The one overshadowng and disturbing fact is the
enormous loss to merchant shipping due to the new

allies will surely be starved into submission, and then
Germany will rule the SEAS What this will mean to

FIRST BASEMAN'S GLOVE.
All Varieties Used by Players in Diff
ferent Leagues.

G. Raymond Lafayette is a long and
large Young man. but he played first base
at Waterbury Sunday with a little bit Of
a glove. hardly as large as that used by
the shortstop. He says that he can grasp
them better with the little glove than
with the ordinary mitten of the fist base
man. He may be right, as far as his own
convenience is concerned, but Hal Chase
uses a much thicker. larger glove. In
fact. Halibut uses several OF them. Most
players keep just one glove and replace 1t.
grudgingly. when 1t is completely worn to
tatters. but Chase carries a whole set Of
gloves, one for practice. one for reeuYar
play. and others which he slips on oc-

that the Kentucky veteran will finish

will play return match with Janow-

pion will make an extended tour of the
middle west and southwest in October,
and Is more than willing to give
Showalter a chance for revenge. As the
American master feels that he was
far. far from his true form when he
was defeated by Janowski last fall, 1t
is probable that the match will be ar
ranged
The game today was played by corre-
spondence and will prove of great In

opens up a new line of play in SO old

indebted to Hermann Helms for the
splendid notes which accompany the
