Sydney Marland and Wallace Paine expect to sign articles to play basket ball with the fast Webster professional team today Friday.
 Messrs. Marland and Paine are two of the best and fastest basketball play CTS that have ever been developed In eastern Connecticut, and they will be a great addition to the Webster team, which is regarded as one of the fastest in New England. Last year the two players were the leading factors in winning the championship of Eastern Connecticut as members or the' Dam ielson Y. M. c. A. team. They are both in the 200 pound class-strapping, big oungsters-capable of taking care They both tower over six feet in height and Webster fans may expect to see them figure prominently in the victor oeS of their team.
 Greeks to Return Home.
 It is said that some of the young Greeks employed in the factories in and about Danielson are preparing to return to Greece, where they may be needed to enter the arm for service in an impending war with the Turks. A few of tn. Greeks have already left Danielson for their native land. The Greeks in this vicinity have become qulIS uuiuerOuSs DSlHS IuOSIly 6IuplOyeu in factories.
 Tedious Delay Due to Wreck.
 A wreck in the yards just outside tl6 Boston terminal station was re- sponsiDle for hours of delay in the aIriva! of several Danielson holiday visitors who make their home in Bos- ton Several coaches of an inbound train were derailed where the tracks are grouped in a narrow neck in the yards and all traffic was tied up as a consequence. The train due to leave Boston in time to permit passengers fer Danieisor to arrive here at little after o'clock did not leave the Boston terminal until after II; in the mean tlne these belated patrons waited in the trainshed, not knowing at what time they would be able to start on thier journey. The train arrived in Putnam after 1 o'clock Thanksgiving morning, and the tired, disappointed travellers found a special train await ing to take them to Danielson and points south. At Blackstone the train picked up a number of other passen- gers who had come up from Provi- dence, Pawtucket and other stations and were waiting for the Boston train to get them to Putnam. It was a cold, dlsccuraging experience that the holi- day Nisitcrs were subjected to, but it ccu;d not be helped.

large crowd, mostly ladies, grew enthusiastic at the r. M. c. A. gymna- sium Thursday evening at the opening contest of the basketball season locally between teams representing the Thread City Cycles and the Grex club. The games was stubbornly fought, both teams being fairly we'll matched. The Cycloes lead at the half way mark, 11-4-, Tculs were committed repeated " by both sides but the Grex club was the greater offender, although less frequently penalized. All of the fouls were called ir the first half with a single exception.
 In the second half the game increas- ed in speed, and neither side scored for the first six minutes, when Morse of the GreX club shot two baskets from the floor in quick succession followed almost immediately by another by Burns. The score was closest at this point, but st no time did the Grex club forge to the front. The Cyclers won team play, Card and Lyman showing for the winners and Thompson and Moss for the Grex club.

TRAINS DELAYED
By Wreck Outside 5oston-Ststion
 Crowded With Wearied Travellers.

Until the very small hours of Thurs day morning the railroad station in this city was the stop ocer point for a larger number of delayed holiday trav- elers than is often the case. Things went bad so far as connections were concerned all the afternoon, and train after train came and went away off their regular running schedule.
 Strangely enough, the severe storm had little to do with the trouble. A wreck just outside the Boston South Terminal station created the worst tangle and the New London boat train, that should have been in Putnam at o'clock, did not reach here until g. lit- tie after 1 o'clock Thursday morning. About two score shivering and sleepy messengers bound to Norwich and in termediate points found themselves stranded here in. the middle of the night and with great opportunity to kick over a condition of affairs that was the fault of no one in particular, but more the result of untoward cir cumstances. Some of the tired ones went to local hotels, and others wait ed for a special train to be made up that got them to their destinations in tine for very early breakfast. Attawauaan Church to Observe Annl-
 versary.

Notes.

Up to 2 o'clock Thursday evening there had been but one arrest made in the city during the day and that was plain case of drunk.
 Thanksgiving day was big day for all liverymen in the hack business and the drivers were hardly given an op- portunity to eat their holiday feasts.
 A number of sports from this city journeyed to Central Village Thurs day and witnessed the Barnes-Collins wrestling match and came away well satisfied with the sport.
 Practically every store in the city was closed Thanksgiving day and a number of strangers were heard 10 make the remark that this must be very strict holiday observing town. The drug stores were all closed, which is a new thing this year.
 Trains over the Central Vermont and the New Haven roads through this city were in most cases little late all day and throughout the evening. Holiday travel seemed to be unusually heavy this year. which is pretty good indication that we are in the midst of prosperous times.

WlLLIMANTIc
No Football Game on Thanksgiving Aftsrnoon-cause; Bad Weather ol Gold Feet. or Both.

The much talked about football game scheduled for Thanksgiving morning on | Mindham field between the Cyclones and the Dyers'F elevens failed to ma terlallze and the few rooters who gathered early on the grounds got tired of waiting for the teams to put in an Appearance and went home thor oughlS disgusted
 It was almost an impossibflity to md any of the players of either outfit about the city or suburbs all day. The bad weather and the sloshy condition Of the field are said to be the real reasons for not playing the match.
 Captain Baker of the Cyclones made the statement that his team was will ing to take chance and play the game but that the dyehouse bunch ad- vocated the cancellation of the game. He intima6ed himself that after the Overs f9und out what a formidable lineup they would have to face that they experienced cold feet.
 An endeavor will be made to get these two particularly classy teams to- gether before cold weather sets in in earnest and possibly such a meeting may be arranged for Saturday after noon or the following one at the lat est when the differences will be set tied for keeps as to which Is the pre- mier football eleven of the Thread City.

HAS BEEN INCORPORATED.
KiIi;ngIy Tri-Villase Baseball Assoeia-
 tier to Have One Team.

The Killingly Tri-Village Baseball association has been incorporated and articles of association granted by the secretary of state.
 Tie iacorporators are H. Clinton Att wood, Clinton Atwood, E. D. Clark, of WillIamsville; Clarence H. Truesdell. Ein.sr Wood Attawaugan; Frank l.. Bennett, Ballouviile; Attorney Sabin $. Russell. Dayville.
 The chiect of the association is the promotion of interest and spirit in baseball in the villages interested and to unify their strength in one tame that is to be presentative of them all. Last year all of the villages had good independent teams, but there was the unfortunate circumstances of conflict ing dates. a condition that injured the financial success of all the teams, as well as lessening the interest, or at least diverting it.
 The new arrangement will do away with all these objections. The incor- poid;ors gre representative of all the bics manufacturing plants in the vil- lages named, and they have the means and the solid backing of the fans, which means in a nutshell that they will be heard from next summer. It means one baseball team that will make the other trolley line aggrega- tions take notice. In, all probability the Tri-Nillage team will be mem bar of the Eastern Connecticut league. being merged with Dayville. This will be good news to fans in all parts of the town of I<illfngly and means good srort for them during the coming sea- son. A meeting for the election of officers of the association will be held soon.

PUTNAM 5e. JEWETT CITY 15.
Local Players Run Away With Thurs
 days Game.

Putnam smothered Jewett City in the basketball game in Hammond hall Thanksgiving afternoon. The score was Putnam 56, Jewett City 15. It figures that way under the system in general use of counting two points for a field goal and one for foul goal. Scoring under professional rules, one point for a field goal and one-half point for a foul goal, the score was Putnam 2s, Jewett City 71-2. The reader can choose between the two systems; the proportion is the same.
 Putnam ran away with the game. and the 300 rooters who were out to see the sport found the game interest ing if not as close as desirable.
 N. Dupre and Lizotte shone as the particular scoring stars for Putnam, the former geeting eight and the latter seven field goals.
 Four Dupres played on the Putnam team during the game, and these strong players recalled the days when they battled for Putnam in the old Eastern Connecticut Basketball league. EHeu- reux and Boutwell, played well for the visitors.
 The summary:
 Putnam-A Dupre re, Bonin and h. zotte If, N. Dupre C. F.. Dupre rb, Cha bot and D. Fupre ID.

 Dreary Holiday Weatherwise.
 Thanksgiving day out of doors was dreary and quiet in Putnam. The bus mess part of the town was locked up during the afternoon. and with the streets ankle deep with slush, drizzling rain and the fog that shut in early, there was little to tempt the members of many happy gatherings to brave the inclemency of the weather. There were many visitors here for the day some of whom will stay until after Sum daY
