PIONEERS MEET TOMORROW
Local Eleven TO Show Wares To Home Crowd For First
Time-Contest Will Be Continuation of Traditional
Rivalry Between Hartford and New Britain-Sev-

Despite the fact that the All-New
Britain football team will be out Of
town tomorrow, New Britain foot
ball fans will have an opportunity 70
witness a battle royal between the
Falcons A. C. OF this city and the
Pioneers of Hartford. at Memorial

The Falcons are purely local

from the Hardware City ranks OF
semi professionals and under the
direction of Coach John r. Tohin,
mcntoret the Corbin Red Sox base

driving football machine.
1t will be a continuation of the
ancient fCud between Hartford and
New Britain and the Hardware City

the honors Of the game. The Hart

tomorrow will be a squad of worthy
opponents who will attempt 10 turn
the almost impossible trick OF being

This will be the first showing Of
the Falcons team before local fans
and followers OF the destinies OF To-
cal teams will be out IN force TO get
a line on one of the teams that is
in line for the championship OF the

! Reports from Hartford state that
several hundred rooters for the
Capital City eleven will accompany
the team here, but there will BE-
enough rooters for New Britain pres
ent TO offset all the noise OF Hart
fordites will he able to make.
The two teams are fairly well
matched and because OF the tradi-
tlonal rivalry between the two cities
in every branch OF sport, an old
fashioned scrap is predicted for the
afternoon. When any New Britain
team meets any Hartford team, the
fur is sure to fly In all directions
and with the Falcons In the proven
bal pink. they should smother
the visitors under an avalanche Of
points.
Another argument to make thn
game more interesting is the fact
that the two teams have played
against Bay State aggregations dur
ing the present season and return
bookings are being held up pending
the outcome OF tomoFrow's battle.
Both teams pleased large crowds on
their showing In Massa chusetts and

Play Rehearsals Tax Patience and Temper
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Rehearsals are trying periods. Ev-
erybody seems to be wearing his
nerves outside his skin. The question
whether the actor should take three
steps to the right and pause with his
left hand on the back of chair, GEN.
ter, before proposing to the heroine
or whether he should do it from the
hearthrug, with his left elbow on the
mantelpiece, may threaten the friend
ship of lifetime.
The author wants him to do 1t from
the hearthrug-is convinced that from
there and there only can he convey to
the heroine the depth and sincerity OF
his passion. The producer is positive
that true gentleman would walk
around the top of the table and do 1t
from behind a chair. The actor
comes to the rescue. He feels he
can do 1t only from the left-hand bot
tom corner of the table.
"Oh, well, If you feel as strongly
about 1t as all that, my dear boy"
says the producer, "that ends 1t. It's
you who've got to play the par"
do you know" says the author. i
think he's right. 1t does seem to
come better from there"

which was illustrated by stereopticon

a certain point in the lecture the col

reached him-after having been hand

had only about 10 cents in it, and he
held back the silver dollar which he
had expected to give and fshed out a
nickel for the plate. He said: IF

When we had had our swim and

was not boy, as were Jack and i.
There were lines in the cheeks and
about the eyes which, magnified by the
dence that Spool had known more of

his usual light-hearted conversation.
Presently he was talking of Eng
land; easing, perhaps, the homesick-
ness in his heart by calling up scenes
of leafy, lanes and misty sun-shot land
scapes linking deeply into his life. He
had tales of London as well; tales of
art treasures and music and theaters
all alight with life and beauty; tales
of gravestones marking the great of a
nation with a history reaching back
into the early obscurity of western
civilization. Something about the
pride he showed in the great deeds of
the past seemed to strike us strangely

still so much in the future and whose
greatest deeds were still to be done.

CHAPTER VIII

1t was the first day of August of
that first year on the prairies that
Jack and l hitched the oxen to the
wagon, threw on board kit consist

blanket for each of us, said brave
but undemonstrative good-by to the
girls, and turned our faces to the
older settlements. We were setting
forth to earn what money we could
during the short season of high wages.
Our own oat field could wait; we
would cut 1t for feed, anyway, and a
little frost wouldn't matter
On the second day out, as we halt

we were suddenly aware of the rumble
of an approaching vehicle and the
tones of lusty voice, lifted in some
thing evidently intended for song.

The Substitute

Little Betty was anxious to own a
cat, but her father had great aver

to all her pleadings. He did say, how
ever, that she could have a dog If she
could find a nice, well-behaved one
that wouldn't bite the baby.
One day while walking with her
mother, Betty saw kitten frisking
along beside her.
She turned wistful face to her
mother and said: "Oh, mummy! See

later / saw tears on the cheeks of
both. It was then remembered that
