Of Sports

We just found out today that
sChucky" Wojack, Francis Sheehan
and "Starhead" Budnick are off on
: trip to Washington. D. c.. and all
way stations. There is q persistent
rumor about the Falcon club house
tor the past few days that Sheehan
IS on a honeymoon trip. Whether
This Is true or false will be found
out when frankie returns.
There is a great deal Of trouble
n the Rotary Boys league because
has been discovered that some Of
he players on the teams are over
4 years of age. The age limit for
he league is II years. Because of
his discovery. League Manager
dwight Skinner has posted the fol-
owing notice to managers and
layers in the Rotary league which
ras read before the games yester-
ay:
THE age limit for players In this
.ague is IA years and under. This
ule will be strictly enforced and If
re detect any team using boys over
he age limit, the boys will be ex-
'elled from the league and all
,ames won by their team will be
.warded to their opponents"
This rule should be clear enough
all the team managers and play
.rs. When a group Of boys cannot
enter a league and observe the rules
there should be punishment melted
out to them. Birth certificates are
required but in some cases these
have been allowed to slid because
the honesty OF the boys in question,
was accepted as q fact.
However. the discovery that boys
over the age limit were playing on
teams In the league, has led Man.
ager Skinner to take summary &C.
tion and just what the outcome will
be, remains to be seen.
The league Is, without any excep-
fion. the most successful baseball
circuit In this city and the waving
of the age rule would serve to put
a damper on the smaller boys play
Ing. The limit of II years is q
good one because the older boys are
able now to play In the Junior City
Hague.
The Rotary league Is the best
means found to develop baseball
layers and the boys at IA and I'M
DER are Just at the good age for de-
elopment.
Many arguments have been offer
ID in the contention that the age
INIT should be raised to Is or 16
ears, but we are Of the opinion
hat this would surely not serve the
purpose for which the league was
ormed. Boys at IL or 16 years are
much bigger and stronger than the
nidgets OF II to II and with the
eague closed to boys over II years
age, IL gives all tne ldOs "ne
lave a laundering to play ball, a
nance that they would not have
,therWlse.
Too much can never be said about
he sportsmanship OF the men in the
Rotary club who support year after
ear this league. We all can re.
lember back to the days Of child.
bod when we would have reveled
l league such as the present or.
g,nization.
Because this never came our way
we ell rejoice In the opportunity
offered to the boys Of New Britain
throug Fred Rackliffe and his great
crew o sports, for the great chances
4 they gre the youngsters to become
baseball players.
Afterwatching the boys in actor
for the past few years. we have be.
come cuvinced that in the future

Without harping on one subject
too much. we return to the subject
OF Jack Dempsey. All ground us is
the feeling that Sharkey can beat
Dempsey but there Is always the
element of doubt. Were we to can

would come out definitely and say
that sharkey can and will defeat
Dempsey.

giving him though we certainly

Through tie Static

As we listened 10 the radio last night We heard several things. That statement is in keeping with our usual policy Of starting off this col umn with q bang. We immediately get the reader into a high pitch ot excitement and then tell him what We have to say. That bare statement We heard several things is enough 10 make governments tottcr, kings get dizzy as their thrones begin 10 Quiver and tremble, prime ministers seek cyclone cellars and all the cm- pcrors of finance shoot their cuffs, Paragraph, Miss Blittcns).
 ' Conditions last night might have been classified as good and they might have been classified as not so good. Of course. We can't say any thing without getting jumped on by someone who has the best radio set in town: W. never get any static: oh. yes. wC heard WTIC and Spring field every night without any noise at all," and so we'll take the bull by |the horns and statr that while sta tons within a hundred miles or so came through in good form, some of the others. with the exception of the more powerful Chicago broadCastcrs, suffered. l. wasn't one of thosc nights when one could pick up any thing that cam" along the pike, For ;,; .,I o at, | with us during most of the evening. For another thing. there seemed to he a soft hisslng that came in with every station, plotting out many oi the more feeble tranSmitters and making even the stronger ones rath- CT muddy at times. There was plenty of fading. but not much static, in fact. we heard very little static. That's something tQ be thankful for, Not that we didn't have a good time at the set last night. We did, but the possibilities for distant reception were not great. There have been much better evenings during the past few weeks.
 Part of the Woodrow Wilson foundation dinner was held from WEE, presenting the feature in con- junction with WIZ. Newton W. Baker, secretary of war under Pres ilent Wilson. was the principal speaker of the evening, We had heard him before, but We enjoyed his talk more last night than we did on that previous occasion. W2Z was strong. WIZ was strong, but it had q tendency to fade terribly.
 WMCA, New York, had as bad an attack of most everything as We have ever heard. II did some funny fading and twisting every time w. tried to tune in. Distortion preceded and followed every attack Of the fades, with the result that there was about one minute of clear re Ception out of every five. We tried to hear a dance orchestra play Among My Souvenirs" but Wt found oursclf almost standing on oui head, along with the station, so Wc lulI btiOlt we Dlbht our IlttA.
