FRENCH-DIAMOND PIN GO FEATURES
 INDUSTRIAL LOOP

Several good games are listed un- der the heading of the Industrial league tonight but the chief inter- est centers on the outcome of the French Manufacturing and Diamond Ginger Ale game. The former team is a part owner of second place sharing the distinction with the American Brass and the Connecticut Co and any slip ups from now on may easily put either team down to fifth place. Wordens, now in fifth place, meet the Plume and Atwood club who rate three games behind their opponents but who will never the-less make it interesting for the Dairymen tonight. American Brass have a workout with Fred Mercer's Pets and the Trolleymen minus Red Roche will have the Oakville Pin for company. The leaders, Waterbury Clock, with seven games in the lead will practically have to lose all their games during the coming three meet the Patent Button with more or less confidence.
 TO-night's Schedule.
 Alleys 1-2-Plume and Atwood vs Wordens Dairy.
 Alleys 3-4-Diamond Ginger Ale vs French Manufacturing.
 Alleys 5-6-Patent Button vs Wa terbury Clock.
 Alleys 7-8-American Brass vs Mercers Pets.
 Alleys 9-1O-Connecticut Co vs Oakville.

So much so, that the hoop mentors from Winsted, Torirngton, Hartford Bridgeport, Ansonia, New Haven. Waterbury and other cities affiliated with the Naugatuck Valley league are quie ready to present a united front to the principals organization, specifically requesting that the New port tournament be officially recog- nized in Connecticut and high school teams from the state be allowed to participate in 1t. It is quite likely, in view of the action of the Con- necticut Conference recently in the mild reprimand given Bridgeport Central, that the coaches will con- vince the principals that the tour nament, which is sponsored by Tufts college and other organizations, is { absolutely O. K. and there is no commercial stigma attached to it, such as had been hinted during the past few weeks.
 Excellent Reports.
 The report of Coach Eddie Reilly and Principal James c. Moore of Bridgeport Central relative to the excellent manner in which the tournament was conducted and the fine treatment the boys received brought the Connecticut coaches to the conclusion that the principals body had a very wrong opinion of what was what. Formal request for Connecticut Conference recognition of the New England Newport tour nament is expected toaS be made shortly, and if favorable action is not received, one Asor two more schools may bolt the party" just as Central did,. The latter school still retains its Membership in both the Naugatuck Valley league and Con- necticut Conference.

AKRON TURNS HOME
FROM MIDDLE WEST
Dirigible on Way to Ohio After
Tour of Five Large Cities; Pro-
baton Period Near End.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 17.-America's
new mistress Of the skies, the Akron,
rode the breeze toward her home port
late today, her hours Of probation almost
at an end.
The great airship glided over Chicago
at 1:35 pm, its second visit of the day,
and then moved out across the southern
reaches of Lake Michigan pointed for
her dock at Akron, Ohio.
The round of calls upon neighbor
cities Of the Middle West gave the
Akron the final tests required to prove
herself worthy Of her destined place in
the U. S. Navy. Cincinnati, Louisville,
st. Louis, Chicago and Milwaukee were
her ports Of call.
A crisp, sparkling day gave the lake
side cities thrilling view of the ship.
Spanning Illinois from St. Louis by
night, the Akron reached Chicago as the
city was beginning its working day and,
following the shore of the lake, leisurely
moved northward past the Great Lakes
Naval Station to Milwaukee.
After a noontime call at the Wiscon-
sin port, the dirigible turned about and
sailed with northerly wind for Chicago
again. The 80 miles were negotiated In
just an hour.
