defeated them to the tune of -,6 6. It was an awful surprise t,sfhe New London boys as they wanted the game and tried hars to win it. They came up to Nc4~61ch with the best team that NeT London could get to- gether.
 The Came abounded in features. Joe Busr. after the first inning, had the Il. r.dian sign on the boys from the sea. He famed eight of them and in the pinches had them at his mercy, Caul- kins caught an excellent game. Jackie Kane. the hero of many, many hard fought battles, played second for the home boys and showed by his head work and good playing that he has not ~gone back one bit. Jack Clabby at center made one of the prettiest catches ever seen on ball field and stopped the rally. Two men were on bases and one out when he caught the ball after a hard run close to the ground, with one hand and doubled a runner at first. Ben. -Houlihan made three nice hits and played first base superbly. Young Leonard, a young man just starting in, played a nice game at short. Home Run Wheeler was equal to the occasion when hits meant runs The All Norwich team will play the Bloomer Girls of New York next Monday and it is hoped that a large crowd will be on hand as the management will be to a big expense. The All Norwich team now would like to hear from Jewett City.
 The score.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET
Speculation Favored the Long Side of
 the Account.

New York, Sept. S.-Speculation, fla vored the long side of the accoun tfdur- ing the greater part of today'S brief stock market session, with an urgent inquiry for shares which have recent ly been targets for bear raids. Gains ran from 1 to points in recognized favorites like the steels, oils, tobac- cos and General Motors.
 Pool operations were resumed with some confidence and the shorts were sufficiently impressed with the char acter of the buying to cover freely in various quarters. A successful bear raid later against Bethlehem Steel, to- gether with liquidation of investment issues, such as General Electric, Pull man and American Telephone caused the market to relapse below the pre- vious close in many cases. General Electric scored an exceptional decline of nearly points while Pullman gave way 5.
 Supporting orders and drive against the shoTt interest caused vigorous rally in the final dealings. Total sales amounted to 2S5,000. Ru- bIes sold at the new low record of 16 1-2 cents- The actual condition of the banks shown in the report for five days was an increase in surplus of nearly s75,OO0,0 900.
 Bonds were irregular with the Lib erty loan selling at 99.s4 to 99.92. To tal sales (par value) aggregated $L- 450,000.

FINAL s1AMaIMe EASTERN LEAGUE.

Saturday saw the close of the East ern League season, with :he pennant in New Haven. The New Haven c1ub has maintained good lead for the last two months. Lawrence, the run ner-up, has played good ball the last part of the season but New Haven had piled up too great a lead early in the season. Local fans have watched the performance of the New Haven boys with interest as they were under the management of Danny Murphy, a local boy, who has played in the big leagues as a member of the pen nant winning Athletics.

MURLINS ARE EASTERN CHAMPIONS
Clinch Pennant Without 300 Hitter-Danny Muphy's Team Establishes Many Records-Frank Woodward Has Good Record as a Hurler-New Haven Team One of Few te Make Money.

In speaking of the champions the New Haven Register, said:
 Although there has been no doubt as to the issue of the Eastern League the games of Labor Day settled the pennant winner it wasn't until Sat- urday afternoons games had been reeled off on Dan O'NeiPs wheel that New Haven could officially lay claim to the championship of the organiza- ton and Elm City fans confidently point with pride to club that upset quite lot of preseason dope. and incidentally established a number of rather unique records in the steady battle for the flag.
 It is five years since an honest-to- goodness pennant was won by a New Haven nine and that flag was won by George Cameron's Eastern associa- ton outfit after only a fair battle throughout the season. With the in vasion of the Federals in organized and his ridiculous assortment of mis- fits who held sway at the Savin Rock grounds for couple of seasons and then last summers Eastern league along in seventh place in the 10-club circuit.
 This season with a later start than usual and consequently a bit better opportunity to select players and per feet balance in the club New Haven sailed away on May 10 in fair shape, soon drew the attention of the entire circuit to it's class and eventually proved to be the, best nine the city has had in many year.
 Peculiarly enough and although the club has been out in front for some time w!3h anything from six to ten game advantage over the runners-up from, Lawrence there isn't 300 hit ter with the outfit and hasn't been since Joe Shannon dropped out of the select class way back in July. The hitting has been timely, but not par ticularly sensa tional and the greatest factor in the long list of victories has not been the demon sluggers as of old but an aggregation of pitchers that excelled anything else in the entire league.

would be the means of robbing base ball of the grandest chance 1t ever had to simply wallow in glory.
 It is a foregone conclusion that the Giants will trot under the Ma tional League wire first. Hence, a White SoX victory would bring repre- sentatives of the nations two largest cities together in a grapple for the worlds title. The commercial and civic rivalry that already exists be- tween these two cities would inject interest in such a series that could be brought about in no other way.
 Such a worlds series would be reminiscent of the old Cubs Giants days when the players used to fight as ballplayers nowadays never can fight It vii! bring a flicker of recollection of the famous day when Fred NIerlle through his failure to touch second. lost a ball game and a National League championship for the Giants.

In the Austro Italian theatre the Austrians also attempted to regain ground against the Italians on the Carso plateau, but in the furious fight ing which followed they were worsted, suffering heavy casualties. Along the Bainsizxa plateau lively artillery duels again are in progress.
 Considerable activity, both by the artillery and the infantry, continues on the Riga front in the north Russia fighting zone. Southeast of the SpitaH farm the Germans have violently bonn barded Russian positions. In the mid dle sector of this front the duels have reached considerable proportions to the north of Lave Miadziol.
 Peace is impossible, according to a statement of the imperial German chancellor, so long as Germany's an tagonists demand German soil or try to separate the people from their em peror. The German foreign secretary in an address to the reichstag assert ed there was no impeachment to peace that could not be overcome by negotia- tions except the demand of France for the return of A1sace-Lorraine.

 Bottomless Mud.

British Front in France and Bel gium, Oct. 10-(By the Associated Press)-The British and French arm ies. who yesterday made such a spec tacular assault over the Flanders bog lands against the German defences east and northeast of Ypres. were digging themselves in today along a line that represents an important gain. But the never-endfng reaches of al- most bottom1ess mud had during the past twenty-four hours robbed Field Marshal Haigs men of some of the Iaurels which they had won in such remarkable manner.
 The French line was still nestled firmly almost at the edge of the great Houtholst Forest and the Poilus had even improved their line somewhat during the night. On their immediate right the British also were established in positions some 2,000 yards in ad- vance of their Jumping oc place of yesterday. They had sureed forward to a line about 300 yards cast of the Poelsapelle- -Houtholst highway and had maintained themselves in the face of several vigorous enemy counter attacks.

One of these battleships was the Westfalen, whose captain was thrown overheard and drowned. The crews landed. Marines refused to fire on them Whereupon soldiers surround ed the sailors. who surrendered.
 A mutiny is also reported to have occurred on the German warShip Nurnberg, which was at sea- The men seized the officers and proceeded in the direction of Norway. with the in tention of being interned. The Nurn- berg was Overtaken by destroyerS and forced to surrender.
 Emperor William went to Wilhelms- haven and ordered that one out of every seven mutineers be shot. Chan cellor Michaelis protested, with the re- suit that only three were shot. Heavy sentences were imposed on the others.
 Emperor Williams visit to Wilhelms haven, in company with Chancellor Michae1is, was made after the mutiny had been suppressed.
 The chancellor's objections to the emperor's order that one rhutineer in every seven be shot was on the ground that he could not assume such respon- sibility before the reichstag.
 One of the reasons for the mutiny was bad and inadequate food.
 The Westfalen is a battlesfip of 1S,600 tons, built In 1906. The Nurn- berg is new vessel and 'sss4fot listed in the latest naval records to reach this country.
