Goss pre- sented a bust of Georgfie Washing ton to the society, on behalf of the Washington bicentennial commis- sion, and also delivered an address of the celebrations to be held all over this country, commencing next February and continuing until Thanksgiving day. The speaker said that he will have talk with Mayor Hayes next week to plan for observance of the occasion in Wa terbury. In addition to the bust MT. Goss also presented the club an of- ficial Autograph of Washington. The bust and Autograph were ac- cepted on behalf of the club by the president, William F. Kelly.

 In police court this morning the attention of Judge T. V. Meyer was called to the generous hirsute dec oration on the upper lip of one Domenic Beccia, 65, of 17 Green wood terrace.
 Unless this man had pea shooter, your honor can readily see that it. owuld have been impossible for him to spit in the compali1- ants face as alleged. remarked Prosecuting Attorney Emil Hum- mel The decoration is apparently Domenic's pride. It has the famous dropping curves a la walrus.
 Beccia admitted that it was pos .sible that he did spit as he was walking along the street. but he didn't recall that he used Nick Pilla's face as a target.
 The two men were good friends up to last election day when it is somewhat of a custom for even old time pals to have a disagreement

The two quarreled at that time when Pilla demanded to know of .Beccia if he had voted. Beccia had replied that 1t was none of his musiness. wheth- CT he voted or not. Judge John F.

 Judge Meyer warned both men today that their next appearance in court would result in both being charged with disturbing the peace. Attorney Thomas F. McGrath, counsel for Beccia, stated that 1t would be a good scheme to have both men leave town on next elec- tiOn day.

CHICAGO, February 24.-Betty Rob-
inson, who won the 1928 Olympic 100
yard dash for the United States, and
Stella Walsh, the sensational Polish
miss from Cleveland, today were all
square in their rivalry.
Miss Robinson. now a coed at North
western University, last night evened
up for a defeat by Miss Walsh last
Summer by winning a feature century
in the Illinois National Guard and
Naval Militia games by a scant foot
over the Cleveland runner.
The time, OLA, was only four -tenths
of a second slower than Miss Walshs
world record, which was made on an
outdoor track. and was remarkably
good for the slow bumpy track in the
124th Field Artillery Armory. Miss
Robinson gained margin of about
foot at 25 yards and held it to the
finish. Miss Walsh ran with her left
ankle bandaged, due to strained ten
don, but made a great race out of it.

Hail. Griffin, Lee Hanley and Halls

posed of Kaplan, Brill, Lukats and

race, in which the boys wore foot ball
