And His Nose Is
Broken

After putting the game on ice In the
sixth and seventh innings of yesterday
game on the Berlin street grounds, the
Italians blew up in the ninth inning and
threw the game away by S TO 3 score
The game was a pitchers battle between
Fro for Rutland and Ssrette for the
Italians, with the honors little in favor
of the home pitcher, but errors on the
part OF his feders killed all hopes of a
victory.
| NIahar, who played left field for the
Italians in the early part of the game,
was put out OF commission in the sew
enth inning when he slid into second head
first and later in the same inning he was
lying on the bench when a foul off Gaco's
bat sailed across, hitting him on the nose
and breaking it.
In the first five innings the game went
without either team breaking the ice,
but in the sixth Lavoie doubled into left,
went to third and scored on a sacrifice
hy to left by Comolli Black, the third
man up, raped out another two. base
hit and scored on Stuart's double into
right field. which he tried to stretch into
a triple but was caught at third by
nice throw by Taverill,. The next man
reached first on an error by Flemming
and Calcagni was passed but Sarette
could do no better than fan the air. The
Italians made another run in the seventh
when Lavoie doubled to left and came
home on Comolli's two base blow. The
Rutland team crossed the rubber for the
first time in the eighth inning when
Flemming singled, was forced out at sec
ond by an infeld hit by Terenzini, Teren.

as follows:
AN agreement has been made between
Russia and her allies whereby we are

officials regard it as clearly established
BY international law that the output qf
a German concern, or even a German
controlled corporation in the United
