Rev. C. A. Northrop Speaks on Sub
 ject of Child Labor-Speeiai Ston-
 ington Invitation For Mrs. Barber.

Rev. c. A. Northrop gave an address Sunday morning at the First Cangre- gational church showing the relation the community should hold toward child welfare. This is the century of the children, he began. It is our duty to help the large fulfillment of their social and community life There never was time when in every line the child is so forging to the front We are walking in better ways our selves because of the child in our midst People are making 1t the bus mess of their lives to give the chiI- dren chance in work and in play our summer playgrounds, sanitation, better tenements, better school meth ods-all are improving the body and soul of the children Still there are many. many who do not have these things brought to them.
 Pictures of child labor were drawn and the facts brought out of small children working 8. 10 hours A day. Every one of these at least shold not be allowed to suffer from the greed Of the community. All the laws in the interest of these come before us today. The Christian church should most heartily cooperate in the endeav- ors to improve all social conditions. A real live church is interested in the people of whom 1t Is a center We are trying to have a safeguarded genera tion so that the next generation may be better, wiser one.

ATTORNEYS AT LAW
EDDIE COLLINS CAN'T
 TOUCH WALTER JOHNSON
ie Faced Him 25 Times Once With.
 out a Single Scratch.

If Connie Mack knew his business he would send Eddie Collins away on a fishing trip or something just about the time that Walter Johnson was due to pitch against the Athletics. This may sound rather startling to the untutored fan, but let the doubt full ones gaze up when facing the, Pride of the Potomac, also the pride of C.. Griffith.
 Now Eddie Collins is a most con sistent 300 hitter. as nearly eve-y sane hurler will vouch for. but if his batting average were reckoned by his work against Johnson he would be anything but a consistent swatsman and in all likelihood Mir. c. Mack would get rid of him.
 Collins batting average in facing Walter Johnson is a perfect scream and Ed should disown it. One day he made two hits in one game when batting against Johnson. and one happened to be home run. That was the best days work he ever put in when laboring to master the John son curve. After that game Collins faced Johnson about 25 times before he even got the semblance of a hit.
 These may be hard words, but E.. Collins, has made the poorest showing against Johnson of any batsman in the league controlled by Ban Johnson save the hurlers and possibly Billy Sullivan It is about as hard to find where Billy made a base hit off the pitching of the great Walter as it would be to find a molar in an old hen, but then Sully has faced the big star only a little over 30 times.
 Collins in the eight seasons he has to hit the curves of Johnson, made a lamentably poor showing. In the 110 times at bat he made just Is base hits, an average of .14.
