Inform The Times
If the Gas Meter
Isn't Satisfactory

So many complaints have
come to The Washington Times
concerning excessive gas bills
that this paper is anxious to know
how generel is the practice of
overcharging.
There is apparently no rela-
tionship in a large share of cases
between the amount of gas used
and the amount registered by the
meters.
Complaint IS constantly made
that meters keep right on work
ing all summer when families are
out of town and houses closed up.
Why?
The Times asks every gas con-
sumer whose experience involves
these or like troubles to commun-
icate the facts to this paper.
Please sign your name, with ad-
dress; IT viii not be used publicly
unless with your consent
The Times wants every case of
this kind, and wants it at once.

HEADERS LOSE GAME.


 Norwich, Aug, 3J. In their final ap- pearance this season at Sachem Park Holyoke was defeated by the home team to 1, in game played in, fast time. A fly dropped by Golden and Grubbs hit saved the losers from a shut out. Plank had terrific speed which the Holyoke batters were un- able to solve and both pitchers showed fine control as not pass was issued Two fmnbled grounders by Grubb and Massey, Accorsinis hit and Bakers poor throw to the plate gave Norwich three runs in the fourth. The final came in on Cote's single after Perkins had doubled. Features were catches by Dowd and Golden and the work of Pastor and Soffel. The score:

PEQUoTs CLAIM CAME.

Referring to the published state- ment that the Crescents won the last Saturdays game from the Pequots by the score of 4 to 8, would like to say that this statement is untrue, and that the Crescents won by the score of 3 to 9. In the last half of the ninth inning with the score 3 to 2 in favor of the Pequots and with three men on bases for the Crescents and two out Ross, the next batter, stepped into wide outcurve and was hit He ran to first base and the man on third came home. The umpire did not know how to give the decision and didn't say anything. Tn the meantime, while the dispute was going on, Huga came home and the Crescents claimed the game on dead ball
 It is impossible for the Crescents to claim the championship of the city.
 MANAGER OF PEQUOTS.
 Since both teams clann the cham pionsl1ip the best way to settle the matter would be to play another game. The Pequots lost the first game and if they had been beaten Saturday would have lost the series. If the Pequots win the game, if another should be played, both teams will each have won one, and rubber would then have to be played to decide the championship.
