Outfelder Jenkins Is Secured by Hartford on
 Tom Connery's Werd

Hartford, May Ray Jenkins, an outfielder, who says he can prove it, is the latest addition to the Hartford baseball squad. Jenkins comes from Edwardsville, H., and carries with him the recommendation of no less distinguished an authority than Tom Connery, erstwhile manager of the St. Louis Cardinals. MT. Jenkins rastimed in various places in the west

Ban Johnson is a generous, open handed cuss. He suggests that the minor leagues should close next season so the major leagues can keep going even under depressing war conditions. Why not have the majors buy few players from the minors and then both classes can keep above water?

 New Britain's record of having four people at a ball game was al- most torn to shreds in Buffalo yester- day when the weather was so cold that only 12 turned out.

PHILLIPS TOMORROW

If somebody will tell the rain man he is wanted on the phone perhaps he will go away and let us have ball game tomorrow. The Bridgeport management has booked the Phil1ies and a warm day will bring out a big crowd of fans to see the National leaguers in action at Newfield park. Manager Moran of the Phillies says his regulars have lost so much prac- tice because of bad weather this week that he will put them all into the game tomorrow. Such noted players as Outfie1ders Cravath, Whit ted and Paskert and Infielders Lud- erus, Niehoff, Bancroft and Stock are with the Phillies. Fortune, who was pitch part of the game for the big regular staff will do the catching. The game will start at 3:15. Manager Krichell of Bridgeport intends to use Dug Smith and Lillipop in the box.
 esterday the Bridgeport squad had two workouts, the afternoon session consisting of a game with the Sing CTS of the Industrial League. The Eastern leaguers won by to in six innings. Coveny started on the mound for Bridgeport and was touch ed for four hits and one run in three innings. Howe allowed four safeties and two runs in the last three inn. ings.

workers, both shows and emphasizes the
brutal truth that Pensacola nor West
Florida has responded in anything like
satisfactory manner in the Y. drive.
The figures indicate that West Florida,
including Pensacola, is shy nearly seven
thousand dollars of it's quota of twelve
thousand dollars, two thousand of which
has been subscribed by Our youthful pa
triots, the boys. Which is equivalent to
saying that only little be -er than three
thousand has been raised III this city
amongst the adult population And this
despite no end of advertising and both per-
sonal and public appeal
Perhaps when the outside districts are
heard from, including DeFuniak Springs,
which, it is understood, has collected eight
hundred dollars, the sum raised will be IL
creased to four thousand dollars. But even
then the quota will be six thousand dollars
off, including the boys subscriptions.
It may very well be that the public does
not understand the full significance of this
fund, notwithstanding the publicity that
has been given to it. The money collected
is to be expended for the promotion of the
welfare of the American soldiers in France,
notably with relation to their social life
Perhaps it may be stated that excepting the
Red Cross, which however is not a charity,
this is the most worthy cause contributory
TO the war that = yet been advanced
West Florida is pledged to raise it's al
lotted quota, other sections of the country
have responded nobly to the appeal, and
there is but one duty here.
Pensacola and West Florida have not
failed to meet the call of every patriotic
call and they cannot will not, fail in this
