RAINBOWS COME BACK.
New Britain, Conn.

New Britain, Conn.
 "Oct. IT, 1917. Sporting Editor:-
 Seeing in last Saturdays paper that some false remarks were made concerning. the Rainbow football team. wish to say that the spectator, whoever he may be, don't know what he is talking about. For in the first place, I leave it to Joseph German who was umpiring the game be- tween the Rainbows and the Bran ford team if by right the Rainbows didn't win. Now this spectator who I hear is one of the players of tho Laurel football team has bitter envy against the members of the Rainbow team, and that is probably why he put such remarks in the paper. The referee of the game was Abe Canter- wich, one of the Laurels, and so were the two timers. I don't just remem- Der their names. The time was to be ten minute periods, and just for spite. when they saw that we were on Branford's yard line in the second period and going over for a touch down, cut the time short to an 8 min- ute period. Isn't that envy?
 About the game that they said I had scheduled with the Laurels I take time to say that as the man. ager of the Laurels didn't let me know about the answer until late Saturday night I couldn't wait until then to get game, and so I got one from the Branford team. If the in terested spectator or any of the Laurel bunch have the nerve to put such a piece in the paper. why don't they get a game with the Branford team which will gladly play them. The Laurels are a pack of Jews who don't know how to play and are yell low, and the sneaky manager has the nerve to ask me to get games for his team for he don't know how or can't get games. Now if the interested spectator or any of the Laurels are so confident of beating us, I am will Sporting Editor of the Herald on the game The game to be played on our field where it is all grass and not up in back of the Smalley school where 1t is all stones and not even marked fpff. They, the Laurels, are so sneaky that they even send one of l their players over to our practice to get our signals. suppose they haven't got any of their own. This interested spectator whom I know came around the back way to see the game, for he was afraid to pay to see the game. Yours very sincerely,
 "EDWARD J. SMITH, Manager of the Rainbows."

N. Y. U. CAPTAIN RESIGNS. Floyd Egan Gives Way to Peter Soko-
 lower.

New York, Oct. 17.-Floyd Egan, who has been acting captain of the New York University's football team in the absence of Ensign Howard Cam, yesterday resigned his position in favor of Peter Sokolower. The players are being taught new signals and formations for the Wesleyan game next Saturday. In a two hour signal drill and scrimmage on Ohio Field yesterday afternoon the play CTS went through the new code.
 Coach Walls teaching seems to be greatly different from that of former Coach Eustis in view of the fact that Wall has been specializing in open plays. His favorites seem to be de- layed passes from an open formation. Wall is confident they will help the Violet considerably in the game with Wesleyan on Saturday.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, sept. 2T.-BritiSh troops
held fest TO their victories today after
n night of ineessant repulse of Ger
man counter-attacks.
The whole Ypres sector was nbIaze
with artillery, trench mOrtars and
grenade explosions. Prisoners pouring
back of the lines were heartily glad
to emerge from the fighting alive.
Bavnrian troops who opposed part of
the British advance on the six-miIe
front declared they were sick of war.
They claimed that the losses of
their troops were higher than those
of the Prussians whose battles they
were now forced to fight. StIII others
declared that unless peace comes soon
the Germans high command may have
difficulty in keeping all its troops in
the fighting.
This latter statement of serious
discomfort is completely bcIied by the
stubborn German defense which the
recent fighting has developed.

come from northern Indiana and there
fore many of these men were assigned
to the engineers. But since many of
them do not understand English train

FASHION
SHOW A
DANDY

The women OF Hammond are still
talking of the fall fashion show at the
E. c DIinas department store yester-
day afternoon. In fact it will furnish
material for conversation for sometime
to come. to say nothing of ideas of
what is being worn this fall.
The entire store was especially pre-
pared for the event. The window deco
rations were never more attractive and
all departments had been arranged to
participate in the big event
The promenade on the. second floor of
the big store was filled to capacity of
sitting and standing room for both per
formances of the fashion show in which
six models participated. The decora-
tions were in ferns and palms and an
orchestra provided music.
The gowns. suits. skirts, furs. millin-
cry and shoes were in every model from
the misses" to the matron and in all
prevailing vogues. patterns and texture
Everything displayed was from the
stock of the store and the fact that
there was no dupIicity of garments
and the widest variety shown indicate
the store is better prepared than ever
to serve the public. The silver tone,
bronze. Pekin Blue and Balsam Green
were among the shades most popular
with the spectators. The new pompom
cloth was in evidence. The gowns
ranged in price as high as SOS. the furs
to S225. the cloth coats to S55. but the
store is especially strong in the medi-
um pnlce goods and is maintaining its
record for splendid values.

charge of the fashion show I'VE were

The monster steel plants of the
United States Steel corporation at
Gary, South Chicago and Joliet are
crippled in many departments due
to walkout during the night of
switchmen of the Elgin, Joliet and
Eastern railway, the steel corpora
tons interplant railway, whose
grievance is said to be one con-
corning wages.
Ceasing work not as members of
a labor union but as individuals it
is said that the walkout was due to
the failure of the steel trust to
raise the wages of the switchmen,
although other employees have
been granted repeated increases.
