INTERNAT'L CAME
 AT THE MEADOWS
Semi Final of Connecticut State Series Between Eng
 land and Sweden.
By JOE BOOTH,

Tomorrow afternoon, the Meadows, the ground of the Bridgeport City soccer football club, will be the scene of one of the best soccer International games of the season when the semi- final round of the Connecticut State International series, between teams representing England and Sweden will be played. The winner of this game will play the Scottish team in the final tie on Sunday April 18th on the same ground. The game was at one time though to be cheap thing" for the Englishmen but the Sweden are determined to gain the verdict and will play several out of town players for this game. Three of the players who played for the New York Vikings at Seaside park last Sunday will be seen in the lineup, and these are Adamson, back; Lindquist and Peterson, forwards, while Ohlson of the Hartford Swedish team will appear at left full back. Forsberg who has played in the back position for the
 local Swedes during the whole of this season will be transferred to the 1O1L IIol1 pOoll1OIS Wu0T0 IS HIS IeS lar position. The team will be much faster one-than the Englishmen and the latter will be fully extended to gain the day. These international series are always popular but it is the first time that Swedes have had rep resentative team in the field. The English forwards are the best part of the team and there is sure to be a
 lot of team work shown by this quin- tet as four of the players are regu- lars on the City team while the fifth
 player Harry Ellam is the captain of
 the Bridgeport Rovers team. This line of star forwads played for the
 Bridgeport City team in two games
 recently and know each others tricks thoroughly. The captains of the two teams are Jack Fildes of the English
 team and Santeson for the Swedish team while each side will have it's own linesman as H. Peterson will act on behalf of the Swedish eleven and Harvey Calliss will oficiate for the Englishmen. The referee for the
 game will be Robert Rae, Scotland, | and the game will start promptly at t3:15 D. m. The Lordship trolley company have arranged to run special trolleys direct to the ground from Golden Hill street at 200, 2:30 and D. m. The committee in charge of the game have arranged to give a per- centage of the gate to the funds of the Red Cross society and all tickets 1 that were sold for the postponed game on Good Friday will be available for l this game.

 Leagues Ready to Open
 1918 Baseball Campaign
SILENT TOAST FOR
 FORMER TERMINATE

Boston, April 13.---The Boston American League team arrived here yesterday afternoon in the midst of a driving snowstorm after training trip of two months in the South. Manager Barrow was disappointed to see snow on the diamond at Fenway Park, as unfavora;ble weather for the last week has retarded the teams de- velopment but he has ordered the players to report at the grounds to- day.
 When the train stopped yesterday at Columbus, Ohio, the home of Hank Gowdy, former catcher of the Boston Nationals and now somewhere in France with the National Guard, the players, headed by Johnny Evers, Gowdy's old team mate, stood up and gave the worlds series hero a silent toast.

WILLIAMS WANTS
 TO PLAY BASEBALL

Kid Williams, once bantam cham pion, announces his intention or De- coming a baseball player, and ex- presses the opinion that he is a tidy performer with ball and bat. It by no means is certain that Williams would not be a success as a profes- sional ball player. Details of nu- merous boxing bouts in which he has engaged since he lost the title to Peter Herman indicate that the Baltimorean exhibited the greatest facility in stopping all kinds of blows with his countenance. It might not he amiss to try out the former cham pion at the shortstop position.

One of the features of the series between the Giants and Indians to date has been the failure of Benny Kauff to hit with his accustomed vigor in the face of only fair major league pitching. On only one occasion since the series opened in Dallas last week have the Giants had to bat against hurling that bore a genuine major league brand. That was when they were blanked by Guy Morton in the first game played in New Or leans. Benny, however, has found it

Where Holbrook Is Located

Holbrook? Holbrook Don't you know where Holbrook is? We'll, it's an awful bad place on the thumb-hand side of the track just this side of the Rio Puerco. The Normal Outlaw bunch went down there Wednesday with the best intentions in the world to play a friendly game of baseball. and, what do you think? The pitcher down there was so mean that he wouldn't let our fellows hit the ball enough to get more tallies than they got!
 The Normal bunch only run around the diamond three times and those Holbrookers did it six times-then the nasty umpire said that Holbrook had run around enough to win, for the fuss had kept up nine innings (whatever that isl and the Nor nal Outlaws could just as well go home and rehearse some more.
 This was the NormaPs first time out and they have had a good deal of trouble with snow and ice on the bases and claim that the HoIbrook hand grena- ders have had month the best of the weather. But the next time! o. we'll, just get some one to run after the ball when we hit it. Flagstaff Sun.

Rifle Association
 Elects Officer

Pursuant to call of the se- cretary the Holbrook Rifle Association held a meeting in the superior court room Wednesday night. The trea- .surer's report was read and adopted. This showed the amount of cash on hand to be $84. 10 with a member ship of 35.
 It was the opinion of the members present that the association should be kept alive, even though govern ment rifles can not be se- cured at this time. A mo- tion prevailed to that effect and the old officers, with the exception of Lew H. Mickey who has moved to Phoenix, were elected. These are:
 Chas. Osborne, president; c. P. Cooley, vicepresident; D. L. Bundy, secretary; J. M. Patterson, treasurer, Jos. F. Woods, executive officer.
 As there is no immediate use for the money now in the treasury, it was decided to invest the entire amount in Bonds and War stamps. This has already been done.

CUTTING THE GERMANS
 OUT OF WOOL CRAFT

Of all the war gratis which have been worked in this coun- try perhaps those operated by the woolen mills have been the most outrageous. Even without the unexcusable spread between buying and selling prices. which has been nothing short of rob- bery, there has been a skimping of weights and a use of shoddy sufficient to make manufacturers rich.
 It is not surprising therefore that we are now getting news from Washington concerning the German control which has been exercised over woolen manufac- turers. Partly to break this con- trol and largely in accordance with the law and administrative policy toward the property of alien enemies, the United States government has seized six wool en mills in the state of New Jer- sey alone. These mills are said to represent a total value of $70, 900, 1000. They will be kept in operation and during the war the earnings will go into federal treasury for Liberty loans.

If Statements of Oil Men Are Carried Out, Several Boring Rigs Will Be In Operation in the Field Before Long; Geologists Are Unanimous in Recom- mending Holbrook as a Likely Field.

Interest continues to be displayed every hand in reference the Holbrook oil field As the days roll the people here becoming convinced that it is than possible that great and prolific field will eventually be developed Biologists tell that have hereabous all the indications of great Oproducng eld that it is probable that the basins to contain the oil exist that the formations almost identical in all principal respects with those developed in the great Oklahoma and Kansas fields Those two immense oil sections are known the world over as among the most prolific and extensive

 It s therefore, necessary that geological conditions be studied carefully order to ascertain pos sble to do so whether not the proper conditions at hand before going to the expense of drilling.
 During the past month at least five geologists have studied the eld and still studying it. They are unit it their determination that Hobroo is the center of

Enemy Alien Suspect

Alexander Johnson was ar raigned in Justice Boyer's court last Friday upon the charge of creating disturbance in Chinese Sam's restaurant. He was ad- judged guilty and was sentenced by the court to serve thirty days in jail and to pay a fine of $25. He is now serving the jail sen tence and in the meantime his record is being investigated by the Federal authorities as he is suspected of being an alien enemy of the United States.
 Johnson created a disturbance in the restaurant when Sam re- fused to serve him an order of ham and eggs. the latter being of the opinion that the day was porkless one.
 Whether Johnson is found to be an alien enemy or not, it is evident from his talk and actions that he is an I. w. w., and as such he should be interned.
