TWO ARE ARRESTED
 AFTER PIKE CRASH Autos Go Through Fences on
 Opposite Sides Of Highway
 BRICK co. WILL REOPEN
Manchester Realty Co. Buys Carbo
 Plant and Will Employ 50 Men Kensington A. c. Meeting Tonight
 -Motorcyclist Breaks Leg.

An accident involving two cars and causing the arrest of two men on liquor charges occurred last night cn the Berlin turnpike. State po- lice who were the first at the scene found that two cars had left the road and had gone through two diff ferent sections of fence on either side of the highway.
 From what they learned of the affair it appeared that both cars in volved were travelling north along the highway when the accident oc- cured. The driver of oue of the cars, who gave the name of James NJ. Neil and his address as George street, New Haven, was placed under arrest and charged with driving while under the influence of liquor. A companion with him at the time, Charles M. Smiley of Durham. North Carolina, was arrested on the charge of drunkenness.
 While both cars left the road completely there was no serious ln- iury sustained by any of the par ties involved.
 Both the men arrested will be tried in the Berlin town court.
 Some relief in the unemployment situation in Berlin and kensinston IS seen in the annoucement that the Manchester Realty Co.,, which pur- chased the property of the Carbo Brick Co. at a public auction, Sat ,Irday intends to start the manu- facture of shale brick some time next week.
 According to reports gang ot about 50 men will be put to work on this project as soon as preparations are completed.
 The pant has been closed since the end of the season last year.
 The purchase price is reported as being s2o,oo0. The realty company vas the holder of a second mortgase on the property.
 Baseball Meeting Tonight
 Something of importance in the way of baseball, may be expected after the meeting of the kensington A. C. members which has been call cd for tonight at o'clock in the Popular barber shop in Kensington. It is thought that this get-together will see the appointment of a man. ager for the comign year and some program developed for the conduct of the team during the season.
 It is understood that those most interested in the project this year will insist on the personnel of the team being purely local. The feel that this course would tend to liven the interest of local followers of the game and would also tend to cut down the expenses attached 10 the conduct of the game here. Asf an added reason for this idea. they claim that the development of local youths is retarded when opportuni- ties arc denied them to enter com- petitive play. r.
 All who are members of this as- sociation are requested to be pres ent at the meeting.

OUT OF
 TENNIS TOURNEY
Resents Protest Of UnlriendIy
 Gallery During Match

Rye. \. '. Aug. 15 CUP)-The eastern turf court plonships went into the semi final round today without the familiar figure Of Will liam T. Zig BilD Tilden, who re- tired from play yesterday in protest against the actions of an unfrlendly gallery.
 Irritated by booing and caustic comment from spectators at his match with young Clifford Sntter of New Orleans, the veteran stopped abruptly in the middle Of a service, walked 10 the net and said to his opponent:
 T think I've had enough of this gallery. I'll default, Cliff
 Regardless Of what will be said 3 bout Tildcn's action. the outstand- ing fact is that the gallery-at. least the heckling portion Of lt-revealed itself as an ill-nAnnered crowd. Since Monday it had ridden Tilden without q let-tp. laughing when he made errors and displaying sports manship Of the sorriest sort. Final ly, when he walked from the court yesterday. the crowds exhibition was such that it evoked q reprimand from one Of the officials.
 Many Of the unfavorable remarks coming from the stands during yes terday's match were made. no doubt. because Tnden did not appear 10 be trying. This may have been an il- lusion Tilden was playing with q had leg, the result Of a sprain which he suffered in q doubles match the day before
 Whether he should have gone into the game yesterday in this condition is. of course another question.
 Sensitive, no doubt. at his inability to cover the court as he once did and defeat opponents that earlier in his career would hare been nothing more than set-ups Tilden heard the gallery and was "stung by its atti- tude
 All Of which is strangely unlike tho Tilden Of five years ago. Then. possessed Of the finest game tennis has ever e-en. the gallery's taunts served only cs q spur 10 goad him on to quick decisive triumphs of breath taking rallies. Only in the last few years when. his game limp ing. he has had 10 fight for points, has the perennial champion argued and fused with judges and linemen. IL is this reputation for fuming and disputing decisions that has turned many tennis fans against him

Terre Haute Terror Picked by
 Expects to Win Monday

Hartford Aug. 5 - Bud Taylor will step into the ring at the Hurley Stadium next Monday night in unique role-that of the favorite over a champion and in the cham pion's home town.
 The 'Terre Haute Terror will be the favorite in the betting and will also be the pick of many who never wager on bouts but who always make their way to a battle-ground with a strong conviction that cer- tain battler is slated to win.
 There are several things inf1uenc- ing both those who like to stake little something on the outcome of a battle and those who make selec- tion just for their own satisfaction. In the first place there is the fact that Taylor has already beaten Bat talino and, in the process, adminis tered several body punishments to the champion. Then, Taylor whq

 Stanley Rule batting averages were considerably fattened last night when the team buckled two New Britain Machine pitchers for IT hits and IS runs in game that resulted in an IS to 1 win for the second place occupants. Four home runs were made during the contest and four doubles were rapped out.
 Only in the first inning didl the Newmatics give the Rulers any kind of opposition at all. In the second inning the team started with three runs. One more was added in the third, three came in in the fourth, seven were picked up in the fifth and four were added in the sixth. The contest was called by agreement at the end of the seventh inning.
 The Newmatics got their only run in the fourth on an error by Wen droski a walk to Haines and single between first and second by Yin Matis.
 Cobb started on the mound for the New Britain Machine./ He went through a barrage so thick that even a flea couldn't get through it. He retired in favor of Terrence with two out in the fifth inning and sev- en runs scored on him.
 Billy Darrow, Jack Argosy and Nick Gill each got three hits. The first two got a home run. Argosy over the center field fence and Dar- row in right field when Tommy Haines failed to cover the first bound on a single. Partyka and Casey also lifted the ball over the center field fence for homers. Micky Noonan and Partyka each got two hits.
 "Starhead" Budnick was the only Newmatic able to solve the slants of Casey, Rule pitcher. He had a perfect day at bat belting out four hits in as many trips. One of his bingles was a double to the center field barrier, He also played a nice game at third base. Darrow star4ed at short for the winners while Gill made two nice catches in center field.

League Standing

Fafnir Bearing took an early lead in the game with the Gascos in the Industrial League at Walnut Hill park last night and held ,onto it to win the contest by an 8 to 6 score. A home run by Joe Kania in the early frames really settled the issue. In the other game, a seven-lnnlng affair, the Stanley Rule & Level team smothered the New Britain Machine under an IS to I count.
 FafnirS S-GaScOs 6
 The Fafnir outfit piled up a heavy lead due to some hard and timely hitting but this was necessary as the Gascos kept picking up runs all along the line and were within two runs of tying when the final out was made. By this time klopp was checking the Bearing Makers while the Gasco team was commence ing to solve Fergusons offerings.
 Both teams kept hitting the ball all through the game but the win ners managed to place theirs in bet ter spots than the losers and af- forded their pitcher splendid sup port when the Gascos got men op bases.
 The big advantage piled up by the Dragons in the first few innings proved too much for the Gascos who did not get going we'll until the last half of the game.
 In the first frame each team scored twice, the Gascos on an er- ror Frank Sheehan's triple and klatkas' sacrifice fly, and the Dra- gons'on a pass and singles by Bu- cheri, Ferguson and kania.
 In the third the winners practic- ally tucked the game away when they sent four runs over the plate. | These were the result of a double Nby Bucheri, singles by krause and Haber and Kanias home run.
 An error. sacrifice hit and a single by Venture gave the Dragons another run in the fourth. Singles by krause and Kania, coupled with a base on balls meant one more run for the Fafnir crewI the following inning.
 This ended the scoring of the Uin- ners and was the signal fer the Gas cos to get going on the offensive. In the sixth two bases on balls and hit by Klatka gave the Gascos their third run. They added one more to their total in the seventh on a hit by Mccormick, his steal of second and a wild throw by Krause. It appeared as though the losers might tie the score in the ninth when Barnes and Dudack opened with a pair of singles. A base on balls and two force outs which fol- lowed, however, limited them to a pair of runs.
 Mike Bucheri and Joe kania led the hitters with three hits apiece in four trips to the plate. The for mer also turned in splendid game at shortstop, making several fine stops and throws at critical mo- ments.
