FUR SALE — ONE FLOOR UP Berlin News ABANDONED AUTD FOUND IN THICKET Mystery in Ownership of Coupe « Yith Jersey Markers BARN BURNED DOWN Smeigel Property Destroyed In Spec- tacular Blaze—Selectmen to Meet ~Tabs Lose Ball Game — Notes of Interest. Considerable mystery discovery of an abandoned car which ‘was found yesterday in the woods of Blue Hills, remote from any dwell- ing and which had been there for at least three months, police esti- mate. The machine was found by East Berlin motorists in the woods and who accidentally came upon the car which is of the coupe type. It stood about 500 feet off the main highway and bore New Jersey mark- ers and contained bread and other | foodstuffs. It was in bad condition outwardly but an examination of its motor proved that no serious defects were present. Rats had made their ‘way into it and -had built nests and ; attacked the foodstuffs giving the authorities to believe that it had stood in the deserted spot for a con- siderable length of time. Local po- lice are checking up with New Jer- sey authorities in an effort to un- tangle the problem. accepted that the car was a stolen machine which was abandoned in the local woods by the thieves when gasoline ran low. Barn Burns to Ground A large barn owned by Julian Bmelgel, located in East Berlin near the Mattabesett bridge, burned to the ground at about § o'clock Satur- day afternoon after a fire of un known origin was unsuccessfuly combatted by the Middletown fire department which was summoned to the scene. Loss is estimated at be- ing between $2,000 and $3,000. The Smeigel family was absent from the scene of the blaze at the time the fire was discovered, having gone into Middletown to do some shopping. Passing motorists discov- ered the blaze and the Middletown department was called but absence oof water in the near vicinity of the farm hampered the firemen their efforts to save the building. The loss involved includes several tons of hay, farming implements and a small amount of live stock. The Smeigel place is better known locally as the “Burr The present owner purchased the property about three years ago. Lo- cal authorities were notified of the blaze and were in readiness to send ald if the occasion demanded the summoning of the New Britain de- partment. The fire, which was made spectacular by the burning hay, at- tracted hundreds of motorists who lined both sides of the road for a great distance on ‘each side of the blaze. Local constables acted in di- recting traffic while the congestion blocked the highway. The loss is reported partially covered by insur- ance. Game Postponed The Legion league baseball game which was to take place on Baturday afternoon between the Kensington Boys’ club team and the East Berlin Boys' club team was called off at the last minute when it was found that the Kensington squad could not ather its men together for the en- sagement. The cancellation added another delay to the already much delayed Legion league and fans are anxious fer the werds “Play Ball” surrounds | It is generally | in | Homestead". | in the near future. Selectmen’s M The regular weekly meeting of the board of slectmen will be held this evening at 8 o'clock at the of- fice of the town clerk. Considerable important business is scheduled for appearance at the session including survey of the traffic problems which are growing more difficult each day as construction activities on the lo- cal highways progress. A plea for the reconditioning of the back road to New Britain from Upson’s corner to Avery's corner, New Britain, has been lodged by several local resi- dents and it is thought that that question will also have its part of the evening's transactions. Tabs Walloped The Pirates of New Britain set- tled old scores with the St. Paul Tabs bascball team yesterday after- noon. at Willow Brook park and won a 10 inning game to the tune of 5 to 4. McCormick twirled for the lo- ical aggregation while “Lefty” Wil- liams overcame an old jinx and held his opponents to a low total of hits. Previous to yesterday's game, the Kensingtonians held the Indian sign on the left handed New Britainite, touching him for elght runs in one !inning during a recent game, but yesterday the Hardware City lad re- versed the situation and held the local batters down to a meagre scat- |tering of bingles. Arrests Two Kensington at 7:30 o'clock Satur- {day evening presented a peaceful ap- pearance to the casual passer-by. Came sounds of tumult and shout- ing and an improptu review of the Dempsey-Sharkey fight. Also came the long arm of the law in the shape of Constable Frank' Brown, intent lon quelling the disturbance. ! . When the dust had cleared the local officer was holding Paul Kaw- icki of 15 Hurlburt street, New Bri- {tain and George Honkel of Kensing- ton. The two men were lodged in the New Britain police ' station |charged with assault, drunkeness, and breach of the peace. They will appear before Judge George G. Griswold at tomorrow's session of !the Berlin town court and will en- deavor to explain just why they re- ceived the attention of Constable | Brown. All-K’s Take One Affer losing Staurday to the Tattville squad at the score of 2 to 1, the All-Kensington baseball team made & strong comeback yesterday afternoon in a snappily played, clean game with the Branford baseball team at Percival avenue field, beat- ing the shore-linérs by the score of 7 to 3. A large gathering of fans | was present at the battle and ap- proved loudly of Dan Malarney's |charges' sterling play throughout the game. Drum Corps Rehearsal | The St. Paul Tabs Fife and Drum |Corps will hold its regular weekly business meeting and rehearsal this |evening at 8 o'clock at the Tabs Hall, Kensington.

He plans to take a motor trip through New England and possibly Canada Miss Dorothy Ross of Kensington |is visiting her aunt, Mrs. William J. O'Brien of New Haven. Henry Deming, treasurer of the Berlin Savings Bank, returned today from & two weeks' vacation spent at his summer home at the shore. Miss Nora O'Connell of Kensing- ton has returned from a week's visit with friends in Binghamton, New York. Mrs. William W. Fagan and daughter, Mary, of Kensington are visiting Mrs. Fagan's brother, Rev. Joseph Kenney of Austin, Pa. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Gwatkin of Worthington ridge left yesterday on a camping trip to Canada and Maine. Son Born A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Gunnard Anderson of Kensington at the New Britain General hospital on Saturday afternoon. Violinist Entertains Harold Bruce of this place gave several violin selections before the members of the Burritt Grange in New Britain on Saturday evening. Mr. Bruce, one of Berlin's well known young men, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Bruce. i Razing Structure State authorities have begun the razing of the old barn which stands in the rear of the site of the old post office. Bids on this building were called for by the state but Jit- tle interest was shown in the pur- chase of the building and the state officlals have decided to do away with all buildings on the cornar of Worthington ridge and Farmington avenue which might obstruct the view of the new highway. Work on the gas station being built on the Jones property is pro- gressing at a fast rate. Ifs comple- tion is being looked forward to in the near future. The work of laying the gas line today reached the station underpass. Excavation work at that point has put traffic on a one way basis until operations are concluded. points along the Beach Swamp road were also restricted to the passing of single cars as work on the new highway continued. Extreme caution is being urged by local authorities in passing over the torn portions of the road, yesterday's heavy traffic resulting in several near crashes be- cause of ambitious speeders. To Recondition Diamond Coach Adolph Schultz of the Ber- lin Juniors baseball team has an- nounced that the grounds would be entirely recon- ditioned during the week and the diamond put in A-1 condition. The Worthington diamond has been noted for being an erratic playing field and Schultz's announcement will relieve local stars who have games scheduled to be played on the Community field. Forfeits Game The Highland Park baseball team forfeited a County Y game Satur- day when it failed to appear against the Kensington Congrega- tional church at Benedict-Phillips fleld Saturday afternoon. It is re- ported that the Highland Park squad has dropped out of the league, although this has not been substantiated by league authorities. Kensington will play Broad Brook at Kensington on Saturday afternoon, August 13. Practice of the local squad will be held Thurs- day evening at 6:30 o'clock at (Continued on Page 11) Several | Communtiy | LEGION COMMENDED' FOR TS PROJECTS Gommunity Work Brings Praise From National Director GAS STATION ENTERED Prelle Robbed of $10 Worth of Goods—All-Plainvilles Win But Blues Lose in 11th Inning—Chau- tauqua to Close Triple Collision. A letter commending ~ Brock- cefved by Commander Paul from Dan Sowers, national di- rector of the Americanism commis- will shortly be cited for this work, as stated in the following letter. “I am happy to inform you that your post has been cited for honor- able mention in an early release of our Community Service Citation column. Officlal notice of this cita- tion will be sent you by Adjutant James F. Burton. “Please accept for yourself and your post heartiest congratulations on the fine constructive work you are doing."” Brock-Barnes post has been ac- tive in promoting or supporting a large number of schemes for com- munity benefit during the past few years, taking part in almost every campaign which had this purpose in view. It shouldered the entire bur- den of securing uniform decoration of the town on national holidays, se- curing flags, selling them to the merchants, and having holes to sup- port them placed along the curbs about the center of the town. Last Christmas the post sponsored a community Christmas tree, the first in the history of Plainville. This was located on the old “town lot,” which is no longer known by such a designation. The Legionnaires have taken over the plot, graded and seeded it, and installed gravel walks, transforming the once unsightly tract into a square of growing beauty. A cannon received from the government was placed on this green last fall and presented to the town. Members of the post are still caring for the green. The Legion contributed to the Grade School Alumni association project of establishing a playground in the Broad street school yard. It began this June an annual custom of awarding medals to the boy and girl with the best records of scolar- ship and character in the graduating class of the grammar school. A Boy Scout troop, Troop 33, has been started and numbered from the designation of the post itself. Gas Station Entered The gas station of L. G. Prelle on Cook street was entered Saturday {night and cigars and cigarettes | worth $10 were stolen. The thieves | did a good job, entering and leaving by a window without beihg seen. The robbery was discovered yester- day morning and Constable Willlam Buys was notified, but no clews had been left. The state police are now investigating. All-Plainvilles Win The All-Plainvilles nosed out the St. John's A. C. of Meriden in a tizht baseball game played at the high school field here yesterday aft- ernoon, rallying in the eighth inning to win by 3-2. Plainville got off to a two-run lead in the third frame, but Meriden came back to score once in the sixth and tie the count in the | eighth. In the last half of this frame, however, Plainville scored again and won. Kalish pitched great ball up to the eighth inning. and Datoli duplicated his performance him. The visitors made four hits off the pair. Crampton starred for Plainville with three of the six hits the home team colected. Next week the All-Plainvilles and Blues will make a second attempt to start their series for the town title. Yesterday's box score. All-Plainville ab Darrow, 3b . Crampton, 2b .

A customer tossed the match 1 Nothing happened for some time and another customer was being waited on. Suddenly the basket ignited and the flames shot up. The boy in charge at the time was able to put them out before any damage was done to the store, but local shop- keepers today were united in a de- sire to stop this dangerous form of carelessness. They say that customers frequent- ly throw matches around without bothering to notice if they are extin- guished. Others leave lighted cigar- ettes on the counters while being wanted upon and then walk out without them. This practice is the less dangerous of the two, because the butts are usually noticed before they burn back far enough to char the woodwork, but the merchants are one in asking their patrons to be more careful with the matches. Blues Lose Tough Game ! The Plainville Blues lost a tough |baseball game to Tariftville in that town yesterday afternoon, dropping the decision by 10-9 after an 11 in- ning struggle. After the regular nine innings had been played the score was tied at 7-7 and the tenth passed without runs. In the first half of the eleventh the Blues made two counters and then had two Tar- iffville men out and a man on sec- ond when they got a tough break. The next batter hit safely and a throw was made to the plate. The umpire made a questionable decision and called the runner safe despite the Blues' protest. The next batter hit a home run and won the game. Ewald starred for Plainville with a pair of doubles. Matteo should have had a home run in the ninth, but the ball struck a car parked in the outfield and bounded back, the coaches holding Matteo at second. Miss Feury to Wed Miss Margaret Feury and Leonard Cash will be married at 9 o'clock to- morrow morning at Portland, Me. Miss Feury was formerly a teacher in the Broad street achool here. The couple will reside in South Portland, Me. Triple Auto Collision Three cars collided at Central square about 3 o'clock Saturday aft- ernoon but no one was injured and none of the machines were badly damaged. A machine operated by August Matson of Farmington av- enue stopped suddenly and a second auto driven by Theodore F. Onkey of 1557 Fairfield avenue, Bridgeport, came to a quick halt behind it. Dominick Nettle of Redstone street, Forestville, was not so lucky in stopping and rammed Onkey's car, pushing it into Matson's. Matson’s car suffered a bent tire carrier and mudguard, Onkey's sus- tained a broken bumper, and the windshield and bumper of Netti's were smashed. Constable Clesson H. Saunders investigated but made no arrests. Constable Saunders was on duty at the center yesterday and reported about 1,200 cars an hour passed through. At Blossom's corner, where Constable William Buys was stationed, the count showed 1.300. No accidents were reported during the day despite this heavy traffic.

Ann Arbor, Mich,, Aug. 8 (P—A new stadium for western conference football {s moving swittly toward icompletion at the University of Michigan that Coach Yost expects to | have the use of it for practice sev- eral weeks before Oct. 13—the date on which the contract calls for it to be ready. The Wolverine bowl, although the {newest in Big Ten stadia undertak- tings, will not be the largest. The |stands at Ohlo State and the Univer- sity of Illinols will accommodate {more. Nevertheless facilities will be {afforded about 60,000 persons to view Michigan home games, or about 113,000 more than could be packed |into Ferry fleld which the bowl re- | laces. The new stadium is another evi- dence that football is a paying enter- prise at Michigan, fnasmuch as the itotal cost of construction—close to 1$1,000,000—will come from footbal profits. It was only a few vears ago !that the $500,000 Yost field house on the Michigan campus was con- ;structed on the same financial basis. COMES ASHORE TO DIE Pittsfleld, Mass..
