 July contracts eased off from 1882 to 1928 and the new October from 14.7I to i4.73.

Speaking of Sports

An unfortunate choice of a pitcher started the New Britain high school on down grade yesterday afternoon in the game with. Bulke- ley high of Hartford, and, we shouldn't bes surprised if pitcher who might give promise of having the goods, might not be spoiled for. some time to come.
 Bulkeley high was recognized as having one of the strongest teams in high school circles in the state. Right now it is a toss up whether bulkeley or Central high of Bridge port is the better outfit A meet ing between the two might tell the story.
 Yesterdays game was the spot for the strongest offense and defense the local team is capable of. Partyka was the logical choice for the mound duty yesterday. Still. a boy who had never before been under fire, was sent to the slaughter, That he did as we'll as he did, is a mys- tery.
 To us, in the instances we have seen the local high school team play against opponents, the local squad appears to be the equal in ability of any team yet met How ever. the team doesn't play the base ball of which it is capable. Tn yesterdays game, in the sixth Inning with man on second and none out, ZembroUski, rated as one of the best hitters on the team, vas ordered 10 bunt. The sacrifice worked, but at that particular time, one run was hardly better than none at all. The thing then, in our opinion, was not sacrifice, but hit. The next batter hit and the one run came in.
 We have watched the players on the high school team as they came Up through the Rotary league and the American Legion campaigns, and We feel that they are capable of beating either Bulkeley or Bridgeport. However, in. either of these two games. the big guns of the team must be used. The fire department can't expect to stem conf1agration with hand extin- guisher and no more can a baseball coach expect to win baseball games against good teams experimenting with players who haven't yet had their baptism Of fire.
 The Sacred Heart base ball team will play Suffield in Suffi kd Sun day afternoon. Manager Val Gay plans 10 use the same battery as last week with Lougmore pitching The team will practice tomorrow night from to $ o'clock at the Wa.hington diamond.
 Today's witness doesn't augur well for those teams who have scheduled practice sessions

FRENCH AVIATRIX
 PLANS RECORD HOP
80pS tG Make Flight From
 Paris to Tokyo
BY nNOTT SAUNDERS

Paris, May I5-A red d-headed fas- cinatingly-freckled little French girl, who could break hearts without half trying, has decided to break aviation records instead. For flying, accord ing to Mile. Lena Bernstein, is q field pIticularly we'll suited 10 women, although they have only be- gun to win their way in the air lanes.
 Miss Bernstein. who already holds the women's world record for long distance flying, with her nonstop journey last year from Paris 10 Cairo, now. is making a determined challenge for the achievements Of American girl flyers.
 There are at least three records. one of them her own. at which Lena is aiming this year. She al- ready has made several attempts to better the women's endurance rec ord, but each time has encountered storms or motor trouble. In her last attempt she was forced down bltNl iluulH III lIlt IT. but Slr now is overhauling her Farman fmonoplane, and refuses to be dis couraged.
 Some time this May. Lena plans to go after her own distance rec ord with a flight from Paris 10 Tohio. She does not expect 10 do 1t all in one hop, but thc first leg may better the nonstop record She also intends to ,ry for the wom- ems altitude record this spring. To exceed it, she must soar above the 32,0o0foot height reached by Elinor Smith at Roosevelt Field Long Island
 Anyway, it's glorious fun" said Lena, as she powdered her nose with grease e-stained hands. and I'm glad the American girls have given us such notable performances to try to beat.
 T believe flying is an art in which women can equal men. am convinced that we have some thing of the touch and tempera- hleiL WHICH Can overcome our slight physical handicaps
 You sec" she said refectively. 'an airplane is rather feminine itself-more than precise ma chine. It has peculiar impulses and is subject to whims of it's own. Which probably explains why fly ing is so fascinating"
 Lena is 2c, and Of Russian or igin. Her eyes are those of a na- tural flyer, penetrating and attrac- tive. For all her charm, she is exceedingly competent. After spend ing a. day in the air around Le Bour- get Field, she was driven down al night by storm. But next morn ing she was up again for another at tempt at the endurance record Then her motor weakened before she did,
 While women are trying 10 break records among themselves, '" she said, I've ought 10 set our hearts on breaking men's rec ords,' she said.
