stopped as was attested this morning
 when a state inspector who refused
 to divulge his name, was forced to
 chase a Massachusetts car that was
 travelling at approximately 30 miles
 an hour. The inspector noticed the
 speeder near the Gwatkin residence
 and was not able to stop the fleeing
 car until it had reached the top of
 Damon's hill, where he forced the
 driver to pull to the side of the road and show his license and registration. The driver said he was hurrying home
 from the shore and did not realize the speed at which he was going. The inspector gave him a warning that If he was brought to his notice again it would go hard with him.
 Avon Defeats All-Kensington.
 The All-Kensington baseball team was defeated to in a nip and tuck game in Avon with the fast team of that town Sunday. The issue was not decided until the last man was out. Kensington staged a 'rally which nearly pulled the game out of the fire in the last inning when the batters landed on the Avon twirler who up to this time had the Ken sington team eating out of his hand. The first man up in the ninth for kensington hit one out of the lot and this seemed to inject some life into the rest of the Kensington team. The Avon twirler was taken out. The final rally fell out short of producing the tieing run although the Kensing- ton rooters were well pleased with the fighting spirit which the members of the team displayed.
 Members of the team will practice at the school grounds tonight. All are requested to be present.
 Field Day Success
 The joint field day of the Kensing- ton and Berlin Mems Bible classes, which was held at the community house grounds Saturday afternoon, was voted huge success by all who attended and it is the plan of the members to make the event an annual one. The six legged race was Chin csc puzzle to all who pere present and it was almost impossible to ascertain who had won. It is the opinion of many of those who were present that if some of the participants were to train, Charley Paddock, the holder of the worlds sprinting record, would find his laurels in danger. After the dust had cleared away from the | grounds anu the various calls and | shouts of encouragement to the pitch | CTS of the baseball had subsided an | attempt was made to determine the | score, but was abandoned as the | scores had apparently became so in- crested in the game that they had slipped up on some of the more i'm. rortant points. Although rooters for both were strong in their declarations hat their respective teams had been he victor it was decided to call of .he official score and let it be called a lie so that neither pitcher would have his record spoiled.
 In the tug-of-war, the Kensington cam gave its rooters something to TOW over. There were dark rumors ,fioat, however, that the members of he Kensington team had eaten heavy n preparation for the event and that hey had been holding secret practices n the dead of night so as to be cer ain that no scouts could get line on hem.
 After the athletic events were over were served and many were heard of the man. Ter in which the field day program vas run off.
