 The time elapsed for the wom- ems game was one hour and a half and the time for the second game was one hour and three minutes. Umpires were Lewis and Code, and scorekeepers were Beck and Polet.
 The fact that there was only one mems. game Wednesday night was that the management felt it would be too long to have a triple- header so after drawing lots the Federals and Commercials received rest this week. Next week the women will play again and the Federals will play the Conner cials, while the Alaskans and Hammon have rest. The games are becoming more exciting every week and much interest is dis played as to- who will win the mems series and who will win in the women,s series.

18 MOTIONS BEFORE SHORT CALENDAR
HOME IS CUTTED BY FIRE ON THE
 WOODTICK ROAD
One Family House Belong ing to Paul J. FOurnier Was Ba dly Damaged Last Evening

Fire Marshal D. J. Lahey and Captain William Russell investi- gated the cause of the fire, which devastated the one-family res idence of Paul J. Fournier at 654 woodtick road last evening. The loss is placed at $3,500. partly covered by insurance. The house is owned by Bernard Madden. relative of Fournier. and at whose home the latter was playing cards when the fire broke out. It is the opinion of the fire officials that the cause of the blaze was due to a pipeless furnace. The flooring became ignited and the flames worked their way up a stairway in the front section of the home to an attic and then spread in var ious directions. The house is shing- led with fire proof material, which kept the heat in the interior Of the dwelling.
 Howard J. Smith, driver of a wolcott bus, discovered the fire and after making several efforts to reach a telephone finally located Mir Fournier in Mir Madden's house a short distance from the fire. MT Madden made a fast trip to the nearest fire alarm box and sent In a call. The fire was brought under control in quick time, but due to the headway it had obtained con- siderable damage resulted. The furnishings of the home were lost in the fire.
