 Jim Murphy, the Waterbury club owner, Is certainly the prize poker in the baseball deck Think of a man knowing so little about the national game as to fine Pitcher Knapp $10 for losing that 12 inning contest Tuesday. Murphy accused Knapp of deliberately making the wild throw to first which ended the contest. Knapp when he left the field appeared to feel worse than anybody else about the throw which looked to be simply an acci- dent. It was the slowress of the Wa terbury players on the paths and not Knapp, who really caused the defeat. The Spuds had several chances to win but were caught by sharp fielding when faster men would have been safe When man pitches 12 innings and holds the enemy to two runs, 1t is absurd to accuse him of throwing 8 game.

UNCLE IKE LEFT

He Wrote to Bertha About it Bui
 Forgot to Address Card.

Do you know Dear Bertha or 'FUncle 1ke?" If so you are in a peai- ton to do one or both favor and incidentally aid the employees Of the Winsted post office in the perforrr- ance of their duties. There is a card at the office for Bertha" and the message that it contains Is such that Postmaster Glynn and his clerks are anxious to have it reach it's destina- tion. The message is as follows:
 Dear Bertha:-If you go to the church I left some cheese on the plate near the organ. Will you take 1t away, if there is any left, and put it in the furnace. Uncle Ike"
 The writer neglected to add 4Ber- tha's address and consequently when the card reached the office yesterday it was posted in the lobby with the dozens of others that are held for one reason or another. Unless Uncle Ike sees this and straightens out the af- fair the card will start for the dead letter office in a few days and it Bs- hooves clergymen to see that the1R churches are thoroughly inspected bA- fore opening the doors to the public next Sunday.
