Sundays baseball game between
Sank Centre formerly the J. J..
Kchn's), and the Colored Giants
was splendidly attended, and al
though the colored boys got off to
a bad start, the play took on some
of the aspects Of ball game as 1t
proceeded.
The Sank Centre team is a splen-
did aggregation Of young men, who
are ball players, some Of them be-
ing mentioned recently as big lea
que material. Lasky, right fielder
of the local team, made splendid
cne-hand spear Of a liner and re-
tired one of the colored players by
catching a foul after a long hard
run. Other plays which thrilled the
fans were almost impossible catch
es by the first baseman and catch
err Of the local outfit.
The Giants garnered a run in
the first inning on a walk, a stolen
base and hit, and from then until
the fifth were held scoreless. Sank
Centre made four scores in the
first inning and evidently took the
heart out of the colored boys, for
they were pepless when they re-
turned to take their stand in the
field. The first inning was a hectic
one. Two walks, an error, two hits,
one Of the scratchy variety, mis-
judged by the left fielder, were
responsible for the quartet Of
counters, which momentarily
downed the African offspring.
The locals scored again in the
third stanza on a two base hit by
Mock and an error at short. The
seventh inning also was Of the hec-
tic variety, for with two walks,

PROCLAMATION

At the request of the business
men of Sank Centre a survey of
the city was made and it was found
that practically all of the business
men will close their stores all day
Memorial Day, Saturday, May 30
They will keep their stores open
on Friday night until ten o'clock.
Owing to the fact that all cities and
towns in this vicinity are closing
all day Memorial Day, it seems fit
ting and proper that Sank Centre
emulate the example in honoring
the soldier dead. I therefore ask
that all give serious thought to this
matter and join with the Veterans
in honoring those who made the
supreme sacrifice and those who
gave merited service to their coun-
try.

Committee

Mir. Wakclee was in charge of the invitations issued to former teach- CTS.
 The school itself, which was given to the Mattatuck Historical Society by Miss Emily E. Morris in memory of her mother Mrs. Eugenia Tuttie Morris, is of stone which is c rare fact in itself for it is tho only one of It's kind in this section, oil others being made of wood.
 Committee
 The committee composed of Prof. Odell Shepard of Trinity college, Hartford; John P. Elton and Raw son W. Haddon Is endeaVorInR to locate schoolroom furnishings and the like that date back to that par. ticular period but the search is most difficult. It has been revealed after wilIgent researches that in the time of 1925 the schoolmaSter sat at his desk in the middle of the room and that the pupils sat on benches in front of him. The benches had no backs and tho hours were long and tedious for tho children. OftentlmeS Q pupil would grow 60 tired as to fall asleep and drop of the bench to land with C thud on the floor.
 However, it was learned from c member of tho Alcott family that tho bench ct the old Woodtlck school had c back on 1t to ease tho misery of the children and that in the winter it was hauled around in front of the fireplace while in the warm days of tho spring and fall it was placed in tho coolest spot of the room. Such 0 bench will mark the furnishing of tho present day school. The old fireplace will like. wise be reconstructed and a pail and dipper and a woodbox filled with wood while children's hats and caps, and cloakS will Do procured to hang on the pegs in the dressing room.
