The men live on North Colony road and were walking on the gravel pathway. the younger man be- ing in front of the other, when the car, travelling north, struck John and then his brother and dragged both several feet.
 There was Q question as to juris- diction because of the proximity to the Berlin line with the result that the local police were not notified un- til late last night. An automobil registration number led to the arrest of Meyers.
 John Passig sustained a fracture of the wrist and bruises about the face and legs. His brothcr suffered fractures of two ribs. Their injuries vented them from appearing in court today.

The Guards won two out-of-town games, one from the Bristol Endees in Bristol and the other from the St. Joseph's T. A. B. team of Water lury
New Britain herald., 1927-02-17

The National Guards will play the Elmwood Endees in Elmwood to- night. The fans m this city are hoping that the team will come through to offset the argument being used in Bristol anent the state cham pionship. that the National Guards are solely a home-floor team.
New Britain herald., 1927-02-17

To date the Guards, not counting last nights game, have played 2S games. Of these, the local club has won IT and lost six.
New Britain herald., 1927-02-17

In the losses suffered out of-town the Guards have only five that will count against them in the state title reckoning. That is because of the game in Plainheld which was play d under professional rules. This cannot be counted against any team in the running for the state cham pionship because basketball in Con- necticut Is generally played under amateur rules.
New Britain herald., 1927-02-17

The five games lost out Of town were to the Bristol Endees, the Brooklyn A. C.. Middletown, the Atlas and Meriden Endees. Three of these games were just barely lost while one of them was bad beat ing and the other loss by 39 to 26 margin.
New Britain herald., 1927-02-17

This record will compare favor ably with any team in the state. As far as Bristol is concerned, New Britain has scored two victories over that team, one here and one there. By agreement between the two man. agers. a series Of five games will be played.
New Britain herald., 1927-02-17

Bristol beat New Britain 39 to 26. The Brooklyn A. c. beat New Brit ain 42 to 24. The Meriden Endees beat the Guards 19 to IT. Middle town beat New Britain 24 to 23. The Atlas beat New Britain 22 to 20.

Through the Static

Conditions up to 9 o'clock last

that time, they became well nigh I'M
hearable and we shut up shop amid
q shower of static and other noises.
The static became heavier and
heavier as the evening wore along
and when we took a hurried bark
just before turning in, we were sur
prised and astounded. Yea, more
than asfounded. Shocked. A contin-
uous hail Of large, unwialdy chunks
Of noises clattered and clomped
against the diaphragm, making it
act "as a thing possessed" Copy
right, the modern noveD.
Thornton Burgess was back at
WBZ last night. after having spent
several weeks in Canada-fishing.
His account of the trip was highly
interesting and he showed that he
had his eyes open for the beauties
of nature at every turn. The trip
was 1900 miles in length.
