 Norwich proof is what you want and the statement of this highly re- spected resident will banish all doubt:
 Wn. H. Brown, Fox Hill, near ston- ington Road, Norwich, says: "My back and kidneys have given me con siderable trouble for eight or ten years. My work was heavy and this used to aggravate the trouble. I mo- ticed it mostly after my days work, when my back felt weak and tired. Sharp pains caught me when I stopped and mornings my back was lame and sore.

of their stand in relation to dates, etc. The time of the Poughl1eepsie regatta was too early, but it was then or never. At New London the crowd on the train saw the freshman race only because of delay due to a bad start on the first attempt. Then, too, should the POughkeepsie course be used in the future, as seems almost certain. because of COlumbias invest ment in a boathouse there, the races should be rOWed further out in the stream to get more even condition. The present course is unfair, as the rowing coaches generally agree
 Wilmington, the old Harvard oar, is slated to succeed Dr. Ehler as phy- sical director, and he favors intercol- legiate rowing. Wisconsin should be a factor, as this spring it had seven teen eights rowing daily. Rowing there has been aided by the tempor- ary banishment of intercollegiate races.
 Should the Poughkeepsfe affair de- velOp to a point where the stewards would hold more races at shorter dis tanCes, and in fours, pairs and even singles it would see a new spirit be- hind intercollegiate rowing which would do much to pOpularize it with the public With the racing limited to eights the cost is too great for the smaller institutions.
 All in all it has been the greatest year college rowing has ever seen. It has proved that American methods have developed beyond the English graduates have the ability to master the science of rigging, training and strokes. This will do much to break up the old jealOusies between the diff ferent rowing corps and clear the way for more. sport in the future.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SPECIAL STOCKS ELEVATED.
Marines Coming Back After Drop
 Caused By British War Tax.

New York, July 21-In it's chief es- sentials tOday's market Was largely repetition of the sessions immediately preceding. Special stocks, mainly munitions, industrial equipment and motors, were elevated to variably higher levels partly as 9 result of ac- tiVity by pools and cliques and metals responded to more favorable news re- garding foreign trade conditions.
 The only exception to the previous days irregular trend was offered by shipping shares. Marines regafned much of the severe losses which fol- lowed the announcement of the heavy British war tax, with further activity in United Fruit and Atlantic, Gulf & West Indies, the latter coming within a small fraction of it's high quotation.
 Rails once more moved contrary to the general trend, ruling inactive and mostly heavy. Suggestions of addt- tiOnal foreign liquidation of these is sues, inspired to an extent by further heavy receipts from London, exercised a reViVing influence. COalerS and eastern trunk lines yielded moderate fractions and International issues, in cluding Pacifics, registered similar de- cEnes on small offerings.
 U. s. Steel was subordinate in ac- tivity to the shipping stocks, Crucible Steel and Baldwin Locomotive, all closed slight fractions over or under
 
 or at least the speculative element, is of the opinion that no extra dividend disbursement will be paid for the sec Ond quarter despite extraordinary earnings.
 Total sales of stocks, 420,OOO shares.
 Indications point to a further cash lll- crease by local banks for the week, al though forecasts differ as to the extent of expansion. In addition to the con- tinuous inflow of foreign gold, New York institutions have received fairly large sums from interior sources. This condition was reflected in another re- duCtiOn of time money rates from the abnOrmally high levels of last week.
 More frmness in Francs and a slight shading of marks, both on nominal operations, were the only changes in rates for continental markets.
 Bonds were irregular, International issues following the course of stocks. Total sales, par value, $1,670,000
 U. s. bonds unchanged on call.

In the ninth inning with two men on bases, Rousch tripIed bringing in the two runs necessary to tie the score, but in trying to score the winning run he was caught at the plate. Kntezer relieved Schnei fer in the tenth and after Stock and Good had singled Whitted reached first on a sacrifice filling the bases, Knetzer then passed Bancroft forcing Stock across the plate. Good then scored on an infield out. Killifer doubled in. the second inning with three men on bases.

JENNINGS WANTS BALL
 FANS TO BEHAVE
Hughie Would Curb the Vocal Activ-
 ities of Fans.

While Ban Johnson remains silent
 for the once and leaves each feature
 of the pastime be, the silence in the
 junior circuit waxes oppressive, so
 much that one of the lesser sateIi-
 lites must needs break it. Hughey
 Jennings has dOnned the plaintiff toga
 and is declaiming claims that all the
 world may hear. But HUghey is not pausing from his "Eeyah" to cOm- municate words of needless import
 Hughey's song bears solemn and amazing truth in it-a truth which every constant visitor of a ball park has observed.
 Jennings would curb the vocal ac- tivities of the more and even less prOfane fans. He fails to see why the gentleman underneath the stands should heap insult on the head of the gentleman underneath the sun. The riding, in6ulged in by some of the baseball boosters does not meet with the diaapprovaI of the Detroit pilot. To wax collOquial one would say that it's the nedeIess abuse which drives his goat from the goatery. Stop fan from yelling and mak- ing a noise and you take the color from the game" he rises to remark "Often after the opposing team makes
 rally somebody will yell from the stand How do you like that, eh 9 and all I can do is to try and come back"
 But the erstwhile attorney feels differently about the rowdyism He wants the game made as Ban John son has tried to make it-a fit place to take your wives and sweethearts, one at a time, of course. Insulting the players he would stamp out com pletely. He suggests that plain clothes
 men should be placed in the stands ready to eject a noisome and irritat- ing individual. Publicity given the elections would soon lessen the ear profaning gutterals of the would be | 'devils'' of fans.
 MT. Jennings has travelled around
 the American circuit for more than a few years. Before that he travelled in the old National circuit. He knows the game and knows the fans

A Good Word for "christvu.

The New York Evening Post in a recent edition comments on Mathew son as follows:
 In the long period of Mathewson's association with the New York club, he earned a reputation as the great est pitcher that ever stood on the mound not only. but as one of the fair est and highest minded athletes that base ball or any other game has pro- duced. His value to the Giants as a money-naller for the team cannot be estimated; 1t was Mathewsons abili- ty year after year which was de- pended upon to keep his team in front. to keep the public interested in the club - incidentally to keep the gate receipts on a satisfactory plane You may talk of this player, or this group of playeS you may talk of McGraw's great n1anagerial ability, but when you come Gown to it Christy Mathew son was the keystone of the clubs success, and when his powers began to wane the Giants waned, too. The club was constructed around him, and pennants were won and worlds championships were won simply be-

Cleveland, O., July 21.-All season and the worlds record went by the board in the free for all pace at the last day of the North Randall Grand Circuit races in which Single G cre- ated a sensationl after Russell Boy had won the opening heat in 200 If by nosing out Murphy's pacer in the second heat, duplicating the time of the first time of the first mile and then taking the race bys tramping the third heat in 2:O1 1-4.
 A Great Exhibition.
 It was by all odds the greatest speed exhibition in the history of the Grand Circuit and in only the special match races between Directum I and William was the time even approached. The worlds records were: The fastest three ever paced, averaging 200 92-1O0; the fastest second and third heats ever paced by the same horse, fastest first heat, 2:O1 IA; fastest second heat, 200. IA; fastest third heat, 2:01 1-4; fastest three heat race averaging 200 92-100. It was a won derful race and fully lived up to early predictions and the only reason that the two minute notch was not beaten was that Murphy held back and saved Russell Boy at the finish of the first heat and Curt GOsnell did the same with Single G in the second mile. Otherwise both miles would have been below the two minute notch.
 Great Pacing Machine.
 Single G crowned himself one of the greatest pacing machines in the his tory of the harness sport. He raced like a real race horse-trailed, burst out and when compelled to, made a pace that killed off those that tried to follow in his path.
 That they can sometimes come hack was shown in the 2:06 trot, when Joan, beautifully driven by Mike McDevitt, romped off with the race in straight heats and looked like the Joan of two years ago when she was virtually un- beatahle.
 Castaway the Cleveland pacer tl.at once sold for $55, won the 2:1S pace by taking the first and third heats while Contention B was the winner in the second mile.
 Donna Clay kicked everything wide Onen in the 2:1 trot when Charley Na'ertine piIoted her to first money by winning the first and second heats ard trimming the heavy favOrite, Worthy Prince.

caucse of AIathewson. Now that he
 has slipped back has begun to pay the penalty-long deferred in his case which all professional ball players
 must pay, he is dropping like a suck ed orange and delivered over to the tender care of Garry Hermann and his associates. The irony of it will hardly escape thousands who have been loyal to the Giants through thick and thin just because of Math- ewson's association with that club but after all that is professional base ball; some will say that is life. None the less the suspicion may be enter tained that the New York club is making mistake in this matter. Aft CT all. there is such a thing as senti- ment in this world, and sentiment in que that in some way or other ar engagements might have been made to hold this great athlete and superb sportsman with the Giants, perhaps | as an assistant to McGraw, who, as some discerning followers of the game will perhaps agree, is in need of an assistant of MatheWsOn's mental cali bre, and has been for some time. The i New York club has shown the great est facility in the matter of dropping
 men in recent years who should not 1 have been dropped; the cases of Dem ] aree, Milton Stock, Reinie GrOh, Her
 zOg, Hank GOwdy, Becker, come in | stantIy to mind. Doubtless there are Imany more. It may well prove that | the dropping of Christopher Mathew
 son will prove the greatest mistake.
