IF had known how much fun it
II is to be without a home might
have sold the house a good deal
sooner. For seven years I remained
in the self-Same spot which is al
most a record for New York City.
Nor will I leave the ancestral es-
tate without regret. When first we
met, the place was feStooned with
three mortgages. Now there is only
one. In this very house I turned
40. At this desk columns were writ
ten which would stretch from here
to San Francisco, provided any
Californian cared to see them.
1 have wept, and laughed, and
had the flu within these walls. The
place is alive with memories most
of them pleasant.
But don't like the furnace or
the man who is supposed to run it.
The interstate commerce commits
sion ought to do something about
furnace men. There is no tighter
combination in restraint of trade.
New York is divided into districts
and each local italian is supreme
dictator over his own stretch of ter
ritory. If his work is not satisfac-
tory there is no getting rid of him,
for no other competitor will poach
on his domain
Joe, which is enough like his
name, banks the fires at 5 p. m.
because he must get home for an
early dinner. In sharp weather he
often fails to come out at all be-
cause he doesn't like the night air.
For time I thought of taking on
the job myself, but I only succeeded
in Scalding one hand and filling
the cellar with steam.

Banking Integrity

OUCH cases have ceased to be
- local, because the banking sys-
tenn has ceased to be local.
Nothing has welded us into a ma
ton like the necessity of providing
means for the honest, intelligent
and safe handling of money.
The banking system has become
enc of Uncle Sans pet projects,
and rightly so.
On the integrity of that system
depends not only safety of the peo-
pies cash, but a fair flow of credit
for every kind of business and a
stabilizing influence in such cases
of wild speculation as the country
has just passed through.

What is the Calcutta sweepstake
and how is the betting on it con-
Quoted?
The Calcutta sweepStake is or
ganized by the Calcutta Turf Club,
Calcutta, India; tickets at RS. 10
(about 81 United States currency,
are obtainable only through mem
bers of the club. Forty per cent of
the pool goes for the first prize,
20 per cent for the second prize and
10 per cent for the third prize The
first prize in 1927 amounted, ac-.
cording to newspaper reports, to
1853 900 pounds sterling. There are
also prizes for starters and original
entries and the club retains part of
the pool for expenses. There is no
legal way to secure tickets in the
United States as the sweepstake is
regarded as a lottery within the
meaning of the United States
statutes and no tickets can be re-,
ceived or transmitted through the
mails.

 The Japanese displayed unexpect- cd strength in yesterdays singles matches. each capturing a set from the Americans. Owing to this show ing they were conceded a chance for victory in the doubles. But the youthful American Davis cup duo has faster all ll.around game and was counted on by its supporters to overcome the Japs' chief forte Of crafty court Eeneralship.
 Both Japanese suffered slight in- juries in the singles play. Abe fell in his match. bruising his right fore arm and slightly straining finger. and Ohta, while racing after the ball. suffered a cramp in his right foot. Neither injury. however. was serious enough to slow up their play. Mrs. Herbert Hoover headed yes terday's colorful gallery and Presi- dent Hoover has signified his desire to attend the matches either today or tomorrow. and another turnout of diplomats and government officials had arranged to witness today's con- tests.
 ! Two more singles games will be played tomorrow. concluding the series.
 Ohta gave the best exhibition for the Nipponese yesterday. He captur- ed the first set. 6-4. out-striking Van Ryn in back court battle The Japanese also had an opportunity to win the second set after had had evened the count at fiye-ali, but a stellar nSt and. overhead attack brought Van Ryn 7-5 victory. In the third set, which Van Ryn won, 6-s, and fin the uncompleted fourth set the Americans cross court attack and hard sevricc overcame Ohta. The bespectacled Abe took the third set from Hennessey 6-3 and extended the Hoosier in the first set to deuce s-6 victory. Hennessey, however, displayed his usual form in the other two sets. Winning both 6-1.

BY VERNE WICKHAM

Il BY VERNE WICKHAM The question of honor on the tee is . rather delicate one with many golfers. You might as well steal their clubs and bag as to steal their honor. They get lot of satisfac- ton in shooting first and it Is a courtesy which is protected in the rule book.
 The option of taking the honor on the first tee shall, if necessary, be decided by lot.
 The player who wins the hole has the honor at the next tee. If a hole h halved. the side which had the honor at the previous tee re- tains it.
 The. penalty for stealing the hoaor which rishtfuly belongs Ito your partner or your opponent. as the case may be, is that the shot may at once be recalled and may be re-teed in the proper order, with- out penalty. '-
 This isn't very severe penalty unless it should be exacted on, a short hole after your ball had rolled oh the green and a two seemed probable.
 Aside from the penalty or the rules. 1t is very bad form to tee out of honor. Watch vo"~ ''"" score and honor and take the cor. rect turn at the tee. No na,.., n."' fne a game yAu shoot if you are continually taking the honor when it doesn't belong to you you will be stamped as . poor golfer-for it takes more than good scores to make . man | true golfer!

The Red and Gold team lost 6 to in the second game and on this occasion the New Britain repre- sentatives made only three hits. "Bevo" Hurley was the mastar of the Red and Gold team on each oc- casion. He will probably be called upon to again place his jinx on the hopes of the New Britain team to- morrow,
 Captain Mangan will catch. Billy is starting to find his batting eye and should be great offensive asset to- morrow. Another boy who was hit- ting them early in the season Is due to come through tomorrow. He is Joe Potts. first bayeman. At second base is Clark. former Hartford High player. who is the find of the season. Stanley Partyka is short stop and Joe Bogdanski will hold down the third base position.
 In left field is "Ossie" Osipowicz who shares with Clark the honor of being the best of the new men. The most consistent hitter on the team. Andy Wesoly, will be in center field and right field will be taken care of by Billy Ross who. in the Ken sington game. proved his right to the position. Coach Cassidy is we'll sat isfied with this team. he said today. St. Thomas will lineup as follows: Hurley. p: Burns, c; White, 1st Laws.

Two events in baseball history ih connection with the relations be- tween the New Britain High school and St. Thomas Seminary of Hart ford will be entered on the books tomorrow when the teams of the two institutions clash at } o'clock at Willow Brook park.s
 The game will mark the first time in the history 6f the seminary that the baseball team has ever played on its home grounds in Hartford. But there is soMething more signi- ficant in the game than that.
 Away back in 1903. Harry Man gan. one ot the leading umpires in this city at. the present time. vaz captain Of the high school nine and for the first time in history. then, he led the New Britain team agalnst the Senlinarians. the first team out side of Hartford ever to play base ball against the team there.

Metropolitan Handicap Is Big
 Event for Nature Horses

New York. May c4 N-The
 Metropolitan handicap, rated as the most popular of American races of one mile for mature horses, receives its thirty sixth running tomorrow with all the color that attends the
 renewal of a historic stake event at
 fashionable Belmont Park. The American Newmarket" will pay the
 winner about $1s.00O. It promises to
 be one of the smartest contests in
 the history of the beautiful Long
 Island track.
 Topping the list of eligiblcs is
 Osmand. Joseph E. Widener's great Iive-year-old, which turned in his
 second tobozgan handicap victory
 last Saturday. The mighty son of
 Sweeper II is slated to carry the
 heavy impost of 12s pounds, the same weight he packed when he won
 the opening feature at Belmont. Ten pounds less in the saddle finds
 Polydor. William Zeigler Jr.'s hashy
 four-year-old, which made a horse
 race out of the Tobogsan, losing
 only by head.
 As a three-year-o Osmand fn- ished second to Whiskery in the Kentucky Derby. Then he came east and was second to Black Maria in the Metropolitan. Again last year the Belmont Park stake evaded the Widener gelding. Nimba leading the feld home with Chance Shot, Osmand's stablemate. second. Chance Shot is in tomorrow's fix ture with 1o7 pounds.
 One horse. which may prove dan
 gerous, is Finite, in with the feather of 107 pounds. At Saratoga last year Osmand and Finite staged 8
 head for head duel with the son of The Sweeper winning. Finite. how ever, does not appear to have
 reached his best form this season tiring rapidly in the six-furlons To-
 began after leading the field for lthree-quarters of the route. Of
 the lightweights Regorra with 95
 pounds appears most formidable in
 the light of his last race at Jamaica.
 The son of The Finn. however. may
 be. reserved flor the Withers to be
 run on Memorial Day. The same
 probably will be done with the
 hashy Jack High. which has been
 allotted 112 pounds.
