WEST MAIN STREET PAVEMENT
 NOT PERFECT

NOT PERFECT
 After only 8 few months of wear the West Main street paving job, done on each side of the car tracks by the city late last year, is already showing signs of wear. One should hasten to add that the DOT ton paved by the Connecticut company between the tracks is in every respect satisfactory; 1t is of concrete and indicates the company has had a plenitude Of experience in putting down pavements that stand up under modern wear. The city's portion. between the car tracks and the curbs, however, is of a different material and gives the impression 1t will not last long with out the necessity of repairs. At some places the top dressing already appears worn through.
 Much comment is being heard re- garNng the appearance of this paving so soon after being put down. The wheels of the constant stream of automobiles using the pavement have already impressed sort of rut . few feet alongside the car tracks; some of the top dressing is already disappearing. The general impression seems to be that the top dressing has been defective or im- properly put down, not thick enough, or perhaps the foundation is sagging.
 If this pavement had been put down by a contractor there would have been howls about 1t before this. The fact that the city itself put down the pavement should not ward off criticism.
 It is entirely likely that the city can put down as good a pavement as any contractor; but If extreme care was not taken to put down the best and most serviceable sort of paving on West Main street a mia take evidently was made. No street in the city receives such heavy traf- fic. To meet the conditions only the finest kind of work would avail In this instance the concrete portion put down by the car company is in as excellent condition as when 1t was onstructed-except at one point alongside a city sewer intake | where the city tore up the pave- ment after it was down to tinker with tho intake-while the city's | portion of the pavement cannot be ! said to be giving evidence of long life.
 The chief complaint seems to be that some Of the top dressing on the | city's pavement seems to stick to the wheels of the passing chariots, | with the result that there are regu- | lar depressions along the route. How bad these will become after con- tinued use remains to be seen, but | it Is logical to assume that if the 1 pavement is how it happens to be | after a few months use it will be vastly worse after a years traffic | upon 1t.
 Perhaps the city will learn by ex- perience, improving its technic as repeated pavements are laid down. | Perhaps the West Main street pave ment Is not really as bad as it looks, | although that would be hard for the layman to believe. Anyhow, criti- cisms are being voiced and 1t per haps is useless to print the many Explanations" being heard. The gen. cral belief, which seems entirely justified, is that the city's paving should not give such signs so soon after the work has been finished.

 If the city has S160,00O to spend on a monument, why can't it keep the monument erected to the mem- ory of the Union veterans of the Civil War in good repair?
 The hinges are broken on the doors, the paddock is broken and gone and when the doors are open (which should be only on Memorial day) it is receptacle for rubbish. Nothing patriotic or inspiring in a thing kept like that.

RED SOX
 DEFEAT PEXTOS
New Britain Team Has Easy
 Time With Southington Club

The Corbin Red Sox baseball team handed the Southington Pextos an Il to ? beating yesterday afternoon at the Sand Hill Grounds fin South ington. The New Britain team was in fine fettle and hit hard through out the game.
 Walter Berg who achieved the goal of every baseball pitcher during the past week in Hartford by hurl- ing a no-hit. no-run game, occupied the mound again yesterday after noon and he held the hard hitting Pexto aggregation to five hits.
 The Southington crew couldn't de- liver the punch in the crises. Time after time runners would be on the sacks but only in the fourth and fifth inning could the team drive in a run. At all other times, Berg was ation.
 The Sox secured Is hits off Mich igan who was masquerading under the name of Ahern. Michigan was hit freely in almost every inning and although his fielders failed to give him tight support. they were worked hard in chasing the hard belts sent out into the lot.
 Huband and Huber were the belt ing beauties for the winners. while Snyder, Soule. Blanchard and Berg also slapped out two hits. The Southington team at no time seri ously threatened the lead piled up by the Red Sox. The score:

hit when F. Turner let the ball roll between his feet in center field and went to third on Arel's hit. The lat ter stole second and both men scored when Wendrowski threw wild to the plate in an attempt to catch Cormier after he had fielded Basil's ground CT. Basil took second on the play.
 Anderson then injected wild pitch, on which Basil went to third, from where he scored on Simons error on Smithwick's grounder.
 In the fourth the winners chased two more runs across the plate as the result Of poor judgement on the part of Anderson.
 Campbell opened the inning with a single. Cormier bunted and when Anderson threw late to second both runners were safe. Arel followed with another bunt and Anderson threw late to third, all runners be- ing safe.
 Successive singles by Plurin. F. Turner and Simon gave the Rangers run in the fifth, and in the sixth they counted one more on a hit by Wendrowski, his steals of second and third, and a hit by Anderson.
 In the sixth the winners scored one more when Smithwick singled. reached second on passed ball. ad- vanced to third on an infield hit, and counted on an error. A double by Cormier, triple by Arel, and an error accounted for two more scores for the West Ends in the seventh.
 The batting of Cormier and Arel. who accounted for seven of the win- ners 14 hits, featured the game.

HEAV|ES APPEAR
 IN BOUTS TONIGHT
Hard Hitters to Mingle in Ama- teur Tournament in Hartford

Hartford, Aug. 15-Bouts between big boys who are hard hitters- scraps that shape as "naturals"- will feature the card to be offered by the Massasoit A. c. tonight at the Hartford Velodrome as its weekly amateur boxing show.
 The bout that stand out as prom ising the highlight of the night is the return bout between Lucien Larivlere of Waterbury and Joe Bard of Hartford.
 Bard and Lariviere met here two weeks ago. Lariviere was out front when the disqualified himself in the first round by hitting Bard when the latter was on the floor. It was a gesture of over-anXiousness but the referee had no other alternative. Lucien predicts a win by a kayo Monday this time, but Bard. who is going at great clip now, believes he can dispose of the shifty, hard hitting Waterburian.
 Joe Howard will not be able to box Monday night because of a damaged finger and Jack Kelly of Waterbury, state middleweight champion, will take Joe's place against Eddie Provost of Holyoke. Provost holds a decision over Lucien Iariviere and he also defeated Eddie O'Neil of Boston in a bout here.
 The card has two welterweight bouts of promise,
 In one. "Pinkey" Kaufman of this city, state champion, will meet Rollo Roland Of aWterbury, who Thursday defeated Vic Morley of aWterbury, and in the other Paul Teroa of Hart ford will take on Harry Seeche of Lawrence, Mass. Another bout in welter division will find Leo Lariviere of the Brass City mixing with Morley.
 Mickey Roberts, Hartfords az gressive bantamweight, will have his hands full in taking on the shifty Bobby Morrison of Waterbury. Nor rison beat Bickey two weeks ago and Mickey is gunning for revenge.
 Other bouts that shape as attrac- tive ones are:
