A few days ago Maurice Title of
Mansfield published a notice that his
wife, Mary Title, had left his bed
and board, and that he should pay no
debts contracted by her. Later devel-
opments. however, lead to the suspic-
ion that Mrs. Title had eloped with
a young man in Willimantic named
William Young. Young had been
driving bakers cart for Mulligan
Brothers, and he disappeared at the
same time as Mrs. Title, and is be-
lieved to have gone with her. About
one year ago Young was taken sick at
the little home in Mansfield, and, as
a result of his being cared for by the
Title family, it is said that Mrs.
Title and Young became infatuated
with each other.-Hartford Courant
The basket ball team of the Spring
field high school defeated the agricul-
tural college team here Saturday
night, 80 to 81. At the close of the
first half the score stood % to II for
the visitors. Manning and Cunliffe
shared the Springfield honors in the
line of heavy scoring; each got nine
baskets. Capt. Chapman of Storrs
made five and played the best all
around game for the college men.
One of his shots-a sweeping drive
into the cage from near the opposite
end of the court-was the best indi-
vidual thing of the contest. Messer,
the Springfield left guard, was the
victim of q rather serious accident
Windows, unprotected by screens of
any sort, flank the court, and through
one of these, in a moment of warm
blocking, Messer drove his right hand
The ragged edge of the glass cut a
deep cash in his wrist, from which
the blood spurted so fast that he was
quite faint before the flow could be
checked. The veterinary surgeon of
the college used six stitches in sewing
up the cut. HUM took the place of
the disabled player. The summary =
Springfield. Conn. Ayr. College.
