- - AA . - . of Sports There is a movement on foot in New Britain among the little baa1 of men who work as umpires at baseball games in this city to or ganize an association which will be similar in q great many respects 10 the board of basketball officials. It will, it is understood, be New Britain affair entirely.

 Nothing spoils a good baseball game as quickly as poor officiating. This is true ln any line of sport, whether it be basketball. football D. almost any sort of a game.
 If the thing progressed fac enough, the association would t. iron bound with memberships be- ing issued each year and tests be- ing made to lind out if candidates would be eligible from their knowl edge of the game, to work as aa official.
 Whether the matter will ever be brought to head or not remains to be seen. but many of those inter ested in the project are in favor of calling a meeting of umpires at any time to discuss the project and the possibility of having board of unl- pires in this city.
 Merwin Jacobson, former New Britain boy, and now a resident of Baltimore, is a holdout from the Newark club of the International League. He doesn't expect to play baseball this season, he stated yes terday because he will not sign any contract until his terms are met.
 He was speaking to a number 1i friend. yesterday and in the course Of the conversation, he stated that he understood that Billy kopf, foc- ncr major league stars, also na- tive of New Britain, was managing a high class semi-pro baseball nine ir Chicago.
 Jacobson plans to do the sam; thing this year in Baltimore if II. doesn't succeed in landing a bert on any of the International League clubs.
 He left for home yesterday an: on the way down to Baltimore, h. planned on stopping off to talk wit the officials of the Newark cluo He wasn't very optimistic over tht outcome of the conference.
 The Burritt baseball team of las year will hold a special meeting Friday evening, April II, at 7:St o'clock at Falcon hall. All member of the team and others who are in tercsted are requested 10 be present
 An important discussion will tak' place relative to the flnancia standing of 1929 and also reorgani zation of a team for 1880 will b' talked over. Many other matters wil be taken under consideration.
 This activity among baseball clubs promises plenty of activity ol the baseball diamond during tn coming summer months. With tn weather giving off rather sprinj air today it is very likely that 10 cal players will soon be out on tn old ball lot limberinG up stiff mus clcs.

BURON FITS DEBAUCH!

California voters, on August 26, will
undoubtedly write the closing chapter IN
the political career of Buron t1tts.
His overwhelming defeat seems almost
as certain as it is deserved. And that
speaks we'll for the intelligence OF the ell
ectorate.
If ever candidate has INDUCED III
yeritable campaign debauch that candld'
ate. we believe, is Buron Fits.
Flagrant abuse, utter disregard for the
truth, trickery, deceit, shyster polltlcs
of the worst kind-such is the record that
Fits has to blame for his defeat.
The tragedy of Buron Fits, to US, lies
not alone in what he is, but IN what ne
might have been, if he had been halt
way temperate in his actions and his de-
mands.
A year ago, even six months ago, this
ambitious youth had the respect and ad-
miration of thousands of honest intelllg-
ent citizens throughout California.
Today he has their wholehearted con-
tempt, or worse-their pity.
What has brought this revulslon OF
public sentiment?
First, in our opinion, was the repre-
hensible attempt of Fits to bemirch the
the good name of Governor c. c. Young
by his totally false charges that Young
was involved in the rotten Julian mess.
Men may differ as to Governor 4oungs
ability. but no one who knows him will
question his honesty, and Buron Fits
charges naturally proved boomerang.
Hardly had the Julian fiasco blown
over when Fits, impelled by his over
powering lust for power, was at 1t again
this time with his trick OF inducing
Milton X. Young to file as Republican
candidate for Governor in an attempt to
confuse Governor Young's supporters.
That blow below the belt. without any
other, was enough to arouse every honest
voter against him, but Fits was not sat
isfied
The next spectacle in the Fits de-
bauch came when he began the broadcast
of fraudulent tax returns, desperately
attempting to undermine Governor
Young by charges that big corporations
We're escaping taxation.
For that, he was promptly called liar,
with proof attached and without any
qualification.
There seem to be no limits to Mr.. Fits
Incorporate campaign. Now, with other
issues blasted, he has fallen back on the
selfish and dangerous cry of sectional
lsnl-seeking to win the votes Of the
southland by tanning sectional bitter
ness. In that, Buron Fits is disloyal to
his state, but fortunately Southern Cal
ifornia is bigger than Mr. Fits and
southern people, for the most part, will

her husband.
"Why. II try to find one, an

Tootsie and Wootsie. How would
that be? A special little bath tub
all for themselves. F"
"Oh, ATS ice" lisped Tootsie,
meaning it was nice.

d" Yes, II make you bath tub

Jane. If you dig hole in the
sand and fill it with water it runs

The bath will be dry

to make." said Mr.. Longears laugh
ing.
He hoped down the beach until
he found clam shell as large as
4 wash tub. TO this big shell the
rabbit gentleman tied a long rope
made of sea weed twisted together
and then, with the help of his wife
and Nurse Jane, he hauled the sheIl
up the sand out Of reach of even the
highest of the big waves. Digging
with his paws, Uncle Wiggily made

ATTENTION TO DIARIES

Action of Mayor Clark of San Diego
IN vetoing the proposed city ordinance
which would have practically barred I'M
perial Valley milk and cream from the
coast city, is pleasing news to local dairy
men.
The ordinance contained clause pro-
viding that milk and cream must be de-
livered in San Diego not more than four
hours after being produced Valley
dairymen protested to the city COUNCIL,
pointing out that the short time was pro-
hibitive and that it would be impossible
to meet. Disregarding the protest the
council passed the ordinance.
Mayor Clark vetoed the ordinance be-
cause of the presence of this clause. In
so doing he showed his unwillingness to
place a ban on Imperial Valley products,
which was what some of the milk inter-
ests in the coast city wanted, in order to
remove competition.
Other provisions of the proposed or
dinance contained much that Imperial
Valley dairymen should give prompt at
tention. They call for improving herds
and greater care in handling milk and
cream. Leading dairymen of the valley
admit that there is room for improve
ment in both conditions

there will be no need or chance for dis
eliminating ordinances at marketing
