COTTON COMPANY VICTORIOUS.
Both Holiday Games Won from Con-
 nectieut Mills Team.

Nearly 1000 gathered at the morn ing game on the Fourth between the Danielson Cotton and Cotton Mills teams and another big crowd at the afternoon t'game between the Daniel son Cotton team and the Quinebaug Mills team furnished ample demon stration that this town is in favor of baseball, that the sentiment for the national game has not been resurrected from the dead. but was only sleeping.
 The fact that the morning game was a walkoyer for the D. C. team did not seem to abate the interest one whit, for the crowd stayed, cheered each side liberally as opportunity offered, and celebrated each diamond play of note with fusilade of Fourth of July revolver shots that made the other forms of applause seem as timid as the sweet girl graduates T thank you"
 Danielson Cotton had no trouble in disposing of Connecticut Mills, winning a long drawn out game by the score of to l. Marland. pitching for the losers, got poor support, while that accorded Kelley, who was in the box for the ID. c. team. was more finished and en- couraging.

NEARLY 5000 MILE HIKE. William H. Adams, 6s, Walking from
 Vancouver to Toronto.

William H. Adams of Vancouver, B. C., nearing the end of walk of nearly 5000 miles. arrived in Danielson Sat- urday morning in time to celebrate the Fourth. MT. Adams is one of the school of venerable long distance and transcontinental hikers developed since Edward Payson Weston got his name in the newspapers. and some other forms of encouragement. by walking across the country after he had reach ed the age of 10. MT. Adams gives his age as 66.
 There is. of course, a story as to why he Is on the long hike from his home in Vancouver, B. C., to Toronto, Ont, over route that is also, of course, roundabout in degree sufficient to run the mileage for the proposed walk up to 4,se0 miles, more or less. His walk is on wager the terms of which require that he visit all parts of the Dominion of Canada The wager, 1t is related. was made between two residents of Vancouver on a day in April in 1913, and was for s3,5e0 a side (not beans). the discussion that resulted in the bet being as to whether an old man could outwalk a younger man.
 of the old men selected Mir. Adams as his candidate for the walk. The man who had the other end of the. bet the young man end-picked out one James Jimson, S5. Adams and Jimson left the British Columbia city May 1. 1913, and started to walk along the route of the Canadian Pacific railway. They were accompanied by the men who made the wager, travelling in au- tomobiles. At Winnipeg the younger man quit and MT, Adams has since continued to walk alone.
 Fort William was reached Jan of this year, and then progress was slow because of the intense cold and snow, Montreal was reached March 1T and Quebec March 31. Then the route led through the province of Quebec to New Bruaswick and ts NssA Scotia,

eRowNuPs ARE cuTuPs.
Boys from 90 to 50 Do Crazy Stunts
 for Fourth of July Fun.

Some new atrocities were perpetrat- cd in Danielson in connection with the observance of the Fourth this year. Insanity is still rampant. if in lesser degree than in former years. so far as the ideas of some people as to a proper celebration Is concerned. Among some of the crazy stunts noticed this year, chargeable against children of ages varying from 30 to 90 years, was the throwing of giant crackers in the path of approaching motorcycles and auto mobiles. discharging revolvers of .32 and .3S calibre at passing machines. throwing lighted firecrackers from sec ond story windows into the crowds on the sidewalks in the business section, and tossing torpedoes into the crowds on open trolley cars. These pleasant little pastImes were all indulged in without producing a list of injured, but through good luck rather than good judgment.
 On the other hand, many celebrators in Danielson had a good time without being dangerous. There was plenty of clean fun. some clever parade stun and a lot of noise that did no more damage than to interrupt the sleep of some who would have liked to slept

him and he was using it in his ceie- bration of the Fourth to shoot. .32-cal- lore bullets with. His most effective shot according to the police, was a defeeted one that resulted in break ing big plate glass window in the peculiar one-a circular crack with a diameter of little more than in ches, apparently. Across the street Captain Murray found a small piece chipped out of the sidewalk near the bank building. indicating that the man who did the shooting stood there and pointed his revolver at the walk. Dur ing a search of the vicinity Captain Murray picked up three bullets of the calibre noted. so there is no guess work as to what kind of ammunition the as yet unidentified fellow was
 using.
 Aside from this incident there was
 little to complain of over the manner
 in which the Fourth was observed
 here The day itself. with the excep-
 ton of the early morning hours, was
 very quiet and free from the old line of accidents that nearly always ac-
 companied such celebrations. There
 was sporadic firing of revolvers and
 fireerackers during the day, but very little of 1t
 The same story cannot be told about the early morning hours, nor of the night before. Evidently there are many who do not subscribe to the safe and sane proposition on the eve of the Fourth, for they turned loose with c vengeance here and gave the old towr
 a razsle dazzle up to the midnight hour, when they quit by common con sent Most of the participants demon
 strated themselves entitled to the de gree of Master of Noises. No dam age of property was reported to th' police though and there were no ar rests for disorders. Only one man wal presented in the city court Saturdal morning and he was given the bene l fit of being arrested on a holiday fol | imbibing too freely and was turned l loose.

New Britain, first IS seconds, Coch- rane, second, 17 seconds. Aisitnrs Min Both Games.

Visitors Win Both Games.
 Disappointment was the portion of the local fans in both ball games, the visiting teams capturing both con- tests. and the Independents and Finer aids going down to defeat in close and int eresting fights.
 In the morning game between the Independents and the Newfelds of Bridgeport, both PeloQuin and Strat- ton pitched fine ball. but a three bag ger by Fray with two on bases won the game for the visitors in the sey- enth inning. The only run made by the locals was earned in the second inning by Adams triple and Rya1's single Stratton was touched up for eight hits, but frightened up when there was any danger of a score. The feat : ure of the game was the batting of HaTnil and Ryan, the former setting three singles and double in four trips to the plate, and Ryan making thre singles and a sacrifice hit out of the same number.
 Twelve Inning Struggle
 In the afternoon game the Pioneers of New Britain defeated the Emeralds four to one in a twelve inning strug- gle which might have gone to the locals but for an unfortunate huff of a pop fly by Killourey. The visitors tied the score, and won out in the twelfth, when Killourey weakened Ahearn of the visitors pitched & No- hit game until the second man was out in the final inning.
 The Emeralds' only run came as the result of errors in the first inning.
