An attempt to swindle banks in Bridgeport, New Haven. Ansonia and Naugatuck was frustrated this morn- ing when the news that there was'a man travelling about in those cities attempting to cash check drawn on the New Britain NatioRal bank and bearing a forced certiidatlon stamp. The amount that the check called for was $1,2G5.SS and the signature appearing on 1t was Harry Hodges" |" According to information received by William H. Judd of the local bank, the man appeared at the na- tional banks in these four cities and presented the checks. representing himself as an agent for soap com pany who had been transferred to that territory. In New Haven he produced letter of introduction purporting to be from the local bank, but Judd said that the letter was fake, the letter head and other printed matter on it not conforming with the regular letter heads of the local bank.
 The man had presented the check at three of the banks but in each case the bank communicated with the local bank and found that it was forgery. News of the attempt to cash the check was then circu- lated to all banks and when the would-be swindler appeared at Nau- gatuck, the police were waiting for him and placed him under arrest when he presented the check. The Identity of the prisoner could not be learned here.

All-Konsington got the surprise of its young life last night in q twi- light encounter and the surprise was sprung on them by no other than tho Rangers baseball team of New Britain headed by q mighty young but q mighty good pitcher, Salmon, Despite his name, Salmon was no fish for Kensington as he held them down to two meaSly hits although he was beaten by the score of 1 to C.
 kcnsington was unable to solve Salmons delivery and kingo and Satallne. clever first baseman, were the only two to get hits oft his de- livery. Fields on the other hand, was in rare form and he held the Rangers down 10 four lonely bin gles and sent 12 men back with three whiffs.
 Mccormick drove a ball out into right field in the last half Of the ninth inning which simon misiudged Mac got around to third before he could he stopped and moment later, he came in on Venturos sac riflce fly. The run thus scored was enough ot beat the Rangers, but it vas not an earned run because had Simon caught the pill as he should have done, there would have been no runner on.
 The work of Mcknerney was brilliant at short stop. He accepted sig sizzling fielding chances without making one blob. His work was of the highest order and Kcnsington has great deal of respect for the team that played them last night.
 The score.
