Gen. Hiram Kendall commander of

won the gratitude and respect of the

treatment he extended to them during

1t may be a matter of surprise TO not

TO members Of the Judiciary to learn that
the members of neeves' American Band
are exempted from performing duty as

some time ago when Gene" Bosworth,
then of Central Falls and now OF Dem
YER. Col, the solo clarinetist of the band.
asked to be excused from serving on
Jury upon which he had been drawn.
What is your excuse?' said the court.
II am a member of the American Band
replied Mr.. Bosworth. The court looked
severely at the placid musician. and said
curtly: II fail to see any valid excuse In
your statement, sir" Gene said never
a word, but taking folded parchment
from his pocket, handed IT to the court.
Then came surprise. The paper was the
charter of the American Band granted
many years ago. and II contained clause
exempting the members OF the band from
Jury duty for ever.

The Blues defeated New London yes
 tardav afternoon at the Savin Rock
 grounds by the score of 6 to 2. Vollen-
 dorf, who pitched for New Haven, hao
 the visitors completely at his mercy al
 lowing them only three hits during the
 game. He struck out seven men anu
 sent one to first on balls. Vollendorf
 was very effective when men were on
 bases and when a hit meant run the
 New London batters could not touch
 him. Ouinlan and Cusick contributed
 all the errors to the New Haven col umn, their fielding not being up to the usual standard.
 The locals scored once in the opening inning. After Bone and Fitzmaurice flied out to Morgan and Morton, Leplhe poked out a two-bagger and came home
 on Kinney's error of Freil's grounder. A minute later Freil was thrown out while trying to steal second.
 New London failed to send man
 across the rubber until the fifth inning, when two runs were scored Lamar drew the only base that Vollendorf pre- sented during the game, but was tofc- ed at second by Connors. Kinney
 reached first on Cusck's error and Gal lagher was give life on Quinlans CT TOT. This filled the bases and with only one out it looked as though the three runners would be brought in The hopes of the fans went high, however when Vollendorf struck out Murphy. The next batter, Morton had two strikes on him when he rapped out long tWo- base hit, scoring Connors and Kinney Gallagher was advanced to third, but was left there as Woodruff's long fly was captured by Friel. This inning was the only one in which the visitors | had q chance to score
 New Haven tied the score in their l half of the inning. Duff led off with three-bagger, but was thrown out at the plate. Cusick reached first on fielder's choice and was scored on Quinlan's sin | gle.
