U. 5. ENTRIES IN GRAND NATIONAL
 ARE FAYORITES
By TOM CREEDON

United Press Stan CorrespOndent)
 London, (UP) - once again American owners have strong hand in the Grand National, and there is a good sporting chance that the chasing Blue Riband will cross the Atlantic for the second time in succession.
 Apart from John Hay Whitney's Thomond II. which is one of the leadln gfavoriteS in the betting, a good chance can be made out for several of the other American- owned horses, including Mrs C. Birds Heartbreak Hill, J. E. Shows Delaneige, and Mrs r. Am- prose Clark's Sorley Boy.
 Heartbreak Hill was strongly fancied for last years race, but fell at the Canal fence during tho first circuit. The previous year she put up a very creditable per- formance to finish sixth after be- ing badly baked. Mrs Birds crack leaper was trained in Ire- land until recently when she was transferred to Eric Stedalls sta- ble at Lewes in Sussex. In spite of the fact that mares are rarely successful in the Grand National, all connected with Heartbreak Hill are very optimistic. The last occasion when a mare won was in 1902. and in the last 50 years only three have succeeded.
 Not Bad
 J. B. Shows Delaneige ran fourth in last years race, when making his first attempt. He won q good race at Hurst park recent ly and may develop into a strong ly fancied candidate. Delaneige Is true Aintree type of fencer, with q god turn of speed, and is not likely to be heavily handi- capped in the weights.
 Sorley Boy is an eight-year-o with no experience of the Aintree track, but has had an interesting career. About year ago, follow ing several failures, he became a real crack at hurdle racing. Sometime afterwards he was raced over fences, and won three successive events over distances of 24 to 26 furlongs.
 The horse has continuously pro- gressed in jumping and may be ridden by Dudley Williams who will be attempting to win for the same family twice in succession. Mrs Clark, wife of Sorley Boys owner, won last year with Kelis- boro Jack. lucky present given to her by her husband shortly after he bought him in Ireland.
 The remaining American-owned entries are Jesse Metcalf's pair, Theras and Patron Saint, ana Michael Blair's Prince Cherry. Of these Theras looks most promis- ing. having already negotiated the Grand National track. He was baked in last years race when going strongly, and Is showing good form this season.

 Driver Warned
 The decision of Chief Justice Maltbie states that whether Heis- ler's conduct amounted to reck- less disregard of the safety of the occupants of his car, presented an issue of fact for the jury.
 'The collision occurred on the southerly side of East Main street only a few feet westerly of an extension of the east curb line of Hamilton avenue. After Heis- Ter started his car into the inter- section, the plaintiff Aptone Rose noticed the Widman car approach ing, then at a distance of one hun- dred and one hundred and fifty feet and going at a fast speed. He called Heisler'S attention to it. whereupon Heisler said he would make the driver of the other car stop; and when Rose again warned him of the likelihood of an acci- dent, Heisler replied, Viewer mind"

 ''Heisler, in violation of the re- quirements of the statutes, gave no signal of his intention to turn and made the turn considerably to the left of the center of the in- tersection; his car was going SC slowly that he could have stopped it in a very short distance; warn ed of the danger of a collision and at least when that warning was given. aware of the approach of the other car, he went forward in the very face of danger, with intent to place the entire burden of avoiding injury to the occu. pants of his car upon Widman Whether his conduct amounted to reckless disregard of the safety of the occupants of his car pre- sented an issue of fact for the jury"

BYROLLY co SUED
 BY N. H. WOMAN
Plaintiff Asks $lO,OOO Damages for Hurts in
 Protecting Baby

The Byroliy Transportation Go of this city is named defendant in an unusual suit filed yesterday Tn the New Haven superior court by Mrs Lucy DiaZ of New Haven. The woman sues for S10,000 claiming she was injured trying to protect her baby in its carriage. because of the negligence of the defendant concern.
 The suit says she was pushing the carriage along Grand avenue, May 24, when a truck of the local company was backed along the street in such a manner that it struck an electric lightpole.
 The pole snapped off and start ed to fall in the direction of the baby carriage. The mother quick 1y placed herself between the car- riage and the falling pole. She as- eumed a sprawled position, with arms outstretched.
 Tn this position the pole struck her. injuring her about the back and abdomen, together with caus- ing a 1aceration of the left eye.
 The case is returnable to court at New Haven in September. The trucking company driver is charged with negligent operation of his truck, in that he permitted the vehicle to strike the pole, caus- ing 1t to fall.

 When Fred Burke heard the judge sentence him to hard. labor for life in Miehigan's Marquette prison, he muttered a low 'Thanks!" He had reason to be thankful for Michigan's lack of a death penalty.

HILARIOUS COURT
 SESSION ENJOYED
Peddler Says He Would Rather Burn Money
 Than Pay Wife

''I'd rather burn all my money than give any to her." declared a 50 year old resident of Abbott ave- nue in city court this morning on a charge of non-support, as he pointed to his wife, who with two children is living in New York. But just to prove his good inteH- tions, he took off his right shoe, took therefrom a roll of bills and tossed one of them, five, in the general direction of his wife.
 The gentleman in question pro- vided a private city court session with a hilarious half-hour as he strolled about the juvenile court room delivering impromptu ora tions, and contradicting himself time after time as to his worldly wealth and fortunes.
 Good, that's fine," he said when Judge John F. McGrath first gave him jail sentence of three months. "I'll stay there all my life rather than pay any money to my wife," The judge finally disposed of the case by referring to the To- cal arbitration committee. The judge withdrew the jail sentence when he learned that the defend ant had undergone mental treat ment several times and had been in institutions.
 The husband. who occupies himself principally as peddler but who is also a painter and pa- perhanger, first declared that he wasn't making any money. Then he said a little later that he could make $200 a week and that he had a stock, recently purchased, of articles totaling $1.000 in value.
 "I'm smarter than all of you," he declared, sweeping his hand about the court room.
 "I guess you are if you can make $200 a week." remarked the iudpe.

Celia and Antone Rose retain the $2,500 verdict they recovered in the common pleas court against Alex Heisler, under the finding of Chief Justice William M. Maltbie of the supreme court of errors, handed down yesterday. Mrs Rose was given $1,500 and her husband. Antone, $1,00 0for injuries suffered last November when Heisler's car in which they were riding, collid- ed with 8 machine driven by John Widman at East Main street and Hamilton avenue.
 The jury excused Widman from liability but held Heisler as the negligent party. This is unusual because under the guest statute in this state it is extremely difficult to get a verdict or judgment when guests sue the driver of the car they are riding in.
