vote of % to IL for an unfavorable
report on the White bill providing
for the transfer.
The bill had the ardent support of
Chairman Eagles, of the committee,
and of B. B. Everett, OF Halifax.
But it ran into irresistible opposition
when Odus Null, Larry Burgin and
Sam Worthington went to the mat
against it.
Mr.. Null didn't want to give the
board of trustees of the Greater Uni
versity composed OF 100 men, few
of them actual farmers, control of
so much of the agricultural fund.
He declared that the board of agri-
culture knew what it was doing, but
that there wasn't enough agriculture

al sense among the 100 university

Activity of the Farm Bureau of

lege and the department was
brought into the discussion by Rep

defeat. Notice was given Of a mi

How can baseball be the national

Another evidence of the bi-cam-
eral nature Of the General Assembly
came in debate over the revenue
bill when certain senators voiced
alarm at the way the House of Rep
resentatives were boosting appro-
priations. Senator Tom Long wasn't
ready to vote on third reading of the
bill unless Finance Chairman Pat
Taylor would say that he as chair
man of the committee was satisfied
it would balance the budget.
Senator Taylor fidgeted a little
and tired to avoid direct answer,
but Senator Long insisted. Then
President Horton interposed the OBJ
servation that the action reported
from the House was certainly indi-
cative of the trend of Legislative SEN
timent, but he reminded the sena-
tors that one branch of the assembly
was not bound by any action in the
other. Mr.. Horton further suggest
ed that, if necessary, a supplement-
airy revenue bill could be passed
later. With that observation both
Senator Taylor and Long expressed
satisfaction, and the 1899 revenue
act passed its third reading in the
Senate.

At the other end of the age scale,
the House extended all it's courtesies
to Gibson James, who sat in the leg
stature with Rowan's Pete Murphy
no less than AZ years ago. James is
from Fender.
Murphy pointed out that they
they were members of a Democratic
minority. incidentally, Pete is the
only Democrat in the legislature
who ever was a minority member,
something which perhaps for his
sturdy defense of the right of the
present minority Republicans to rep
resent their counties with all the

TURCOTTE, ZODDA
 AT BROCK" TUESDAY

West Haven, July 24-Joey Zodda of New York won two straight bouts at the White City Stadium this sum- mer, scoring handily over Eddie Mays of Hartford and Frankie Rish of New Bedford-but there are more than a few willing to wager he does- mt run the streak to three.
 The reason is that he fights Dick Turcotte of Waterbury in the feature bout of six rounds on Tuesdays card, and fighting Turcotte is re- garded generally as akin to suicide. Not long ago Turcotte knocked off Bobby Cummings at the Rock and this past week scored his 18th straight pro victory with one-sided win over Joe Triano in a Waterbury bout. Triano went to the limit, but he was up and down so many timet the fans thought he was an eleva- tor.
 There will be ten bouts on the card with leading semi-pro fighters listed for action from New York and Connecticut.

Stellar Takes Tennis Title
 After 5 Sets

John Stollar, Chase Parks free swinging representative, captured the Hamilton Park singles tennis title when he defeated John Tata, north end tailor, in the finals of the mems tournament yesterday after noon on the Idylwood courts before large audience by scores of 6-4, 2-6, 3-6, 60, 6-3. The two brilliant finalists gave great exhibition with Stollar being the outstanding in his very natural, hard and free swinging game.
 Stollar took the first set GA, but in the second and third sets Tata flashed his best form, worked his excellent net game to his advantage and won them 6-2, 6-3. It looked as though Tata would have an easy time taking the next set but Stol- lar defeated him in a love set and them proceeded with stamina and speed that was too much for Tata to win the last set decisively with a 6-3, score.
 Stollard deserved the title and the East End Community club trophy, symbols of the champion ship, because he displayed a brand of fast and hard tennis superior to that of any other contestants. Tata's excellent net game was insurpas- sable at time but Stollar played 8 long game keeping Tata back to the base lines most of the time.
 Stollar was presented with the East End Community club trophy by Lawrence Kenney, president of the organization. Ray Phaneuf, local banker, as umpire turned in an ex- cellent performance as did the lines- men, Joe Whalen, Dom Antonacci, Jim Lord and George Crandall. George Lord was the ball boy for the match.
