BY SEMI-PRO,

The West Hudson League is a thing
of the past. So announced President
John A. McKeon, of the Harrison A. c.,
yesterday. He said hat the withdrawal
of the Pathways from the league
threw out all the plans the other teams
in the circuit had made. There was
some doubt as to how the league would
exist when the Harrisons Joined the
Intercity league circuits. but McKeon
made this clear yesterday by saying
that the West Hudson League was a
thing OF the past.
II have entered my team in the
eight-club I~ntercity League and l think
that we will have a good circuit"
said McKeon. The Pathways and the
Arlingtons are in the other Intercity
League, so there ought to be some
rivalry across the Hudson over the
two leagues.
On Sunday afternoon the Harrisons
will play the ~Invincibie on Harrison
Oval. and all the West Hudson League
games are off.

Norwich bulletin., 1909-05-21

With much enthusiasm evident over | the prosperity of the organizatiin and with the delegates keenly interested in | the election of officers the twenty fifth annual encampment of the Con- necticut division, Sons of Veterans, opened at Bridgeport Thursday. The report of Division Commander pr. H. H. Gorton of Naugatuck was read at the morning session. It showed that one year ago there were 19 camps witr a total membership of 602. Today there are 21 camps with membership close to 800. Two large fourishing camps have been organized, Admiral Foote of New Haven with 40 members, and Abraham Lincoln No. 49, of Stamford. with a membership of 30 and a large waiting list. No camps have been suspended and but few sus-
 pensions are reported among the mem
 bers. Not in the history of the divi-
 sion" the report stated, "havewe shown
 the growth as well as the class of men
 taken in that we do this year"
 Referring to the Grand Army and
 Womans Relief corps, Commander
 Gorton stated that not in the history
 of the division have the relations been
 as close as they are today. Credit
 for this is given to Department Com
 mander Griswold. From the Woman's
 Relief corps many courtesies have
 been received. Speaking of Memorial
 day, Commander Gorton said Broth
 CTS Another Memorial day is at hand,
 with it's memories and duties. Let us
 one and all show our loyalty to that
 day b ylifting the burdens from the
 shoulders bowed with years. Your di-
 vision commander pleads with all
