ner Of the Industrial league. The
Temcos are at present in the lead.
but the Spring Casters, in third posi-
ton, are only one game behind and
can reach the lead by a victory this
evening. In this event, they would
be tied with the Businessmen and
the Circle 7 team would be third.
Last week these two teams strug-
gled until darkness ended a pitchers
duel between Dudac and Freddy
Miller with the score at 80. The
rival hurlers will resume their bat
tie tonight, and both teams are on
edge for the game. Feeling between
the mines is at a high pitch. and
both are out to conquer and sub
due their opponents withiut mercy.
A large crowd is expected to see the
game, which will begin at $50
o'clock.

Treiber Holds Position
G. A. Treiber's pen OF white rock
pullets is still second in its class as
the 10th week of the Storrs egg
laying contest closes, and with only
II weeks left it seems certain that
the local man will be among the
prize winners. His pen laid 80 eggs
during the past week and brought
its total to 1907. The average is
1887, so that Mr.. Treiber's hens are
well above this.

An unknown man failed miserably
in an attempt to steal a car off the
property Of David Pereau on b.

ins lucky to escape with whole
skull. The housekeeper was the only
person at home when the try was
made. She saw man go past the
window toward the garage and no.
ticed another fellow out in front, ap-
parently on guard. She asked what
the mans business was and he show
ed her a badge, saying he had come
for the car.
The housekeeper thought other
wise and an argument ensued.
Finally she seized tire iron and
struck the man across the forehead,
intlicting severe laceration. He
ran out and the two men disap-
peared with a threat that they would
be back. They have not returned
yet.
