 BATTLE HARTFORD
Ancient Rivals to Clash in This
 City Saturday Afternoon

Probably at no other time in the course of it's athletic relationship with Hartford have the chances of a New Britain basketball victory over Hartford Public High school been brighter. The ancient rivals will play the first of a home and home series of games at. the New Britain gym nasium Saturday afternoon at . o'clock.
 Announcement is expected that the second team of tho Hartford school will play the Junior Reserves. The New Britain team scored it's 25th straight victory in the opening game of the season. Their string of wins has extended over a period COW erIng the three years previous 10 this year.
 There is q possibility that the junior team may not meet with the success it has experienced in other years owing 10 the loss of its former manager and organizer. Ken Saun- dcrs. This is the first year he has 4lNt b|NIt GlAliN'lS 4'tl 'i 's'A''l III tIl' team. General Athletic Manager Fred Morrin is doing the double duty this year.
 Iiartford's record has not been a bit impressive this year. It has met defeat al every turn and is numbered among the weakest of the three high school team of Hartford. The divi- sion of the high school student body or the Capital City into three high schools has weakened the school considerably. The Red and Gold quintet has played the other two school teams, Weaver High in the north end Of the city and Bu}keley High school in the south end and has scored victories over the two.

"ACEs' KNOCKED GALLEY WEST IN CAME LAST
 NIGHT WITH F|REMEN

The famous Aces" who heretofore have been unbeaten in local indoor baseball contests, fell by the wayside last night when the crack Firemen's aggregation, composed of former big league stars, swatted their way to IA to victory over the snappy champs. The outcome was never in doubt from the first inning, for every member of the Firemen's outfit were slamming the "pill' with much gusto far and wide. SheIlhorn, diminutive captain of the "Smoke-eaters," smack ed out glorious homer the first time at bat and to this terrific blow was attributed the failure of the Aces to perform in their usual brilliant style. It apparently took all the pep out of them To make them like it, fence buster Valade then strode to the bat and smashed out ripping two-bagger which almost went through the side of the building. From that point on the tallies kept mounting steadily. Valade twirled for the Bremen and Stevenson for the Aces. Shellhorn supported Val and Hoppy backed up Steve.
 One ofthe outstanding features of the game was the remarkable come back of Hannon who, after being out of the game for months with bad knee, cantered about last night like young colt, crashed the horsehide to all corners of the lot, ran bases with an abandon bewildering to the base men and handled the first sack, his regular position, with -suave free dom which brought salvos of applause from the bleachers.
 Harry Henrikson, the keen-eyed ar bitter of balls, strikes and rules, carried the game along smoothly and fast without dissenting voice from either side Mclaughlin, former slugger with the White Sox," who failed to make the majors this season, and who Isigned up as umpire, handled the bases in last nights slaughter to the satis- faction of all.

 Dr. Meakins. professor Of medi- cine at McGill university, Montreal, told hundreds of physicians and sur seons at the interstate post gradu- ate medical association convention here that the symptoms of rheumatic fever often are detected in children as young as five years old. In 90 per cent Of the cases this develops into heart disease. he added.
 Rheumatic fever is not rheuma- tism," he declared. Tt is a fever called by that name because it all most always is accompanied by synptomatic swelling of the Joints.
 'Rheumatism is a name that never should have gone into the medical dictionary. It is term applied loose iy 10 almost any ache or pain out side the abdominal region"
 He found that rest was the best treatment for the fever, 'just as it is for any ailment.' He said he be- lieved rheumatic fever is infectious, but that the germ causing it has not been determined.
