 A counterfeit sl0 bill was ten dered yesterday to Joseph Neri of the Neri Bros. store in the keri block by stranger. The bill was handed to Mir. Neri's daughter in payment for some cigars which the owner of tho bill wished 10 purchase and it was called to the attention of Joseph Ner., who was in the store. Mir. Neri, who received the information concerning the spurious notes from the New Britain police, discovered that it was counterfeit and notified the man who rendered it of his find. The stranger expressed surprise but refused to leave the bill in MT. Neri's hands and left tho store.
 A. A. Mcleod, secretary and treas urer of the Plainville Trust Co.,, is- sued a warning this morning to all business men and residents of Plain vile to be on the lookout for the spurious bills. Any bill which ap- pears suspicious should, according to the law, be reported and if one is received and detected, it should be held until it's status can be ascer- tained.
 Mir. Neri, in explaining the actions of the stranger who rendered him the counterfeit yesterday, stated that the man seized tho bill saying that it was not counterfeit and left the store seemingly in a hurry. He stat cd that he did not know who he was but was attracted in the first place by his actions. He appeared nervous and anxious 10 get away quickly and al first expressed indignation that the bill should be termed counterfeit, but when Mir. Neri suggested that a policeman be called 10 have the bill examined, the man seized the bill and left in hurry. He did not volunteer 10 pay for the cigars with another bill.
 Lack Baseball Field.
 There will probably he no baseball played in Plainville this year. accord ing 10 present indications. as the field commonly known as Rockwell's field will not be available because of its transfer recently. The baseball dia- mond is being absorbed into building lots and stakes are already set out and tho diamond will be wiped out In the development of the property. There isn't any other place available for baseball diamond and at the present time the probability of sce- Ing local teams in action this year is very slim.
 Despite This. st. Mary's team Is progressing with plans for the com- Ing season and the management will hook up for out-of-town games as much as possible. First practice was held yesterday with about 30 can- lidates turning out. Some speedy work was witnessed from among the cookies and most of last years vet ,rans were present. Lefty" oakes, ocsl slab artist. and Frazier have ,ecn selected as coaches and these wo men expect 10 mold strong line out Of the material present at he practice.
 It is the hope Of ihe youngsters | yho are keeping baseball alive in l 'lainville that someone will come | orth with some suggestion as 10 low 10 secure home diamond, but | t inc present lime their hopes are | t low ebb because each day sees the | ,assing of the only place in Plain- file where athletics have been ear- jed out during the past year. The | 'assing of EockHell's field spells the | nish Of baseball here unless some arrangements are made whereby a cid can be used. The hundreds of | ans interested in the team that made uch a good record last year will be !, breed 10 travel out-of-town if they re 10 see their favorites in action his coming season.
