CHANGES LANDLORDS
Interests in City Hotel Transferred Putnam's Baseball Manager to Leave
 the City

Teddy Cassent has sold his interest in the City Hotel to Albert C. Forni, recently connected with the Hotel Bond in Hartford This news will be received with regret by many Putnam people and especially by the base ball fans, who have soft spot for the man. ager of Putnam's base ball club.
 Mir, Cassent came to Putnam from Winsted little less than a year ago. He is of character, disposition and temperament that makes him a typi- cal landlord, his broad smile of wei come making each guest feel that his presence is especially desired. Land- lord Cassent proceeded 10 put the City Hotel on basis equal to hotels in the smaller cities and to build up the busI- ness. Soon after the. base 5;iti season was under way he appeared as factor in it's direction and before the season was half over he had the teins in his hands and began to show his ability as a shrewd and wise base sbal mana ger. Thousands of people in Nindha n county now know him both as man who knows how to run a hotel and one who knows how to conduct good, clean sport in sportsmanhke man. ner. He has given Putnam the best tenn, the best sport and the most noted players seen here in years.
 Mr. CaSsent will see the Putnam team through the season. Next season he will De factor in the direction of team of larger eaiber. He is negotiat- ing for connection with tue Worcester team of the New sEngland league and that he will be affiliated with that ag- gregation is practically assured. When the season closes here MT. Cassent will leave 10 spend the winter in Califor- nia. While he goes there to take life easy and get needed rest il Is safe !o say that if anything that looks like base ball team looms up on the hori- zon in that sunny cline, Teddy will be getting his finger in it..
 Putnam fans of course are sorry to see him go hutithey recognize that if he really wants to get into tse game he is worthy Of faster company than a town playing once a-week ball and if he locates in Worcester he can depend upon q following from Putnam.
