There's not much talk nowadays of
 the New London Ship ard Engine
 company, located in Groton, on the
 site of the late lamented Eastern
 Shipbuilding company that did so much for New London while the big
 plant was in operation. Neither are representatives of the industry new to
 New London airing their business to
 the public, but just the same there are things doing at that busy plant
 ard in order to keep up with demands It is necessary to have continuous op-
 eratlon with night and Gay shifts of
 skilled mechanics and with tlV avs .a
 place for tnachinists of the highest
 grade. Just at the present time the
 work Is in the main confined to ma
 chine work fer submarine boats, which
 calls for the best there is in that line
 Of work. This work when completed
 and ready for installation is shipped to
 the places where the steel hulls of the
 hoats are being constructed. although
 the concern of which the New London
 has the contract for the complete
 boats
 It will be noticed that the shops and
 the office building of the local com
 pany are located to the southward of
 where the big machine shop of the
 Eastern Shipbui1ding company was located. It is said that this was done to better allow for the expansion of
 the plant, which in time will occupy all the tTact up to and beyond the old railroad ferry slip, some of the
 spiles of which are still standing as a reminder of the days before the Thames river bridge. and when rail road trains, excepting locomotives, were ferIied across the river. The time is not so very far away when submarine beat boats and perhaps tor
 pedo boat destroyers and similar gov
 ernment craft will be built complete at the plant of the New England Ship and Engine company.
 There is no better location on the entire cesat for ship building purposes, as it has in addition to direct railroad facilities a water frontage with depth sufficient to float a ship of double the size of any ship ever built Directly opposite the plant and near the shore there is a depth of ninety feet of wa ter, but not so deep as that in the immediate approach. but still deep enough to accommodate any vessel now in existence. It was here where the big steamships Minnesota and Ds- kota were built and launched and fit ted complete for the transcontinental trade. A location fitted for such achievement is lucky find for the busy and progressive New London Ship and Engine company.

CORNELL DEFEAT

The defeat of Cornell by Penn State.

Michigan made against the Michigan
Aggies. football team of undeveloped
strength, were the features of Satur-
days gridiron struggles.
AS Cornelrs defeat was due to a
blocked punt, something which may oc-
cur at any time in a football contest,
followers of the gridiron game should
not belittle the Ithacans' strength.
Penn State Is powerful team, one
that is certain to give it's future oppo-
nents close and stubbornly fought con-
tests Cornell was in a crippled condi-
ton when it met defeat, and the Itha-
cans surely will be in better shape
when they meet Chicago and Michigan
later in the season.
All doubts as to Michigan having a
strong eleven should be cast aside
when its game with the Michigan Ag-
gies is considered. The Wolverines op-
ponents were formidable foe, who
fought Yosts team for every foot Be-
cause of the fact that there were on
lockers from Cornell and Pennsylvania
present Yost did not want to show any
of his favorite plays. and 1t was for
this reason that the wolverines did not
run up larger score.

the utmost confidence in Yost's ability
to develop a team which will defeat
Cornell, Pennsylvania. Syracuse and
Vanderbilt in the most important in
tersectional contests to be played this
year. Yost has the nucleus for a strong
eleven, and with the grooming which
the men are bound to receive, Michi-
gan should be represented by another
of its formidable teams.

MATHEWSON'S
SYSTEM.
Take full nine hours Of sleep.

Take full nine hours Of sleep.
Never allow anything to worry
you.
Take a workout of forty five
minutes every morning.
Try out every curve until they
are under perfect control and then
test your speed
Take a thorough rundown and
massage after each workout to pre-
vent muscles from getting stiff.
Don't imagine that everything de-
ponds upon the pitcher. The batters
and base runners win the games.
Never give a snap hitter a fast
ball over the heart of the plate.
When batter "chokes" his bat
pitch him a curve or keep the fast
ones on the corner away from him.
If batter stands in the far cor
ner of the box and catches his bat
on the small end for a big swing.
pitch him all the speed at your COM
mand.
Most of the long swingers strike
at fast ball after 1t is too late.
At the Polo grounds a left-handed
batter should never be given a ball
on the inside corner, or he is liable
to hit it over the short right field
wall
When a batter crowds the plate
force him away by pitching the ball
close to his head.

weight team of the Hammond high
school showed the ST. Joseph county
boys they were game and had they
braced up in the earlier part of the
game the score might have been differ

The local high school appeared like
midgets when they lined up against the
sturdy South Bend warriors. who used
line bucks. forward passes and end
runs at will.
Although the field was muddy and
water stood in places three or four
inches deep no accidents took place to
mar the game. Hammond could not
hold onto the ball and time and time
again the ball slipped out of their
hands and was recovered by the South
Bend team.

South Bend pushed and plunged

DUFFY SEES WIN
TODAY; CHANCE
PRAISES WHITE
BY Hugh Duffy.


We have now made 1t three
straight md quite naturally L am
looking for the fourth without
skip. In one way the Cubs didn't
have a chance I'm the world to beat
yesterday for believe that
White would have beaten any team
in the world. ] have seen Doc pitch
many n game and L have seen many
another pitcher work, hut L think
that White not surpassed nlone
himself, but that he also equalled
the greatest. We still have one
more game to win, and I haven't the
slightest doubt that we'll have to
fight for 1t as we have for the 9TH
crs, but i do think that wen be city
champions tonight.
by Frank Chance.
It's tough that we should have lost
the third straight, but I'D really like
to see the team that could have
beaten Doc White the way he was
going. He pitched one of those
games that would have held the hest
of them safe and we were unIucky
enough to run up against that kind
of twirlfng mt critical stage in the
conflict. i confess that three games
In n tremendous handicap to over
come. but baseball Is n funny game
and there Is nothing I'm the world
which may deny the possibility
Of taking the next four in n row.
However, we are thinking of them
only one at a time and intend to put
up the same fierce fight in the game
today as we have In the three.
