Eddie Phelps, the former Pittsburgh
catcher5 has fled an application for
the job of managing the Bridgeport
baseball club. Phelps writes that he
has seen service as manager of minor
league clubs and is sure he could make
good with the locals. Phelps would
undoubtedly make a good, man \if it
should happen that Owner Freeman
decides to run the club himself.
Phelps is remembered by old time
fans as a. member of the Danbury club
which cleaned up all corners in the old
Connecticut league days. Terry Rog-
ers, now a, member of the local police
department, was with the Danbury
team and Jack Rose, the gambler who
gained notoriety in the Becker trial,
was manager. Phelps was such a star
with Danbury that he went to the big
league and made good for many\years.
He was the mainstay of the Pitts
-burgh catching staff for several sea-
sons. Phelps last dob as manager was
with Albany of the New York State
league.
Up to the hour of gal1oping to press
there have been enough applications
from prospective managers to form a.
ball club and enough options have
been given to plaster the franchise on
both sides.

The most improved player on the
New York American squad is Roger
Peckinpaugh. The former New Ha-
ven inf1elder made only one hit on the
exhibition tour last season but this
year he has Clipped in with % safe
ties. Peckinpaugh batted .220 in 1915
and if he can add about 20 points to
his average it will mean a lot to his
club.(
The question of allowing clubs in
the same league to play exhibition
games is agitating the baseball mag
mates Just now President Ban John
son of the American. League says he
will prevent it in his league, but
President Teners of the National sees
no harm in the custom. Owner Weigh

trimming from the PhilIies, says he
will never consent to another series.
Many fans think it takes the edge off
the regular season but the magnates

training trips profitable. The Giants

trips of the two clubs from financial
loss.

DEUTSCHLAND IS
WAITING FOR THE
Brennan ARRIVAL

Baltimore, July 23.-More puzzling
than ever were the conditions last
night surrounding the expected depar-
ture Of the supersubmersibe Deutsch-
land. The cargo is all slowed, the I'M
dersea boat is fully proEisioned and
Capt. Koenig and his highly keyed-up
officers and crew are ready and anx-
ious for the orders to sail.
Just before the custom house closed
for the day Saturday, Capt. Hinsch
of the interned North German Lloyd
steamer Neckar. the director Of the
submarine expedition on this side of
the Atlantic, appeared and had con-
ference with the custom house officers.
1t was subsequently reported that
Capt. Hinsch had made applica ton for
clearance papers for the Deutschland.
Collector Ryan the other day stated that
clearance papers would be issued after
office hours to the Deutschland. the same
as to the captain of any other merchant
man making such a special request. Late
Saturday night, however, Clearance Clerk
Thalheimer declared that no application
had been made for clearance papers.
Deutschland will not leave until her sister
merchant submarine arrives safely either
winthin the Maryland capes or at some
other American port.
All Saturday a force of Mechanics had
worked substituting certain of her steel
gears with bronze gears. under the di-
rection Of the man who designed the craft
William Prusse of Bremen. This task
was completed shortly before nightfall.
Look for Early Start
Shipping men interested in the for
tunes Of the ransAtlantic undersea
trader were convinced that the start Of
the Deutschland's dash to Bremen was
not far away. They put significant en-
phasis on the DAYS events around her
pier at Locust Point, for they declared
not only was it nearly certain her voy-
age was about to begin. but they were
equally sure that hidden somewhere
off the Atlantic coast nearby was the
Deutschland's sister ship, the Bremen,
only awaiting secret signal to bob
up in neutral waters close to Balti-
more or another convenient port That
clearance for the Deutschland was not
sooner they insisted. was solely be-
cause the Bremen had not hitherto
succeeded in maneuvering her way in
side the patrols of allied cruisers.

Keeping Of children on the farm"
movement. In the country schools Of
Sank county. Wis, the children make
an inventory Of the agricultural in
vestment Of the townships IN which
they live, and each special feature is
represented on a topographic map
The results are COW maps" corn

cry and farm and home conveniences
In this extensive as we'll as intensive
educational work which together con-
stitute a social survey Of the county.

The rain of Saturday night and the
cloudy weather of Sunday put a stop
to automobile riding in this vicinity.
as there is not a road leading out OF
Waterville that is good for any dis
lance. The state Highway Commission
seems to have forgotten that Water
Vile with its hundreds Of automobiles
is on the map and as a result it takes
a ride of about 20 miles or more from
Waterville to get onto any really
good road. Some of the streets in the
city are good but there are not enough
of them and they are not long enough
to make a chance for an automobile
ride Waterville automobile owners are
considering going to the Legislature
this winter and making an effort to
have some State highway work done
in the vicinity Of Waterville.

KennebeC Journal Ads
Give Practical HELPS

A advertising took on this char
~ acter, and was more and more
aimed to interest and inform,
it gained readers. ousewives
learned that through reading the
advertisements of the stores they
could really learn things about COM
modities and their prices, without
spending needless hours of "shop-
ping" Thus the circle of people in
fuenced by advertisements expand
ed with consistent and solid results.
All life and living tends more and
more to organization, to system, to
efficiency of method. Buying for the
home, almost the last of the great
businesses of the world to come un-
der the sway of ''business methods"
at last felt the impulse toward eff
cheney. The housewife learned that
she, too, was 'in business" and that
she owed it to herself and to those for
whom she acted as buyer to see to it
that her task was performed with ef-
fciency and economy and wise judg-
ment. Thus the circle of people in
fuenced by advertising widened and
expended in greater degree.
And the expansion of the circle
goes on. If merchant holds the at
tention and interest of the people in
this city who read and are Influenced
in their buying by the advertise
ments he need not worry about other
people or 9th er problems.
