HoLYokE AND NORTHAMPTON
THROW UP THE SPONGE
Both Drop Gut Of Connecticut League
---$9, 900 in Debt.

Hartford, June 19.-For the remain
der of the season the Connecticut
State Baseball league VIII have but
six teams. two teams, Holyoke and
Northampton. having been dropped
from the league tonight because the.
owners were unable to pay expenses.
This was decided upon at a meeting
of the directors of the league at a
meeting here tonight which had been
called for the purpose of considering
what action should be taken. There
was no chance of Holyoke being con-
tinued in the league. but 1t was
thought that there was possibility
that Northampton might be allowed to
remain, but when it was made known
that the two teams were in debt to
the amount of $4,000. an offer made
by Northampton parties to take over
the team was turned down. 1t was al
so decided that the players on the two
teams should become free agents and
at liberty to sign with whatever team
might wish their services.
After the meeting several of the di-
rectors got together and made tenta-
tive arrangements for q polo league in
the state for the coming winter. The
circuit will take in as planned the five
cities now having baseball teams.
with the addition of Meriden. The
team in that city. it is understood
would be in charge of Manager Luby.

Made Necessary by Financial Condition But Expected

$4,000 Of $4,000 Required Changes in Academy

There was large attendance at
the meeting of the Norwich Free
Academy Alumni association, held in
the Slater Memorial on Monday eve
ming. Members were cordially well
coined by the reception committee

ard twelve other graduates from vari-
Gus classes. The meeting was called
to order by the president, James L.

tiun by the Academy orchestra Mr..

tees in providing the new building,
which is so soon TO graduate its first

He explained the necessary qua1ifi-
cations for membership in the asso-

association. As chairman of the conn

$4,000 N the association, to be
known as the Norwich Free Academy
Alumni fund This will be divided in
to 1000 shares of SO each, payable
by July l. 1912. As there are 1,400
graduates of the Academy given in
the school catalogue, this seems very
feasible plan. This would cancel for

then given most aceeptably.

A word to the committee which has charge of the
general recall
Some folks think that Mayor Fawcett Will return
to office with flying colors. Others do not think
In all probability man will be selected to run
against Mayor Fawcett Without doubt the MEM
bers of the committee can If they choose their
influence toward selecting this man.
The public at large realizes that the Royal Arcn
wishes Fawcett out Of politics. The reason they
want him out is because he has shown signs Of fight
ing the saloons. The Royal Arch has not yet put
up candidate. Whether they have one III sight is
another thing
1t will be up to the committee recall to for
the people that the Royal Arch does not wedge it
self into nominating an opponent of Fawcett
Whether not the public puts Fawcett out of office
IT does not want Royal Arch swayed candidate to
take his place.
The best thing for the Royal Arch to de- if they
want new man in Fawcetts place, is TO keep out Of
the fight altogether They have succeeded with the
recall petitions evidently but if they attempt to put
man in the field the chances that he will be
killed dead politically Hi Gill in Seattle
yesterday. The man who is to against FawceJt
must be dissected by the searchlight of publicity,
and it behooves that the Royal Arch stamp be miss
ing If he is to stand chance of beating Fawcett
for the office of mayor
Some folks have assumed that the Times would
like to see Fawcett remain in office because the
loon brought out the recall petition against him. Be
that as it may, thing is certain the Times would
rather lose fight against the Royal Arch than win
by supporting put up by the Royal Arch.
If somebody replaces Fawcett it mustn't be a
Royal Arch man.
