AIDES THANKSGIVING
FAITH.

Here is a story apropos Of
Thanksgiving for which George :
AIDE, the humorlst, is directly re-
sponsible.
''The only time I ever believed ,
in the transmigration Of souls
was one frosty November after
noon on my Indiana farm" he
. said to some friends not long ago.
1T was a day or two before
Thanksgiving. The trees were
bare. The fields were a russet
brown color. Toward me over
. those russet fields strutted very
|. plump. very large, very young
turkey.
! "Then 1t was that an ardent
bellef in the doctrine Of metemp-
/ sychosis seized me.
"'You,' | said to the superb
/ bird-'you are now turkey. And
you will die tomorrow. But
/ cheer up. Your next transmit
grafton will be into the body Of
/ humorlst not unknown to fame"

 When the baseball week ended on Saturday night the Athletics had just scored their 18th consecutive victory and were "cantering under wraps" to use turf expression. At this stage of the race the Athletics appear to have everything that goes to make a win ming team. Youngsters and veterans alike are playing in perfect form and the fighting spirit is flashed in rallies that wrest victory from apparent de- feat. All opposing teams look alike to the Athletics, and it will require a, con certed attack to check their winning play.
 The other clubs apparently realize this, for they are making desperai e efforts to strengthen their weak spots.

 In the meantime the Athletics are we'll out in the lead with Cleveland following as first substitute in the same role.

The Norwich Free Academy baseball team met bitter defeat at the hands of the Bulkeley High school aggregation of ball tosSers at New London Satur- day afternoon in a game which was called at the close of the fifth inning on account of the rain with the score to for the home team. In the morn ing the N. F. A. second team won from the Orange and Black scrubs
 The supporters of the Red and White accompanied the team in considerable number and the enthusiastic roofing from the grandstand and bleacheTs was of undoubted assistance to the players. This advantage, however, was offset by an equally enthusiastic as semblage of fans loyal to the cause of the Black and Orange. Saturdays de feat shrouds the N. F. A. walls in gloom, frightened only by strong hope for victory when the two teams clash again next Saturday on the local dia- mond. Bitter rivalry stands between the two schools and the Bulkeley game is regarded by the Academy students as of rather more moment than all the rest of the seasons schedule.
 In Saturdays game there was little choice between the teams. with nice fielding and good tWirling on each side Hits off both English and PerWeIE were scarce, but Englishs wildness led to his own downfall In the five in ningS he contributed five free trips to the get away sack and in the very first session forced in the only tally of the game.
 Baxter, the Iead-off man for Bulke ley. profited by JimmieS WiIdness and walked to first. Keefe received one of James inshoots in the ribs and was as sisted to the initial station, Baxter ad- vancing to second. Lawrence singled, filling the sacks, with none down. Eli liott caught Perwein's foul fly. English served Foley four wide ones, forcing Baxter across the rubber. Mccarthy fouled out to Lord and McQuarrie hit a grounder to Stanley and was out at first Twice the visitors got men as far as third, but each time the needed hit was not forthcoming.
