 New Britain, with one win and on defeat. has shot q otal of 3.4US or fl points behind Middle Had dam. This will call for some fine shooting on Thursday night when the local team meets Middlefcld at tho local state armory.
 While New Britain and Middlcficld are battling it out at the armory on Thursda. night, Pennington will be shooting 'lgainst Middle Haddam at Pennington. The team from the next town has lost two matches, and will probably lose on Thursday un- less the Pennington riiemen take q very decided brace in markfnanship.

 Manager Bill Clancy is figuring various combinations for the local team. He would like to get St. Aubn here to rush with Williams. That would make a star pair of ruShers. This, however, might not go so well with the other league managers. Boucher might be a good number for the position of center. These, however. are only ideas and not de- cided upon.
 The positions of second rush. cen ter and goal tender have to be filled before the team can take the floor. Manager Clancy declares that there will be regular practice periods for the team this year and the players will all be required to attend the workouts regularly.
 Another task confronting Manager Clancy is the organization of league to play preliminary games. This is quite job.

Set New Record
Mercury Maintains Lofty
Average as City's Shade
Trees Are Parched.

With temperatures for the first three
weeks at record-breaking levels, this
month bids fair to be the hottest Sep
TENDER in the history of the local
Weather Bureau.
The average so far has been some 8
degrees above normal, and the prospect
is for continuation of the heat. An
uncomfortable 90 was established here
yesterday afternoon, and 1t probably
will get as hot later today.
This mornings forecast was gen
eral fair and continued warm tonight
and tomorrow" The minimum at 6
o'clock this morning was 50 degrees
and the mercury rose to IS shortly be-
fore noon.
Weather officials said, while tempera-
lures In the past have gone higher at
this season. they have not been sus-
tanned from week to week, as has been
the case this month. The temperature
average for normal September Is SO,
or 8 degrees under the present figure.
The Weather Bureau pointed out that
the continued drought and the heat
are working serious damage to the curb
shadetrees Of the city, many of which
are already shedding their leaves. In
some sections whole rows of trees are
parched and brown.

Accounting Made.

The bond holders protective commit
tee Of the F. H Smith Co. filed suit in

ing q receiver for the Fairfax Apart
mentS and for an accounting and in

Security 81 Trust Co., the F. H. Smith
Co., Charles H Wiltsie of Cleveland,

Incumbered for $8S5,0O0.
In asking the court to appoint re-
ceiver for the apartment house, the
petitioners allege that the property is
incumbered to the extent of $685. 900.
and that 1t has been advertised as
worth million dollars, although a fair
appraisal of the property would Ak its
value at not more than $685., 800. 1t is
alleged that mortgages were placed on
the property, not in good faith, but for
the purpose of permitting the defend
ants participating therein to make a
profit over and above the cost of the
property so mortgaged.
1t Is alleged that bonds were sold

real estate concerned, wherein it was
represented that property was worth
more than $1,0OO,O 900, although the de-
PENDANTS well knew that the representa-

property was offered for sale, but that

fictitious and really represents the con-

.MANCHUS CONTROL
ONCE MORE
Return of NorthernerS to Old
Chinese Capital Peaceful
as Rebels Retreat.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, September 23.-Rengo dis
patches from Peiping today said the
ancient Chinese capital was in full
possession of Manchurian troops.
Trainload after trainload of Mukden-
tie units were brought within the walls
of the old capital It was learned q
portion of these forces will be dis
patched northwestward along the Piep-
ing-Suiyuan Railway as far as Kalgan
and others down the Peiping- Hankow
Railway as far as Paotingfu.
Suspicion was strong that Chang
Hsueh-Liang. 80 years old, dictator of
Manchuria, would attempt to set up his
own government in Peiping. as his
father. Chang Tso-Lin, often did in
descents from his capital at Mukden.
Strikes at Crucial Time.
Chang struck when northern rebel
and Nationalist government troops were
exhausted by six months of internecine
warfare and unable to make marked
gains. Although claimed by the Ma
tionalists as their ally since May, he had
remained aloof until the time came to
become the deciding factor.
For the present the civil war appears
ended Gems. Yen Hsi-Shan and Feng
Yu-Hsiang, leaders of the NorthernerS,
are heading their armies from Pieping
toward Taiyuan, the Shansi province
capital of Gov. Yen.
Many students of China affairs pre-
dicted Yen and Feng would encamp in
Shansi Mountains, gathering strength
for another onslaught upon the govern
ment. If they did this they would be
repeating their action of last December,
when they withdrew their armies from
Honan after exacting heavy tribute from
the Marking government.
Rewards Are Hinted.
Reports were current Chang Hsueh-
LANG had received Chill Province, In
Guiding Peiping and Tientsin, and
100000 from the Nationalist as
reward for his intervention.
Other reports were Chang would act
independently and attempt to extend
his rule from Manchuria south to the
Yellow River Although believed to
entertain this belief, Nationalist oficials
acclaimed Changes occupation of Peip-
ing as a triumph for the Central gov
eminent.
One concrete fact stood out: One
trainload of the 5000 Manchurian SOL
oilers had entered Peiping, while other
trains were nearing the old capital,
having passed Langfang and were less
than so miles from their goal
Peiping civilians, accustomed to
change of war lords, hastened to declare
loyalty to the new ruler and conditions
were peaceful. Even the Northern rebel
leaders, Fastening to safety, stated their
intention Of maintaining friendly rela-
tons with the Manchurian, but, they
said, they were steadfast in their inten-
ton to overthrow the Nationalist
regime.
