Manager Paul Krichell of the club denies the stories sent out from Hartford that he is violating the Eastern league rules by carrying more than IA men. Krichel1 says he has no intention of going contrary to the rules but that he has been handi- capped by injuries to players.
 ' He handed Outfelder Bracket mo- tice of release a few days ago and thereby chopped his outf1eld squad down to three. Shanty House has been on the hospital list since 8 grounder hit him in the eye during a game in Lawrence last week. Kriche1l himself has not been able to get into the game since he injured his hand during contest in Portland.
 Excluding Krichell and House the local squad consists of Catcher Don nelly, Inf1elders Deininger, Trieste, Lear and Martin; Outfelders Finn, Corcoran and Briggs; Pitchers Banks, Smith, Dessau, Billion and Gingras. When House returns to duty one of the other pitchers will be let out so the squad will be kept at the 4 mark.
 The hard-hitting Portland club will play a single game tomorrow unless weather conditions today make 1t inn possible to play the scheduled double header today. In that event a dou- b1e bill may be played tomorrow Harry Lord, the old American league star, is playing third for Portland, which is managed by Mike Garrity, a veteran minor leaguer. Banks is slated to pitch for Bridgeport tomor- row.

 It's a cold day when Joe Rodriguez, the Cuban whirlwind, doesn't turn in a few hits for Rochester. He got two singles and stole two bases against Buffalo yesterday. Hal Justin, last year with Springfield started in the sessions.
 Manager George Stallings or the He used three pitchers against the Pirates yesterday although the op- posing club didn't score a run. Nehf was taken out in the sixth with two men on bases and one out Allen re- placed him and blanked the Pirates. Then in the eighth, after Allen pass ed the first man. Tyler was called in to retire the side. So long as the Braves won the game Sta1lings will get credit for great strategy.
 Battling Kunz, the South Norwalk boxer who holds the state lightweight title, is not particularly anxious to meet Chic Brown of New Haven. Kunz named three conditions which may prevent the match. He wants to enter the ring a full fledged vel terweight, he will not consent to Dave Fitzgerald as referee and, wants a large percentage of the receipts. New Haven promoters, who are seeking the match, are willing to give Kunz as much money as Brown but no more. Donovan and Weaver are pitching wonderful ball d5r New Haven Don- ovan has not lost a game and Weaver has dropped only one. In six games he has allowed only seven earned runs. If these youngsters had more weight they would be quickly grab bed by big league clubs.S

CAPT. TOM FLANAGAN
 OF CANADIAN ARMY IN
 FAVOR OF ALL SPORTS


 Those were brave words spoken by Capt. Tom Flanagan, the well known Canadian sportsman, who insists that war or no war, sports, must be con tinued. Capt. Flanagan, imme- diately after his return from the front in France, organized an athletic meet, which was characteristic. Capt Elan agan has let it be known that he has little use for the highly paid fighters who will not do some real fighting where they are needed most. He in sfsts that the fighting qualities of the British and Canadian armies have been brought out in the ring, on the track, on the diamond and in other field sports. For that reason he in- sists that all athletics must be kept up at all costs. The Roped Arena is a place Where boxers get a fattened face. They dance and hit and feint and swing.
 Life sure is lively in the Ring.

FIELD DAY In
U. S. TRAINING
CAMP ABROAD
'sannrlies" Entertain il,
Honor Of Former French
Premier.

American Training Camp in
France. Sept. 17.-American infantry
men of the expeditionary army held
their first field day today since their
landing in France with Georges
Clemenceau, former French premier,
as the guest of honor. A battalion Of
an infantry regiment gave demonstra-
tions Of machine gun, rifle and
bayonet assaults, concluding with a
genuine American athletic program,
Including 100 yard dashes, tugs Of
war and boxing bouts.
The entire battalion that partici-
pated in the program lunched in the
open air, M Clemenceau being the
guest Of General Sibert and the
French officers dining with the Amer
lean Brigadier generals. In an adj
dress to the entire battalion, M.
Clemenceau said:
you have come to France with
disinterested motives. You came, not
because you were compelled to come,
but because you wished to come.
Your country always professed love
and friendship for France. Now, you
are at home here and every French
house is open to you. You are not
like the people of other nations be-
cause your motives are devoid Of per-
sonal interests and because you are
filled with ideals. You have heard of
the hardships before you but the rec
ord OF your countrymen proves that
you will acquit yourselves nobly
earning the gratitude Of France and
the world" lf i

new ATTEMPT
TO RAISE BIG
SP AN TODAY
Attempt to Complete Huge
Bridge at Quebec Drop
ped Twice Before.

Quebec, Sept. IA third attempt
was being made today to place in po-
sition the central span Of the Quebec
cantilever bridge. The span, resting
on the pontoons upon which it was
constructed, was towed into position
and hosting chains were attached to
jacks ready to begin the lift Of 150
feet,
An attempt made last September to
place the span in position failed, the
span falling into the river and causing
IA deaths. e.
An attempt in 1907 which also was
unsuccessful, caused 70 deaths.
The two accidents caused a none
tary loss Of about S8,500,000.
The structure, when completed, will
be $3.50 feet from shore to shore and
will have two railroad tracks, two
street car tracks and two roadways.
It will cut the railroad journey be-
tween Halifax and Winnipeg by half
day. The total cost will be s11,00O,-
900. The central span being raised
today is $40 feet long-the longest
bridge span In the world.

SIT seems that a number of per-
sons have the impression that when an
appeal to the president is taken on a
decision Of the district board on an

be required to respond to the call
pending. This is altogether an erron-
eous impression.
The district board has not grant
ed a stay lin any case which has been
appealed to, the president, and If II

notify the local board.
Local boards are consequently free
to call persons whose claims have

ment to pay the differences between

vate companies and killed in action,

Mr.. Sweet, one Of the originators of
the idea of government insurance for
soldiers and sailors, will ask the COM
mittee to make it possible for private
insurance companies to thus insure at
peace time premiums without incur
ring a war hazard. Under his proposal,
the government would bear the differ
ence between peace rates and war
rates only upon individuals killed.
Where the men met with no casualty,
the peace premium would prevail.
