Figures on More Hitting.

THE youngsters are hankering to
do something more than toss
EN-. But the older pitchers are
just as eager to WELD the wood. For
batting gives ball player his great
est thrill.
Harris believes the Nationals will
show more punch at the plate this
year than they did last. In the 1884
campaign they batted at 278 rate
to finish in fourth-place tie with
the Yankees in the club lists.
He has great faith in the batting
ability of both Travis and Myer and
holds that Kuhel is a better sticker
than the 289 clip at which he went
along through half of the last cam
paign. I'VE should have three of the
inf1elders hitting we'll above 300," he
figured AT that rate a light-hitting
shortstop such as Larry or Bluege
would not hurt our attack to any
appreciate extent.
''Manush ought to be way up there
again. Stone proved last year he can
hit when he swung for .315. Schultz
is about a 800 clouter. but maybe
Powell will be in there and they tell
me he is the goods as a batter. We

The other three pitchers arrived

Horse Is Dead

Although studies have tended
to prove that horses feel pain
only one-tenth as much as human
beings, Major George H. Mill
holland, Of Fort Myer, asserts
they are not any more inclined
to undergo an operation.
Despite all the lates; innova-
tions in veterinary science boosted
by the Fort Myer Veterinary
Hospital, it called for the serv.
ices Of six men to place a healthy
horse on the table in a practical
exhibition o a trephining opera

Even then 1t was only after
the struggling animal had broken

Veterinary Corps were able to

is much less difficult, because
the animal is first doped with
chloral hydrate until he becomes
fairly docile. Then he is placed
on the table and additional anaes-

Sometimes, before the animal

form.
In Fort Myers new Veterinary
Hospital there is the latest equip
ment for treating horses from
the humane standp int, accord

cavalryman is responsible for the
care of his own horse. Injuries
or sickness too serious to be
treated successfully by the cav.
alrymen themselves, are cared
for in the hospital, where close
tab is kept on the animals in an
effort to prevent infection and
the spread of disease.

in front Of the Times-Herald
Building last evening to the de-
light of a vast throng.
Bill Robinson, with his popu-
larity and ability in interpreting
Negro dances and rhythm, could
easily go a step farther and found
a ballet group that might vie in
popularity with the better known
Russian ballet dancers.
The Monarch Band Is a we'll

responds with enthusiasm to every

Simpson gave a good display of

seems to have reversed his posi-
ton in regard to grand opera in
the English language. In previ-
Gus years he has in many ways in
dicated his sympathy for trans
lated opera; he now makes the
statement: Translated opera is
mutilated opera, whatever the ad-
vantageS of the proceeding may
be. The listener may prefer a
text of which he can intermit-
tently decipher the meaning, even
if the character of that text is at
variance with the pattern and
nuances of the music. Good trans
lations are a boon to singers as
well as audiences. But much Of
the very essence of the opera will
be lost in the translating of it,
and the practical value of the
makeshift will not alter the arti-
ficiality of the proceeding"

Backed By Kinder

Emanuel Balaban, the director
of opera of the Eastman School
of Music, who recently appeared
here as a guest conductor at the
Watergate, firmly believes that
opera in English will grow and
with it the growth of opera in
popularity. DR.. Hans Kinder, di-
rector of the National Symphony
Orchestra, recently said that he
would do anything in his power
to encourage opera in English, in
discussing the proposed operatic
performances next summer at the
Watergate.
In view of the financial straits
Of grand opera companies in gen.

Bristol, March 21-Miss Jeanette Minor Durant, 37, superintendent of Bristol hospital since 1881, died at the hospital last night, after a long illness. An operation for an intestinal disorder was performed eight weeks ago and her condition had been considered serious since that time.

Pile Sufferers

Do you know why external rem edies so seldom give quick and per- manent relief?
 Why cutting does not remove the cause?
 Do you know the cause of Piles is internal?
 That there is congestion of blood in the lower bowel-the veins fiab- by, the parts lifeless?
 Do you know that there is a harmless internal remedy for itch ing, bleeding or protruding piles discovered by Dr Leonhardt and known as HEM-ROID that is guar anteed?
 HEM-ROID banishes piles by re- moving the cause. It stimulates the circulation in the lower bowel drive out the thick impure blood, and restores the affected parts.
 HEM-ROID is so successful in even the most stubborn cases that Apothecaries Hall Co and all good druggists advise every sufferer to get a. bottle of HEM-ROID Tablets today-take them as directed-then if not completely satisfied with re- sults-your money back.

Naugatuck, March 21.-Poli- ticians and other residents of the borough today were discussing the surprising news that Joseph Raytk- wich, IT,, we'll known local busi- nessman and American Legion of- ficer, is the choice of the republic can town committee for the g. o. D. nomination for warden.
 The committee usually picks the candidates and the well-groomed republican caucus machine moves smoothly to select the candidate Raytkwich's nomination now seems but formality. MT Raytkwlch has accepted.
 He is a popular young man, with many friends here. He was an ar- tillery sergeant in the World war, and has been service officer of the Naugatuck Legion post for num- Der of years. He operates an auto repair service station on South Main street. He is a member of the Rotary club.
 As predicted, he is a man who is not rated as politician now. That is, he has not been active in pOlILlCS lOT d uuIlDSI OL yCdA Dc AAS filled the unexpired term left va cant by Burgess Edward McSorley in 1921 but this is the only time he has held public office. MT Me- Sorley vacated the office when he moved out of Naugatuck,
 MT Raytkwich is the son of MT and Mrs Joseph Raytkwich of Millville avenue, Announcement of his candidacy kills persistent ru- mors that Harris Whittemore, Jr., who was defeated last spring by Warden Sheridan, might run again.
 It is expected MT Raytkwich will receive the support of many vet erans with whom he is especially popular. Just how strong a candi- date he will turn out to be remains to be seen. Much of his chances for election will depend on events inside the democratic party. If a split occurs there, his chances would be considered good but if any trouble which migh occur is patched up before election time, the chances of Mir Raytkwich or any other republican candidate will be small, many political ob- servers feel.

Goose Stolen.


 Reports going around Union City, and about which police seem to be angely silent, are to the ef- feet Mrs Josephine Sadlowski of Spring street won't get any eggs from her goose which she bought recently with the expectation of having some nice big eggs for Eas- ter Sunday.
 Mrs Sadiowski's goose won't pro- duce any eggs, the reports say, be- cause it is dead. The goose was stolen Sunday as were also some clothes on the clothesline in the Sadlowski back yard, the story goes. All this is said to have oc- cured on Sunday last.
 The story continues that the thief brought home the goose, and told his wife how he got it for only $1. The animal weighed a. bout 10 pounds and the woman told her friends about her husband getting a large goose for $10. In- vestigation followed and accord ing to reports the man was arrest resteded. Police claim no one was arrested.
 But the fact remains the goose is gone, and it is reported Mrs Sadlowski's clothes were found marked by bloodstains in a barn in Union City.
