The big battle will be staged to- morrow. The New Haven and Bridgeport clubs will meet in two desperate conflicts and as these two teams will probably decide the cham pionship question, the engagements promise to be warm ones Dick Tuckey is slated to oppose Bugs Reisigl in the game at Newheld to- morrow morning. Tn the afternoon Freddy Gibbs may go against Fan well or Hopper in New Haven ,a1- though it wouldn't be surprising if Manager McCann sent Johnny Bar ron to the mound. The, youngster appears to have plenty of nerve and would probably bother the Wings. Manager McCann plans to use Inffeld- CT Rath at third tomorrow. He hopes the youngster from the New York Giants will add much needed strength to the inffeld.
 Chief Snyder finally appeared in Holyoke yester day afternoon much, to the relief of. the management.

 Bob Stow lost a chance to make $50 by hitting the bull, in Holyoke yesterday.

Slows smash seemed headed for the bull sign in center field, for which there is a standing offer of $50 to every player who hits it with fly ball Hickey after a great run had to str etch to the limit to connect with the pellet and pulled it in less than a yard in front of the sign. Had Hick- ey missed the catch, the ball would in all probability have hit the sign a

THAT GOVERNMENT BUILDING

WRITES FOR INFORMATION.

wants Estimates of Accommodations
Required in Dawson, and PrOba-
bic Cost of Site.
The postofice department at Wash
ington evidently believes that con-
gress will pass Representative Rod
| denbery's bill for the erection of a
government building at Dawson.
Postmaster Lewis has received
from the first assistant postmaster
general, Mr. c. P. Granfield, letter
transmitting blank forms for an "es-
Innate Of accommodations required
in the proposed federal building in
Dawson" and requesting that he
carefully and completely fill in the
answers to all questions.
The department wants to know the
population served from the office, the
total number of employees in the Of
flee, the number of city carriers, num-
Der of rural carriers, and total square
feet of floor space in actual use.
An estimate is also requested of
the probable cost of site 120x130
feet for the building The depart
ment says the smallest site that could
be advantageously used would be a
corner lot 120x130 feet, and that the
estimate must be based on a corner
within reasonable distance of the
business center and as nearly central
as possible in the direction of the
principal railroad stations.

MARSHALL BLUE is DEAD.
Residence Was Burned While Family
Was Attending Funeral.

Mr.. l. P. Blue, the well known
United States deputy marshal, died
few days ago at Columbus. While
the family were at Buena Vista, the
former home of Mr.. Blue, where his
remains were taken for burial, their
house with all its contents was burn
ed, the loss being about $4,000 with
no insurance. No one was in the
house, nor had been for two or three
days. Some ashes were set on the
porch the day the family left with
the remains, and this is believed to
have been the origin of the fire.
Mr.. Blue had made number OF
visits to Dawson in his official capac-
ity, and had many friends here who
will regret to learn of his death.

BRACE SWINDLER IS CAUGHT
MAN WHO "WORKED" TERRELL
COUNTY COMES TO GRIEF.
Now in Jail at Griffin, and Confesses
His Guilt. He Made Many Sales,
But No Deliveries,

Now in Jail at Griffin, and COnfesses
His Guilt He Made Many Sales,
But No Deliveries.
Tom West, alias D. w. Wellington,
white man who took orders a year
or more ago in Terrell county for a
/ farmers combination tool brace and
failed to deliver the goods, for which
! he received payment at the time of
making the sales, is in jail at Griffin
on the charge of swindiing the farm
ers of Spalding county in the same
manner.
West, or Wellington, as he gave
his names at some of the places
where he operated, was located in
Rome Thursday by Chief of Police
Phelps of Griffin and arrested on
a warrant sworn out by farmer of
Spalding county charging him with
cheating and swindling. Chief Phelps
had been on the lookout for the man
more than year.
West travelled about the country
and took orders from farmers, who
never received the tool braces they
ordered and paid for. He carried
with him a sample of the implement, |
and as it seemed to be useful one
he had no trouble securing orders. |
He found a large number of victims,
according to report at the time, in |
Terrell county.
After his arrival in Griffin the pris-
oner confessed that he was the man
who was wanted there, and said that
he had worked his scheme in various
parts of the country.
