 F. c. Smith, captain and slide rule trombonist extraordinary, finally coordinated his eye and arm action and the results were amaZ- ing. Smiths 134 narrowly missed winning high single by a few pins. but he did lead the befuddlcd Plumbers back out of the woods.
 F. O. Smiths return to form sO encouraged his boys that they all hit consistently in the centuries. The fading Dwyer refused to fade, the rookie Husted. refused to blow up and the star of starsJ tcmpera- mental Harry Hubert, refused to be temperamental.
 Vernon Wade was pretty good, too. He had 351.
 The return of the Plumbers to first place is also a personal vic- tory for the column. We predicted that this team of Destiny was bound to win this years pennant. We may yet have to give them, 8 games when we meet so that they may be assured of gathering in the gonfalon. This we will readily do. Our honor Is at stake.

ch,epg Must Beat One More RDal Before Bout W1t Baer
GOOD GOLF
 By BiII KHsh

For those who don't quite understand what transfer ence of weight" means, this suggestion may be of som e slight assistance: In starting the back swing push off with the left toe as the left side takes a natural turn. This m mov m ent automatically throws a good part of the weight on the right foot and right leg. If they are held firmly this will prevent sway ing and will at,the same time permit the left side to take it's turn toward the right.
 The entire action is simple enough. The hands, the club head and the left shoulder, knee and toe all work to- gether. It is always a mistake to attempt any advance move ment with club head, hands or shoulder. The big idea is to let them work together. The push-off from the left toe helps to start the body turn and the right foot and leg are there to catch and hold. There is nothing complicated in this if you care to try it out with a few practice swings.

GOLF DON'Ts

Don't stand too long over the ball-but don't be in any hurry on the back swing or the down stroke.
 Don't try to lift an fro n shot with your hands - let the loft of the club take care of this.
 Don't break your wrists too quickly on the back swing.

Urging support of the proposed equalization grant the state board of education has sent complete outline of tho legislative program to members of tho local school board. Appended to the report Is request that the unqualified back ing of Waterbury commissioners be given the measure in the final drive to secure passage or the, bill by the general assembly.
 According to Y. E. Harrington, executice secretady of the Connecti cut Teachers association, a recent canvas of tho Senate shows 32 members in favor of the "idea" and 24 promising actual support of the bill.
 To Increase Grant
 An increase in the grant to towns from $2. 900, 900 to $4, 500, 900 yearly would be made by terms of the act, which is reappear- ing this year after failure in 1883, The enumeration grant would be raised from $2.25 to $500 per pupil. Roughly figured. the city oi Waterbury would benefit to the extent of $50,000 by the increase

Establishment of a hearings commissioner whose duty 1t would be to determine the worthiness of litigation before 1t could be placed on the trial lists of the courts Of the state. q plan long favored by leaders of the bar, is being brought to the forefront again, in view of the recent biennial report Of the Judicial Council : showing 11,4o4 cases remaining On snperior court dockcts in the eight counties of the state, at the end Of June 70, 1884. Recently published reports state that judges. and juries, working nt top speed would require 2SOs years to dispose of the untried civil 1iH- gntion standing on' the dockcts of the state.
 In New Haven county alone, ,it would take IS years to try the cas- es claimed for court trial and 10 years for jury trials. New Haven county superior court at New Ha. ven, showed a total of 2,00S cases on the docket at the end of the court year in June. New Haven county at Waterbury had 400 np- tried cases in June. Other coufSs, the Council report shows, had the following: Hartford county, 2.305; Fairfield county, 3,779: New Lon don, 742: Litchneld, 33G; Wind- ham, 292; Middlesex, 1852; Tolland, 260.

Geneva (UP).----Five Latin American nations are among the nine countries whose contributions to the League of Nations In 1885 have been reduced by the leagues committee on allocation of ex- pensea.
 The September assembly of the league authorized the committee to reduce the contributions of hard pressed countries for the year 1895 only. It limited, the to- taI reduction to 20 of the units on which the leagues budget is based.
 The assembly had fixed the unit of contribution for 1895 at 3O.294.- G5 Swiss francs. The 20 units. therefore, represented reduction of 605.803 Swiss francs In the leagues income.
 The committee divided the 20 units as shown in the following table. '

Washington, Jan gg.--The Huey Long menace has become q very real one in the New Deal family.
 Twice lately, the cabinet itself has discussed with the utmost SC. riousness Huey's anticipated i030 rcsidentiaI candidacy. Roosevelt and his advisers are wondering what to do about k.
 This Is the way they talked and the way other insiders are talking:
 Huey, heading third party which he already Mas started through his "Shnre Our Wealth" societies and their reported 3,7OO,- 900 members-might poll better than 1O,0OO,O00 votes. He might easily capture other southern states than Louisiana, including Arkan- sas, Mississippi, and Texas.
 The republicans will have q can didate. If he is . strong one and the New Deal has brought no spec tacular recurrence of prosperity. he probably can at least hold the g.o.p. proportion of the 1884 vote. which totaled about 13,0OO 900 ns against some 17,0O0,OO0 democrdt- ic ballots. (In' 1032 Roosevelt boiled % millions, Hoover 16 mil liong.)
 Hucy's Real Menace
 No one supposes Huey could be elected next year. But 1t is all too obvious, according to New Dealers in their agitated private huddles, that his vote, would cut far morc heavily into tho democratic strength strength than the republican
 If 6 third party had taken G. 000, 1000 votes away from the demo- crats ln the last election and nono from the republicans, the g.o.p. would have moppcd up, A .prcsi- dential vote split three ways might give the Kingfish several states outside the south. G
 Such . result would De duck soup for H. Long. He, hates Ropse- welt with virilent hatred which he dares not expreas publicly and his private preferences to the prcsl- dent are unprlntable. < q

 While there has been no meas- ure introduced to the legislature during the present session, 1t Is re- ported that the matter will be dis cussed by Bar asso siations at their annual meetings this year.

 Court attaches claim q great deal of congestion lies in the cases that are otherwise disposed of, h the report Of the clerks. Much of the litigation coming under this classification they claim is "un. meritous litigation" which could be settled. out of court If the in-' fercst cd z parties fiad' an rTuitable idea of tho damages to which they were entitled.

CLUBS IN FAVOR
 OF INSPECTIONS
Local Branch of State Mo- tor Association Sup- porting Measure

Compulsory inspection at regu- lar periods of all automobiles In Connecticut will be necessary, 1T enough sentiment can be secured for plans along this line by the Connecticut Motor club. The Wa tcrbury branch of the state organ ization, with headquarters In the Chamber of Commerce building. strongly supports the measure, which may be introduced to the state legislature next week.
 The bill will not make neces- sary inspections at garages but rather at inspection stations main- tained by the state. This would eliminate complaints that the measure was designed to help gn- ragemen increase their revenue.
 Eight states already have legis. iation making car owners have their vehicles inspected regularly. Bills similar to the one proposed for Connectciut will be introduced in the legislatures of many states at their present sessions.
 The motor club will not back any compulsory inspection bill which does not provide for full state e.controlied inspections. by state employees. and at state in- spection stations. Only in this way, 1t Is claimed. can the menace of unsafe cars be removed from the highways of Connecticut.
