new BRITAIN TEAM
IN Line FOR CUPS
Hardware CITY. Eleven Making Good
Showing in Soccer Leagues.

The season liz rapidly drawing TO q
close and although only a few more
weeks remain for playing, nothing
has yet been decided as 20 who shall
DC the champions Of the various
league and competitions, with the ex-
certion Of the Esling Shield competi-
ton, which has been won by the Wa
verify team of New Haven after .
very interesting competition. In the
Budd Cup competition the New, Ha-
ven and New Britain teams are left
to play off for the final OF the compe-
tition. In the Spring Cup composition
there are still four teams left in the
competition, namely, New Haven, An
sonia, Manchester Glens and New
britain. In this composition two
games Of the semi-inal round have
been played, as on Sunday last An
sonia and New Haven peat Manches-
ter Glens and New Britain, respective
ly. In the State leagues a disappoint-
ing state of affairs exists, as in the
Southern league both the Bridgeport
City and Ansonia teams are squabbling
in appeals and protests in order TO
Dust the other from the championship.
In the Northern league the same thing
exists as the Manchester Glens and
the New Britain teams are also cut
ting one another's Threats TO claim the
championship and this will certainly
have to be settled at Saturday nights
league meeting. This meeting will
certainly have a lengthy session as
some very important business will be
transacted.
8 The New Haven team gained the
verdict over the New Britain team in.
tine first game OF the semi-final tie OF
the Spring Cup competition on Sun
day, winning the game by three goals
TO one after very good and clean
game. The referee reports that the
New Britain team liz one of the clean
est teams that he has ever seen and
they cause the official in charge very
little trouble. 1t was anybody's game
until the last few minutes Of the
game when the New Haven team
forged ahead in gallant style and won
the game. There was one OF the best
attendances of the season at the game
and this shows that successful team
will play in New Haven when there
is a good attraction The New Haven
forwards played a great game but
they were met by a stubborn defense.
The teams will meet again on the
New Haven grounds May 16, where
the final game of the tie viii be
played and the winner will have TO
play the winner OF the Ansonia and
Manchester Glens game in the final
tie. fta

New York, May There is
rumor going the rounds in basebaii
to the effect that Fred Merkle, the
Giants first sacker, who is now out
of the game as a result of a head
on collision with the grand stand In
q game recently, has cast aside the
spangles for good. The reason given
for Merkle's disaffection is that he is
tired of being made the butt of the
sharp quips Of the baseball critics on
the now famous failed to touch Sc
cond incident, in which he was the
central figure, and which cost the
Giants pennant. If the retirement

McGraw's worries are far from over.
Merkle may not be star of the
first water, but he Is very valuable
man and one whose services would
be missed by any club of which he was
a member. He is an excellent helder
and until last year, when he fell in
to batting slump along with the
rest of his team, he was demon with
the stick. McGraw has every con-
fldence in Fred's ability, and it is GER

exhausted every method and argu-
ment to make him stick.

YANkS BEAT SOx IN

Tie Up Score in Ninth BY Using
Heavy Artillery.

New York, May THE tenacious
Yankees landed a big one yesterday.
They landed a thirteen inning prize
to their growing stock Of riches. They
defeated the Boston Red Sox in a
game Of that length. The score was
4 to 8. Hi -,
For six innings the Yanks were
turned back by Ruth with little that
approximated base hits, but the Bos-
tons, although they had been rapping
Jack WARRIOR sharply, never were able
to go far to the front, so with not far
to go to catch up, but with not mucn
time left, the Yanks tackled the tough
Ruth problem with increased vigor.
The increased aggressiveness Of their
warfare brought them nine hits off
the puzzling filings of the southpaw
in the last seven innings, as compared
to one in the first six. That's how
hard they went after a victory ss

OUR FIRST ATTEMPT

T HERE appears to be a
W disposition in certain
quarters to draw the in.
ference from the decline in the
price of the Anglo-French
bonds, that our first important
attempt at international bank
ing had proved somewhat of a
failure. The facts of the case
hardly bear out this conclusion,
The chief object of the bond
sale was to raise a credit of
S500,000,000 for two of our
best customers. Despite the
fact that the amount asked for
was the largest ever raised by
one country for another, that
the borrowers were engaged in
d great war against a most for
midable antagonist, and that
investors here were unaccus-
toned to lending money out
side of the country, the entire
amount was subscribed for in
a few hours after the subscrip-
ton books were opened.
Departing from their usual
procedure of underwriting the
bankers permitted everyone to
participate in the underwriting
On the same terms as them
selves. Where the appearance
of failure comes in is that the
bankers, after allowing the
general public to subscribe to
the bonds at SO, the same price
as they paid, attempted to re-
sell them at SO. Obviously,
comparatively few people who
intended to buy at all were left
as buyers at the higher price.
But the great bulk Of the
S500,000,000 was Immediately
absorbed by bona fide invest
ors. who evidently intend to
hold the bonds for their income
return. The small floating sup
ply taken by spectators, and
which is now coming on the
market at declining prices,
does not measure the success Of
the undertaking any more than
the tail wags the dog.-Boston

ian anti-Montgomery affair but
an investigation to vindicate
the laws Of the state of Oregon.
Our form Of government re-
.quires that the ballot box be
protected against vi0lators. In
this state we have q corrupt
practices act to further protect
1.-THE purity of elections. There
. is talk to the effect that at the
city election every law in the
election code was violated.
Certainly many of the provis-
! ions of the law were thrown to
the winds.
If this sort of work is to 90
unchecked the violations will
become more and more flag
rant each time. One candidate
will disregard the law because
he knows his opponent is doing
SO and he will desire to keep
even with him. Such a state
of affairs tends to political
bedlum and all the evils at
tendant thereon.
There should be a grand
Jury investigation of recent af-
fairs here and it should be
taken up in such a way as to
guarantee impartiality. 1t
should not be to set aside the
election or to validate the cleo
ton but to bring out the truth
and to emphasize in a convinc-
ing manner the fact there are
certain laws governing cam
paign methods and election
day proceedings and that those
laws cannot be broken with
impunity.
1t is an appropriate job for
the attorney general.
