PLANS
NOW BEING MADE
Fort du Pont Club Will Not be
in Wilmington Football
Association.

Failure Of the Fort du Pont foot
ball team to have a representative
present at last evenings meeting of
the Wilmington Football Association
resulted in the Fort being dropped
from the association and five teams
will comprise the league, playing a
schedule of eight games. This ar
rangement will give local teams a
chance TO arrange games with out
of-town clubs as there will be an
open date each Saturday.
Other important features of the
meeting were the posting of the
forfeits by the teams and the ques-
ton of officials for the league. Presi-
dent Greenstein submitted about 20
names OF competent football men for
the managers TO choose from and the
following men were selected: Gersten-
berg. Dunn. Donahue. Whitehead,
Ryan. Other officials who are also
eligible for use are: Wintrup, Rud-
ley, Mckinney. Prettyman. Gabriel
McGonigle. FoUlke and Boggs.
The dropping OF the Fort team will
make the league a strictly Whining
/ ton organization which was the in
|, tention at first. but several teams
thought that the soldiers should be
given a chance, but due TO the fac,
| that they have shown little interest
/ TO date they were dropped as q posi-
| bility, and Il was decided to go ahead

eleventh round Of n scheduled Is
round bout at Ebbets Field last night
after n most sensational bout.
Buff was foored three times in the
tenth round and this weakened him
so that his seconds had to toss in the
towel to save him further torture after
27 seconds OF the eleventh had been
fought. Indeed. Buzz did little fighting
In this round. He was fiddling aimless-
ly. cut and bleeding, trying to get his
talons on the squint-eyed little de-
mon before him.
Villa hooked hard right to the
chin. and. as Bun began to sag. villa
looked appealingly toward Burs
corner. Villa is n gentleman and a

man again. He turned toward Bufl
gain and hooked him with a left. The

Str0tfOrd Road In Use
For 283 Years, Closed BY
Orders Of TOzUn Council

Stratford's town council has done
many things, some wise and some
unwise. The latest of the latter is
the closing of a road to the rear of
Christ church which runs from the
Post road to Elm street, thence con-
Meeting with Ferry boulevard, elimin-
atinS several blocks travel through
the center of the town.
For the past 2S5 years the road
has been in use and residents of the
old town are indignant at its closing.
They say that the council ordered
the street closed at a secret meeting,
but this is denied by members OF
the council, who say that the hearing
was advertised. Now the residents
are scanning papers looking for the
notices.
A Ball Ground.
Signs have been placed, closing the
road to all traffic. The reason given
by some councilmen for the closing of
the road is to make a ball ground for
tom has been to play in the road near
the old burying ground to the rear
of the church.
Nevertheless, the road has a very
interesting history, Stratford was set
tied in 1893. The center of the town
was where Hard's corner is at present.
At this place was the post office and
several stores. People in the north
eastern section of the town first broke
the path to the center, 28S years
ago.
Old Church Built
In 1907 Christ church, the oldest
Episcopal church in Connecticut, was
and the road was put to
great service by the good people of
the town who came to meetings on
Sundays and weekdays. The road
was put on the town maps but for
some unknown reason was never given
a name and to this day it is name
less,

Sheriff Denied
Bond Renewal

Deputy Sheriff Wense1 G.. Ste1ger has
been denied a renewal of his bond by
the Massachusetts Bonding & Insur-
ance Co, until such a time as there
is no legal action taken against him.
THOMAS Demas, who conducts a
restaurant in this city lis suing Steig-
Ter for $4,000 because of a mistake
made by Steigler in closing his res
taurant when it had been established
that he was not the Peter Demas
mentioned in the writ.
This action on the part of the bond
ing company will automatically make
it impossible for Steig1er's re-appoint-
ment as sheriff unless another bond
ing company or person or persons
furnish the required bond necessary
for a sheriff holding office. Under
the Connecticut statutes a deputy
sheriff cannot perform the duties of
that office until he has furnished a
bond of SO, 900 and conditioned that
he will faithfully discharge the. duties
of the Office and answer all damages
which any person may sustain by
reason of his unfaithfu1ness or ne
glect.
