on on Account of Heat.

The scheduled twilight game in
Meriden tonight between Aiken
sington and Jimmy Burns Recrea-
ton All-Stars, was called off this
morning after a conference between

game will probable be played some
time next week.
The weather has come in with
such terrific heat that the managers
decided, seeing that nothing was at
stake except the baseball game, that
the contest would be cancelled I'M
til more favorable weather comes
around. 1t was thought besides put
ting a burden on the players, that
there would be few fans who would
brave the heat to watch the game.
For these reasons it was thought
better by both managers to post
pone the game until cooler period.
Because of the same excessive neat
