The game reached its height here between 1850 and 1860, which was just before baseball was invented and became popular. It was even more popular in Bristol, and that city enjoyed a distinction which has probably never been ap- proached—for half a century the Bristol team did not suffer a de- feat, en after baseball had taken the e of wicket, the old game was kept alive in Bristol by the playing of a match every year or two. 190-152¢ New Britain had a good wicket club in the late '50's. The Phoenix club played frequently and took many a c k at Bristol but was Inever able to overcome f{ts neigh- bors. It put up a good fight in one famous old game in 1859 but final- ly succumbed by 190-15. innings. Among noted residents who played in that game were William H, Hart, Col. S8amuel Moore; William Burritt, the gold- smith; Charles Gilbert, Valentine B. Chamberlain, Andrew Corbin, Phil- ip Corbin, Abiram Chamberiain, and Walter Stanley, When the team re- turned to this city after its unsuc- cesstul invasion the engine made the loss known by a mournful whistling, and the players were greeted at the station by a crowd of fans liberally swathed in black cambric, ‘When Rristol held its Old Home Week celebration in 1903 it as only natural that wicket, which had never completely died cut there, should be revived, and a challenge was sent to Mayor Samuel Basseit of New Britain, daring him to chooes a team to gome over and try to break Bristol's record. The mayor accepted - the defi and gathered a team, which went over to Bristol for the great game on September 5, 1903, just 25 yars ago next Wed- nesday. 000 Attend Game Fully 2,000 people gathered to witness the game. Few of them knew anything about the game ex- pt that when the players ran there was something doing, but they shouted vociferously whenever there was action and made up by volume what their comments lacked ground and got it past the batters vith ease, Dr. A. W. Howard of Wethersfield was the best man in the New Britain line-up, getting, 11 runs in this first frame. Hillard “picked out a ball that netted New Britain three runs” on a ‘“star play.” When New Britain finally tinished the score was 57-41. Bristol came to bat again and added 52 runs more, making its total 109, while New Britain was able to get only 40 in its second in- ning. Bristol had won by 109-81 and retained intact its miraculous record. The descriptions of the plays are hard to understand today, particu- larly when terms which are now employed in baseball are used, for they referred to things entirely dif- ferent. For -instance, the most ex- citing fpcident in the game occurred on two successive triple plays which scored 9 points for New Britain. A. Dillings was the batter and made a pair of long hits, he and P. Kelly gettings the runs between them. Nheriff Cowles Was Out Another play, hard to understand today, caused Deputy Sheriff Cowles' downfall. He had played a great game and had just scored a i “star run.” He ran for and reached the opposite wicket and then turned to see where Dillings was. As he did so M. L. Peck, Bristol's wicket gilard, ticked him out with a thrown ball before he could get his bat inta position to defend the wicket, The game was followed by a banquet at the Gridley house, with speeches by Mayor Bassett, W. H. Hart, and Attorney Kirkham, among others. The New Britaln line-up com- prised C. H. Dillings, F. Wells, T. W. Knepp, J. E. Cooper, A. W. Howard, J. H. Fish, W, Judd, R. C.

A change was made in the consti- tution of the fraternity and the po- sition of grand vice superior will be changed to three vice superiors, each for a separate section of the | country.

Tully and Judge John L. Gilson speak. Cnps were awarded to the Hartford chapter for its activities. TOM MIX IS YICTOR IN GOURT'S DECISION He Is Upheld for Using Force In Fight With Actor at Party, Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 1 (P — Tom Mix, hero of many a film battle emerged victorious from municipal court here yesterday when he was found not guilty of two counts of fight between him and Will Morrissey, stage comedian. The judge before whom Mix was tried yesterday ruled that Mix had been justified in using force against Morrissey and that although he might have struck the actor's wife, Midgie Morrissey, he apparently had done s0 accidentally and without thought or malice. The court decision cleared the le- | gal docket of the last of the court affairs resulting from the fight be- tween Mix and Morrissey at a house warming party given by a friend some time ago. Five Liquor Running Motor Cars Seized 8t. Albans, Vt:. Sept. 1 UP—Five automobiles laden with liquor were seized by customs patrolmen yester- day as they were being ferried across lLake Champlain in the steamer Vermont from Plattsburg, N.. Y. The five machines and one man arrested by the officers were brought to customs headquarters here. Only one arrest was made be- | cause the drivers of the other four cars on discovering the officers did not claim their automobiles and the officers were unable to identify them among the other passengers. CONSCIENCE A NUISANCE .. Ranger, Tex.,, 8ept. 1 (UP)— Thinking officers who knocked at the door were after him, a local man attired only in his underclothes LYING WITNESSES ~ BANE OF COURTS Bat Jaiges Are Quck to ot Tmprobbl Stories [] The ends to which law violatérs are willing to go to escape punish- ment are disclosed almost daily in police court, and in a great many instances, the stories related by ac- cused persons and their witnesses leave no doubt in the minds of court officials as to the acope of the imagination displayed, sometimes without much time to prepare for cross examination. That the liquor laws and motor vehicle regulations, which furnish the bujk of the police court grist, also provide wide lati- tude for the imaginative thinkers, has ltleen frequently commented on, although there probably are cases in which honest mistakes sound considerably like exaggeration and untruthfulness, ‘Witnesses have been known to testify under oath to the speed of automobiles involved in accidents, only to be refuted point blank by two or three policemen. Likewise, alleged drunken drivers whose con- dition at the time of arrest was ch- served by several officers and pri- vate citizens, think nothing of testl- fying the next day that a single glass of beer was the extent of their alcoholic stimulant prior to the ac- cident which resulted in their ap- prehension, Unable to walk with- out assistance, some drivers have been’ heard testifying that there absolutely no cause for arresting | them, and often their) companions express indignation at the action of | the police in bringing them into court on such a serlous charge. Experienced judges and other of- ficials, however, are quick to discern the plausible from the doubtful description of events coming before them, as was demonstrated in a recent case in which violation of the liquor law was charged. There was testimony that several hundred men, women and children had as- sembled outside a store and the propritor, who was accused of vio- lating the liquor law, wanted the court to believe that he had not gone out to note the cause of the excitement. Another principal in the same case testified that he had gone into a dark alleyway to pur- chase liquor, not to sell it, and had intended to make payment “later.” Other parts of the atories related in the case did got jibe to the sat- isfaction of the ‘ourt, and grave doubt was thrown on the truth of the statements which seemed ex- traordinary to say the least. H Comparatively few instances arc on record in the local court, it is said, of malicious lying. The bulk of the false testimony has as its ob- jective the clearing of self or friend. ‘THE OLD HOME jumped out a window, ran through thorns, stopped only when peppered with birdshot and then learned he wasn't the man the officers wdnted. ‘Witnesses to strest brawis disagres %o radically at times that the oourt finds itself unable te unravel the contribute unwittingly te the con- ion, although it s the experience of judges that a person who has actually seen an occurrence and comes into court with an unbiased mind and an honest desire to relate everything that happened and noth- ing more, can usually be assisted in such a way ar to help greatly in meting out justice to all eoncerned. MISS EARHART HAS LANDING ACCIDENT Crashes At Pittsburgh-First in 10 Years - Pittsburgh, Bept. 1 UP—Amalia Earhart, first woman to cross ‘the Atlantic by air, escaped injury late yesterday when her biplane, the Avian, crashed at Rodgers Field.

Y., yesterday, was also unhurt, In coming down out o the air, to get new parts for the estimated. g i The aviatrix was quoted as ' she did- not want to contiml filght in any machine except the Avian, an English ship in Wl Lady Heath recently fiew from Eng- land to Ireland.
