Two of the best basketball games
of the season were played last oven-
ing in the Nor-walk armory. before an
unsuaily large number of the sport-
loving fsns. What is thought by many
to be the record game to be played
in Norwaik. took place between the
High school teams of last year and
this season.
While both were good games. there
is no doubt but what the preliminary
game was the chief attraction. Last
year the‘ngh school team. under their
ancient coach. Frank Coda-av. played
a remarkably fast schedule and lost
but a. single game and this out of
town. The boys on the team were
great favorites with all who attended
the game and in time the first game
became as interesting as the his team.
While the present team is not very
far along with this season's work.
they are doing wonderfully well and
have not lost some as yet. Nearly
all of the of are on the team are
new men. ireland being the only reg.
ular of last season. while Costello
played as' substitute with the past
year's quintet.
The first game opened fast. The
present team of the school was the
first to score and their supporters
were wild with excitement. They did
not stop with the first goal, but piled
them right up until eight points were
to their credit. Then 1909-10 got busy
and scored a few. The game at once
began to be interesting and the
crowds in the different parts of the
hall did not hesitate to show their
breference and root for their favor-
ites. The first half closed with the
score 15-11 in favor of this year's
team.
The second half proved faster than
the first by a good deal. Both sides
entered game. the old team determ-
ined to will and the present team our.
loss to leave the floor with the lan-
i rats.
The second half was well played
ind fast until about five minutes be-
fore the time was up. it then took a
new life and there was great work
by the players of both sides; The
team of 191041 ran up their score
0 25 points and then waited to see
what their opponents would do. They
roon found out. and the result was
that when the bell rang for the end
of tabs game. the two teams were tied

In the annals of baskedbai. There
have often been cases where the same
thing happened. but very few that took
our dve minutes extra to decide. The
teams took the floor for the first over-
time and each scored a basket. The

other five lnutes were given and

One of the stories that was going
the political rounds today was that the
high sheriffs of the several counties
are to appeal to the next. legislature to
give iuem authority to increase the
number of their deputies. it is said
they believe that with the increase of
the population of the state there
should be an increase in the number
of the donation. as the work has
grown in volume. requiring the in-
crease.
In other quarters.there are some
who say that more deputies are not
needed anywhere.
There is a suspicion that the dep-
uties who do civil business with the
lawyers are inclined to think that
there are officers enough already.
Competition may be the life of trade
in some channels, but there is liable
to be a dearth of prosperity where too
many deputies follow each d'thers
trail into the lawyers' offices.
The present law in relation to the
number of deputies allowed in each
county was passed in 1899. The chap-
ter of the statute says there shall be
not more than 24 deputies in Hart-
ford county 24 in New Hal/en county.
16 in New landon county, 20 in Fair-
fleld county. ill in Windham county.
20 in Litchfield county. 11 in Middle-
sex county, 10 in Tolland county.
New Haven county is shy on the
basis of population. in the number of
its departing sheriffs.
One phase of the story—nbut who
can possibly believe it true? is that
some of the sheriffs in some parts of
the state want an increase of deputies
so as to better manage to cancel po-
litical debts.
