HOME TOWN POLICE DEFEAT NEW HAVEN
Win Second Contest in 12 h.
 ninss by 10-9 Score

Sweet revenge was secured by the ball tossers representing the New Britain police department yesterday afternoon when they defeated the New Haven police team by score of 10 to 9, in the second game of a two game series, played at St. Mary's field. But the goal of the local team was not realized until the game had stretched into 12 innings. The game was marked by some of the finest baseball that police teams have ever put up on a local field, although there were times when both clubs seemed to lose their bearings and on each occasion, resulting errors were costly.
 The visiting team went into the ninth inning with one run lead and failed to add to it when they had their time at bat, Palmer. holding them well in hand The local "cop- pers" went to bat for the last half 1 of the ninth with a determination to score at least the one run needed to tie the game, and they did. Cabelus connected wit hone of MeNeales hooks, pasting it for three-bagger. He scored on the next out. New 1 Britain failed to score the additional run necessary to end the game and both teams settled down to battle 1t out in extra innings.
 1 Neither team was able to send R man around the circuit in the 10th or 11th innings, but in the last half of the 18th, Cabelus again jumped into the limeight by getting on base and working himself around 10 where he was in a scoring position when Palmer, delivering the blow that won his own game, singled to right.
 Palmer and Politis shared the batting honors with Cabelus for the locals, the former getting homer and two singles, and Politis landing on the pill for two doubles and d
 single.

Stone Bruises Prescribed
 As Nervous Trouble Cure

Baden Baden, Sept. 4.-Stone bruises on the feet are a sure cure for nervous disorders, in the opinion of a German specialist who sets many of his patients to walking in their barefeet over stony fields, The more tender the patients feet the quicker vii be the cure in tue opin- ion of this expert on nervous dis orders.
 He holds that many nervous per- sons are unable to take their minds off troubles which they brood over constantly and has found over long term of years that it is not possible for many patients to worry about other troubles if they have bruised and swollen feet.
