CENTRAL QU|NT
IN PENN MEET

1t might be better newspaper
copy to say that Central, along
with Tech and Western High
Schools, will enter the 1880 Penn
tournament.
Central is definitely an entry.
Although the news has not been
given out Bert CogginS' team mas
been entered.
Special provision was needed
to get Central in. Applying after
the dead-line the Blue and
Whites entrance, due to special
arrangement, was okayed.
Past performances of tn e
Centralites. it is said, figured in
this compromise.
Western received It's stamp of
approval several days ago. Sd
did Tech.
That Central will fall into line
is a settled fact. The Blue and
White in taking it's time should
be deducted from results.

TR|OCAN CD
ON MIAMI
TRIP

There seems to be something IN
the weather here Of late that Il
suggestive Of Miami and Florida.
That summary Thursday we had
yesterday seemed to inspire an
added demand for the few re-
naming Times-Miami fight tours
leaving Washington Sunday night
and this morning there were but
three of the additional ringside
seats which go with the trip, re-
naming at the Seaboar6 Air Line
ticket office from which point the
trip Is being handled.
The original allotment Of 100
ringSide and hotel reservations
did not quite meet the local de
mand for this attractive Florida
tour sponsored by the sporting
department Of this newspaper.
and day before yesterday General
Manager Frank j. Bruen tele-
graphed he would hold ten more
seats in the original location
allotted The Times, until Sunday
at midnight, the hour The Times

At that time he is to be tele

There was no possible way Of
anticipating very definitely orlgi-
nally just how popular this tour
would be, and so a nominal num-
Der OF 100 trips were arranged
That the tour has gone over
this mark is gratifying and is
a splendid reflection on the cali
Der OF sportsmen residing in
Washington who have taken this
opportunity to get especially good

Urge Early Veto

Washington, June 25 (UP)- House republican leaders today in- vited President Hoover to veto the disabled World war veterans com- pensation bill. which they intend to pass before night, to make way for passage at once of a new pension bill.
 Speaker Longworth has promised the president 154 republican votes to sustain his objections to the measure which the senate passed only two days ago by a vote Of 66 to 6.
 Longworth won the support of his bloc in a party caucus which broke up shortly before midnight last night after bitter speeches had been made by both opponents and advo- cates Of the presidents position. During the dsoate every ex-service- man who spoke supported the Longworth plan.
 The bloc is not big enough to stop the pending bill so 1t probably will be passed and sent to the White House for a certain veto in the same form in which it was received from the senate. Along with 1t will go, however, the .lnequivocal assurance that the bloc will prevent passage of the measure over the veto. This

RUN0RS PERSIST
 POPE PLUS SICK
Denials Discounted as Reports Leak Out Of Vatican
FACTS HARD TO CHECK
Uremic Poisoning Alleged to Have Followed Bladder Trouble.- Of- ficials Point to Evidences of Vtgor He Displays.

Vatican City June 25 lp - Re- ports still persisted today that Pope Plus is indisposed, despite a denial by authorized officials that he is suffering from a urenic crisis
 It was learned that several Ro- man doctors have been consulted re- gently concerning the pontiffs ag- gravated bladder trouble and that the possibility Of an operation has been discussed.
 No Papal Physician
 IL is most difficult to ascertain the exact nature of the pope's reported malady since Plus XI, unlike his predecessors, has not appointed an 'archiater" or papal physician. The result is that whenever the pontiff feels the need of medical advice, Dr. Milani director of public health ser vices of Vatican city state, is called in. He in no wise is the pope's per sonal physician and is not in daily contact with him and his calls on his patient are extremely intermittent.
 Vatican spokesuen, in support Of their denial that there is anything grave in the pope's condition, point ed to the energetic fashion in which he conducts audiences of large groups - the qulCkness of his step as he circles around the big halls. the vigor and clarity of his speeches to Pilgrims and above all his unfail- ing joviality.
 Refuses to Use Elevator
 The spokesmen further said that last Sunday he refused to take the elevator from his private apartment to descend to St. Peters for a. can onization service, insisting on walk ing down the long staircase before mounting the "sedia gestatoria' or portable throne.
 However. those close to him dur ing the ceremony noted that several times he passed his hand in front Of his mouth as though slightly dis tressed and 1t was obvious to all those in the front ranks of the great congregation that he was persplrlng profusely Otherwise his flrmness of step and resonance of voice was re- marked by everyone.
 Among those inclined to take the vatican denial as diplomatic in character, destined to quell appre- hension, 1t Yas stated that yester- days audiences ended suddenly at D. m. an unusually early hour. No explanation for the sudden ending was given. Normally the pope re- ceives right up to p. m, when he dimes.

Maple Hill Considers Joining Hartford Zone But May Affiliate With New Britain if Local Area is Created By General Assembly.
Other Places to Be h. cluded in Recommenda- ton to Charter Revision Committee Are Kensing- ton, Berlin and Elm Hill Legislature Must Act.

Although Mayor George A. Quig- ley plans to recommend to the charter revision committee that a New Britain metropolitan district be established next year, a resolution that the Maple Hill fire district be- come part of the Hartford metro- politan district with the under |standing that it reserve the right to join the New Britain district later, will be introduced Monday evening
 at a special meeting at the Elm Hill school house in Newington. At a recent meeting of the repre- sentatives of all the fire districts in Newington it was voted to make this recommendation.
 Joining with the Hartford metro politan district was the subject of consideration by the Maple Hill fire district for some time, and at one time it appeared as though that dis trict would not join with the other districts.
 At the meeting next Monday eve hing Chairman Harry H. Howard will point out that affiliating with the Hartford metropolitan district at this time will not prevent the Maple Hill section from becoming a. part of the New Britain metropolitan dis trict eventually.
 Quigley Plans Discussing the situation today, Mayor Quigley said: When we have

 have this done at the next session of the legislature"

 the matter with MT. Howard and the
