Double Defeat Blasts Pat
Moran's Hopes of
Leading.
JEFF PFEFFER AT
TOP OF SPEED
First Contest Easy for Robins,
While Second Develops
Into Real Thriller.
BY FRANK O'NEILL.

The Brooklyn Robins stood the acid
test applied by the champion Phillies
at Ebbets Field yesterday. and still
hold their position as leaders Of the
National League.
Coming out of what threatened to de-
velop into a disastrous losing streak,
the Robins hurled back the champions
in both games of double header, win
ming so decisively that not even the
most captious could find cause for COM
plant. had the Phillies won they
would have stepped into the lead, while
the Dodgers would have fallen into
second position. The scores were TO
and TO 8, respectively.
Just as Brooklyn had been beaten in
a double header on Tuesday, through
hard. effective and sequential hitting,
il won to-day. In the first game. with
Ed Pfeffer az his best. the result was
never in doubt. The Robins found the
delivery Of George McQuillsn much to
their liking, and, disposing Of him in
few rounds. had quite a merry time.
He retired in favor of Rube Chalmers,
who could not prevent the home team
from scoring one run. The second was
"a thriller from start TO finish, and was
won with two savage outbursts Of
power that would not be denied.
Bitter Blow for Moran.
This double reverse was bitter blow
for Pat Moran, who confidently ex-
pected to lead his team into battle
against the Braves in the Quaker City
to-day with first place honors in his
possession. But there was Grover Al
exsnder to oppose the mighty Pfeffer,
and in the second engagement, a mad
mixture Of base hits, errors, stolen
bases and runs, the combination of
Smith, Dell and Marquard proved more
effective than Chief Bender, the last OF
the Chippewas, and Erskine Mayer.
The Brooklyn team wabbled and tot
tered on unsteady feet at times in this
second game. but the Phillies were
even less powerful, and so it was that
Moran's dream Of empire vanished into
cold. thin ether.
jeff Pfeffer was at the top of his
game. and that is explanation sufficient
for the defeat OF the Quaker City out
fit. lie allowed only two hits, single
by Paskert and double by Niehoff.

other Quaker City raiders got on the
lines. Cravath through grace of Olson's
error and Cooper on a bobble by Cut
shaw in the ninth. Whitted and Ban
croft brought the total up to six, and
they saw first because they forced
Cravath and Cooper, respectively. Pfef-
fer gave no bases on balls, and he re
Trained from taking a pot shot at any
one.
This gilt-edged pitching was backed
by a support which was brilliant at
times and uniformly steady through
out. Mike Mowrey was at his red
headed best, and he got a couple of
stops which turned apparently certain
hits into outs at the bag. II has been
prophesied that Nike will blow when
the heat comes, to which prophecy
Nike replies in his own characteristic
manner: "Skittles, the hot weather is
my dish"
Working right along with Mowrey
was Ivan Olson. who has once more
taken the place Of Ollie O'Mara. Ivy

BIG DUAL REGATTA
ON THAMES TO-DAY
Eli Freshman Four Beaten In
One-Mile Race - Record
Crowd Expected.
By W. o. MGEEHAN.

New London. Conn. June EFF con-
fdcnce, backed by money, indicates
anything Harvard should win the var
sity race In the fftieth dual regatta
tomorrow by about seven lengths, which
is about the distance by which Yale
triumphed last year. The betting has
now veered 10 TO 1. with Yale money
fighting shy Of the hotel Hobbies.
Overnight indications are that many
Of the visitors will sleep picturesquely
but uncomfortably around the docks.
The hotels reserved even the last bill
lard tables many days ago. New Lon
don is ready for the record regatta
crowd with both hands extended. There
are more yachts and craft of various
designs in the harbor this year than
have ever modified for a regatta.
II Harvard wins the varsity this
year il will mean that Yale is in a bad
way as far as athletics 20. This nauti-
cal event is about the only thing that
the young men from Cambridge have
not taken from the New Haven sth-
letes. Also it is the fftieth dual re-
gatta. Harvard having won twenty-four
and Yale twenty-five.
Short Paddles impossible.
A brisk breeze rufled the Thames
this afternoon and made even short
paddles impossible. Starter William
Meikelham went up the river TO put
the crews though the starting practice
At Red Top the Harvard men went
through the getaway drill. Later the
Yale men started for the practice gun
near Gales Ferry.
The confidence Of the Harvard crew
took sarcastic turn this morning.
When the betting was still 10 TO o,
with the Crimson favorite, the mem
bers OF the Harvard crew dispatched
an emissary TO Gales Ferry with $500
and a note which read TO this effect:
Eve are sending $500 which we wish
20 bet at even money. We would send
more, but we are quite sure that this
is all that you have"
For a few moments the Yale crew
considered the propriety Of tieing a
rock to the messengers neck and
quietly dropping him into the river;
but instead they dug into the lockers
and produced $500 n cover the bet.
New Haven is not such a long walk
from here, and there was some chance
that they might not lose.

JOHN ELLIOTT BURIED
Perpetrator of Double Murder Has No Funeral Service Beyond Prayer Read by Church Official.

 In the abSe~ce 0s . clergyman. a member of the official board of a church in the town of Thompson, read a prayer which constituted the funeral service. Not a person was present ex- cepting the reader of the prayer the undertaken and his assistant.
 The body was conveyed to the East Putnam cemetery, where MT. Walker and his assistant, aided by the sexton, lowered the plain unadorned into a grave beside that of Elliott's mother Notwithstanding the atrociousness of Elliott's crime and the end to which he came after suffering great physical pain from the wound he inflicted upon himself, there was something pa thetic in the sight of his coffin being borne away with no others present ex- cepting those necessary to see that he was given decent burial.
 'T am sick of life,' was one of the last statements that Elliott made at the Cunningham place before leaving to commit a crime that shocked the county: and in ending it he bore out the prophecy made by Miss Ann Cum ningham. after the crime and before his capture, that he would kill him. self.

DanieIson bank and that he had done so without authority from the select men, as it was afterwards decided he must have authority. There was no loss of money in the transaction, but it did practically strip the town treas ury of money needed to meet current expense accounts.
 Following the argument of a demur- Ter in the case, which was proceeding toward a trial in the superior court, the courts decision was in favor of the town. In instituting the case an att tachment was placed on MT. East ment's farm. Although MT. Eastment some time since resigned as town treasurer, the attachment has never been released For some time past MT. Eastment has had an opportunity to sell his farm. This fact became known to the seIectmen of Brooklyn and not being at all anxious to embar- rass MT. Eastment in his chance to sell his property, they readily agreed to the withdrawal of the suit and the re- lease of the attachment automatically follows.
 There was to have been a special town meeting of the citizens of Brook lyn Saturday to pass on the matter of withdrawing the suit, but in order that MT. Eastment might not be at all hin- dered in completing the sale of his farm, the seleetmen acted Wednesday, bringing the matter to a close.

HAS 22s MEMBERS
Chamber of Commerce to Start Cam paign to Add to This List-The Years Achievements.

The annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce will be held Thursday evening, May IS, followed by a mem bership campaign. ending with a ban quet. This was determined at a meet ing of the directors held at the rooms Monday evening. Plans were made to present to the annual meeting a re- port of the years work, which has been most successful; to provide the organization with a revised set of by laws; and to put the chamber in shape to do even better work for the flu ture.
 Notices will go out this week to all members, giving the particulars. The directors. have made it their business the past few weeks to study the or ganization and methods of other suc- cessful civic bodies. They have had visits from Prof. Alfred L. Smith, di- rector of the Tuck School of Admin istration and Finance of Dartmouth College; John e. orcutt of the Boston Chamber of Commerce; and A. H. An dreWs of the New Britain Chamber of Chamber of Commerce Of the United Chamber of oInmerce of the United States of America, and with coInmer- cial secretaries, has given them the benefit of the best experience of the country.
 On the basis of this information. they have prepared bylaws that con form to the principles of the model set forth by the national organization of commercial executives; modified to meet Putnam conditions The past two years, when the local body was getting on its feet, little attention was paid to matters of form; and the old bylaws were made to do duty It is felt that the time has come to have code that will be adequate to grow ing needs. Dues will be arranged to give sufficient income, but at a rate that will allow any man who is inter- ested to afford membership.
 There are now 226 members, and the dirctors believe that there are scores of men left out who are equally in terested and equally good material. A campaign to enlist their support will be energetically made. It has been determined not to pay outside organizers to secure them, as such an rectors mean to save the members money in every possible way
 The dinner is planned in response to demapd on the part of some mem bers, and in the belief that 1t will be popular Those who attend will pay for their meal, as it is not good prac- tice to use treasury funds for this purpose.
 In year the membership has been more than doubled, and the income quadrup1ed. An office has been open ed and maintained, and g0od business methods adopted.
 Among the accomplishments have been the following: Leading the cam paign for a trade school building; launching the building and loan asso- citation: eliminating unproftable ad- vertising; managing two bargain days; securing the Eclipse Manufa curing company; managing the community Christmas tree; giving free lectures; and furnishing a meeting place for meetings such as building and loan directors, playground committee, town bonding committee, Scout officials trade school building committee, and for the U. s. navy recruiting officer examinations for civil service, and the distribution of town reports.
