versity, and Maurice J. Mccarthy,
IT,, OF Georgetown, today find
~ themselves unusual rivals, yet
neither plays the others games.
Malevich is a foot ball and boxing
star. McCarthy's flare is for golf and
basket ball.
The rivalry involves leadership. Each
has been elected captain Of varsity
teams in his two fayorite sports.
Malevich will play fullback on the
foot ball team and box as a heavy
weight. Mccarthy is the national In
tercollegiate golf champion and crack
guard and forward in basket ball.
Jack halls from Eveleth, Mimi, and
Maurice from Flatbush, Long Island
Both have reasons to foresee success
for themselves and their teams.
Teddy Mitchell, crack boxing coach
at Catholic University, hopes to have
his mitt singers well up In collegiate
ranks next season. Only Jimmy Ma
guire, former Western High student,
will be missing from this years squad.
Besides Malevich, Mitchell will have
back: Frank Fullam, John De Pasquale,
Harry Di Giacomo, Rocco Blast, Ed
Campbell and Neal McGrath.
Catholic University was pioneer
among washington INSTITUTIONS IN D0X"
ing and under its direction the game
quickly found favor. The ring matches
at Catholic University and Georgetown
have attracted more students and
guests than any other sport excepting
foot ball.
Malevich will manage as well as cap
tain the Cardinal boxers and he expects
to arrange the longest schedule in the
games history at Brookland. Among
the teams Jack hopes to book are New
York University, Syracuse, ". M. l.,
Washington and Lee and Penn State.
The outlook for a base ball clash be-
tween Georgetown and Harvard on the
Hilltop today was dubious. The Grim
son, which swung into action this week,
lost to yesterday to the Quantico
Marines, who have fallen only before
the smart Holy Cross team.
Harvard is scheduled to meet Catholic
University at Brookland tomorrow.

cHESTNUTs GROWING
IN WEST WOODSTOCK

The possibility that chestnut
trees may sometime become a
common sight again Is suggested
BY the discovery Of a small tree in
West Woodstock which this year is
bearing chestnut burrs with chest
nuts inside them. This is the first
instance reported Of the discovery
Of any chestnuts growing since the
blight some years ago. Since that
time Young chestnut trees have
generally failed to live more than
a year. This tree in West Wood
stock. which has a dozen or more
burrs en- il. is now two or three
ears old, and Is growing QUE of the
stump of an old tree. Frank b.
Stanton, telephone lineman. who
makes frequent trips through the
Woodstocks, discovered and re-
ported the tree. The chance that
chestnut trees make Roadway
again is Ct particular interest TO
the telephone company, since be-
fore the blight destroyed it chest
nut wood was found to make the
most durable telephone poles.

Quantity of Whiskey And
Beer

racks a good sized quantity Of LIQUOR
Saturday evening. The proprietors Of
the places raided were scheduled for
court hearing before Justice p. p.
Tourtellotte Tuesday evening last. but
the trial was postponed until next
Monday evening.
A party of six of the officers first
visited the house of Victor Perreault
on the road from Brandy Hin TO
Webster At this place. which Mr..
Perreault runs at the "Green Lantern
Inn. the officers searched for quite
a time before finding two cases Of
alleged whiskey and several cases Of
beer. Much Of the liquor was secret
ed in various parts of the building,
a search in a cornfield adjacent to the
property was necessary before the
officers found the apparatus which is
believed to have been used for max
ing the beer. Seven persons at the Inn
were allowed to go, but Mr.. Perreault
was arrested on the charge of keep
ing liquor with intent to sell, and
since the police had previous evidence
Of sales there. the charge of actual
sale was added. His waitress. Elsie
Carter of Webster, was arrested also
and will be charged with sale of
liquor. They were released on bonds
Of 81, 1000 each.
The raiding squad later visited the
house of Otto Reich on the road from
East Thompson TO Wilsonville. Here
they found no difficulty at all in locat-
ing and Selling fifteen cases of alleg-
ed beer. In this case also there was
evidence of previous sale, and Reich
and his son Harry were both arrest
ed and viii be charged with sale, and

LACK OF PROGRESS
Commissioners Instructed to
Make All Possible Haste
on New Tank
September Meeting Takes Care of
Routine Business

Tuesday evenings meeting Of the
Putnam city council found Mayer
Richard and several Of the aldermen
inclined 10 protest at the apparent
slowness Of the progress in the pre-
liminary work connected with the
erection Of a new local
water tank X. K. Thurston. chair
man of the board OF water commits
reported to the council that he
has ascertained that the pipe required
for the changes In the system can be
secured at previous contract prices
and that digging will be done at the
same figure as previously. He had re-
ceived, however, no report from the
engineer whom the city is employing,
as TO whether maps of the site for the
new tank had been prepared. and
whether bids had been asked on the
erection of the tank The mayor urF-
ed Mr.. Thurston to get into imme-
diate touch with Engineer Symonds
in Boston. and urge all possible haste
in this preliminary work. The coun-
Gil passed motion authorizing the
water commissioners TO purchase the
land on Oak Hill which will be re-
quired for the new tank. The meet
ing was adjourned for one week only,
in the hope that by that time rapid
progress viii have been made.
Police Report
Police Captain W. J. Jarvis report
ed to the council that during the
month of August the department made
fourteen arrests, Of which five were
for drunkenness, three for violation
of the liquor law, two for assault, and
two for violations Of the motor laws.
One offender was Jailed. three cases
placed on file. while nine paid fines
and costs totalling SS90.5S.
A representative of a New York
company displayed a sample street
sign, and the aldermen discussed the
eity's needs in street markers and
the relative merits Of this sign COM
pared TO another exhibited here some
time ago. No action was taken, since
the aldermen did not feel that there
was at present money available for
signs, and they hesitated to start the
work of putting in new markers with
out doing a through job of it.
DISCUSS 0as Station
Building permits were granted to
Louis Muir for a house on Mechanics
street, Newton Medbury for a house
on Pomfret street, and Thomas Bell
for garage on King street. Last
months request of James B. Tatem
for permission to install gasoline
tank near the corner of Grove and
'Tatem streets. evoked a petition from
a number Of Grove street residents 10
the effect that no gasoline stations be
allowed on Grove street. Alderman
Mignault: chairman of the highway
committee, stated that as yet Mr.
Tatem appeared to have decided on
no definite location for the tank. The
approving or rejecting Mr.. Tatem's
last months request was left TO Mayor
Richards decision.
The extreme heat of the evening
made shirtsleeves in order for the
city fathers and the spectators, and
perhaps had its part in putting an oc-
casional burst of warmth into the dis
eussion Of some Of the business. AL

were absent.
