Scoring Punch Shown
By W. A. A. Stickmen
In S-to-O Triumph
Score in Every Period
Against Westchester
On q Soeey Field

The increased scoring punch that
Coach Joe Deckman was seeking in
his Washington A. A. lacrosse team
came out of hiding yesterday when
the locals buried the Westchester
Teachers beneath an 30 count on
the Potomac Park polo field for
their second victory in as many
starts.
Despite the rather heavy going,
the wir rs scored in every period
and on in the second did they
fail to push the solid rubber ball
into the Teachers crease twice.
Washington heaviest assault came
in the third quarter when Deckman
tipped pass to Rod Brooks for
the fourth score and then took a
pass from Smith from behind the
goal to race around and make one
himself A moment later, Leo
Hantske golfed one from in front of
the crease and it was 60.
Westchester opened with zone
defense which looked as if it might
battle the Washington team. But
Leo Hantske broke the ice with a
flip shot at the end of an extra
man break down the field by Howard
Randall and a few minutes later,
Bob Smith cashed pay dirt after
a whirling dodge through the entire
WestcheSter team.
In all, the Washington A. A stick
men appeared a much improved
team. The addition of Bob Smith
and Al Sagner undoubtedly had
much TO do with its betterment, the
latter being an all-American on
Yale's 1888 team. Mickey Mulitz's
defense work also was pleasing.

FIRE THREATENS
 AMMONIA SUPPLY
Early Morning Blaze Dam- ages Basement of Sperry
 Street Building

Fire extensively damaged the basement of a wooden four-story building at 2-6 Sperry street early this morning in which large supply of paper, twine and other material of the D. F. Beach Co.,, wholesale meat distributors, is stored. For a time 1t threatened the ammonia supply lines. Chief Thomas J. Cava- naugh who was on the scene direct ing the flremen sent in another alarm when 1t was feared the fire would break out again in another section.
 The basement in which supplies were stored is covered by insurance. Lieut.. Eugene Legge, aide to Fire Marshal Den J. Lahey, said the fire started in the cellar in the rear of the grocery store at Sperry street, managed by A. P. Roy, then spread to the basement of the D. F. Beach O., where it finally was brought under control when it mushroomed through the west side of the build ing.
 The blaze was discovered by Su- pernumerary Frank D. Romano, who immediately rang Box 723, which brought out four p;sccs of fire equipment. The second alarm was sent in soon after by Chief Cava- naugh and three additional pieces of appartuns responded.
 When fire menaced the ammonia supply lines of the refrigeration system of the Beach O., firemen shut the lines in order to prevent gas from escaping. The basement used by the meat concern was food ed with water.
 Harold Coley, employed by the meat concern, said the stock in the basement was covered by insurance.
 Tenants made a nasty retreat after the fire was discovered and many quickly grabbed whatever ap- parel was near and fled from their apartment, but were permitted to return about an hour after to their homes.
 Policemen. directed by Capt. Fred Hickey. diverted traffic over West Main street and Meadow street, by the way Of Thomaston avenue.
 Traffic was rerouted for more than an hour as fire apparatus at the scene blocked motorists from passing.
 Slight damage was dore to the meat stored in tho Beach concerns cooler and Co the grocery stock in the store operated y 1cV.

CLOUDY AND COOLER
 REPORT FOR SUNDAY

Clearing skies this morning and warm weather brought an end to the short-lived rainfall of yester- day and last night. Of 24-hour duration, the precipitation marked the end of the long drought ex- perienced in this region. Total rainfall was estimated at midnight as 39 inches.
 The prediction of the weather prophet today was for occasional showers, followed by cloudy and cooler Sunday. Farmers. principal victims of last months aridity, well come the prospect of rain, but to baseball fans following the current world series between the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers, the promise of rain is a bitter dose. Yesterdays game was washed out by indictment weather.

company of Waterbury Wednesday night on Prospect street. The for. nal charge was breach of peace.
 William Sabetta, 1T, of 3 Ayers street was cleared of the breach of peace charge when Judge Mar tin l.. Caine discharged him.
 Judge Caine ordered Collette and Gelinas each to post a $2s bond to keep the peace until the decision is handed down. The trial of the three caused much excite rnent and the Glass company strikers damned the courtroom throughout the trial.
 After Clifford White, Glass com pany superintendent, has testified he identified these three as the ones who threw stones, Montgom- cry Woolson, of Clin stret, Nauga- tuck, salesman for the glass firm, said he saw Collette and Gelinas throwing missiles at the truck but said he saw Sabetta with a rock in his hand, apparently poised to throw. He did not see him throw it, however. He admitted he did not know who GNlinas was when he saw him but learned his name at the factory the next day when he came to get his pay.
 Fral4k Bartholomew of 13T Acad- emy avenue, Waterbury, driver of the truck, said one stone cracked the trucks windshield and another dented the cab door. Neither he nor Edward Snow, also of Water bury, an employe of the Standard Express Company, could identify the hurlerS of the missiles because they said they were too far away
 Pros. Atty. Thomas R. Neary said in summing up that there was nc doubt that the trio were guilty. He said the rocks which hit the truck didn't come from heaven and point ed out that the trio had been DO. sitively identified by MT. White al the ones who threw the stones He said as prosecuting attorney 1t t his duty to see human lives are rlot endangered by acts of others anc said he intends to carry out thit duty.
 No witnesses were called for the defense. After Atty. Nelson Harris succeeded in 8 motion asking dis- charge of Sabetta, he said he felt the other two should also be dis. charged. He emphasized that the truck driver knew of the condition at the plant and that 1t is unusual to send a truck there at night tc pick up goods. The judge then re. served decision in the two cases.
