The Marine Corps nine. which finish
ed first in the first series in the Gov
ernment League. will play the opening
game of an elimination series today
with the Marines stationed at Philadel-
phia for the Atlantic coast champion
ship The Marines leave for Philadel-
phia this morning, and the contest Is
to take place this afternoon. A great
crowd is expected to be present. The
championship series will take place
between the Marines stationed mere,
those in Philadelphia and In Norfolk.
The victor in the contest of today Will
meet the Norfolk club in a battle to
determine the title.
The Marines have proved strong In
many of their games this spring. Ihey
not only won the title in the first series
in the Government League. but they
did so without the loss of contest.
Expectation of Il victory over the
philadelphia club is general among
the PLAYERS. Harry Shurtleff. umpire in
the Government League, will go along
10 act as one of the two arblters.
There was considerable discussion at
the Government League game yeStef-
day regarding decision or the unlpirs
d
under protest. 1t was in the eighth IN
ming that one of the Marine players nlt
a drive over short. The Navy Inheider
threw his glove at the ball and MT IL
The umpire. who was substituting for
Shurtlef. the regular arblter, allo"ed
the base runner t" go around Tor
home run, when third base should nave
been his resting place. The decision
proved the basis of a protest and the
NAVY layers continued under that con-
dirion. The leag officials Will prob
ably take up the matter next week and
NAV order the contest played over
The Marines seem to be having
greater trouble in this series IN the
Government League than in the hrst
part of the schedule. They were de-
feated in their first appearance, and
seem to be having hard time winning
their games. 1t will be the best thing
for the league if the Marines are
beaten in this series, so as TO insure
final competition between them and the
winner in the second half of the sched-
ule for the right to contest in the post
season series for the city championship.
AS matters stand now it looks as II the
Marines can defeat any one OF the
other clubs in a series, but 1t will add
lot of interest to the race if they are
compelled to finish the second part of
the sea son in second or third place.

BUILDING ACTIVITY IN EASTERN CONNECTICUT
NEW LONDON.
Work Started on New Bath Houses on
EasterIy Place. Ocean Beach.

On Tuesday. work was begun on the
bath houses to be built at Ocean Beach
for Goldberg & Weiner. 1t is planned to
erect $50 on the lot on Easterly place
at the rear of Clifford's pavilion.
The work on the bath-house con-
struction is of such a character that
it can be rushed right along to COM
pletion and it is expected that these
lighthouses will be completed and
ready for use in about two weeks.
Though there has been considerable
talk of opposition in the form of legal
action to the erection of these bath
houses nothing has been done. The
claim has been advanced that the
city in allowing the erection Of addi-
tional lighthouses at the beach would
be imposing an injustice on A. H. Will
kinson, lessee of the bathing. pavilion
owned by the city.

records of the laying contest seem to
indicate that on an average enc may
expect to get two eggs a day from a
hen once for about each 10000 eggs
collected. Furthermore when this
sort of thing happens it has been be-
lieved for the most part that the hen
always laid one of the eggs very early
in the morning and the other along
towards evening. The Rhode Island
Red in question however violated all
presidents by laying the two eggs, both
of marketable size, with practically
no intermission. Not only this but the
trick was turned while an attendant
was in the pen and an eye witness to
the most unusual performance.
