Hammer RecOvers
 Lost Golf Laurels

New York, Oct. 21-After having relinquished the Staten Island gclf title for year to A. Lucien Walker, Jr., of Richmond county. A. F.. Hammer took it back again at Fox Hills yesterday. Apparently the old- time favorite was keen to win, as he subdued his younger rival to the tune of up and to play.
 The match was scheduled for S6 holes, but at the end of the morning half, Hammer stood 6 up. It was then only a question of how many more holes itw ouId take to finish the job. Hammer gained three more going out in the afternoon, and stood g up, so that a half at the next, left him winner.
 Walker won only one hole during the match, the fifth in them orning, where he got a to the others 5. Hammer went out in s6. came back seven strokes worse.
 Considering the conditions, which were not conducive to good foIf, Hammers round, especially in the morning, left little to be desired. His direction from the tee, as rule, was f1awless, and he putted steadily, des- pfte the fact that the greens were un- usually keen. Walker was unable to keep his long drives under control, many of them getting him into trou- b1e.

SWEDE SOCCER PLAYERS LOSE
 TO CITY TEAM
Eliminated From Cup Com petition in Fast Game at
 NeWfield.

The Bridgeport Swedish Soccer team lost yesterday and was also eliminated from the National Cup competition but it was not so much the Bridgeport City team as fate that figured in the defeat. The score was to 2. It is beyond doubt that the City eleven played an offensive game the greater part of the first half but then they had the wind as an asset and even so the Swedes lead during the interval. Forsyth and FiIdes were unable to play for the City team but their absence was not a draw back but in fact a point in favor of the Cityites as Wragg and Stamford took their places. The Swedes came out in full force and included a couple of Hartford players. Ekstrom also assisted the Swedes, having secured permission from his commanding of ficer to come here for the occasion.
 Captain Satterwaite won the toss for the City team and chose to play with the wind, and Lila kicked off for the Swedes before a record crowd. After ten minutes of up to the minute playing by both teams the City team came through with a marker by Hirst but this reverse only tended to put the Swedish players on the alert as 15 minutes later they caused the score to be even.
 From this period to the end of the first half the Swedes played rings around the City eleven. During the next five minutes the Swedes were on the offensive and about two minutes before the whistle ended the first ses- sion they got another goal for a lead ing their first half 1t appears that Cal iss was kicked in the chin and Trainer Sharp had to patch him up.
 In the second half it seemed as though odds were against the City boys but Captain Satterwaite reor- ganized his team which really proved to be a good one. surprise goal came 10 the City team about five min utes after the restart with Hirst again the hero. Then followed a series of wonderful plays by both teams, each trying to grab the winning tally but as the Swedes began to weaken, due to the fact that they played a most strenuous game in the first half and therefore having a much fresher team to contend with they did not take ad- vantage of the favorable wind and all lowed Hirst to bring in the winning goal just 20 minutes before the end of the game.

able to muster well-drilled eleven to send against Dartmouth should this game be arranged.
 Neither Yale nor Princeton has ex- hibited great deal of interest ,in football up to date, but there has been some kind of practice at both institu- t1ons. and there is every likelihood that game can be arranged between these teams for Nov. IS.
 The local colleges, Columbia, Ford ham. and New York University, are to have teams, but no games of any outside worth are, to be played until the first Saturday in November. Dur Ing the month the three colleges will meet on different Saturdays and it is certain that if the games are for the rund large crowds will be attracted.
 Just what sort of football will be played by the different teams of the country hardly can be estimated now. None of the coaches care to make statements about the ability of the players under their care and not one has any idea how long he will be able to keep an aggregation together, since the players leave over night almost to take up army or navy duties.

DOINGS IN THE SPORT WORLD
GEORGIA TECH IS
 AGAIN AFTER TIE
 FOOTBALL GROWN
Southern University Speeds Up Gridiron Practice for
 Hard Games.

After struggling along for more than 8 month hoping tD cIarify the football situation, several Eastern col. leges were represented on the grid iron Saturday with teams which promise action later when more for mideabIe opposition is met. Some of the universities represented gave an inkling of strength which augurs well for the many games promised during next month.
 One of the interesting teams of last your and one looked upon to keep its place among the leaders is Georgia Tech. This aggregation, minus only @ few of the stars who brought foot ball glory to the Atlanta institution, played it's first game Saturday against Ia service eleven and pulled up 123 points to 0 for the opposition. The Golden Tornado, as the Georgia eleven was christened, is rapidly rounding into such shape that it will be ready to respond to any demand made upon it by those in charge of the national sports week campaign to be held from Nov. Il to 18
 It is one of the plans now to bring II6 NeOTSla I6Cu prayers NOrGh Tor two games, one to be played in Phil adelphia between either Pennsylvania or Pittsburgh, and the other to be held in New York with Rutgers as the opponent That Penn will be ready to do its share even against such power as is possessed by the Southern team was proved by the Quaker eleven Saturday when it showed under the
 battleship Minnesota eleven by 27 to O. Pittsburgh has not had a chance to parade it's football team as yet, since the influenza epidemic has pre- vented all games at Pittsburgh.
 Rutgers lost some of its prestige Saturday when it was held to ' to 0 victory by the Pelham Bay Naval Preserves eleven. The sailors were not represented by a misfit team, but it hardly measured up to the ability credited to the men under Foster San- ford. Rutgers played as if a bit stale
 from lack of work, but 1t showed power once the opening was found for a tally.
 Dartmouth Iivened up the New Eng land section of the country with a victorious battle against Norwich. There is a strong possibility that Dartmouth and Harvard may be pre- vailed upon to play a. game for the War Community Fund during the na- tfonal sports week. Harvard has had several teams practicing daily, and it lis certain that the Crimson will be

a motor-car full of things, which we distributed. The cigarettes were from two shipments sent over here by the people of Providence, R. l., and by the Rotary Club of Honolulu, Hawaii, and each package had a little card by which the men could acknowledge the gift. It was pleasure for me to hand these gifts to the men. They came from America, and I thought of every one as a link between these soldiers and the mothers, wives and sweet hearts of America.
 If the Red Cross did nothing more than to distribute these things it would be worth while. I am member of the Red Cross in America, just like so many millions of other Americans. In the last drive I helped to raise some of that giant fund, and l expect to raise my voice for it again in the next drive. I shall be able to speak first hand of its work for our men.
 While I was talking with the con. vaIescents out on the lawn a pretty big crowd began to gather, and some- body asked for a speech. l just could not refuse and gave them a personal message from the folks at home 1 told them how. grateful everybody was to them for the sacrifice they had al- ready made and for the further sacri- fees l knew they were prepared to make for the ideals of America. I gave them a mental picture of the sit- uation at home since they left.-how everybody was working for the war, backing up the army and navy with everything necessary to bring victory. After we had shaken hands all round once more I went through several wards and found the same cheerful spirit in all. The boys all said they were getting along fine. They wanted to know the latest home news, and 1 gave them all could in the short time I had.
 The visit was a great privilege for me. No matter how many of our hos pitals I shall see in my visits to France and Italy, the impressions of my first meeting with them at Dartford will never die out.

sonable wages for their services. Gov ernment ownership may be a some what remote possibility; but in any case has lost much of its dread by the precedent of just treatment which the Administration has already estab- 1ished. It is not too much to assert that although the contracts between the government and the railroads are not all that could be desired the out. look for the railroads is better than it has been for some years. a fact which has not yet been thoroughly re- f1ected in market values.
 Some of the industrials also have a promising future. Prices of commo- dities must ere long recede to more reasonable levels in order to maintain consumption. Such declines will come through a gradual readjustment; though it is useless to expect re- turn to prewar conditions. For a considerable future period the world will be obliged to work upon a high price basis; at least until production overtakes consumption; for there are big voids to fill; and many new enter prices waiting development. Unless all signs fail, an era of worldwide ac- tivity in industry, commerce and ship ping is ahead of us; in which necessi- ties rather than Iuxuries will play the leading part. In steel, oil, copper, rubber, cotton, wool, etc., and the in dustries on which they are based, great and prolonged activity is with in the natural order of things. For such valid reasons, not a few of our industrial shares deserve more favor than they are receiving.
 Public utilities are still in a rather
 unenviable position, owing to the fact 1 that they are generally under control | of local political boards, which are l too frequently influenced by political considerations, rather than a just ap- | preciation of the problems of manage ment.
 Government issues will inevitably be | favorably affected by peace; and lead
 ing issues, especially those of the Uni l ted States, Great Britain and France,
 whose obligations will certainly be
 met, will rise steadily to par and over. | There are possibilities in Russian is
 sues, since that country appears to be at least coming back to reason; | though rehabilitation forNobvious req sons will be slow and irregular. Ger many is certainly bankrupt, and re-
 pudiation may be threatened, espe- cialIy in view of the heavy indemnity
 which the Allies will most likely re-
 quire as a first claim.
 It is no exaggeration to say the
 security markets offer unusual op-
 portunities; and while frequent fluc- 1 nations and sharp Setbacks are ahead, a. worldwide economic read

to the south side of London, then through the southeastern part of the metropolis, where I recognized many landmarks of my boyhood days. The day before 1 had visited Ford street, Spitalfields, and the house there where I first saw the light 68 years ago.
 We ran through Peckham road and passed the handsome building of the AmaIgamated Society of Engineers, which I knew was there from corre- spondence back in Washington with it's officers, but which I now saw for the first time.
 Once out of London we travelled over the hills of Kent and saw some of the prettiest of the English country side. Dartford Hospital, now used ex- clusively by Americans, is on the top of a hill and commands an unequaIled view of the country for many miles, We approached it from the picturesque village which lies at the base of the hill. A fair was in progress there, and the place was alive with people.

He was surrounded by groups of the most cheerful crowd of wounded men imaginable. recognized some of them at once. One of them, John Del monte. was a neighbor of our family in New York. 1 was able to give him first-hand information that all was well at home, and he was very glad. Well, l walked about there among the men, handing them cigarettes, American flags and comfort bags made by the women of America to be dispos- ed of to our boys wherever they may be. It was a great experience and touched me very deeply. Every little while l could feel a lump come up in my throat. I just couldn't help 1t.
 Americans I met from almost every state in the Union. And never before was so proud to meet my country men. Our visit was quite unannounc- ed, and the boys were surprised and pleased,

JOHNNY BEDELL, LOCAL FIGHTER
 TO DON KHAKI
Local Mitt Artist to Try K. o. on Kaiser's
 Best.

Next Wednesday, Johnny Bedell, one of Bridgeport's most famous init artists, will leave for Fortress Mon roe, Va, to don Uncle Sam's uniform and while the boxing fraternity in this city is sorry to lose this clean cut lit tie gladiator, yet they are proud that the roped arena has furnished one more scrapper to help put the K.O. on the Kaiser
 Johnny sprang into the limelight in this city about two years ago when he startled the local fans with his ability as ring general About the same time that Bedell made his ap- pearance it will be remembered that Phil Bloom and Frankie Wilson also climbed through the ropes here.
 Bedell has not been one of the clan of fighters who believed that fighting should be the only trade fol- lowed by the clever knight of the padded glove, so he pitched in and worked for the Adams Express Go. gaining a reputation while employed by that concern as a hard working, 41OllGoL dI4G oODCI DOys <ALGIl IOSaN III 3 the express company he worked in the Lake Torpedo Boat Co.'S plant and in the Housatonic Shipyards, gaining an enviable reputation in both places.
 During his fighting career in Bridgeport, Johnny has met the best that the local and other fields could supply. He battled such well known boys as Johnny Sharpe, Marty Morris, Red Allen, Frankie Conifrey and Kid Limbo, all of whom have gained national regulations as glad iators of the top notch.
 Johnny is keen about his future in the service and from all appearances will make as good a soldier as he has @ citizen and boxer. Before leav- ing he wishes to convey a word of thanks to Battling Levinslly, Joe Smith, Larry Williams and a number of others for the kindness which they showed him and for the help and advice they gave him during his preparation for his many ring bat ties.

boys for what they had done and gave them a few words of encouragement and hope for the future. I told them that the American people are behind them with all they possess. "Slre they are" was the inevitable comment made, with q broad smile that you couldn't miGtake for anything but American.
 A more cheerful lot of wounded men 1t would be hard to find. It is really marvellous, this American spirit.
 It was my first contact with wound ed Americans. It was my first visit to a hospital in the war zone. l planned 1t before leaving the United States. The first thing I decided to do after arriving in England was to visit a crowd of our boys fresh from the fight ing line, hear their stories, sec how they were getting on and give them some words of cheer. Thanks to the American Red Cross, I had the good fortune to have this wish gratified three days after my arrival in England

K. Q, BROWN GOES ID FLORIDA TO
 REGAIN HEALTH
Famous Fighter Recuper- ates From Influenza With
 Mothers Care.

Knock Out Brown, the famous ring general, almost went out for the count this past ten days when he was stricken with pneumonia, but thanks to his mother who came on to this city from their home in Arlington, New Jersey, the famous mitt artist is now out of danger and will leave for his New Jersey home from which place he will go to Florida for the winter as soon as he is strong enough to stand the exertion of a. long trip.
 When seen at his Bridgeport home near the Housatonic shipyards where he has been employed for some time Brown was bitter in his denUnciation of the manner in which he has been treated by his manager, "Dum'b' Dan Morgan, of New York city.
 According to a statement made by Brown, Dan Morgan has made more than S50,000 from the ring battles won by Brown, and when the latter noti- fled him that he was stricken with pneumonia Morgan ignoral all his let ters and wires.

5ustment is inevitable with the com ing of peace. It is quite within range of possibilities that the dispar ity between prices of securities and the prices of commodities will be ad I justed by a rise in the former and a fall in the latter, until more normal levels are reached. At any rate, tha best course to follow for some tims to come will be one of discriminating optimism. Prices have had very fair rise during the last two weekd and more or less tendency towarf profit taking may soon develop.
