NEW BALL is SIZED UP
Will Aid Some Hurlers, Hurt Poor
Batters, Says Pennock.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March 10
P).-Herb Pennock, veteran left-hand-
er of the New York Yankees, believes
the new ball will help veteran pitchers
with control and hurt mediocre bats
men.
On the other hand, pitchers who are
not sc. strong on control will have plenty
of trouble with the ball, Pennock thinks,
while great batsmen like Babe Ruth
and Al Simmons will continue to hit
it far and often.
Pennock didn't mention himself, but
he named a few veteran curve bali
pitchers who he thought would benefit,
listing among others George Uhle and
Earl Whitehill.

Bashful Biloxi Boy With Reputation as Hurler

He voiced the fear other players

show up the next day and work out
in a regular base ball suit, but was
assured all the trinity uniformed
athletes on the field had been bush

According to his sponsor the
youth pitched in sensational style in

TECH HIGH HURL|NG
!. OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT
Clever Vets in Squad Now
DriIIing-Eastern Looms
as Track Winner.

r T appears that the Tech High School
base ball team will be better forth
fed as to pitchers the coming
season than last Spring. A wabbly
hurting staff handicapped the Gray
nine in the 1880 series when 1t won
two games and lost two.
Among the 18 aspirants for battery
berths working in the Tech gymnasium
under the direction of Coach Nal
Edwards are Joe Batson and Everett
Russell, both of last seasons team, and
George Woods, southpaw, newcomer,
who handles himself well. Woods has
had experience in sandlot circles. He
may be the boy to round out a formid-
able mound corps.
Fred Thomas, who did some catching
last season showing considerable promise,
looms as leading candidate for first
string receiver.
Just how much worthwhile talent
will be uncovered among the remainder
of the battery aspirants cannot be
ascertained until practice gets under
bsgin on Techs new athletic field until
after the advisory marks come out next
week.
Manager Bonnie Rubin thus far has
about half completed Techs schedule.
Eleven games have been arranged.
Here's the card as it stands:
April Emerson, at Monument
Diamond No. z.
April 17-Central.
April 18-Emerson.
April 22-Maryland Freshmen, at
College Park.
April 24-Baltimore Poly, at Balti-
more.
April 28-Eastern.
May 1-Gonzaga, at Gonzaga.
May Cuisines.
May 13-Gonzaga.
May 16-Navy Plebes, at Annapolis.
May 19-Western.
1t appears that Eastern will have
Ute trouble winning the annual public
high school championship track meet
for the third straight season.
Before the Catholic University meet
Saturday, Coach Mike Kelley expressed
doubt as to the capability of his run
ming talent as compared with Techs
and Central's. He figured the Lincoln
Parkers would be so handicapped be-
cause no field events we're scheduled
that they would have a hard time re-
tanning the team laurels they won in
the G. u. games in 1929.
The Light Blue showed plenty of
strength, however, in the running de-
partment. There's no question as to
1t being formidable in the field events.

STATE READER TUESDAY Pagan Lady" At State To-
 morrow. Wheeler and Woolscy
 In Caught Plastered" on Bill

Evelyn Brent, Conrad Nagel, Charles Bickford, William Farnum with other well known and ad- mired screen celebrities are seen in Pagan Lady" feature presentation coming to Warner Bros. State to- morrow.
 Associates of the film industry and critics alike have proclaimed this picture to be one of the best directed and most perfectly cast productions of the current season.
 Pagan Lady" Is a love romance | to begin with, but a love romance that is different in many respects The heroine is lady of question able character who has had many loves in her life but readily cast them aside whenever new and more promising ones appeared. How she finally meets the one
 man whom she could really care for and the remorse, trials and tribulations that follow her regen-
 eration, form the plot for one of
 the cleverest stories of the current season. The splendid work of the principals and beautiful natural
 scenery of the story's locale add to the merit of the picture.
 | On the same bill, as an added at-
 traction, the State management
 offers Bert Wheeler and Robert 1 Woolsey in their latest mirthquake
 of merriment Caught Plastered" | There's a laugh in every line of
 this sparkling comedy. New and
 greater surprises are in store for patrons of the State starting Sat-
 urday next. Watch the newspapers
 for further announcements.

NAUCATUCK School Opening
 Has Been Postponed
Will Stay Closed Until Sept Fl, School Board Decides
 Name Street Supt Tonight

l Opening of the schools of the borough originally scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. g, was deferred until Monday, Sept. 21, by the town school committee at a special meet ing of that body held this morning in the office of Superintendent of Schools Chittenden.
 The action was taken due to the prevalence of infantile paralysis in the borough. It was pointed out that there are twelve cases in the borough at the present time. Some of the case have nearly run their course and the patients will be dis missed from quarantine shortly. No new cases have been reported in the borough in the past few days, but in other sections the disease Is spreading. The opinion of the board members was that all precautions should be taken to safeguard the health of the borough children. The school committee were also of the opinion that children should not be permitted to frequent. places where crowds gather. This is not matter for the school commit tee to act upon but the opinion was expressed that the local board of health might take some action along these lines.
 Teachers will be started on the payroll on Sept. H., it being the belief that some of the time lost will be made up later in the year.
 The action of the committee this morning was timely as parents were becoming uneasy in the belief that their youngsters would have to at- tend sessions and run the risks of contracting the disease. It Is ex- pected that in a few more weeks | the disease will have run its course. 1 All of the members of the com mittee with the exception of Judge Gormley were present at the meet ing this morning. Judge Gormley was unable to be present due to an- other engagement.
 To Namc Supt. of Streets
 | It is expected that action on naming a successor to D. J. Cor man retiring street superintendent, will be taken at the regular meet ing of the board of warden and burgesses to be held tonight at o'clock in the borough court room
 There are said to be several can didates for the position but the two most prominently mentioned are Al bert Rathburn, foreman of the street department for many years and James Brophy who has had a vast amount of experience in con- struction work. Both of these can didates are democrats and the Jef- fersonians are in control of the bor- ough board. %
 While rumor has 1t that 1t is all set for MT. Rathburn to succeed Supt. German, the democratic members of the board are not uni ted on the appointment. Burgess board member who has come out John Burke is the only democratic openly for MT. Rathburn. Burgess Maurice Anenberg Is an avowed Brophy man and maintains that he will stick to him to a finish.
 Several days ago it was reported that Burgess John Sheridan was with Burgess Anenberg in the sup port of MT. Brophy, but he has stated that he is not tied up to any candidate. Warden Frank T. Green has been silent as to the

WHAT THE PRESS A GENTS SAY
"An American Tragedy" Talkfe
 Sensation, to Close Engagement
 af Warner Bros State Tonight

Five years was not too long to wait for such an epic motion pie ture as "An American Tragedy"
 Since publication of Theodore Dreisers epic novel. "An American Tragedy" the screen world has waited for the perfection of the talking picture medium, the only medium in which this tremen- dously moving drama could prop erly be presented; waited for the right director to transfer its puls- ing drama to the screen; waited for the right players to enact its tense, human characters. And it did not wait in vain-as has proven the past days at the Warner Bros. State theater, where An American Tragedy" directed by Josef von Sternberg, wizard of the cinema. acted by superb cast headed by Phillips Holmes, Sylvia Sidney mad Frances Dee, flashed a new and greater drama on the screen.
 Phillips Holmes, in the role Of Clyde Griffiths, has the outstanding role of his career. Sylvia Sidney, a remarkable young actress, in the role of Roberta Alden, rockets into first position among screen stars with this one role. And Frances Dee, as Sondra Finchley, springs a new surprise.
 The intense story moves with relentless force on the screen. "An American Tragedy" a great book. a great play, has become a greater moving picture.

Without soil, we should not have enough food-although we could obtain fish from the ocean.
 Soil is largely the product of olden layers of rock. If wind and rain had not acted upon the rock, we could not have the crops we have to-day.
 Long, long ago-nfillions of years, scientists say-the earth contained layers of rock, but no soil or dirt" A New England housewife might have enjoyed liv- ing then, since she would not have needed to chase dirt all day! She would not have had vegetables for her table, however.
 The winds and rains did their work. Rain fell on the rocks. The wind swept against the rocks. Sometimes rain water was frozen before the sun dried it away.
 When water freezes, 1t expands. Rain water sometimes drips into cracks in rocks. If 1t freezes with in a crack. it is likely to make the crack wider-it may even chip" the rock.
 By rotting the rock and by cracking it, rain water slowly helped build up the soil. The wind also helped break down the rock. By and by. plants grew in the soil. Seeds of trees were carried by winds to cracks in rock. and this helped. break down the rocks. Roots of trees growing in rock cracks are likely to make the cracks wider.
 Dig down in the ground to-day. and sooner or later you will come to solid rock. In some places the solid rock is only a few feet below the soil surface. Tn other cases. the rock is scores of feet down. There are places in China where the soil is 200 feet deep. but un- derneath is solid rock.
 Sometimes hard rock just above the soil surface. Winds and rains work slowly on such rock. but they work on 1t just the same. The effects of the work are often curi- ous. Tn southern England, last summer. l saw a rock nature had carved in such way that 1t looked like n huge frog. In Yorkshire. England. Is Monkey Face" rock which was carved by wind and water.
