DIAMOND SCHEDULE
 FOR H. 5. HELD UP
School Board Wants More Games
 Played at Home

There's something radically wrong With the system at the Senior High school when 27 athletic letters are given to basketball players who took part in only nine games" de- clared School Committeeman Will liam H. Day at a meeting of the school board yesterday afternoon.
 The matter came to the attention of the board during a discussion as to what stand the board should take on the proposed baseball schedule which included 10 games, nine out of town. After short discussion it was voted to return the schedule with a request that Superintendent s. H. Holmes and Principal l.. F. Slade make changes which would assure the New Britain public of more home games.
 MT. Day resented the fact that some of the boys on the squad are obliged to work in all the games during the season to receive only the same honor as the substitutes who probably do not get in any contests.
 He asked why more than nine games could not be scheduled. When the point was brought out that possibly the lack Of attendance might have been the reason, MT. Holmes was asked his opinion. He was not able to enlighten the board on the subject and on notion of Mir. Day the matter was left with Mr. Holmes to investigate and report at the next meeting.
 In letter proposing the baseball schedule Mir. Slade explained that only one game was scheduled be- cause the lack of an enclosed field has made it impossible for the school to break even financially in its home games
 One of the board asked why the receipts of the football season were not sufficient to carry deficits Of the baseball season and another made the statement that the pupils would not be able to see the games under this system.
 Superintendent Holmes admitted that he was not acquainted with the situation but expressed his opinion that the matter should be investi- gated. Mir. Holmes was given power to make changes.
 Four new teachers were appoint ed. as follows: Alice Magwood English, Central Junior High school: Bernice F.. Mason. English Central Junior High school: Rhoda c. Reilly English, Nathan Hale Junior High school: Irene Fitzsimmons, art Benjamin Franklin school.
 Recommendations and reports, as outlined in yesterdays Herald, were accepted.
 In the absence of Chairman P. F. King, Committeeman Joseph M. Hal loran was elected temporary chair man.
 Although the Senior High school addition is scheduled to be complet- cd by February 1 of next year, Chairman Halloran, in answer to a

lOl POINTS MADE
 BY ELMER SWANSON
Swedish ForVard Leads Inter.
 ChunCh League Scorers

Maintaining the lead which he held during most of the season. Elmer Swanson. blond forward of the First Lutherans. won the individual SCOT ing title in the Inter-Church Bas- ketball league. scoring 101 points. according to officials figures released today. This total was 10 points better than that of Arnold Reckert. St. Matthew's German Lutheran forward. who pressed Swanson all during the schedule and at times even took the lead away from him.
 Wilton Mercy. forward on the South Congregational church team, finished in third place although he participated in but seven games, and his average of points per game was the highest of any player in the league.
 Swanson's 42 field goals were the most made by any player in the church circuit, Mercy being the run ner-up in this respect with 3s. Reck- ert won honors in foul-shooting. putting in 21 out of 34 tries and finishing with four more successful free tries than Swanson.
 Swanson and Reckert apparently were determined not to be left out of the list of leaders in any depart ment of play. for they also tied for second place in the committing of personal fouls. Fred Ritner of the Stanley Memorial team won the 'honors" in this field, making 24 personals in nine games. but the two rivals were only one behind him.
 The South church entry won the team scoring honors. making 290 points and nosing out the champion First Lutherans by five points. The Congregationalists led in field goals with 124 but were forced to bow to the St. Matts in foul-shooting, the Germans putting in 49 free tries. The champion First Lutherans com- mitted the most personal fouls, S2, while the St Marks Episcopal quintet barely nosed out the South church for the honor of making the fewest of the teams which finished the schedule.
 SwansOn's Great Performance
 The performance of Elmer Swan son was remarkable and had ma- jor share in bringing the title to the Swedes. While he made l0l points. no other player on his team was able to score more than 35, this wide gap showing the way in which the Lutherans relied upon him and the manner in whicl he justified their faith. The South church play CTS divided their points much more evenly and actually had their whole five starting players among the 15 leading scorers.
 These 15 finished as follows: Swanson. First Lutheran, 101: Reckert, NSt. Matts, 91; Mercy. South. S9: Rockwell. South. SC; w. Stohl. Stanley Memorial. 59; w. Preisser, St Matts. 55; klopp. St. Matts, 52: Bell. South, 50; Greenhalgh. St. Marks, 45; Ritter. Stanley Memor- ial, 4: Anderson, First Lutheran. 35; Nyborg. First Lutheran. 32; A. Middleton.

Jack Johnson. who once wore the pion of the world. was the exposure of all eyes as he refereed the semi final bout at the amateur tourna- Went, at the Stanley Arena last ! night.
 He caused some comedy when he broke the fighters in the clinches. A little more of a shove on one or two occasions and Johnson woul have thrown both fighters out of the ring.
 A. surprising thing about the for mer champion was the slender pair of legs he possesses. As he told last night. he weighs 265 pounds at the present time and in his fighting days he weighed well over 200. How a pair of legs like he has cound carry him through his battles is the thing that surprises everyone.
 When called on for a speech. Johnson did a neat turn in the cen ter of the ring, urging support for boxing as the greatest developer of manhood in the country.

PAUL MUM In
PERSON AT

Washington has had two Of
the Fox stars, Victor McLaglen
and Charles Farrell, appear in
person at the local Fox Theater.
These appearances, however,
might have been termed as fly
ing affairs with but a single,
as in the case of McLaglen, or
two appearances, as with Mr..
Farrell. Now, though, comes
the Fox with a real engagement
covering the usually allotted
period Of such engagements in
Washington and announces the
coming Of Paul MUM in con-
junction with the showing of
this dramatic stars newest all
talking picture, Seven Faces"

standing recent screen features
of the Fox. It resulted in the
star signing a long-term con-
tract with Fox. Back of this
contract is the plan to develop
Mum to a point in the films
as a character actor equal to
that occupied by the artist in
the Jewish theater.
In Seven Faces" the star
portrays seven distinct charac-
tiers. A record for both stage
and screen. The picture has
been shown at the Roxy, New
York. where it was accorded
unstinted praise. Philadelphia,
too. has commended it.
MUM will appear both after
noon and night at the Fox.

away from his home in Phila-
delphia and got his first job
in a beer garden in Atlantic
City. His salary was then Sc

beer garden, was to go in
swimming and cry for help.
Then two actors would rush to
his aid, carrying him back TO

the enchanting horror Of its
story, the mystery CT its un-
folding and the suspense Of its

American promoter with FRITZ

sists that the Henry Blossom

and this he proves nightly
when he describes an American

nishes the ocean, while you
supply the ships"
This quip made Roosevelt
roar upon the night Of the pre-
miere in 1905, and it makes
others roar today.
