The Westerly Public Library has received q copy of Booklet No. 5, Stetson Kindred of America, which has a full page picture of The Saun- ders Homestead, Westerly. R. L, with this explanatory footnote: Birthplace of Thankful Saunders Stetson. Built in 1884: enlarged in 1765. (See Saun- ders' manuscript, N. B. Vars, 1874, Westerly Memorial Library) In 1734 Stephen Saunders gave the s. E. cor ner of Thls Farm to 'his beloved son. in-law, Cornelius Stetson,' who built there the old tavern"
 The author writes: After eonclud- ing our search of the Westerly rec ords, taking for our guide the old deed and sketch of the burying ground, we set about locating the old Stetson homestead. Several of the oldest resi- dents were interviewed, but none had ever heard of Cornelius. the old tav- ern, or Attiquampo brook. At last, however, one aged lady who had been
 born in Mantle, near Shattuck's Weir Bridge six miles from Westerly vil-
 lage, related that she had often heard
 her mother tell of Thankful Stetson'
 good old soul with a lisp, and firm in the faith of the Seventh Day Bap- tist church. One incident had made d lasting impression on her. When aged and in her last sickness Thank ful had said: I hear a voice calling Thankful! Thankful, and 1 know now | that the Comforter has come. Thus l passed Thankful, granddaughter ot
 Cornelius and Thankful, and the last l of the Stetsons in Westerly"

| Buffalo Courier: President Wilson's
reply is a brilliant piece Of war di-
plomacy. He has turned down the
main desire for an armistice and at
the same time put upon the chancellor
the responsibility of saying whether
the Germans will accept terms which
are in fact a complete surrender.
Baltimore Sun: Probably no one else
in the country would have answered
the chancellor in the manner adopted
by the President. The general feel
ing, if the press and other comment
on the matter is to be taken as an in
dication, was that the right answer
would be simply hot demand for I'M

MINIS LOSE TO
GIANTS is TO 7

The game Sunday afternoon at Elk
hibition Park between the Springfield
MINIS and the Richmond Giants ended
in a walkaway for the Richmond
bunch after they had scored 16 runs
to the MINIS 7.
In the first inning the MINIS scored
one run when Hayes singled and went
to third on Massy's bunt and came
across the pan on a long fly to left
field. The fans Immediately thought
that the Richmond bunch was beaten
but when they came to bat they prov
ed they could win.
Francis secured base on balls and
went to second on a delayed steal and
scored on a two-bagger by Jones. Aft
er this is was just a question Of who
cold hit the farthest on the Richmond
team and Jones seemed to be able to
hit the hardest as he hit home run
in the second time up in the first in
ming. The Giants batted around
once and one-half and every man on
the team scored run in the first.
After the first inning the Giants let
the MINIS run the bases as they
pleased but they did not seem to get
very far kept in the third and fourth
when they scored two and three runs.
Two or three of the MINIS best men
were unable to come and this fact ac-
counts for the poor playing of the Wis
itors.
The Springfield team did not ar
rive until four-thirty because Of car
trouble west of Dayton and for this
reason the game was called in the
fifth at about o'clock. The score:
2 3 4 5-R. H. E.

Recent pictures from France show
that Georges Carpenter, the famous
French heavyweight. still finds time
to do a little boxing. But it is only
for the pleasure of his soldie, com
rades or to aid some worthy war fund
And incidentally these pictures show
that the big fellow is in good physical
condition-unless his wounds have In
jured him internally.
CARPENTER is enc of the many box
ers who have shown their sportsman
ship and gameness by dropping their
gloves to don rife or man cannon.
Discussion Of the French idol brings
to mind the fact that when the war is
over the boxers now in the war who
reenter the ring game will be the
men to distate terms. The boxers and
managers who are still trying to
pluck the public and grow fat while
the other ring stars are fighting for
them and their kind will be the dogs
at the back door, bowling for some
thing to eat.
If Georges comes through the war
shipshape we'd like to see him in &C
ton Set him up against any heavy
weight Put a few German prisoners
where he would get look at them
occasionally to whet his appetite and
then let the bout proceed,
1t must grieve the big league base
ball magnates to know there are some
things in the world bigger than the
national commission - the United
States and the war, for instance.
Five national champion ships have
been scheduled for decision at the thir-
ty-eighth annual tournament of the
United States National Lawn Tennis
association on the turf of the West
Side Tennis club at Forest Hills next
month.
Four Of the events on the program
are confined to singles for boys, for
juniors, for men and for veterans. The
fifth event is to be the much talked
of doubles for pairs composed Of ia
Their and son.
1t is the first time in the history
of the national tournament that such
an ambitious program and one hav-
ing such breadth of scope has been
attempted.
That the interest of the war depart
ment is keen for the development Of
all sports that end toward the improve
ment of physical condition Of citizens
and possible recruits was shown by
the presence at the session of two
officials from Washington.

NATCO TEAM AT
HEAD OF S. A. L.;
DEFEAT SIMPLEX

The extra inning Of the game be-
tween the Simplex and the National
Automatics Saturday proved too much
for the former who weakened and al
lowed Davis to slam single to left
center and score Herbie Logan with
the winning run. The final score was
10. In the first game the Jenkins
Vulcan crew with Sturm and kutter
in form found the Malleable bunch
easy and won 11-2.
In the main game Of the afternoon
Hawekotte had it over on Minner and
famed Is men while MINER was fan
ming two and he allowed four hits
while Minner allowed seven to reach
the first sack on hits. The game was
alright and fast until the last of the
eighth inning when the Natco5 put
over their winning run. Barehand
catches by Rettinghaus and Hartman
were features of the game.
In the first game of the double bill
II. Hawekotte started the game for
the malleables but after letting in
runs and 10 hits he was "jerked" and
Hartman was sent in to relieve him.
Kutter. the young Jenkins hurler who
was started in the S. A. l.. league a
few weeks ago. was in fine form and
held the Malleables scoreless for
three innings and after the fifth
Sturm went in and kept up the good
work. The Malleable aggregation did
not seem to be able to get together
and this probably accounts for their
loose playing.
The Natcos now lead the league and
the Malleables grace the cellar posi-
ton. The league standing is as fol-
