No Answer to Challenge ‘The management of the Kensing- ton Triangles baseball team is h; ing some difficulty in completing ar- rangements with the West Ends, winner in the city league series, for a game or a series of games. The Triangles had an informal under- standing last week with the mana- gers of hoth the West Ends and the Pirates that the local team was to have a chance to play the winner. Now it seems that “difficulties” are being magnified in an effort to side step the game. The Triangles issued the challenge in good faith and un- less the winners are willing to play, the local team can draw only one conclusion, namely, that the champs of the city league do not care to take the chance of losing prestige by a possible defeat at the hands of the Kensington team. The management of the Triangles wishes to announce that no games will be played in Kensington Satur- day on account of the dedication exercises in New Britain. An effort will be made to arrange a game out of town. Final notice will appear in Friday's paper. Grange Reception A large crowd attended the recep- tion given last evening by the Ber- lin Grange at its hall on Farming- ton avenue in honor of the school teachers of the town and the visit- ing nurse. Practically every teacher in the local schools was present. Dr. M. H. Griswold gave a talk on the work of the visiting nurse and the schools. shments were served. Fincd For Drunkenness At the session of the Berlin town court held last evening, Joseph Neu- bauer of New Britain was fined $10 and costs for drunkenness. Neubauer accompanied Louis Squillicote of New Britain Batrday evening when the latter struck a car and drove off without stopping. Squillicotte was later shot by Constable Kanupka after a rough and tumble fight. Neu- bauer was originally charged with breach of peace and drunkenness. sSample Ballots Here Town Clerk A thur L. Woodruft ha; received a number of sample Lallots that will be usc. in the com- ing town election.

Legion to Parade Large numbers of Brock-Barnes post, American Legion, will take part in the dedication parade in New Britain Saturday. The post made final plans it its meeting Monday night. Although the dedication of the World War memorial is New Britain celebration, Plainville feels that it also will share in it be- cause of the fact that three of the boys who went out of this town and mever came home, were members of Co. L 102nd Inf., which was one of the two National Guard companies stationed in New Britain. The three were Krancis Barnes, after whom the local Legion post has been partly named; Earl Made- ley and Leon Roberts. Barnes paid the supreme sacrifice in the battle of Scicheprey on April 20, 1918, the first pitched battle between Ameri- can and German troops. Madeley was mortally wounded in the first charge of the 26th Division out of the town of Bouresches and Belleau Woods where the marines fought so magnificently. This sector was tak- en over from the Second Division by the New England troops and on July 1§ the counter-attack that eventual- ly caused Gern 's defeat, was launched. Madeley died the next day in a hospital. Roberts, after go- through the entire war un- scathed, died of sickness brought on by poisoned water he had partaken of in the front lines. Because of this fact, the ex-serv- icemen of Plainville, all members of the Brock-Barnes post, feel that the dedication of the monument in New Britain is also a Plainville affair. Saturday, New Britain will be hon- oring its war dead and among these are many of the boys with whom the three Plainville boys served. Bud- dies in time of war, though dead, they are stjll the buddies of the New Britain boys who also rest be- neath the poppy fields in France and in that way, Plainville has an excel- lent chance to honor them through the celebration to be staged in the neighboring city. Eutertain Mothers The Girls' Friendly society held an enjoyable party for their moth- ers at the home of Mrs. Charles Curtis. There were 23 children and 10 mothers present besides Mrs. Al- fred Weaver of Hartford. The next meeting will be held Friday after- noon at 3 o'clock at the parish house of the Church of Our Saviour. Church Supper A public supper will be held Fri- day evening from 6:30 to 8 o'clock at the Baptist church under the auspices of the Ladles' Aid society. A menu consisting of baked ham, mashed potatoes, scalloped corn, pickles, coffee, rolls and pie, will be served. The committee in charge consists of Mri James Webster, E. Fennell, Mrs. A. J. Mills Irving T. Tyler. Takes Up Aviation Stanley 8. S8mith is the latest con- vert to the cause of Flainville. This became known re- cently through an investigation con- ducted after neighbors in his vicin- ity complained about the unneces- sary noises emanating from his cel- lar. Taking it upon themselves to in- vestigate, they found him burning the midnight oil in testing out the machine. Then the story was out. Having taken a course im aviation through a correspondence school, Stanley developed the idea that he would like to emulate the great Lindbergh. Acting upon this sub- lime impulse, he started to design & plane. His efforts proved to be so auccessful and he became so en- grossed in his work that he total- ly forget that another problem re- sented itsclf, and that was, getting the machine out of the cellar after it was built. Mr. §mith admitted to an inter- viewed today that he was planning on his first flight soon. He expeets to make a perilous journey from Flainville to Hartford. Naming the staff connected with the trip over the frozen wastes and the unchart- ed ether betwen here and Hartford, he said that Marty Stevenson would be pilot und gadio man; “Butch” Meyerowitz would be chef and diet expert while Ralph Thrall would be financial backer and a probable fourth member of the party. Several names have been offered and the title of the Spirit of Plain- ville is favored. Many, however, think that the appropriate name for the machine should be the “Mutual Mortgage” plane because it is anticipated that a number of liens may be placed on it before the flight is made. Mr. Smith be- longs to a little coterie of aviation pioneers in Plainville who are pro- gressive enough to attempt to frr- ther the great cause along. Revival Mceting The Redeemer's A. M. E. Zion church is in the midst of the great- est revival meeting in the history of the church. It started Tuesday morning with & responsive and ap- preciative audience. It is being conducted by Rev. Dr. H. M. Reed. A. M., of Cambridge, Mass. He told the pastor. Rev. A. A.

Charles Richards, 24, and Kay- mond Oliver, 33, both Bristol youths, pleaded guilty to & charge of high- way robbery when presented before Judge Allyi L. Lrown in the su- perior court at Huriford yesterday. Richards, who was termed the mas- ter mind, was scntenced to state prison to from (hice to five years, while Oliver wus given a year in the Hartford county juil. ! The twa men. who are brother- ' in-laws, Oliver having married a sister of Richards, at 3 o'clock on the morning of Junc 3oth held up John Haskell on Terryville avenue, as he was on his way home from work at the forge plant of the New Departure Manufacturing company. | They relieved their victim of $25, which he had just received in wages. Although both men wore handker- chiefs over their faces, Oliver made the mistake of talking and his voice was recognized by Haskell who had met him on one occasion in the local recruiting office. Haskell immedi- ately reported the matter to police headquarters and Detective Sergeant Daniel McGillicuddy was called from his home to handle the case. Early |the same morning the detective, to- gether with several officers, visited the place where Richards and Oliver were boarding and found both the men in bed. When questioned they denied that they had heen out that night. The fact that it had been raining during the early morning hours. however, and also that the clothing of both men was found to be wet proved their story false. A further search of the room reveated the $25. which had been hidden un- der & bath tub in the room. | Teh two men were bronght to headquarters where they were ques- tioned ond finally admitted guilt. Toth denind using a rev as claimed by kell and weapon was never located. Other Pristol Cases Two other Bristol cases were put to plea before Judge Brown yester- Joseph Chaponis, 65, and his wife, Frances, 39, charged with keeping a disorderly house, bhoth pleaded not guilty through their lawyer, Anthony J. Rich of this city. 1t is understood that the complain- ant in the case, who caused the arrest of the couple in this city, has disappeared and his present where- abouts is unknown, Steve Poloski, 24, charged with theft of an automobile, pleaded guilty but imposition of msentence was deferred, Poloski has rather a checkered career. He came to this city at the age of four years und when he was fourteen, his father died. Since that time-he has wandered about the country and several years ago spent a year in a reform school in | Maine for theft of an automobile. | He was arrested by the local police | about a month ago as he was leav- ing the state's prison at Hartford | after having served eighteen months for the theft of a car in Bridgeport. During his incarceration, he inter- ested himself in music and is now an accomplished musician, The immigration authorities at Washington some time ago issued & warrant for Poloski with the inten- tion of deporting him as an ha- bitual criminal. Whether such ac- tion will be taken at this time fs unknown, although Poloski claims that he knows no one in his native land and can hardly speak the lan- guage. | their | | olver | the ! | | Complaius of Dog Mrs. Porfi Slarankeiwicz of 24 River street, East Bristol, complain- cd to the police department Tuesday afternoon that a number of her chickens had been killed by a dog. 8he turned over to the police a li- cense tag which, she alleges, was found in the wire surrounding her chicken yard. The complaint. to- gether with the tag, was turned over to Dog Warden Thomas Ryan, who stated this morning that the tag longed to a dog owned by Roy G. Beach of 108 New strcet, Last Bris- tol. An investigation was made last evening by Mr. Liyun., who visited the Slarankeiwicz home. He stated, however. that there were no dead chickens, or at lcast mone which the complainant could show him and for that rcason no action was necessitated. A number of the residents in the River street scction, Wl keep chickens, have placed their dog houses inside the chicken yards and tied the animals there to protect the feathered flock from nocturnal marauders, both two-legged and quadrupeds. This plan has worked out satisfactorily and chicken losses in that immediate vicinity are few. Short Council Nessbon The city council last night es- tablished a record for short sessions e 9 when it concluded its last Hem cf busin-ax 16 minutes after the Mmedt- ing opencd.
