The two team were evenly matched, each getting flve hits and five batters being fanned by each pitcher, but the fielding of the vi: tors was slightly superior and gave them the victory. The Temco nine !started fast and scored three runs oft Bill Cunningham in the first two i lied and tied the score, then moved into the lead in the sixth.

Auto Pushes “Dummj” The traffic post in Central square was struck and damaged about 9:00 o'clock this morning when a car driven by a Forestvilje woman skid- rails and |crashed into it. The driver was at- {tempting to turn the corner from | Whiting street into West Main, but |the wheels slipped and the car hit the “dummy” on the near side, knocking it open and moving it about eight inches. The auto par- tially climbed the dummy and would probably have tipped over had not | the traffic post given ground. Neither |the woman nor her young son were |injured; the front axle of the car j was bent and the “wishbone” broken. | Spectators who witnessed the pecul- iar accident were of the opinion that it was unavoidable.

The revised bill, providing for the pro- posed sewer to be taken care of by the existing second taxing district, was presented to Representative Epaphroditus Peck two weeks before the close of the legislative scssion, according to Corporation Counsel William N. DeRosier in a statement to the city council last night. The revised bill, which was pre- pared by the corporation counsel. was approved by Ropes, Gray, Bor- den and Perkins, lawyers of Boston, who disapproved the tentative bill due to the fact that it proposed the establishment of an additional tax- ' ing district.

A petition asking for curbs and sidewalks on Rustic Terrace was referred to the street committee. Hearings No one appeared either to favor or object to the proposed building line on Queen street and Mayor John 1". Wade appointed the street com- mittee to assess benefits and dam- ages. There were no objectors to the proposed assessments of benefits and damages in connection with the construction of a sewer line between Park and Divinity streets and the city council voted to accept the rec- ommendations of the committee in this respect.

Michael Rambis of this tow: who conducts a garage in the soathern part of the community was fned on three counts aggregating $35 and given a 30-day suspended yal sen- tence by Judge George G. Griswold at the weekly session of the Berlin town court held last evening. Rambis was halled into coirt by State Patrolman Eukers and was charged with speeding, faiure to possess an operator’s license, failure to obey an officer and breack of the peace. According to Officer Euker's siory, he noticed Rambis driving along the highway without the proper markers on his wrecker. Calling the garage owner's attention to the matter he recievei several harsh words after which the speed- ing Berlinite jumped into tte wrecker and drove off at a high rate of speed. At the garage Eukers and Rambis became involved in a lengthy argu- ment which terminated in the sum- mons to court. Judge Griswold fined Rambis $10 on the speeding count, $3 on the charge of failure to pesses on op- tor's license, $3 for failure to obey an ofticer, a Bu cays jail sen- tence for the breach of peace count and costs of prosecution amounting to $17 Patsy Mangoni of Berlin was fined $10 and costs on charges of fishing ‘vithout a license. Mangoni was ar- rosted by Game Warden Yacger on & local pond. He pleaded guilty. John Frank of ~North Colony street, Meriden, summoned to an- wyer charges of reckless driving as tife result of an accident which oc- curred Sunday aftemoon on Farm- ington avenue near School strect, was found not guilty and discharged. frank was arrested after his car had struck a machine operated by astave Bodach of Beckley, turning over after the crash and slightly in- ring a young woman who was an accupant of Frank’'s car. Testimony showed that the Bodach machine it across the highway in front of rrank's car and that the Meriden driver swerved only in an effort to avoid the crash and did not cut scross the highway as was first «narged. Officer Frank Brown made ihe arrest. Wild Runaway Lewis Siering of West Cromwell wxperienced one of the wildest rides f his career when the horse he was Ariving took & dislike to halters and arness and staged a runaway “hrough the traffic of Worthington idge abont 3 o'clock yesterday aft- ernoon. Starting opposite the Town Hall the horse and wagon carecned down the highavay, narrowly missing scurrying machines and pedestrians and ended up against a telegraph pole near the George E. Prentice home, after having crashed into a car driven by Mrs. Mabel A. Rawley of Newington. Stering stuck with his horse, hav- ing been dislodged from the meat and sitting on the floor of the houne. ing wagon while the frightened anl- SECTION mal jumped over and under and around panic stricken motorists, The horse hit the Rawley machine after the driver had tried to escape it by taking the car across the highway into the gutter, badly damaging the fenders and glass in the closed car. A tree finally stopped the equine's mad chase, jamming the wheel in such a position that the future “Man o' War” was halted. Siering suffered a severe cut on his leg which was treated by Miss Ellen Boardman, a student nurse at New Britain General hospital. The driver rode the horse bareback up Worth- ington ridge following the excite- ment, seemingly unmoved by his late exhibition and bowing and smiling to the plaudits of the crowd which had quickly gathered, Officer Frank Brown was summoned to the scene but found no cause for arrest. | Fred A. Damon Fred A. Damon, of Hartford, son of Mrs. Josephine Damon and for many years a resident of this town, died yesterday at his home in Hart- | ford. He leaves many friends in this | { community, being a brother of the ! late Herbert H. Damon of Worth- ington ridge. He is survived byi three brothers, Dr. William A., Damon and Howard Damon of Hart- ford and Benjamin Damon of New York. The funeral will be held tomor- row afternoon in Hartford. Burial will take place in the Maple ceme- tery of this town, Noble Endorses Move Legion officials in charge of the fire protection investigation in this place have received an official en- dorsement from Fire Chief William J. Noble of the New Britain fire de- partment who has stated that he is in favor of the proposed move to establish a local department and that he believes that the town should install one before the new Lighway is started. The announcement is expected to bring out a large gathering at the open meeting of Bolton-Kasica post at the Town hall on Friday evening {when several prominent townspeople | will explain the proposed servic Opposition some time ago feares that the agitation for the local ser; ice might bring a break between the New Britain department and local circles, a situation which they |though might prove disastrous. Chief Noble's endorsement of the | | proposed department is termed as | | contradicting this argument, Legion officials say, as he is reported as having given his whole-hearted sup- | port to the idea of a local depart- ment. | Iollowing the open meeting it 13 thought that a call for a special | | town meeting will be sent out. The ! fire department has already reccived the endorsement of several town of- ficials including First Slectman | George B. Carte Clean-Up Tomorrow Selectman George B. Carter has issued another notice to the effect that the annual spring clean-up will e held tomorrow and that all resi- dents should be prepared for the service in order that the trucks may complish the job in as short a time as possible.
