HARTFORD TO BE LEFT
OUT OF NEW ORGANIZATION
According to Latest Information From
Men In Charge.

According to the latest information
from the men in charge of recon
structing the Eastern Baseball asso-
citation, Hartford will not be repre-
sented in the league when the season
starts Some of the men who were
anxious to get the Hartford franchise
few weeks ago were talking about
building q. diamond at Charter Oak
Park and Jack Zeller of the circuit
committee looked into this matter. 1t
was reported recently that the commit
tee will recommend leaving Hartford
off the baseball map this season. 1t
is too late now to build a satisfactory
baseball plant and C1arkin has re-
grounds because of stubbornness.
This will mean the end of Clarkin in
baseball in Hartford as a team man
aged by him now would not draw any
better than his office building, for the
circuit committee found most Of the
rooms vacant.
With Hartford out of the league,
the circuit will probably consist of
six clubs, New Haven, Bridgeport,
Pittsf1eld, New London, Springfield
and Waterbury If the Hartford
grounds could be secured there would
the town and getting sufficient back
ing for it. 1t is possible that Clarkin
learned the views of the committee
and that is why he is so anxious to
be represented in the pony or phOny
circuit proposed by George NJ Cam
eron, with baseball reporters as Of
ficers. This scheme of the former
owner of the New Haven franchise
is dubbed by the Hartford Times as
cheap baseball and it has not met
with favor in any of the towns men
toned as available for teams except
Winsted. The latter place is said to
be strong for the proposed league for
if a club was placed there Jerry Con-
nell would be the manager.
1t is not known who Mr.. Cameron
left Plainville out of his circuit& This
place is the home Of his brothef-in-
laf. Jim Murphy, it has a fine hotel
the Clarendon, post office, soldiers
monument and one of the few honest
blacksmiths left in the state. Plain
vile should fit in well with such a
circuit and it is said that Jim Murphy
is quite peeved because George over
locked his town. Mr.. Murphy con-
ducts the principal business in Plain
vile. There is no newspaper there
but such a league would not need a
newspaper. All it would need would
be a quick burial.

SLUGGER OF FEDERAL LEAGUE
SIGNS THREE YEAR CONTRACT
Benny kauff Will Receive Highest
Salary on Tip Tops Payroll.

Benny Kauff, the leading hitter of
the Federal league has signed a
three-year contract with the Tip Tops.
Although it was not stated what the
figures were it was said Benny was to
receive the highest salary on the
Wards payroll.
Magee is understood to have offered
Kauff several contracts to sign since
he came into camp last Sunday, but
each failed to meet the players de-
mands After Benny had signed he
showed some Of the players offers that
he had received to jump back to or
gained baseball. These called for
more money than he was paid by the
Indianapolis club.
There is a report current that Nick
Cul1op, the southpaw who was traded
to the Tsp Tops, will have to E@turn
to Kansas City.

HOFFMAN, QUITS BRookFEDs.
Turns in His Uniform as Result OF
$40 Fine fof Cigaret Smoking.

The first serious dissention in the
ranks of the Brooklyn Federal League
club came when Artie Holman turned
in his uniform to Manager Lee Magee
after having been fined SO for smok-
ing a cigarette. By this action the
utility player severed his connection
with the club.
"Of course, if I so DESIRE" said Ma
gee, 81 would go through with the
breaking of Hofman's Contract; but ]
shall defer my decision until we get
back to Brooklyn and there have a
talk with Robert B. Ward.

just one inasmuch as he as well as
every one else in the club knew Just
what they could expect if they broke
any fthe rules which were laid dowr
when we first arrived in camp"

The OTHER HALF
OF Torn $40 Found And Sutton Was
Relieved In Mind

How Richard Sutton of West Sugar
street attempted unwittingly TO pay
for a suit of clothes with a half of a
$50 bill has furnished amusement to
his co-workers at the C. & G. Cooper
Co., and Sutton himself is inclined to
see the funny side of the story.
The incident happened several days
ago. Sutton was paid off with $40
bill which he thrust into his pocket.
in some manner or other, the bill
was torn in half and one of the pieces
was lost. OF this, Sutton had no
knowledge until he attempted to pre-
sent the damaged bill in exchange
for a suit of clothes. Surprise was
written in every line of his counten-
ance when he realized that his bill
could scarcely be accepted as legal
tender.
Sutton wracked his brain in en-
deavoring to decide what had hap
pened to the other half of the bill
and finally instituted search which
resulted in it's being discovered in an
alley near his home, where he was
doing some odd work.

"Died' In The Middle Of A
Small Stream
And Mt. Vernon People Have
Unpleasant Experience

Forced to abandon his automobile
in the middle of a stream below Gam
bier was the experience undergone by
Palmer Barnard of East High street
Thursday evening and came as rather
sorry end to a picnic which men,
bers of the history class in Mt. Ver-
non high school had in the afternoon.
The picnic was over and the Barn.
ard car, filled with classmates of the
driver, had returned to the city at s
o'clock Tuesday evening 1t was the
sentiment of the party that the festiv-
tiles should not be ended so a trip was.
made below Gambler.
The circuitous roads, many in num-
Der, which abound throughout Col
lege township, had puzzling effect
on the party and, when a return
home was attempted, nobody had any
notion of the right road to take.
One road was taken and, after driv-
irg around for some time, familiarity
in the scenery brought to the atten-
tion of the occupants of the car that
q circle had been traversed. Hence,
the party drove off in another direc-
ton. A little stream was soon en-
countered and it was decided to ford
this.
in the middle of the water, the car
stuck and, although it was merely a
jump to the other side, nothing could
be done to relieve the situation.
The girls in the car were bundled
out and the boys set off to a farm
house, where a call for Mt. Vernon
was put in and assistance secured. It
was decided to abandon the car for
the night.
Early Friday morning, a return
was made to the spot and the car
dragged out of the stream and
brought back to this city.

IMPORTANT
Part Played By Music In Life
Of Everyone

In connection with the enthusiasm
displayed by the Mt. Vernon people
for the May Festival, It will doubtless
be interesting to emphasize the
ubiquity of music in our daily lives.
Many people will not confess that it
is vital part of their existence, be-
cause they have always accepted 1t
unconsciously, without a full realiza-
ton of its Importance. But did you
ever think that there is little of con-
sequence in the world with which
music is not allied? 1t can be heard
in the palace and likewise in the hut.
II inspires great, heroic actions, but
it likewise conspires with criminal de.
bauchery.
in connection with the present
European war, the commanders
sought to do away with martial music
as a useless adjunct to their armies
They found that from time memorial
men have fought to music and that
it was as essential as powder. Music
alone incites the soldier to gallant
heroism on the field of battle, and
also with dirge it attends him in
muffied tones to his grave.
1t inspires thoughts of the Infinite
in cathedral and church, and at the
same time it is attendant upon social
and moral degradation in cabaret and
brothel. In Mt. Vernon we are glad
to feel it serves almost wholly the
nobler aspect, for we have not the
debauchery of the dives of the great
cities and our music is heard only in
our homes, churches and festivals,
where it has the uplifting charm of
the angelic hosts and not the seduct-
i've allurements of Satan.
The Festival Association is con-
cerned with the placing of good music
properly in the hearts of the people,
that may appeal to the best in
their nature, and so lend some beauty
to an existence which to many of us
would otherwise be commonplace.
Music has such deep contrasts that
it is our function to present to the
people here only the side that will
life to better things. These musical
contrasts are exemplifled in so many
ways. For instance, in grand opera
music covers with the glamor of art,
gross immoralities and consequent
tragedy; and allied to holy writ it
chants the praises of the Omnipotent.
1t eXalts the glory of victory and in
tones the dirge of defeat 1t scars on
wings of inspiration TO lofty attitudes
of thought in the classic symphony,
and awakens amorous and sensuous
thoughts in the whirling mazes of the
dance. 1t gives expression to the
poetry of a Shakespeare, and de-
scends to the banal vulgarity of the
popular song.
May we in Mt. Vernon always cling
to its nobler aspects as are ideal in
our musical life. This is the aim and
life work of the Festival Association.
