Pastor and Wife Guests of Young People-Legion Plays Tonight Retires After Ten Years of Sery- ice-Wateryille Team Coming.

The Trumbull Electric baseball team hit the offerings of Bill Cum ningham and Floyd Kalish with fre- quency and violence. the Business mems defense curled up and with cred, and the Industrial league lead CTS drew away by winning an iii victory last evening at the High school field. Friday Miller limited the losers to three singles and the outcome was never in doubt after the Temcos started their scoring in the second inning.
 In that frame Babich and Derazio hit safely, Miller was safe on an error, and before the merry go-round | had ceased the count was 80. Arnold started the next inning with a hit and Foran and Babich followed suit. Foran was out on Derby's grounder, but Derazio and Miller walloped two-bag aggers in succession to add four runs to the Temcos' to- tai. The Disbursements one run came in this session. w. Cunning ham hit safely with two away. Smith | was permitted to run for him, and he worked his way around for q score.
 The winners added three more runs in the sixth on a walk to Cas- 1 sldy. m error on Foran's bid. The hitting of Babich by a passed ball and Millers third hit of the evening Errors gave them another in the final inning.
 In addition to pitching such sterling ball, Miller led his teams attack with double and two singles. Derazio threatened to main. tam his perfect batting average when he hit safely on his first two trips to the plate, but on his third appearance he was put out for the first tome this season Babich and , Foran also hit hard. Bill Cunning. I ham, with two out of two, made two-thirds of his teams bingles. The losers made seven bingles. The losers made seven errors, Billy Tolli having an off night and foozlins four chances.

Immediate steps will be taken to relocate the crossing gates and the gate house at the Central street railroad crossing. according to ad- vice received Tuesday afternoon by Mayor W. Raymond Crumb from Superintendent Rondel O'Hanley of the Waterbury division of the New Haven railroad company. The side walk is also to be straightened out by maintenance of way employees of the road in conjunction with the other work.
 Following an accident at the crossing on the night of February l2th last, when Mrs. Charles Pistey and young son of Bridgeport, were instantly killed when the sedan in which they were riding was struck by a westbound freight extra, this crossing, which is located in the center of Forestville. has been the subject of considerable discussion on the part of city officials. A short time after the fatalities, o4 hour pro- lection was furnished at the cross ing. Prior to that time gatemen were on duty only between the hours of 6 a. m. and 9 p. I'll.
 In looking over the scene several weeks ago, it was brought to the at tention of city officials that both the crossing house and the gate post on the east side of the street were in the highway, the gate post being To- cated almost in the center of the sidewalk. Immediately a request to have them relocated was submitted to railroad authorities and the letter from Mir OHanley yesterday was the outcome.
 Stolen Cow Recovered
 A piece of rope, a COW and three boys. Therein lies tale which, if written in its entirety. might take its place in the literary world with Grimm's Fairy Tales or be equally suitable as q bedtime story.
 The three boys, whose names of course must remain mystery. ap- peared before Prosecuting Attorney James T. Mather this morning and told him story of piece of rope which they found in the roa dway on Burlington avenue. Thinking of the many different things for which the rope might be used they picked it up and took it home. Much to their surprise. however, they later ascer- tained that at the other end of the rope was a COW. How it got there they couldn't explain although its presence could not be denied. About this time, the owner of "bossy" in inventorying his livestock, found the animal missing and reported his loss to the police. The apprehension of the youths resulted.
