VERY FAST CAME
 WON BY CANAAN
FROM THE TWISTED Y. M. c. A..
Hard-Fought Battle Ends in Favor of the Local Quintet by a Score of 20 to 18-Some Rough Playing on the Part of WinSted.

As predicted in last weeks NEWS the basketball game Saturday evening at the town hall between the WinEted Y. NJ. c. A. team and the Canaan five proved to be hummer. It was one of those games that keeps the nerves at full tension and the hair on end; one of those games where the result was in doubt until the last basket was thrown.
 The Winsted team was composed of giants compared with the local boys, but they showed lack of teamwork. Individual plays were numerous and some of them brilliant, and if they had played a good team game the final score might have been different Thompson, in particular, played very steady game aud covered his position well. As shown by the summary he made five of the eight floor goals.
 Canaan played its regular we'll bal anced game, as usual teamwork being more noticeable than individual plays. If any one of the five could be said to do better work than the others, the credit should go to WIgglesworth, as, in Thompson, he had the hardest player to guard and did it well.
 In the first half it looked as if Canaan would win by good sized margin, as, at the end of the half they had made l3 points to their opponents 5. But in the second half either the Winsteds took 8 brace or the Canaans weakened, as the borough boys nearly reversed the score of the first half, making l3 to the Ca- naans 2. But they could not make quite enough to go home winners.
 The only unpleasant feature of the game was the rough playing, at times, of the visitors. In the excitement of & close game some rough playing is ex- pected, but in few instances the Win sted boys went little too far. However, as our boys won, we do not feel like making very serious kick.
 A four.horse sleighload of young men and young women came up from Win sted to see the game, and if they did not see their home team win, they had a mighty good sleIghride.

WH|TTLESEY HOUSE
 BURNED ID GROUND
FINE RESIDENCE .15O YEAR6 OLD
Blaze is Thought to Have Originated From Hot Ashes-Some of the Val uabIe Antiques Were Saved Judge WhittIesey Seriously Burned.

About 9:30 Tuesday morning fire broke out ill the back part of the residence of Miss Frances Whittlesey, which is situated about midway between East Canaan and Canaan on the upper road. An alarm was immediately sent out, and help came promptly, but with no facilities for fighting fire nothing could be done except carry out furniture and save everything possible. A large quantity of valuable antique furniture somewhat damaged. Considerable an- tique silverware, which was stored in the upper rooms, was lost.
 The origin of the fire was reported to but the family state that their ashes were always put into 8 galvanized can and that the fire could not have started there.
 The house was occupied by Miss Whittlesey and her brother, Judge David WhittleseY of the probate court, and was one of the oldest houses in town. It had been in the Whittlesey family for more than a hundred years. and was formerly the home of Rev. Pitkin Cowles.
 The place was known as "The Grove" deriving It's name from the clump of trees which surrounded the house, and was one of the old historic landmarks of this section.
 Judge Whittlesey was quite badly burned about the face and right hand while carrying furniture from the burn ing building.
 The lost is estimated at nearly $4.000 and was partly covered by insurance.
