THE GET THERE'S DID
 AT AETNA ALLEYS
Boys From the "Nut City, Put Up a Strong Battle Against Hardware
 City Specials.

The Middletown Get There's' did. It happened last evening at the Aetna Alleys, when the G. ITS stacked up against the Hardware City Specials. The visitors put up a stiff opposition, and it was only after the home team had put up the best that they had in the bowling line, that it was found the boys from the River City, had lived up to their name.
 Each of the three games rolled, were decided by margins of seven points once and six points twice. The visitors threw 8 scare into the camp of the local rooters when they march ed off with the first game, but this acted as an incentive for the home five to get going. The final two strings went to the Specials.
 Century marks were few, Romano and Faraci of the Get There's geJ- ting the only three figures score Of the match. For the home representa- tives, Windish took individual and total honors. The scores:

The Last Fight.

He could not understand; Why should his breathing be so hard
 and drawn? Where was the punch he once held
 in each hand, The winning punch propelled by
 nerve and brawn? Why to his eyes should come that
 growing haze, Leaving a blur he had not know be-
 fore? Where was the wallop of the van-
 ished days. The knockout wallop he had held
 in store? What was it all about? The heavy humping of his weary
 heart The dulled and mufhed roar-the
 sullen shout The aching arms that would not do
 their part? Here was the chance at last to rise
 and show Who ruled as master of the bitter
 fray; Here was the chanCe-but what grip
 turned the blow Into tap a child might ward away? Was he not champion still? Had he not ruled the field from year
 to year? What bands of steel then crushed the
 ancient will What through his reign had known
 no foe to fear? Where was the oIdtime power of the
 poke That closed each battle in one sting
 ing blow? Yet here tonight he reeled before
 this joke He should have murdered seven
 rounds ago. And then, at last, he knew; For even as he sagged and crumpled
 up, And, falling from far heights, forever
 through, Drank to the final dregs the bitter In that one dash of pain he met the truth ;, ..... That struck at him with raw fangs
 buried deep Where from lost years the mocking
 voice of Youth Counted the final Ten above his
 sleep.

The New System.

Back in 1914 the Braves got away cn the Hog Train, and rode this route until July. At which point the rest of the league fell dead, and the Braves from fifteen to twenty games in the rear, romped through tC a pennant. Last season the Braves again got another bad start, and were too far behind to make up.
 1916" says Stallings, will be a, different story. For the first time have enough good pitchers to get enough goood pitching. Even if I have two or three in poor shape, there will be others to do the work. We have a better ball club today than when we won a world cham pionship in four straight games. And if we get the start, I expect to get well, the rest of it is an easy guess
 With Speaker missing, the Braves now have a better chance to win in the National league than the Red Sox have in the American.
