In . few days Edgerton began
to experience the intolerable SEN
sations of q bone which is mend

He had become very restless and
impatient; and. finally, the doctor
let him wear his arm In q sling and
go out to hunt for a Job.
He had no trouble in securing

It rather surprised him to find
out that tho big. blue-eyed. snub-

constructed. but still bearing the
ancient name.
And after q while he learned
that Mr.. Dineen seemed to be inter.
ested in almost every house In
New York that dealt in structural
or ornamental iron.
Edgerton's duties began with
ledger work. And the evening
that he drew his first pay he wrote

Ashland vs. TaftviIIe

With an even break with the weath CT man, the biggest crowd of the sea- son will turn out at Ashland Park, Jewett City, Sunday to witness the battle between the two biggest rivals in this section.
 When Taftville and Ashland get to- gether the fans are expectant of real fireworks and they generally get their expect.
 Only a half game separates these teams in the Eastern Connecticut League standing, which means an add ed stimulus for each club and their followers.
 This game was scheduled for the 4th but as each team had an open date for Sunday it was ecided to mix it up at could see any reason for prolonging ths chance to get at the other.
 As both teams are composed of prac- tica1ly all local material the feeling is even more intense than usual.
 Manager Chase of Ashland has but one change in his lineup. With Bill Ringland playing second he has bol- stered up position that has been weak all season, and in addition Bills war club will come in handy on the of fense.
 The pitching selection for both teams is in question, great deal depending on the selection for Saturdays game.
 Manager Frohmader of Taftville re- fers in the article which appeared in these columes recently, to the fact that Liberte to date has yet to regis ter his first win over Taftville.
 The old saying of the bucket going to the well, etc, holds true now as always. and Spike in his present form can stand the Taftville club on their heads, and Ashland is counting on the game he pitches, which will probably be Sunday.
 On the other hand Morin of Taftville generally has his work cut out for him when working against Ashland. The breaks of the game cant always go against the same club.
