ATHLETICS 10 PLAY IN
 NEW HAVEN TOMORROW
Philadelphia Ansericans, SenAatiOs'
 0f League, to Rattle Eastern

New Haven. Sept. 4.-Baseball's greatest attraction. the colorful Philadelphia AthleticA make their first and only bow before . Con- necticut audience tomorrow after noon at the 6avin Rock ball park where they are booked for an exhibi- ton game at 3:30 with the league leading New Haven Profs of the Eastern league. The appearance here of the Athletics comes at most opportune time for the great battle the club is waging to overcome the Yankees in the American league pennant scramble has taken a firm hold on the baseball public the world over and the local manage ment expects capacity house to greet the hard fighting charges of Connie Mack.
 Mack, himself. will direct his club and he has promised every regular for the game. Since the team will stop off at New Haven during its trip to Boston, even the first string hurlers will be in uniform although the tall tactician has not promised to pitch Lefty Grove or any of his aces during the contest. But, every member of the squad will be in uni- form for the game. That means Jim my Foxx. the new sensation of the league. Al Simmons, robust fence- wrecker, Ossie Orwell. versatile pitcher. outfielder. first baseman, Joe Boley, Joe Hauser, Sammy Hale. Jimmy DykeA Gordon Cochrane. greatest catcher in baseball today, Bing Miller. Mule Haas and the three grand veterans. Ty Cobb. Iris Speak, CT and Eddie Collins will all be on hand to take part in the contest.
 For downright baseball class. it Is hard to find the equal of the present Mack brigade. Connie has two full teams one just about as good as the other, and all these athletes will see some service. Former Eastern laguers in the lineup include Mule Haas, the youthful fly chaser, and Joe Hassler, who starred for Water- bury last season. Every member of the team is guaranteed for the game, that much being included in an iron clad contract which brings the game to New Haven.

 FAR EASTERN WAR
Continued from First Page) after he had apologized 10 th. Japanese.
Fighting Goes OR,


 Tokyo, May 10 R.-Japanese troops today continued to battle against the Chinese nationalists around Tsinan in an attempt to dis arm them, and it was stated unof- flcially in government circles that Japan would neither ask nor accept mediation in the Shantung affair.
 Four Japanese were killed and 20 wounded when the 2sth brigade un- der General Sotoyama joined battle with powerful force of Chinese un- der General Chen Tiao Yuan. The Chinese casualties were severe.
 Prior to this engagement General Sotoyama's forces had succeeded in disarming a force of southerners at Rotten. about IS miles east Of Tsinan. The Japanese forces also occupied many strategic points around Tsinan.
 The unofficial government view regarding mediation was that Japan did not consider tho present situa- ton war and that therefore the mat ter could be settled Automatically between China and Japan. It was not believed that the United States would assume the role of mediator and intimations that the United States would were regarded as pro paganda emanatins from Tsinan.

R07ARIANS HEAR
 TALK ON CARTOONS
Frazer Tells How Easy It Is to
 Make S2M,000 Yearly

Members Of the New Britain Ro- tary club. after listening to the re- ports of the treasurer and secretary at the weekly luncheon in the Bur ritt hotel this noon. were entertain cd by Don Frazer. a cartoonist who admitted that he lived in Salem, Conn. and was one of the two democrats in the town.
 Fra ger first gave a brief history of the profession, stating that drawing cartoons was a speciality and not an art, He said that shortly after the Civil War, Thomas Mast drew the first cartoons. These appeared in Harper's Weekly and were shafts directed at the Tammany club and corrupt politics. They found great favor among the readers ot the magazines and resulted in a wide spread cleanup.
 Walter McDougal was the first newspaper cartoonist He drew for the New York World.
 The comic strip cartoonist is the most profitably paid in the business. he said. Henry (Bud) Fisher be- gan work 20 years ago at a salary of s10 week working for the San Francisco Examiner. Today his car- toons are published in more than 800 papers in this country and abroad and he draws a salary of about s25O,0o0 a year. Sidney Smith from an obscure talker and entertainer. became millionaire and is now a power in Chicago. Mar tin Branner commands $75.000 q year.
 Cartooning began with the stone age. He stated that everyone has the ability to draw. A child's first scrawls are no more crude than its first attempts to talk. The ladies are the more adept at painting. he said. although they purchase their mater ials in tho drug stores.
 He ended his entertainment by drawing . number of cartoons on a chart, including many likenesses of prominent Rotartans present.

in this event. The final score was
% to II.
The final game, with Bertha and
Henning as contenders, was a
classic in the art of basketball.
Both teams fought hard and being
evenly matched were unable to
gain any decided advantage. The
score was too close for comfort
throughout the entire game, the
first half ending 9 to 8 for Ber-
tina. Beginning at the second half
Bertha made a free throw bringing
their count to 10, while the Morse
men followed with a field goal tie
ing the score, and so it was nip
and tuck to the end. During the
last few seconds of play the game
stood 20 to 20, when one of the
Henning boys foulei Zimmerman,
star forward of the Bertha team,
and the game was over FL to 20.
This win entities the Bertha squad
to compete in. the class A tourna-
ment in this city next Friday after
noon and evening. . ..a... J..
Many fans from the four con-
tending villages were here to boost
their teams to victory, however,
Bertha sent the largest delegation
and with their boys band made a
very good showing. The roofing
was all clean and the visitors ex-
pressed themselves as being highly
elated over the treatment received
in Sank Centre.
The choice of places on the all
district team was as follows: Zim-
norman, No. 5, Bertha, forward :;
Johnson, No. A., Henning, for
ward; Seaver, No. 3, Bertha, CEN
tire; Thies, No. 10, Parkers Prairie,
guard; Amrens, No. 4, Upsala,
guard. Honorable mention: Dilly.
Henning tBottemiller, Bertha; Ros-
coe, Parkers Prairie. The sports
manship trophy was given to the
Parkers Prairie team. The above
awards, according to the writer's
idea, were very we'll made. Every
man chosen for the all-district team
was an outstanding player and
would have been the choice of the
Herald. The Parkers Prairie team
in receiving the, craftsmanship
trophy was well picked for they dis
played excellent qualities in this
line. However, it might be said
to the credit of the other teams
present that the difference in
craftsmanship was very small and
no one could have found fault
with the committee had they select
ed any of the other organizations.
A banquet for the visiting teams,
coaches and school heads was held
in the school dining room after the
game. o ssa,.>szs aE..zaoE
