Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-03-18
BROOKLYN BRIEFS.


 guest of D. J. Mahaney of l309
 Bank street.
 Charles Trallis of South River
 side street, while working at the
 plant of the Waterbury Brass Goods
 corporation yesterday, had his right
 foot crushed. A truck went over IL.
 A couple of "panhandlers" were
 in Brooklyn yesterday trying to find
 a little easy money. One pretended
 to be a mute, but the other was a
 glib talker. The man with the ever
 wagging tongue would try to work up feeling for his unfortunate friend,
 but so far as is known there was nothing doing. Business was so bad that after repeated attempts to raise the price of high one the fellow enacting the role of the dummy said, Tt won't work; let's cut it out"
 The six round boxing exhibition between "Chick" Leahy and Young Gardello in Seymour last evening
 came to an unsatisfactory ending in the second round, when "Chick" was disqualified by Referee Madden for hitting in clinches. The boys had agreed upon a clean break, and although Leahy was warned by the referee he continued to wallop at all times. So after minute of fighting in the second round the bout was stopped. Two or three from this section took in the exhibition. There were a couple of other exhibitions on the programme.
 The game between the Brook lyns and South Ends last evening might have continued until morn ing, but the former would not have the boys from this section, for the Brooklynites have just as good staying qualities as any other team in the amateur league. The Brooklyn rooters say that the time of the last period was QQsiderably but it did not effect the score. William Lallier is kicking them out in a manner that would make Hogan" Clark jealous if he were in town. Last night he had his legs in front of all kinds of drives and booted them away like a vet eran.
 The unsightly billboard at the corner of Bank and West Porter will within short time be a thing of the past. In fact part of 1t was demolished this morning in order to make way for the three stores which John Fernandez is to erect on the property. It was thought that MT Fernandez would build a couple of large blocks on the land this spring, but he has changed his plans and will not have them constructed for another year 1t least. But ground has been broken for the stores and it will ,nly be few days when work is we'll under way. The billboard was never a thing of beauty and few if my of the residents will regret its 'emoval.
 Sailing serenely down the Naugatuck river in a large box, a ,outh from the west end was the ,ynosure of many pairs of eyes yes .erday afternoon shortly before 5 o'clock. The youth was doing lit- le cynosuring himself, and did it we'll. For he steered his craft along killfully by means of a long pole 1 lntil he was going underneath the Holmes, Booth & Haydens bridge. | There he was shipwrecked. Losing l lis bearings for a minute he slightly | ipped the box. He completely lost | lis head then and in his excitement | wamped his ship. He went down | with 1t, but the water was not too | Ieep to prevent the boy from reach ng shore. He was drenched from | lead to foot, his craft was gone, but | till the boy was game. He did not | worry much about the wetting he | eceived, but muttered something bout getting "a noseful of water"

 If you have to suffer from any of le ills that flesh is heir to, it may be ecessary to see doctor. The next nportant thing is to get your pre- .ription filled where you are sure of lreful attention and pure drugs. Falker. the Brooklyn druggist, fills le bill in this respect.
