been suggested by DIR. George F.
Cook, local health officer, as pos
sible means OF Kidding the commun-
ity OF its hordes of mosquitoes. The
town Is surrounded by low marshes
which act as breeding places for
these insects which. besides being
nuisances, are disease carrie RS. Near
ly every remedy so far tried has
proved Intellectual, and the spraying
Of orchards from airplanes has sug-
gested to DR.. Cook that the case of
the swamps is analogous.
All-Plainyilles win
The All-Plainvilles won one of the
best baseball games ever played
here when they defeated the ST.
Margaret's nine of Waterbury by
81 at the high school field yester-
day afternoon. Despite the soggy
condition OF the field both teams
played fast baseball, and Louis Da-
toll engaged in a beautiful hurting
duel with Broderick. Datoli pitched
what the fans considered the best
game Of his career, allowing three
hits and one run and striking out
II batters. He had the edge on
Broderick, although the visiting
hurler also allowed but three safe
blows and whitfield seven.
Plainvlle made its three hits
count and took advantage of errors
to score In the fourth, fifth and sew
enth innings. Matteo's triple and
Goeb's two-bagger played reading
parts in these rallies. Datoli was
holding the st. Margarets helpless
all this time, a nice double play
from Darrow to Sataline helping
him, and it was not until the eighth
that the Waterbury team was able
to score a run with pinch hitters.
The box score:
