PUTNAM DEFEATS KlLLINCLY
In Basketball Series for the Title of Qunebaug 22 to 21-Danielson Five Enters Protest

of both teams ana ,,Ine racKer urafen- ing every minute, Putnam supporters disregarding an implied agreement not to indulge in any such din as was the case when they last came here, a1- though they kept KilEng1y supporters muzzled (almost) at the game in Put nam. Killfng1y isn't entitled to any compliments, either, for being quiet at either game.
 AS for the game itself. as a contest 1t was exciting enough to suit the most rabid. At the end of the first half Killing1y was leading 16 to Il. In the second half Putnam gradually crawled up and eventually passed Killingiy. Captain Reddy, who was put out of the game in Putnam after exchanging blows with Captain Lowe of the Put nam team, who again elected Saturday night afer taking a wallop at Lom- bardo, who, 1t Is claimed by one oi the Killingly men, first tried to hit Reddy and missed. Incidentally, it ia admitted that Reddy should have been put out of the game before he was for personal faults. With him, say the same critics, should have gone Angell, the big husky player that Killingly claims ineligible. AngelPs riding" was what was objected to.
 From men-Danielson men-who are good judges of basketball and good sports, too-comes the opinion that the Putnam team had a shade on Killing ly in that the visitors were stronger and able to stand the gaff of a gruel- ing game better-and that they did.
 Whatever Justification there may be for Killingly's protests, and there cer- tainly is justification at least so far as the inefffciency of the referee and um-

DEAL JUSTLY WITH
 ALL THE PEOPLE.
There is No Better Defense Prepara- tion, Says Rev. E. George Riddle.

There can be no better preparation for the perpetuity of a nation than in dealing justly with all people of the government. Unfortunately 1t must be confessed that our government deals unjustly with the negro race, race that has always been loyal, patriotic and true to the flag, even when the flag sheltered the infamous slave sys- of the Mckinley avenue A. M. B. Zion church, Sunday evening before a good sized congregation.
 In part, Rev. MT. Riddle said:
 The entire country. north, south, east and west is agitated over the subject of preparedness for defensive war. Not that there Is any sentiment abroad for aggressive warfare, but that we should be prepared to defend our land. our possessions and our com merce.
 This we think is seasonable and right, just as it Is for man to defend from assault his home, the honor of his wife and children. This is in keep ing with the teaching of the Bible as we understand 1t.
 So we think the pulpit should stand with those who are urging essential assault that might be made against us as a nation.
 There can be no better preparation for the perpetuity of a nation than in OealDB Wlln all lne O1 the government. Unfortunately if must be confessed that our government deals unjustly with the negro race, a race that has always been loyal, pa triotic and true to the flag, even when the flag sheltered the infamous slave system.
 As a race we never furnished an assassin or an anarchist, and yet we are discriminated against most out rageously. Doors of honor and profit are closed against us simply on ac- count of our color.
 No colored men are allowed in the artillery and coast defense Is this dealing justly with a loyal people? The doors of West Point and Annapolis are closed against us, thus preventing and hindering the proper development of the race. We have at least two mill | lion men of our race who would be called upon to fight for our country. | But what is the government doing | toward preparing these men to defend the flag?
 What visions of expansion for these United States have come to leading citizens, statesmen and historians? If righteousness shall be the chief char acteristic of our country. no vision of | honor, glory and power shall be too broad: but this, of all lands, will be the | land of the free and the home of the | brave

Throw Away Your
 Eye-Glasses!
A Free Prescription You Can Have Filled and Use at Home

Do you wear glasses? Are you a
 victim of eye-strain or other eye-weak-
 nesses? If so, you will be glad to know
 that there is real hope for you. Many
 whose eyes were failing say they have had their eyes restored through the principle of this wonderful free pre- scription. One man says, after trying 1t: T was almost blind; could not see to read at all. Now I can read every thing without any glasses and my eyes do not water any more. At night they would pain dreadfully; now they feel fine all the time; It was like a miracle 'The atmosphere seemed hazy with or without glasses, but after using this prescription for fifteen days everything seems clear. I can even read fine print without glasses" It is believed that thousands who wear glasses can now discard them in a reasonable time, and multftudes more will be- able to strengthen their eyes as to be spared the trouble and expense of ever getting glasses. Eye troubles of many descrip- lions may be wonderfully benefited by the prescription: Go to Lee & Osgood or to any active drug store and get bot tic of Optona. Fill two ounce bottle with warm water, drop in one Optona tablet and allow to dissolve. With this liouid, bathe the eyes two to four times daily You should notice your eyes clear up perceptibly right from the start and inflammat ton will quickly dis appear If your eyes are bothering you, even a litt1e take steps to save them now before 1t is too late. Many hope lessly blind might have been saved if they had cared for their eyes in time.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET.
Short Session Was Affected by the ln-
 ternationaI Aspect.

New York, March 11.-Mexican af- fairs and reports of further submarine activities in the European war zone clouded today's short session of the stock exchange, the trading element evidently viewing these developments with misgivings, while investors held altogether aloof. Prices were mainly higher at the opening, but as usual gains were almost wholly restricted to specialties and denoted manipulation rather than actual demand.
 Crucible Steel led the list on it's brief advance, but fell back later when the market receded under selling of Reading, New York Central and South crn Pacific. Metal shares were tenn porarily lifted to higher levels, with especial activity in American Zinc and Butte and Superior, but these issues also lost ground.
 The last half of the session was ex- tremely apathetic, with material recov- cries from minimum prices of the first hour, chiefly as result of short cover ing. United States Industrial Alcohol was prominent among the high priced specialties gaining 4 IA points, but losing more than half of this later.
 The partial betterment toward the close was ascribed to an authoritative denial by an international banking house of recent rumors that another large international credit was contem- plaUeQ. IOIal sales or SCOCkS amounted to 238,0 900 shares.
 Steadiness was shown by Americans in the London market, but reports were current of further offerings of these issues for German and Dutch ac- counts. There was nothing in the rate of exchange, however, to bear out such reports.
 Week end news of a general charac- ter included the reviews of the mer- camille agencies, which were of the same hopeful tenor as those of recent weeks, showing sustained activity ir numerous lines of industry and un- abated demand.
 Local bank loans showed an actual decrease of $18,464,00O, with an in- crease of about $31, 900, 900 in demand and time deposits and a slight decrease of reserves.
 Bonds were steady on very light of- fertngs. Total sales, par value, aggre- gated $1,110, 900.
 United States bonds weer unchanged on call during the week.

pire of the game is concerned, many, followers of the sport here would pre- fer to hand, Putnam the championship and the cup and add cheer for the victors rather than have a team of this town accused of whining when it is whipped. But this is a school affair and it's adjustment lies with school and league officials, not with the fans. With the word that neither Wiley nor Rellerose are competent officials, this also admitted by many in Putnam, the adjustment if possible of the differ enoes will be awaited with interest.
 Referee Wiley stirred up such re- sentiment among KiIlingly fans that they tried to "get" him before he left the hall, and he and Umpire Bellerose had to be accorded police protection while boarding @ car for their respec- tive homes in Webster and North Grosvenordale. Their danger, how ever, was from the crowd, not from students.
 The weakness of Killtngly's case lies in that 1t did not protest Angen before he played, if at all, 1t being known that he was going to play, and that the ability of Wiley and Bellerose as bas- ketball officials was also known from experience throughout the season.
