Navies in South America.

The race among Chilli Brazil and
Argentina for the naval supremacy
of South America is attracting world
wide attention, and is as exciting in
its smaller way as the armament
struggle between Germany and Great
Britain. Chill was a little dilatory
in entering tina race, but is endeaV-
oring to compensate by ordering the
largest warslip, a 81 .000-ton vessel.

pride of the circuit. Norwich and the
great Dan Murphy win ever be re-
membered. to say nothing of Jack
Tighe Tuck Turner Luke Dorsey,
Gus SoffeI and other fine players who
secured two championships for Nor
wfch. Then there is New London
which could play lightning ball in tbs
days of Woodruff Rising, Mickey
Finn. Joe O'Rourke, Keane and
others, and to go still further back
to Drew and Kinney and the wonder
full Publ who was cut down i'll his
prime. In those days New London
once played a double header with
Bridgeport in two hours and half,
including the intermission of ten min
utes. The first game went one hour
and IL minutes. the second one hour
and eight minutes. Think of that
in these days when it sometimes takes
two hours and % minutes to play one
game All hands down here regretted
the passing of the two cities. Now
they cannot FORGET their former great
ness and will not go to see the smaller
league playing that has been offered
up this season, some of it mighty good

About all that remains to be done
with the Norwich baseball team of
the Connecticut baseball association
Is to seek out some nice quiet spot,
Suitably shaded by a weeping willow

The team is dead as a doornaiI and
the Connecticut association will have

the second time in two years, the Rose

that it viii not support a ball team
and by the strange irony of fate it
is Meriden in both cases that takes up
what Norwich has dropped. 1t is to be
hoped that history will not repeat itself
this time is it did in 1908, when Meri-
dent succeeded to the Norwich fran
ehise in the Connecticut state league,
but later sold out to Northampton.

treatment failed to rally the patient.
AS a last resort, George l.. MAIDEN

they would arrange to furnish the

Mr. Madden said on Friday night that
the tank had blown up. for when came

ARE soUTHPAWs PASSING?
Left Hand HeaVers Getting Scarce
Mighty Few New Ones in Sight.

Good left handed pitchers are be-
coming scarcer in major league base
ball The reason for this causes much
comment, and there is a great differ
ence of opinion on the subject.
One of the strongest contentious is
that the southpaws experience more
difficulty in mastering the spitball.
which is becoming the principal stock
in trade of many of the best Salaried
twirlers in the business.
I do not find much trouble in throw
ing the spitball." said Young Cy"
Young. one of Comiskey's promising
southpaws. but I certainly am up
against it when it comes to controlling
a wet ball. There is no denying the
fact that a spitball is a fine thing to
have when in a hole, but what man
will attempt to throw it when he is
not absolutely sure of his control
Probably the reason why left hand
ers find so much difficulty in control
ing this ball is because the majority of
the big league batters are right hand
ers. I notice when / put the spit or
copious quantity of slippery elm on
the ball get a fine break on the ball
Generally. however. the ball shoots in
ward as well as downward, and is so
close to the body legs of a right
handed hitter that it is a ball if let
go by. 7 prefer the good old curves
when I know where the ball is going
that is of course, if the batter fails to
connect"
1t is also argued that left handlers
have not the stamina of right handlers.
This is undoubtedly true, as the rec
ords show that the majority of iron
men We're and are right handlers. 1t
is said the continual throwing with the
left arm affects the system more than
does the throwing wiu4f@11ie right. be-
cause the heart is situated on the left
side of the body.
Whether or not a scientific e-.olana-
ton of this kind is true is matter of
conjecture. and there is much COM
ment to the contrary. 1t is hard
thing to get southpaw to admit thai
he cannot endure a long game al we'll
as his fellow right handlers.
Southpaw VS. are becoming fewer every
year. despite the good work Of the left
handlers now playing before the big
crowds in large cities. 1t is a well
known fact. however. that when left

is no experiment. for they usually

DEPRESSED MARKET.
Prices Left to Drift in Almost Idle
Manner.

New York, July 15.-The stock
market today displayed its narrow
limitations in every way. Dealings
were small and fluctuations narrow
The oppressive weather and the apa-
thetic interest in the dealings played
their part in the showing The rightly
of the market was due also to the OBJ
stacles which were encountered in the
course of any price movement. Buying &
orders uncovered on declines intimi-
dated the bears and their efforts to
secure stocks showed how scarce were
the offerings. Those efforts were not
pursued urgently on the advances in
prices and with the subsistence of this
demand the buying orders disappeared
and left prices to drift in an almost
idle market. Selling pressure was not
conspicuous at any level and 1t was
this fact which gave the market it's
negative strength and power of resist
ance. Last prices were not much
changed on the day
The Pennsylvania labor situation
weighed on the market, although the
effect on Pennsylvania stock itself was

of currency from the interior has been

New York banks from the drain OF
that requirement and leaving the
weeks sub treasury absorption merely
nominal. The general result promises
to be an addition of eight or ten mil
lion dollars to bank cash by tomor-
rows bank statement. The inward
movement of gold gives every indica-
ton of continuing.
Private discount rates receded again
in London today and sterling exchange
first declined and then recovered.

Walter johnson of the Washington

pitchers, according to many experts.
This is q. strong statement, but the
fact remains that if he were with De-

johnson is a wonderful pitcher and is
doing that kind of work for a losing

in the top class. Johnson was born in

tier the father expected to see the
girls come home and when none of
them came to the new home he got
worried, but did not make any inqui-
ries at Yellow Pine until a week had
gone by. Then he went to the place
and found that the birds had flown.
Friends at Yellow Pine told him that
the girls had remained there a week
and then left, saying they were 60
ing to Chicora or Stonewall, Miss,
where they could get work in the cot.
ton mills. He also received informa.
ton that the party consisted OF four
girls and four boys who left Yellow
Pine and did not hide their determi.
ration that they were going to be
married. The search which the faith.
err of the two girls and the boy at
once instituted showed that the party
are making their way on foot and are
sleeping in vacant houses during the
night.
Hutchins says that the whole af
fair was cooked UP by the young
folks and that his son Johnnie is as
much concerned as any of the rest
as he had broken up Johnpie's mar
riage plans with Agnes Hovtter. and
that this was probably the way John
ME got square. Hutchins wanted
Chief Giblin to do something in the
matter but the chief informed hin
that he was powerless, and it was not
in his jurisdiction. Hutchins said
that he would not give up but would
continue the search until he catches
up with the runaways. Chief Giblin
however, is much intel eSted ant

says he has been told that the cou
pies left Yellow Pine walking alons

and barns.
