Game Wednesday -.Tor= rington Proved Second
 Diamond Victim

Naugatuck, April 26-With two victories to its credit, the Naugatuck high school baseball team is point ing for its third victory Wednesday when 1t meets the Watertown high here at 3 p. m. The Garnet staged an eighth inning rally Saturday to overcome Torrington's one-run lead and win by a 6-3 score in game played at Recreation field here. Mariana twirled well for Nauga- tuck, allowing seven hits. Torring- ton started off well, getting two runs in the first but the Garnet tallied one run in the second and another in the third to even things up. The tie lasted until the first half of the eighth when the visitors scored a run but a walk by Anderson, a double by Began, singled by Farrar, 8 sacrifice by Mariana and singles by Sweeney and Tuohey resulted in four runs for the locals and victory as Torrington did not score in the ninth.

bird. And it is a fact that he knows more
about eagles and falconry in general than any
other living man.
But falconry is only one phase of the vast
domain of bird lore that Eagleman Knight has
acquired. His best known contribution to
ornithology is his book, "Aristocrats of the
Air" Another, The Adventures of Mr..
Ramshaw the Eagle, has just been published.
But he has done something more valuable
than books for the benefit of ornithologists
He has made collection of moving pictures
of the private lives of long list of birds,
including the elusive nightingale. Such task
requires well-nigh fabulous patience Yet
upon occasion he can be the most excitabie of
mortals!
One instance of this superhuman patience
of his can be gathered from recent addition
relates his achievement in South Africa In
the aquiline world one of the most highly
priced is noble bird known to scientists as
Polymartus Belicosus, the martial hawk
eagle. He is to be found, nowadays. only in
South Africa, and even there is rare, because
the government pays f5 bounty for every
specimen killed.
Whatever ornithologists think of him,
Polymartus Bellicosus is not chatty sort of
neighbor for sheep farmers and others to have
around. One bird alone is capable of destroy
ing as many as hundred lambs or kids in a
couple of years; hence the bounty. Strange as
it may sound. you won't see any of these
martial hawk eagles in any ZOO. The only insti-
tuition in the world that has specimen is the
American Museum of Natural History-and
that one is dead, stuffed and immature.

me terrific smack in the side of the face.
She had done it once before with no serious
consequences aside from knocking me almost
senseless. But this time she hung on, her
talons buried in my face. One was dug in
below my left eye, right into the bone of the
eye socket, one below my left ear, a third
under my chin. As the blood gushed out my
camera operators stood there with their
mouths open, dumfounded. For couple of
long, long minutes thought was going to

How did you get loose?" asked, appalled,.
"Oh, l had to tear her claw out of my face
by main force" replied the captain coolly.
But don't think l wasn't frightened. The
best left eye l ever had old boy Il came
within an eighth of an inch of losing it. But
in the end there was no harm done just
couple of scars. Nowhere near as bad as being
gassed, as was at the Sonme in 1917
When you meet Captain Knight you see a
man who apparently is the typical British
officer. Unless you were told, you'd never
dream that he is one of the foremost living
ornithologists. Six-feet-two and broad in pro-
portion, ruddy, robust, jolly and kindly, he
gives the impression of being just another
English country gentleman interested mainly
in sports and the devastating English land
taxes.
But when you get him talking about birds
you suddenly realize that you are in the
presence of an enthusiast, zealot and man
of science.
Since either Mister Ramshaw or a younger
bird called James is an indispensable part of
his most popular shows, American audiences
think of Captain Knight as the Eagle Man.

saw Mr.. Ramshaw perched proudly on the
back of taxi, looking scornfully at the hack
man who was wildly swinging his belt, they
were equal to the occasion. One of them flung
a coat over the eagles head, the other
grabbed his legs. And thus they triumphantly
carried to the precinct station bewildered
and badly frightened Ramshaw, who was in
no way accustomed to such treatment
Thus it was that when Captain Knight re-
turned from his lecture he was gratefully
and happily reunited with his beloved Mr.
Ramshaw. Knowing the man as do l can say
that it would have been a tragedy if that
unique bird had been lost. He thinks almost as
much of Ramshaw as you do of your right eye
The Captain by the way, almost sacrificed
his left eye to his all-absorbing passion for
falconry.
That was while he was having slow motion
pictures taken of another eagle in flight. As
rule he wears fencing mask while he is

But l thought I'd look like fool on

everything would be all right, although the
eagle we were photographing was Grampian,
a large female with wing spread of seven
feet. kipling's epigram is perfectly true about
these birds: the female of the species is more
deadly than the male - also larger, heavier,
more powerful.

UNIFORM

By use OF the cooperation
weapon, a number of problems
have been solved whic hno state
alone nor the federal government
could touch. A number of states
have passed uniform criminal eX-
tradition acts, uniform narcotics
acts, and uniform transfer of de-
pendentS acts which governs both
the transfer of dependents from
state 70 state and the settlement
OF workers.
The momentum of the interstate
cooperation movement is shown
by the fact that little more than
two years ago no official COM
mission existed. Then, New JerE
sey and Colorado, 1000 miles
apart, formed commissions. By
the end of 1895, nine states had
official interstate bodies and by
the end of 1886, seventeen states
were enrolled in the program.
Now, three-fourthS of the states
have fallen in line.
The program is supported by
contributions of the participating
states and the Spelman fund Of
