The Shore Line Bowling league, com posed of teams from Westerly, Pawca- tuck, Stonington and Mystic finished it's schedule of 36 games on Thursday evening, with games in Mystic and Stonington. The contest was close from beginning to end, as is shown by the final result. The Arion club of Ston- ington winning by narrow margin of IA pins for the entire seasons rolling. Up to the last nights bowling the Ston- ington club held 8 lead of 104 pins, but the Pawcatucks came in strong at the end and just missed nosing out a victory. Stonington's. total pinfall is 2S, 241. and Rawcatucks 28,227. ( While the Stonington and Pawcatuck lives have been fighting for the lead, the Mystic and Westerly teams have been struggling to keep out of the eel lar position. Two weeks ago the West over 300 pins on Mystic, but slump a week ago cost nearly every pin of the lead, and Thursday night they were unable to stand the ground, so that tn teams now line up in the final standing Stonington. Pawcatuck, Mys- tic and Westerly.
 Mystic defeated Westerly for third honers by 23 pins. The difference of total pinfan between the leading team and the last five is l. 4S0. The two Westerly teams were handicapped dur ing the tournament to some extent by their alleys being destroyed by fire in January, and but for the courtesy or the Mystic and Stonington clubs in offering their alleys to the Pawcatuck and Westerly teams the schedule would not have been completed
 Although the Westerly team finish ed in last place, four out of six honcrs went to members of that club. The team rolled 2574. which was the best three string team total of the contest, and this included a single team total of s04 which was also high. The high individual average went to Herbert F. Clark on the Westerly team with 170, and he also rolled the best three string individual total of 573.
 Conrad Schultz of the Stenington team finished second high man with an average of 16S. and Pampel of the Stonington club was the third highest bowler, leading Chapman of the Paw catuck five. who finished fourth by a fraction of 8 point over 164. The Pawcatuck team as a whole was the most even bowling club, four of the players being over the 160 mark. Six of the 20 bowIers finished with an av cage of 16o or better. and 14 over the 15o mark.
 The Shore Line league will be of1- cially closed next Thursday evening with a supper at the Stonington club rooms.

There is not a team in the country that has so many first class pitchers that a mana ger is not constantly on the watch for more of them. The pitching staff is the keystone of club.

These youngsters are handled like so much Dresden china on a training trip until the manager or catchers have an op- pcrtunity to size them up. Some of them, it is soon discovered, have got the brain capacity to make big leaguers. Others are so confident that they know it all that they will not profit by the advice given them.

r does not often happen that man
makes a serious contribution to
= scientific literature and finds 1t
enthusiastically received by the read
ing public as a collection of humorous
stories. This happened to Joel Chan
dler Harris, who wrote in 1880 book
entitled Uncle Remus: His Songs
and His Sayings" knowing it to be
an important contribution to the rec
ords Of Afro-American folklore, but
the reading public cared little for the
accuracy in these portrayals of the
American negro type, in comparison
to their delight in the humor and
charm of the stories themselves.
Our great American humorous writ
ers In the past have done varied
service to literature and to the social
structure of our nation. Some have
attacked sham and fraud with the
weapons of wit and caricature and
have done lasting good. Some, like
Petroleum v. Nasty and Orpheus C.
Kerr, served the Northern cause in
the Civil War and at the same time
afforded rest and relaxation to Abra-
ham Lincoln when his mind greatly
needed 1t. Others have done last
ing service in preserving accurate
pictures of quaint provincial types
throughout America. Joel Chandler
Harris Is one of these. Many who are
still writing. such as Irving Bachel-
Ter. George AIDE. and others. perform
the same valuable service. 1t is hard
to call this important service a by
product, and yet, after all. the laugh
ter and enjoyment stimulated by
their writings is perhaps the greatest
service they can render.
Mr.. Harris was born in Eatonton,
Ga, December s, 1S4S, and died in
Atlanta in 1908. Like so many other
American humorists he was a printer
by trade, later becoming a journalist.
