The Plainvil1e Athletic club copped | the pennant of the Hartford County l League, when they defeated the Man | chester players at Aliens field Satur- l day afternoon by the score of to 2. l The game was hotly contested, it be- I ing the deciding game of the league. Lord and Kilduff were the battery for the Plainville team and played excel lent ball. The Manchester players did not have a show with the local men. The management of the Plainville
 team will be presented with a silver
 loving cup as trophy and it will be
 displayed in store window when re-
 ceived. The local team was in excel
 lent form and the fact that they were
 the winners of the pennant speaks
 we'll fol the efforts of the manage
 ment to please the fans. The team
 this year was undoubtedly the best
 that had ever played on a diamond
 for some time in this vicinity. It was
 strengthened with several ld-timers
 and new men as we'll.
 The plsinville Athletic club also was the winner of the local championship
 when they made the Aces of this town bow down to defeat Sunday at Aliens
 Field to shut-out game. The score
 was to 0 when the ninth inning rolled in. The Aces were also treated to a r,o-hit game and made seven er- TOTS to the bargain. Phelps and Kill duff was the battery for the Plain vile A. C., while the Aces had Olson and Conklin for their battery. Olson allowed the big team to get nine hits. This game settled the series of three games between the two teams. It also settled the many arguments as to which team was the best. The Aces however, are a lighter team and should be given credit for their game ness in attempting to beat the heavier players. The Aces are playing ex- cellent ball and are now sure winners of the Central Connecticut League pennant

 President A. F. Rockwell of the To- cal pant of the Rockwell-Drake Manufacturing company, now the standard Steel and Bearings company, announces that the Philadelphia plant will soon be moved to Plainville when | enough trade warrants such Q pro- cedure. It has been noticed by many people, the decided activities which | have been going on at the local plant | and it is probable that operations will | on a full swing within a l period of several weeks. Although | MT. Rockwell gave out a statement | that the plant would operate some | time ago, it turned out that but few | tool makers and machinists were hired This was solely for the purpose of putting the factory back into shape again after the lengthy shutdown. The fact that the Philadelphia plant will be located here will bring joy to the hearts of many Plainville men who af 1ox time. The town has been dull and quiet since the plants ceased their operations and the outlook for bril- liant future was decidedly poor. The plant employees some 400 men, and hopes are held out for brighter day to come. Ball bearings will be the main output.
