Ringing Bros, Barnum & Bailey have & pretty swell circus, but my vote goes for the greatest Gaston and Alphone act put on by none other than Deyito and Telesco of the Ebrons in the first and second game against those misfortunate Rubens who seemed to be well on their way for a win when up comes Devito in the ninth and tenth box with two spares and followed by AL phonse and Telesco who were not going to be outdone by Gaston De- vito and pulls two more spares put ting the Rubens in despair and fur- ther down in the cellar.
 For a while 1t looked as if De- vito and Telesco were going to be the main attraction but another three-ring circus was taking place on Alley and 6 where the leading zammas were going on with their usual tricks in tripping Frank Mag he's ASirs for two games. Why those Asirs played everything from "ring-around-rosey" to top-hat in giving the games away. Please don't misunderstood me. Technically speaking they did roll one good game but lucky Jo.Jo SummaS triple strike, a 3S4 total, was little too much for the ASirs.
 Then quite unexpectedly another band blared forth from alley and 2 where the Zaras and the Efers, arch enemies of the league, were staging another sideshow of the wild west with good riding broth CT act between Wild Cider Bill and Goldie Giordano. It all started when Goldie got a three box and Bill who does not fair so well in bowling started to ride Goldie but ho and behold when Bill came up he got a two box and then the hair-pulltng act went on with Bill getting the best two pulls out of three grabs. By the way, Bill is bald and Goldic could not get good hold. But be- fore we know what happened Tom Iannachino got his first spare in A boxes and what does he do but throw his first ball in the great open spaces for 8 filler. And before you knew Ralph Santopietro, also of the Efers, was wrestling with Dan Briotti of the Zaras and through some tricky combination of 8 kerry flip and Irish whip Briotti was able to freeze Ralph's face to the mat for two falls out of three. All this time Joe Mazzie, Bill Brennan, Tony Spapnola and Rudy Mazzie were having a little teeth pulling brawl of their own in 8 corner with Rudy coming up with one minus. And then practically all the bowlers were hugging each other. I almost ex- pected Brownie to dim the lights for a moonlight waltz.
 Father Riccio also threw some well aimed punches but from my particular perch they didn't seem harmful enough to smash boiled potato. Here the play had just about played itself out when Al Carp came up swinging like he was waving. at somebody he knew. Oh! almost forgot-"Ap your average took another toboggan slide.

WARRING ON PIN MACHINES
a(Meriden JournaD

The pin ball machine is a wicked gambling device in Hartford, but okay legally in New Britain. That's the impression one gets from the public prints of those cities. New Britain still wars intermittently on the faithful old slot machine. Hart ford has been all through that, though the "slots" are still run ming, and is much concerned just now over the flood of pin machines that has swept the city.
 The pin balls have taken on a business dress. There are at least 20 distributors in Hartford and a dues-paying organization of opera tors exists. The machines are put out on a commission basis. A "ser- vice department" takes care of breakdowns and machines are never permitted to be out of order more than a few minutes. Until the police got nasty, the systems only trouble was caused by burglars who smashed open the machines to get the money out.
 Capt. Grogan worries about the effect on children who bet on the rolls of little steel balls. He is also concerned about adult players who spend thousands of dollars month in this way without realizing, as he says, that many of the machines are fixed" so that Units" are al- most impossible.

Distinct Personality

The death of John F. Rolfe, publisher of the Hartford Times, ends notable and busy career. For 39 years he had been intimately linked with the newspaper business. From the time that he left school until last Thursday when he was stricken he had been actively engaged in the writing and editing of news for pulp lication, as well as planning makeup of news and feature presentation He was every inch newspapernan, good one, and the pity of it is that Connecticut did not have more of his years of ex- perience. He only came to the Times in 1928.
 Yet in the few short years that he spent in Hartford he managed to become widely known throughout the state. His interests were always many and varied. He numbered his memberships in all types of organizations. The contacts he made no doubt served him we'll on many an oc- casion, but it must be said that John Rolfe was not so rewSpaper-min that he associated in various groups and or- ganizations for what he coud get out of them. Quite the contrary. He never en- gagged in any activity without giving to it much more than he got out of it.
 He was one of those indefatigable men who are capable of accomplishing well any number of things. His personality was big asset to him; his alibity to speak on every occasion and on so many topics stood him in good stead He was news paperman of whom it could be written he had his finger on the pulse of the community, the state, the nation, and the world. Connecticut newspaperdom suf- fers by his death. Our sincere sympathies to his family and the Hartford Times.

No Politics In It

We hope that legislators of both major political parties will stick to their reSo- iutions of last week, namely to avoid political lines in considering the state government reorganization bills. For a time it looked as if both parties would make a football of this worthwhile rndeavor to straighten out loose ends of archaic arms of our state government. Now that both parties have decided to play ball, perhaps something will be accomplished. There is need for coop eration on this measure.
 It is one of the most controversial issues to come before the Legislature. By that we mean it involves so many present office-holders and future ones that 1t IS hard to take definite steps without tread ing on someone's toes. There are parts, too, of the measure which requires more than passing attention. Deep study IS required if true analysis of the reoran- ization commissions recommendations is to be furnished in both houses of the Legislature.
 We don't expect that reorganization can be brought about any where like what the commission suggests. That's entirely too drastic to be gulped down by a state in which political control of the government is so hotly contested as it is in Connecticut There are obvious changes, though, that can be accom- plished without bringing into it party lines The spirit that made republicans offer to reconsider in the presence ot democrats certain portions of the reor- ganization bills should be recognized by democrats and enlarged upon by them.
 No good whatsoever can come of dis satisfied legislators dealing with reorgan- ization. And much harm can be caused by failure of responsible legislators to perform their manifest duties with regard to the bills concerning reorganization. Let's get together on it before a messy bill is put through to our general sorrow.
