During the past five months there has been large increase in build ing activities Tn Plainville which tends to show that the town is en- toying a prosperous year and is steadily growing with the passing of each month. The town has been the scene of large building activities for the past 10 years but new marks have been reached so far this year and new houses are springing up in all sections of Plainville. This is all the more remarkable due to the fact that many other cities and towns are in the midst of industrial and build ing depressions.

Athletics Hike Edge
On Champs in Win
Over Indians 5 to 3
lRY Associated Press

Just when it began to seem as
if the alarmistS might possibly have
some grounds for their %apprehen-
sions, MI. Gordon S. Cochrane was
welcomed back into the Athletic
fold, fully recovered from a broken
rib. 1t may be that Mr.. Cochrane'S
presence behind the bat was not
the prime reason the McGillicuddy
arms were returned victorious, but
the fact remains that the Athletics
defeated the Indians, 5 to 3, in 10
innings at Cleveland yesterday as
Detroit trimmed the Yanks, Z to 4.
This perfect Sabbath for the lean
leader of the Athletics increased the
Mackian margin over the champions
to eight and one-half games. The
Macks are four games past the mid
way mark of the schedule and are
better placed than were the Yam
KEGS at a similar period Of the 1927
campaign, which witnessed ITO New
York victories.
Prayed by their vain efforts
against the Yankees and the Macks
Daniel Howley's troops batted a
three-hit game for Jack Russell at
St. Louis, and the Red Hose won
by 5 to 2.
The White Sox defeated the Sen
ators by z to / in the remaining
American league fixture.
Confined to their hotel by rain in
Boston yesterday. the Buccaneers
received word of another even break
by the Giants, who plunged to a
position 10 losing games to the rear
of the flying leaders. The Cubs
were in Philadelphia with no game
scheduled, so the Pittsburgh gain in
that direction was nothing at all.
The venerable Clarence Mitchell
all but turned in a victory in the
opening game at the Polo grounds,
which would have made John Nc
Graw's day a total loss. Carl Hub
bell treated himself to a siX-run
explosion in the fifth inning, Civ
ing the Cardinals a margin of three,
but the home team pounced upon
old Mr.. Mitchell for enough runs
in the home half to tie. Carl Mays
then entered the box, and held the
Cardinals safe until Bill Terry's 18th
inning single gave the clan Nc
Graw a 7-to-6 victory.
Bill Walker tottered in the eighth
round of the nightcap, enabling the
Cards to score three times to pull
out a 4-to-3 decision. Jess Haines
was the winning pitcher, although
he gave way to a substitute at bat
in the big st. Louis eighth.
Cincinnati stopped Brooklyn by
12-to-3 as Swanson and Walker hit

Sunday in a pair OF games but were

Against Fort Brown
All-Stars

The Brownsville Yankees got on
the short end of a fast 2 to 0 game
when they met the Central Power

Sunday. Moncus, twirling for the
powermen, kept the YankS well in
hand and let them down with two
hits, striking out nine.
Neither side was able to put over
a run till the seventh inning when
Taylor hit safely, was sacrificed by
Davis, stole third, and scored on
Cunningham's long fly into deep
center. Again in the eighth with
two down MoncuS lived on Stan
ley's error. He went to second On
the play. Garrison came through
with a well-placed double scoring
MJncus. The Yanks lost a chance
to tally when Nation walked, and
Young hit to center. Nation fell
rounding third and could not get
to the plate in time to beat the
throw. Lawrence made a nice peg
in. Sage for the YankS made a per.
feet peg to home to catch Wallace
when he tried to score on Moncus'
long fly in the sixth inning. Camp
