Robinson. Washington's abbreviated
shortstop, broke into the game yester-
day. and perhaps his poor showing is
attributable to his game ankle. Three

the record of his days work, and one

since Al came In for a gruelling at the
hands of the Babes. Orth has shown a
strange reversal of form this year. One
day he pitches an invincible game, and
the next he goes in and is lambasted
to the four corners OF the lot, and, in
a few instances. out of the lot. since
home runs have been frequent at his
expense
Joe Martin has taken a slump in his
batting the past few days, but We can
forgive the boy for most anything these
days, in lieu of his past performances
If ever a youngster broke into a game
and infused new life into his comrades,
who knew so little of his capabilities,
that boy is Martin. He hit Ike a fiend
for a While, and it is hoped his batting
eye Will soon return.
In any event, his fielding is above
par, and out -of-town scribes are tum-

comiums upon his modest head.

 The National Fraternal League, which furnishes sick and accident in- demnity for Masons only, has quite strong membership locally. John w. Hoyt has once more taken the local agency, succeeding Joseph Levy, who removed to Bridgeport. MT Hoyt has sent out the following circular to Ma sons in this vicinity: "As a personal favor to you I enclose a copy of a booklet recently gotten out by the National Fraternal League of New Haven, and if it is not asking too much
 I wish you would read it carefully. I know what the League is and what it is doing and in urging you to join our
 New Milford membership, I am doing you a great favor. When the League
 first started accepted the position of
 local secretary for New Milford but
 for business reasons resigned in favor
 of Brother Levy, who acted until he
 removed. Having again accepted the
 position and knowing about the
 League as do, it is my intention to
 urge every eligible Mason in New Mil
 ford to- insure in it. It costs some
 thing, but the satisfaction one feels in
 knowing that he is amply and honest
 ly protected in case of sickness or acci-
 dent is of itself worth the cost. There
 are now 35 members in New Milford,
