Electrical Fixtures in the Home

The matter of buying fixtures for the house is one which is seldom well considered until the building expenses have been pretty well fixed; and it is always more or less of shock to find that good style fixtures add considerable sum to the already plan ned expenditures. In selecting fix lures it is well to remember that one is choosing them for years to come; wall papers may be changed frequent ly, but a change of fixtures is rare, mainly because of the expense When planning changes, do not fail to visit the store of the Century Gas and Elec- tric Fixture Co., 837 Main street, Bridgeport. It will pay you.

ThunderboIfs in
 Hard Fought Tie
 Wnh Annex Team
Big Crowd of Local Rooters Sees Interesting Struggle
 at New Haven
(By TanglefoOt.)

At New Haven, yesterday, the Annex of New Haven and the Thunderbolts battled forty minutes without either side, scoring. The four corner aggre- gation met tartar in the Thunder bolts and in the end of the contest it looked as if the Thunderbolts would score as they were in the Elm City boys territory all the way through the game. Baker and Murray, who were the ends, played a. brilliant game, and it was almost impossible for the Annex to make big runs around these ends. They say that Johnny Cahill is some player He played yesterday in the game but he isn't in it with the Bridgeport boys. The only man that played the game for the Annex was Doyle. He is very clean in playing and made some big gains through the line.
 after a few downs the Annex started to kick to, with the Thunderbolt man putting it all over this fast man, Stuhlman. Casey outkicked him in every way. Halopin and Moshier will not be forgotten for their fast playing, as they were given a big hand after the game by the New Haven fans. It looked as if the New Haven fans do not like the Annex team, as they all seemed to be cheering the Thunder bolts to win, with odds of to 1 on the Bridgeport boys. The auto bus of the Blue Ribbon Co.,, driven by Louie Haymon, brought a crowd of sixty to the field, while over a hun dred came along with the players on the 11:33 train. The cry after the game, Play them again, boys, play them again. came from Dingle Ay, the only weak voiced rooter of the Thunderbolts. The lineup of the teams are as follows:
 THUNDERBOLTs. ANNEX. Baker ...................... M. Spillane Pjura GreenDerg
 Left Tackle. Abbott Chapman
 Left Guard.
 Center.
 Sullivan Kelly
 Right Guard. Griffin Regina
 Right Tackle. Murray Stuhiman
 Right End
 Noonan, Finn ......,....... D. Spillane
 Quarterback.
 Left Halfback. Strickfuss, Moshier .......... Klarman
 Right Halfback
 Fullback.
 Score: Thunderbolts 0, Annex 0.
 NOTES OF THE GAME. That Quarterback Spillane is roughneck, but the Bridgeport boys kindly gave it to him in an easy way so as not to put him out of the game for good.
 When they started to play, the An mex tried to scare the Park City boys, but they did not have time for that stuff, so they dove right into them and gave them the battle of their lives. Oh, that K1arman is good for somo 105 pound team, and that is all
 The Annex are a bunch of dirty players, and the Thunderbolts gave 1t to them just to show that they are much stronger than the Thomastons. This will call for another game, and if Jack Spillane lays down this time he is not very good manager, as it will show cold feet for his part - .
