SEMI-pRoF GAMES.
Benedict & Burnham Defeated the ,if RockEilles Yesterday,

One of the best semi-professional games that has been witnessed on the local grounds in many seasons was played out in Rockville yesterday aft ernoon between the Benedict and Burnham team, of this city, and the strong Rockville aggregation. It was a battle of pitchers, with Dubuc off, ciating on our side and Cornwall. a Hoboken slab artist, doing the turn for Rockville. There were many spectacular features in connection with the game that brought the ap- plause of the people present. Jack Barry was playing the short position for the visitors and in the third in- hing. when Tommy Lawlor ham, mered one past the pitcher, 1t looked like ready money for a safe hit. II was going with every ola kind of speed, when Barry, racing like a Suburban winner, scooped the ball up and landed it at first so quickly that the fans could scarcey realize it. When they did recognize the fact that the runner was out, they gave Barry good round of applause. Johnny Edmonds at short for the locals was just as speedy as his rival, killing Phoenix, formerly of the Bridgeport team of a bit in the very first in- ming and having seven chances all accepted cleanly. O'Brien in center garden for the visitors is the most peculiarly gaited man that ever went after ball. but once he started. he was there with the bells on. George Mulligan ended the game with a sem sational one hand catch that looked good for two bases had it got by him.
 While the locals scored in the very first inning It was not because of safe swats. Cornwall gave but one hit to the shop team in six innings. and that was triple by Dubuc. but the latter never reached the home station. Dubuc gave but four hits. but they came ouly one in each of four separate innings. and while at times it looked as though the visitors had found his alley. he was there with the goods and each time pulled himself out of a bad looking predIcament. Our first run came in this way. Johnny Ed- monds hammered one tu Barry in that first inning. but the Holy Cross boy had not fairly settied down to work. for be let 1t get away from him. A wild pitch gave Johnny second and on Phoenix fumbling Gilmartin's twIster. Edmonds came over the plate. There the score remained until the seventh inning. SlavIn was retired ln this inning and then Fred Henebry hammered one out for a safety.
 He took the count at second, how ever. on Tommy Lawlor's force. Tommy stole the second and thiri stations and raced over the plate with
 our second run on Johnny Edmonds' safe drive to right GTimsrtin th-e
 sent one to the fence and EduOnds came hone. GIlmartin tried to Esrrtch his triple into a homer and rns. tngezd at the receiving station.

THE DIAMOND
YERKES WON
 HIS LAST GAME
The Proud Holyoke. Were Hum, bIed in the Dust = Dan O'Neil
 Defied the Police.

Holyoke, June 22.-If Louie Le- pine had been equal to the occasion and pounded out hit in the eighth inning with two hands down and second and third bases occupied, Holyoke would have tied Waterbury yesterday afternoon and might eventually won out. But Louie was unable to deliver the necessary swat, and as another batting rally was nipped in the bud in the closing sec tion through a questionable decision by the umpire, Holyoke had to be satisfied with second place. The vis- itors early got after Cozy Dolan with their war clubs and dozen swats, five neat sacrifices, a cluster of pass es and the ever present misplays, de- veloped nine tallies. Up to the sixth Stanley Yerkes had the leaders standing on their heads, and then they began to get to him good and strong, seven hits and six errors bringing seven runs over the platter. The score:

BASEBALL NOTES
Well done Waterbury.

Waterbury and Holyoke are sched- uled to meet out in Rockville to-mor- row, too.
 Another man refused to leave the grounds when ordered to do so hy the umpire. Dan O'SeIl Is the guilty party this time.
 That game yesterday between the Benedict & Burnham team and the Rockvilles was ccrker and no mis- take. The Coe Brass people better look out the next time the R. &. R. meets them
 Rooters from Torrington and Win sted were at that game roofing for the RockviIles- They brought along some of the rowdy language of tho@e two villages as well. and used It lavishly.
 New Britain is to join the state league and now the fans over In that city should turn out and give the sport a good boost They will find Manager Humphrey a pretty good fellow to do business with
 The defeat of the three leaders ye< teriay gave Waterbury a good chance to get there and she did even at the expense of the premier leader of the league.

The same to you Benedict & Burn

The same to you Benedict & Burn ham.
 So enthusiastic were the fans over the playing of the Benedict X Burn- ham team yesterday that the manage ment has been asked to play more often and steps to that end are now being taken.

THE PUGlLISTS JEFF AND NOSE
 FIGHT A DRAW
Agreement Was Made Before Bat. tie Took Place e-Joe Grim is
 a Free Man.

New Haven, June 22.-The fact that Jeff Doherty, "The Pride of New Haven," has cultivated left hand wallop that does injury wher- ever it lands, was clearly shown last night at the ten round bout in Music hall with Mosey King, the clever lit tie New London fighter. The fight was declared draw, although Jeff had the better of six of the ten rounds.
 Referee McGinness of Boston an- nounced to the anxious crowd that the boys had decided to go ten rounds and would fight straight Queensbury rules, when McGinness announced that if in the tenth round both fighters were on their feet the bout would be called draw. Kisses and cries of "Lemon!" and Give us our money back!" followed this speech.
 In the last round both boxers, urged on by their supporters, tried to put an end to the bout by landing a knockout. Doherty forced the fighting again, but he could not con- meet with Kings chin. King also fought hard. and used clever boxing and science to the end.

oNEIL DIPPED POLICE.

Hartford June 22.-Tt was a tough game for the Ponies to lose and a great game for Hartford to win. And it took one extra inning and part of another to accomplish the feat, after Warren Mclaughlin had given the Senators quickly accepted chance to tie up with the Ponies in the ninth. From beginning to end the battle was hard fought, Hartford getting three of the five runs scored.
 To add to the excitement there came an interruption in the fourth that threatened for a few minutes to bring the game to an abrupt termin- ation. After Umpire McCloud had surprised the crowd by calling Stank. ard out at third, Manager 0'Neil of Springfield suggested that the offici- als range of vision was impaired and offered to loan him a pair of specs. "That'll cost you s5," said the most recent acquisition to John Kennedy's stan.
 Derisive laughs from the Spring field players greeted the imposition of the fine. but the umpire declared he heard an uncomplimentary remark from the Springfield manager and his ultimatum was. You get out of the grounds" Manager 0'Neil refus- ed to move and McCloud called for a policeman. Mir Policeman sauntered jauntily to the Springfield bench and the crowd yelped It's delight in an- ticipation of seeing the Springfield magnate routed in ignominy.
 But the anticipation was greater by far than the realization. For when the bluecoat approached him, he re- ceived his warning: You put a hand on me and see what will hap pen," said the visiting manager "Tm going to stay right on this bench and I'll spend s5,000 to get you if you modest me-" That was good enough for the copper and he retired discomfted, after saying he had been told by Manager Clarkin of Hartford to obey the instructions of the umpire and that he (ClarkinD would stand behind him.

He got free pass, made a flying leap from first to second and slid twenty or more feet, landing safely, duplicated the feat to the third station and, when Ennis made a miss of a thrown ball, dashed for home and the slide was worked to advantage again, McEnroe sliding over the plate and landing near the water pail with our last run of the game.

EDUCATION GOES A-BEGGING.

A few weeks ago a competitive ex-
animation was held in the Oakland
school house in order to award a scholar
ship to st. Mary's Seminary, in St.
Mary's county. The school is an excel
lent one, and yet there was but one
young lady in the county of Garrett
who showed enough desire for a larger
education to come forward and try to
win the reward. Surely in this day in
this section there are many who do not
prize sufficiently the advantages of an
education which the State offers free to
the young men and women within its
borders.
1t is not true that in all sections of
the State, however, that there is but
one who tries to win free scholarship.
In many of our counties there are often
fifteen or twenty young people who try
to win when one is about to be award
ed. Yet in our county of Garrett there
are seldom more that three of either
who try to secure one of these opport-
unities to be educated free by high in
stitution of learning.
There is not man or woman in all of
the United States who has reached the
age of thirty years who would regret if
he or she had better education. No,
not one. Every day makes it more diff
cult for the uneducated person to make
a living. 1t is true that men and women
have lived in days gone by who were
practically unlearned at all, yet who
won both renown and fame. Those men
and women, however, lived in another
year than 1907 and 1925; as the days go
by, everyone sees that the person with
an education has great advantages over
the ignorant. In these years the strong
est competitors of every man and wo-
man are educated. Therefore it behooves
every boy and girl today to seize every
opportunity for self-improvement, for
education, in order that they may be
better fitted to meet on equal grounds
the men and women with whom they
will live and with whom they will com
pete in 1925.
Surely, there should be more than one
try to win scholarship which gives the
privilege of being educated without
costing practically a cent.

NEW DEPOT FOR GRAFTON.
Information Has Been Received That
the Plans Have Been Approved by
Fitzgerald.

1t has been asserted on good authority
that Grafton is to have a new freight
depot. This depot will be located where
the present one stands but will be so
arranged that the entrance will be much
better. 1t has been proposed that the
building be two story one with the
freight department on the second floor
and the general offices on the first floor,
with an elevator running from the first
to the second floor. The entrance for
wagons will be from Latrobe street.
There will be bridge running from this
street to the building.
The old wholesale building owned by
the Pugh-Beavers Grocery company and
which was formerly occupied by the
Ruhl-Ko5legard Co., will be bought or
leased by the railroad company for the
storage of freight This will also have
an entrance on Latrobe street. The
estimated cost of this building is in the
neighborhood of 500, 900.
