BRITISH RACER
is BEHEADED
IN AUTO GRASP !

PENDINE Wales, March (F-J.
G. Parry-Thomas, one of the great
est British automobile racers, met a
terrible death today while trying to
break the worlds automobile speed
record.
The driving chain broke as he
piloted a huge racing car along the
sands of the beach at the terrific
speed of 100 miles an hour. The big
automobile turned three somersaults
and sl1idded about $50 yards. A
wheel came off and the broken
driving chain whipped around Parry
Thomas neck, almost severing It,.
He apparently died instantly ana
the body was so entangled in the
lwreackage that rescuers had to
break one leg before it could be
pulled clear Of the blazing car.
Parry-Th homas met his death in
continuing the speed competition in
augurated some time ago, among
himself, Malcolm Campbell and
Major H o. Seagrave. Major Sea-
grave sailed for New York yesterday
EN- route to Daytona Beach, F1a
where he hopes to smash all auto
mobile speech records driving
mystery car of British make, which
is said to be capable of a speed Of
200 miles an hour.
Parry Thomas himself made
record of 172 miles an hour from a
flying start over a mile course here
last April. He went out today to
better it, using a 400 horsepower
car with a 12-cylinder engine.

Babe Ruth Business
Engagements Prevent
Signing New Contract

NEW YORK, March 8 lP-Babe Ruth
took another long flight into the realm
of high finance today to plan $780,
600 trust fund, new $4,000 motion
picture contract, investments in Flori-
da real estate and finally tussle with
Uncle Sam over his income tax.
Babes business engagements came
so thick and fast that postponement of
the formal signing of his contract with
the Yankees under which he is to re-
ceive $4,000 for the next three sea-
sons, became necessary.
The event was put off to II o'clock
tomorrow morning, after which the
home run king will pack his grips for
the trek to the southern training camp
on Saturday
Friends ventured the opinion that
Ruth decided they had turned over a
new financial leaf" as announcement

Football Rule Makers
In Lively Scrimmage
On HuddIe and Shift

NEW YORK, March 3 P)-Rule-
makers of the gridirons, meeting in an
nual session here Friday and Saturday,
are prepared for lively scrilnmages
against the huddle and the shift.
With approval of the two second
pause after shifts strongly indicated
by action of the western conference
and the eastern r-collegiate Off
cials' association, the intercollegiate
rules committee also will consider a
recommendation for eliminating abuses
of the group system for signaling.
Sentiment was described today as very
strongly in favor of fixing definite
time limit on the convention" of
players before the ball is snapped.
Attacks on the huddle may draw q
sharp defense from Bill Roper of
Princeton, who is a member of the
committee. Roper has been staunch
advocate of the system which has been
used by victorious Tiger teams for the
last two seasons.
The two second hesitation on shifts,
the effectiveness of which is consid-
cred to have improved by use of the
huddle, is expected to be written into
the rules, despite the strenuous OBJ
lection of Knute Rockne, and other
coaches and officials. The famous
Notre Dame coach had contended that
capable officials can regulate the play
without stop watches, but eastern ref
erees and umpires have put in strong
recommendation for a definite hesita-
tion ruling.
The point after touchdown, is ex-
pected to draw less attention than
heretofore, members of the committee
claiming that the play generally has
1een approved throughout the country.

attempted assault on the child. He learned that Bruderek had attempt ed the assault, but the child's father was not inclined to have him punished, his view of the incident being that it was advisable to allow it to drop inasmuch as the child had not been harmed.
 Early last evening. Bruderek was taken to the town home for observa- ticn and the intent was to have him committed to an institution should his condition be found to demand treatment. At S:30 o'clock the night watchman sounded the bell for the inmates to go to their rooms and incidentally he asked Bruderek if he was going to retire. Bruderek re- piled that it was too early and the watchman left him to make his rounds. About five minutes later he returned to Bruderek's room and was surprised to find the bed empty. Flashing his light about he discov- cred the dead body dangling from a short piece of cord.
 At the town home today 1t was said the manner in which Bruderek came into possession of the cord could not be understood. Mrs. G. Waite Palmer. matron. and Superin- tendent J. L. Doyle of the public welfare department said it was be- yond their comprehension, while at police headquarters it was said that Bruderek had no cord in his pos- session when he was delivered to the town home, as all his belongings were taken from him when he was placed in his cell.
 Bruderek was born in Russia, on March IT, 1896, and came to the United States in 1909. In 1922 he came to New Britain after having lived in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and other places. He was unmarried and is survived by an uncle, Frank Lominski of Clinton. Mass, and a sister, Mrs. Rose Rozmalinowska of IHaydenville, Mass.
 Funeral arrangements are incom- plete pending the arrival of the sis- ter from Massachusetts. Frank P. Duffy is the undertaken.

 Assurance that Harry yet would submit to arrest and clear himself of the matricide charge ran through the girls testimony before the in- quest.
 One fragment of her story took weight from the theory that young Hill may have quarreled with his mother over his approaching mar riage to Miss Sawyer.
 Never during all their romance did he speak of any opposition from his family. she said. Yet he was frank with her. she testified, and admitted his passion for gambling.
 Two attorneys, who handled the business affairs of Dr. Hill. were among the witnesses.
 Both told of approaching young Hill because of the fathers interest in having him brace up and be man." and of questioning him about the checks over which he had diff1- culty.
 Hill told them. they agreed, that his mother had consented to his signing her name. They added however, that they were unable to interview the mother.
