Locals soalped by Chester.

The Leland and Gray seminary base
ball team played the Chester high school
boys ON the local grounds Saturday af-
ternoon. The game was one sided ow-
ing to the inability of the locals to hit
the left handed pitcher of the Chester
team Goodwin is a very strong pitcher
for one of high school age, as shown by
the fact that he struck out 16 of the
"a batters who faced him. The Chester
team, apart from the pitching end of
the game, did not seem to be much SUI
perior to the Townshend boys, although
the latter had decidedly off day Sat

Goodrich pitched a good game and
grew better as the game progressed. OF
the eight hits secured off his delivery
only two were made after the fouth in
ming. In Justice to Shortstop Butler IL
should be said that he was i'll and
should not have played, and would not
have done so had there been a
substitute to take his place. His con-

charged to him. The score:

NEWFANE
Fire Prevention Service for Wlndham
County,

County.
James Upham of Boston Is now here
working under an appointment by the
United States forestry service in CO.
operation with the state of Vermont in
the prevention and control of forest fires
throughout the southern end Of the
state
Too much fire damage to woodlands
holding young growth-the future for
est and lumber supply-is the slogan
thas has brought about this agitation to
prevent fire.
The state of Vermont is now being
put under a system of fire protection
1t is divided into districts. Wndham
county is one of these districts. Each
town in the Windham county district is
required to be under the local protection
of its first selectman. He, by law, Is
the protector of his own forests and
woodlands. In other words he is the
town fire warden. These wardens are
paid by the day. Their duty is to post
fire warning notices. be on the lookout
for fires and muster men together with
tools and food to the fire line when
there is fire in town. Other fire pre-
vention measures for this county will
consist of a lookout station with watch
man on Stratton mountain. A patrol
man paid and employed by the United
States government will patrol the West
River railroad between Brattleboro and
South Londonderry.
This, in brief, summarizes the work
which Is now being organized for South
ern Vermont, and while this work may
not appear directly important at first
glance, yet it really does have vital
bearing on our future timber supply in
the state. 10 If the young trees now in
their early growth, and some already
nearly mature, continue to be burned
up Vermont will have to look outside
the state for a wood supply.

voice is meIodious, full resonant and wonderfully expressive. For several
 years he was one of the big faVorites of the Castle Square Stock Com pany in Boston, and before joining MT. Polis forces was identified with the Belasco Stock Company of Los Ange- les, the Tannheuser Company of Gin i cinnati and with several important legitimate productions. In his work he makes a fascinating character of whatever part he has in hand and IS thoroughly artistic and finished x
 The new leading woman is Miss known to stock nlanage and patrons in the larger cities. Like MT Van Buren, she is a recruit from the fam shared in the honors conferred upon the leading man by the Washington Play goers this season and Manager PoIi feels assured she will become great popular favorite with his Bridgeport au1ieaces. Miss Nord@ strom is accomplished young ac- able personality She possesses much charm and grace of manner and should be an admirable foil for the leading man. Among others who will come from Washington to open here next week is Mark Kent, a splendid character actor, Dorothy Bernard, a Graham Velsey, a spirited, dashing young actor who combines good looks and elegance in stage appearance with versatility. Harry Andrews, one of most competent of stage directors and who was in charge of the company here three seasons ago comes from Washington to direct the destinieS of the reorganized stock.
 In addition to the new players the company will have several of the principal favorites of the present Bridgeport organization, including Miss Marguerite Starr, Miss Jessie Pring1e, c. Wilson, Hummell, Thomas Williams and Guy Harrington and Stuart Fox. All of these have be- become extremely popular during the present season and their many friends will be pleased to learn they are to remain.
 Manager Poli has selected Bern stein's powerful drama, tNThe Thief, to usher in the reorganized company and no better vehicle could have been selected since it gives the principals exceptional acting opportunities. The play is intensely dramatic in it's situ- ations and Poli's patrons will have an added incentive for seeing the play as this will be its first stock production in BridgepOrt

Fifteen Delegates in Twelfth District Sign Petition For One on Oct. 14

There may be still another conven- tion of the Democratic delegates of the Twelfth Senatorial District. Two have been held already and at the first C.. Harrison Monroe of Guilford was nominated. That was on September 23. On October 4, another conven- ton was held and Louis A. Fisk of Branford, was nominated in executive session after fourteen delegates had left the room.
 Since the second convention there have been threats of legal proceedings but it is evident that efforts to bring about harmony have been partly sue cessfu1, for yesterdays petition signed by fifteen delegates elected at the pri- maries was sent to State Committee man John F. Downey of Wallingford- This petition asks for another con vention to be held on October IA at New Haven. This is the last day up- on which a nomination may be legally made.
 The whole controversy hinges upon the East Haven delegation. At the prinaar ries four delegates were elected and the town was entitled to only two. The Monroe men claim, however, that the convention and not, the chairman should decide what East Haven's rep resentation shxll be-
