LOOPRACE
BY GINo SINH

Alfred dutch" Newman, first
ID. C. entry in the Washington
Times Dixie Sweepstakes, holds a
unique distinction in local duck
pin annals.
He once rolled a game that de-
cided q District League cham
Ipiotship, though his own team
pdid not profit by 1t. It was q
1885, not 183 as recorded in Len
Collins book, and Dutch" rolled
ut on March 8, 1927, in a match
between Temple and King Pin.
There is one man who will
never forget that particular game.
That man is Howard Campbell,
for it cost his King Pins the
Ititle.
The race that year was bitterly
tcontested, with four teams in the
running all the way through the
season. King Pin had a one-gan1e
advantage over its rivals halfway
lthrough the final series, when
they claShed with Temple on the
aatter's drives.
Temple, only a fair team way
down in the standings, was con-
SEidered : little more than a
"'breather" for the fast-traveling
Campbellites.
First Two Games Even
Everything seemed under con-
itrol as King Pin took the first
game with plenty to spare. Tenn
'ple made it one-all by taking a
low-score second game by small
margin. But in the third heat
things began to happen.
"Dutch's" scythe line curve be-
gan to whip into the pocket with
devastating effect, while his
mates were giving him excellent
sSupport. Campbell wasn't par
eticularly worried for his lads
were smacking them down, too.
But when Newman continued to
tchalk-up an uninterrupted row
of strikes and spares frown
crossed the Sailors" brow.
''Dutch strung out nine straight
marks, four strikes and 1--WE
0Rd1CSs 4OI O11C GOOs
When the score was totaied up,
Nemple had pulled the unexpected
and taken two from the highly
'touted King Pins. The score OF
that final game was $40 to $50,
both powerful totals*e those
days.
Drops King Pin Into Tie i
That loss dropped the King
Pins into tie for the lead with
several of it, rivals, and ''"e
deadlock continue to the end Of
the season, with Convention
Hall, Curb Cafe and Stanford
Paper finishing with the same
number of wins and losses as
King Pin, and the Hallmen gain
ing the pennant by virtue Of q
sgreater pinfall.
Incidentally, Newman's effort
tiled the then District alltime
thigh game record set by Freddie
Moore in the Campbell Sweep
stakes two months before, al
though Dutch" never got credit
for it, as the game had been
efr0neouSly reported as 4oS III
the next days papers.
Finish 3rd In Campbell
Newman is a real contender in
Sthe Dixie. In his only appear
sance in the Howard Campbell
Sweepstakes, he collected third
money. That was in 1880 when
the event drew the largest field
in its history, 81 entries.
dutch" started his bowling
career in the Jr. Order League,
when it rolled on the old Ana
costa alleys. Many Of the city'S
leading stars saw service in this
ancient loop, including Brad
Mandley, during Newman's early
days.

Democratic Victory Fund

In opening the drive for the democratic victory fund in this city yesterday it was intimated that Connecticut would be ex- pected to enrich the national eoffers of the party by at least $5O,000. That is quite sum in these days, but it can be easily real ized if properly sought. Waterburys con- tribution to the fund is expected to amount to $500. There will be many people glad to contribute to such campaign fund 1T they can be assured that it will mean an end to the reckless republican rule of the last few years. Without attempting to ind fault with President Hoover or his aides we merely wish to remark that it was their proud boast few years back that the re- publican party and prosperity were synony- nous. What an asinine remark to be made. Yet millions of voters believed 1t implicitly. 2, There is no sense in connecting either of the two major parties with prosperity or depression. But the one that claims credit for the one must certainly be blamed for the other. That follows as surely the night the day. However we can take issue with our republican legislators on such subjects as high tariffs. There has been steady upward movement in the last three repubi- can administrations. It reached it's climax last year with the Smoot-Hawley bill. We can see its disastrous effects pretty plainly No good results are apparent. Yet President Hoover assured the nation that passage ot this tariff measure was of the most vital im- portance to the business security of the United States And more of us again be- lieved him. We'll. our patience IS tried. We have no more confidence in the grand old party of prosperity CD.
 That is quite digression from talk of a denocratie victory fund. Consider it merely stage effects. We wanted merely to get democrats and others disgusted with the present federal administration in the proper spirit to hear an appeal for money, one of the many now going the rounds. However, in this instance the toll will not be exorbl- tant Without trying to dictate any policy to those behind the state and local drives what an imposing thing it would be to have $500 democrats of Waterbury contribute S1 to the fund. It certainly would be far more reasonable to assess larger number smaller amount than a smaller number large amount And it would have great moral effect upon the voting population of the city and state. It would reveal the unity and strength in the democratic party in l932. cent contributions to the democratic campaign We'd like to see millions of dollar or fifty chest. The money would do an immense amount of good in charity work, but if it gives us better government charity work will be at a minimum instead of maxi mum.

No Bars in Them Thar Mountin's s

While most of us tenderfoot in the East tremble at the mere mention of the name grizzly bear--we are informed on reliable information that the grizzly or the brown bear will not attack human being unless molested That certainly sounds reasonable der tales of our youth' Must we forsake them for the merciless truth which brands as legendary most of those tales of western plains and mountains? Just now the heart of the big bear country Is Alaska. No doubt the animals can be found in other sections of this nation but the number of grizzlies and brown bears is on the wane even in far away Alaska.
 It may be recalled that a year ago Con- gress named special Senate committee to study the wild life resources of the nation. At the head of this group was placed our own Senator Walcott. if we are not mis- taken. We remember reading of this com mttees trips through the West and into Alaska. Its findings nave not yet been made public, save fer the general knowledge that more protection is urgently needed to
 
 game. It is not too much to presume that the report will speak of the grizzly and brown bear Perhaps it may even suggest that Admiralty and Chicogof Islands oppo- site Juneau, Alaska. be made sanctuares for these beasts.
 If so then the nation will be indebted to the New York Geological Society, not to mention other conservation organizations throughout the country. which have worked necessarily for years to protect these animals from the nroads of hunters who have slain carelessly and without consideration of the future. We have seen our once immense forests razed to the ground with no thought of providing for growths in later years. It is only in the past decade that we have be- come tree conscious. We are gradually em- bracing conservation of wild life and natural resources as a national policy We restored the bison to place of prominence when 1t was virtually extinct. Let's not wait for this stage in the history of the grizzly bear.

Alfalfa Bill"

While most of the nation IS en toying laugh at the calm manner in which Cover nor William H. Murray of Oklahoma dis posed of the leading democratic candidates for the presidential nomination, we wonder what the voters who sway elections one way or the other are thinking. Alfalfa Bilr' may be outspoken; trife raw or crude, if you care for the latter term; not well versed
 in the gossip of the day, but with all he IS somewhat of a solid citizen much given to thinking of the people. There is too much to the man for him to be pushed aside as lightly as he pushes Messrs Smith, Roosevelt Baker, and Young He hasn't knocked about this globe for an idle purpose. He is as shrewd as he is canny. We're convinced that he is making desperate effort to pro- feet himself into the White House next fall. Maybe it wouldn't be bad idea if he did land there.
 Discussing the above presidential luminar- ies Governor Murray got rid of Alfred E. Smith with wave of his hand. Evidently no comment was necessary. Of Governor Roosevelt he merely remarked on his timd- ity. The democratic party needs standard  As for Newton D. Baker, whom democrats are hailing as the fair-haired boy the gover- nor says he is merely great scholar, but baby at politics and is playing with the League of Nations" Of course. Governor Murray shys from the league today as he did in 1916 in the House of Representatives of which he was then a member.
 Owen D. Young as head of a great cor poration was definitely out of the running, according to Alfalfa Bill''. And there he stopped at predictions or comments. We should think he would. That's actually dew astating. To have the leading democrats Tn the party disposed of in short fashion makes us wonder just what will transpire at Chi cago next June if the convention allows this extraordinary man from Oklahoma to stam- pede it. And we're beginning to think that he will try just such a stunt as that. How ever. he has his good points. too He wants the war debts paid. We second his notion as will most citizens of the United States who have any regard for their country.
 Governor Murray is one of those individ- uals who believes that prohibition should play no part in the coming convention. The party platform should be more of an eeo- homie texture to his way of thinking. But he clearly indicates by his remarks on the right of the people to amend the Constitution the slight catch in the throat that prohibition has given SO many of us. If he is 10 be

It remained for dry minister from Hart ford to ridieule Senator Bingham and the strenuous efforts he is making to put across a successful four per cent beer bill in Con- gress. Rev John M. Phillips declared at the Anti-Saloon Leagues biennial meeting in Washington that There are enough peo- pie in the United States to see that we do not have anything else but convinced and sincere dry there. ." He referred to the White House. Continuing he declared that If anybody can make the wet side look ridiculous, Senator Bingham will. There is a great sentiment on Connecticut that all sons of the wild jackasses do not come from west of the Mississippi. :" Maybe so. but we're willing to wager that Senator Bingham's wet stand has just about cinehed the senatorial nomination for him right here in this state Further than that 1t has raised Senator Bingham from the lowly state to which he had fallen by political ineptitude to position of honor and trust among his colleagues. And that is task for any man.

Poisoned Ducks

A new menace threatens the extinction of wild ducks The birds are dying by thousands from lead poisoning which fol- lows their eating shot, Bear Lake, near AL bert Lea Minn, is said to contain about 100 tons of lead in the form of shot fired by hunters. When the ducks scoop up their natural food they frequently take in some of these bullets. Some of the dead ducks which have been examined have had from 10 to 70 lead pellets in their gizzards
 The lead permeates the ducks system and makes it sick. At first the birds are unable to fly. They walk with great difficulty. Then they die This state of affairs is go- ing to be hard on the ducks and any other birds which may happen to pick up lead with their food and hard on sportsmen. Ac- cording to Dr. T. B. Magath of the Mayo Clinic, no remedy has been found for it at present. Perhaps duck hunters should re- turn to use of bows and arrows or sling shots.

Mayor George A. Quigley of New Britain proposes d special session of the Legislature in order that it may deal with problems of taxation now vexing every town and city in this state, not to mention the entire na- ton. The request for special session IS contained in letter to State Commissioner William H. Blodgett in answer to query on the tax situation. In concluding his let ter the mayor said, T would of course, be very pleased if Governor Cross would call a special session of the Legislature to take such action as will afford immediate relief and no doubt the League of Municipalities could hasten its program of investigation and be prepared to present its bills if spe- cial session was called. ." We admit the seriousness of the present situation in regard to municipal debts, decreased and uncol- lected taxes. But we wonder if the Leqis- lature could remedy the trend of the times. Isn't that for the individual community We can't have the Legislature meeting at Hart ford and deciding that Waterbury will or will not do such and such thing. That's just what every city in the state has been complaining of for years. There is too much eneroaehment upon home rule. just as as there is federal usurpation of states rights. This question of added revenue for towns and lower taxes is purely individual to our way of thinking. What may work in one community won't prove feasible in another. We welcome aid in any form. but we question the plan of summoning a special session of the Legislature to decide the ques- ton of taxes and revenue.

American Plan" Meals

The American plan of hotel meals is said to be coming back erowdng out the European plan that has prevailed in nearly all our cities for the last 20 or 30 years. Hotels even in the big cities are serving meals now at regular prices, which may average 50 cents for breakfast and lunch and $l for dinner. They find this arrangement very popular just now - the meal costs less than
 it would if ordered a la carte. item by item, or the patron gets more for the same money.
 Few hotels, as yet, seem to have combined these meals definitely with the price of d room, making one charge for all, as was the old practice. The meals are still left to the guests own free will. But as travelling man suggests it would be very simple to re- store the old American plan of a day rate for everything, which not only gave the guests plenty to eat but saved them trouble.

requires a new executive head; im- mediately it is reported that MT Coolidge may get the place. Presi- dent Farrell of the United States Steel corporation resigns; the pap CTS carry New York dispatches to the effect that MT Coolidge is being considered as the foremost steel executives successor. At one time MT Coolidge was by many selected to be the next president of an im- portant life insurance company. Not so long ago our dairy industry became demoralized; there upon came the suggestion that MT Cool idge be made the milk czar" of New England.
 This list does not exhaust the in- stances that have brought fresh publicity to Mir Coolidge in connec- ton with important positions for which he has had no special train ing and probably has no taste either natural or acquired.
 If any big job should be offered to MT Coolidge, why not make 1t big enough to get some reaction from him? He never notices the incessant mentioning of him for this, that and the other vacancy. If the the whole world would unite in inviting him to take charge of its vastly troubled affairs. thus making him supper-Mussolini, he might at least get . kick out of deciining---thank you for tho hon. or--the Job of running the cosmos.
