WHAT IS GOING ON IN WESTERLY
Petition For Day and Night Patromen in Pierce Street Secton-Thomas J. Bannon Asks Town Council For Druggists Liquor Lcense-Winners of D. A. R Prizes Announced at High School

Angelo Cappuccio, while not much opposed to licensed liquor saloons, is very pessimistic as to some of the re- suits, especially in the Pierce street section, where he owns property. Be- fore a license was granted he appear ed at a meeting of the town council and declared that with the licensed sa- loon increased protection was an absO- Iute necessity in that section, but no action was taken. MT. Cappuccio made another try along the same lines at the special meeting of the town coun- Cil, Wednesday evening, this time be- ing backed by a petition which he had circulated and secured 02 signatures.
 He not only insisted that there was need for a policeman for day duty, but another for night service, and he sug- Eested the names of men he considered fitted for the place.
 The councilmen gave MT. Cappuc- eio the attention due respectable tax payer and then referred the petition, and all matters pertaining thereto. to the police committee.
 Supported by a petition signed by all the Westerly physicians and many other citizens. Thomas J. Ramon re- newed his efforts to obtain a drug Rists license at the special meeting Of the town council Wednesday evening. Ii was conceded by all members that kr. Bannon's was a legitimate drug store where prescription work Tas main feature and, under ordinary cir sumstances, was among the first that should be granted license. But there is a case pending against him in the supreme court for violation of the li- quor law, which is almost equivalent to conviction, and the council decided to continue the application for fur ther consideration.
 Should the present court case be set tied, or assurance given from the at terney generals office that the grant ing of a druggists liquor license to Mir. Bannon would not in any way compromise the case, a license would be granted by the town council.
 But fer the timely discovery by Ed win Q. Hawkes. and the prompt and energetic work of Policeman Edward West Constable John Reardon and Dwight Rogers, there would probably have been a dise estrous fire in High street, Wednesday night Mir. Hawkes. in passing the property sold by the estate of William Hoxsey to Dr. Will iam D. CIitcherson, noticed a light in the new garage and detected @ strong smell of what he believed to be burn ing wood. He at once notified Senator Louis ". Arnold who occupies the ad- Soining property. and at his sugges- ton Mir. Hawkes. hurried for assist Bnce, returning with MessTs. West Reardon and Rogers. They forced open the door and found the place to be on the verge of burning and by prompt work prevented a fire that might have been serious. as the wind was blowing almost a gale.

BONE-HEAD PLAYS
MAKE CLUBS WIN

There are bali clubs which never
pull on plays OF the bonehead type
during their offensive play. One Ma
tional league club that visits Cincin-
natl never makes bonehead play.
and It never tries TO take the enemy
nnawares. II plays straight baseball
all the time, and finds II necessary 70
win practically all OF its games
through sheer hitting ability.
"A ball club that never takes
chances will never amount 10 much.
When a team goes along day after
day doing the same old thing, the de-
fensive work OF the opposing team
soon becomes pie. The players always
know what Is coming of. and are new
or worried In the least Clubs that
fail to take chances lose many games
by one run, which they could win by
pulling OF the unexpected once In q
while.
"Of course. club that takes
chances is bound to be pulled UP &C.
casionally. but II Is better to lose
game by taking a chance that goes
wrong than TO stand idly by and try
10 hammer the life out OF a pitcher
who happens to be unhittable that
day, and lose because nothing daring
Is attempted.
Keep your eye on the records OF
ball clubs and see II most of the plays
classed as ivory dome stunts are not
pulled of by winning ball clubs. and
then take look at the losing clubs
and see II they are not the ones which
never attempt TO do anything start

CINCINNATI, Sept. Sits the
baseball club that Is always going at

and is foiled, Cobb is probably sent
TO the bench more frequently than
any other player in the business, be-
cause he runs wild on the bases and
loses out because players on the op-
posing team weigh In with perfect
fielding performances at the right
time Cobb is one OF the country's
greatest players because he takes
those chances. He generally takes
them when his team is most In the
need OF runs. II he succeeds his club
wins, and II he fails 1t is almost an
even bet that his club would have

This human hinge Is Fred Hunter,
the first baseman for whom Pittsburg
has traded six players and paid sum
of money 10 the management of the
Kansas City team. He doesn't seem
to be- swelled over the fact that he is

You would scarcely classify Hunter
as a springer. He Is only twenty-four,
but has been playing the game about

has been marked with ups and downs
enough to satisfy even an elevator
operator.
Hunter Joined Kansas City last fall

Onslow Ia a young fellow, about 20

HOW MACk'S
QUARTET HAS
WON GAMES

Jack" Atkins, the Southern league
left-hander, who came to the Athletics
this spring from Atlanta, has been a
victim of circumstances this season.
Because OF the great performances or
the veteran pitchers. Atkins services
have not been much In demand. He
has given plenty Of promise Of max
ing good, however. and appears to be
the logical successor to Eddie Plank
when Eddie's good left arm finally
goes back ON the veteran.
The hitting OF some Of Mack's pitch
ers has played conspicuous part in
the Athletics performances this sea-
son, also Bender is sticking for .292 at
present and three times he has hop
ped into the 300 class. Krause. al
though he has worked In only IL
games, has helped matters consider

Jack Coombs Is sticking for .216, q
very fair average for pitcher.

not seem 10 have had the usual effect
on it's playing. AS a rule once team

ball, and this Is particularly true

pennants and the like But under

WAR TALK
VERY IDLE

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-If ID. A.
Fletcher, OF Cincinnati, expected TO
cause q sensation by his statement
that he intended organizing a third
major league to fight the National
and American: that he had $4,000, 900
already subscribed for the venture
and that he would put a team In New
York city, he failed dismally as
far as this city Is concerned.
Officials OF the three New York mai
or league teams only smiled today
when told OF Fletcher's threat. and
indicated that what the Cincinnati
nemesis did not know about baseball
would make an admirable baseball
guide. -
Fletcher's grievance arises from the
national commissions refusal to sane
ton the post-season tour, under
Fletcher's management, OF all-star
American and National league play
