and Tuesday next, the characters are
admirably suited to their roles, and in
every instance they seem to be Mr.
Chambers own brain children who
have stepped from the pages of his
novel.
Anita Stewart Is more delightful
than ever as Philippa, and she has
created one of the most wonderful
roles ever seen on the screen, while S.
Rankin Drew forsakes his true identity
for that Of the American artist with
apparently no trouble or effort. Anders
Randolf as the ~rascally spy; Wildresse
IS, as Mr.. Chambers expresses it, the
character itself, while Jules Cowles
lends much clean humor as a ervant.
"Asticot." Pauline Curley, too, as the
nun seems to have recently stepped
from the secluded c~loister Of some far
convent.
With perfect backgrounds, typical
atmosphere, masterful direction and
characters as well suited to their roles
as they are in this case, it is no wonder
that all critics declare the wonder film
has come into being.

IN MEMORY OF PROFESSOR
WHITEHEAD

Seldom is a loss so keenly felt as
that occasioned to church. community,
and college by the death of Professor
Whitehead. 1t rests with others to
speak of his influence in the college.
In the community he did his part as a
citizen. especially in promoting the edu-
cational interests Of the town. To the
presbyterian church he was loyel in at
tendance and support, including In his
interests not only the church services
but the Sunday school and the Brother
GOD. His belief in the Sermon on the
Mount was made good in a fine fellow
ship and a sympathetic support that
meant much to both old and young.
For. all his power in the community
was based in his strong character
his integrity, his fearlessness, his
fearlessness, his keenness, his gen.
erosity of time, money, and service,
his u~nobtrusive sympathy. When such
a man goes, earth is the poorer.
The Brotherhood, the Sunday School,
and the Church find satisfaction in this
brief tribute to his memory and think
that its sincerity and heartiness afford
to his family the best evidence OF the
grief and sympathy which his asso-
ciates in the church feel at this time
of bereavement.
Committee from the Brotherhood:
Pastor and Moderator of the Session.

100000 for his prize winning Holstein
COW. He looks upon her as too good
an investment for such a price as he
recently sold one of her calves for
81 900, and he would not have to sell
many of her offspring to more than
make up for the price he has refused,
and at the same time to be selling
more butter each week as the product

Mr.. Sayers, living on the old Spauld-

hog last Saturday at Estelline which
netted him $S4. This porker was rails

ration of alfalfa will certainly rut on
flesh. Several years ago that amount
of money for n hog would have been
thought preposterous.

VUTTER OF NEW
HAVEN CLUB GETS
CALLED TO COLORS

New Haven, Aug. Everett Nut
ter, star outfielder of the Murlins,
yesterday received official notification
from his home town, Roseville, O.,
that his number was, pulled early in
the military draft and that he must
report before the examining board
there not later than s. o'clock We'd
nesday morning. Nutter immediately
reported the incident to Owner James
T. Collins and the latter got into
touch with DIR. Gilmore Of West Ha-
ven, member of the Orange exam
inigg board, to ascertain if the. matter
could be adjusted here to save Nutter
the long trip.
Nutter, of course, will claim ex-
emption as he is the sole support of
a wife and child. Indications last
night were that Nutter will have to
go home and make his exemption plea
in person. Nutter's serial number is
1868. 1t was drawn 74th. This means
that the Murlins will have to do with
out his services at a time when he
would be most appreciated. Moose
Miller, first baseman, was also caught
in the draft net and is scheduled to
appear before the examining board
today. He will also claim exemption.
It was stated at baseball headquar-
ters last night that Frank Woodward,

RED HURLERS NOT
ABLE TO RESTRAIN
GIANTS CLOuTERS

Cincinnati, Aug. 6-Continuing
their batting, the Giants had no trout
Bile yesterday in defeating the Reds z
to 2. "Southpaw' Mitchell was
knocked off the slab in the sixth inn
ing. Ring, who relied him, was
much, more effective, although he was
somewhat wild. The visitors made
thirteen hits, with total of twenty
two bases.
Robertson smashed out home run
and Fletcher and Tesreau got triples.
Zimmerman clouted a brace of dou-
bles and also a single. Fletcher had
two one-baggers besides his long
drive. The Reds held the Giants for
three innings, but when the New
Workers did cut hose with their
bludgeons they tore things wide open.
Tesreau pitched the full game and
must have taken off several pounds
dead weight The afternoon was in
tensely hot. He finished strong but
wet. Ten hits were made off him,
but they were not punched danger
ously. He was effective in the
pinches and was given splendid sup
port, a muff of a foul fly by HoIke
was the Giants only error.
Robertson's fielding was especially
noteworthy as wat that of Fletcher,
zim and Herzog. The game was
witnessed by more than $4,000 peo-
pie, over a thousand excursionists
from Indianapolis with brass band
being among the spectators.
Heinie Groh was the Reds all
around star of the contest He made
three hits and fie1ded faultlessly. NC

LEFT HANDLERS DOING BEST
PITCHING IN MAJORS THIS YEAR
southpaws No Longer Regarded AS Eccentric Performers
BY Big League Managers

and Ruth, Leonard and :Pennock have
won more games by a big margin than
Shore, Mays and Foster. Recent tables
were 81 to 20 in. favor of the left
handlers. Nehf is the most successful
pitcher the Braves have, and by all
odds the best on Stallings' staff
Vaughn leads the Cubs pitchers and
is the nearest thing to class that team
has in the box.
Cooper is Pittsburg's best, and
Packard ranks high among the Car
dinals' moundmen. Russell ranks
next to Cicotte for the White Sox, and
Love next to Shocker in the pitching
percentages of the Yankees. If the
Giants and Red Sox win the remnants
this year we may look for a bigger
proportion Of left handlers next year.
The only way the right handlers excel
them now is in quantity, and they are
acquiring a steadiness and stability
which make it no longer fitting to
class them as squirrel food.

were compiled last week, were more

Southpaws aren't usually so con-

half of pitching staff. The Giants

a staff one-haf portside-or it was SO

BRIDGEPORT. PUTS
OVER NEAT TRICK
on I'll, YANKEES
Inv Wagner.l


The fans gathered at the cigar
stores last night and cackled over the
way our boys showed up those city
chaps from New York yesterday.
They delivered a gold brick to the
New York Americans in the ninth and
the big leaguers fell for the trick.
Here is how it happened. After
two were out in the ninth, Catcher
Carroll drew a pass. 1t was Fergu-
sons turn to bat but Hank Bracket
thought he could do better than the
pitcher so he walked right up and
batted out of turn. He spanked a
double that was too hot for the
Yankees shortstop, and Carroll took
third. Corcoran delivered a pinch
blow that brought in two runs and
tied the score at to A! The teams
then had to go along for IL innings
but the Yankees finally won out by
z to 4.
Manager Bill Donovan brought
along all his regulars except Peckin-
paugh and Baker so the fans saw
real big league outfit. Ward, a
youngster secured from the Carolina
league, was used at shortstop and
Baumann, the hard hitting utility
man, played third. The crowd was
interested in watching PiPp, the tall
first baseman of the Yankees and also
Marsans, the Cuban who broke into
professional ball with New Britain of
the old Eastern association. Marsans
made a good catch of Cercoran's liner
in the seventh. In the 18th Tim
Hendryx of the Yankees, rushed back
to the scoreboard in right and pulled
down Zinn's liner.
The Yankees used three of their reg
I uiar pitchers. Cullop, Love and
Shocker. Slim Love, who stands six
feet six and is the tallest player in the
big leagues amused the crowd. He
had plenty of stuff on the ball but was
troubled by his old weakness, lack of
control. In the fifth he delivered
three successive passes, forcing In
rum, and then made a wild pitch,
which gave the locals another tally.
When Love did get 'em over, Bridge
port, couldn't hit. him. Seven went
down by the strike, out route.
Manager Krichell started House on
the mound and he went three innings,
allowing three tallies in the third.
Tuckey allowed one run in the next
three and Ferguson blanked the Yam
. KEGS during the seventh. eighth and
ninth. Lyons worked the last four
rounds. He held the visitors score
less until thes Il 9th when two errors
by Martin paved the way for the
Yankees to get three runs.
Three was a crowd of over 5000 on
hand and the treasury of the En-
ployes' Tuberculosis Relief Fund was
greatly enriched. Johnny Priest of
the Americans, was hit on the head
by bali In Saturdays game so he
could not play yesterday, Corcoran
going to second where he played a
good game. The score:
