 The price of gasoline at local fill- ing stations was reduced from A to 22 cents yesterday as result of the campaign for price reduction which has been conducted somewhat suc- cessfully in nearby cities. The deal CTS in those cities lowered their H-ices, and the local gas retailers follSwed suit to maintain competi- tion and hold their trade. The slash ing Is not in the nature of 8 price war, and, with the exception of one dealer who has kept up to the 24- cent price, all are now selling at 8 uniform mark.
 The dealers are trying to obtain a corresponding reduction in the wholesale price and have hopes that they will be successful in this.
 Week-End Baseball
 The Plainvilles will meet the St. Margaret's team of Waterbury at the high school field here tomor- row afternoon at 3 o'clock. The St. Margarets have had a good season thus far and are expected to furnish stiff opposition for the locals. Hav- ing found their stride last week with a double victory, the All-Plainvilles expect to be on the winning end. A large crowd is expected.
 The Y. M. C. A. team has fits chance for revenge this afternoon when 1t takes on Broad Brook in the County "" league game here. Three weeks ago in Broad Brook, Plainville was shut out by 20 through an umpire's decision which was so manifestly at variance with the ground rules that Plainville pro- tested the game. Nothing has been heard from the protest as yet, but the local boys are aching to even things up in today's game, and if they have their way Broad Brook will go home on the short end of a very large and crushing score.
 The Blues will be. idle this week. end, the management and players having agreed to rest week be- cause of the excessive heat. Next week the Blues plan to play the Fal. cons of Southington, and on the 31st the series between the Blues and All -Plainvilles will open. Several other good games are being a"rang- ed by Manager Billy Tolli, and the team will have little rest from now on.
