DIR. Roy L. Smith
To Glue Lecture
Here Friday

In Dr. Roy L. Smith, pastor of
the First Methodist Episcopal
church of Los angeles, the local
Methodist Womehs Aid society
has secured one of the most ia
nous speakers of Los Angeles for
their program Friday at o'clock
in the high school auditorium.
Dr. Smith, so say those who
have heard him, is not one of
these commonplace, dry-as-dust
speakers but one of humor, bril-
lance, alive to the times and
their needs. His discussion of the
New American Revolution is
apt enough in title to attract in
tereSt and his remarks are certain
TO follow the promise inherent in
the subject announced.
Members of the society are
sponsoring his address which is
open to the public and for which
tickets may be purchased from
any member of the society or at
the door Friday night.
Not only is Dr. Smith an able
speaker but he is a man of wide
education and experience. AS pas
tor of the famous Simpson Meth
cdist church in Minneapolis, MINI.
he brought that church to its
present successful status, being
called later to the Los Angeles
church which he has served with
equal success and distinction.
DR.. Smith has travelled widely
and has an excellent background
upon which to build his opinions.
Mrs. Eugene Waterman will also
appear on the program and will
be presented in group Of songs

Confoundlng his critics with as smooth and steady ai1 exhibition oi pocket billiards as has been seen in the nine weeks of tournament play Louis Police of Waterbury was well on his way to second state cham pionship within l3 years, when he set back Steve Boucher of Bridge port 12J tI 66 last night in the first half of ( 26O point match, which will be finished this evening at the Wooster Academy.

Po- lice had few packers when he went to the table last night.
 Nice Work
 Yet. he won the break, but scratched, then went on to run B balls in his second inning, after Voucher missed, then ran ten more and 90 on to pile up a 50 ball lead before the 100 button was reached, though his hig run was less than 20 balls. 17 to be exact. Boucher just could not get going, running 2 in his first effort, then two more, then 13, followed by four and eight, with all his packers waiting for one of those "big" runs-which never came, as he battled with a flock of 'safe" leaves and g nervous system that shook him up after he was 30 balls behind. With Q lead of 82 balls, Po- lice figures to be 8 "cinch" to win the state championship tonight, as Boucher must score 185 balls to 123 for the local cue star, who beat Count" Benoit of Hartford for the Connecticut championship at the old Wooster parlors in 1923.
