! Don't count your Putnam baseball
| champions this year until you hear
| from the railroad mems teams. This
is the good advice to all of the fans
| that came out Of the local yard on
Tuesday, and it means that Putnam is
going to have team in the Railroad
| Mems league. and that games will be
! scheduled with teams of the organiza-
ton representing the cities of Nor
wich, New London. Bridgeport, New
Haven and other places
| Plans haven't been advanced suff1 =
GENTLY as yet to issue the full running
card. as the boss would say, but the
whole. program is in the works and
Putnam will be there with team that
will have the speed of the Merchants
Limited, and then some.
A baseball field has been laid out
near the coal chute, so there will be a

games. To make the city strong in the
rail league, Putnam will have two
| teams, one of which will represent the
freight handling department in the
yard house.
! Following the clearing away of the
long drawn out northeast drizzle that
began to do business Saturday even
ing, some of Putnam's streets and
highways got another bath on Tues
day. but it was a change from oil to
water. Evidently all of the oil wasn't
used up in winning the war Getting
into Putnam from the south on Tues
day was a problem for the motorist
who was perfectly willing that the OF
! should stay where it was put, rather
than get on his car. The state high
way men were spraying the highway
from Grove street cemetery to Alta
waugan and the city force under Supt
Frederick Dumas of the street depart.
ment were operating on South MAR
street. Between the forces the effor
to lay down an oil barrage was grea
success. There was no getting by
without hitting little of it, but will
care one could get through and hurr,
up job was done in covering the OF
with sand. so that there will be littl,
difficulty today. and in a short tim,
the benefit of the oiling process will
be manifest.
