added that "The time is soon COM

toward Socialism-England, Ger
many, France, even ITALY," he de-
clared. eff this country continues
towards it's goal of being the great

being driven into debt by our auto

At last, the much heralded baseball
classic between the Over the Top and

from the spirited contest staged at

The series is to be the most interest
ing of any season past. The Quine-
baug Valley Championship is at stake.
Both teams are out fighting 70 gain

thing. The rivalry existing between
the two teams is greater than at any
time, with the fact that both are rep
resented by "home town. line-ups
Last Sundays game played on the
Grosvenordale Co.'e athletic grounds
was a real picture Of rivalry and the
seven hundred fans that turned
out to witness were convinced that
both teams are in for battle before
the championship is decided. The
game was q thriller, disputes were
common and the teams well matched.
The edge is now with the Grosvenor-
dale bakers, due to four run rally
in the sixth inning Of last Sundays
game, that brought defeat TO the Put
nam combination. The final count was
ia,
The bakers scored in the first when
Captain Rayenelle hit a terrific drive

Of the park for home run. The blow
came after two men went out. The
game then settled 10 a pitching duel
between Slim cederre and ''izzya
Weiss until the eighth inning when
latter hit short fly to right which
Hi" Coderre was unable te field and
Weiss was safe on first. The next bat
ter to face "Slim" was Murphy and

burly outfelder at his mercy but the
