ROW AT EAST END FIELD.

What looked like a certain victory for the Cubs, an amateur nine of unusual ability. in their game with the Trailers of Hartford at the East End field yesterday afternoon was spoiled by a row. First there was a dispute over an alleged strike. Hartford was at bat at the time and the visitors took exception to the umpire's interpretation of the pitch, and then a number of spectators. said to be members of the Rangers, started more trouble by kidding the visitors.
 While the game lasted it was all New Britain with Nirmo pitching for the home team. Geetersloh started for the Trailers, but was forced to give way to Hoffman. The latter was an improvement but still no wizard and the Cubs came tum bling across the plate in routine order until the fight started. Nothing worse than feelings were hurt. The Cubs want a chance with the Pirates of Hartford and would play next Saturady. Sun day they will play the Pilgrims of Hartford at Colts park.

LEAGUE MEETING.
Societies Interested In Bowling Will Meet Tn Jr. O. IT. A. NJ. Hall.

Tho various societies that are to be represented in the Fraternal Bowling League this winter will be held to- night in Jr. o. U. A. M. hall. The representatives are expected to ap- point committee to arrange a schedule of games as well as a mum Der of other important details Ln- less the matter of a hall can be ar ranged the games will have to be played after the various lodge meet ings. It would be far more con- venient to have all the games played in one hall as this would save a lot of bother
 This being the first year of the league everything points to great success and after the important work of arranging the schedule, things will move along with greater ease. Many local societies played carpet bowls during the past winter and it is due to this display of interest that the placing of bowling on firm footing has been brought about All so- cieties represented arc enthusia stio and some good games may be looked for during the schedule.

Man Eaters and Such.

Jack Dillon may be a man eater but he evidently doesn't care a lot for the flesh of Battling Levinsky. He has taken a bite or two out of the battler but has yet to make anything like a full meal.
 At their last meeting it was Levin sky who came near devouring the devourer as the Battling Person out pointed Dillon by almost as wide a margin as Dillon carried over Moran
 Two months ago it was figured a certainty that if Willard retired, oM- ran would be his successor
 Two weeks ago the belief was gen. eral that Dillon. not Moran, would be the next President of the Punch Republic.
 And then enters Battling Levinsky Life is entirely too complex already during these steamy days to pursue the subject any further.

The game was played in Plainville and Shroedel the Paw nee tfirler, had the Plainyille con- tingent eating out of his hand, allow ing but four hits. The PaWnees got away with the crack of the bat in the first inning and were never headed until four runs came over the pan.

He is not only a fine outfielder, fast as streak with a wonderful arm, but if he doesn't bat over .35O this year I am a bad guesser."
 So far the Chief has made good with a rush in the Prophet league. Robertson has been the star of his circuit and at his present rate Of speed it is no certainty that Cobb, Speaker or Jackson will beat him. Dave is not only faster than all three of the A. l.. stars mentioned but he is younger and far more powerful in a physical way.

Mack and ShaWkey.

We have often wondered why Con- nie Mack never turned Bob ShaWkey away Here was a young pitcher that he had found and started to de- velop; a young pitcher that both Ben der and Coonnbs pronounced as one of the finds of the game; a clean liv- ing, hard working, earnest type with a world of mbition-just the type that Connie cares most for.
 Shawkey has been a vast aid to Donovan this season-having helped a bit more than the records show. He is beyond any doubt one of the best right handlers in the game and one who is overlooking no oppor- tunity to improve his pitching and develop his talent

"Go One and All"

Charley Dooin broke into baseball exactly eighteen years ago. The flaming haired catcher served Phila- delphia thirteen years before he was finally sent away and while never hard hitter was one of the brainy backstoppers of the game. Dooin is still in good condition and is only 36 years old Yet his day as a major leaguer is over. He has served four years of his time as a big league manager and his hope is still to get one more trial under the Big Top in a managerial role.
 Charley Herzog could make four canteloupes grow where only one grew before, but leading Reds out of the wilderness into the Promised Land is another assignm ent.

Now that the hard fought day is
 ended,
 With laurels for the favored few; The cheering and the jeering blended In praise or blame that may be due; Now that the score has been com
 pleted
 Beyond the shallow dept of Fame, Among both victors and defeated, We'll turn to these who played the
 game. Not in the losing or the winning, Success nor failure for the day, But from the battles first beginning We'll take their work up, play by
 play; How we'll they tried-how they stood
 ready
 Beyond the world crowds narrow sight,
 We'll lift our glasses, bravely, steady, And drink to those who've fought
 the fight To those who know their fame is over To those who so well love the fight Though they might dwell in summer
 clover,
 They hold the line against the 11SnL, To those who know that glory S feeting, A gray. ghost on a phantom barge, Who give their best and take their beating,
 To come again for one more charge. We have quite a bit of faith in the expert who says he can tell to the day when the European war will end and just who will finish first. But for the expert who says he can pick the winner of the Aneric league i race we have nothing but derision and 1 jeers-not to say a hoarse guffaw de- noting in incredulity.
