OUTLOOK LOSES
TO LOCAL BOYS
PlentywoOd Boys Win Fastest Game
of the Season By Score of to 2
Winning Basket Comes In Last
Two Minutes of Play.

Friday night the PlentywoOd High
School Bows basketball team motored
over to Outlook to engage with the
fast high school team of that town
and won their game by a score of a
to 2.
AS the score indicates it was prob
ably the hardest fought game of the
season and the Outlook boys who are
much smaller on the average than
the Plentywood boys fought with all
their might and main to prevent de-
feat on their home floor, but the local
lads who had been defeated a few
weeks previously by Outlook would
not be denied and as the ball swung
from one end of the hall to the 9TH
er the basketball fans went wild. Twice
Plentywood made baskets that could
not be counted, cne after the whistle
blew and one which hit the ceiling
and went through the basket.
The game is still a source of talk
at Outlook and the fans of that city
claim it was the fastest game ever
staged in their town.
Both teams showed a calibre Of
basketball that will make them worthy
contenders at the tournament az Vol
Point and it is hoped that one of the
Sheridan county teams Will BRING
home the bacon at this big event II
the high school basketball world.
The Outlook coach is to be congrat
ulated on the basketball team he ha.
turned out. The Outlook High SchoO
naturally does not have the wide rang'
to pick from as high schools hk,
Plentywood and it is quite reasonabl,
to expect that the size of the play
ers will not average as high as thos
of larger places, but nevertheless tn
coach has drilled and built up a fight
ing machine that has given ever
team in the county hard struggl
and their percentage Of wins has bee
next to Plentywood.

BOMB, POWERFUL ENOUGH TO RAzE
 LARGE PART 0F LOWER NEW YORK.
 IS DISCOVERED IN THE COURT HOUSE
HALL BACKS WELD ON COUNCIL REDUCTION Points Out Action Could Be Taken by Legis-
 lature

Senator Edward F. Hall, who as chairman of the committee on char ter revision has seen three attempts to reduce the numerical strength of the common council fail, agrees with Mayor Weld that such a change is desirable, but Is of the opinion that it cannot be accomplished with the consent of the council.
 Any member of the legislature or private citizen is privileged to pro- pose a charter amendment before the committee on cit. and boroughs without the formality of presenting it to the charter revision committee or common council. Several of the most recent changes in this city's charter were enacted in this fashion. It would be possible lo create board of aldermen to supplant the present common council in this way, Senator Hall pointed out.
 The plan thrice proposed provides creation of a board of 12 aldermen, two of whom would represent each district.
 Objection to the council as now constituted is that 1t is too large and unWieldy and that smaller board I ight be inclined to give more tLcr- ough consideration to city business since its members would realize the increased importance of their posi- ton.

FATHER ASKS SIO,000
 FOR DEATH OF CHILD
Boy Received Fatal Burns In Yard of Washing
 ton School

Notice of a claim for s1o,000 against the City of New Britain as a result of the death of Leo Bialek, four year old son of Mir. and Mrs. Stanley Bialek of 42 Pennington avenue, who was burned by bon fire on October IS, has been filed by Attorneys s. Gerard Casale and B. J. Monkiewicz. Constable Frank Clynes served the papers and 1t is expected that hearing will be given by the claims committee after the matter comes before the common council at the November meeting.
 According to the allegation, the janitor at the Washington School lighted the fire in the rear of the Bialek home, which adjoins the school, and the boys clothes be- came ignited. About 1 o'clock the following morning, eleven hours af- ter he was burned, the boy died at New Britain General Hospital.
 The boys father, as administrator, is bringing the action and sets forth that the janitor had been warned on several occasions to desist from the practice of lighting fires on the Bialek property.
 The action Of Frank Biaxali, aged 6, through his parents, against Winifred Cheever for 5000 has been settled out of court. Attorney S. Gerard Casale represented the plaintiff and the action was the re- suit of the injuries sustained by the boy when he was thrown out of an automobile driven by Peter LIuzas, in a collision with Miss Cheever's car at the corner of Elm and Park streets on April 1.
