Britain Against Boston.

That youngster, Cummings,or real
ly Coyle, who was picked up in the
skating rink by the New Britain team
on Friday night, came mighty near
making good. He never played in a
polo game before, but he was a whirl-

awoke to the fact that they were be-
ing beaten by four men and boy,
they became frantic and barely nosei
out the game. Jean gave young
Coyle So at the end of the game and

ISOLATION were initiated in the Ly-
ceum last evening. The officers
formed the degree team. The Cadets
the past few months have been
rapidly increasing their membership
until it begins to look as though II
would be once more one of the most
powerful social clubs in the city.
A few years ago the Cadets were
mighty strong, but the members be-
gan to drop, many of them left town,
others married, until the roster
looked like henpecked rooster. But
the members now in are taking an
active interest in the welfare OF the

is thought the final game OF the
series will be played Friday night.
The Bones are now going along rap
idly and apparently have good
chance of beating the Hustlers, who
have lost two of their last three
games. The lineup: Bones-H.

Hustlers-Devine, forward, Gwilym,

final games will be played Friday
night. The second game last night
developed into a farce, the Crescents
making twenty points while the
Shamrocks were rolling up ten. The
Shamrocks simply lay down in the
second half and allowed the Cres-
cents to toss baskets as they pleased.

DIRECTORS WON'T
DEEPEN SEWER
DR.. William E. Harris Must
Do 1t Himself, Street
Directors Decide

In requesting the Street and Sewer Di-
rectors this morning to deepen the Tenth
street sewer so as to adequately drain the
cellar Of an apartment house he proposes
to erect on Tenth street. at Orange, DR..
William E. Harris incidentally leetured
the directors on requiring the builders OF
the DUPONT and the Y. NJ. c. A., buildings
to pay for the deepening Of the Tenth
street sewer for those buildings. The city
should not charge properties for doing
what the city should very evidently have
done itself in anticipation of such large
buildings and deep cellars, he asserted
The directors, however thought that the
city should not impose a burden on tax
payers in order to deepen the sewer TO
meet a specific. rather than general pur-
pose. They accordingly told Mr.. Harris
that he himself. like the other builders.
would be obliged to pay for the deepening
Of the sewer ''Well, 1 can't do that" said
DR.. Harris, grabbing his hat.
This matter actuated considerable dis
cussion later. President Melvin feared that
by refusing DR.. Harris request the di-
rectors might hold up Improvements on
Tenth street.

him for nothing that we charged a phil
