one of a pair of young men wanted by

spring practice and are now sufficient
ly hardened up to stand the strain of
a hard game without stiffening up.
Moosup, 3, team that cleaned up in
Eastern Connecticut last season, is as

the fans are anxious to look it over.
There will be no delays from batting
the ball in the river this season, for

any direction without the slightest
chance of driving them off the field.

Violations

Eighty dollars have been paid into

divided two and three between two
more car owners, making the total
number charged with violations IT,
Five of the alleged violators who
have shown disposition to fight their
cases and who have not appeared for
settlement before ]. r. Strong, police
judge, were summoned to appear in
court today or as early as possible af
ter receiving notice.
One man claims ne is not the own
er of the car in which, it is charged,
the police caught him speeding. The
case is not clear. Either the police
have the right man and the wrong
car number, or the right car number
and the wrong man. All kinds Of
pleas are offered to Judge Strong. One
man claims the city owes him for
labor performed and wants his fine
deducted from the amount which he
alleges is due. Others disclaim any
knowledge of having broken the traffic
ordinance
No complaints additional to the ori-
final 20 have been filed, but the city
attorney announces the campaign will
be continued until speeding is stop
