GOHON DIGS VICTORY
AFTER MANY SLIPS
Wilmington Loses Out in a Game
Bubbling Over With
d.. Interest
BY "UNIP"

Gohon, one of Harrisburg's young
'twirlers, is q digger. Lack of eX-
perience put this youngster in many
holes in yesterdays game with Will
mington, but he finally dug himself
out with a victory; score, 2 to l.
1t was q great game for the spec
tators. Something interesting was hap
pening every minute. Opposed to
Gohon was Brown, young Chick.
This boy also took a big part in the
Dine-act circus. Brown had speed
and curves, tanning ten men and MAX
ing a record for himself. His lacking
was control. Gohon had that goodly
quality, especially in pinches. Char
ley Miller former Harrisburg
catcher, was in the game. He got q
great welcome from the fans.
With these youngsters working
things happened not found on daily
baseball program. 1t was funny to see
them doing things they learned in the
old town lot game. Wiser heads pulled
them through.
Gohons work was feature after
he settled down. Both teams played
with pep and it was anybodys bat
tie until the last man was out on Will
mington's side in the ninth. Two de-
cisions by Umpire Glatts had the fans
guessing for time.
Pearce hit an infield fly. Wyckoff
let it drop clean, intending to try fof
a double play. Umpire Glatts was
wise to his tricks and called the bat
ter out. Meyers ran to third on the
play and was tagged by Byers. When
Meyers started to walk to the bench
Jimmy Jackson grabbed him, forcing
Meyers back to the base. \ coacher

Jackson's violation put the runner out.
OF course, Jimmy Howled, but it was
no use. He knew better
Two passes and three singles gave
Wilmington their one run Two singles
and an out allowed Harrisburg to tie
up the score in the fourth. An error
by Morgan with a single and double
brought the other run The score:

Methodist Missionary Absolutely
Refuses to Leave Field in
Present Crisis
Special TO The Telegraph

New York, May 16.-Rather than

Laura Temple, missionary of the
Methodist Board of Foreign Missions,
has decided to remain at her post. She
is the only one of the thirty Methodist
missionaries III the republic OF Mexico

Explaining her reasons for wishing
to stay, Miss Temple wrote the follow
ing letter to DR.. John w. Butler, at
the head of the mission work in Mex
leo City, who is now in New York:
THE industrial school with which
am connected is outside the city

days nothing would be left of the

would lose their heads through fear
and bandits would do the rest.

erty here in the city would be less ex-
posed, but would doubtless soon be

TIRED OF DRUNKEN BUNS.
Borouqh Citizens Voted No-License Because Disguised with Daily Street Sights.

Aside from all the talk one hears of political trades as the real cause why Killingly went no-license Monday, this talk being worth little or pothing, it may be set down as a, fact that the license people are deeply disappointed, more so than usual when they have been defeated. and that the no-icense forces are proportionately elated at having won out in a big contest that bore no positive promise of success. Men who have been voting license for the past three years, it is very evil dent turned the town from wet to dry. They do not believe the no-license plan the right plan for the solution of the liquor problem, but they could not stand longer for the daily decoration Of portions of the business section with a fringe of drunken buns. Where the blame for this rests need not be pointed out. No other town in this section does or would stand for it for any length of time and not a few Danielson license men decided that this town had endured the condition long enough.
 With policed streets this condition could not have existed, but local

streets are not regularly policed. All license men are not to be regarded as rough -necks or victims of debauchery, The great majority of them have an advocates of no-license, a. system which they regard as not sufficiently effective against the liquor problem. If liquor is to be sold, they prefer that the sale should be conducted under the license system in licensed places rather than in basements, cellars and out of hip pockets. These men re- spect themselves and others and it is for these reasons particularly, as may be ascertained by anyone who cares to make inquiries, that a sufficient num- Der of license men, or nearly sufh- cient number, decided they would no longer tolerate condition under which the most degraded specimens of hu- manity were allowed. in numbers, to infest what should be a clean busi- ness section, under licensse or mo- license, and leer at respectable people who were put to shame by what they were obliged to witness.
 The villages in Killingly have also had their share of this trouble. It caused the same result. License men turned about and voted 'No" Monday. There need be no wailing over this. A majority of Killingly's citizens, H- cense and no-license voters, will al- ways insist that the town preserve a decent showing of responsibility. Those who disregard this fact must pay the penalty

GERMAN LIFE DESCRIBED.
Mrs. Lewis Rogers Speaks at Meeting
 of Women's Club.

Tuesdays regular meeting of the Willimantic Women's club, which was held at the club rooms at 3.45, was one of the most largely attended meetings the organization has held in some time. A talk by Mrs. Lewis Rogers of Storrs on Home Life in Germany proved highly interesting.
 Mrs. Rogers was educated in Ger many and has since spent considerable time there, her last visit being couple of years ago. She spoke in an enter taining manner of the life there and of the part that officialdom played in that country, relating many amusing incl dents of it's decrees. At this time, however, she stated that it had proved of high value to Germany, for while the allies had to spend considerable energy on the lookout for spies, Ger many knew at once who was within her borders. and where they came
