OLD TIME NORWICH PLAYER
 RETiREs FROM BASEBALL
Jack Tighe Hears the Gall of the Soil
 and Goes to Farming.

Harking to the voice of Hoover, Jack Tighe, former Norwich player and spectacular figure of minor league dom for a score of years, veteran pilot of torrid flag drives in Class A, A and E loops, is doffing the spangles of the green diamond for the blue jeans of the farmer. going back to the soil Roundabout Thompson, Ill, across the broad Mississippi from Clinton. Ia, the Stallings of the brush will go through the flag dash of 1918 on his farm of 160 acres, a far cry from the rawlings and mouthings of the boisterous biea- cherite
 Tighe has run the gamut of the minors, from Seattle in. the North western to Norwich in the old Con- necticut League, piloted Louisville in the present Hickey circuit, Rock Is land in the Three Lamp, and others too numerous to recount. tablishing a record for always being near the pinnacle when time was called in the fall
 No minor league skipper in the land has wider acquaintance than this same Tighe attested in part by the scores of autographed photos of celebrities of sportdom and the stage which adorn the walls of the Tighe "stewdio" on the main stem of Rock Island, Ill.
 But Jack is putting it all behind him, and when the gentle zephyrs of spring blow away the memories of the coal pirate. J. Tighe. farmer, will be shoveling the noble and fragrant onion through course of spring training teaching the hook slide to the lordly spud and coaxing corn down the rows instead of rushing rockies around the path.
 But the lure of the game is still so strong in the Tighe blood that Jack declares he expects to uncover at least one budding phenom up in the asparagus region, and as soon as the snow which now covers his fields has taken the count. he will lay of diamond on his farm where the rustic youth of the vicinity will be called on to go through their paces under the critical Tighe eye. There some rural headiner, destined some day to shine under the big tent, vii be unearthed, he confidently believes
 A leader of the Stallings type Tighe was never beaten till the las athlete had perished in the ninth and the name Tighe was a synonym for aggressiveness in the minors whicf will stand for years to come.

In the case of potatoes, however, it also should be noted that they are easily stored and are an extremely good staple crop, and many gardeners will

enough space could be found for them in one-fourth of an acre. However, it is advised that the gardener, unless he has had one or more years ex- perience, center. his work as few of the more important vegetables. For most of the vegetables listed the plant ings may consist of the entire quanti- ties mentioned. Relatively small quan- titles of reaufihower, eggplants. and parsley should be sufficient for most families. The entire supply of string beans, bush Lima beans, sweet corn, lettuce, peas. and radishes should not be planted at one time. but successive plantings two or three week apart should be made so that a fresh supply of the vegetables may be had through out the season.
 Of early Irish potatoes 1 peck to F bushel will be required, and of late depending upon the amount of ground available for this. purpose, If abund ' ant space is available it may be well to grow enough Irish potatoes to last throughout the winter.
 Seed For Canning Vegetables.
 If the family wishes to raise vege- tables to supply current needs and also to furnish a surplus for canning the amounts given above should be considerably increased.
 With little forethought compara- lively small tract of land may, be made to supply the average family with fresh vegetables throughout the grow ing season.

CUT HUN STRENGTH
 4 DIVISIONS
By Associated Press.

AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS IN LORRAINE, -(Reuter's)-Sept l6.- It is probablv not an over-esti- mate to assnume that the Americans in reducing the St. Mihiel salient cut the enemy's strength equivalent to four divisions. The victory of the Americans was due to German in- feriority in numbers and a greater inferiority of morale. False conclus- ions must not be drawn from the re suit of the operations. But briefly Germans did not fight, and the tri- fling damage done the French and Americans proves it. The fact that the operation took only 57 per cent of the time allotted is proof that more strenuous resistance was ex- pected. The Germans are already beginning to react and the number of enemy airplanes has increased greatly. Nightly attempts by the Germans to bomb the American posi- tions fail, but it is grave mistake to imagine that the Germans arc done with.

FILL THE PLACES MADE VACANT
 BY THE WAR
WOMEN RESPONDING TO I'll E APPEAL OF EN- - FLOWERS IN VARIOU s INDUSTRIES AND ARE MAKING GOOD.
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l6. - Wo- men by the thousands are responding to the appeal of employers to take i the place of men entering the army and to fill new positions created by industrial expansion, according to the monthly business review of the fed eral reserve board.
 Some indications are that in few more months the number of women entering industry will be greater than the number Of men withdrawing for military service.
 The review as made public today shows that women arc spending more of their new earnings for clothing. Retail dealers in all cities where many women recently have left their homes to work elsewhere report booming business. This Is contrary to the policies of economy urged by all government agencies as a war measure.
 Owing to recent government supervision of employment agents in dustries now report much more stable labor conditions but continued ex cess of demand for workers. Many anticipate 9 shortage this month be- cause of the return to school or thousands of teachers and children who have been working during the summer. Eastern federal reserve banks report that tendency IS ap- parent among manufacturers and dis trihutors to await full assurance of government price regulations before determining trade policies. Wholesal- CTS now are beginning market mater ials for sale next spring at higher prices. and retailers show uncertainty as to how higher prices would be taken by the public for clothing and other articles.

SURVIVORS SEEK IN VAIN FOR
 LOVED ONES
HEART BENDING SCENES ENACTED AT PIER IN PLYMOUTH AS PASSEN- GERS LAND FROM TOR PEDOED VESSEL.
By Associated Rress

PLYMOUTH. Sept. Is. - Heart rending scenes were witnessed here when hundreds of survivors Of the torpedoed steamer Galway Castle were landed at 7 o'clock Thursday morn ing. The passengers were mostly wo- men and children and it is believed that whole families have been lost.
 Among the survivors were little tots scarcely able to walk, crying in vain for their parents. Parents were searching in all directions for news of their children and women were seek ing vainly for their lost husbands. IL mattered nothing that warm dry clothing was distributed to take the place of the scanty little attire sur vivors snatched as they left the ship. Their ore thought was to get news of their relatives and friends.
 There seems no reason to doubt that the vessel was torpedoed with out the slightest warning. The ex plosion occurred between the engine room and the stock hold, a fact which is taken to rue out any possibility that the ship strhck a mine. The ex- plosion caused comparatively little noise but caused the ship to buckle in a most extraordinary manner.
 She was injured at the extreme bottom and was bent and torn clear to the upper deck and seemed likely to break in two at any moment. The thrush of water was tremendous
 Fearing that the liner would found CT at any moment Capt. Over order ed the boats lowered and issued life belts to passengers.
