four balls and Milan started for second

thinking there was play to make. duck

Barry. however, was not expecting the
play, and the ball went to center field,
while johnson scored.

What a great difference there is in the
game this year and what it used TO be in
former seasons. Runs are scored IN
punches now and there are so many err
rors and stupid plays that major league
ball is often reminding one of the games
on the town lots. Though they won
three out of five the Athletics did not do
themselves proud in the series here. The
team did not show championship caliber.
and created the impression that 1t will
have to play a much higher grade of ball
to make good the prediction that 1t will
again win the pennant this year.

Manager McAleer looks for great i'm
provement in their showing. He said
yesterday that he had hopes of break
ing even while away from home. He
thinks his team is hitting much better
now than 1t did earlier in the season.
and, incidentally. he looks for much
improved pitching. Though Johnson
has not shown real good form this
spring, McAleer believes that 1t will
only be a matter OF time when the big
fellow will hit his stride. Inasmuch
as there is nothing wrong with his
arm or his health, there can be no good
reason why he should not pitch win
ming ball. and he will be worked regu-
larIy in the belief that In due time he
will come around all right
HAD Walter Johnson been properly sup
norted he would have gotten through
that sixth inning with but one run scored
rainst him. Bakers home run. Mcbride 8

away from him he made more trouble.
Then came another error by Mcbride.
and fusillade Of hits followed. When
johnson was at his best he could always
overcome innings in which his team
mates failed him, but in his present slump
he does not have anything in reserve to
call on. and opposing teams are very apt

 A BIG SUCCESS

l. The formal opening of the new store in Main street, Sat- urday, proved that the people of Bridgeport will respond promptly if offered Inducements, and the large crowd in the store during the entire day and evening d2,500) gives prom ise that this venture will be decided success. At times the crowd was so great that it was difficult to enter the store, and the services of officers were required to, keep the people moving in the right direction. But, notw1th- standing this large crowd, there was not the slightest disorder, the custom CTS promptly waited upon, and all who made purchases expressed the utmost formal opening exceeded the expecta- tions of Manager A W. Mcconnell.
 Of course, this large crowd of pur- chasers and shoppers was attracted by special offers, of which every advant- age was taken, but those who visited the store saw one of the handsomest and best stocked in New England, were given prompt attention by the large force of clerks on duty, and were given bargains and souvenirs which seemed to please The motto of the store is prompt service and low prices for dependable articles, and Manager Mcconnell believes it will win the con- stant patronage of the public of Bridgeport.
 All who visited the store Saturday were unanimous in praise of the store, its handsome fittings, the well dis played stock, prompt service, and sat- isfactory prices. Some of the souyen- frs given out with purchases were very attractive, and thousands of boxes of candy and other articles were given away to customers.

Branch of New Organization PrOpos-
 ed For Center of Town.

The promoters of the recently or ganized East Side bank in Bridgeport have been looking over the situation in Stratford with the idea of starring g a branch of the institution here. On different occasions the bank project has been canyassed in the town. The store in the new Futile building would make a fine spot for such an institu- ton. The new bank is in a position to handle the business of Stratford in connection with the East Side institu- ton. Such an institution would be welcomed by the people of the town. A suggestion for the Board of Trade will be found in the proposition.

STRATFORD'S MODEL
 FIRE DEPARTMENT
Old Town Has Solved the Problem of
 Suburban Fire Protection.

The firemen are satisfied with the receipts of the dance given last week, which were enough to provide suits for the call men. Under the direction of Chief Allan Judson, Stratford has now a department able to take care of any ordinary confagration. Six men besides the chief are now con- nected by call bells, and respond to every alarm night or day. This plan really gives the town a permanent~de- partment large enough for any ordfn- ary demands. The chemical engine and six men on the spot can accom- plish more than regiment of the old style undrifled firemen. The depart ment in Stratford is practical solu- tion of the problem which has wor- ried every small town
