BIG DEMAND FOR
 ALL BRITISH TRAwfL FRS.
Old Tubs and Their Masters are Mak-
 ing a Fortune in Fishino.

London, March 2O.-An ancient storm battered trawler with leaking sides and worn out engine is worth more 70 the owner these days than a new splck and span craft with equipment. a dry hold and fast engines. SimI- lariy the one eyed skipper, who had a hard time getting a job before the war, IS in more demand than one without physical defect.
 The reason for this IS that all ser Viceaole trawlers and able-bodIed skipers are shaped up by the admiral- ". Meantime, owing to the shortage or craft the old tubs and their dere- lict masters are making a fortune in hsning. It is true they engage in a risky business and run the chance of ooth mines and submarines. but the reward for a good catch is saveraI times that of the old days.

The superior court for Washington bounty, Judge Barrows, in session al Westerly, gave attention at the open Ing of court Monday morning, to the Islander case of Mrs. Angela Guarinc against Mrs. Vincenzo Coppuccio, ir which it claimed the slanderous words uttered are f'puteno, putenazze, face ii marcheratte." The defendant de- hied uttering the first two words claiming she did not know the words pr their significance, but acknowl- edged that she called Mrs. Guarino face di marcherattee, or masque- rade face. There were several wit nesses on both sides, and most of the testimony taken through an interpre- ter. Judge Herbert w. Rathbun and John J. Dunn appeared for plaintiff and A. T. L. Ledwidge and Samuel H. Davis for defendant.
 Just subsequent to the alleged slan- der Mrs. Guarino and Mrs. Cappuccio engaged in a fight near their home in Pierce street, which was on the morn ing of Oct. 30, 1914. Mrs. Cappuccio brought suit in damages in that case and was awarded Judgment for $200. This islander case is an outcome of the assault case.
 After all the witnesses had been heard, these words became familiar to the court: ''Putana, putanazze, Bchiviusi, and face di nercheratte,
 
 woman, foul, and with a false face. Judge Barrows gave judgment for $25 in favor of plaintiff
 Immediately after this trial still an- other chapter in the feud was com menced, in which Mrs. Vincenza Cap puccio was the complainant, and Jo- seph Guarino, husband of the plaintiff in the previous case was the defend ant. This is another assault case Q counterpart of the first, in which Mrs Cappuccio was awarded a Judgment of $200. In this case MT. Guarino is accused of striking Mrs. CapDuccio with an umbrella across the shoul- ders, at the same time Mrs. Guarino was alleged to be assaulting Mrs. Cap- puccio. In fact this case is a part of that same assault.
 The motion for new trial in the case of Lida A. Thomas against Amos s. Burdick was argued by Judge Rathbun for defendant, and Attorney Roche for plaintiff. This is the cease where the jury returned 3 verdict for $500 for plaintiff. in connection with an automobile accident near the rail- way station. Miss Thomas was knocked down and iniura9 by an au- tomobile driven by Burdick Judge Barrows reserved his decision.

How About Scott?

No great amount of spaca w.s
wasted before this series started ox-
planning the abiding value of Everett
Scott. He was mentioned in the dis
patches, and that is about all.
But long before the fourth eamo
had been played the Red SoX young
tser was being rated with the best in
the game. Maranville nor Peckin-
paugh, recognized as two of the
greatest inielders, could have covered
no more ground.
why isn't Duffy Lewis rated as
a Speaker or q Cobb?' queries a fan
who limits most Of his baseball to
world series play Duffy is a queer
bird in the profesh. He has about
everything Speaker or Cobb have eX-
cept thNir ambition. Blessed with vast
quantities Of nerve, he hasn't a rup-
pie in his nervous system. He is mere
ly content to drift along until some
big occasion arises. But ask any
member Of the Tiger or White Sox
teams how Duffy looks in an import
ant series
If Duffy had the vital spark afiame
in his manly breast he would be only
q half stride below Ty or iris.

RUCKER QUITS DIAMOND
Grand Old Man of Robins Announces
His Retirelnent-He'S Through and
Knows 1t.

Brooklyn, Oct. 14.-Nap Rucker,
Brooklyns grand old man, who
pitched two successful worlds series
innings last Thursday announced
his retirement yesterday. Rucker, in
his dav the greatest left handler of
the National league, is only 81 years
old but he worked his arm out with
= second division club. During the
rast three seasons he pitched only
after long intervals. George Ma
poleon served just ten years in Eb-
bets service.
Il know when 1 am through" said
Rucker yesterday. while / have been
pitching off and on for the last few
years it is too big a strain. After I
pitch a game my arm just hangs for
fifteen days"
Rucker says he has no baseball
plans ahead. He says he is sorry to
leave Ebbets and the club, and ex-
tends his thanks to the Brooklyn fans
for their kindness to him.
Rucker was drafted by Ebbets in
the fall Of 1905 from the Augusta
South Atlantic league club Connie
Mack had an option on the Augusta
club that year for any player he
should care to select. His choice
rested between Rucker and another
pitcher, Holmes. Mack selected
Holmes. Had he selected Rucker,
Maps career might have been vastly
different.

Wind of the Night of Autumn, blown
from a starless track,
Whispering there in the darkness
where the shadows whisper back,
Why must you haunt my easement,
under the rain-wet caves,
With voices of ghosts forgotten in the
rustic Of withered leaves?
Wind of the Night of Autumn, calling
me as you creep,
Whispering here in the shadows
where the dark of the night is
deep,
Crying of days forgotten, signing for
dreams long sped,
Why must you blow gray ghosts again
from graves Of the vanished dead?
There is a Voice in the shadows, a
a Voice from a vanished day,
A song from the heart of springtime,
blown from the fields of May,
Clear as the woodland ripple from the
roll of q silver stream,
Till the night is sweet with music and
the dark with an old, old dream.
There is q Dream in the shadows, Of
eyes with the violet stain,
Of lips as red as the roses rinsed in
an April rain;
But when with an oldtime greeting,
I turn from the open CRATE,
Only the wind is calling, and only
the shadows wait.
Wind of the night Of Autumn, here I
have come for rest
For space in the gloom Of my lone
some room as a worn bird seeks
it's nest;
Why must you haunt my easement,
under the rain-wet caves,
With voices of ghosts forgotten in
the rustic Of withered leaves?
