LONDON APPROVES
 H0OVER'S MESSAGE
Mention Of Armament Costs
 ArOuSeS Most Interest

London. Dec. 4 LP-Possible huge expenditures involved in American armament construction as outlined in yesterdays residential message to congress attracted most attention in the London Press today.
 The Times cditorially noted the admirable Canlor' Of President Hoover in calling attention 10 the amount it will be necessary to spend if the London naval conference is not successful. The paper added that while the United States was better able than any other country 10 carry such burden the figures must be sufficiently disquicting to thc American people"
 The Times added: Apart from his high hopes for success at the naval conference the only comfort he could give the taxpayers was reference to the Kellogg pact'
 The Telegraph referring to tn" Kellogg pact remarked that the failure 10 secure concerted attitude Of inc powers in Manchuria is a reminder Of the limitations sci to that achievement Of statesmanship to which Mr. Hoover alludes with well warranted pridc.'
 The Mail and Chronicle euolo- eized the alertnoss of the Hoover policy and called upon the British oOvprOmnOf to initiate it cSpeCiGllN with regard 10 mployment.

New London, Dec 4 (P}-With the of East Lyme, on several serious charges. it was learned that an ef- fort had been made by him in that town last night to wreck one of +he
 fast New Haven railroad trains. The Cannonball express, fast freight running from New York to
 Boston. crashed into a 500 pound boulder which had been placed on the cast bound track in East Lyme. and although none of the crew were injured the locomotive was consld- crably damage and the running con- trols were also damaged so that the tram was forced to travel at a slow rate 10 Midway where repairs were made.
 The boulder mad been rolled onto the tracks at q curve and the en- gineer Of the freight train was un- able to see it until the locomotive
 was almost upon it.
 The freight train struck the boulder at li:19 D. m., and it is the belief of the state and railrold police that Kennclt had intended Wrecking the Bar Harbor express. which, carrying several hundred
 passengers. most of whom wera
 asleep. passed the point just a few minutes earlier.
 Kcnnctt, described by the state police as shiftless and vicious was arrested near the scene of his tffort
 to wreck the train at 7:&0 o'clock this morning. The arrest was made by Captain William r. Conley and Sergeant John McAuliffe of the New Haven office of the railroad police and Lieut.. David Markas and Sct- geant John McGrath of the local railroad office.

SHIELDS CAUSES ! TILDEN ID WORRY
Nineteen Year Old Youngster
 Threatens Stars Prestige

New York. Sept. II Np)-Nina- toen-ycar- old Frank x. Shields is a threat to Big BilI' THdon's future American tennis supremacy, and the slipping veteran faces that fact somewhat irritably.
 By beating Shields in a dramatic match at Forest Hills yesterday, 2-G, 6-1. 14-12, GA, Tilden paved the way 10 another probable singles championship but the angry way m which he did it revealed he was worried about the future insofar as Frankie" was concerned Through the early stages of the match it was Good shot, Frankie" "Yos, sir, an ace, Frankie' as the tall youngsters placements and serves aizzlcd across the net
 But in that embattled third set, with Shields showing an ability 10 come from behind with successive service aces, the veterans demeanor changed.

 There was a low murmur from the gallery, and Shields lifted a 1 hags1rd face 10 the umpire. That official was silent, puzzled. | Shields served the ball over. But i Tildcn still stood there, making no move toward the ball. He wanted a ruling from the um- pire on that previous play he sail and so Shiolda' effort again failed 10 count. Once more the befudd1o1 young star served the ball. and this time TiIdon deigncd 10 play | By this time tho audience WAS openly hostile to TilIon. And there were untonnialk" "hoos" in the 24th game when Big BlI' again let a serve go past him and demanded a re-play because he said a ball-boy was still on his side of the court when Shields struck the ball. IL was a critical moment in the match and the action disconccrted Shields.

BIG SQUAD OUT FOR HIGH ELEVEN
Seyenty-Five Candidates Re
 SDond to First Practice Call

A scuad of 75 candidates, th2 largest to respond 10 the hign school football call in recent years, report ad at Willow Brook park yesterday afternoon to begin the long grind of three months training.
 Coach George Nl Cassidy issued uniforms to approximately 12 can- Gidatos. veterans who are likely 10 be regulars this year. They were obliged to use the pants of last years uniforms pending the arrival ot this years order
 Boys of all sizes and description were scattered about tn" field yes tcrday afternoon. Some lillely-look- { ing freshmen were present among them being a good many heavy boys who may give the holders of guard and tackle positions a good run for their places.
 { Although there are only four members left Of the team which started against Hartford High last year there ar" many substltutts wht were regular previous to the game The team will probably be built about Joe Ludwinowicz who played left tackle, Joe Potts, guard and captain. Joe Bogdanski end, ana Billy Ross and Billy Mangan, back field. The task this year seems t. be left to the Joes and Billys.
 This afternoon another practice session will probably be held a which time more definite idea o1 the strength Of the squad will bt determined.
