fact that we are now supplying ap-

THE natural flow Of the river az

PREFER FAIR PLAY
To CHAMPIONSHIP

The Mountain Toppers have
been the best team in the county
league this year. They have won
more games than any other team
and only the quirks of fate and
their own unwillingneSS to take
the unfair advantages that other
teams have taken have prevented
them from being county cham
pions. Had the season not been
split they would have won going
away.
!. But the two teams that will par
6Icipate in the series for the coun-
ty championship-EaSt Flat Rock
and Fletcher-are both plenty
good. Besides, they are relent-
less rivals. The two teams play
ed in the series last year and
great crowds turned out to wit
ness the games. They were tight
and thrilling and promise to be
even better this year, for both
teams are improYed-have more
star performers in their line ups.
The pitching of both teams will
be good. Fletcher will doubtless
depend upon ]. Baldwin, their ace
Southpaw, to turn East Flat Rock
back, while it is reported that
East Flat Rock will use j. Jack

BLANCHE MEO IS GIVEN DIVORCE Allowed Custody of Three ChiIdren-NO AIimOny
 Ordered

Divorce on grounds of cruelty is granted Blanche Medford Meo against Frank A. Meo, both of Wa terbury in decision handed down in superior court today. The trial was heard this week by Judge Newell Jennings. The decision allows cus- today of three minor children to the plaintiff, and provides for reaSon- able visitation to the defendant.
 The decision does not, however, order alimony or support paid by the defendant who is described by the judge as earning barely enough to support himself. The decision points out, though, that should the defendant be in position in the future to earn more money he should turn it over to the plaintiff for thes upport of the children. At- torney A. L. Finklestein appeared for the plaintiff and Attorney Ralph c. Coppeto for the defendant.
