BABY, STRUCK ON HEAD
BY BALL, RECOVERING
Tot Rendered Senseless at
Game in Walnut Hill
Park

Dorothy Lang. one and one half
years old. daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
William E. Lang of 65 Fairview
street,appears to have suffered no
serious effects from being struck
by a baseball in the center field on
Diamond No. 2 at Walnut Hill park
last night. Despite the fact that the
child was rendered unconscious
when the ball landed on her head
as she was crawling about the grass,
today she shows no effects of the ac-
cident except a large lump on her
skull
The child was within a few feet
OF Its mother in the grass near the
wire screen erected this season by
the park board for the protection OF
tennis players. Ferguson was at bat
for the Fafnir team and Jim Nc
Cormick of kensington pitching.
Ferguson met fast ball squarely and
sent it high into the air into deep
center field.
The center and left flelders of the
American Paper Goods team ran for
the ball but they could not reach il.
Dorothy crawled right into the path
of the sphere as it descended and it
struck her squarely on the head with
thump that could be plainly heard
in the bleachers near home plate.
The child tumbeld over uncon-
scious. Her mother. dazed at the
suddenness of the accident, swept
her into her arms and rushed her
in an automobile to New Britain
General hospital. On the way, the
child regained consciousness and,
although dazed. appeared to be suf-
fering no i'll effects.
Authorities at the hospital urged
the parents to allow the child to stay
at the institution until today when
N-ray pictures could be made but
they wanted her home. The child
was entered at 1880 O'Clock and left
at Sis o'clock for home.
Today the child is reported to be
hardly any the worse for her ex-
perience.

Hope is Revived
Dispatches from Copenhagen yes
terday said that the possibility of
Captain Roald AmundSen and his
five companions landed safely on the
ice north of Franz Josef Land had
been suggested by Commander
Gottfried Hansen. Norwegian naval
officer and explorer.
Commander Hansen who was next
IN command to Amundsen in the
1908 expedition OF the sloop Gjoa,
said that if Amundsen landed in this
region the party would have no diff
tlculty in existing for any length Of
time since there was plenty of big
game there. He thought that
Amundsan would try to reach Cape
Flora and that it might be months
before they would be heard from.

Hartford, July IS R}-The aver
age value per acre of state-owned d
land on which Connecticut will pay
before September /, certain grants to
various towns in lieu OF taxes, in ac-
cordance with chapter 246, public
acts OF 1925 as amended in chapter
3l2, public acts of 1927, has de-
creased in the last two years from
S16.S4 TO $12.5s. This is due largely
to the increase in state forest land,
not worth as much as good farming
or other properly.
The extensive acquisition of such
territory has. however. been the
chief reason for increasing the total
acreage of state-owned property af-
fected by this statute from 25,625
acres in October. 1925, to 4S,4oO in
October, 1927 or nearly doubling in
two years the amount of land held
by Connecticut i'll various towns and
on which it must pay these grants
next month.
This year rs towns are entitled
to receive the grants from the state
treasury.
The total valuation of all such
state owned property on which
grants were paid for the first time in
1896 was S43l,529 and the average
tax rate was 2o.2S mills. The grants
to 80 towns totaled $7,155.9S.

attempt TO PUT BAN
ON PADDOCK FAILS
Runner Accused of Trying
to "Frame" British Star
BY False Starts

Amsterdam. July 25.-UP)-A
new efofrt to disaualify Charles
Paddock, veteran American sprint
star, was made by the British dele
cation today at a meeting of the
executive committee of the Inter-
national Olympic committee.
The effort was believed to have
failed.
General kentish, the British dele
gate, at a secret meeting of the
committee last night, quoted a Lon
don newspaper article in which it
was charged that Paddock had
boasted four Americans in the 100
pard dash at the Paris games in
1924 agreed to make successive
false starts in order TO tire out
Harold Abrahams. the British star.
but finally did not do So
kentish was asked for proof of
the charge. He had none, and it was
decided not to refer the question, in
absence of further proof, to the in
ternational committee--ae Kentish
had requested.
The charge has American officials
worried. though Paddock has an
alibi on the charge. He told the
United Press that he did outline
such possibility as General Kentish
suggested. but only as what profess
slonals might have done in a similar
race. Amateurs, Paddock insists he
explained, would not do such thing.
Gen. kentish, in preferring his
charge, produced clippings from the
London newspaper news of the
World. The newspaper said that
Paddock, during a radio talk in the
United States. confessed an attempt
to frame" Abrahams by the false
starts,
1t was added that the scheme was
tried at the Stockholm Olympics.
but for various reasons was not
finally tried at Paris.
The fact of the matter seems to
be that Paddock made an injudicoius
radio speech in which he tried to
outline the hypothetical difference
between amateur and professional
running. He did not succeed in MAX
ing himself clear.
Paddock's speech has been pub
lished in the United States in the
magazine The Sportsman, of Boston
General kentish was advised to-
day to refer the matter direct to
General Douglas Macarthur, head
of the American Olympic commit
tee. who before the charge was
made had received from Paddock
an explanation that some consider
to be satisfactory.
Jackson Scholtz and the other
sprinters involved in the question as
competitors at the Paris games are
disturbed that TIE British are rails
ing it, because they feel it is bound
to reflect on them. despite their
complete innocence.
Nothing of the kind ever hap
pened," said Scholtz. I'VE were
Mortified when we first read the re-
puted speech of Paddock. but Char
lie has informed us that he was mis-
understood completely"

Suggestion to Charge Speakers
for Privilege Of Airing Views
at Civic Club Luncheons Here
Joseph NJ Ward Proposes Schedule of Rates. Including
$40 for Minister'S Professors and School, City and
Town Officials Who Say Nothing
$20O-Professional Speakers, $500.

A proposition that speakers be
charged for the privilege OF address
sing the kiwanis club in the future
was made by past President J. NJ.
Ward at the noon luncheon at the
Burritt hotel today.
Mr.. Ward opened his remarks by
calling attention to the frequent
criticisms aimed al civic clubs, which
states that they have degenerated
into organizations where members
eat weekly luncheon, listen to a
weekly speech and do few minor
things in which they are more or
less interested.
He pointed out that the club
spends from $3.50 TO $500 a year to
hear speakers. some of whom are
propaganda experts, some of whom
speak to boost their own business or
themselves personally and others
who simply talk against time.
He suggested the following scale
of rates which he said speakers
should be charged:
kiwanis members. ministers and
college professors, SO per speech.
School, city and town officials, SO
per speech.
