Local Football Eleven Defeats Bell
City Aggregation by rs

= No doubt was left in the minds
of anyone yesterday afternoon as
to the completeness of the revenge
of the New Britain Blues football
team over the West Ends OF Bris-
toll when the local aggregation
smeared the Bell Towners to the
tune of rs to 0. Over a period Of
six years. this leaves the count be-
tween the two teams, three wins for
New Britain, two defeats and one tie
game. The locals completely out
classed their opponents in every de-
partment Of play.
The Blues received the ball on the
kickoff and started = steady march
down the field stopping only after
Casparini scored a touchdown on q
six yard plunge through center.
From then on, it was only a matter
of how much the locals would score
before the game ended. The Blues
line opened big holes through the
West End defense and the backfeld
executed a series Of trick plays that
baffled the tacklers on the other
side.
The large crowd which witnessed
the game was treated to spectacular
broken field running especially by
AL Fengler. who. by the side OF ef-
ficient interference, scored three
touchdowns.

Recovered Tumble and 30 Yard
Dash by "Red" Mccormick Gives

A spirited dash of 80 yards after

football team OF this city a victory
over the South Ends of Middlctown
yesterday by the score of & to o..
Both teams put up a classy exhibit
ton of the gridiron sport. The
Pawnecs made three first downs to
one for Middletown.
The score came in the second
quarter on the first play. The weak
ness in the line OF the locals was
lacking yesterday. The Middletown
team. consisting almost entirely Of
All-Middletown players and men
from the Pioneers of Hartford, was
unable to gain appreciably through
the locals defense.
l;aldesart on the defense and
Miske on the offense proved to be
the mainstay of the locals. One of
the peculiar incidents of the game
happened when a kick by Ostertag
was blocked and then recovered by
the kicker and carried % yards for

"SLEEp.W WALKING" DEFENSE
 PROBABLY IS EFFECTIVE 
Detroit Slayer Is Likely to Receive Suspended Sentence as
 Slayer.

Detroit. Sept. 27.-lR>-Chester Kutzlub', "sleepwalking" defense to the charge he slew his wife had presented him with a fair chance of suspended sentence today.
 A jury last night returned a ver- dict finding kutzlub guilty of man. slaughter. but recommending mercy. Judge Alfred Murphy turned the case over to the probation depart ment for a character report on the 4s year old defendant. Under the law the court may suspend sentence or fix a penalty of from to Is years Imprisonment.
 Kutzlub's defense was that he shot his wife while walking in his sleep. and that not until the report of the pistol awoke him did he realize what he had done. It was testified that the Kutzlub family appeared to have been happy together.
 Only one expert witness was call ed. Dr. Isaach Polozker. a psychiatrist. The witness said 1t was possible for a somnambulist to shoot another person while in . semi conscious state and that commission of violent physical acts while in such state was not uncommon in suf- ferers from the disease.
 The act" the psychiatrist said. "need be dictated neither by the conscious nor subconscious mind. but may be carried out by the body while the mind is at rest"

 Last minute efforts are being made to prevent the separation of the boy from his parents who will be unable to accompany him. Mrs. Stainton was advised to send Robert to England SO he may return later under the quota by posting bond he will not become public charge.

Former Heavyweight Champion and Fiancee Reported Having Chosen
 Sorrento as Place for Marriage
HOLD UP TWO ON CATHODE ROAD Three Point Guns at Vic. tins, Taking Watches
 and Cash

Catholc road in kensington was the scene of two more hoId-ups last evening when three young bandits. using a stolen automobile. held up and robbed two men. This makes the sixth time in the last two months that hold-up men have visit ed the kensington road. The gun- men used a car which they had stolen earlier in the evening from Grove street. Meriden. where the owner. Thure Pierson of Bee street. had parked it.
 Henry Johnson of o1s East Main street. Meriden. who was alone in his car. was the first victim Of the gunmen. who relieved him of gold watch and chain valued at $50 and a billfold containing $2 and his op- erator's license.
 George Fl. Hamlin of l9 Rockwell avenue. this city. was held up short iy after the men had robbed Johnson of his valuables. The New Britain man was parked with girl companion on the road when the bandits drove up alongside and pointed revolvers at him. They robbed him of his watch and sS.35, avoiding his girl companion. Ham, lin immediately reported the holdup to the New Britain police who went to the vicinity of the robbery to look for the men. No trace of them or the car was found.
 Both victims told police that the bandits were riding in a roadster. the markers reading 1o1-1oS. The car was reported stolen at the Mer- iden police station by the owner shortly after 9 o'clock. Johnson told the Meriden police that he was sit ting in his car on the Cathole roa q which he had parked about d quar- ter of a mile from the kcnsington Congregational church. The bandits drove up to his car. all three getting out of the machine and giving him orders to do the same. Each one pointed q revolver at him and order ed him to raise his hands, Johnson told the police. After he had com- piled with the command. one of the party went through his pockets. talk ing his valuables.
 Johnson described two of the men as short and stout and the third as very tall and thin. Besides carrying revoIvers. each of them had flash light. He told the police that they appeared to be about 20 years old.
 After receiving the report Ser geant Ekdahl and Officers Slater and Cole of the Meriden police. ac- companied by Constable Frank Brown of Berlin and Johnson. went out in search of the highway men in the police automobile.
 The New Britain and Meriden police notified the police in other cities of the holdup and gave d description of the car and it's occu- pants. Earlier in the evening the Meriden police had notified the oth- CT departments of the theft of the automobile. Up 10 this afternoon no trace of the car or it's occupants had been discovered.
 The belief in Berlin is that all Of the holdups in the last two months have been committed by the same men. Farmers in the section Of Cathode road expressed surprise when told of the holdups this morn ing. stating that they are in the habit of travelling over the road at all hours of the night and have nev- CT been molested.
