It was day of battles in police court-over 8 COW, poker game, q bridge game and a dress.
 Carl Romas, 52, of 229 Citizens avenue was fined $10 and costs for the ungentlemanly action of beat ing up a COW, the property of a neighbor. Counsel for the warning factions declared that the feud has existed for 8 period of five years with one casualty-a COW, the late property of Romas.
 Judge John r. McGrath decided that 1t was time to call a truce when persons start being brutal with dumb animals. He imposed the fine on Romas.
 Pauline Cooper, 23, and Anna Silver, 35, both colored of Abbott avenue were each fined $5 without costs. They had a quarrel, ex- changed names and tore each others dress in fight on the street. Mrs Cooper declared that she was all dressed up to attend A. bridge game. The court inter- rupted the testimony to inquire 1T 1t was one of those games of bridge in which the players used dice.
 Sam Baker, alias Ali Sanilos, met one Arthur Hasiostas near the corner of Grand and Canal streets a few evenings ago and resumed a fight that had its beginning at a poker game the previous night. There was no question but what Baker slammed his friend Arthur in the mouth. The only doubtful feature was whether he used his fist or a bar of iron.
