CROWD
 SEES BOLTS IN
 DOUBLE HEADER
(By Wagnm.D-

Like Caruso appearing before his adoring fellow countrymen or John Drew taking a curtain call. was the welcome extended to Tom Crooke at NewdeId park yesterday. There was just as much noise but oh. what a difference As soon as Tom appeared on the coaching lines the bleacheritea set up a mingled roar of hoots, jeers and cat calls. The former Bridgeport first sack was apparently as welcome as a personal tax collector. Every time he came to the bat the fans in the sun baker seats give him chorus of groans. The third base gang de- nanded. that he quit thelhrst base line and come over near them He ac- cepted the invitation in the ninth af- ter his singled had paced the way for PittsfieIdss victory.
 The biggest crowd of the season saw the double bill, which the teams divided, Pittsffe1d taking the first by 5 to and Bridgeport walking home played good ball in both contests and fought hard for two victories.
 Poor pitching by Tuckey was all that lost the opener. A bad throw by Crook gave Pittsfieid one run in Che first inning but the other tal1ies were the result of solid sfnashes. Tuckey lapsed into his old habit of careless ness with weak hifters and dIsregard- ing the weakness Of better sticlers. with the score to 4 in the ninth and CrooF on first. TuckeyN had two balls and syvo strikes on Phillips. In- stead of trying to fool Phillips, who Is weak on high ones, Fuokey gave him a curve ba1I right over the outside corner where Phillips c1outed it for three bases, winning the game
 Barresakarnp twfrIed with skill for PittsfieId except in the third when Bridgeport got three. Manager Boultes' single with the bases filled, doing a lot of damage. Catcher Crook led at tho bat with two singles. The score:

other leading base stealers are fast men. George Morfarity of Detroit. however, is not a particularly fast man. he is a clever base runner and has stolen home probably more than ans other man in either league Ty Cobb is. considered the fasniest and most daring base runner in the game to- day. He takes desperate chances and his l speed and cleverness in avoiding the man with the ball aid him in his pill fering. More than once; Cobb has electrified the crowd by dashfng for second. third and home when there did not seem to be a chance of reach ing the bag safely. but landing through his skill in lodging the baseman, or

 Cobb runs the bases and steals bases as gracefuI1y as he does everything
 else. He hooks the bag with his
 toe or falls away from the man with
 the ball in a manner which gives the
 basenan the least possible chance to tag him.

r11s mystery of the pitcher named wlniaans who joined Bridgeport only to be ordered back to Pa,wtucket by Secretary Farrell of the National as- ssociation, has been cleared sup. An old timer named Jeff Pfeffer sent williams to Bridgeport, when the Bolts were in New London. It de- veloped that Pfefrer had been deposed as manager of Pawtucket so had no power to take such action. When President OsRourke ordered Williams sent back to Pawtucket the order was immediately obeyed. Manager Boultes said Williams was a biz. strapping boy, weighing about 1855. He looked like a good pitcher, too. said the Bolts leader.

ROTTERDAM, Nov. 6.-Prudent men in Holland continue to talk of the European War in whispers and behind closed doors, and one would almost think the Duke of Alba was making another descent on the Lowlands. A few days ago-before Queen Wilhel- nina addressed the opening session of the Staten-G General on the subject of neutrality, expressions pro and con could be heard in the cafes and other public places. But the gentle lan- guage of Her Majesty penetrated deeply-editors have again taken to their mental retreats and the burghers again think of the floods that will in- undate most of NOth-central Holland in case any warning nation should at tempt an invasion.
 Holland has begun to realize the delicacy and difficulties of her position, and the danger of any pronounced sympathy with one or the other of the belligerent powers. It is feared that London might take advantage of any expression of feeling in favor of the allies in the hope of getting The Hague to make concessions which would bring the Germans over the Dutch borders. This part of the issue is clear enough-even to the Germans, whose press refers to it now and then and with the intimation that it is better to have Holland afraid of England than in love with Ger many.
 Holland on the whole seems to have been well satisfied with the pre- bellian status in Europe. Germany was good customer of the Dutch col onies and put annually millions into the Dutch railways and Oversea, river and canal bottoms. That there are at present out of work in Rotterdam some l5 ,OOO men who heretofore made a comfortable living in the transport business created by German industry, is a daily reminder that after all the interests of Holland do not wholly lie in the destruction of Germany's for eign commerce. Holland, in addition to handling a great part of Germany's

supply of food, also carried fully one- fourth of the raw material imported by the German manufacturers and about one-fifth of the German ex- ports, having almost entirely the traf- fic originating in Rhenish-Prussia, Westphalia and other parts of the em- pire enjoying canal transportation facilities accessible from the Rhine.
 What the conditions of this traffic will be after the war, is problem with the Hollander. Certain it is that Germany's industrial position could not be reduced without causing serious losses to the Netherlands-of this some 6O,000 men, women and children suffering from unemployment are the evidence. Formerly about 300 seago- ing vessels entered the port of Rotter- dam every week. At present the av- craze is below 30, and most of these are said to go with half-cargoes. Riv- CT and canal traffic is all but paralyz- ed, and the railroad receipts are dwindling constantly. As a member of the local Chamber of Commerce re- marked: "Our railroads are kept busy hauling coal for themselves" He might have added that when not doing this they are obliged to handle one tenth of the Dutch army back and for tn, the men under arms being entitled to one day with their families every tenth day.
 Much has been done by the govern ment to avert disaster, employ the un- employed, and lessen the suffering of those unable to find work. The govern ment has issued "Zilverbons"-script calculated to replace the actual cur rency which disappears from circula- tion as soon as war threatens. The cities, too, have been given the right to issue such money, backed by the municipal property. This has had the tendency to restore confidence and re- gently much silver has been taken out of hiding so that now conditions are fairly normal.
 Public work which had been delayed for one reason or another has been in- augurated by the national government and most cities are having their sew CTS given a through overhauling. In Rotterdam, for instance, many streets have been torn up from one end to the other, and a large force IS being em- plioyed in lifting black, evil-smelling ooze from the canals by means of wire baskets at the end of long pole-a primitive way of doing things, but one which helps to keep people in bread, if not in butter.
