BUILD TUNNEL
UNDER ENGLISH
CHANNEL SOON
FRANCE TO URGE CONNECTING
TWO COUNTRIES AS SOON AS
WAR is OVER - WILL COST
100000 POUNDS.

Paris, Aug. 27.-France has taken
all the necessary steps to enter into
negotiations with England to build
| jointly a tunnel under the English
channel to connect the two countries,
! the long talked of project which the
war has revived because it has dem
onstrated as nothing else could the
value of the tube to both countries.
Had the tunnel been in existence
during the present conflict it would
have been of unreasonable value to
England and France for the transpor-
tation of troops and supplies and
would have liberated French and Brit
ish war vessels from one of their big
gest tasks.
The plans were outlined by NJ.
Sartiaux chief engineer of the Nord
Railway company. who is one of the
strongest advocates of the project. He
said:
"The tunnel will cost 100000
pounds, half of which would be borne
by England and half by France Each
country would bore one-half of the
tunnel. Well, Britain is spending just
now G,000,000 pounds per day and
France 100000 pounds, so that two
days wartime expenditure of both
countries would more than cover the
cost of making the tunnel.
at is proposed to make two tun-
nels, one for traffic from France to
England, another for traffic from Eng
land to France. Some people seem
to think cross-channel tunnel might
be a danger, because it might fall
into the hands of the enemy. To cap
ture the French end would not be an
easy task The mouth of the tunnel
on French soil would be ten miles
from the coast, and in order to reach
it the enemy would have to capture
Calais, and negotiate three interven-
ing hills of an average height of $50
feet.
"The tunnel on the French side
would begin its journey under sea
at Sangatte. In my belief it would
be impossible for an enemy to reach
the mouth of the tunnel and get at
the electric plant. The motive power
cOuld ha instantly SIlnnrnsSed and tbp
tunnel Immediately rendered useless
by filling it with poisonous gas.
zone can hardly exaggerate the ser
vices the tunnel would have rendered
to England and France had it been in
existence when hostilties broke out.
During the twenty hours of daily use
(for four hours must be deducted out
of the twenty-four for upkeep and re-
pairs. etc. between 100 and 120
trains could have been sent in each
direction
AT 500 tons per train that repre-
sents $4,000 to 10000 tons a day each
way, much more than is necessary.
Apart from the diminution in delay,
risks. losses, and difficulties of every
nature, the British fleet would have
been liberated from one of the heavi-
est parts of its task and free to serve
the cause of the allies in other direc-
tons"

SIX OR EIGHT CLUBS
 SUGGESTED FOR NEXT YEAR
Eastern Magnates Find 10 Club Cir
 cult Too Much.

Jim ClarIIin and Bill Carey are having their little spree at aseball and Tim Murnane is drawing salary as league president, but 1t looks very much as if one year of these expensive luxuries will be enough to satisfy those who set up such a howl last winter about a new 1O-club league. Already several of the East ern league club owners are figuring on some plan for next season. They consider this season wasted and their money gone, but the coming season want to devise some visible means by which they may recuperate from their losses
 It has been suggested that the magnates go back to the six or eight club leagues and make two leagues of the present Eastern. Up New England way they want six or eight clubs and drop the cities on this end. Here the club owners figure that New Haven, Bridgeport Hartford Water bury. Springfield and New London for siX-club league, and perhaps Pittsfeld and Meriden, if they want eight clubs. It is argued that such a league would get the promoters much more money than sticking to the new club circuit, which they are now be- ginning to see will never pay and will never be a successful organization.
 The New England promoters men t1on Lowell, Lawrence, Lynn, Wor- CSSLSI, T AICupuES ana Y all EIlV6r TOT a siN-club league, with perhaps Port land and Manchester in case of talk ing in eight clubs.
 In other words, those who did all in their power to knock out the Eastern association and New England league in favor of the 10-club circuit, are willing to go back to the old leagues and run baseball like it used to be conducted before they became tied up to the big ideas.
 The present league has been con- sidered from all angles, and it can be seen that the league is top-heavy and cumbersome. It is not practical, and probably never would be. The rainy and cold weather cannot be wholly blamed for the poor attend ance at the games for on pleasant days the teams have not drawn, and some of the smallest crowds of the season have turned out on the best days. It only goes to show that the league is not looked upon favorably by the fans about the circuit

Eastern Racquet WieIders Triumph
Church and Mathey Defeat Davis and Johns in Tennis Doubles for Championship Clay Courts II Doyle Reaches Seni-Fnas in Singles.

Cleveland, O.. June 3o.-The east tri- umphed over the west today when George M. Church, Tenaf1y, IN. J., and Dean Mathey, Cranford, N. J., former Princeton team, retained the doubles championship of the United States on clay courts by defeating Willis E. Davis and Harold Van Dyke Johns of San Francisco, 7-5. so, 6-2, in the challenge round of the doubles event in the seventh annual national clay court tennis tournament on the courts of the Lakewood Tennis club.
 The champions more than lived up to their regulations. Church, in par ticular, played spectacular tennis. His exhibitions at the net bordered on the sensational Mathey played excellent tennis considering that he has not been on the courts as much as Church this season. The Californians per formed cleverly in the first set, but from then on were very cratic.
 Conrad B. Doyle of the Columbia Country club, Washington, D. C., reached the final round in the mems singles today by defeating William McElroy of Pittsburgh. Doyle's oppo- nent in the final round will be Willis D. Davis. This match, which will take place tomorrow, will be for the na- ttonal singles championship, as R. Norris Williams of Philadelphia, 1915 champion, will not defend his title in a challenge round.
 The championship doubles match to- day was thrice interrupted when troop trains carrying the national guard from various eastern states passed within a short distance of the courts. The hundreds of fans in the stands stood up and cheered wildly as the soldiers passed en route to the Mexican border

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS HEAVY.
Mexican Question Was Again Source
 of Irritation.

New York, June 30.-Further gains in representative stocks, most of which were lost later, and consistent heav1- ness in the more volatile speclalt1eS were the contrasting features of to- days professional market. Trading was on moderate scale, the approach ing week end and next weeks holiday causing a general curtailment of op- erations.
 The Mexican situation was again source of irritation, if not alarm, pri- vate advices from reliable sources in dicating a revival of the recent strain because of the reported refusal of the authorities Of that country to meet certain demands of our government. There were indications, also, of more liquidation of obscure industrials and equipments.
 United States Steel which led the market throughout, and the prominent rails, such as Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, New York Central, Reading and the coalers, as a whole gave the list it's early upward impetus, together with the marine issues, which were again notably strong. The munitions made little or no response to rumors of government contracts, and Insp1ra- ton was the only metal issue to hold more than steady, the zinc shares re- cording further concessions.
 Mexican Petroleum was subject to combined long selling and bear at taclxs, but other Mexican stocks held their ground until the end, when sell- ing became more general. Texas Com pany, which was up s points at the best, showed a net gain of 4.
 United States Industrial was again the cratic feature, declining 4 1-2 points in the forenoon, making com pIete recovery, then another abrupt decline, closing with a loss of 1 Is. Motor stocks moved irregularly with war issues, at no time displaying more than slight animation. Total sales amounted to O,000 shares. According to forecasts, local banks are likely to show their first loss of cash in several weeks tomorrow. Heavy receipts of gold from Canada will probably be offset by currency shipments to the interior. Call money again ascended to 4 per cent, dupli- eating it's high price of the year in connection with the mid-year shifting of loans.
 Except for Marine 4 1-2s, which made new high record at 106 1-8, the bond market was irregular and fea- tureless. Total sales, par value, ag- gregated s3,120,O00.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call, with sale of coupon threes at 1-4 per cent. concession.
 On a single sale Mexican debenture fours declined to 27 1-2, a decline of 22 12 points from the previous quo tation

Row at Washington Boston Game.

Washington, June 30.-A row be- tween Captain Mcbride of the Wash ington team and Mays, the Boston pitcher, precipitated a clash in the third inning of today's game here that threatened for a time to develop into general fight among the players of the two clubs. The police restored order and after Agnew, a Boston catcher, had been arrested and Captain Me- Bride and Manager Griffith of the Washingtons put off the field the game was resumed, and Boston won, to 1. The trouble started when Mays hit Mcbride with a pitched ball. Me Bride responded by throwing his bat at the pitcher, who almost immediate ly was surrounded by Q score of play CTS. Then the police got into action, but did not reach the angry knot in the center of the diamond until Agnew had hit Griffith in the face. Agnew was taken to police headquarters, where he put up $6O to guarantee his appearance tomorrow in court to an swer a charge of assault
 Mays allowed only two hits during the game, while both Gallia and Ayers were ineffective.

league, in which Sunday games may be played each week and all of the clubs get a cut at the Sunday end, would be about. the only feasible plan. With Sunday ball allowed in New Haven, Bridgeport and Water bury, it looks as if New London, Springfield and Hartford would make good circuit, and all of the clubs would be playing on Sundays
 It is a we1l-Fnow7 fac that Sunday ball is about the only thing that will save the game in thls seclon, ana it is the only means of keeping Bridge port in the present league. Good Sunday crowds would more than make up the losses on week days, and six clubs ought to be able to get by with this plan.

Game at Falls Tomorrow.

The All Norwich baseball team will have pretty tough proposition to- morrow at the Falls diamond when they meet the Elmwoods, an out of town baseball team, consisting mostly of college players, such men as Bra gil. the Penn State college pitcher, who is considered a wonder, and Dick May, the great F'ordham college pitcher, but Manager Herman Bruckner is Conf- dent that his All Norwich team will come out the victors. The great Enot will do the twirling for the local team and it is safe to say that Enot is the best pitcher that ever lived in this town, and the balance of the team is made up of the fastest players in this vicinity. This will be the first home game for the All Norwich team. They have played several games this sea- son, all out of town, and won every game. A very large crowd from New London will be up to cheer for the Elmwoods. The game will start promptly at D. m.
