must go to the New Britain boy who was able to win the title despite the fact that he played in only one sport, football.
 He was member of the New Britain High school football team which won the state championship in 1924. This was considered the greatest team in the schools history and Beloin was an important cog in the machine. At that time he played a tackle position. He was graduated in June 1925 and was president Of his class.
 In the election held for the cap- taincy of the F0rdham football team he lost by close vote. but the win ner. a substitute, failed to make the team and Beloin was the acting cap tain all season.

 A single by Joe Potts, local first baseman, in the ninth inning with two men out and a man on, sayed the team and robbed Hurley of tho chance to enter the baseball hall of fame.
 It was the first victory of tho sea. son for the seminary team. Hurley. all through the contest, had the To. calls eating out of his hand and he gave one of the finest exhibitions of preparatory school pitching ever seen in Hartford. Only 30 New Brit. ain batsmen faced him during the rfne innings. Of these. two rot to first on passes and the other rot on through an infield error. In six of the nine innings. the New Britain team was retired in order. Hurley struck out four men.
 The ninth proved to be a fortu. nate one for New Britain.

Then Potts sent drive into left field that fell fair by inches and Partyka scored. Mangan grounded out to Hurley to end the game.

HUNDREDS ATTEND
RELIGIOUS MEETING
Rabbi Simon Presides at Ses-
sion Sponsored BY Three T..
fold Movement.

The inter-religious meeting held un-
der the auspices of the Threefold
Movement at the Washington Hebrew
Congregation, Eighth and H streets,
last night, attracted nearly 500 per-
sons. ..f
Representatives Of every major faith
attended and paid tribute to the
founders Of other great religions. Rabbi
Abrarn Simon presided.
The speakers consisted Of Swami
Yogananda, author, on "Buddha and the
the Chinese department, Library of
Congress, on "Confucius"; Rabbi Edward
l.. Israel OF the Har Sunai Congrega-
ton, on Jesus Christ; Prof. Stanwood
Cobb Of the Bahai Movement, on Mo-
hammed"; DR.. Hugh Stevenson, on
Moses; Nedar Nath Das Guptah, on
THE Threefold Movement; Rev. Jason
Noble Pierce of the First Congregational
Church, on Religious Unity" and DR..
Bhagat, Sing Thind. Sikh teacher of
India, on other founders Of religious
faiths.
In addition to the religious addresses,
there was community singing and the
Hindu chant. Rabbi Simon, as preSid-
the Threefold movement, declared that
only through an understanding of the
various prophets can the peoples of the
world succeed in eliminating religious
and racial prejudices. It was for that
purpose, he declared, that the inter-
religious meeting was held, and that
similar ones would take place In other
cities where the Threefold movement
was represented.
The Threefold movement, which con-
siSts Of the Fellowship of Faiths, the
Union of the East and West and the
League Of Neighbors, was organized to
work for peace and brotherhood through
appreciation and understanding Of all
nations, races and religions.
It has branches in Washington,
Chicago, Baltimore, New York, Boston,
Dublin and London, all of which are
taking part in the Peace week cele-
brations from May IL to May 10. which
are to eliminate with an international
Goodwill day on the latter date, when
mass meetings and other exercises ap-
propriate to peace will be held wher-
ever the threefold movement has
branches.
The celebration of Peace week origi-
mated in New York three years ago,
as an outgrowth of international Good
will day, which was started as re-
suit Of the conference called by the
Gear in 1898, to consider means for
the reduction of ornaments and the
amicable settlement Of international
controversies.

GOV. LONG FACES
COURT OF SENATE
Nine Attorneys Accompany
Him to Answer Impeach-
y ment Charges. 1~
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. ,#.t
BATON ROUGE, La, May 14-Gov.
Huey P. Long today appeared at the
bar Of the State Senate to answer the
impeachment charges of high crimes
and nisdemeanors. He was accom-
panied by nine attorneys.
The governor was expected to offer
as his defense a challenge of the
validity of seven Of the Impeachment
counts. He appeared before the court
after a Statewide speaking tour. in
which he carried before the people his
denunciation Of the Standard OH Co.,
which, he said, was at the bottom of
the impeachment move, and the press
Of the State for fighting his proposed
occupational tax on refiners' oil.
Mr.. Long will contend that each
count except that charging intimidation
of newspaper publisher is invalid on
the ground that they we're recorded
after the special legislative session
called by him ended April s. He will
not contest the legality of the one
charge because 1t was adopted on the
last day Of the session in the House
and was returned to the Senate the
same night before the hour for sine
die adjournment.
The charges facing the governor
today are, briefly:
That he sought to intimidate @. p.
Manship, Baton Rouge newspaper pub
Usher, for opposing his Oil tax; that
he attempted to bride two House mem
bers with jobs and bank fixing; that
he misused State funds, and that he is
generally incompetent to fulfill the
duties CT his ONCE.
Upon adoption Of rules for the trial
the Senate court decided that Mr.. Long
should be permitted to file demurrers
to any and all charges on technical
test, but up until today nothing def
mite has been learned of the form of
the executives defense procedure, but
his friends have indicated that he will
present the illegality plea.
The youthful governors warning
political career, which brought him be-
fore the bar OF the Senate today, has
been colorful.
He fought what he termed the "old
gang. politics Of New Orleans and was
swept into ONCE by a heavy rural vote,
which took into consideration the with
drawal from q run-off primary of Con-
gresham Riley j. Wilson, his nearest
opponent in the gubernatorial race,
His f1rst bitter break was the sever
ance OF relations with Lieut.. Gov. Paul
N. Cyr. chairman of the State board
OF paroons. over the Lebouef- Dreher
hanging case. One of the late out
breaks was a parting of the
ways with Col. Robert Ewing, Demo-
cratic national committeeman.
Then the Legislature, which he called
TO pass the tax on oil, turned against
MIN and remained in session long
enough TO impeach him.

PREPARATIONS ISSUE
is NEARING END.
British and German Experts
Meet With Young to e.
feet Compromise.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, May 14.-The decisive stage
of the reparations experts conference
has now arrived. with the burden OF
the work of finding compromise ap-
parently falling on Sir Josiah Stamp
Of Great Britain, DR.. Hjalmar Schacht,
head of the German delegation, and
owen D. Young.
These three men conferred this
morning. Sir Josiah and DR., Schacht
were to meet again later In the day
to continue work on the German con-
ditions for acceptance Of the proposal
made by Mr.. Young
1t was expected that this will be
completed tonight and that the re-
port may be distributed tomorrow for
consideration in plenary session Of the
experts on Thursday.
End of the experts conference on
reparations, though possibly an unsat-
isfactory end. was in sight. The ex-
perts have grown FESTIVE through de-
lays Of the past few days, and their
mood today did not favor further drag
ging out of the negotiations.
Experts Become Reticent.
The storm of criticism which de-
scended upon them last week from
almost every quarter affected by the
settlement they proposed so impressed
the experts that they have become
reticent. Despite closed mouths, how
ever, the expected procedure OF the
next few days was revealed.
It was regarded as certain. that Dr..
Schacht and Sir Josiah would conclude
a draft OF the report some time today,
to be submitted at a plenary session
tomorrow.
At that plenary session the report,
which some here believe will fail to do
many of the things hoped for originally
from the conference, will be discussed.
When, after debate, it is voted upon it
probably will be dispatched to the gov
ernments concerned, whether that vote
signifies agreement or disagreement.
Such will be the nature of this report,
1t is believed in some circles that an
agreement will be possible without &C
tual coinciding of the various national
will be incorporated into its body, nota-
BILE among these being the German
conditions to acceptance of Mr.. Young's
figures.
The German reservations, which were
understood today to provide for suspen-
sion or postponment of part Of their
annuities under certain adverse eco
nomic conditions and to provide for
another conference at some later date,
have found no favor among the French
and Belgians. A complete lack of &C.
cord when final debate is reached would
be not at all surprising.
