Mills hit a long fly right into Houston's hands and he dropped it. Peltier singled. Chennette flied to Brassill. Pepin sin gled. Desmarais doubled.

The Taftville team also went out one, two, three in that in ming.
 Lovenbury revived hope with single in the eighth, and in spite of the fact that the score stood 11a-to 3, Flynn sacrificed Houston walked. Shaw flied out and Purple was out on an in field grounder.

MARKET WAS UNSETTLED.
Opened Strong But Yielded Very Gen
 orally Toward the End.

New York, June 14.-Reversing it's course of the previous session, today's stock market was strong in the, early and intermediate periods but yielded very generally toward the end, mate riafly reducing some of the more ex- tensive gains.
 Further favorable war advices, ab- sence of expected disturbances in the money market, and additional brilliant crop reports accompanied the early buying and impelled considerable cov- ering of short contracts.
 Throughout the day U. $. Steel was the conspicuous feature, supplementing yesterdays 3-point gain with an ad- ditional 1-2-point gain.
 Kindred stocks, especially Sloss Sheffield, Midvale and Bethlehem Steels and Republic Iron, registered gross advances of 1 to 4 points, these also undergoing irregular impairment in the final dealings.
 Baldwin Locomotive General Elec- tric, N Y. Air Brake and Westing- house led the distinctive equipments, General Motors, Chandler and Maxwell the automobile division, and Utah and Inspiration the coppers, while Royal Dutch Oil gave prominence to petro- leums at an extreme advance of 3-4 points.
 Fertilizers. Leathers and Papers were to points higher at their best, but were among the first to react. Gains in other utilities were offset by the heaviness of American Telephone on reports of new financing. Sales amounted to 615, 900 shares.

WALLOPS SHORE LINE AGAIN

 Work DouBSe SteaI-Other Sporting News.

Friday afternoon the Shore Line team lost as usual to TaftviIle. It was the same story as the other games, good hitting but poor fielding. Simcox who started the game for the Carmen had plenty of stuff but could not last. Purple who succeeded him was steadier but failed to receive any support worth mentioning. Flynn on first base was the biggest entrant into the error column with four bad plays. He redeemed himself however by pol ing out the longest hit made on the field since the days of Denny Murphy. In the second inning Jack sent line drive between short and third and went out into the road. He got three bases on it.
 TaftviIle uncovered a new twirler in the form of Desmarais. who while he was hit freely pitched good steady ball. He held the Shore Line men to six safe hits. Mills was the batting star of the Taftville team with two hits out of five times at bat. Taft vile ran wild on the bases, plifering eight sacks. The carmen stole five of which two each went to Shaw and Purple.

SOUVENIR HUNTING FAN WILL BE WATCHED
He Will Have to Be Good to Carry Home Ball When They Are Sell ing at $1.50 Per.

Baseball managers in the Eastern League might do well this season to move back their fences, and run a high screen over their grandstands, for the high cost of fouls and over the-fence hits is going to mean a item of not to be scorned. When the Eastern League recently adopted an official ball it was a case of being lucky to get anything at all for the manufacturers didn't much care whe- ther or not the ball was adopted. There is another angle to it how ever. Every time some ambitious player slices one out of the park or into the pocket of some souvenir col lecting fan in the stands, it will rep resent an additional loss of $150 to the man behind the check book. So don't be surprised if the park attend ants follows the course of the ball little more closely this year. It means 25 cents more in cash to the club oW- and the price is almost certain to go higher before the campaign ends.
 When only one ball is bought it does not amount to so much. but when it is realized that ball club uses hundreds of dozens of balls in a season it can be readily seen what the high cost of fouls will mean in dollars and cents. Judging by the number of balls used last year in the National League the club owners in that organization wills have to pay S27 684 this year for the horehides used. In 1917 the National Leagues club used 1S,456 balls. At an increase of 25 cents each it means the league will expend at least $4 S14 more for baseballs during the present season than if did last gear
 In the senior league last season the clubs used a total of 53S dozen balls and according to the figures at least one-half of these were lost-not used

 Among the spells which it bore away from the field was an elaborate and costly silk flag bearing the in scription, The Ladies of Franklin. to the St. Mary's Cannoniers," trophy which later found its way to the ar chives of this state.
 The 24th of May following, and again on the 14th day of June, the regiment was engaged in battle at Port Hudson.On the latter date, all though in the reserve, by sheer force of enthusiasm and stress of the emergency it worked its way to the forefront of the hottest battle.
 The assault on the fort proved un- successful and led Gen. Banks, then in command, to call for a storming col unln of one thousand men.
 To the lead of this forIorn hope Col. Birge was assigned at his own request, his splendid regiment furnishing one quarter of the desired number of men. The gallant Colonel kept from his men the fact that he had by choice been appointed to lead the column, not wish ing to influence any of them to volun- teer, unless self inclined When, how ever, it became known that he was to command the forlorn hope, there were many and prompt accessions. Two hundred and forty one of this noble regiment for days and weeks were face to face with death. offering their best their all for their country

New London, June 14.-For the time since the organization of the New London fire department some of the companies were called out one night recently for the purpose of fighting rioters with water, but happily the threatened riot did not materialize and the firemen, the men who were near rioters and everybody else, including the officers of the police department, were correspondingly happy. It was on the occasion of the assemblage of 6 large body of sailors when a blue jacket was arrested for bootleggine While in the custody of a police officer and on the way to the police station the prisoner called on sailors for help. The sailors responded to the call in large numbers, and, to their credit. be it said, that they, made no attempt to take the prisoner from the officer. They followed on to the police station in largely increasing numbers, and then and there did threaten to do a whole lot of things; including the stoning of the police station. The po- lice officers, the small number that happened to be in the vicinity, took a decided stand on that matter and with revolvers in hand held the great crowd at bay.

Conditions were becoming serious, when a calvary officer and a squad of men from the transport ap- peared on the scene. He rushed into the mob and in stentorian voice shouted: "Fan in every man of you; Fall in!" There was a snap and mean ing in that command and within two minutes, the. boisterous, half-drunken soldiers were in line marching back to the transport.
