LEAGUE CONTESTS
Four Games to Be Staged At
Willow Brook Park Tonight

II the meteorological hoodoo
which has been pursuing the Inter-
Church baseball league for the past
month can be shaken off the trail,
four games in the ecclesiastical loop
will be played at 6:45 o'clock this
evening at Willow Brook park. Three
of them are regularly scheduled en-
gagements and the fourth a playoff
Of a washed-out affair. Both OF the
prominent contenders will face hard
teams and good crowds are expected.
The First Lutherans now riding
ten crest of wave of victories which
has swept them into first place, have
the Stanley Memorial team as OPP
ponent this evening. The Swedes
have captured eight games In row
and appear to be headed for the
pennant, but the Stanley Memorial
outfit has had time to rebuild itself
and, il it can conquer unsteadiness
afield, should be able to slug its way
on almost even terms with the lead
ers. The game will be played on the

may not be at full strength, but they
will throw in plenty Of strength
from their large body Of reserves
and will be hardly weakened at all.
The South church will have its full
lineup on the field and hopes to ex-
tend its run of victories to five. This
being the postponed game, it will be

On Diamond No. 2 the First Bap-

with Keiffer missing, may spring an
upset.

Everyman's Bible class will meet
each other on Diamond No. /. The

the strongest teams in the league
and has been giving the two leaders
heart qualms in its recent games.
The Center church has been riddled
by illness and vacations, but much Of
its early-season strength will be back
in the lineup this evening.

board was unable to arrive at sat-

which team should have the field.
II the board decides to allow the
teams to alternate, there is strong
possibility that the All-New Britain

by over a quarter Of a million dollars.
More bosses and less workers seems to
be the railroad version of efficiency.
The average railroader's pay for
July was $136.S0 For the wage earn
ers hired on 7an hourly basis the av-
erage was S130.30 This compares
with $131.90, the average for hourly
paid workers in July 1926.
The commissions figures show that
the number Of freight carmen has
been reduced about 6 per cent com
pared with July, 1926, and their total
wages by 6 and one-half per cent. The
number Of machinists is down 3 per
cent and their wages 5 per eeat 7nl.o
number OF skilled trade helpers in the
shops has been reduced 5 per cent and
their wages also 8 per cent.
Of special interest are the figures
for the train and engine service occu-
pations. Reductions in the number of
workers employed in freight service
has reduced the amount distributed in

individual wage rates. The number of
freight conductors has been reduced
