Ernest Tetreault Victim of Un. known Marksman Who
 Shoots From Ambush
Two Trains Entering Jewett City
 Used as Target

Ernest Tetreault of New London, a locomotive fireman on the New London to Worcester branch of the N. Y. N. H. & H Railroad, was shot in the leg when an unknown assailant fired a rife from ambush as the train, south bound. was entering Jewett City near what Is known as "Tad- pole" pond. last Saturday night. As the train was proceeding between Bishops crossing and Jewett City the flash of a rife was seen from the west side of the train and the fireman felt the sting of the bullet entering his leg. When the train reached Norwich, Dr. J. J. Donahue. was called to dress the wound, after which the fireman was sent to his home New London.
 Puts up in Putnam
 Tetreault has been running on this branch of the road for more than fifteen years and is known to all rail read men. He puts up" in Putnam with the train crew and every morn ing goes to Southbridge and then takes the former Boat train". now a short freight train, to New Lon don. The train follows the Boat" freight. This train was fired upon as it was travelling south at about $50 o'clock Saturday night. The conduct or reported that he distinctly saw the flash made by the weapons dis charge. No one was hit.
 Shot Finds Mark
 The second train reached the same spot at about 9.15 and was also fired upon. Fireman Tetreault said he saw the flash from the gun and felt the sting of the bullet as it passed through the flesh of his leg. As the bullet could not be located the cali Der of the weapon could not be de- termined Both shots were fired from the same position on the west side of the track where there is a high way. A woman living near the scene of the shooting reported having heard shots in the direction of the railroad below the bridge.
 As soon as the affair was reported state policemen from the Danielson barracks secured the neighborhood but found no one in the darkness. Sunday the officers returned to make a further investigation and secured information on which they continued to work during the day.

game against us.
This year it has switched
again and Lefty has been tough
for us. There's no accounting
for things like that. They're
just part of baseball and you
have to take them as they
come.
It's things like that that make base
ball great game. The more l see
of the game and the players the
more I'm convinced that the breaks
decide the pennant. For instance
the chap who helped us most last
season was Henry Johnson the
pitcher. Henry had the Indian sign
on the Athletics and when the go
ing was tough Henry stepped in
and won six straight starts against
the Macks. Yet Henry couldn't
seem to pitch against the Browns
to save his soul. They'd beat him
regularly--but he had the AS toss
ing away their bats every time he
started.
The American League race ISM
over yet-not by long shot. The
Yankees are just beginning to make
their bid. For the first time since
the season opened we've got our
full strength in there, and I've got
a sneaking bunch that If we get
any breaks we'll catch the AS. But
there go again, talking about
breaks. No one can dope the
breaks-they happen and they're
either good or bad and you've got
to take them as they come. That's
baseball.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1929-08-12

there that he usually does kick one
or two around in every game.
George Pipgras used to have a
notion that he couldn't pitch in
Sportsman's Park in st. Louis, and
every time he had to start a ball
game there he was worried.
Fortunately George has won his
last two or three starts there and
he's getting over that one--but
there are other pitchers who have
just the same sort of completes on
other clubs. AL Thomas of the
White Sox, for instance, went three
seasons against the Yankees with.
out beating them in a single game.
And he pitched u lot of fine ball
too. But it always seemed that the
breaks went against him until it
got so, finally. he even hated to
start against us.
Fortunately for AL and un.
fortunately for us, he won his last
two starts against us after four
seasons OF trying-and now sup
pose the thing will swing around
the other way and he'll be tougher
than a pine knot. 1t always works
that way.
It's funny how things change all
at once. For two years Lefty
Grove had only to toss his glove on
the mound and the Yankees would
roll over and play dead. Then for
two years he couldn't seem to get
US out. We beat him more than
all the other clubs in the league
and he hardly ever even finished
