BASEBALL SEASON
 OPENS ON SUNDAY
Silk Sox Preparing for Game With Strong Team From
 Rockville
Needing On. of Thirty Candidates
 Soon to Begin

 Twilight hours find the Silk Sox hard at work in preparation for their rane next Sunday with the strong ! Rockville club. The thirty odd in- duslrious candidates are working out under the wntehful eye of Coach Wil- ] liamson.
 Intield prospects, about thirteen strong. make the selection Of the starting lineup a rather puzzling af- fair. Undoubtedly Jimmy will effect several changes in the early games before making q final choice. First base is the center of much e0ntro- versv with Red Bennett. Lefty Du- Qas. Bin Mccoy, and Eddie Hogerson clamoring for premier honors. John nv Cafrey, nifty B-H twirler in '27 and Ray Joyle. lately of Lowell, are throwing up considerable dirt around second while Snid Tatro canters through his paees at third. Leo Carey, recent import from the outer garden, has made favorable impression with his bullet throw to first from the short field He is sharing the as- signment with Bud Sabin, recent Tufts College celebrity.
 The outheld promises to feature the local organization this year with four veterans all heavy hitters strut ting their stuff in mid-season style. Lefty Touchette, now sporting i9O pounds. and Rip Nelson. l7s. pro mise to make q dangerous pair Of sluggers in the batting list. Walt plankv seems to have hit his old bat ting stride trying more for the ave rage than that much desired felt top per by Milot < Williams.
 Pitching Squad
 The pitching squad also has con siderable color In their early work outs. Putnam talent, including speedy Art Lavalle. George Harper, Earl Blake, Dick Tatro and Pigeon. shows more than the expected class for spring work. It K good bet that Williamson will send each of them m for spell this weekend. .
 Lefty Dugas. classed as the best all around performer in Norwich for the past two seasons. has been added Go the list of twiflers thereby strength. ening the battery to q big extent. I.aftyfs style has proven quite popular HNtNANUAt# NAaNhA AAtA AttH HAatNfr+s comes as a big boost to the SIX sox. Baraier or Cooler Melon will be seen behind the plate.
 4 new stand which should hold at feast 300 fans has been erected along ihe first base line for those wishing 70 view the game from the west side. The management further announces that top wiil be erected before the warmer davs fl the early season at tendance Is up te par.
 The Rockville club comes down with 6 first class rep. By achieving post sea son wins over the Cheney Bros. and the New Departure clubs they have laid claim to the mid-Connecticut title. The silk Sox defeated them last year in a 9th inning rally by the score of 5-4. Mayor Richards will officially usher in the season at O. clock. D. $. T. So, as Darbie said to Joan.

HEMP PROBLEM
TAKEN UP WITH
CROP EXPERTS

When }. c. Rauser, OF the Silsbec
district, came into the chamber of
commerce this morning, and stated
that he had a farming problem to
solve, Secretary Hays Immediately
Offered to help him. Rauser's prob
lem had to do with hemp produc-
tion, or with getting a stand of
hemp. Various means have been
tried to get a perfect stand but
without success. The young hemp
plant extremely delicate and tender,
and finds it difficult to rear its
head above ground, although the
root system is strong and sturdy.
Other growers besides Rauser have
met with the same difficulty here.
They hope to overcome it.
Hays has addressed the technical
experts Of the Z. S. Department of
Agriculture at Washington, and the
College Of Agriculture at Berkeley,
and has asked them to help with
the problem. Hemp promises to be
come one Of the largest and most
important field crops here, the kind
of crop from which Imperial Val
ley has been accustomed to make
its greatest successes. \ factory
has been established near San Diego
for utilization Of the product, and
hemp culture viii undoubtedly be
one Of the most dependable staples.
The Linen Products Company at
Chula Vista is interested in obtain
ing Il perfect stand, and is is believ-
ed that a means will be found by
next season to insure the planter
4 reasonably perfect stand. The
chamber means to continue its eff
forts until a way of planting of ir
rigation is cnyolved which shall
overcome the obstacle if imperfect
stand.
