 A meeting of the PlainviIle football team members was held last night at the home of Allan Bailey Plans were prepared for thG coming season committee was also appointed tt, n,ak. arrangements for securing necessary funds for the support of the team and 1t is possible that several business men and football enthusiasts will be ap- preached on the matter. Socia! events will also be held in an effort to raise money for uniforms and other eouip- ment needed. The committee to look after this matter is: Salvador Morino. Meyer Sneideman, Edward Naaman. John Murphy and John Breen. It is the hope of the management that the fans will support the players this sea son as they have done during the base ball period. Top notch opponents will be secured to play and all games will be held at Rockwells Field.
 Harry Bonney of this town, has been secured to assist Allan Bailey in the coaching end. MT. Bonnev is a we'll known football and basketball player and with these two men on the coa ach- ing line, the team is confident of a first class aggregation to commence the season with. On Monday evening at 5:3O o'clock, the first practice game of the season will be held at Rock
 wells Field. Any young men of the town desiring to make the team are urged to put in an appearance and be
 given a tryout

 quested to appear: Naaman, McGib-
 bons, Debbils, Daniels, Collela, John son, Breen, Morino, DeRazio, Cam bridge Berner Farmer Phelps Birn-

A studebaker touring car was de- Stroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. It was owned by resident of Moun- tain View, whose name could not be learned The fire started when the owner was passing through that sec tlon and a little girl noticed f1ameY
 7lnder the front seats. The local fro department was called to the scene but tho car waa badly damaged on their
 arrival that little aid could be given. truck owned by this man was dam 'ged ny fire while being driven from Southlngton some time ago.
 Another failure in the fire signal system was encountered when the alarm was sent in yesterday. It is not the fault of lack of steam at the 6rlstol Mills, nor the operators at the telephone exchange where the alarms are sent from. It appears that some thing is wrong with the mechanism of the whistle itself and although the proper pressure of steam is given it., the whistle fails to respond
 School Reunion.

 merce being held at Momauguin to- day. A line of about 20 automobiles
 left the front of the club rooms at
 exactly 12:30 o'clock. A dinner was

 Baseball Game Tomorrow. 1 The Plainville A. c. will play the Independents of New Britain at AL Hens field tomorrow afternoon at the usual time. It is expected that lthis will be a hotly contested game
 as their opponents are the champions of the Industrial league in New Brit
 ain. Plainville will have their favor ties, Griffin, Phelps and Kilduff as
 the battery, while the Independents
 will use Smith and Hart.
 The management of the team an- nounces that should the support of the local fans falls short as it has been doing, this will be the last game at the local field. The attendance is
 seen to be wagering at each game and the team has to put up with great expense to have out of town players
