THE WESTERN DRIVE

The western drive now being at- tempted by the Teutons again has encountered the allied stone wall. A few rocks may be splintered off the wall here and there, but there is no general tumbling. The Germans found it quite different on the other fronts. When they made the drive against the Serbs, the Montenegrins, and also the Italians, different class of opponents were encountered. Even against the Russians the Germans were dealing with a type of enemy wholly different from the British, the French, the American and the Bel gian. On those other fronts the mi nor nations had not the equipment. while Russia was undone by plying the officers with gold. No such proc ess can be employed on the western front. Where there is Gaul, Briton, American or Belgian there is honor as we'll as valor. The Teutonic bar barian must now depend on his brute strength and the deadliness of his machines. but in these he has met his match and even his superior.
 This drive will prove another Yer dun to Germany. Her legions will be hurled against the bristling array oi the allies until the Huns will have to withdraw, bedraggled and reduced Later the oncoming waves of allied strength will inundate the TeutOns il the final grand offensive, which vii not start until the allies are prepared in such way as to sweep all before them.
 While the allies suffer also in this enea cement, they can afford to lost much more than can the enemy. The line may alter a little, but a flexible action now and then may prove more advantageous than stubbornly holding to an inferior point for defense. Or the whole there will be no landslide The allies have held the western line in previous conflicts almost, if no1 qnite, as fierce as this, and they are prepared to stick this time.
 Should such a reverse ever befal the allies as having to make gen eral retreat on the western ront, ever to Paris and the channel, they would not be defeated. Germany yet WoulC have much to do to win the war She would have to beat Britain France and America on the sea something that she never could do But it will not come to such a pass The allies will hold their ground 1T France, and in time will roll back the Hun invaders and dictate peace or the terms of democracy and worlc freedom.

HIGH SCHOOL LEAGUE.
N. F. A. Loses First League Game killinsIy and Southbridse Tie For First Place In Northern Division,

During the past week the Norwich Free Academy played their first lea que game of the season and lost in a poorly played game to Westerly by the score of to 5. The local team is scheduled to play in Stonington Thursday and as the Norwich boys are rated the fastest team in the lea que by semi-pro men they should win Stonington, however, will make every effort to win for with this game added to her Westerly victory the champion ship of the Southern Division is prac- tically certain.
 In the Northern Division Bartlett High of Webster, which had counted the pennant as already theirs received a sudden setback, being defeated by both Killingly and Southbridge. This places Killingly and Southbridge in a tie for first place, Bartlett is still in the running and with the tail enders to face for the remainder of the sea son may win yet. Wednesday Kill lingly took an eleven inning battle from Bartlett by the score of to g. Saturday Southbridge retreved their earlier defeat by winning to 4. A comparison of the two divisions seems to give the Northern Division a big advantage, especially in the pitching department. Killingly and Southbridge boast of veteran twirlers Southbridge having three moundsmen Webster has unearthed a phenomenal southpaw who is burning things up in great shape. The southern division especially the Academy and Westerly are very weak in the pitching depart mentS,

FRANKIE BURNS FAILS TO APPEAR
Chick Brown Takes On Young Fulton of New York and Hands Him Terrible Beating -SemFinal Bout Hum mer-Young Marsco Has Attack of Cold Feet-Joe Jackson, White Sox Outhelder to Be Shipbuilder

After seeing one of the best fights here in long while in the ten round semi final, the Norwich fight fans were treated to one of the worst frosts in the fighting history of Norwich, at Olympic Hall, Monday night. The star bout was to have been between Chick Brown of New Haven and California Frankie Burns but the Californian fail ed to put in an appearance and Sold fer Fulton of Camp Dix was put on instead.
 Fulton started off in grand style and it looked like good fight for the first minute but Brown let loose try ing for a knockout. He f1oored Full ton for the count of nine in the first round and pushed him up against the ropes where Fulton sat and tried to cover up. Fulton had a wicked left but could not land it. In the third round Brown again knocked the sold fer down several times and the last time sent him through the ropes for the count.
 Before the star bout went on Browns manager put up cry for his money and refused to let Brown go on. When the management stated that Browns share of the fight would go to the Red Cross, if he did not go in, friend manager, seeing a cool hundred and a half slipping from his grasp sent Brown in. And Browns brother went and sat with the man who was holding the money.
 The semi final between Tony Marto of New York and Bill Reynolds of Bridgeport was one of the best fights ever seen here. The boys were about evenly matched with perhaps the ad- vantage being with Reynolds in reach and weight. Marto being the clever est of the two had a shade on Key holds in science and experience. Marto led the fighting all tho way in what proved to be a slugging match of the first magnitude. In the eighth round Reynolds sprained his wrist and the

bout was declared off.
 The preliminary was a tame affair, Rankin having a goodly number of pounds on his opponent. Marisco was seized with an attack of cold feet in the second round and let Red pat him on, the jaw for a knockout. It's too bad that Rankin can't meet with somebody in his class that will make him show what he can really do.
 When Jackie Wilson tapped the gong in the last round it looked as if he had sounded the knell for the boxing game in Norwich. The crowd at the exhibi- tion on Monday night was small and the crowd were dissatisfied with the results but in the semi final they cer- tainly got their moneys worth.
 Manager Hastedt has tried to give the fighting public a square deal and has secured some good men but at the last minute the principals have crab bed the show.
 Dave Fitzgerald refereed the bouts and seemed to give the crowd a square deal as there was no comment on his ability.
