Giants Tie with ouinebaue

Last Friday night at North Gros- venordale the Quinebaug A. C. team were held down to a 3-3 tie by the To- cal Giants. lt was a very interesting game from the start, as 1t was the rubber game of a series which was started early in the season. Magnan, pitching for Quinebaug, was real puzzle to the Giants, with his fast breaking curves, and held the locals scoreless until the last two innings.
 Trailing by score the locals went in the last inning and filled the bases. and after two men were out and run scored by Johnson. who stole home, the game was called on account of darkness.
 The next game will be played later, a date being fixed by the two man agers.

'Eonstantinople. Jan. oS.-(R-
Turkish authorities believe that an
explosion of bootlegging distillery
was responsible for a disastrous fire
which yesterday swept one OF the

The total number OF shops and
dwellings destroyed was estimated at
500 with the monetary loss at ST.
100000 of which only $4,000 was
covered by insurance. The Turkish
Red Crescent society. the former en-
bassies and private individuals to-
day were organizing relief measures
for nearly 5000 refugees from the
district, most of them Greeks.
Fifteen Greeks in whose house the
ire started, were arrested as well as

ouseholders threw from their burn

The spread OF the fire was attri-
buted TO the failure OF the water

being the custom Of the company to
turn the water off every night.

A further curious thing the figures
show is that this could be done, and

q plurality of about 6.5o0,O0o votes.
When Governor Smith recently
spoke on a nationwide radio hook

statement that the importance Of the
party in American political life was
attested by the fact that change of

to the democrats instead Of the re-

As result of this striking state
