 Brick Industry Slow
 Reports from brick concerns state that the present month has been one of the slowest in the history of the companies. Most of the local yards are running on part time. An over supply of brick and a lack of build ing activities is the cause of the deilation. Better conditions are look ed forward to with the arrival of fall building.
 Team Disbanded
 The Berlin Junior baseball team has disbanded for the season accord ing to reports received today from members of the aggregation. The team recently lost the services of its coach and it was voted to discon- tinue play. The team was formed this year and has yet to win it's first victory, having been defeated regu- larly since its appearance in local baseball circles.
 The withdrawal of the Worthing- ton ridge squad from the Legion league circles narrows the competi- ton down to two teams, the East Berlin Boys club squad and the Kensington Boys club team. It is not known as yet whether Legion ofii- cials will continue the league with the two remaining teams or not but popular opinion points to the future disbanding of the entire league. Team managers state that Legion officials have shown a curious lack of interest in the league. not at tending scheduled meetings and gen. erally baking any attempts for activity Tn the league. It is not known just what will become of the cup which was to be awarded to the winner of the contest.
 Local baseball fans are reported as being disgusted with the progress of amateur ball in this town. At tempts to revive interest in league games have gone for naught, they claim, and failure has met every gesture towards establishing local league. They point to Plainville which, with it's industrial league, is attracting large crowds each week. Semi-pro ball, Berlinites claim, seems to be the only crowd gatherer in the town.
