seen in action at Norwich, promises the fight fans that Chamberlain will have no easy time with one who has earned the name of being one of the eleanest and most aggressive fighters in the navy.
 Young Michaels, who fought the main bout with Chamberlain at the last fight in Norwich, expects to Kayo the state pier champion, Frankie Ryan.
 Norwich fight fans can be sure of seeing plenty of action in this bout, for both of these boys have the repu- tation of being among the topnotchers In the 155 pounds class of the navy.
 Johnnie Balzerene, the 145 pound champion of Fort Terry, will have to put up a great battle this time in or der to gain the decision over Schad of the sub base.
 The last fight between these two boys at the sub base was a slam bang affair, with honors even at the finish, but the sailor has improved a great deal in the past few weeks and it is doubtful if the soldier can win.
 Red Rankin of Norwich, who knock ed out Sailor Johnnie Burt at the last smoker, will fight Sailor Geacoble- e the state pier. and the sailors claim that Rankin will be lucky if he stays the limit Geacoble has earned a name as being a game and aggressive fighter and is an offensive fighter at all times.

The submarine base claims to have one of the best boxing clubs in the navy and the fans can be assured of slashing affair through out. The Submarine Base band will be on hand and any who have been for tunate enough to hear them play will know that they are an entertainment Tn themselves. ~ The management of the affair is un- der the direction of Chief Yeoman Mo l Donough, secretary treasurer, Chfe1 Printer Maydole, publicity agent, and Chief Printer Kennedy, president.

ONE CHANGE MADE IN
 SHOOTING REGULATIONS

A single change in the Federal shooting regulations is announced for this year. It pertains to shooting be- fore sunrise.
 Under the present regulations, shooting before sunrise is forbidden; !; but there has been great demand, especially from Western States, for a change in this regulation.
 The representation is made that in many of these States ducks leave the lakes early in the morning to feed in the fields, and do not return until night-fall. This is particularly the case in the intermountain States, where there is not a great deal of water, and the opportunities to shoot waterfowl are few
 The Secretary of Agriculture there fore announces change in this reg ulation to permit shooting from one- half hour before sunrise until sunset This applies to to the entire country It does not, however, replace the State law where the State law, as in the case of Missouri, imposes a stricter pro- hibition.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS UNSETTLED.
IndustriaIs and Equipments Showed the Greatest Strength.

New York, June 3.-Divergent war developments left their impress on to- days stock market. Early bulletins of a hopeful tenor sent leading issues considerabl yover last weeks final prices but these were surrendered be- fore midday on the news of the pres ence of enemy submarines in nearby waters.
 The setback was very substantially retrieved in the final hour, when short coverings, especially in speculative fla vorites, resulted in rallies of one to three points.
 shippings were the only laggards, Marines preferred reacting five points after its initial gain of one and three quarters. Explanation for this irregu- lar course was found in the companys report for 1917, which disclosed a marked decrease in net earnings and surplus, due to recognized war condi- tions.
 Industrials and equipments led the confident rise at the opening as well as the rebound toward the close, vari- ous steels, aldwin Locomotive Gen eral Electric, Coppers, Oils and To- baccos gaining one to four and one- half points. Trailing along more mod erately were the motors. feathers, fer tilizers and chemical issues. -
 Rails for a time suggested revival of, last weeks inquiry, especially Read ing, Union Pacific, St. Paul and New Haven. but strength in that quarter proved of short duration. American Woolen. American Can and Pittsburgh Coal represented the firm to strong miscellaneous shares. Sales amounted to 740,000 shares.

"skeeter" State to Have Drastic Rinq
 Rules.

The New Jersey boxing commission is drafting set of rules which is ex- pected to outdo even that of Wisconsin in it's strictness. From remarks drop ped by the members of the board, the regulations will be the most drastic in the history of glove contests. One of the rules will set a maximum price for seats at any bout. This will be done with the object of discouraging specu- lators from staging bouts between noted boxers at exorbitant rates. The framers of the rule declare that the history of boxing under commission rule shows that the so-called star per formers never have given a fair re- turn in boxing for the large sums paid by the public. Another rule that is likely to be adopted is one to license all boxers. By providing that boxer must demonstrate his ability before getting license the board will assure patrons of intelligent effort in the ring. This will do away with the practice of throwing two novices in the ring and compelling them to mix it bar room style.

New York, June s.-The winning drive of the New York Americans was the feature of the major leagues play during the past week.
 The Yankees won six games and lost one. Boston retained its lead of one game, however, as both Boston and New York lost Sunday to Detroit and Chicago, respectively. The St. Louis Americans went into third place ahead of Cleveland because of the Indians poor fielding and ineffective though heavy batting.
 Chicago cut New York's lead in the National league to one and a half games. Boston continued it's good play, winning five and losing two, and Philadelphia won four and lost two.
 Cincinnati had a poor week, drop ping three games to Philadelphia and dividing two with Chicago. Philadel- phia ended Toney's winning streak on Sunday, his first defeat of the season. Pittsburgh lost two to Boston, giving the Braves a clean sweep of the three game series, and won two out of three with St. Louis. Boston took three out of four from Brooklyn, which went into last place. Ames of St. Louis pitched the two victories over Brooklyn. while Grimes blanked the Cardinals Monday with no hits.
 The first east versus west clash re- suited in favor of the west in the Ma tional league by 30 games to 26, and the east in the American league by 31 games to 27. In the National, Boston, the only eastern team successful in the west won 10 and lost-5 while Cin- cinnati, with the same record led the westerners, with Chicago a close sec ond, with games won and 6 lost. Bos- ton made the best showing in the American league winning 10 games out of fl, while St. Louis. the only west ern team with a winning record in the east, won g games and lost $. New York won games out of fl. Phila- delphia divided each series evenly.

 feated the Killingly High school so. The high school boys started strong, getting two hits in the first inning, the only hits they made ruring the game. In the first for H. N. S., Jodoin walked, stole second and third, scoring on wild pitch by Passmore.
 Everything was quiet the next few innings, until Jewett City broke out with two runs. Three successive hits netted three more runs in the eighth inning. That ended the scoring. / Big Spike" Liberty pitched ir-tight ball from the first inning, allowing only one man to reach third base, and he was caught mapping, being beautifully tagged out by Faber.

 and rightly, that this war will not be won on the battlefield alone, but on the farm, because there the food for the fighters is produced? The same argu- ment holds here We need the game for food, and while it may not be sent to the front, the packers will have more meat to ship if game is eaten instead by those remaining at home.
 There are plenty of men in this coun- try to kill the same-men who cannot go to the front, but who can do their bit in supplying food.
 The present laws are right. Leave them as they are. The country will profit by the reasonable food supply thus made available.
 The American people will stick to the middle ground. We will neither deprive ourselves of game nor will we annihilate it. We have too much com mon sense to be led astray by radical extremes,
