Speaking of Sports SPVPVEVGVIPVIVIVIIOVIIG Eddle Anderson and the other star bowlers get their names in the papers frequently, but it is not often that a mere printer is able to se his name in type, However, last night George Law. son of Meriden, son of Jack Lawson incidentally, and Joe Murphy, ans other stalwart Meridenite, essayed to show “Red” Venberg and Otto Brandenberger a few points anent this popular indoor sport. “Red" boasts New Britain as his home town, Otto llves in Meriden but doesn't boast of it, The com-' bined Hardware-Silver duo handed the representatives of “The Home | of Skilled Industries” a sclentific les- son on how to bowl. They kidded them along until the last three frames, then gracefully drew away. | “Red” and “Ot", llke Alexander, now sigh for other worlds to con- quer. “Al” Venberg rolled up scores of 107 and 112, while his dependable partner rolled 96 and 95. Tt would be unfair to print ‘the scores of the other team. “Chuck” Wojak has returned home from the Giant-Chisox barn- storming trip in Europe. He reports a most dellghtful trip, but does not.think the Europeans or British fully appreclate the great national pastime. Is the All New Britain football scason over? Yes or no!

After a collectipn had been taken up for the lad among | the men on duty he was given a hot meal, topped off with two slices of pie, which the walf sald was the first he ever had eaten and was then held for the children's soclety. The youth told of a life-long or- phanhood in various institutions, the monotnoy of which was relieved only by the one adventure of helping a man rob the home of James F. Richardson, a sherift in Islip, L. T, This escapade, Peters sald, resulted in his capture and confinement g the asylum from which he had made his escape early this morning. The lad said the boredom of life in the institution had driven him to seek refuge in flight, Without a cent in his pockets, the | country roads down the Hudson and | had entered the clty by way of| Broadway. The night of resplendant limousines filled with expensively | gowned women drawing up to thea. ter entrances had so entranced him, he explained, that he was oblivious of his own predicament and where- abouts until he reached the 23ra street ferry district, where he lost his way.

Later he located at 724 Elm Street, from which the 7-20-4 Cigar derived its name. It was a struggle at first. Capital was limited and competition keen, but the uniform excellence of the cigar steadily gained, and for fifty years has continued to gain friends. Since 1874 the business has outgrown six factories and now occupies one of the largest and most hygienic cigar fac- tories in the world. More than 1500 men and women are employed, with an annual payroll of two million dollars. In 1923 the firm of R. G. Sullivan paid the United States Government $2,225,000 for import and stamp taxes. Notwithstanding its enormous growth, the entire business was owned by Mr. Sullivan- until his death, July -~ 13, 1918. Since then it has been and " is now owned exclusively by his family. HERE.
