GERMAN MINISTRIES
 TO SING TONIGHT
New York

A minstrel group of ten singing German students,, wandering around the world on ship and foot to carry the greetings of the Ger man Youth Movement to the youth of other countries, will make their bow to the United States over an NBC.WJZ network tonight, at 7-15 o'clock, E.D.S.T. e..As,
 The group. known as Singschar Rheinischer Wandervogel, or The Wandering Songbirds of the Rhine" was selected from the mill lions of members of the German Youth Movement to make a twelve month good will tour around the world. Singing and playing. they have wandered through Holland and England since leaving Germany four weeks ago. Following their first radio concert, they plan to cross the, United States on foot, giving con- certs as they go. They are due to reach Germany by way of China and the east at the end of twelve months.
 It is the purpose of the group to earn money wherever possible to help pay steamship fare, but the youths are supplied with sufficient funds to meet their necessary ex- penses. Selected from among the student bodies of German univer- sities, the singers range in age from IS to 25. Dressed in the uniform of the German Youth Movement--cordur shorts. gray woolen shirts and broad brimmed hats--they sing German folk songs and play banjos, flutes, guitars and n drum.
 The German Youth Movement, similar to <the Boy Scout move- ment in the United States and Eng land, has grown with great rapidity since the World War and now en- lists millions of young German students.

Roosevelt leads in forty-one states with a total popular vote of approximately to 2 over Hoover in-the final returns of The Literary Digest's nation wide poll, which is said to represent the largest num- Der of votes in any presidential poll ever conducted, according to to- morrow's issue. of the magazine.
 A grand total of s,064j497 bal- lots were returned and tabnlated. Of these 1,715,7S9, or 55.90 per cent are for Roosevelt, 1.150, ,398, or 37.53 per cent voted for Hoover and 14S,O79, or ABA per cent reg istered their sentiments for Thomas.
 Hoover shows a slight gain from the 37.33 per cent of the total vote which he had in the, semi i-fiIal re- turns and the 37.i9 per cent for him in the quarter-final returns. which later tabulation was the first to contain balIoting from all forty- eight states.
 The final vote gives Hoover a lead in the seven states of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massa- chusetts, Rhode Island, Connecti- cut and New Jersey.
 Roosevelt leads his republican rival in all of the other forty-one states.
 A division of the vote by an elec- toral college apportionment would give Roosevelt 474 votes to Hoover's 57.
 The Literary Digest editorially comedies the possibility that Roose- welt may carry five of the states in which Hoover leads in the final tabulation. It is stated that in the 1928 poll Rhode Island and Massa- chusetts were indicated as Hoover states but were carried by Smith in the election, An analysis of the present vote. 1t is shown. re- veals that ballots have not been voted in adequate quantity by democratic voters in these states.
 The Literary Digest points out also that the same situation ob- tains in Connecticut, New Hamp- shire and New Jersey, where the

MISSIONARY LIFE
 IN THE FAR EAST
Father Sweeney Back in Home Town After Long
 Absence
MOTHER MADE HAPPY

The New Britain correspondent of the Hartford Courant has the following to say, about the return of Father Sweeney to his home town after spending several years in missionary work in China:
 'sThe memories Of Chinese wars, of cries of sick and starving re- fugees and the fears of a mother for a son in frequent danger have given way to joy in the home of MT and Mrs Joseph F. Sweeney of 108 Clark street. for, after an ab- sence of nearly 12 years the oldest son, Rev Joseph A. Sweeney has returned to his native city from missionary work in the Fart East.
 Father Sweeney after 2 journey which 1t required several months to make, will spend several months in New Britain before being as- signed to some new field of mis- sionary work or before returning to Korea, Manchuria and other Far Eastern sections in which he has worked almost all of the time since his ordination in 1920.
 one Of four in the family to take up a religious life, Father Sweeney was graduated from St Maryss school here. St Thomas seminary, Bloomfield and the Maryknoll Missionary college in Osaining, Y. F., where he was or- dained. After spending a short time in California he went to Korea and has spent the past doz- en years in this and other parts Of Asia. At one time he had parish containing some hundreds of square miles and many hundreds of thousands Of persons.
 During the recent upheayaIs in hfanchuria he was working in the danger zone, helping fo care for those suffering from the sconrge of war in and about Mpkdsn. T

! 4 very far astray in the figures and percentages from Pennsylvania"
 The final returns of the 1928 Lit- erary Digest poll forecast that Hoover would win forty-two states including the democratic strong holds of Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Texas. Tn this poll the only states The Literary Digest failed to forecast correctly were Massachusetts and Rhode Island, which were carried by Smith con- trary to the poll figures.
 A comparison of the official 1928 vote and the 1928 Literary Digest poll vote showed the magazines referendum to be- over 95 per cent correct in it's prediction of both the popular vote and the electoral college vote.

HAS NOT WON FLAG
SINCE 1924 SEASON
Followers Believe Team Is
Capable of Beating Out
Eastern for HonorS.
BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR.

- HOULD Central High, which
has one of the best base ball
~ teams in years, triumph this
year in the public high
school championship series, it will
be the first time it has gained the
crown since way back in 1924.
Since that time Eastern, which
now is striving for it's fifth
straight win, has gained the title
each year except 1927, when Tech
was victorious.
Central followers believe their team
has great chance to vanquish Eastern
Friday and ring up its third triumph
in as many series starts.
Victory in 1924 came to Central on
a screaming crash for a home run with
the bases loaded by Hank Slanker,
rightfielder. who previously had done
nothing extraordinary in the series.
The dramatic clout put the game be-
yond the reach of Tech, and Central
won its second straight title. Prior to
Slanker's wallop, which came in the
late stages, it had been a fine game,
with Henry Phipps of Central and Tew
Of Tech waging desperate pitching
duel
Central's lineup for the Tech game
included Adams, left field; Williams,
center field; ScruggS, shortstop; Hance,
first base; Slanker, right field; Hale,
third base; Wilmer, second base; Robe
son, catcher, and Phipps, pitcher.
Whitley Scruggs, Bob Williams,
Phipps and Mike Gordon, who did not
play in the Tech game, but exhibited
strongly at third base in other con-
tests, we're Central players to be select
ed by The Star for all-high honors.
1t was Western that gave Central its
hardest struggle in 1924 The Blue and
