BlamS Star Outfidder for
Spread Of News

Pittsburgh. Aug. II (P-Reactions
OF Pittsburgh baseball fans to the
filming and benching of Hazen Cuyler
star outtielder brought the state
ment from President Barney Drey-
russ today that the disciplining OF
the Pirates gardener never would
have reached the public if Cuyler
had not told it"
Cuyler was fined $50 for listless
base running in the first game Of the
New York series. The next day he
was replaced in the lineup by Barn
hart. Speculation among sport writ
ers as to whether the double action
might be the forerunner Of trade
next season involving Cuyler was
termed newspaper talk" by Pirate
officials. 1t was also emphasized that
any impression that the Pittsburgh
club Is making an example Of the
outfielder or is trying to force an is
sue that will lead to his being trad
ed is incorrect.
'Cuyler was merely fined for a
poor play. not so much as punish
ment to him individually but as a
warning to all the players on the
club that they must play heads up
baseball at all times" President
Dreyfuss said. ut was intended for
the future good OF the whole team as
we'll as for the good Of the individual

Other News Notes Of Interest.
ABELrJANICKI WEDDIN G

With the gradual approach Of the
political season to this town. inter-
est In the present situation is grow
Ing daily. Rumors concerning the
possible choices OF this years bal
loting are widespread and it is gen.
orally believed that 1927 will give
Berlinites a real old fashioned poll
teal season. following several years
Of apparent lassitude in behalf of
the voting public.
The largest point OF speculation In
this years calculations lies in the
Office of first selectman. at present
served in office for eight terms.
Whether or not he will gain the
support of the republican caucus for
nomination and therefore a prac
tically assured election, Is not known
but it is generally believed that
hot fight will take place In the
preliminary proceedings for the Of
flee of leading official. When APP
preached on the subject of whether
or not he would seek reelection
some time ago, Carter stated. that
he had not given the matter any
thought, being too busy with the
present day duties to consider the
question. Popular opinion seems to
favor his entering the ring for nom-
ination on the republican ticket.
Several other possibilities of can
didates for nomination for the office
have been mentioned. although no
definite endorsement Of the fumors
has vet been made. 1t is commonly
reported that kensington candl-
date will throw his hat in the ring
with the coming of the voting sea-
son, supported by one of the strong
est organizations of that balliwlck.
Such a candidate would undoubted-
" prove a strong factor in any race
for nomination.
The democratic party leaders have
expressed themselves as hopeful of
a strong leaning towards their nomi-
nees. especially in the direction of
tax collector. Last years surprising
results when Charles F. Lewis, pres
ent collector, was trailed closely by
the substitute democratic candidate.
John P. Lewis of East Berlin, Win
ming the position by only five votes
in his own district, Kensington, has
based strong campaign for a Ken
sington nominee for that position in
case Lewis is renominated by the
republican party.
Abel-Janicki Wedding
Rudolph Abel one of East Ber-
Inns most prominent young men, and
owner of a garage on Worthington
Ridge, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Rudolph
Abel of East Berlin, and Miss Mary
Janicki, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Janicki of Burritt street,
New Britain, were married quietly
at Torrington. Connecticut, on Tues
day. August ., according to an an
nouncement made today.
Announcement of the wedding
came as a surprise to local resi-
dents, no notice. of the coming event
being given out by either of the
principals. No local people were
present at the marriage, the bride
and bridegroom being without at
tendants,
