High Flying Naval Lieutenant to
 Attempt to Recapture His Record

Washington, Jan. 1S Pl-The nayys high flying lieutenant, Apollo Soucek, with new hand made. hand-operated auxiliary lung to help him breathe when he spirals upward more than 10000 feet above the earth, is all ready for an at tempt to recapture the worlds alti- tude record.
 He said today he might start on a record hop the first good da% that comes"
 He will use the same Wright Apache that he flew 59,140 feet high for the worlds land record last Maya month before he trans formed the Apache into seaplane and broke the record for that type of craft.
 It Is this plane he has equipped with the breathing apparatus which he designed when he realized he had to have some way Of getting oxygen into his lungs up where the air pressure is so low that, without mechanical assistance, he would. %illy-nllly, exhGle constantly with out ever being able 10 inhale. He thinks Il is all he needs to exceed the mark. 4l,4S0 feet. that the Ger man, Willie Newhofen, reached last summer.
 Lieut.. Souceli hopes to do bet ter than 42,Q00 feet" Then, he said witit a smile. someone else will come along and do bette-, and we will have to try again."
 And that. in the philosophy Of the young, dark-haired. dark eyed lieu tenant, is the beauty of it."

PROSPECTIVE BOND
 ISSUES DIVERTlNG
New Offerings Turn Interest From Shares Already Listed

New York, Jan. l3 P'-Formal offering Of two large bond issues and the imminence Of other sizea be new financing diverted attention from listed securities today and quotations made slender changes in dull trading. Many of the high grade rails eased on the light de- mand. but United States govern ments held firm in the early hours on the appearance of slightly more favorable time money rates.
 A heavy subscription was reported for the sl50,o00,000 issue Of American Telephone S5-year 3 per cent debentures and the books were closed almost immediately after the opening. The bonds, ol- fered at 99 1-e. were admitted to trading on the New York stock ex- change, and sold up 10 100 7-S be- fore noon.
 lnasmuch as the obligations had been quoted at point above the Of tering price prior to the official an- nouncement Of the loan. observers were inclined to attribute a part of the brisk demand to speculative in quiry. Dealings on a when issued basis were large

CITY GOLF COURSE
 WILL BE ENLARGED
Highway Dept. Agrees to Re- locate Shortcut to Hartford

plot of ground containing about -Go'uoo square feet of space will be added to the mrplicipal golf course following an agreement made by Highway Commissioner John A. Mac donald and Pardon C. Rickey. pres ident of the Chamber of Commerce. today.
 MT. Hickey, who also is chairman or the joint committee of the Cham Der of Commerce and the park con- mlsslon, called upon Mr. Macdonald saturday to recommend the shifting of the location of the proposed new road. making a short cut to Hart ford by way of Hillcrcst avenue.
 The recommendation made by Mir. Hickey was the unanimous proposal or the Chamber and the park con- mlSsloners. as well as the other city officials, and involves a change of plans only insofar as the road crosses park property. IL means that the road will intersect the present Hartford road at a point farther west and that the intersection will strengthen out a proposed curve at the point of intersection.
 This will add to the proposed golf course plot of ground 1900 feet long and POO feet wide, which ac- cording to Mr. Hickey will change the golf course from one of threat ened nediocrity to an ideal one.
 k. J. Ross of Hartford, architect, today staked out the plot and plans for the proposed course are going so well, according to Mir. Rickey. that bids for the construction of the course may be asked next week.

n YEw YORK, April 17.-Burt
mi Shotton thinks he has one
Y player on his team, not on the
pay roll, but destined to play
an important part in the seasons cam
paign. Kid Psychology Is the extra
man for the Phillies.
winning that first game from Brook
Ign, to 0, will do US lot Of good, ="
said Manager Shotton. "The psychol-
ogy of that is great. 1t will be worth
much more to us than If we had won,
10 to 8, or some such score.
"Why, here we are sized up by every
body as team Of sluggers with no
ing made the experts said, The Phillies
would be dangerous II they had some
pitchers
and then we step out the opening
day and show the best pitching per-
Torrance in either league, and mind
you, it's game where we have to have
almost perfect pitching to win.
while we hit Clark harder than
Brooklyn hit Sweetland, we didn't do
what you would call hard hitting all
afternoon, but we did score that one
run we needed to win the game when
we punched a couple Of hits.
eff that doesn't put psychology on
our side, why not? Brooklyn can hit,
too, which makes 1t all the more re-
markable Q performance by our pitcher,
Sweetland.
II guess that game was the big sur
prise OF the opening. Some folks
thought, I have no doubt, that we would
be out there all the afternoon trying to
get each other out, and we crossed
everybody by putting on a pitchers
battle with some of the greatest field
ing ever produced in any one game.
That's base ball."
Shotton thinks he may enjoy the
last laugh on his friends, who have
sympathized with him because he has
no pitchers. "I think the weakness of
our pitching staff is very much exag-
gerated," he said. I'VE have already
demonstrated under fire that we have
one pitcher, and In the games to come
we will show some more"
