Arms and the Wcnaan,

Did anybody ever sec q onc ara4ea woman?' asked a gray headed man as he surveyed the afternoon parade. "I never did. Almost every day meet one armed men, but have yet to en- counter woman with that ptifully empty sleeve. Are there no women who have suffered that mntila ion If not. why not: And, If so, where are they?
 Yesterday heard 1t argued that there was no cause for woman to lose an arm; that women do not go to fhe Wars ard are not engaged in occu- pa'ions that are likely to carry away q part of shelf hody. But that req sontns is not sound. Many women work in mills and factories. and they are as liable Tu accidents in the streets and public conveyances as men. Ere Guently they figure in these accidents but. although nen in the same situa. ton would jose SD arm, women never do.

WEST ENDS BLUFF CALLED.
WiIlimantic Team Gets Cold Feet When C. A. C. juniors Want to Play.

Those Wllimantic West Ends who recently inserted challenge to the C. A. C. Juniors to play for $25 and incidentally threw a lot of mud at Luke Riley as an umpire. have been shown to be nothing but a big bluff. As the West Ends were making a hol- Ter about being beaten by the umpire, the Juniors produced the coin to meet them with the same teams but the West Ends wanted none of that game. A representative from the Juniors vis- ited them in Willlmantic, but they wouldn't agree to either Saturday or Sunday game down here. and also wanted to put a new team in and play at Willimantic. They also got cold feet about risking the S25 on the result as their proposition was to play for half the gate receipts. There will be nothing doing apparently, as the West Ends have crawled into their cyclone cellar and will probably stay there until the stc/n blows over.
 The C. A. C. Juniors have game in Hanover this afternoon and will pre- sent the following lineup. Bnos D. Kane C, Wicks 1b, Simcox 2b. Nichols ss, Murphy 3b. Calkins lf Counihan cf Carberry If
 Sunday they win go 10 Fort Wright where they will have their regular lat teries and lineup for the second game of the series.

LOCAL BASEBALL SEASON
 NEARING THE Cl OSE
Eastern Connecticut League Ends To- day-Westerly Here Vs. C. A. c. at Sachem Park.

At Sschem park this afternoon the Norwich C. A. C. team has chance to trim the leaders in the Rhode Isl- and Connecticut league meeting West erly, which is tied at present with Stonington for first place. That West erly will be no easy victim goes with- out saying, but Manager Frank Kane will put his team on the field with in strLctions to scalp the visitors without mercy as a game from the leaders will come in very handy to add to inc standing of the c. A. C.s Phillips will do the twirling for the home team with young Walsh at tine receiving end giving the Norwich public their first chance to see this promising catcher, who has made good wherever he has worked this season and has a whip that heads them off at second in star form. There will be a navy man on first. Grafton. formerly of the ball team of the battleship St Louis, one of the around the world squadron.
 Reed is assigned to umpire the game and the Westerly team will be picked from the following: Chase. Lauser. Miller. Bryer, Payne. Payne. Lynch, Sullivan. Moves. Bentley Giennon.
 All that Jewett City has to- do this afternoon to cop the bunting in the Eastern Connecticut league is to beat the Andems at North GrosYenordale. as this is the final day of the season. There is a possible chance Of a tie and a post season series to decide the ownership, if Jewett City should lose and Putnam. second in the race, win from Wauregan. Needless to say Jewett City has no intention Of giving Putnam a lookin for the rag. and is counting on winning the game at Nortf | Grosvenordale and owning the key tC the borough if they come back to Jew | ett City champions tonight.

LILLIAN WINNER IN STRAIGHT HEATS
Boston Bred Gedins Evens Score with Hamburg Belle Detroit and Cleveland Clinch to Draw-Athletics Win-Westerly at Sachem Park This Afternoon.

Jared his antagonist when inside the distance.
 Here Andrews was successful for a number of yards in holding his own but soon after it was perceptible to the spectators that Hamburg Belle was weakening under the strain. Cheering began all along the quarter stretch for the conquering equine which then came away and was good length in front at the wire
 Endurance Counted for the Victory.
 The fractional parts of the heat il- lustrated the method Andrews used in trying to escape >,feat. The quar- ter was passed in 3I; the half in l.0l IA, three quarter in 1.32 and the mile in 2.03 1-3. The final quarter was others which was due to Hamburg Belle having been raced into submis- sion the latter part of the journey.
 In deciding the relative merits of the two fastest racing trotters the world has ever seen, the score stands one each, with a third meeting neces- sary to establish the champions. It has been suggested that this race take place at Lexington, ky, at the fall meeting in October, but there is noth- ing in the articles of agreement to that effect. It is known that Colum- bus wants the race badly at it's Grand Circuit meeting and it may be decided to break the tie at that place.
 Trotter Had to Be Shot.
 Prince Lavalard, 2.11 3-4, when making a good race for the lead al the quarter pole, three quarters of the distance, the event called for, tripped and broke his hind leg above the ankle policeman ended his suffering with a mercicul bullet. The horse was ls years old, but had been campaigned since young over all the tracks in the country and was known as one of the very gamest trotters that ever wore a harness. He was owned by $.

Tiohe After Another Pennant.

A well known local admirer of Jack Tighe has had a letter from the "big fellow" now manager of the Rock Island tea min the Three I league, in which. Jack says that he is in line for another pennant and none of them can beat him to it this year. The season ends Sept. 12th and Rock Island has a standing of T games won. 40 lost, average $40. Spring cid, second in the race, has won 62, lost 45, average 579.
 Jacks success in annexing the prize banners will only have to continue a year or two longer to give him enough to paper room with them.

Readville, Mass, Sept 3.-0ver a track fully two seconds slower than when the great Lou Dillon startled the world with a mile in two minutes thereon, the trotting gelding Uhlan to- day defeated Hamburg Belle in straight heats at the Readville track in the second meeting of the pair to de- eide the trotting championship of the world. As Uhlan is a locally owned and bred horse the victory was de- cidedly popular, the crowd of ten thousand cheering vociferously at the conclusion of each of the heats and also when the victor returned to the wire for Driver Robert Proctor to weigh in.
 Hamburg Belle the Favorite.
 Hamburg Belle was favorite before the start at odds of , to 3, because of her success last week in the initial meeting of the cracks at Cleveland, when she earned the worlds record of POI 1-4 for trotters in a race, two seconds peter than the previous mark thas has stood since the Cresceus-the Abbott race at Brighton Beach in 1903.
 The Mare Gets the Pole. In drawing for position today Billy Andrews secured the pole. This was rather dishartening to those follow ing Uhlan for the general verdict had been that had the gelding been at the pole at Cleveland he must have won in the record time.
 On the second score Walker sent them away to a fine start. Immedi- ately Andrews opened gap of a length. maintaining this advantage clear to the three-quarter pole when it was seen Proctor was driving for the first time in earnest in attempting to catch the leader.
 UhIan Closes Up in the Stretch. Rapidly he closed on the mare until at the head of the home stretch he had her lapped, his head being at her saddle. Andrews apparently had con- fidenoe in the finishing ability of Hamburg Belle and never made a move until he saw Uhlan had got to her neck. Then, thirty yards from the wire, he tapped the trotting queen a couple of times but she failed to re- spond and Uhlan quickly went into the lead, winning by two lengths.
 The fractional parts of the mile were 31 3-4, 1.G2 3-4, 1.S3 IA and 2.O4 3-4 for fhe mile.
 Second Heat a Hot Fight. After a couple of warming up scores for the second heat the contestants turned for the word and got in the first time down. With the pole, the packers and admirers of the Boston representative had concluded it a big help, but just before reaching the quarter pole, Andrews sprang a big surprise by fairly jumping Hamburg | Belle so fast that it appeared from the grandstand as if Uhlan had met with an accident and been forced to stop stockstill. sIt was wonderful burst ! of speed. considering too that the quarter was reached in 31 seconds 1 From this point Uhlan was laid in I about the same position bac kof the [ leader as the previous heat, and Proc I tor too, made his drive in the lower | turn at exactly the same place be- l fore.
