STUDENTS STRIKE
 BELIEVED KILLED

Expected to be the center of dis cussion of the recent student dis turbances, the meeting of the board of education yesterday was one of the shortest of the current school year, and no mention was made of the so-ca1led strike which affected the three public high schools last week.
 Contrary to expectation, no peti- tion calling for a change in the seven-period study plan was pre- scented to the board, and none of the members brought up the sub ject for discussion. The session lasted only a little more than 20 minutes, during which routine bus mess of the board was transacted. The failure of students to present their claims in proper fashion is believed to be the end of the out breaks, climaxed by the arrest of two boys at Wilby last week for attempting to incite students there to join proposed walkout.

APRIL DEADLINE FOR BASEBALL
 DIAMONDS SET
Park Department to Act on Applications After
 April 3Oth

With the major 1eaguers grad ually moving into battle formation for the 1884 campaign, young mems fancies naturally turn to thoughts of baseball. Although sev- eral of the local ciyt park fields are still under several inches of ice and snow, notice emanated from the park department office in the city hall this morning that all base ball leagues and teams seeking sea- son permits for the park diamonds must send in their application on or before Monday, April 30th.
 Daylight saving goes into effect Sunday, April 29th
 Fair Warning
 Ample notice to this effect is given out early each season in or der that all clubs, factories and other organizations seeking the use of park fields may be accorded the same cOurtesies regarding the allot- ment of diamonds. Although man. agers and captains of teams and of leagues will not be for several weeks yet, the park department earnestly re- quests that those in charge of these last season send in tentative application, giving the name of the team or league: the name of the manager or secfetary; and his address and phone num- Der.
 No diamonds will be given out until after the entries close Mon. day, April 30th. Send application to William J. Derwin, park depart ment, city hall.

Providence Plays
 New Haven Sunday

New Haven, March 15--With but two games remaining on the schedule for the New Haven Eagles, ere the Carroll flock writes "flnis" to the 1933-34 Can-Am sea- son, the Birds promise to gain ven- geance against the Providence Reds and the Boston Cubs whom they will meet on successive Sum- days at the Arena. The Coutu- coached aggregation makes its final invasion of the Elm City on Sunday bu the Eagles will endeav- or to write a somewhat different concluding chapter than what hap pened a few weeks ago when the Reds severely trounced the Birds by the score of 6 to 2.
 Providence heads the Can-Am standing by close margin and if possible the Birds will seek to de- throne the Rhode Islanders from the pinnacle of the league.
 Carroll's flock has displayed fighting brand of hockey in recent starts and appears to be in the bes. form of the season. At the start there were many newcomers to the club and it was difficult to organize players who had never played to- gether, but lately the outfit has shown marked improvement in team play and it would not be sur- prising to see the Eagles clip both the Reds and the Cubs, thus mak- ing happy ending to a none too successful season.

REYMOND HILLIES FACE SHADOWS IN
 BROOKLYN Y TILT
League Rivals Clash To. night for Third Time
 Falcons in Prelim

All attendance records at the Brooklyn Y are expected to be shattered tonight when the Rev rnond Hillies, winners of the first round, clash with the Shadows who are leading the second round with three victories in as many starts. The Hillies were handed a surprise setback by the Cowboys and must win tonight's conflict to win the second round and do away with a play-off between the winner of the first and second rounds. A win for the Shadows will give them the second round championship and necessitate play-off with the Hillies while on the other hand a win for the doughboys will cause a deadlock in the second round and other game vii lhave to be played before the winner of the second round is known.
 Plenty of Rivalry
 There is just as much rivalry be- tween these two teams as there is between the Brooklyn A. c. teams and the Washington Hills, because the HiIlies hail from Washington Hill and the Shadows represent the Brooklyn section. The Shadows arc bent on keeping the champion ship of the Brooklyn Y in the Brooklyn section while the Hillies are confidenk of adding more pres- tige to the Hill by bringing the title from across the bridge to the Abrigador section.
 Split In Series
 The teams have met twice be- fore this season and have split in the two game series, the Shadows winning the first after a sensational second half rally. the Hillies talk ing the second quite easily.
 Both teams will be at full strength for this contest and two high school stars will be seen in action. the Hillies will show Pete Pompopio, brilliant Wilby high player at one of the forward posi- tions, while the Shadows will use George Stankavich. L.eayepWOrth high captain and high scorer, at one of the guard posts.

 In the preliminary tonight the Cowboys will meet Henry (Call me DukeJ PelPo's forever arguing Fall sons the contest is scheduled to get underway at 7:30 with dancing to follow the main attraction. The probable main game line ups will be as follows: Raymond Hillies Shadows F. Pomponio :. Capaldo |
