thence as a pitcher and has been seen in action on southern league d1as-- Inonds. Egan Is a native of Prov1- dence. When Egan developed a sore arm he retired from the pitching mound and became an umpire: The season of 1902 was rather a strenu- ous one for Egan, as the Eastern lea que race was very close that season and the players were allowed to pull
 off stuff which would at the present time result in a penalty or banishment for life.
 Egan was easily the most efficient official of President Powers staff, and he would be assigned to all the tough series. Although Jack made a splendid umpire, he had become dis gusted with the job, and when tsMikev Finn suggested to Egan that a sea son in the south would do his arm great deal of good and perhaps re- store it's former feasibility, Egan thought so well of the idea that he immediately signed to pitch for Finn's Little Rock team in 1903. The eli mate did benefit his arm, and he help ed pitch Finnss club into second place, being nosed out by the Memphis club.
 Egan was one of the most effective twirIers in the league, winning almost tWo-tfairds of his games. Egan, realiz- ing that his pitching days were about at an end, again took up the referee ing end of the gafnea He is thor oughly fearless and has stood the gaff on occasions when affairs were about as calm and placid as the Whirlpool rapids.
 Other than ..Jacl'' Egan. the only two familiar faces to Southern lea que fans of the entire two umpire staffs of the major leagues are Mar Eason and 'tBilP Byron. t'Ga1' Eason was one of the unpires in the Cleve- land Pittsburgh series, and has seen service insthe Southern but not as player. Nal Eason .sarrived'' quick Iy in the baseball business. He was one of the best pitchers in the old Eastern league in 1904, winning all most three-fourths of his games for the Jersey City tea m His splendid tWirIing resulted in his graduation to the National league, Brooklyn secur- ing him. He pitched, several seasons in the National league, and after Ieav- ing that organization he made his de- but as a manager. His first season as a team pilot was one of irnmedi- ate success-his Lawrence club fin fshing second in the New England lea gue race. The next season he found the taskaof handling tail-end ball club so disagreeable that when Pres ident Kavanaugh offered him a posi- ton on his umpire staff .fN1aP' grab bed the opportunity His work was satisfactory to both fans and play CTS, with the result that the National league offered him a contract.

MIR. INGERSOId5 TO ADDRESS BUSINESS
 ATRN,s ASSOCIATION

The man behind the watch that made the dollar famous is to address the Bridgeport Business Mems As- sociation at their regular monthly meeting Tuesday, Nov. 11th in the Newfield building. The simple an- nouncement that the man who has compelled the whole world to recog- nize the value of his goods through advertising should be enough to pack the rooms of the Business Mems As- sociation.
 It may be of interest to the people of Bridgeport to know that MT. In- gerson was a trem endous factor i1 the Fusion campaign against Tam many in New York City. He had en- tire charge of the canvass addresaed to those who speak a foreign tongue. This element is now so large a part of the population of New York City that this campaign was unique in the way the matter was brought to their attention.

suggestive mind were recognized by the

one of the great causes of the significant
progress and permanent success of the

The Morrisville News and Citi-
zen says that road commissioners
should see to it that the roads are
made sufficiently wide for auto
mobiles to pass each other in
safety. This is true of back roads
as well as state roads. No road
is free from autos and it is only
the part of common sense to shape
our road policy to this condition.
AS many roads throughout the
state are not wide enough for two
teams to pass, it is needless to
say that automobiles are a danger
to themselves and all other tray
elers on such roads. 1t takes a
serious accident oftentimes before
the change is made. Meanwhile
automobiles should run slowly
when such a narrow, winding road
is found.

are probably getting, they will be
prone to think that education
may be all right for culture but
not much on the money end. The
great fact they have overlooked
is that business requires its special
education, too, and that the other
kinds of education will not be-

the business; that plus the academic
