PITCHER PAT GREEN, FORMER NEW LONDONER,
 IS RESTING SORE ARM

Lowell July 10-Pitcher Paddy Green. who has been suffering with sore arm during the greater part of the season, has asked leave to go to his home near Springfield until such time as he will be again fit to take his regular turn in the box for the Lowell club. Green has started number of games this season with indifferent success owing to the lame wing He is a. good workman when right and a rest may bring him back to his old form. President Roach granted the big pitchers request.
 ( George Spires. recently deposed manager of thes( Hartford team in favor of the veteran Jesse Burkett, is to return to the Lowell club at an early date. He will probably cover second base. Spires is the property of Lowell and was loaned to the Hart ford team early in the season when the locals had a surplus of infield ma terial. His recall ought to strength- en Lowell to a marked degree. Spires was rated as one of the best third sackers on the New England, circuit last season.. He came here when the Manchester outfit was absorbed by Lowell. 4r.

The matinee excursions to Port Jefferson on the steamer Park, City" are very popular and people who go once and enjoy this trip are always ready to go again. The steamer is filled daily with merry party and the sail is hugely enjoyed. The steamer is kept neat and it takes a good clip from the start and skips across the water in a most ambitious manner. Capt. Tooker has followed the sea for about 50 years and knows 1t like a book. His trips are as regular as clock work. The steamer leaves the wharf at the foot of Fairfield avenue at 1:30 p. m. every day. returning leaves Port Jefferson 4:s0 p. m. ar irving in Bridgeport at p. m.

HOWARD DREW, CRACK
 COLORED SPRINTER, IS > AFTER KELLY'S SCALP

Worcester, July 10LHoward Drew, Springfield's sensational sprinter. has been heard from on the coast. He is anxious to arrange for race with Andy Kelly of Holy Cross, who made such a fine, showing this year at the intercollegiates in Springfield. Their records for the hundred are at present both the same, 4-5 seconds. Drew says that if Kelly is really. running the century in that time race be- tween the two of them would make a fine tilt, and force the one or the other of them to get down to that g 3-5 mark. /
 the time of the eastern states exposi- tion's big fair, as he will perform in the A. A. U. championship in Newark, August 26, and there seems to be no reason why this interesting race can not be Scheduled as one of the fea- ture attractions at the opening show on the new grounds.
 Then there is always a possibility that one of the track meets held eith- CT on Labor or Columbus Day would furnish the opportunity. Pratt Field track in Springfield would be an ideal place for the sprinters to race on, as both are familiar with it. The cali Der of the two sprinters is sufficiently high to make such meeting of nation al interest. Drew is always a draw ing card for Springfield people, and after his long absence from his na- tive city, running enthusiasts will be more anxious than usual to see him perform. In Kelly he would proba- b1y find, the doughtiest opponent he has ever met. Kelly, too, is well known there. through his visit to the city at the fntercollegiates this spring.
 No definite steps have been made yet to bring the two sprinters together at this time. Mt is known, however. that Drew is always glad to be in Springfield, and it is, believed that Kelly would welcome any opportunity to meet the famous Springfield boy.

Revive Proposition For Tunnel Under Channel

London, July 10.-The old project fish channel to connect England with the continent has again been revived. Plans are on foot for a meeting of a large number of members of Parlia- ment to consider how far the scheme can be furthered at present with a view to putting it into execution at the end of the war. The decision of the Allies Trade Conference to ea- tablish rapid land and sea transport services at low cost is said to have a direct bearing on the revival of the matter.

MANY AMERICANS SHOT AT VERDUN
 WITH ALLY ARMY
Ranks of Canadian Legions Filled with American Adventures

British Headquarters, France, July 20-American citizens have seen hot ter fighting in the last two weeks than any American since the App0matox campaign. They have endured as heavy shell fire as the German guns ever directed at the British front and know what it was to charge into the German trenches with bayonet and bomb in pouring rain through the mud in the small hours of the morning.
 There are more Americans scatter ed among the Canadian pattalions than most people realize. Some, of these were living in Canada when the war began; someN crossed the border and enlisted for the sake of being in a blow for the Allies. a uniform a Canadian recruiting agent did not ordinarily bother, if he were a sound mah, which side of. the border he came from.

The long expected thunder shower
struck the city at about o'clock Thurs
day afternoon and it was a good one
while it lasted and sent everyone hurry
ing for cover. The storm did no. last a
great while but during the time 1t was in
progress considerable quantity Of rain
fell. 1t held off just long enough so that
the new work on Silver street was COM
pleted and in readiness so that the rain
did not do it any damage. Very few peo-
pie in this vicinity had a great deal Of hay
out but there was some and it did more
or less damage to that So far as was
learned Thursday evening there was no
damage in this vicinity by the lightning.

The North End was treated to a lively
runaway at shortly after noon Thurs
day when a heavy team belonging to
Thomas & Stevens and loaded with
lumber made a dash through Railroad
square The team had been loaded from
a car and the lumber was to be taken
to the new house which H. n. Beach is
building on College avenue. The horses
were frightened by an approaching en-
CINE and started on wild run across
the square dragging the heavy load be-
hind them. About half way across they
can in contact with a large telephone
pole and the wagon went over on its
side, the horses with the front wheels
attached swinging around and making
a dash through Chaplain street. Near
the plant of the Kennebec Boat & Ca
noe Co. they cleared themselves from
the front wheels by landing them
against tree and then continued
around into Main street where they
were caught. The total damage done
was very small, including reloading the
lumber, a few straps on the harnesses
and one new piece of the wagon.

a loafng spot for tramps for a long time

buildings on the campus and to the whole
North End Of the city and everyone is
pleased to see it removed. Like all build
ings that were constructed many years
ago 1t has much good timber in it, many
Of the beams and rafters being fully as
good as when they were put in place and
much better than the ones that are put
in buildings now. The lumber in the
building has been sold and will be used
in other work in the city.

armies has improved enormously and
is continuing to improve.
The British navy until recently has
absorbed more than half Of the metal
workers Of this country. The task Of
building new ships and repairing the
old ones for the gigantic navy and fit
ting and equipping them occupies the
energies Of a million men. Most Of our
new factories are now complete; most
of the machinery has been set up. Hun
dreds ofthousands o. men and women,
hitherto unaccustomed to metal and
chemical work, have been trained for
munitions making.
Every month we are turning out
hundreds of guns and howitzers, light,
medium and heavy. Our heavy guns are
rolling in at a great rate and we are
turning out nearly twice as much am
munition in a single week-and, what
is more. nearly three times as much
heavy shell-as we fired in the great
offensive in September. although the
ammunition we expended in that bat
tie was the result Of many weary
weeks accumulation.
The new factories and workshops
we have set up have not vet attained
one-third their full capacity, but the
output is now increasing with great
rapidity. Our main difficulties in or
ganization. construction equipment
labor supply and readjustment have
been solved. If officials, employers
and workmen keep at it with the same
zeal and assiduity as they have here
tofore employed our supplies soon will
be overwhelming.
Il cannot help thinking that the i'm
provement in the Russian ammunition
has been one Of the greatest and most
unpleasant surprises the enemy has
sustained. Still, our task is but half
accomplished. Every great battle
furnishes additional proof that this is
a war Of equipment. More ammuni :
ton means more victories, and fewer
casualties"
