REGisTRANTs' CLASSIFICATION. To Be Taken Up By Division Exemp- tion Board as Ordered-Board AL lowed One Paid Clerk.

In accordance with telegraphic in structions received here from the war department, the local board for Di- vision No. Is, Connecticut, composed of the towns of Putnam, Killingly, Thompson, Woodstock, Eastford and Ashford, Swil1 begin December 1, the work of preparing for the classification of all regiStrants for war service in accordance with the details of the new system announced.
 Between December and IS the
 board will be engaged with prepara- tory work. and it is not expected that the questionaire blanks will be sent out until on or after December 18th.
 These blanks are to be received here
 within a few days, but cannot be re- leased to registrants until orders for such release are received through the
 war department.
 The classification of the registrants will upset the arrangement of the men
 as they are now listed for calling, but
 in whatever class they are later as- signed. they will retain their draft
 rights in so far their rights apply to their own particular class. This means that men who are placed in
 Class No. 1, will be drawn in accord ance with their position under the old system. The same rule will apply in other classes.
 The local board will have a chief clerk who will be paid and who will have charge of practically al of the cer:cal work. The local board must have a considerable number of volun- teer workers, however, and these will be called for some time in December.

 in any quantity worthy of being con- sfdered as adequate for the require

 Scouting parties now go out from the city and canvasS the little country stores for two or three pounds of the sweet stuff, getting some here and there, but only enough to tide a fami- ly over for a very few days.
 Practically every family in the city is now on short sugar rations Some few families are worrying along with out any sugar. Some dealers haven't a pound in their stores, nor a pound in their homes. Some few families have a surplus of sugar. This they bought a few months back when the first talk of q sugar famine was heard. These families are not telling of their satis- factory situation, however, for if they did they would have many would-be buyers and borrowers. They're sit ting tight and saying nothing.
 The ruling that there shall not be any combination sugar sales has prov ed Of interest here. Practically all the dealers of the city have not att tempted to produce other sales by us- ing sugar as a lever to bring extra business. but there has been one such case. and the state food administrator s ruling against this practice Was wei Comed. q

Vernon Ayau Joins
.Lai Tin and Mark

Vernon Ayau, the local Chinese
baseball player, who performed fol
the Seattle, Taco. and Vancouver
teams Of the Northwestern League
this year, has been located in the
Delaware County League in Pennsyl
vania. Ayau is playing on the same
team with Lai Tin and Denny Mark

Ayau was considered to be one OF
the best fielders in the Northwestern
League this season, but fell down with
the stick. Lai Tin writes that Ayau
is making good with the Upland team
of the Delaware County League and
will be retained by the club. The Up
land team is called the "Millionaires,
as it has especially strong backing
Home Run" Baker at one time play
ed on the Upland team. Babe" Ruth
was also offered a contract.
Lai Tin and Markham have been
playing wonderful ball with the Up.
land team, and the Philadelphia North
American, in a recent number, has the
following to say about the Honolulu
boy. Calling him better player than
Baker is praise enough for the Chi
nese star:
Zone of the smoothest working third

Lai Tin, the Chinese who guards the
hot side of the field for Upland in
the Delaware County League. Upland
fans have forgotten Frank Baker
since Lai has been covering the bag.
He is fielding better and hitting hard
err than Baker in that circuit"
In a recent game against Chester,
Lai Tin clicked Baumgartner, the for
'mer Philadelphia pitcher, for three
clean hits. In another game against
Media, he busted up the game with
a triple. Markham secured two hits
