.Jewett City. Dec 2e.-The famous Round Hill farm was the scene Mon day of s large gathering of people from near and far, who came in response to the invitations for the golden wedding anniversary of Mir. and Mrs. James B. Palmer.
 That Mir and Mrs. Palmer have been so closely and pleasantly connected with local affairs and people for half cen lury, answers for the fact that all those who SO heartily joined In the celebra- ,ion Monday were not only guests but friends.
 It is an every where acknowledged fact that no better known breeder and ex- hibitor of blooded stock is to be found any where within the borders of New England, than James E. or Round Hill Palmer. as he is often called MT. Pal mer comes from an old family, his Hrs, ancestors in America being Waiter Pal iuer. who was born in Nottingham. Eng land in 1898.

Although wartime prohibition went in to effect July 1, 1919, followed by con-
 stitutional prohibition on January 16,
 1920, liquor dealers stuck to their li- censes for the most part and added to the revenues of the counties during the 1919 fiscal year. The revenue in the 1919 year was, however, not as large as in the days before prohibition, but in 1920 not even the slim return of a lit tie more than s1,0OO 900 was available from liquor licenses. The following ta- ble shows the revenue obtained from li- quor licenses in the 919 fiscal year and which was entirely wiped out in 1920

DRIVER RETURNS
 BOXING PERMIT
Larry Williams Unable to Box in This City Owing
 to Many Engagements.

Sam Driver, manager of Larry Williams has turned back his box ing permit for October 12 to the Box ing Commission and the Walnut Attn letic club has put in bid for the permit. Driver says he obtained the against some good man, but he has agreed to have Williams take Jack Dempsey's place in Boston on Octo- Der g against John Lester Johnson, while on the 14th Williams will box Harry Greb at Battle Creek, Mich, and in November Williams will box Kayo Brennan at Madison Square Garden which is under the direction of Tex Rickard.
 These bookings will keep Williams busy and because of them Driver returned his permit to the Boxing Commission. The Walnut club wants the permit to stage three 12 round bouts and the feature will be be- tween Johnny .Mary Ann'' Allen and Young Rector of New York.
 The application was made by Matchmaker Mike Healey, who in the last bouts held by this club, appear ed only as a figure head and in reality was only the announcer, while James Crossman was the real promoter and the Walnut Club ob- tained only a percentage of the re- ceipts to have the bouts run off un- der the clubs name.
 According to published accounts Crossman will be financially interest ed in .tke coming show if the permit is granted to the Walnut Club. The last show run by -Crossman- under the name of the Walnut club came near ending in tragedy for Allen knocked his opponent through the ropes os hard many feared for the boxer.

WANTS TO BREAK
 FIRST PLACE TIE
Manager Neville's Team
 Out For First Place in : This Weeks Games.

Manager Neville of the local polo team will entertain the Fall River quintet tomorrow night at the Casino and in that game will make an effort to break the tie for first place with New Bedford, which team lost to Lowell Saturday night on it's home floor, while the Bridgeport team was trouncing Worcester. The New Bed ford club put, up a strong battle to win and forced the Lowell five into two extra periods before the final re- suit, to 6. was reached in favor of the invaders.
 During the fourth period neither team was able to count, but in the fifth or second extra period the Lowell outfit whipped the ball into the cage for the deciding tally. Davies, the Lowell second rusher, placed the ball in the net.
 In the game at the Casino Saturday night Bridgeport had things about all it's own way. Superior team play gave the home outfit their chance to pull into the lead and there was no question of supremacy after the first session when the Bridgeport club caged three goals in succession.
 The Bridgeport team will have three home games this week. Tonight the Mechanics travel to Providence for a game and they will be back to- morrow night to play Fall River. On Wednesday night the homeless Wor- cester team will be back again for another game. On Saturday night the Lowell team, which forced the New Bedford club into five periods, will be the big attraction at the Casino.

YALE DISPLAYS
 OLD TIME GAME
Trample Lighter Carnegie Tech and Roll Up Score 2
 of A to o.

That Yale has not abandoned the old-fashioned football style of line plungihg was evident in the opening game at the bowl on Saturday, when Ellis stalwarts trampled the lighter Carnegie Tech eleven to the tune of A to 0. Against the terrific battering ram assaults of the Blue warriors Carnegie was helpless, but funbles also went a, long way in contributing to the downfall of the Pittsburgh crew.
 Before the start of the season, foot ball fans had been hearing a lot about the new open attack of the Yale team. If such system is being developed, Tad Jones must be keeping it secret. There was certainly no evidence of such a styleasof play in Saturdays game as far as Yale was concerned.
 Yale's regular backfieId, Kempton, A1drich, Kernan and Webb, showed great power in hitting the line. but Kempton was the only man who showed much ability to keep going after he got started. The others hit the opposing line with a smash, but seemed to lack the something to push through the attack. The trick of keeping ones feet after hitting the line, must be further developed if Yale intends to use the old tactics against line as heavy as it's own.
 The baility of the Yale back1eld as a defensive unit is an unknown quan- tity. Not once did the Carnegie backs succeed in smashing the Yale line.

 Shows There Will Be Large Attendance :

With Mike O'Dowd. one of the greatest fighters in the business, and Frank Carbone ready for their 12- round scrap at the Casino tonight and a big demand for tickets, the Casino promises ot be packed to the doors for Al Jennings show which also includes three other good bouts. Both fighters in the main event a.rriv- ed in Bridgeport this morning and this afternoon weighed in at o'clock. The main bout should be a slam-bang af- fair for O'Dowd is a regular fighting machine, while Carbone who knocked Jackie Clark down three times iD their setto at Cincinnati recently is to be considered in the running tonight
 The supporting card should bring out considerable action. Patsy Bo- gash, who has been leveling them rapidly of late. is billed to meet Young Dyson and unless the latter keeps his chin covered continually Patsy is likely to hang something on him. Dyson can stand a whole lot of pun ishment but the tougher they are the harder they fall. according to Patsy, who swings his right like Q. pile driver in rapid action. This match is scheduled to go ten rounds.
 The eight round battle between Joe Hall and Young Luby is another scrap that should be interesting. while the first preliminary between Young Null ligan and Mickey Devine is expected to be a corker for action.

EATING SEASONS CLASSIC TOMORROW INBROOKLY LYN

 Waiting For Indians
Demand for Seats Causes Brooklyn Management Wish They Had Park Twice the Size of Ebbets Field Thousands of Dollars to Be Returned
 to Many Fans
to Many Fans

It has been generally expected, however, that Burleigh Grim es would get the assignment. Grimes is Robby's S ace, but Grimes is also a spitball pitcher and speed merchant. As the Indians are supposed to love speed, Grimes may not start unless the skies are overcast, in which event his fog ball would be just the diet.
 It will not be surprising if Robinson should send Sherrod Smith Or Rube Marquard to the firing line. The Cleveland batting order is top heavy with left handed batsmen and your Uncle Wilbert is said to have a hunch that one of his southpaws will turn 'em back.
 Iris Speaker has not a big string of pitchers to choose from. He must se- lect one of two hurlers. If he sends his best against the Robins, it is prac- tically certain that Bagby or Cove1es- kfe will be chosen to pitch the opener. Speaker might spring a surprise by sending Duster Mails against the Dodgers. but this is scarcely expected.
 Without Band Music.
 The rival teams will have to go through their warming up exercises without the sweet strains of band music to help them jazz things up. Col. Ebbets announced today that in order to accommodate more patrons, the Brooklyn club decided to dispense with the band. So the New York end of the big series is not going to be syncopated.
 Mayor John F. Hlyan will start the two teams off on their marathon after coin and glory by tossing out the first ball.
 As the series opens in the National Leagues back yard, either Bill K1em or Henry ODay will be behind the plate. Tom Connolly will be stationed at first base, Klem or O'Day at second and Will Dineen at third.
 The influx of baseball writers got under way. Experts from all points of the compass arrived with coronas and thirStS.
 Iris Speaker is going to have plenty of expert advice in the big series. Joe Wood and Larry. Gardner know quite was a power against Brooklyn in 1e16

 1920 PENNANT RACES

The curtain fell yesterday on the 1920 baseball pennant races of the major leagues, the races with all their closeness and uncertainty and-at the finish-shocking scandal. It is all over so far as the pennants are con- cerned, and the only bodies left to go ahead are the Chicago Grand Jury and the Brooklyn and Cleveland clubs in the worlds series.
 It has been the biggest year in point of attendance in the history of baseball and the biggest in point of individual performance-the wonder full home run hitting of Babe Ruth in the history of baseball. The Dodgers wound up with an uphill victory over the Braves and for the last week have given unmiStakable evidence of their fighting ability. The Cleve1ands. with their pennant won, lost their. last game.
