TODAY'S GAME MEANS MUCH TO
 B. H. s. NINE
Rank Deal Handed Our
 Boys May Not Avail
Tricky Manipulation and Manifestly Unfair Sched- lue Overcome By Park City Grit-What We Had to Contend With.

By defeating New Haven High school yesterday afternoon at Milford, by the
 score of so, Bridgeport High is cham pion of the Western division of the
 Connecticut Interscholastic Baseball league and will today play Westerly High, champions of the eastern divis-
 ion in New Haven on Yale Field.
 This is the first time that Bridgeport High has played in the baseball finals since 1902, when they met and were de- Yale Field 7-4. In 1901 when they had and Frank Lallsy they met and de- feated Buckley High of New London in great ten inning battle by the score of 8-7. Bridgeport can lay her claim to be in the finals tothe great box work of Jason Malcolm who has been with them two seasons, and has been their mainstay.
 That all the clubs of the league rec ognized the worth of the Bridgeport team was clearly demonstrated at a league meeting held the fore part of the week when the game Bridgeport played in Middletown on Saturday was declared won by the Middletown team, 3-2. Only -four and one-half innings had been played, when the Middletown boys left the field, declaring that the Wesleyan college team wanted the field. Bridgeport protested as no agree ment Tad been made before the game, Middletown's end was upheld at the league meeting. To make matters worse the league directors showed a schedule on the local lads that would kill almost any team, the> magnates knowing that we had only one relia- ble pitcher. Wednesday we had to play Meriden, Thursday, Middletown, and yesterday New Haven. We took our by defeating them all on the field, and not at the meetings. En- thusiasm has been aroused among the old members of the school, who will be on hand this afternoon to cheer our lads on to victory. Should you notice a parade about town tonight with Rah Rah boys in line, you will know that High are the 'champs'' of the two divisions of the league.

LONG LOST WEDDING RING DISCOVERED
 AFTER 30 YEARS
The Christopher Columbus of This Episode Is None Other Than M. B. Brew Ster-Greene.

Some thirty years ago when the In-
 dian summer was at its height Kepler
 H. Nichols led home to his farm in
 Stratfield a newly married wife. He
 wore a plain gold band wedding ring which he held dear because of what it represented. Soon after his mar riage he settled back into the daily routine of a farmers life and while en- gagged in his work lost the ring. It was not found until the next spring, when MT. Nichols recovered it while raking leaves from the lawn. A few years later MT. Nichols Awas engaged in constructing a dam PIatts Mills ring disappeared, but kas soon re- gained by draining theHstrean. The fatal third time wasx R2itaIble and true enough Ndr. Nichen Ind the ring separated again.
 MT. Brewster-Greene, secretary of the Bridgeport Manufacturers associa- ton, has of late been perusing the Georgies and Bucolics of Virgil and the odes of Horace which sing the de- lights of rustic life and has bought him farm in the little village of Stratfield, where he has placed certain objects in the ground and has fervent- 1y prayed ever since that these will sprout and bear much fruit. Recently while pulling weeds from about hiss tender plants MT. Brewster Greene chanced to glance upon a shiny object, partly buried in the ground. It proved to be gold ring on the inside of which appeared the initials 'fK. H. N. to L. H." By another, twist of fate MT. Brewster-Greene immediately glanced to the roof of his nearest neighbor, and there beheld, perched aloft sign which read, ''Kepler H. Nichols, Shade and Fruit Trees" A little s. Holmes work and MT. Brewster-Greene was mentally divining things apropos MT. Nichols.
 The finder of the ring straightway made his way to the Nichols home not with SO much desire to see it re- stored to its owner as to catch a sup posed pOacher in a. trap. The laugh was on MT. Brewster-Greene for MT. who, for the moment, was ov- ercOme with emotion, explained the of the ring and told how it had been missing for over thirty years. MT. is now pulling weeds and saying nothing.
