 It is interesting to note that. New Haven had four pitchers in tine first ten while Lawrence the runner-up had only one. New London had two, while Springfield and Portland had one each, and divided the services of May berry, who finished fourth between them. {. Truatman and Kennedy of Hart ford with a. tail end cl1Ib., did most of the twiriiI1g, as they were the only Capitol City hur1ers who got results.

FORMER RUSSIAN
WAR MINISTER
ON THE RACK

Petrograd, Sep. 19.-Witnesses in the
trial OF General SoukhomHnoff, the for
mer Russian minister of war, who is fac
ing a charge Of high treason, having con-
cluded their evidence, the general today
was invited to give any explanations he
might wish to make. The former minister
appeared exhausted by the long judicial
proceedings. Speaking in a weak, tired
voice, he endeavored to prove the neces-
sity Of dismantling Russian fortrssses for
which ne had given orders. He declared
that owing to the conditions of modern
warfare the fortresses long had lost all
their strategic Importance and would only
have been traps for the retreating troops.
at the time Of the Russo-Turkish cam
paign,' he said, Il gained the conviction
that provisional defensive works con-
structed while hostilities were In progress
were Of far greater practical utility
General Soukhomlinoff concluded by
saying that he never concerned himself
with politics, but worked exclusively for
the welfare Of the fatherland.

SWEDEN'S RET|CENCE
PERHAPS A CLOAK

Washington, Sept. 19.-Sweden's Of
fetal reticence concerning the expos
ures made by Secretary Lansing on
the part her diplomatic agents nave
taken in transmitting German mes
sages is regarded here largely as a
cloak TO cover what must necessarily
be an embarrassing internal reform.
Officials OF the state department to-
dav made no effort to conceal the fact
That tho United states is disposed to
accept the Unofficial statements made
at Stockholm as true indication OF
tho swedish peoples attitude.
caiIccrams from London have quot
cd n spokesman Of the British gov
ernmtnt as saying that the same ad-
missions made TO it by the foreign
mission would be regarded there as
satisfactory.
Until official admission Of meas
urn Of guilt is made, however, and
promises Of greater care in the fu-
ture are given, it appears improbable
tina, Swedish diplomatic representa-
tiveg viii be afforded the same 1acill-
tins Tor transmission Of their dis
patches.
Although the American government
has not placed any restrictions on the
Swedish legation here, there is daily
evidence that code messages sent 10
and from Stockholm through cable
stations in the control of Great Brit
ain are being subjected to indefinite
delay.
Reports from Stockholm that
..,,,o.. l.; tho ooyrrnrOant would in
cludc tho placing of Admiral 1indman
In the premier's scat have gone far
towards convincing this government
that tho Swedish sentiment has been
so aroused that formal assurances VIII
soon come that such incidents as those
discovered in Argentina and Mexico
will not be repeated.
Interest in the Argentine situation
will continue here until that govern
mont's course is determined, which
cannot be until Berlin has replied to
Arccntina's demand for further ex-
planatiors
The disclosure Of the part played
by the < vedish representative in Mex
leo v hen he acted as messenger for
Minister Won F,ckhardt is not regard
ed by state department officials as
having created situation demanding
any action by Mexico.
