TWO THAT PARTED

By Frederick F. Hilts T know not when the severance be- gan, Now plain, alas! for every eye to see, And, though full many friends con- ferred, no man Could place before the twain a remedy. Themselves could never state the actual cause, And neither owned on unforSiv- ing heart, Nor ever sinned against good-feel- ing's laws. Yet day by day Time saw them draw apart: Time that from infancy had watch ed their rise Through blameless carly years passed each by each: Even I, close knit to them by natur- al ties, Strove unavailingly to mend the breach. And still our best cndcavors prove in vain To bring together that divided pair; And now I KNOW they will not meet again Those two sides of the parting in my hair!

GENE TtNNEY AT YALE
Dr. Phelps Accused of Staging
 Vaudeville Show Before Class

Editor New Britain Herald;
 Mir. Gene Tunnoy's appearance as q lecturer before Professor Phelps Shakespeare class at Yale has re- ceived the expected (and possibly deslred) publicity. Though ] do not propose 10 question Tunnoy's intel ligenco or acquaintance with some of inc best literature I do question his qualjiicatlons as q lecturer upon Shakespeare, although if he had confined himself to discussion Of the impressions he received from "A Midsummer Nights Dream I should not have doubted his ability to do SO in view Of what happened at Chicago last summer What induced Professor Phelps 10 invite Tunney 10 take over his class for an after noon is hard to understand. Pro- fcssorial antics usually arc.
 Isut Tunncy's lecture was not ill~ fcrior 10 most of those the students have 10 listen 10 from dry-as- dust professors whose personalities act like opiatcs in making their lcc- lures disagreeable but painless: if his was bad, so are those usually given by college professors. The average college classroom is an in- tcllcctual Sahara where an up to date idea is as extraordinary as a cloudburst: there the students are fcttercd by the morals and prcJu- dices of an older generation and have 10 resort 10 sophisticated magazines for any kind of in- tcllrctual stimulus, If Professor Phelps thought he was supplying that intellectual stimulus when he gave his class over 10 Tunney he was mistaken; he merely staged a vaudeville show.

OLD BARNEY TO
SUCCEED BUCKY
Walter johnson Will Return til
Club With Which He
Worked 20 Years

Washington. Oct. 12.-(AP)-The
way apparently was cleared today
for the triumphal return to Wash
ington of Walter johnson not as a
pitcher, but as manager Of the team
for which he toiled for 20 years.
President Clark Griffith, on being
informed that the Newark, N. j.,
club, would not place obstacles in
the path Of the veteran pitchers
promotion, said that If Newark
would let him 60, Washington would
sign him.
If johnson is given the manage
ment of the senator's he will replace
Stanley Harris, who was recently re-
lieved of command. The ultimate
destination of Harris has not been
determined, although it has been
predicted freely that he would head
another major league club, with De-
troit foremost in the gossip.
Johnson took over the Newark
club at the beginning of last season.
He was i'll much of the time during
which the team was in training and
did not produce a consistent winner.
There is much sentiment in WASH
ington for him. however, and a de-
termined effort has been made by
some of his friends to have him re-
turn to the only major league club
with which he has ever worked.
