SPORTING NOTES.

There are some who believe that the
 rights of the individual player, who
 makes the game possible, have been
 entirely lost sight of in the mess that
 has been stirring around Peoria way.
 Bolshevism spreads faster than scan
 dal, says the Newark News in com
 menting on the situation. It has skip ed across the Atlantic, hoped right
 over the eastern section of the coun-
 try and parked in Peoria, where the
 National Association of Professional
 Baseball Leagues has been cooking up another war. The little fellows of
 baseball demand the privilege of put ting their players 5on the auction block
 and knocking 'eml down to the highest bidder or keeping them if they de- sire.
 Sir Thomas Lipton is an active gen tieman and hardly had the armistice
 been signed before he kicked up some thing that looked like a noise con- corning a yacht race for the Ameri- ca's cup. Sir Thomas is mindful of the fact that he has one perfectly good sloop under cover in a Brooklyn yard and that it has been there ever since the outbreak of the great war in 1914 There's no use in Juggling the thing
 back to England again without first giving him a chance to see if this lat est English creation is as good ss he says it is.
 There are two great men in the
 American League, barring ot
 course the man who thinks he's
 great-Ban Johnson. Capt. Tyrus R. Cobb, now in the gas and flame div ision, is one and Walter Johnson premier pitcher of the Washington club the other. What we have to say here chiefly concerns the buzz ball king. Like Cobb he has been keeping
 up his wonderful work in baseball year after year, with no seeming letup
 on his part and doing it so effectively that there are few pitchers in this pe- riod who have outranked him, even for a single season in the Il he has been laboring for the once famous l tailenders. Announcement of the i pitching lgures for last season

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL

New York, Nov. 25.-iF'mancial, in dustrial and political developments exerted in varying degree their dis turbing influence over today's active stock market. the latter factor prob ably outweighing all other cons1dera tions.

 Trade conditions also were viewed with less pessimism in conservative circles, where it was recognized that Washington is directing it's energies toward a definite programme of read justment with the least disturbance to the country's important industries.
 Secretary McAdoo's forthcoming re- tirement from the management of the nations transportation systems fur nished the political element, that fea- ture being clearly seen in the heavi- ness of rails, including many of the seasoned issues.

 New Haven Dairy Co, addition to factory, Pequot avenue. Cost $3,o00. STATE BUILDING AND BUSINESS.
 Only one new incorporation is re- ported in this state for the week, and that with capital stock of $1G,000 in comparison with seven new companies a year ago, with $470,000 capital, and 12 companies in 1916, with SS7o,00O capital.
 The record of petitions ir bank ruptcy filed in Connecticut continues to make a good showing The three bankrupts reported last week have aggregate liabilities of $7,087, agains; assets of $2,025. These figures com pare with four bankrupts in 1917, with liabilities of. s20,5S6 ana assets of s17,673, and two failures in 1916, with liabilities of $1.839 and assets of $1,- All.
 A further shrinkage in the volume of real estate transactions is noted in the record of sales and mortgages for the past week. In the Connect cut towns reported in The Commercial Record there were 262 sales during the week, with mortgage loans amounting to s517,327, against 37S sales in the same towns during the like week of 19t7 with mortgage loans Of $1,026,22S.
 The removal of restrictions on building operations seems to have come so unexpectedly that owners and builders have not vet had an oppor- tUnity to realize that practically all building may now proceed, with the exception of structures requiring a great amount of steel is the policy of the war board now to encourage build ing in order that men may find em- ployment. While the record of per- mits issued in the leading cities of the state was unusually low last week. it is more than likely that many delayed projects will now proceed if weather conditions are favorable.
 Norwich had four sales of real es- tate last week to seven for the same week last year. The mortgage loans were $7200 and $12.150.
 In New London there were nine sales Of realty last week to seven for the same week last year. The loans for the respective weeks were $13,S5O and $17,450.

NORWICH TOWN

Rev. Henry T. Arnold was in charge of a most impressive ser 5ice Sunday afternoon at the Sheltering Arms Hope was the theme of Mir Arnolds sermon, which was founded on the first chapter of the First Fpistle of St. Peter. Hope is something unseen but felt, Rev. MT Arnold said. We hope for the things which are to come to us tomorrow, Or in the future yet when reached often they disaproint us. God has given us this beautiful world as staircase that we might learn as we go through life to realize what is to come to us in the world beyond, a world which is much more beautiful than this. Some profess rot to be lieve in this beyond, because they can not sec it, but how wrong they are Hope is solid We all have hopes, some disappointed, but the hope of God and reaching Heaven is a sure one
 We must all obey the laws of God if we expect to live in rhis land be- yond., The requirements Of the hu- man soul ara not satisfied unless men have the love of God in their hears. Life is ours, God gives it to us, and you can have this love in your hearts by praying and asking 1lore of Him each one of you in this household. Hope may be in the hearts of those who are unable to atten,; church as well as those who attend the stately cathedral. The beautiful Christian hopes we will soon sing about at Christmas time. are the hopes we all want. The whole world not only wants but needs them, especially since the sacrifices of this great war. So the messige of this gospel is 2 lively hope, a solid hope, Christian hope in the hearts of us and all the world

Robin son; Hymn to Night, Beethoven: i: There's @ Long, Long Trail, Elliott; Deep River, Beach. The same quartette sang at Old Elms. when the Norwich Music Association held it's conclud- ing concert there for tho season of 1917 and 1918. The members are Charles H. Lamb, first tenor; James 1 J. Moore, second tenor; Archibald Mac Dougal, first bass and Raymond V | Congdon, second bass. Miss Annie Taft accompanied on the piano with her
 usual sympathy and skill.

THE NEW MIGRATORY
BIRD LAW

BIRD LAW Don't take a shot at a wood or cider duck or you may get into trou- ble. These birds, among others, are wholly protected by the new Federal Migratory Bird Law.
 This protection is the result of a treaty between the United States and | Canada making certain birds in most l of the North American continent inn
 mune from shot or bullet. Recent ratification by the Senate gives effect | to the treaty.
 1 For the most part there are but slight changes in the law as it was
 established by the Weeks Mclean bill several years ago.
 i Some of the main features of the
 regulations as they have now become | effecaive are:
 No spring open season at all. The fall open season throughout the, coun- 1 try is made more uniform than be-
 fore. In. general way this is be- | tween September and January 31, with period of not more than three and
 one-half months for individual spe- cies. There are some exceptions; for
 example, the shore bird season in cer-
 tain New England and Middle Atlan- tic States which opens August Is and closes November 30.
 All States in the country have the right to enforce their own individual i laws, provided these do not interfere with Federal rulings. They are not permitted to extend the Federal open season.
 Uniform bag limits are set for the whole country; a hunter is not allow ed to ship more than two davs' bag limit in any one week. The daily bag limits for one person are as fol- lows:
 Ducks (except wood and eider) 25 1 in aggregate of all kinds; geese, in aggregate of all kinds; rails. coots and gallinules, 25 in aggrebate of all kinds; black -bellied and golden plov- CTS and greater and lesser yellowlegs, 15 in aggregate of all kinds: Wilson snipe or jacksnipe, 25; woodcock, G.; doves (mourning and white -winged) 25 in aggregate of both kinds.
 No Night Hunting. No night hunting is allowed This
 prohibits the hunting of migratory
 birds between sunset and half hour

with their property, but what about the players? A ballplayer has as much right to advance in his pro- fession as an alderman or anyone else, but the minor league club owners would absolutely control the advance ment of players by the system pro- posed at Peoria. Such a system would start a row between the minors and players. The big minors object to the big league drafting from them, but they demand the right to draft play CTS from the smaller minors. Looks like single track democracy.
 Did you ever know that Noah was oncee heavyweight champion of the world? Yep, he was. But the guy we were talking about wasn't the one who padded around the Ark. This chap was Noah Brusso, who used to box under the name of Tommy Burns.
 As a result of the interest in the football games the athletic direc- tor has added the sport to the reg ular program of play day. events for the troops. This is probably the first appearance of football in the trODicS.

BUILDING ACTIVITIES SHOULD INCREASE

With all restrictions on building having been removed during the past week, building is set back on to the same basis as prevailed before the war Had the restrictions been removed several months earlier, there would have been an immediate increase in building operations in this vicinity as several large plants have been con- templating building extensive additions to their plants. One plant which in- tended building a practically new mill was stopped by the war restrictions, as were several other plants in the Norwich vicinity. The cold weather now prevents the starting of any ex- tensive building.
 The work on the Blissville bridge, which has been under way for the past few months, is nearing completion and is expected to be opened for traffic by the last of this month or the first of next. The bridge was to have been opened about the middle of November.
 The, r. T. Ley Construction company of Springfield, who have been at work on the power house for the Eastern Power company, has rushed the work at Montville during the past two months, with the result that the build ing is practically ready for some of the electrical apparatus to be installed. The main building has practically been completed and the two large chimneys have been erected and are plainly visi- ble from the New London turnpike, as is part of the brick structure.
 Also the work at the former com- pressed air plant is being brought to a close before the extreme cold weather starts in.
 At the Buckingham Memorial there is a considerable amount of repair work going on. A staging has been erected on the west end of the build ing and workmen are engaged in re- airing the chimney and other places that need attention.
 In Taftville, Arthur Lambert has erected a new garage on Merchants avenue for the accommodation of three cars. The building is partitioned off into three separate rooms or garages which will be rented to automobile owners. The building is one story high and of wood construction.
 The garage for the American Waste and Metal company has been roofed over and the window castings set in place The floor of the garage will be laid this coming week.

Commander of the Marine Barracks. Paris Island, s. C., previous to as- spming his duties at Quantico and before that time had been Fleet Marine Officer of the Atlantic Fleet for about two years.

During the Boxer uprising at Picking, China in 1900, the Marines under his command, together with handful of Russian, English, Aus trian and German troops defeated the rebellious Chinese. General Myers, at that time a Captain, was wounded during this fighting in the right leg, by an iron pointed spear and was brevetted for gallantry in action.

Declares Fish Sunburnt.

A patient angler Was fishing from n jetty at a seaside resort, and two risi- tors were watching him. Most of the fish caught were flat fish, and the tw" watchers began to argue why the fish were brown on one side and white on the other. One suggested that the fish were originally all white, but that. sleeping on their backs in the mud. they had become sO sOiled that it wouldn't wash off.
 This was SO ridiculed by the other man that. angrily. he bet any amount that his theory was cnrrect.
 Upon the case being put to the angler, he remarked: You are entire ly wrong. The real cause of one side being brown Is that the fish have been swimming 80 long with their backs : uppermost that they have got sun burnt"
