ONE PLAYER IS \ ON SUSPENSION
 LIST LOCALLY

It has been stated about the cir cult that there are a mum Der of ball players on the Mechanic suspension list. The agitation created by the about 450 or more ball players were held from further participation in playing, because of suspension, gave rise to the rumor that there are five such members on the Bridgeport list Manager McCann when consulted to- on his list under suspension, that man being Joe Kustus, who left the team last season. It will be remem bered that Kustus made @ kick to the Ma tional association for pay from the local club, but that body found tha, Joe had left the club without per mission and therefore was not en- titled to pay. In this event, Manager McCann had a right to place him on the suspension list.
 At the end of last season, however there were four players. besides Kus- tus on the Mechanic suspension list In three of the cases the ban has been raised by the local managem ent and in another by the National as- sociation. The latter body allowed Billy Kerr to re-enter the ranks o1 organized baseball. Billy has signed a contract and will catch for the Me chantcs next season.
 Manager McCann, himself, has consented to the reinstatement of J Stewart Wisler, "Rube" Pollard and Arthur Roemer. Wisler could not play last season because of illness but has sent in his contract for this year, stating that April 1, can not come any too soon for him. Pollard deserted the club last season and went to his home in Glastonbury. He repented only few months ago, and has also sent along his contract and will report April 1.
 Artie Roemer has been given his release by Manager McCann, which action takes him off the suspension list. Roemer is member of the New York police force and plays with the Police team. McCEnn allowed him his release to also play with in dependent teams around New York However. if he should ever re-enter organized baseball it will be as a member of the Bridgeport club, this cause was inserted in his release.

ject in view to be attained by saving.
 Almost anyone can think of some purpose for which he would like to save. The Title Guarantee and Trust Com pany, the largest title guarantee com. pany in the world, has provided plan. This Company has capital and surplus of SIS, ,000, 900. and has associated with it the Bond & Mortgage Guarantee Company with capital and surplus of $8. 8.0OO, 900. During the last eighteen years, these companies have furnished investments of more than 500, ,0O0, ,OO0. to their clients and of this vast amount no investor has ever lost dollar.
 The Company furnishes first mort gages on New York City property in large and small amounts. For the con- venicnce of those who can save amounts as small as $10. per month, the Company has provided Guaranteed First Mort gage Certificate where the investor pays $l0. down and $10. month for nineteen months. He then becomes the owner of a certificate bearing interest at 4Z% and redeemab1e in five years but the interest begins on each dollar from the time it is received by the Company.

This is the assurance of the commit Etee which Is collecting the funds. The spirit manifested by the committee the city is felt in the number of checks which are pouring in to City Treasurer Fred W.

The committee. however. is depending on the loyal spirits of local citizens to boost Bridgeport boy to greater ef- forts. It will be considerable of cost for Paine to bring his machine from Mineola.

 What costs there will accrue in the carrying out of the event. such as ad- vertising and printing and other minor matters. will be maintained by Prof: James Atlas. who started the ball rolling to bring Paine to this city. Prof. Atlas has no motive in arrang- ing this event other than to boost Bridgeport and have the name of the city known all over the globe.
 It was he who first broached the subject, and who interested Paine in it's object. To interest Paine. how ever. was not considerable labor. The youth fairly devoured the idea, and suggested that 1t be run off as soon as possible. As Washington's Birth day was the nearest legal holiday, away from work. that day was sug- gested.

He has agreed to make the flight from the park to the island. but the compile tion of the full course will not be nec- essary for successful. issue. The committee believes that those who have contributed any money will gladly give their amount to Paine even if he does not complete his flight
 To make this event one long to be remembered. the committee is in com- munication with the New Haven road relative to arranging special cars and special rates for that day to this city. all over the State will flock to the city.

PLANNING A BIGGER AND
 BETTER BASEBALL LEAGUE


 Plans for bigger and better City Baseball league will be discussed this evening at a meeting of the league to be held in the office of City Clerk Stephen F. Boucher, who is also sec- retary of the league. It is under stood that there are a number of teams now being organized about the city, the members of which are de- sirous of being listed under the 1911 banner of the City League. However, there have been no written applica- tions received by the secretary.
 President Alfred E. Veness will this evening present the shield offered by him to the winner of last season. s championship, to the St. Joseph club.
 The election of officers will also be held. There will probably be no change from the present officials, A. E. Veness, president; Stephen F. Boucher, secretary; and Dan Shan non, supervisor of umplres.

Bobby Stow is still full fledged member of the "hold-out league" He is being questioned by his friends Tn signing. and intimates that when Manager McCann of the local team listens to his demands for a big in- crease in salary. he will come around and annex his John Hancock" to the Bridgeport list. However, Stow will not state his other grievances, rather, . because he fears 1t will irritate the local manager. Bobby says that he will play semi-professional ball be- fore he signs with the Mechanics at the price the latter want to give him.
 Stow may be determined and he may not. but what ever he is doing, his future chances in baseball. There have been players who have prede- cessed Stow who after one years ser vices in the bushes, have made the howl for more salary Did they get it? Most of them did not. Some of them did-but they were the ones who met their manager half way, and came to an amicable settlement. This is the course Stow should have chos- en- He may think differently yet. Looks as though he was taking the advice of a few hot headed friends, who are attempting to work up bit of sentiment to conjole the local man. agement to come across

N. Brooks and John E. Griswold of Torrington Republicans, asking for the seats now held by Messrs. Harty and Alldis. The first witness, pr. Pratt, the official moderator, testified that 89 ballots were rejected for vari- them were Republican. A certified copy of thesofficial vote showed that John N. Brooks received 1,091. John E. Griswold 1,095, Thomas Harty 1.136, and Frederick Alldis 1,097 in addition to a few socialistic and labor votes. Dr. Pratt was allowed to testify that if certain ballots with an x mark just outside the party cifcle and properly marked otherwise, had been counted, disregarding any other rejected bal lots, the vote for representative in Torrington would have been a tie. The witness said that after the ballots had once been placed in the ballot box they had been returned to the table and recount ordered of the split tickets. He said that the clerks through error had accepted the wrong count from some of the counters and that numerous rectifications were nec- essary Edward Hotchkiss of Torring- ton testified that he was counter and that much confusion attended the F. Petz, another counter, said it was in the morning when he got through and although he signed the official re- turns he felt while doing so that an error had been made. He helped take the ballots from the box for the re-
 count of the splits ordered by the moderator and said that confusion was on all sides. He presented a ta- ble of his own making showing that there was a difference between the vote cast and the vote announced for representative, but admits that there might be some scattering votes that he failed to figure into his table. Nu
 merous witnesses were introduced by both sides, some claiming that dfsor- der prevailed during the counting while others were equally persistent that nothing out of the ordinary had developed. Judge Holcomb asked the committee to decide that prima facie case had been made out and to order the ballot boxes opened and an official recount. MT. Kennedy con- tended that no valid reason had been advanced for such a decision. The committee reserved judgment.

 Escaped Jury Duty.
 Two citizens of New Milford who had made arrangements and in fact purchased tickets and equipment. for a trip to the balmy south to escape the rigors of a Connecticut winter were a trifle upset when they received summons to jury duty a few hours previous to their departure. Consid- erable time was spent in telephonins to locate the judge and by him be excused, but the judge could not be located. Fortunately, both gentlemen have been under a doctors care for some weeks, and the latter has certi- fled that the southern trip was neces- sary for his patients, and they are now enjoying the land of warmth and sunshine.

It won't do anybody any good and will irritate Manager McCann. I have no reason for wanting to make him feel unfriendly toward me, so would rather not talk about the matter, is the way Stow expressed himself.

 ''In one season in the State league, Stow developed into one of the finest second basemen in New England, and tnere isn't manager in the COnnectI- cut league who wouldn't be glad to have Stow covering second base for his team.
 George M. Cameron, owner of the local club, would like to buy Stow from Bridgeport, but there isn't much chance that he will succeed. McCann knows Stow is a clever second base man. Bobby has proved his worth, and, as the Bible says: The 1aborer is worthy of his hire'"

Lush in speaking of himself today said that he learned enough during the training stunts last Spring to put him wise to what to do when he makes the Springs this year.

K. Q. BROWN TONIGHT MEETS
 AID WOLCAST
Immense Crowd to be Present at Jack O'Brien's New
 Club House
Special from United Press. )

Philadelphia, Feb. 8-For the first time in many months this city will stage a championship contest, tonight. Unless all signs fail, the biggest crowd that ever saw fight in the Quaker City will watch Knockout Brown of New York, exchange slams with Ad Wolgast, lightweight cham pion of the world. Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, who organized the new club before which the fight takes place, said today that the sale Of seats had been phenomenal. From New York three special trains will bring over the fans from that city while special cars will bring clubs from Pittsburg, Harrisburg, Baltimore and Washing ton.
 There is a slim chance that Brown will take Wolgast's title from him. He has terrific punch and is admittedly a dangerous little man although far from a wonder, more because of lack of ring experience than anything else.
 Wolgast, however, figures on out boxing the K. O., and getting the deci- sion on points.
 There has been little betting on the result but because of the fact that the scrap has only six rounds to go the champion is an overwhelming fla vorite. AS there are no decisions in Brown can annex the title is to knock wolgast cold before the bell rings for the finish of the sixth round.
 As for the other events, that be- tween Jimmy Barry and Joe Jeannette is expected to be a hummer. It will be close to grudge fight inasmuch as Jeannette is sore over the result or their previous meeting when Barry got the decision. Both are hard hit ters and the bout should be of the slam bang variety.
 Then Digger Stanley and Tommy O'Toole will put up a good exhibition as curtain raiser. The card is ad- mittedly of the best from a fighting point of view
