building will ill long felt want. Our
schools have been cOngested for a great
while. Several plans have been evolved
to relieve the situation, but not until the

made clear whereby the district could
eventually own building large enough

educational purposes. This plan has
heretofore been explained in the columns
of The Gazette.
Keith & WhitehOuse Of Spokane are
the architects. Architecturally the build
ing will be plain. There will be no use

Not the least bit of Kick was COM
ing after the managers of the Eastern
Connecticut league teams came out
of their meeting in the Central house,
Danielson, Sunday afternoon; that is,
not any worth mentioning. They mad
talked over the schedule which was the
main bone of contention, and they n
nally decided it would be a wise plan
not TO make any more changes. The
schedule arranged is satisfactory to
the three teams north Of Danlelson,
but the three teams south OF there feel
that they have been handed a little the
short end of the deal. Be that as 1t
may, the directors from the southern
end of the circuit decided to abide by
rhe playing plan adopted at the last
meeting and next Saturday they Will
pull their ball tossers out of winter
quarters to start the race for the flag
Manager Benoit of the Norwich
Taftville team was anxious that the
schedule be revised as were also Far
rell of Wauregan and McBroome OF
Jewett City. but was very CONSIDER
ate of theFbest interests of the league,
posted his forfeit money and agreed
to try to go out and win another PEN
nant under conditions that are not
lust as he would like to have them.
That the different managers are
really interested in each others well
fare and want to see the league pros
per %as again demonstrated, though
some of them were obliged to give a
little ground for the sake of harmony.
There was not a single instance of
wrangling over players reserved by
any of the teams, a far different state
of affairs than preceded the opening of
the league last season. This was rath-
er surprising in view of the fact that
all of the teams have new men.
President Reeves announced that his
staff of umpires would be the same as
at the closing of last season. Henry
Caisse of Putnam, Joe White of Web
ster and Arthur Roy of Jewett City
will try and keep the teams playing
according to the rules, and they have
all demonstrated that they can deliver
the goods SO watch for some good
games at the opening next Saturday.
Norwich Taftville opens at Wauregan,
Dayville at North GrOsvenordale and
Putnam at Jewett City.
Long practice hours will be the rule
for this week. and when Saturday rolls
around the fans will hear the old IA

The Norwich Taftville team Of the

team of the r. I.-Conn. league. The

pions of a year ago, and showed that
Manager Benoit will need a strength
ened lineup if he is to present for
mtdable front next Saturday at Wau-
regan. when his team opens the season
there.
Manager Benoit was without a catch
er to start with. as "Backer" Larowe
had a sore back and was holding a
place in the outfeld. In his place be-
hind the bat was a Preston City can
didate by the name of Miller, who sign
ed his own death warrant in the first
inning by showing his utter inability
to catch Bill Boucher and he was der
ricked to celter field "Backer" going
behind. the bat. Miller tried it again
in the fourth with Jim McCIafferty
pitching, but Jim was forced to lob
them over for the catcher, and after
two innings, in which Westerly scored
II runs, Captain Jack Casey went be-
hind the bat and showed how the job
should be done for the rest of the
game.
The one bright feature of the after
noon was a running catch by Dryer OF
Westerly in centcc field, when he grab
bed the ball at his shoe tops, fell and
rolled over, but came up with the ball
held fast.
Manager Benoit had two other new
recruits on the team, McSheffrey of
Taftville at third and Burdick from
Preston in left field. Captain Jack
Casey and the old guard from last
year, including Bill Boucher, the twirl-
er, worked in good form, and the two
new men also showed ability. Nc
Sheffrev was a little unsteady at third
but Burdlck handled in good shope one
fly that came to him and also poled out
two safe hits. He was told to report

ACADEMY WINS.
Defeats Open House Team in First
Game, II to 6.

The Academy baseball team under
Captain Noyes won its first game Of
the season Saturday afternoon on the
Academy campus, defeating the Open
House team under Capt. Floyd Christ
man, II to 6. Until two awful heaves
from third by Sullivan in the same
inning, clearing the bases on the first
one and letting in two more runners
on the second, the game stood some
chance of being a close contest, but
the Academy cinched the game by
scoring seven runs in this unlucky in
ming for Open House.
A side issue that added to the ex-
element was beautiful dog fight that
Steve Ricketts, broke uD with a bat.
Ricketts, was also strong with the slap
stick in the game, leading the hitters
with brace OF two baggers. Coach
TirrelI made It largely a tryout game
for his most promising recruits, put
ting in a new bunch in a number Of
positions after the fifth inning.
Jack Gallivan twirIed the first three
innings for the Academy, and there
was nothing doing for the Open House
batters. Ted LAWYER then went out on
the firing line and performed with
credit and Captain Moves finished up
the last three innings, showing his old
effectiveness against the opposing bat
tiers. The game gave a line on the
abilities Of the different men and will
assist in picking out a, team this week
in time for Saturday, when the Acad-
envy has its first league game with
Windham high at Willimantic.

box and Drake behind the bat were q

TIE WITH STERLING
Two Goals on Each side-Norwich
Plays Sharp Game With Substitutes
IN


The Norwich Association football
team played Sterling a tie game, 2 to
2 at Sterling on Saturday, which was
doing well for the locals, as they were
weakened by the absence of several
of their regular men, while Sterling
had strengthened up with players from
Certerville and Crompton.
At 8 o'clock Mr. French. the ref
cree, line up the following teams:
Norwich-Goal, H. Finlaysonfi backs.
Andrews, Ferguson; halves, c. White,
Critchley, Musgrave; forwards, Hill
ton, W. White. A. Finlayson, McComb,
Parsons.
Sterling-Goal, Kennedy halves,
Cardinal, Clayton, Osteerlund, Cham
berlain, A. Shorrock; forwards, Lar
row. McGovern. Brown, T. Shorrock,
Williamson.
In the first period Sterling started
off at a sharp pace, but Norwich de-
Tended well, and Critchley Finlayson
and Hilton showed some pretty team
work on the attack. Sterling scored
both it's goals in this half, Shorrock
being responsible for the first after ten
minutes of play, and Larrow scored
with a fast cross shot. The score at
half time stood: Sterling 2, Norwich O..
After a short breather the teams
faced round. Sterling attacked viii
vigor, and Finlayson handled two or
three raSpers in rapid succession. Fer
gusonf aveated a disaster by knocking
McGovern flying just as he was
steadying himself to school. Critch-
ley, Who was playing a stor game at
half, let Parsons and McComb away,
the former slipping the ball across to
Finlayson. The latter beat Chamber
llain and sent in a low grounder which
passed between Kennedy's legs and
| opened the Whites account. This re-
verse seemed to sting the dark blues
and they set a terrific pace, but the
whites defense was too solid. Critch-
| ley's blocking was a sight for the gods
