TIE THE STRONG ANNEX TEAM IN
 GAME ON UNLINED FIELD

| The State football championship is | still in abeyance Yesterday the | Thunderbolts amb1ed to New Haven, pions of that city, in 5-5 battle. It was the first time this season the NeF | Haven eleven have had their goal line crossed, and also marked the second l time the local team has been scored ! upon, the Thomaston eleven getting | that score in the locals first game | of the season.
 1 The contest was played on Annex 1 Field, which gridiron the Annex team l have left but once this season, that on | Thanksgiving Day when they played on Yale Field. winning the city cham pionshfp. The Annex boys have a fine field but they should get busy before another game is played thereon l to have the field lined off. The Thun- l derbolts believe that if the field was 1 lined yesterday they would have stood | a much better chance of winning. | Though this is the after belief the | at the New Haven team for attempt | ing to play such an important game
 on an unlined field.
 i Following the game Manager Tad Dunnigan of the Thunderbolts tried to make arrangements with the Annex | management 10 nave LHt llt ScLtItu
 with a play off in this city either Sat-
 urday or Sunday. The New Haven | mana cement gave the lame excuse | that a number of his players were on the injured list, though they did not | look the part yesterday, that he would
 consider before making the arrange
 ments. He put Manager Dunnigan off I with the assurance that he would hear | from him tomorrow evening.
 1 From the side lines it looked as if | both elevens were about evenly weighed. but number of the Edge | wood players of this city who wit messed the game stated that having | played against both clubs they had full | knowledge that the Annex boys had it on the Thunderbolts in this respect. 4 touchdown was made by each club, the Thunderbolts getting theirs in the first six minutes of play, and the An | nex in the second period. When the ThunderbOlts showed across their first score it looked like a walk away for them, but the Annex boys came back strong and showed that they knew
 how the game should be played.
 The Thunderbolts can trace their ir- ability to win the game to the punt ing of Klarman, the Annex end. Time after time klarman booted the pigskin over the Thunderbolt backs. His booting was something unexpected by
 the Green and White warriors. On the other hand. Baker, the Thunder
 bolt foot man, had an off day. Two of Bakers boots were blocked while two others took straight course into the air. In the final period Lavery succeeded Baker in the kicking, doing | much better. The change should have been made sooner
 Following the first kick off, Klar- l man to Lavery, the Thunderbolts by sitting through the Annex line and skirting the ends for first down runs | brought the ball to the Annex five yard line. Here Referee Carroll pen alized the local lads IS yards for | holding in the line; but it was not enough for the Park City representa- 1 tfves gathered up steam rushing the | ball across the line for a touchdown,
 Mosher being the last man to carry | the pigskfn. Lavery was forced to | try for goal at a difficult angle, miss l ing the chance to score the one point
 It looked squally for the Annex
 forces, but they braced and were
 holding the ball in the Thunderbolt
