After the game with the Gas-cos last night in which the lawyers were given the short end of the score, a challenge for return game was inn mediately hurled at Manager Lynch of the winners. It is rumored he told the attorneys to play the police or some other slow team. The police will certainly be glad to hear that.
 While much has not been heard Of the high school quintet so far this year it would seem that they have a real aggregation. Any team that can beat Meriden, South Manchester and New Haven, must be the goods.
 The firemen are all set for their game with the police next summer. They have the balls, bats and gloves. hll they need to do now is to learn how to use them.
 If the All-New Britains can do to the Y. M. H. A. of Hartford this coming Saturday night what they did to the West Sides last Saturday night New Britains cup of joy will be over flowing.
 The West Side manager explained the absence of Herman, coach of the Suffield school basketball team, and star on the Hartford aggregation, by saying that he thought the lineup he brought down would do. It certainly did; but not very much.

and neighbors.
Here in the hills where he lived his
life until few years ago. when he

"a wanderer on the face of the earth"
he found a welcome that touched him
SO deeply that he stood unafraid with
tears coursing his cheeks, while he
sought for words that might express
his emotion.
'In the presence of this welcome, IN
the sight of these friendly faces" the
Democratic presidential candidate
said. my heart goes out from me and
/ must wait to speak until it comes
back to me again.

caprice, not without forethought that

back here for strength, for sympathy,
for encouragement and for support.

heartened for the heavy task that lies
ahead.
