OVER THE TOP WINS FROM
 KUPFER BROS. co

The Grosvenordale Over the Top baseball team defeated the kupfer Bros Co. of Northhridge, Mass, on the North Grosvenordale grounds last Sunday by to 1 score.
 The game was hard fought through out and but for the errors made by the visitors infield in the late innings the game would undoubtedly have gone into extra frames.
 Coderre pitched a great game with only four hits against him and credit ed with nine strike outs. Mahowski. the hard hitting center fielder of the visitors, who recently made two home runs in one game. was unable to hit Goderreis fast ones. and struck out on three trips to the plate. The game was played in one hour and forty minutes.
 For the Northbridge paper makers Mayhew pitched a good game with only two hits made off his delivery up to the sixth inning. Tn this inning errors by Murphy and Malbeouf fol- lowed by Lewis's two base hit tn left field scored the second run for the bread makers. In the next three innings Mayhew was touched for four hits resul.irs in two more runs and leaving tho score at to l.
 For the visitors the only run scored was a gift by Coderre, when in the third inning Murphy on third and Lozier on first the two runners ad- vanced on balk by the young pitch CT. the first made by him this season.
 For the bread makers, Johnson played a snappy game at first, got a single and scored two runs, while Mahowski's fielding and Murphy's hitting featured for the visitors.
 The attraction announced for next Sunday is the Southbridge A. O. II. team. The Southbridge boys have already defeated the locals in a close game this season and it is expected that another good game will result next Sunday Game is called for 2.30.
 The first game of the Mechanics vile 4. A-Over the Top series will be played on the Meehanicsville field Sunday. August 90.

NEW TRIAL DENIED THE
 LAST PAL OF DIAMONDS
Affidavit of Man on Way to Chair of Death Denounced
 By Judge
Three Pay Death Penal,y.-Fourt
 In Death House

If Anthony Pantano. awaiting the death penalty in the death house at Sing Sing prison. gets new trial t will be because of error found in the last trial by the New York court of appeals. A motion for a new trial. based on an affidavit of one of the condemned mans alleged accomplices made just before he entered the death chamber for execution was de- nounced by the judge who heard and denied the motion The court. in denying the motion. alluded to the author of it as cold blooded bandit who went to the electric chair with a cigar in his mouth and described the affidavit as "the frivolous jesture of a convicted felon"
 Tried Three Times
 Pantano has been tried three times as an aecompliee of the Diamond bro- thers, Morris and Joseph. who, with John Farina. have paid the death penalty for holding up and killing a bank messenger in a New York sub way. Morris Diamond was the man who held up Gardner Sumner of Woodstock with a revolver when caught stealing apples in Mr Sum- ner's orchard and was sent to jail from the superior court in Putnam.
 Pantano. the last of the quartet ar- rested for the New York murder has been tried three times. The first trial resulted in a conviction but the yer dict was set aside on appeal. The second trial resulted in a disagree ment of the jury. The third trial re- suited in another conviction.
 As Farina was about to be execut- ed he signed the following affidavit on which the motion for a new trial was made and denied:
 The Affidavit
 ''To whom it msy concern; I. John Farina, being sound in mind and speaking from my heart and con- science, state that. as far as I know, Anthony Pantano was forced and threatened into giving his information and did not willingly enter into any plot"
 Warden Lewis E. Lawes of Sing Sing signed the document as a wit ness.
 In commenting on the affidavit the judge said:
 Tt would be interesting to know the genesis of this document made on the threshold of eternity. If 1t were an eleventh hour effort to save an innocent man. Farina. it seems to me. could have been generous in his utteranees, more convincing in de- tail. Under the circumstances it's brevitv condemns t. IL is a trivial thing that should not for one moment check the inexorable judgment of this court. !"

Hartford. Aug. IT, i925-ln few weeks the vacation season will be practically over and people will be- gin again to think seriously of politi- cal activities. In former years. when legislative reunions were held, the ops portunity was afforded for an ex- change of views on politics by persons of political experience and who were considered competent to make accu- rate statements of the political senti- ments of their communities. There will be no general reunion this year and it is quite possible that we have had the last of our legislative re- unions. Other gatherings, such as that which is held by the Republicans of New Britain and by the Republican club of New Haven. have taken the place of the legislative reunion IL is held that with local gatherings of the magnitude of those Tn New Brit ain and New Haven sufficient oppor- tunity is given to guage the sentiment of the state. The soundness of tnis view is doubted. The legislative re- union had a place of it's own and gathering. that is essentially partisan, cannot fin the void which the drop ping of the legislative reunion VIII create. If the late Souvenir Taylor was alive and if Major John Buckley was as active in legislative events as he was formerly the legislative re- union would not have been dropped: Tn the fall and later in the year, and in the early months of next year, there ,,iIl he local elections which. in their results. will be accepted by many peo- ple as the barometer of the state election in 1926.
 Industrial Conditions
 The amount received from the tax an the income of corporations was about S7OO. 900 less than it was m 1924. This is significant of the dull ness in manufacturing business Tor the mast year. The trade depression has been felt in Connecticut and perhaps more keenly than in manu- faeturing communities. There IS req. son to think, however, that there VIII be a marked improvement in manu- facturing the coming fall. The m provernent will be particularly felt m the textile industry. The state labor department is confident. that there will be a substantial industrial nm provement in the state this year. Inis opinion is not based on the fact that there has been falling of Tn tne number of applicants for work. IL is to be expected that in the summer when there is plenty of outdoor work there will be an increased demand for working people to do the work Ihe response to this demand will have ths

SAME FINE STUDEBAKERs
 Prices Reduced- Quality Maintained

TT HESE low prices not for new cars built u % sell at new prices.
 They are for Studebaker cars identical with those which have been in tremendous demand al higher prices during the past eleven months. such high quality materials that net profits during per car The rest of the money the public paid us went into making a with scores of thousands of miles Of excess transportation
 These earnings are a triumph for the one-proht bass of manufacture No manufacturer less efficient basis could have made dollar selling Of studebaker quality at Studebaker prices.

 no more yearly models to artihcially depseeiate cars in the hands of owners
 Sales instantly started to soar and have forced the vast Studebaker plants to maintain peak pro- ducton throughout the summer, in the face of declining production for the industry in general
 To ene-proft savings we thus add savings due to long continued peak production. These savings we share with customers in the price reduction announced August Isl.

effect of reducing the number of those who turn to the labor department 10 assist them to secure employment One of the most encouraging things about the industrial situation in the state is the absence of evidence of a tendency to strike on the part of the wage earners. To be sure there has been some trouble in one or two places but 1t has been localized and il is not by any means indicative of general dissatisfaction with labor con- ditions. A general survery of the conditions of the states makes it clear that Connecticut will have it's share of the general prosperity of the na- ton.
 The Connecticut Democracy
 The announcement of Mayor David F.. FitzGerald of New Haven that he will not be a candidate for the Demo cratic nomination for another term in the mayorality of that city has an in- portance which is not confined to the city of which he is chief executive. The Democracy of the state is inter ested in it. There are some who say if means that Mir FitzGerald intends to retire from politics entirely and to devote his time exclusively to the practice of law. He has not been in robust health. But he has recovered his strength and his friends hope that he wi not tax 1t too severely in the future Mr FitzGerald has been classed as one of "the big four" of Democracy of Connecticut. He has been influential in the councils of his party and at times predominantly so. His success at the polls as a candi- date for mayor has attracted atten- ton to him as vote getter. But he did not show the same political strength as a wooer of the suffrages of the electors of the state. IL is likely that his retirement from politi- cal activity, taken with the lamented death of Mayor Kinsella, of Hartford, the retirement of Edward M. Yeo- mans from the state chairmanship to 70 on the bench of the superior court, the possibility that Mir Spellacy. who is Mir. Yeomans law partner, may see that his growing law practice requir- es all his time ir the future, ard that political leadership has lost it's at traction for Mir. Cummings, may re- suit in a complete change in the per- sonnel of the leadership of the De- rnocratic party of the state The hope that springs eternal in the Democrats breast suggests to many Democrats that 1926 will be victory year for the [ Democracy of Connecticut and that to realize it the successors of the pres ent leaders must be in sympathy with the ideals of Democrats.
