 at ChicagO's TrianOn

The Sbig orchestra season" off, cially will be ushered in at the Hamilton park pavilion Sunday night when Nal Hallett brings his famous "Band of Stars" to the popular recreation center for the first time this season. The name of Hallett is now, as always, ranked high among the greats of the radio and dance orchestra world.

 Within the past several months their triumphs have carried them over long engagement at the great Hotel Commodore in New York city as well as three weeks at the Para mount theater ni Times Square. From there another sensational en- gagement resulted when the Hallett troupe played opposite Rudy Val- lee at Atlantic City's great Steel Pier ballroom. Later Nal scored at the Trianon, Chicago.
 The band is greater than ever. Featured in the new and up to the minute routine of entertainment are lovely Teddy Grace, Frankie Carle, the wizard of the ivories"; Joe Cabanaro; Jerry Perkins, Buddy Welcome; Charley Blake; Clark Yocum and the rest.
 Doors open at 7:30 at Hamilton park Sunday night and dancing will be in order from 8:30 till l a. m. There is never a charge for parking.

 Three New Bridges
Two Over Rivers and Third Over Railroad Track in
 Norwich Section Planned By Highway Dept.

Norwich-Three new bridges, two over. rivers and one over railroad tracks, are now being pushed to completion by the state highway department in this sector of the state, and in each case Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald, in planning the structures to meet the requirements of traffic and to provide safety in event of flood has also realigned the approaching highways to eliminate sharp curves and to adjust grades.
 The bridges are being built at Taftville over the Shetucket river, at Bean Hill over the Yantic river, and at Yantic over the Central Ver- mont railroad. Each of the struc- lures is Q sizeable construction project, requiring considerable amounts of material and employ inent by the contractors of large forces of workers.
 Located on Route No. 93, the Taftville bridge is about 200 feet east of the intersection of Norwich avenue or Route No. 207, and about ur.tenths of a mile south of the Taftville Dam. This structure is of the Twin span, deck truss type, measuring 130 feet across the two spans. The steel trusses are to be supported on reinforced concrete abutments and a reinforced con- crete center pier which rests on 10,o00 pounds of steel bearing piles, 20 feet long and 24 in number, driven to bed rock. Tho abutmen!s !s rest on 147,000 pounds of steel bearing piles, 153 of them measur- ing 20 and 25 feet long, driven to bed rock.

CHICKS FAIL TO
STRETCH LEAD
By UNITED PRESS

The lowly Lookouts from Chat
tanooga, Monday spoiled Men,
phis' opportunity to stretch out
their Southern association lead by
outclassing the Chicks to take a
6 to 5 edge in a 10-inning battle.
The defeat left Billy South
worth's Chicks still in the lead of
the league. But it cost them
chance to take a heavier advan-
tage in the hot and heavy race,
since Atlanta tripped up the run
nerup Little Rock Pebs to 6.
The Lookouts made good their
victory over the league leaders af-
ter seeing the Chicks knot up the
score by driving in one run in the
first of the ninth. Chattanooga
came right back, however, to
drive in the deciding run in the
last of the 10th.
Banner, and Phebus split up the
mound assignment for the Look
outs, yielding 10 hits and besting
DOYLE and Spencer of the Chicks,
who were touched for only nine
safeties.
After getting away to a four
run leadin the first two innings,
Arlanta saw Little Rock even it
up, but then came back in three
run rally during the final two
stanZas to shade the Pcbs.
The two runs scored by the
Crackers in the eighth knottcd up
the score and they sent in the
winning marker in the ninth. Dur
ham started for the penant hold
crs, but was relieved by Beckman
and Miller. The three Cracker
pitchers gave up II hits, the same
as Rogers and Dickman who work
ed on the mound for the Pcbs.
While Casey scattered out II
hits, Birmingham hit Mcclure and
Heintzelman and Kardow of
Knoxville hard to defeat the
Smokes Q to A. The Barons bunch
ed their power in the fifth and
ninth innings, during each of
which they scored three times.
New Orleans at Nashville mix
ed in night game.
The Pelicans collected ID hits
off three Nashville hurlers -
Johnson, Campbell and Watkins
to defeat the Vols Q to A.
Humphreys went the full dis
lance for New Orleans, giving up
10 hits. The Vols, however, scor-
ed all four of their runs during
the second and third innings.
From that point on the Pelican
pitcher was highly effective and
shut them out.

Neither spoke again seriously of
being lost, for it was, somehow,
embarrassing. Stuart felt his in

and Carolee sensed his feeling.
She tried tactfully to ease him
because, after all, he had discov-
cred the white spot and saved
them.

them Just the direction they
