On q sizzling hot July day. seven

catcher and acquired an outfeld star.
The Utica club, Of the New York State
league. being short-handed. asked one
Of its catchers to play the outfeld that
day, and the chunky minor league

National league. AS a lead-oft man he
is a wonder at getting on the bases
and is n of the foxiest base stealers
now playing. He was the first National
season and is generally found up near
the head of the list as a run scorer.
Burns Is q whole lot moro valuable
player than even his good figures in
dictate. A 800 batter, one Of the best
men on the paths in the game, and a
wonder at judging and playing out
field hits. his class, is easily apparent.
Yet his steadiness and reliability make
him even more valuable than his work
shows on the surface.
There isn't q flaw in Georges play
ing equipment. His fielding technique
is almost perfect and day in and day
out he plays the same brand of high
class ball. There is nothing streaky
about his performances. Burns has a
corking throwing arm, an extensive
knowledge Of batters and q wise base
ball head.
And with it all. he is one Of the
most modest, ,likable chaps who ever
wore the spangles. Even in Chicago,
where the bugs love to ride the
Giants. the fans lay off Burns and al
ways give him q great hand.

ROOSEVELT ELEVEN
LOSES TO BELMONT

The Belmont football team defeated
the Roosevelt eleven last night in q
fast game by a score Of 80 to o.. The
field was in very poor condition owing
to the persistent downpour Of rain
during the entire game. The Belmont
team thoroughly outclassed the Roose-
veltites in every stage of the game,
making consistent gains every TIME the
ball was put in play. The winners
were only held for downs twice dur,
ing the entire two periods, once being
held ON the five yard line.
During the second half Captain
Jeffery's men came back and carried
the ball the length Of the field to.
within six yards of scoring distance,
where they lost the ball on downs.
During this attack Halfback Jeffery
made a long end run, netting his team
fifty yards.
The sensation of the day was when,
with only n minute left to play,
Bangs, playing right half fon the Bel
mont school, ran 95 yards for a
touchdown.
Roosevelt Boys Show Pluck.
Although outclassed in every way
because of the loss of three stars. the
Roosevelt team fought from the start
to the finish. At present CAPTAIN
Jeffery's men are. in last place but. are

Waldo Newbury took part in the programm, playing Vari- ations de Concert by Joseph Bonnet. organist of the Grand Organ of Saint Eustache, Paris. and honorary vice tinguished musician was expected to be present at the commencement. but was detained in Canada, being on a, concert tour. He sent his regrets at his unavoidable absence and his best wishes to the class of 1917 by tele- gram. Waldo Newbury had played for him once before this spring. when he was one of the few chosen to play at students recital given in Dr. Ronnet's honor. At that time Dr. Bonnet commended young Mir. New burys playing very highly.
 The Norwich boy finished his com mencement number amidst a great burst of applause which did not sub audience, that being the case In only one other instance of the whole four teen performances.
 Dr. William c. Carl. director of the school, presented the class fer grad uation and Rev. pr. Howard Duff1eld. chaplain of the school, presented the diplomas. Prof. William H.

 have won first promotion. These young men are very enthusiastic about the navy and are making good in every regard. They are particularly inter ested in the daily physical exercises they are required to go through. They write that the training station is now taxed to its full capacity, having prac- tically twice as many men under train ing now as was the case during peace times and that owing to the large number who have been given prelim- mary training. the drills and exercises are carried on with a great deal of vfgor and zest- Everything is run ming like clock work and training sta- tion life is satisfa ctory-
 Shortly they will be assigned to one of the battleships, destroyers or sub- marines of the U- $. navy and in view which are to play such an important part in the making of our country's future history. this paper has made arrangements with the U. S. Navy Publicity Bureau, New York, whereby it can keep in touch with young men from this locality who are serving their country in this branch of the mill itary service. Special endeavor will be taken to follow up these young men throughout this world wide con- f1ict.
 The expressions of these young men are but a reiteraticn of those os the thousands of sailors now in their coun- try's service. For hundred years the navy has made brilliant history and given the world a line of heroes from John Paul Jones to George Dewey. The navy has always been the first line of defense. Today it is in active conflict with the enemy cooperating with the ships of our allies.
 It may be of interest to mention the fact that the young men who register for selective draft on June 5th do not become ineligible for enlistment in the navy. The pay of the lowest rat ing in the navy has been increased to s32.60 per month and the opportunities for promotion are greater than ever before.

COLLEGE FREsHIEs BEAT
 THE SoPH oMoREs.
First Annual Regatta Held on the
 Thames River.

Connecticut college crews have in- vaded the rowing course left vacant this year by the Yale and Harvard oarsmen and despite the fact that the red an dbiue collegians have traded their oars for rifles, the Thames was not without it's annual regatta. Con- necticut college has come to the res cue when the war threatened to de- prive the river of its privilege of carry ing shells to victory and defeat.
 Wednesday night at o'clock Con- necticut college held it's first annual regatta on the Thames river. The freshman two -oared shell defeated the sophomore two-o cared shell by. five and a half lengths in a one mile race to the navy yard and return, amid the cheers of their classmates assembled along the western bank. The entire college, students and faculty, gathered along spectators of the race, which will, no doubt, some day be an annual event of the coIlegians. but their enthusiasm was no less hearty, though less in vol ing observation cars and saluting yachts.
 The freshman crew, which made the mile in Is minutes, seconds, was composed of Miss Frances Barlow, coxswain, Miss Mabel Torrey and Miss Howard. Miss Mildred Keefe was coxswain of the sophomore crew and Miss Amy Kugler and Miss Doris were the crew.
 After the race bonfire was kindled on the shore near the college boat house and frankfurters were roasted and rolls and coffee served President Frederick H. Sykes made brief re- marks and Edward D. B. Lynde en- tertained with reading, and the party sat about the campfire until after o'clock, singing and telling stories
 The students were chaperoned by Dr. and Mrs. Sykes. Miss Helen Dr. and Mrs. Raymond Osburn. Miss Hazel Woodruff, Miss Ruth Reicheldorfer Miss Irene Wye pr. Mann Clark Barr and Mir. and Mrs Henry~B. Selden.
