OPEN RECRUITING STATION TO-DAY
City Officials Spanish War Veterans, Member of Old Com pany and Other Prominent Citizens Sworn Into Home Guard Service at Armory Last Nisht-Daniel Casey First Norwich Man to Take Oath-Naval Militia Com mittee Ready to Take Enlstments at Once.

and men have been enrolled in the ser vice a naval lieutenant will come to Norwich to administer the oath to the men. Applications for enlistment blanks should be made at once to eith- CT of the three men who are serving on the local committee.
 It is announced at the recruiting cf- flee in New London, that. as the enroll ment of men in the naval reserve only calls for active duty in time of war, it is due to a mans family to prepare in peace for defense in time of war. A man enrolling himself in the re- serve at this time does not bind him. self in any way in peace time. but gives the government an idea of the number of men ready to defend the home district and gives a chance to make plans and place the men who have volunteered in case war is de- clared at any time. The idea of the reserve is to enroll men so that in case of war they will not lose by en- rolling. That is-to say. if a man is earning, say. SIS or S20 a week in civilian life. he surely is worth that much to the government to serve in his special 1Iae. and he fill be en- rolled in arate that will practically pay him the same in the reserve as it will ir his civilian position.

THE NAVAL MILITIA
 READY FOR INVESTMENTS
Local Committee Will Take Care of Applicants as Fast as They Appear.

Norwich is to have local branch of the Naval Militia and enlistments will be taken immediately. This was the statement made Wednesday evening by Frank I. Sevin. one of the committee of three in charge of the local work mittee are Commodore Don Hougf1ton of the Chelsea Boat club and Harcid PreSon. The committee held a meet ing on Wednesday evening to perfect plans in regard to the work to be car ried on in this city,
 Tuesday the committee were in con ference with the naval militia officials in New London when they gleaned much valuable information in regard to the taking of enlistments and the duties to be required.
 Both boats and men are wanted hut it should be understood that anyone whether 8 boat owner or not may ioiYl Men with knowledge of boats and en- zines are of course preferred. The idea of the forming of the naval mill tia is to have men ready for inshore duty in motor boats. etc. to protect bridges, munitions plants, and cities against any possible attack by subma- rines.
 An adequate naval militia would aI- tow the release of the trained sailors of Uncle Sam's navy from inskore duty so that they could put to sea on the large warShipS.
 There are three ways of entering a motor boat in the service. Either by donation, lease of sale outright. The advantage of belonging to the naval militia is that the men enrolled will not he called on or drafted for any other purpose than the duties assign ed them in the naval militia which will include only duties in tue second naval district This will keep the men who join near their own homes
 In a modern war there will always be great need for service and co-op- eratfon with the navy of yachts, tugs, power boats.. and other small craft The duties which vessels of these classes will be called upon to perform are as follows:
 Harbor patrol. mine field patrol coast patrol. laying mines. sweeping for enemy mines. operations against enemy submarines, cooperation with submarines and aircraft dispatch boats and cooperation with land fore es.
 The duties assigned to boats of va rious types in time of war depe.fd primarily upon the tyne of boat It is one of the necessary preparations for war to enroll all boats that may be useful and to assign them in time of peace to such duties as they may be fitted for in time of war.

DU MONT IS MOST
EFFECTIVE WHEN
FACING TY COBB

George Du Mont has done the best
work OF all the Washington pitchers
facing the terrible Tyrus this season.
Walter johnson has been walloped
the hardest by the Georgia Peach.
Against the Washington twirlers
Cobb has gone to bat forty-nine times.
He has collected twenty-foLr hits, To-
falling thirty-one bases, Tor a grand
average of 400.
Nine times has Cobb been charged
with facing Du Mont He has made
but two measiy singles off the Fargo
finger, establishing the puny aver
age Of .222
Fourteen times has the Georgian
been charged with facing johnson,
and out OF those fourteen trips to
the plate he has whAled out ten hits
for twelve bases, an average Of .1Ib.
Cobb spanked Ayers for q mark of
BIO, getting four hits with g total OF
nine in seven trips to the plate. He
lit into Shaw for .375, getting three
singles in eight times up. Facing
Harper nine times. he poled four
singles, averaging AS. In two times
up against Gallia he got one single,
an average OF 800.
On these figures George Du Mont 10

least when opposing the leagues

Becomes Mechanical Game.
Under the old type of manager, pro-
fessional baseball has become more
or less OF a mechanical game. For
that reason along IL It possible for
bone heads" to hold their own in the
fastest company.
For the same reason brainy players
like Ty Cobb stand OIL: all the great
er from a collection OF mechanical
players, Do you suppose Hughey
Jennings ever taught Ty Cobb more
than the merest rudiments OF base
BALI Cobb passed his manager long,
long ago, when It came to learning
basebalFs finer points. Ty invented
many new tricks that must have sur
prised Jennings when he saw them on
the field.
II major league baseball is TO pro-
gress at a more rapid pace, 1t will
have to be because OF new blood
among its leaders. Maybe these

No runs were scored off the Doctor.
Very few ever are made off him BY

here, the reporters always immediate

and be ready for flash" And 1t was on
this occasion.
There's something uncanny about
the way things break against Ayers
when he faces Detroit. The Tigers
never hit him but they never lose to
him. They didn't score after he took
the slab, at which time the count was
the same, 8 to 4, with which the game
finished
But In the eighth. with Rice on
third on a hit, steal and out, Heilmann
made a jumping one-hand stab at
Leonard's drive that should have been
q triple. and turned It into q double
play.
In the ninth, Washington got two
passes, had two steals. profited by
one Detroit's error. and had the run
that would tie and the one that would
win left on the bases because OF d
wonderful stop and throw by Bush
Consider AyerI JInx.
II you don't think the Ayers jinx
was working, note the fact that the
Nationals had four runs bsfore De-
troit got any, three OF them COM
piled by q triple made with two on,
by Rice, who himself scored on Fos-
ter's double.
Dumont was hit hard in two
rounds. but still claims that Cobb was
struck out in the sixth. whore he
drew q pass, without which the Ma
tionals would have been victors.
Starting the series with Cleveland,
Griffith expresses no apprehensions.
The Indians have won three straight
from Boston, but in doing SO they
scored only eight runs. Warrington
has been opposing the hardest-hit-
ting team In baseball, and out-bat-
ted II, making twenty-four tAllies In
four contests. So Griff figures that
he will win the series on his offsnse.
He has Gallia and johnson ready for
the start. Walter was warming up
at the close OF the final Detroit con-
test, to 60 in II the SCORE. should be
tied, Charity having struck out In
place OF Ayers.
Rice Slams Pellet.
Rice came through with q triple
and a single on Tuesday, making his
average in the Detroit serieA .625, and
his mark for the year up to
200. He sent in two runs. scored one
and stole sack in the
eighth, with none out and tally
good to tie. Opposing clubs are begin
ming to pay q lot OF attention to this
young man.
In today's game GalIiA probably
win go, with Lambeth a possibility
for Cleveland. The series will be hard
fought. It won't be any tougher than
