City Five-Score 24-1

The basketball game Of the give and
take type was played Friday night in
the Y. NJ. c. A. gym between the Agri-
cultural college five and the Thread
City Cyclerss 1t was one of the fastest
on the local floor for a number of
years. The contest opened with the
college boys scoring from the floor and
for a number of moments it was
thought that the Cyclers would be
worsted, but toward the last Of the
half the Thread City boys began to
show form and closed the half with
the score IA. At the opening of the
second half il was apparent that the
Cyclers had struck their gait. Every
man on the home team played well.
while Councilman and Lawler excelled
for the college boys.

Captain Kelly stopped the game be-
tween Killingly and Windham Hlgh
schools at a seething point in the sec
ond half Friday evening to tie his
shoestring. Killingly was shooting
baskets with persistent regularity
about that time, things were going
awry with the league leaders. and
Kelley may have caused the delay to
change his luck. If that was his in
tent 1t helped some, for the visitors
experienced a revival thereafter and
cut down considerably the big lead
against them. 1t was a futile squirt,
however. and the last scheduled game
in the interscholastic league series
went to Killingly by the score OF 81
to &c.
The victory pulled the local school
up to even terms with Windham and
the season ends with the two teams
tied for first place. Killingly led every
minute of the game and was never
hard pressed. finishing the first half
with Is points and a lead of g. Except
for some indiscreet and unnecessary
long distance shooting they played a
pretty game. Their team work was
unusually good and was a big factor
in the result. Windham made a valiant
try for victory The visitors tried all
the basketball stunts set down in the
book at the other side OF the county
and for good measure introduced a
few tactics usually reserved for the
more strenuous game OF football. They
should have been more severely penal
ICED for some OF the rough work, but
Referee Gagne was lenient and let an
amount OF IL pass. Healy, the pony
forward of the Killingly team, made
the best individual showing of the
evening and his fine playing won him
frequent applause. Rainville was also
a big asset, getting four field goals and
playing a fine defensive game. Kelly
and Leonard shared honors in playing
for the visitors with four field goals
each.
An extra game viii now be arranged
between the teams to decide the cham
pionship.

home Of a friend on Walnut street.
The man had no particular residence,
so far as known. but has at various
intervals worked for Charles Turner of
Chaplin, and periodically came to this
city and tanked UP. Prior to his last
leave-ta taking of the Turner place he
appeared very strange, but 1t was
thought that 1t was simply a ruse to
obtain a leave of absence. Friday
morning First Selectman S. Arnold
Peckham applied to the probate court
for an examination and Drs. T. r.
Parker and John Weldon made an ex-
animation. 1t was found that he was
suffering from decisions and halucin-
ations; he was extremely restless and
talked incoherently. Judge Shea or
dered that the man be committed to
