GERMANY BEING PUNISHED.
For Her Mistake Regarding France
 Says Premier Viyiana.

Gueret, France, April 1S, a. m.- Germany ignorant of the Soul of France, now is being punished for her mistake" was the declaration made by Premier Viviani at the opening yes terday of the departmental council of Creuse." She thought to find" he said "a divided, frivolous nation but she met an iron wall against whose heroic resistence, the flower of her army was broken. Then behold the iron wall moved. supple and unbreakable toward the western front, crushing lit- tie by little the army whose chiefs were not prepared for so long and bitter struggle.
 The French nation misunderstood and despised, has arisen ready to pile sacrifice on sacrifice with millions In arms preparing for Germany's chas- tisement. We are certain of victories the tivtory of justice. We want Europe free, Belgium liberated, our lost provinces restored, Prussian mill itarism crushed, since the peace of the world is irreconcilable with it's sanguinary whims. We shall accom- plish this task with our allies. We shall write not only In the history of France, but in the annals of human ity a page which our sons will read with emotion and pride"

As featherweight he bested a number of good boys but lost to Young Corbett and Terry McGov- ern Tn the ghtweight ranks Briggs was never topnotcher. but he al ways gave the fans plenty of action. and although often defeated, was never disgraced. During his career Briggs took part in nearly 140 con- tests. His last important bout was with Willie Fitzgerald at Bridgeport in 1908, when he held the Irishman to draw in o rounds. Briggs fought principally in New England, alth ough he was seen in a number of bouts in the east, south and middle west.

OLD "KTNG" COLE, LENGTHY YANKEE TWIRLER, IS 29
 TOMORROW.
BY "GtAVY.'

Leonard Leslie Cole, the altitudin ous twirler of the New York Yankees, will be the recipient of birthday con- gratulations on the morrow. The tall blonde fashion plate, who is expected to help Wild William Donovan pull the big town American leaguers out of the morass of failure, was born in Toledo, April IS, 1886. The King" of the diamond wintered in Califor- mia, after touring with the All-Ameri- can team, and played in the Calfor mia Winter league.
 The famed twirler with the pretzel windup, the elongated physique and cratic temperament started his pro- fessional baseball career in Bay City. Mich, in 1909. Prior to that-and now we lift the curtain from his dark past-"L.en' Cole was a Bay City tonsorial artist. Many a Michigander bears today the scars left by the fu- ture Kings razor. While he was barhering the male populace of Bay City, Len occasionally played ball with a .semi-pro club, and that was how he came to abandon his career as knight of the shears to become a king of the diamond.
 Len" made quite hit in the South Michigan league during his first year out and in 1910 he was called up high CT and joined the Cubs. All Cole dld for Chicago that annum was to win twenty out of twenty-four contests pitched, lead the National league twirlers, and achieve for himself the proud title of King" Incidentally. he aided the Cubs to win their last pennant. Also, he batted .231.
 After his showing that year Cole looked like the greatest find" in baseball history, and Charles Webb Murphy would hardly have parted with him for a million dollars. But, alas and a-lack -a-day! Poor Cole hit the skids, in common with the re- mainder of the Cubs, and in a couple of annums he was back in the minors, hanging on by his teeth. With the Columbus club of the American as sociation Cole gradually returned to form and copped twenty-three games to eleven lost.
 "Peerless Leader" Chance, looking over this dope, figured that Cole was due for a comeback, and engaged him for the Yankees. The merry old soul" didn't show anything start ling, but Chance nursed him along, although the fans and the scribes were constantly demanding the "can"

TURKEY TO FIGHT TO END.

Rome, April 12. 9:30 p. m., via Paris April 13, 4:55 a. m.-Carasso Effendi, a member Of the Turkish chamber of deputies and Midhat Bey, former sec retary of the Turkish committee of Union and progress who arrived here last week, have left for Constantinople by way. of Venice and Vienna after interviewing Italian statesmen. They denied emphatically that their mis- sion was in relation to separate peace for Turkey. Their mission here they declared was to study Italo-Tur- kish relations in the hope that the common interests of the two countries might be guarded now and in the fu- ture. Before leaving, Carasso Effendi said: Turkey entered the war know ing what she was doing and is deter mined to go on to the end"

for the ex-barber from Bay City, There were times Chance doubtless wished that he had let the Feds kid nap the King, who had spent a month in Fed training camp previous to signing with the Tanks for a consid- eration of $3,300. Toward the close of the season Cole was going better and by taking the measure of the Athletics he won a place with the all-star team on its Pacific tour.
 This year will probably decide whether the King will stay in fast company or go back to the minors or the barber shop.

NEW BRITAIN SOCCER
 TEAM IN CUP BATTLE
Will Meet TaftVi|Ie Eleven at Char
 fer Oak Park Next Sunday.

Hartford has been honored by the Connecticut State Football association by having one of the sime-final ties of the state challenge cup competition tie played at the Charter Oak park on Sunday next. The contesting teams are New Britain and Taftville and a great game is sure to be the outcome as both teams are confident of vic- tory.
 The history of the Taftville club in this competition s eventful as it has reached the neutral ground stage without having game in the competi- ton. In the first round 1t should have entertained the Ansonia football club but the latter, owing to an appeal, refused to travel. The game was eventually ordered to be played at later date and the Ansonia team failed to show up and the game was ordered forfeited to TaftvilIe.
 In the second round Taftville was drawn to play at Thompsonville against the Brussels team but al- though Taftville made the trip to tho latter's ground they were disappointed as the Brussels had withdrawn from the competition and neglected to not fly the team with the result that the team was suspended until the Taft vile expenses was forth coming The game was awarded to Taftville and this earned them the right to enter the semi-final without playing a game.
 On the other hand the New Brit ain teanJ had bye in the first round and was called upon to play the Pres byterians of Bridgeport in the second round. The game was played at New Britain oh Thanksgiving day on n snow covered ground and the New Britain team won quite easily. The two teams are of the best class in the state and rooters can be promised d good clean game.

Although, at the time of writing, the actual date of the opening has not been set EG. Redmond and his popular stock company will very shortly return to PhcenlX and make their home at the Elks theater. There is no better news that we can think of for Phoenix amusement seekers. For many months last season Mir. Redmond and his play CTS demonstrated themselves to be an organization of which any city might well be proud. They gave to Phoenix almost the only theatrical offering it had last winter and offered produc- tions of such merit that the usual road shows were not missed; their place was more than acceptably filled.

 Never in t:Ie annals of the New York stage had men and women laughed as they did that night, laughed until they cried and they cried until tho laughs chased away the tears. Never before had the hearts of an audience gone out SO completely to the heroes of a play. The success of Potash and Perlmuttcr' was instantaneous and from that opening night until the play was sent out on the road to meet the insistant demGnds of out of-town theater- -goers the Conan theater was packed to the doors.

For instance will Rogers, the lariat dancer who was the real hit of the show, got one of the biggest laughs on the first night with this bit of pleasantly: Well well. think O me messin' round here with chewin gum an a lot O rope in place that used to be all smeared over with art However the sub-limated vaudeville and ballet seems to have made a hit, and two of the scenes, one representing the Polo Grounds on the day of a big game and the other a glimpse behind the scenes at slatternly benefit performance were almost a sensation.
