TWO NEW BRICK BUILD.
INGS TO BE ERECTED

Excavating for the foundations for
two brick business buildings Is under.
way on the lots owned by J. s. An.
drews and J. R. Butler just north Of
the Arcadia Iron Works. The di.
mensions of each Of these buildings will
be 3Ox9O, and both will be built under
the same contract.
Doubtless this property will justify
all the expectations Of the owners from
revenue producing standpoint, as
these stores will be well located and
convenient to those coming into town
from every direction.
Mr.. Andrews states that his build
ing will be for rent. Mr.. Butler will
doubtless occupy his building.
There is talk Of one or more Other
brick buildings in addition to those
above mentioned, being erected within
the next few months.

pIares Hartford Management.
 Nau Haven club officials and sor;hes today claim that the HarCoru management was more to blame Ior the affair than Thorpe TOT the hnrst There were 2,000 fans at the eanoes partisans from both cities.
 Tborne was removed from the Hartford lineup after the sixth 1nn1ns of the first game when ms Work oe came so poor as to arouse use fHe bie condi- tion would be much improved by tne time for the second game, put ms playing then was worse than III tn5 first game. The climax was reached when he appeared at the plate for the final time in the sixth inning, pat ting left handed, and he struck out He was then again removed rom the game.
 Near Riot Prevails.
 All during the first and secono games when the fans saw that Thorpe wasn't playing as they expect ed him to, he was subject to criticism Thorpe, it must be said that some of the remarks weren't what they should have been; in fact, they were entirely unca1led for. However, loslns all sense of what his reputation as an athlete was and still is. Thorpe proceeded to invade the stands TOT inc purpose of cleaning out the spec tators who persisted Tn rlalns .l. nit,t t,a
 
 was dressed, was halted by seVeral policemen, but his actions caused near riot. -
 Little or no. attention was paid to the game as the spectators ran around in all directions craving for action 'eThorpe,' says a New Haven writer, ssshould have controlled h1mself anu not gone into the stands, even though the remarks at him bordered on NuI- gar It is a bigger man who passes them unnoticed than one who reSents them and causes an uncaled TOT scene It was unfortunate that Thorpe should have been in such a combative mood, as under ordinary circumstances he is a mighty inc fel- low and a peaceful chap.
 Thorpe, upon his first appearance at the plate, was in no condition to play ball. and it is believed that the management of the Hartford team was strictly at fault for allowing him to play. His reported illness ore vented him from even swinging the bat prtoperly. as those who have seen him in action before could easily see His work in the field was amazingly poor, this fact coming to prominence in the second gamF when he got ms only chance of the day.
 Hartford Comment.
 The COurant, this morning, said:
 "OutSide of the excitement caused by the invasion of the grandstand by Jim Thorpe and the fussilade of bin- gles that was driven into the various gardens by the battering followers of Bill Donovan there wasn't much stir ring at the ball field.'
