TWO American League Teams Are
Separated by Only Two Games
as They Mix In the
Crucial Series.
BOSTON HAS ADVANTAGE
Red 9ox Have Just Finished Clean
Sweep Of Five Wins Over tho
Browns, While White Sox
Wore Held by Yanks.
[BY TT. C. HAMILTONI

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, July 30.-The white
Of the White Sox and the red of the
Crimson-hosed athletes of Boston, will
be blended today in they "crucialest
of the Crucial SERIES" those two clubs
have appeared in this year.
Turning into the stretch, the two
American league leaders are separated
by only two games.
The advantage lies with the Red
Sox, although they have failed so far
this season to show any decided abil-
ity to rend the Comiskey hired hands.
They are playing at home and appar-
emily have reached the top OF their
stride. They just finished clean
sweep of five victories over the
Browns. while the White Sox were
stopped three times in six engage
ments with the Yankees.
Added to this advantage is the fact
that the champions are scheduled for
the home field after the Chicagoans
leave and the latter will have just two
legs finished on a five leg trip.
Temporary respite appears to be In
the offing for the harrassed Giants,
They open today with Pittsburgh, q
task that should appeal to them after
their rough treatment in Chicago. AT
the same time the Reds are scheduled
with the Dodgers and the Cards will
be entertaining the Phillies-tough as
signm ents, both.

Many "War RrIdes.r

Marriages of. enlisted men Of the
national guard have been OF daily
occurrence during the past two
months. Before war was declared an
order was issued to discharge all
enlisted men who are married, but
the war brides are in q different
cl3ss, and their husbands may no
longer obtain discharge.
The law reads in an earlier section
that the money appropriated is to be
expended 'for the benefit of any
military organization of the state of
Iowa for services in the armies of
the United States, on call OF the
president"
Probably court Interpretation
would be required to determine
whether this is broad enough to in.

At any rate, any dependent wife,

Veteran Pitcher Was Victor In Every
Contest Played on the Boston
Grounds In
1875,
FADEAwAY OLD STUNT
Charles Sweeney Of Fast Providence
Club Of 1884, Was the
Mathe~son Of His
Day.

During the last rev years SOME To-
markable pitching records have bee7
established, which will not easily be
forgotten by the present generation
OF fans. It was In 1908 that Walter
Johnson shut out New York three
days, pitching twenty-seyen innings
without allowing run. In the same
year Reulbach of the Chicago Ma
tionals pitched douole-header
against Brooklyn and shut out the lat
ter in both games.
In 1901 Christy Mathewson's feat OF
shutting out the Athletics three times
In the worlds series is still remem-
bered. Those were great perform
ances, but there were pitchers IN the
semiforgotten past who performed as
capably and who can point to records
equally noteworthy.
Back in 1886 George Washington
Bradley was the star pitcher of the st.
Louis team. He had a great name as
whitewasher and shut-out artist.
and on one occasion BANKED the Hart
ford club three times in a row.
Every one, of course, knows the
achievements Of A. G. Spalding, who
practically won the championship in
1872, 1873, 1874 and 1875 for Boston.
In 1875 Spalding pitched in every one
of the games played in the Boston
grounds and won them all, using the
old underhand delivery and fooling
the hard hitters with slow raise ball.
Same Old Stars.
Thomas Bond was a star twirler
from 1873 to 1883. He was with the
Athletics, Hartfords and Bostons,
pitching nearly ninety per cent of
the games played by his team. Bond
for eight years had no curves, depend
ing largely on speed and head work.
Charles Sweeney Of the fast Provi.
dence club OF 1884 could well be COM
pared to Mathewson. Charley Sween-
ey was far ahead of his time as to
cleverness and skill, and had pre-
liminary government much like that
of the peerless Christy. The keynote
of his work was a "fadeaway" identi-
cal with that which made the New
York twirlers work so puzzling.
Sweeney established a record Of nine
be remembered that this feat was &C
final strike rule, and although the
pitchers box was but forty-fve feet
from the plate, his performance was
the talk of the country.
Old Hoss Radbourne was Sweeney's
running mate on the Providence team,
and Rad was not far behind Charley
in pitching. He had terrific speed and
was a master at change OF pace. After
Sweeney had deserted the Grays.
Radbourne pitched as many as twenty
games in a string

Senator O'SulliVaY
 Criticises Power Bill

Hartford, March 15-The amend ment proposed to the charter of the Housatonic Power Co.,, by which it will have extensive rights and powers and will be able to merge or buy many other lighting companies in the state was adopted by the senate to- day without dissenting vote. The contest over the bill did nor ma- terialize. An amendment striking out section in the amendment was adopted. By eliminating this section, it is claimed, minority stockholders in companies taken over by the Housa- = tonic will have their rights protected. It was claimed that otherwise the minority stockholders might have suffered. Senator Doughan tried to have another amendment accepted by which additional stock would have had to be issued at par and for cash, but this was voted down Senator OSullivan in a general way criticised the bill, saying it gave great powers to corporation with no apparent re- turn to the state.
 On the final action there was no objection to the bill.

Seek Furniture For
 Family Abandoned
 By It's Wage Farmer

That in the midst of prosperity its antithesis, poverty, may rise like a wrath to spread it's gaunt arms men acingly over the few, came prominent ly to light today when George l.. War ren issued an appeal through the Charities Organization society, of which he is general secretary, f. the reconstruction of a shattered fam. fly.
 When the great intuition boom sent the wheels of industry spinning night and day and the glow of .thous- ands of electric lights glimmered from the factory windows during the midnight hours, the home of Sarah Wilder in North avenue was snatched from her by a grasping landlord.
 In the street with her five children husband and furniture, she watched the husbands affection fade and like wise her furniture go stick by stick to follow the errant man.
 In dire calamity she placed two young children in the county home whence they were sent into families Two older children were compelled to seek their own support in the cold world and she with one child got a room and by her hands kept the wolf of hunger from the door.
 Last week it was learned by Mrs Warren that, without the aid of a husband, she had been able to provide we'll for herself and child, and the older boys had also become wage earners. In an effort to re-esta blish the home an appeal was made to the c. O. s. for rent and for the return of her two little children. It is esti- mated that the three wage earners may now mai ntain home if furniture is found for them. The county off, cials, itis also believed, will retufn the two children, under the circum- stances.
 In the effort to reconstruct this family general request is made for any articles of furniture that may aid this family. Replies should be sent to George L. Warren, Room 401, Con. nectieut National Bank building Bridg eport.

Germany Is Watching
 For Sweden's Action

London, March 15-An Amsterdam dispatch to Reuters says that the Dutch papers give prominence to an article by Count von Reventlow Il the position of Sweden, which is reprinted from the Berlin Tages Zeitung. Count von Reventlow contends that Great Britain is trying to influence the af fairs of the neutral countries by in- creasing the number of her consuls. and concludes:
 "A decision cannot long be delayed. Germany does not await with pla- tonic interest the development of the future attitude of Sweden toward the demands of the Entente but regards it with watchful eye. The future attitude of Sweden is of the highest importance in regard to the war"

Criticises Action
 of Gov. Holcomb In
 Taking State Census

Irving Shapiro of S44 Hallet! street, believes that Governor Hol comb should take some steps to re- duce the high cost of living instead of having a military census of the state taken. Shapiro says he Is a drill
 press hand, 27 years of age, five feet,
 five inches in height. and weighs 1855 pounds He has four dependent on
 him for support. These are tho only questions he answered when he filled out blank for the military census on Feb. 26. He refused tn answer the other questions because he is opposed to warfare.
 On the back of the blark he wrote
 this message to Governor Holcomb protesting against the taking of the
 census and setting forth his views on the matter:
 "As this points directly to war en' couragement, I therefore refuse any further information in regard to my military ability. Shall his eXcellency, the governor of this state, try instead to do something for the famine and high cost of living on which account the working class is suffering, and l therefore voice my protest against war, although I am as good a citizen and the United States of America is just as dear to me as to any good and true citizen
 His message will be forwarded to the governor without comment. Only Al persons in Bridgeport refused to give information to the military cen- sus takers.
 Assistant Superintendent of Police Charles H. Suckley who is in charge of the work here, said today thai nearly 6O,000 names have already been forwarded to Hartford. He ex. poets that the total registration here will be between 75,O00 and 80,000. It is expected that the census will be completed by next week. Any
 male resident of Bridgeport who has been overlooked by the census takers may give information concerning himself to Supt. Suckley and his name will be added to the enrolment Policemen and stenographers are now sorting the last returns of the census made here.
