Ono Of the most exciting finishes
seen In an Industrial league baseball
game this season, was staged last
night by the New Britain Machine
Co. team In its 10 inning. 8 to VIC
tory over the Russell & Erwin team.
The teams were deadlocked at the
end of the ninth and with the Russ
wins held scoreless In the first Of
the tenth, Eric Anderson connected
with one Of AL Blanchard's slants
and sent 1t out for home run. win
ming the game. The triple tie for
first place in the league was broken
when the P. g. F. Corbin team was
awarded q forfeit over the Stanley
Rule by Umpire Bill Clancy. The
Stanley Rule didn't have full team
on the field.
Newmatics Win Tilt
The contest between the Newma-
tics and the Russwins was one OF
the best staged in the league this
year. Erny Anderson and Al Blanch-
ard hooked up In . pitchers battle
and the teams played nip and tuck
all the way through. Two homers
featured the contest. Eric Anderson's
winning clout coming In the tenth
while Krause hit another off Blanch-
ard In the seventh with one man on.
The Russwins, however. outhit the
winners getting 10 safe hits off An
derson. These were kept pretty we'll
scattered. however, and in the
pinches Andy was especially effec-
tive. He famed 10 batters.
Blanchard showed pretty change
Of pace that fooled Machine bat
tiers time after time. He mixed this
with fast one over the outside cor
ner. Anderson used neat curve
that cut the edges and the Russwin
batters were caught on the hook as
often as the Machiners broke their
backs on q slow one.
From the start to the finish, the
game belonged to either team. The
lead seesawed back and forth, each
team getting ahead only to fall be-
hind again. The Newmatics opened
up in the first. Smith walked and
Eric Anderson singled. Schneider
let the ball get away from him and
before it was releyed in, both men
had scored.
The Newmatics held this lead un-
til the fifth when the Russwins stag
ed a big rally. The bases became
filled and AL Blanchard raped out
a single to center. Followed by an
error. this let in three runs. Luke
and Cosgrove singled and Suess
walked and the hit followed. The
Newmatics tied it in the fifth when
Ference tripled and scored on Erny
Anderson's single to right.
The Russwins again rallied In the
seventh to score two but the New
matics came back to again knot the
count. The contest went along until
the tenth when the Russwins scored,
breaking the tie. Schneider doubled,
took third on an error and scored on
Morelli's sacrifice fly.
In the Machiners' turn at bat,
Krause was safe at first on an err
ror. Smith famed but was safe
when Hennessey dropped the third
strike and threw wildly to first. The
first ball pitched to Eric Anderson
was blasted out into center field be-
tween the trees for homer.
Hennessey. Luke and Blanchard
carried off the hitting honors for
the Russwins while Eric Anderson,
Ference and Erny Anderson hit hard
for the Newmatics. The summary:

entrance nallS ana inner courts as did the houses of Pom- peii, but were suites of rooms in three and four story apartment houses, each floor reached by separate entrance and lighted by numerous windows facing the street and looking out on courts or gar dens in the rear.
 The similarity of these structures to the best of present-day apartment houses has amazed antiquarians and ar chitects, who are keenly interested in the forthcoming unearthing and rebuild ing of this most famous seaport of the ancient Latin world.
 Some excavation has been done in Ostla in the centuries that have rolled by since the crash of the Roman Empire and important buildings, besides the wharves, warehouses and flats, have been brought to light. Chief among these are fine theater, barracks for the city's police and firemen, graceful temples to Ceres and other Roman deities, and lux urious baths
 In addition to these, archaeologists have uncovered q forum, a capitolium dedicated to Jupiter, Juno and Minerva and a bazaar built around courtyard paved with blocks of lava.
 Only about one-quarter of the city has been eXcavated, so it is certain that Ostia will contribute priceless evidence of the ancient beauty that Italy now plans to unearth and reconstruct
 Cumae, an ancient city on the coast of Campania, is another port included in the list of places that Italy plans to dig out of the dust and rebuild after the manner of the old Romans
 Although not so well known as Pom pei and Herculaneum, Cumae was once so rich and powerful that it built several other seaports, which it controlled, and carried on an extensive trade with the interior.
 Toward the close of the days of the Republic it became the municipal capital of the district in which the Roman nobles had their seacoast villas and con- tinued to exist as "a quiet place" down to the last days of the empire.
 Magnificent examples of both Greek and Roman art have been found here, particularly in the part of the town known as the Acropolis. It is beneath the Acropolis that the mysterious sub-

stone. and because two villages-Portici and Resina-have been built directly over the ruins, the work of excavation has been much slower and much more expensive than the comparatively easy unearthing of Pompeii.
 The chief structures uncovered to date are the amphtheater, part of the forum with its adjacent public buildings, two small temples, some private houses and the villa of wealthy resident.
 A great deal of attention is to be given Herculaneum in the program now under way, because it was, probably, the most luxurious pleasure resort of the rich Romans of the day. Little did its builders dream that it's location close by Mount Vesuvius on the beautiful Bay of Naples would spell its doom
 Because of the danger of undermin- ing the villages now built directly above the buried ruins, it is likely that much of the Herculaneum, as yet uneartbed, III pS iAodsSu III q SiSdt SuDltII dHtdll cavern.
 Ostia, once the port of Rome and the base for the nations great fleet of naval vessels, was for long deserted by man and sea alike, for the sediment that has been brought down the Tiber in many centuries has pushed the shoreline of the f,,r
 The ruins of Ostia are no less interest ing than those at Pompei and Hercula- neum, although they are very different in character. The port of Rome was no place to while away the lazy summer days, but bustling scene of activity Its architecture reflected this atmos- phere of efficiency.
 Its main street was continuation of the road to Rome and many of its build ings were docks and warehouses where came the necessities and the luyuries for the citizens of the capital of the ancient world.
 The ruins here are of extraordinary importance, because they show that the citizens of Ostia lived in apartment houses very like those found in the larg- est and most progressive cities of the modern world
 The shipping merchants, who grew wealthy in handling the great array of material that came to Rome over the seas, lived in flats of mellow red brick.

 portion of Pompeii yet to be uncovered no one can say. but it is the opinion of students of antiquity that new revela- tions of long-lost beauty are at hand, and that these will be forever preserved by Italy's plan for digging out and re- storing its historic cities.
 Herculaneum, close by Pompeii, shared the fate that burst forth so suddenly from the then green cone of Vesuvius. But instead of being buried beneath great fall of stiffling ashes. this com munity stiffened in death beneath a sea of mud that, in time, hardened to stone. For torrential rain added to the horror here and made of the ashes a plastic flood that swept through the streets and over the housetops.
 Unlike Pompeii, the location of Her. culaneum was never lost, and in l719. Count Elbenf of Austria sunk shaft to the city's famous amphitheater. Sub sequent diggings have brought forth relics much more valuable than anything found in Pompeii, although only small part of the city has been excavated.
 Because Herculaneum is locked in the grip of volcanic mud that is as hard as

terranean caverns, or grottos, were dis covered, among them the famous grotto of the historic Cumaean SibyL.
 This mythical being was one of the women famous in Greek and Roman legend for their prophetic power guu- posed to have been given them by Apollo. The cavern in which she is sup- posed to have lived and dealt out wisdom has many sealed doors that have never been cut into. One of the first moves in the work of restoring Cumae will be to explore the underground vaults to which these doors give entrance.
 It has long been the dream of ar- chaeologists to see the many ruins on the island of Capri carefully uncovered and investigated, for here on this rugged gem set down in the Bay of Naples, the Emperor Tiberius is supposed to have had no less than twelve luxurious villa. where he and his favorite courtiers came from Rome to indulge in orgies of wine. woman and song.
 The most magnificent of these palaces seems to have been the Villa Joyis. named for the great god love. The crumbled and overgrown pile of marble which marks the spot where this kinelv dwelling once stood indicates that it vas luxurious structure comparable with the finest palaces in Rome and Tiyoli It was built precariously on the very crest of precipice that shot straight up from the sea. Beside it is the ruin of a great lighthouse, said to be one of the largest in antiquity.
 A huge equestrian statue of the vain and sensual Tiberus is supposed to he buried in the ruins. If the words of old Roman historians are true, this statue is of gold, and the Emperor's eyes are huge diamonds.
 Another of the magnificent villas on Capri, the so-called Palace by the Sea. was supposed to have been the fayorite home of Tiberius, or perhaps Aupu,tu. during the colder months of the year,
 Still other bleached and vine-coyered heaps of ruins mark the location of lesser villas, where Tiberius probably in- stalled his patrician friends, and ring of crumbled walls above a spot known as the Blue Grotto" is thought to be the remains of palace where royalty was pleased to bathe in magnificent seclusion.
 Of course. it took years and years to build these palaces, as it did the struc. lures in Pompeii, Herculaneum, Ostia and Cumae, and the program that the Italian government has laid out to fuy. ther enhance the charm of Italy is m ambitious and expensive undertaking.

 The ruins of Pompeii, already world famous, are remarkable and invaluable because they are, as one writer has said, "a whole town filed away for refer ence" No clearer record of the man ner of life of the ancient Romans has ever been found, for the inhabitants who could not escape from the deadly down. pour of ashes shot from the crater of Vesuvius in 79 A.

 In one dwelling the remains of six teen people were found hudded ill the cellar, the master of the house still holding the doorkey in his bony hand. Pans of food being cooked when the great catastrophe came were found over the ashes of fire that seemed hardly cold, although Pompeii was sent to ob- livion more than eighteen centuries ago.
