LIGHTERS KEEP GOING
Take Clarence Lanpher's Engineers Into Camp To The Tune of s to i Last Night.

The Connecticut Light E5 Power Co.,, baseball team added another
 victim to it's long list last night at

Lanpher started in the box with ResteIlf catching for the engineers but he de- cided in the fifth inning that his strong suite was basketball and he retired in favor of Dave Ellison. kilduff and Griffin worked for the Light Co.,, and ''Tedders" was in rare form. Ed Mccarthy and Ed Barron gave both Lanpher and Ellison mo- ble support.

This is positively the last time these two will meet, according to Vincent Kiernan. as the Light Co. wants some opposition and the rail- road gang cant furnish if.
 Yesterday afternoon, committee of frock-coated gentlemen from Spring x Buckley's called on the Light Co. team and presented them with an aluminium loving cup as token of honor to the victors in the game Monday night. Although there are no legs on it, the Light Co. has claim to the purple handle and Nom BeGley's Spring X Buckley crowd will attempt to win the handle back next Tuesday night when the two out fits clash again. The handle must be won three successive times for permanent possession.

New York, June 9-In its weekly hardware market summary Hard ware Age will say tomorrow:-
 Reasonable hardware merchant disc is selling actively in all the important wholesale hardware mar ket centers, Jobbers generally are very busy. There are more requests off rapid deliveries than has been experienced in eight or nine years. This is said to indicate that retail stocks on the average are very light.

 Retailers find business very good on warm days but say that consumer demand is not very heavy and that this buying follows the weather very closely. Dealers are as busy as job- bers nor are they as optimistic, &C., cording 10 reports received.

 He made six home runs.
 Yesterday Ruth once again open ed up on the Detroit hurlers, for this year he seeks another record and the two homers he tore from the service Of Stoner and Holloway placed him six days ahead of his 1921 effort.
 In the season that he registered 50 circuit punchers Ruth had seven double" days, four of them on western fields. His records of two homers in one day for 1921 follows:
 June 13-Off Emke. Tigers at Detroit.

Frank McDonough. proprietor of the Casino bowling alleys on Church street and incidentally manager of Eddie Anderson, champion duckpin bowling champion, succeeded in ar ranging to have Ray Gaines of Hart ford roll off his two final matches with the New Britain bowler on Thursday and Friday of this week.
New Britain herald., 1926-06-09

Gaines wanted to postpone the two matches until next week and at the same time wanted to roll the last match in Hartford. but Ander- son refused to concede this. At first, he was willing to allow the games to be postponed but was adamant in his demand that the last match be rolled in this city.
New Britain herald., 1926-06-09

Gaines manager finally acceded to the New Britain mems requests with the result that Anderson and Gaines will roll in Hartford Thursday night and in this city on Friday night. Without any doubt, these two matches will be the cream of the state duckpin league and will draw the biggest house of the entire year.

For a time, Earl Johnson was the only man who seemed 10 be able to do anything at all for the team, but now new twirlcr who has shown up better than Johnson, has been added O the fold His name is Lynch and with these two the Hart ford team should win at least a few ball games. The team has been e. pcrimenting with first basemen all season. Hipps. d newcomer of last week is the third man to play the initial sack.
New Britain herald., 1926-06-09

It seems strange in looking over the Eastern league that Hartford isn't up further in the standing than at present. Six men on the team, the three outhelders, third and sec ond bascman and catcher are hitting well over 300 but the team is stiu near the cellar. The real reason ad- vanced by those who have been fol- lowing the team this season is that there is decided lack of pitching material.

TAKING THE SENTIMENT
OUT OF OUR HIGHWAYS

Highway
Recommendation of the joint
board of interstate highways at
Washington to eliminate the names
of u better known trails and Civ
ing them numbers instead; is meet
ing with organized opposition in all
sections of the country.
Men and women who have been
moved to give of their time and
funds because the inspiration such
names as Lincoln, Dixie, Harding,
Lee and Roosevelt have lent in
bringing these arteries to heir pre-
sent high state of perfection are
making known their objections
against this proposed descration in
no uncertain terms.
Leaving aside the commercial as
pect of the proposal. it is difficult
to envision those men who would
trade such a galaxy of names as
now designate our m~ain-traveled
highways for a number. The ex-
PLANTATION that they are of the en-
cheering profession and therefore
"a III Iltll utdllIS Hlln DUDE
lie questions, is not enough.
When the idea of dedicating GER
tain of eur Highways to persons and
places. whose names are written
deep in u history, first asserted
itself a decade or more ago thru
the small beginnings of a group
of public spirited men, it was but
with one aim in view; that of est
ablishing lasting and utilitarian
monuments for those to whom they
subsequently have been dedicated.
No community furnishes a finer
illustration of this fact thar Allan,
Ohio and her neighboring counties
in the instance of the Harding High
way. Whatever it's name might
have been before, hat particular
piece of highway extending from
Delphoe to Mansfield was named
for our late president for no other
reason than hat it should stand for
all time as one of the thousands
of units so designated in the plan
to p~erpetuate the name and mem
DRY of a beloved executive. Had
there been any other underlying
motive at the time the change in
name was made, the highway might
as well then have been given a num-
Der as now.
But If the sentiment of the oc1
casion is lost upon these engineers.
then certainly the business element
involved in the proposed change
cannot be without appeal, practical
men thai they are, We refer to
the great number of hotels restau-
rants, resorts and other business
organizations that have beer esta-
blished along all of the routes and
from them deriving their business
