been mixed up in q rival league that had tried to wreck the National, and another group stood behind John M. Heydler, who is president now. Neither side would give in and so both looked around for man who would be satisfactory to all. This man was found in the person of Tom Lynch, and the New Britain man served as head of the National league from 1908 to 1912. when for mer Governor John k. Tener oG Pennsylvania succeeded him.
 New Britain has also furnished several players to the major leagues. The most prominent was Billy kopf. who was shortstop Of the Cincinnati Reds for several seasons and dls- tinguished himself when that team won the worlds championship in 1919. Merwin Jacobson played in the Brooklyn outfield one season after starring with Baltimore. More recently. one of the many "Chucky' WoiackS from this city made good with the Chicago White Sox and was taken to Europe on a tour with the team. but a sore arm developed and ruined his chances of staying in the majors, This year "Jocko' Conlon had a try-out with Washington. while Johnny Hayes, Lehigh univer- sity captain, was admitted to be of big league Caliber and was sought by several teams. only to turn down all offers. Then there was Armando i Marsans, the Cuban who used to play on the New Britain team in the Connecticut league, While not a ] native of the city, his exploits here made him known to everybody aud his career in and out of the maJors was watched by all New Britain fans.

 In making "Noah's Ark" Warner Bros. have used Vitaphone most Effectively. There are some pas ages of speech and symphonic ac- Iompaniment but the most tremen- ious role played by Vitaphone is in he effects during the Flood, and he scenes preceding it.

National league.
 Hartford was in the National league for two years-1S7G and 1877 and finished in third place both times. It lost out to Chicago and St. Louis the first year and to Boston and Louisville the second. Under Bob Ferguson it made good show ings each year, winning 43 out of st games in 1876 and 31 out of 5S the next. The Athletics, the Mutuals and Cincinnati made up the balance of the league in 1S76,. with the hrst two being dropped in 1871
 First Catcher With Glove
 Hartford's star pitchers in 1876 was Tommy Bond, one of the first pitchers to throw curve ball, while his battery mate was D. Allison, who had been the originator of tho sensation in Cincinnati in 1869 when he appeared with glove on his left hand, and though he was sub jected to much sarcasm for it, the other catchers soon followed his eX- ample, and now gloves are used in every position.
 The Hartford infeld was com l posed Of F. Mills at first. J. J. Bur dock, at second. Thomas J Carey at short, and Ferguson himself on third, In the outfield were Thomas York, J. J. Remsen, and R.

M|DDLETOWN ONCE
 GLEAGUE TOWN
Had Team in National ASSOCia-
 tiOn in Year 1872

How many baseball fans are there when Middletown, Conn, had a team in a big league? Many know that Hartford was once represented in the National league, but few if any know that New Haven was ahead of it in this respect and that Middle town led them both. Middlstown had q team in the National Assocla- tion of Baseball Players, the first organized "bfg league" way back in 1872
 This nine, the Manifold team, was entered in the league during the The National association had all che faults of a pioneer and was ridden with corruption, bribery and dis honest playing being rampant and open betting and pool room manipu- lation of the teams the ordinary during it's five-year career it had a membership which varied from eight to 13 teams. In 1871 the original Philadelphia Athletics won the pen. nant, while the Boston team cleaned up every other year, winning Tn 1876 with If victories and eight d. feats for the record average of .902
 In 1872 Middletown had 10 op- ponents Boston, the Athletics, Baltimore, the Brooklyn Mutuals, the Troy Haymakers, the Forest City nine of Cleveland, the Brooklyn At lantics, the Brooklyn Eckfords, the Washington Olympics, and the Washington Nationals. The two Washington teams finished in the rear, the Nationals withdrawing after losing their first H. games. Middletown's record was not very inspiring, the team winning only five games and losing 19 to finish in eighth place. It was the Middl ascX county city's only year in the "big show"
 Hartford Bids For Pennant
 Two years later Hartford made it's appearance in the league and ended up seventh out of eight teams, having r victories and 37 defeats. The following season Hartford made a great bid for the pennant and won 55 out of S4 games, but that was the year Boston set it's record and Hartford had to be content with second position. which it won by nosing> out the Philadelphia Athie- ties by half a game.
 New Haven was in the league that year, too, but made a sorry showing. It won only seven out of is games and wound up in 10th position 1ut of IS. That season the non-C on- necticut entries were Boston the Athletics, St Louis. the Philadelphia club of Philadelphia, the Boookly;l Mutuals, Chicago, the St. Louis Re l Stockings, Washington, the Phiia- delphia Centennials, the Brooklyn Atlantics, and the Westerns iron! keokuk, Iowa.
 To end the domination of the gamblers, a new league was i preached at d meeting in Louisville in January. 1876. and a month late; a second meeting was held in New | York city at the Broadway Central hotel.

Don't Dump Your Old
Clothes; Wear Them to
/. L. D. Revel Saturday

Have you any old clothes, gara
ments of an ancient vintage that
you are thinking of throwing away?
Save them. Because the older and
shabbier they are, the more honored
a place they will be accorded at
the annual Proletarian Autumn
Revel of the New York District of
the International Labor Defense, to
be held this Saturday night at Web
ster Hall, 119 E. 18th st.
Suits and dresses of pre-war days
are expected to blossom forth again
at what promises to be the biggest
Autumn Revel the LID. has ever
held. A committee of distinguished
proletarian judges will choose those
outfits that seem to be most ready
for the junk heap and award hand
some prizes. The evening will be
enlivened by the dance music of
John c. Smiths Negro Syncopators,
who will play as long as anybody
is able to stand on his or her feet.
In addition to its entertaining
side, the LID Revel will also have
a serious purpose: all the proceeds
will go for the defense of the Gas
tonia and other. class war prisoners.
Tickets should be bought at once at
the office of the New York LID,
799 Broadway, Room 422. They will
cost more at the door.

union secretary. During the last
window cleaners strike two years
ago he spent 20 days in Jail for
picketing.
The exact cause of the accident is
not known, Feinstein said, but such
accidents are common in the window
cleaning trade and are mainly due
to the unsatisfactory safety devices
provided by the employers. Twas
kiw's fall may have been due to the
fact that the hooks on the building
to which the safety belt is attached
were not of the standard make Fem

To remedy conditions responsible
for such accidents the Window

cleaners of Greater New York and
