 | Jerome May is one of the best known
 men of Stratford and he is also widely
 known in Bridgeport. For many years l he has conducted a musical instru-
 ment store in the Arcade and is one | of the most popular store keepers in | the center of the city. Needless to | say he will have the well wishes of his
 host of friends when he enters into the state of marital bliss tomorrow even | ing. His bride is a, singer of extra or d1nary ability and it was in her capa- city as evangelist singer that MT. May first met her at one of the con- certs given at the Neighborhood l church.
 Besides the many local friends of the bride and groom a mum Der of out of-town guests will be present at the ceremony at the May homestea7 on stratford avenue tomorrow night DINGBATS TO DINE | So great was the success of the out
 ing and clam bake of the Dingbat club of Stratford which was held al Hickory lodge on the George Lines estate in
 Putney recently that it has been de- cided to hold another outing of a sim liar nature at the place Sunday af- ternoon, Sept. IA.
 The feature of the coming outing will be baseball game between the
 married and single members of the club. The game promises to put in the shade any big league contest that
 has ever been played around this part of the country at least that's what the l members of the club say ark anI< two of the star players of the old Stratford team are coaching the single
 men and the married men respectively
 and each coach is confident that his team will be the winner. The lineup of the married men will
 be as follows: John GoodseI p; Fred TempIeton, c; Martin Knapp, ss; Herb Buck, If; Nose Hyde,f 1h3 Seymour | Wells. Jr., 3b; w. Apl1eyard, 2b;
 Frank Perry, If; c. A. Plumb, Of. bat in the following order: George Wark. c; Jake" Park, p; "Crick''
 Lane ss; John Osborne, 1b; "Shor-
 ty'' Lines, 3b; Joe Johnson, 2b; Frank Nolan, If; Ray Mcbride. If.
 Nate Osborne has promised to as sist in the capacity of water boy and
 Ernest Semon will be the ''ump." The dignity of the occa sion will be upheld
 by SeIectman Jim" LaIly who will
 also manage the single men. Chief Al Judson is manager of the married men but he says he isn't working very
 hard as most of the wives of the mem bers of his team ''broke in'' their husbands long ago so that they are now dociIe as lambs and very easy to manage.
 Irving and George Webb, Oliver and f'Bi1I'' Parks, Drury Downey, Bob" EdwaSds, Harold and John Pederson,
 and in fact practically every mem Der of the club will be on hand ready to take part in the game in case any of the regular players get knocked
 out a result of over-indulgence in the ice water or the clam choWder which is to be on tap.
 Alderman Voos and Ollie Penney of Bridgeport, sprinters in the 200 pound
 class will run off 100 yard dash for the championship of the club in their class. Joe Johnson and Putty Nolan have been doing all in their power within the last few weeks to put on a few pounds of avoirdupois but with poor success and it looks now as if they will not be able to reach the 200 pound limit before Sunday. The result will be that the prize will go to either Voos or Penney.
 The ball game will start inme ediately after dinner and it will be a fight to the finish. The married men won the last contest but the bachelors prom ise to come out the tall end of
 
 meet for the second ttne SCHOOL OPENS The schools of Stratford opened yes terday following the summer vaca tion and although things are not in what one might call a chaotic condition it is plainly evident that more class rooms
 are sadly needed in order to accom-
 modate the pupils anxious to attend
 school
 The new school in the north end of
 the town has greatly relieved condi- tions in that quarter but the Center school is crowded as are the other schools on the outskirts of the town Of years.
 The solution of the problem of school
 accommodat tions for Stratford will not be fund it seems until a new High schol is built in the town and the pres ent Center school with the rooms now
 used for High school purposes, con- verted into a graded school.
