EDWARD LITTLE h. 8. II; PARIS n. 9.
Many ball game has been Lost In on,
inning, and the game ct Auburn Satur
day afternoon between Paris High AM
Edward Little High was lost By Paris II
The third inning when they allowed TIL
homo team to score seven runs. Il can
not b denied that the Edward Little
batters got TO Merrill In this inning, o.
the other hand the weakness Of tn
present infield WAS brought ont In {
startling manner, and the failure Of Per
ham and Curtis to cover proper amour
Of ground around their positions hur
the teams chances lot. A large par
of the hits credited to Edward Little il
this inning were ground balls that thess
two players could not get 10. Il seeml
to the writer that these balls should
have at least been stopped, even II they
could not have been flelded, and thiI
would have helped q lot.
While the Auburn umpire evidently
intended to be fair, he missed two plays
in the first part of the game that added
runs to the homo teams total. Plays
that were contrary to the rules and were
not matter OF Judgment. One OF these
was when be allowed an Edward Little
batter to continue at the bat after be
had attempted q bunt on the third
strike and it landed on foul ground. The
other play was on slow ground ball bit
toward first base, the base runner allow
ing the ball to bounce and hit him ~ he
ran past it on the way to first. After
that Merrill picked the ball up and
threw to first. The play was close but
in our opinion the runner was again put
out. he was declared safe, and after
wards scored. Thus . man who had
been twice put out was allowed to add
his score to the total Of his team. These
decisions did not set we'll on the Paris
team, nerved them up and affected their
work in the early innings. Later they
got steadied down and played as good
ball a. one could wish to see.
Bolduc pitched good game for Ed
ward Little, held Paris to six hits and
struck out twelve batters. he allowed
four bases on balls and hit one batter.
K. B. Coombs was the leading hitter Of
the day, getting four hits on four times
at the bat, one of them being q double.
Merrill's work in the box for Paris
was also good. He held the home team
scoreless in the last four innings, show
ing the best form in the eighth when
with men on second and third and only
one out, he struck out Dufail and caue-
cd Speakman to 90 out on an easy foul
fiy to Wight. With team behind him
such as Paris put on the field behind
Penfold last year, there is no question
but what he would have been good
enough to have won the game. He Is not
a strike-out pitcher, and is certainly do
ing bis part when he keeps the oppo-
nents hitting the ball where bis team
mates can get hold of it.
After coaching the team one night last
week, q. E. Boucher was obliged to 60
away to work, and the team is still
without coach. However, 1t 10 OK.
pected that another coach will take
them in hand this week, that few
changes will be made In the lineup and
that the team will show moro strength
in its coming games.

EDWARD LITTLE h. s. 0; NORWAY H. 8. Z

EDWARD LITTLE II. 8. 8; NORWAY h. 8. Z.
Edward Little High school team OF
Auburn came up on the train Wednes-
day and played Norway High part Of q
game OF base ball, returning to Auburn
on the 5:07 train. 1t was most unsatis-
factory contest any way one looked at it.
The weather was cold, some rain fell,
the kind of ball played by both teams
was decidedly bad, errors being much
more frequent than were the plays in
which the ball was handled clearly, and
to cap the climax the visitors quit In
the last half of the sixth inning when
they were leading by two runs and when
Norway bad men on second and third
and no one out. II the visitors can get
apy satisfaction In claiming victory on
such conditions they are welcome to 1t.
However, the Norway boys can hardly
expect to win games and play a. loosely
as they did on this occasion. They al
lowed thrown balls and batted balls to
get away from them, they dropped fly
balls, they overthrow first base and In
fact did almost everything that they
ought not to, making eight errors In the
first four innings. That they were able
to make the game close was due to the
fact that the visitors played almost as
poorly as did the home team. It Ii prob
able that the two teams having got this
bad base ball out Of their system will do
better in the future.

 Food Supply

London, Nov. 15, 10:22 D. m.-Walter Runciman, president of the board of trade, in parliament today outlined the governments proposal for dealing with the food problem. MT. Runciman's s speech had significance, aside from it's actual context, as showing that the government is looking forward to protracted hostiitieS and foresees the necessity of timely measures for in suring the national food supply by aA effective organization of national re- sources in a manner similar to that adopted in enemy countries.
 MT. Runciman in his speech an- nounced the imminent appointment of a food controller with full power over all department concerned in food SUD- plies and immediate measures to re- strict the luxurious use of sugar, to prevent waste and the making of large profits in potatoes and milk and to forbid the milling of pure white flour. He said also that the govern the defense of the realm act to deal cessiites.
 These measures, MT. Runciman eX- plained, would be temporary, but if they were found insufficient it might become necessary to have recourse to food tickets.
 The speech of the president of the board of trade was welcomed in all parts of the house. Sir Edward Car son, on behalf of the opposition and George J. Wardlee, for the Laborites agreed that the house was ready to grant the power asked without the formality of bill.

OF BRITISH
 SHIPPING BY SUBMARINES
Subject of Discussion in the House
 of Lords Yesterday.

London, Nov. Is, 9:45 D. ul-The matter of the destruction of British
 shipping by German submarines came
 up in the house of lords this after
 noon. Baron Sydenham invited the
 government to make a declaration in
 the nature of a ton for ton' policy in
 behalf of Great Britain and her allies
 as a reply to the monstrous proceed
 ings" of the German submarines. He
 declared that there was an uneasy
 feeling in the country that the sub
 marine menace was more serious than the authorities were willing to admit.
 Admiral Lord Beresford said that Great Britain had arrived at a seri-
 ous crisis, calling for energy and fore
 sight. It was time for plain speaking, because the house of commons and the newspapers had been muzzled by
 the most autocratic. government since the time Of Pharaoh.
 The Marquis of Crewe, lord pres ident of the council, replying for the government, said it was useless to
 make such declarations as Lords Sydenham and Beresford demanded. without the power to enforce them.
 The only voices which could speak with influence now were the voices of the cannon on the various fronts Tt is useless said the Marquis of Crewe, ito threaten to exact particu- lar separations in the terms of peace 1 unless we are able to impose those | terms by obtaining complete victory" The admiralty, continued the lord
 president, had been singularly suc- cessful in the destruction of enemy submarines, but the difficulties in dealing with this menace had in- creased.
 The Earl of Lytton, civil lord of the admiralty, having denied that the
 fleet had departed from its tradition al policy of seeking out and destroy l ing the enemy, the subject was drop 1 ned
