TWO LEADING
TEAMSFACE.
FRIDAY
BY GINO SINH

Speaking of mad ScrambleS for
duckpin pennantS, keep an eye on
the torrid scuffling which fea-
lures the Building Contractors
League.
Friday night the two leading
teams tangle and plenty of fur,
plaster, marble or whatever build
ing material the two leading
teams, Standard Art and D. c.
Butcher, use in their work is sure
to litter the Arcadia drives.
D. C. Butcher is leading the
second half by one game, and
Standard Art, the first half win
ner, is anxious to save itself the
trouble, expense and uncertainty
of a roll-off for the title and a
win tonight will be great step
in that direction.
Honey Big Gun
George Honey with his 119
average is the Big Bertha of the
Butchers, with Lefty Rhodes and
Frank Miller, classy pin-pounders,
as teammates.
Standard Art has practically
the same all-Italian lineup which
caused so much furore in this
fast stepping loop the last two
years, Joe and Louie FreSchi,
Johnny Micro, Marco Garilli and
Louie Del Vecchio. The first three
average Ill each and the team as
a whole sport pace of 546, 6
whole sport a pace of SAG, 6
pins higher than Butcher.
1t will be a wild and Woolly
combat if past performances
mean anything. The hard-fight-
ing Italian crew won the first
half pennant in as thrilling a
finish as has ever been recorded
in duckpin annals.
Wins Six Games
Going into the final night Of
the first half in sixth place,
seven games behind the leaders,
with a double-header on hand
against foes to whom they had
to give a heavy handicap, the
Fascists rose in their might and
white-washed their two opponents
as the leading Minte Paint drop
ped one game. Though tied in
wins and losses. Standard
gained the title on total pins.
This was in direct contrast with
their showing last season when
after jumping to a 10-game lead
in the first part of the campaign
the Mussolinian crew faltered and
fell and Fuller Stone Plant fl
nally nosed them out of the pen
nant.
The current pennant battle is
plenty wide open with only three
games separating the first five
teams. Fuller Stone, No. l, last
year winner, is in a triple tie for
third, and with such crack pin
peppers as Emmett Harney, Her
man MatSon and Charley Faunce
still visions a pennant. The roll
ing of Whitley RAIDER makes Todd
Construction tough to get along
with, even though it is dead
locked for sixth place.

BARBER SHOP ROBBED; THIRD IN WEEK
MILK QUESTION IN
 NEW ENGLAND
Council Goes on Record in Favor of Higher Price
 to the Farmer
URGE AN INCREASE

Boston, March 23--The New England Council tonight made public statement by the New England Bankers committee in which that group declares that in it's opinion an economic crisis makes essential an increase in the price of milk to the New England producer, in order that the farm- CT and "all those dependent upon the farmers ability to pay" shall rot be further endangered.
 The statement follows:
 "The New England Bankers Committee desires to have the public clearly understand the se- ri6usness of the present milk situ- alton in the Boston milk shed. The wholesale price being paid for milk is so low that the farmer producer cannot break even in its production. The result is that farmers in all the New England states are losing money and a great many are having great difft- culty in meeting their obligations.
 "Unless Q price raise is secured promptly, the dairy industry of New England will be close to ruin and all those dependent on the farmers ability to pay will be in- jured.
 '"This committee is strongly in favor of the central marketing plan which the New England gov ernors' dairy advisory and arbitra- ton milk board is endeavoring to put into effect. We urge an imme- diate price increase on milk as a measure of fairness and of neces. sity for business reconstruction

 ditions Compiled for Benefit of the Farmers

Hartford, March 24.-Connecti- cuts Crop and Livestock Review" an annual publication of the State Department of Agriculture, is now available to Connecticut farmers. This crop information is compiled by the department in cooperation with the New England Crop Re- porting Service. It's chief purpose Is to place in the hands of Con- necticut farmers information which will be of assistance to them in more scientifically planning their farm business for the coming sea- son.
 s. Mclean Buckingham, state commissioner of agriculture, in his foreword says: "In accordance with our annual custom, we are making available in advance of the plant ing season facts and figures con- corning various phases of Connec- ticut agriculture. For the first time, we are including information concerning poultry numbers, vege- table acreage and prices paid to Conencticut farmers for poultry, eggs and vegetables!'
 The information pertains very largely to livestock numbers, acre. age, yield per acre, total produc- ton, values, etc, and compares the past season~with recent years. The report Is intended to convey to the farmers and tohers interested as accurate a picture as possible of the changes takig place in the vari- ous phases of Connecticut agricul- ture.
 The crop review shows that the principal farm crops produced in Connecticut during the 1881 season were valued at $17,9S4,000 or 31 per cent below the value of the same crops in 1880. Lower farm prices are explained as largely re-
