xsIvde Eitch's Joke.

"Clyde Fitch was an indefatigable worker" said an actor who has played in many of the Fitch comedies. When he had a play on the stocks he would labor over it day and night, often scarcely pausing for his meals and getting very little sleep; consequent ly his health suffered. He would work until on the verge of nervous break down, and then his physician would step in and force him to knock on.
 During one of these periods of en- forced idleness he was lounging in the Players club one day when Harry B. Smith, the prolific comic opera nbret- tist, strolled in.
 "'what are you doing nowP asked Smith.
 CT am in my doctors hands, replied Fitch. He tells me I'm in bad way and has absolutely forbidden me to do any brain work
 "'That's tough said Smith. How do you manage to put in the timer "Oh, I'm writing the nbretto of a musical comedyv replied Fitch, with one of his cynical smiles. ."-New York Times.

Local Gossip That Will Interest News

Saturdays baseball game between the Lakeville and East Canaan teams re- suited in dispute over which the Lake, ville's refused to finish the game, which at that time stood to 9. The disagree ment arose over hit by Sweeney far out toward the foul lines on which he scored home run. The umpire de- clared the hit foul and then reversed his decision. This riled the Lakeville boys, who held that having once decided the hit foul, the umpire had no right to reverse his decision. It was lively game while it lasted. Tierney the local pitcher, struck out IA men and only three hits were made off him. Two home runs, four doubles and five singles, at test to the hitting powers of the home team.
