playing of McOlelland at third was a feature of the game. He has been appointed captain of the team in place of O'Rourke, who has joined the Willimantics. Hurley covered first bag and took everything that came his way. Cobb played on the team for the first time this season, covering center field. He secured two base hits and two runs. Bronkie joins the Manchesters this week, and is booked to be in the box Saturday in @ game with Monson. His capture of a diff cult fly in the ninth inning prevented the visitors from at least securing a two base hit. Reeves of Norwich, 8 new man, was tried at short-stop, and seems to fill the bill. The team that Stafford had Saturday is good enough to play with many of the teams that have been generally considered too fast for them. With good support from the public faster teams can be secured to play against and the home team kept up to the present standing.

Bessemer, November 21.-(Special)-. Communications of friendly nature have passed between George H. Stevenson. president of the Bessemer board of trade, and T. H. Motion. president of the Bir- mingham Commercial cluD that will re- suit in great things both for this city and Birmingham if the idea expressed in these communications are carried out.

 club of Birmingham, and 1t Is further suggested that the two organizations work
 in harmony for the upbuilding of Bir-
 mingham and Bessemer in fact, the en-
 tire district

 sertion that the Commercial club was
 not interested in the growth of Birming-
 ham alone, but included the entire Bir-
 mingham district in it's efforts to secure industries, men and capital
 He pointed out the fact that Bessemer's s prosperity meant the prosperity of the entire district The entire section known as the Greater Birmingham district, is helped whenever an industry is located
 In any part of that section. An industry located. at Bessemer Is of great value not | only to Bessemer. but helps to increase the greatness of the entire district. MT.
 Motion suggests that there should be
 no rivalry between the two towns, and they should act in absolute harmony In all things since their interests are entirely mutual.
 MT Notions communication was re- ceived kindly by the members of the Bessemer board of trade. and at the next
 meeting definite steps will be taken to have the membership of the organization represented in the Birmingham Conner cial club.
