So intensely interested are the cranks

that Bowling hall will be unable to

The would-be champions of the present
yeason. Where the pennant Will ma

hard to name, but there is one thlng
that can be said and that without any
chance Of contradiction, and that Is
whether the boys in blue and the pen
nant or not they are certainly hghtlhg
hard for it, and giving them the same
kind of luck that has followed the
Hartford players during the present
season, they would be just now head
and shoulders above the Others on the
league table. Never has team work
ed so hard and conscientiously to land
themselves at the top of the LADDER as
has Captain Caravan and his men, and
they fully deserve all the encourage
rnent and support that is being meted
out to them at present. Their victory
over Hartford on Saturday night was
a repetition Of Friday nights contest
at Bowling hall. Cotter and his men
were played to a standstill in the latter
part of the game. Tonight they meet
the champions from Providence, and as
Cunningham is again in the Grey s
ranks the game ought to be fast ana
closely contested one from the tllile
the referee gives the word go until the
gong sounds Their next game IS with
Meriden at Meriden Thursday night.
Fully hundred rooters accompanied
the team on it's last trip to the silver
City, and they have so vivid recollec-
tions of what they witnessed on that
occasion that they are going again
Thursday, and it is said that their
ranks will be swelled by at least
couple of hundred more. 1t is TO pc
hoped that the unseemly tactics that
were resorted to on the occasion OF the
Blues last visit will be omitted from
the programme of the night, and that
both teams will lay personal anlmoslty
to one side and play the game.
The Meriden team will come to BOWL
ing hall for return game on FRIDAY
night. The many friends of Whitney
will be glad to hear that his injuries
received at Meriden a couple OF weeks
ago have not turned out so serious as
was at first anticipated, and HOPE may
be seen in to-night's game.

SAYS IT'S THE POOR MANS COURT.
JUSTICE GAYNoR ATTACKS SOME PRACTICES OF
THE MUNICIPAL JUSTICES

The Municipal Court Is the poor mans court

probably ought to be abolished.
These words were part OF the decision handed
down yesterday by Justice Gaynor, in which he
says that a Municipal Court Justice has no right
to impose a trial fee of 81 a plaintin who OBJ
tains Judgment by default.
The decision was brought out by an application
for a peremtory writ OF mandamus against Justice
John j. Walsh. Of the Municipal Court, to compel
him to render Judgment In favor OF a plaintir
without exacting trial fee of So a condition
The defendant did not appear.
Justice Gaynor also took rap at the practice OF
Municipal Justices in turning summonses to
be served by private persons instead of author
lied marshals. In his opinion Justice Gaynor says
The rule made by the said Justices for the pay
ment OF the said fee OF 81 Is void in so far as il
embraces cases IN which issue has not been
Joined for trial. Nor such fee be exacted In
anticipation of an issue being joined. 10 be re-
funded II II is not joined a condition OF the
case being put the calendar and called
The plaintiff paid the fee of 81 and left the sum
mons TO be served by a marshal. But the Justice
Instead gave 1t TO a private individual and en-
powered him to make service. The Justice had no
right to exact fee for the making of such service
by private person, nor had he the right to en-
power such person to make such service without
the plaintiffs request.
