Give Prosperity a Chancel

President Wilson has a keen
eye. He is a watchful observer.
lie reads the signs Of the times.
Twice recently he has sought to
stem the tide Of advancing de-
preston by words of encourage
ment to the business men of the
country. They were timely and
effective. We congratulate the
President that he spoke so quick
ly. But deeds speak louder than
words.
President Wilson knows that
the Democratic Party is on trial.
lie perhaps recalls what Senator
Bailey said, in predicting the
election of President Wilson,
namely that if the Democratic
party pursued a constructive and
not a destructive policy, it would
remain in power for a generation.
In signing the Currency Reform
Bill, President Wilson spoke in a
similar vein when he urged upon
his followers "a policy of con
structiye action and when he
characterized the Currency Bill
as tie first of constructive
measures by which the Democrat
&c Party viii show that it knows
how to serve the country"
The President added, 81, my
self, have always felt when the
Democratic Party was criticised
as not knowing how to serve the
business interests of the coun-
try that there was no use OF re-
plying to that in words. The
only satisfactory reply was an

Government feel justified in de-
stroying existing economies for
the purpose Of remedying techni-
cal wrongs connected with the
early history Of some of our
greatest industriesG
Here is the opportunity for a
constructive policy that will give
the Democratic Party renewed
prestige as the party of peace
and prosperity. That is what
President Wilson desires to make

TANKS GRAB
 EVEN BREAK WITH MACK MEN

Good pitching by Marty McHale in the second game enabled the Highland CTS to get an even break with Connie Mack and his troupe of worlds cham pdons before a big gathering of fans at the Brush Stadium yesterday after noon. In the matinee tussle the Chancemen lost a hard fought twelve inning game by the score of g to 8.
 Tn the nishtcap it was a different story. The Highlanders played real high class ball and with McHa4e using his best brand of spitters on the Attn letics, the Chancemen walked off with a to 2 victory. McHa1e was at his best in the second game and allowed the Athletics only four scattered hits Opposed to him was Carroll Brown, the old Waterbury pitcher.
 Brown held the High1anderes safe until the seventh inning. Then they fell on him and showed over four runs while the crowd went wild. Five sin gles and passed ball gave the High flanders all of their runs. The Ath- Ietics scored a run in the fifth and held the lead until the lucky inning.
 Manager Chance introduced a new outf1elder by the name of Meara, who made such a great reputation as a batter with the Perth Amboy team of the Atlantic league that Scout Irwin signed him up for the Highlanders The youngster handled himself well in the field and delivered a. couple of timely hits.

BOXING NOTES

Willie Ritchie is fortunate 1ndA-5 viduaI The California boy, who holds the lightweight championship, came within an ace of being put to sleep in the first round of his fight with Charlie White of Chicago be- fore the Queensbury A. c. in Mill waukee Tuesday night. and he can thank his stars that he did not go down to defeat. Charlie White no doubt considers himself an' unfortun- ate boy, ina9much as he had the chance of a lifetime and missed 1t. However, Charlie can lay back on the laurels he gained for he certainly made a name for himself, such that, he could not have gained any other way, and he will no doubt reap the profits Ritchie had been doing the leading in the first minute of the round with White backing away,
 when all of a sudden out shot Char lies left and it col1ided flush on Will lies jaw. There was a good kick back of it and Willie wopbIed for an instant. Before he could regain his balance Charlie crossed over with his right to the jaw and this put the champion in bad way. Only his generaIship saved him now and the fact that White was over-anxious to score a quick Knockout and thereby lost his. chance. The blow to the jaw must have been a. terrific one, for it certainly jolted the champion from head to IOOL. w n1IGs IOOS dpp01TSd to be afraid to take any unnecessary chances, which was a very good way of sizing up the situation, for he was
 meeting a champion and preferred to play safe. After the first round White fought a careful and deliberate battle using splendid judgment all through He had the better of six rounds and once again. in the fourth, had Willie wobbly. Ritchie was the aggressor throughout despite the fact that he had both eyes badly puffed and his nose severely cut. It was a, big handicap to overcome, but the champion showed his class and also gameness by fighting a grand uphill battle There is no doubt about White having the best of the contest on points and hei deserves all the credit possible. He surely is enti- tied to a chance for the championship over the 2O-round route. whether White will be able to travel the mara thon route in similar manner is an other question, but for ten rounds he surely has the speed end also the hit ting power. It was a wonderful bat tie and the big crowd wen@ mad with enthusiasm. The fighters got the coin, the promoters the experience and the fans splendid show. The receipts were $14,60o, of which Ritchie received e1q,0O0 and expen- ses; White over s3.3oO and the club a loss Of nearly $3,O0o.
 George Chip made a real come back this week atSLos Angeles when he put Ed. (Sailor) Petroskey to sleep in the 12th round of schedul- ed 2O-round bout. Petroskey re- gently fought two 2O-round bouts with Jimmy CIabby so that Chips knock out makes the Pittsburgh look good once more. Now if he can wipe out the one-round defeat at the hands of Al Mccoy he will be in line for cham pionship honors again.

BAD PITCHING LOSES BATTLE
 FOR LOCALS
(By Wagner.)

When good pitching goes to the mat with bad pitching there is only one answer. For that reason Hartford had no trouble in trouncing Bridge port at Newheld park yesterday by to l. The Senators landed heavily on Gervais in the third, fourth and fifth innings. Manager Boultes would have derricked him if the locals could have done anything with Reiger but as he blanked them until the ninth, the To- cal pilot concluded to let GervaIs take his medicine.
 Reiger's splitter bothered Bridgeport. The Hartford finger had good con- tro1 and the Bolts gathered only six safeties. Harry Aubrey collected two singles and Pop Senno belted g triple in the ninth.
 Bridgeport's fielding on the whole was good. Kerns was off form behind the bat but the infleId was in fine fett1e and so were the outer guard ians. In the ninth the crowd howled when Senno led off with a triple to right. Tierney was thrown out by Reiger but Keliher dropped BouItes' fly. Aubrey sent Senno home with a single but Ems popped to Curry. Then Kerns walked. filling the bases. Crook batted for .Gervais and famed. The score:

IS COL ONIAl LEAGUE OW NED
 BY FEDERALS ?

Over in the Colonial league the magnates are worrying over the re- port that the circuit. which is oper- ating under the national agreement as class c league, is the property of the F,ederals. There are six clubs in the league, Pawtucket, Fall River, Taunton, Brockton, Woonsocket and New Bedford.
 It is reported that the Wards, who own the Brooklyn Federals, are among the most prominent packers of the organization and in reality own the Pawtucket club outright, through A. w. Bannwart, who, so far as is known, is the business manager of the club. Bannwart denies the story and says there is no truth in it. He de- clines to say, however. who does own the Colonial league, or who supplied the money to get the circuit under way.
 All over the Colonial league the teams have been well backed and in Pawtuclzet a new grand stand has been built and the ball field put in better condition that ever before.
