STAMFORD.

The All-Stars played one game Of their scheduled double-header Thanks giving on the Windsor avenue grounds They were beaten in the morning argument by the High school Independents the score being Is to U; It was cold and disagreeable and both teams had a hard time getting a quorum on the field The All-Stars finally started with 10 1-2 men; the right end wasn't as big as gooo sized billiken and the other team didn't pay any attention to him. Right there is where the All-Stars made their big mistake. Several times they could have made a, forward pass to the midget and he would have been unmolested for he had his street clothes on and the opposition didn't pay any attention to him.
 - The well drilled High school lads were too much for tie All Stars and when he went right through the cen ter of the line. He made two Of the touchdowns, both from line plunges in midfe1d. The All Stars were luGky to score to total of 0, the way the line was run. When they got the ball they always had to make about l5 yaros before they got first down. dne e head linesman was frozen up ai5o a9 couldn't get bead on the other sloe of the field but he gets good bead on the ducks when he goes hunting so he's excused. There was not pig enough crowd to pass the hat, ana when the rain set in, the afternoon game with the Stratford A. C. Jrs:, was called off, it being discovered that there were only thirteen water wings in town- smith Saley' anu the Atkinson brothers played a good game yesterday, with all their regu- lars back in the lineup the All Stars expect to play a few more games pe- bore the snow flies and the trolleys stop running.
 According to what information the Public Utilities commission handed 10 Town Manager R. H. Hunter ana the Stratford delegation of protest, Strat- ford must have "patience." It was intimated that nothing would be done to relieve Stratford and Fairfield or the fare increase slipped over a week ago, before the 90 day trial period has been exhausted. Stratfoid folks be- lieve that maybe things will be bad for @ while and then take turn TOT the worse. Just why Suatford should have so much "patience" and so little service, is more than Stratford folks can understand, but they are hoping the proverbial worm will turn before those old wooden cars fall apart en- ttrely.

 Because of several robberies in the Paradise Lawn section within the past few weeks, some of the residents are afraid to leave their homes for either a. long or short period during the evening, without allowing the house to be brilliantly illuminated; and cautioning the neighbors to call the police if any of the lights go out. Some night a fuse will blow out and the police will get hurried sum mons.
 And now with Thanksgiving over, here is the best thing in town to be thankful for. Under direction or City Engineer Paul Goodell, work has portion of Barnum avenue from city line to Main street, that lies between the outside rail of the trolley tracks and the concrete paving. This VIII the rails still unpaved, but the area | of probably two feet on each side of tho roadway will be a big help, and will enable motorists to pass other | cars and machines parked by the | roadside, without going into mo man s land" The state, the town and the i Connecticut company are to share in l the paving, the trolley company un- l der the new ruling being liable to l nine inches of the work outside the 1 rail. done on this street the entire balance | unfinished was to be paved by the trolley company. but those re- sponsib1e did not push the troll ley company, and conptl them to pave their share, with the result that the statet and town are going to have added expense. However. the portion to be paved this fall, will be a big aid to travel, and will relieve much of the riding on Stratford avenue. and perhaps another year the state, town and Connecticut company will see their way clear to pave the balance, between the rails, which would then make Barnum avenue a complete and finely paved road all the way from Main street, Stratford, to the Pequonnock river.
