as they came TO n stand in front of the

lowing the float of Goddesses came the one
that received most applause and admira-
ton, because of the inscription 1t bore.
In the float was represented Pericles, head
OF the first Athenean Republic at the time
the Persian Barbarians were held of by
the Greek warriors. The sign read:
Greece held off the Barbarians, 4SO IS Z.
Uncle Sam holds of the Barbarians
today" Bt what proved to be the
most interesting ana Yet not now inquire,
was that of Uncle Sam represented by
George Caros. He WIS as near an image
of the ''old Gent" as was seen IN many n

Trolley Bowling League to Open Dec. Il

At preliminary meeting of the Trolley Bowling League held in Taft vile "Wednesday. Dec. 4. it was decided to open the league on Wednes- day, Deo. il and now plans for the league have been completed.
 Much interest is being shown by tho local wood splitters, as the teams represented in the league are comprised of some of the best bowlers in eastern Connecticut. There are four teams in the league of five men each and are explained by the following men: Taftville, Fred Dugas; Palace, Norwich. John Francis McCar- ty; Baltic, Henry Morin, and Willi- mantle, MT. Conrad.
 The Norwich team is made up of he best men that Norwich can rro- duce and is practically the same team as the Fearless Five.
 Plans were also formulatel for s6o to be given in cash prizes and to be distributed as follows: First prize, $20: second prize, $15; third prize, s1N; fourth prizes $; high single, s; nigh three strings, $3; and individual ave- rage g.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STOCKS. MARKET VAS DULL.

New York, Dec. 5.-Stocks drifted idly during the greater part of today's extremely professional session, prices of many leading issues evincing a further disposition to decline under moderate pressure.
 Reversion to the old rule on stock margins, permitting brokers to loan up to 80 per cent. on collateral, failed to stimulate outside interest in the slightest degree. nor did this modified tion tend to relax rates for money.
 Pools were fairly active, neverthe- less, in such speculative favorites as tobaccos, motors, oils. sugars and sev- eral miscellaneous issues, gross gains in these diyiions ranging from two to almost ten points.
 Interest in the general industrial situation was heightened by the pub. lication of reviews and surveys which n1a6e pessim;.5tic referencesf to the future of the steel and iron trade, with predictions, of 8 general cut in pre- vailing price schedules.
 U. s. Steel was the objective of in- cessant pressure. although yielding only half point at the close. Other industrials and equipments also made material recoveries in the final hour and gas shares featured the utilities at gains of two to four points, although local fractions were inclined to yield

COMING TO THE DAVIS, MONDAY, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY

remarkable revival of the sport within the next few years with a decided change in the system of racing. Dual and triangular regattas at distances ranging from one -and-a-half to two miles are expected to surplant, the pre-war long distance events. No less than ten eastern institutions arc eX- pected to revive rowing under these conditions. As many are within twelve hours or less travel of each other ehere will be little difficulty in arranging numerous short races for the week end just as football track meets and other competitions are conducted: More crews are likely to be boated and the idea of final and perhaps championship regatta at a- distance ranging from two to three miles has never been abandoned, being held in abeyance as the result of the war,
 Conditions on the Pacific coast would appear to be somewhat differ ent where. up to the present time, Stamford, Washington and California have been the only universities to suP port the sport in a systematic manner. Should Rice, however, elect to accept an offer from the other side of the continent it would mean q tremendous boom for intersectional rowing. Sev- eral college crews from the far coast have competed in Poughkespsi9 i'll past years and always have created a powerful impression owing to their superb physical proportions and de- velopments.
 Such material under Rice's coaching for few months would be formidable contenders for the highest intercolle- giate rowing honors of the country. A varsity eight from any one of the three mentioned Pacific coast univer- sities with six months training under Rice and his methods would come
 close to being an odds-on favorite in 1 the historic Hudson river regatta.

EIGHT MEN TIED IN
 SIX DAY BICYCLE RACE

Madison Square Garden. New York, Dec. 6.-The enforced retirement of Henri Gerwig and Willie Keller, be- cause of the formers. illness, reduced the. field of riders in the six day bicy- cle race at Madison Square Garden to an even dozen teams. At midnight eight of the teams were tied with a mark of 1,666 miles and laps each. Two other teams were one lap behind the leaders. The record for 96 hours is 1904 miles and laps, made here four years ago by Cameron and Kaiser.
 Marcel Dupuy, the French rider, who lost his partner, the veteran Frank Kramer, early yesterday, and teamed up with Bellows. responsible for a lot of the lively springing which furnish ed the excitement tonight. McNamara and his teammate, Magin, however, were the men who scored the great est number of points, according to the French method of scoring, having a tally of 29S, while Madden and Corry were in second place with 241 and Brenda and Hill were next with 184. As the point scoring is confined to the eight leading teams, Dupuy and his partner, Bello, who are two laps behind, did not benefit by their hard
 work and they were not even abel to gain a lap after making several ear- nest attempts to do so.

JIM RICE MAY ACCEPT
 POSITION ON WEST COAST

New York, Dec. 5.-The announce
 ment7 that Jim Rice, former rowing
 coach at Columbia University, is con-
 sidering the acceptance Of a similar
 position with Pacific Coast college
 opens. a field of interesting possibili-
 ties. Rice is one of the best rowing
 instructors in the country, his closest
 rivals in the past having been Court ney, of Cornell, and Jim Wray, Sr., of Syracuse, both of whom have retired from the coaching within the past few seasons.
 Because he is considered the peer
 among the active coaches at the pres ent time. Rice's services are being eagerly sought by no less than five colleges or universities, all Of which are preparing to re-enter rowing upon q larger scale within the next two years. Of these three are eastern in- stitutions with worthy rowing tradi- tiens and records at their backs and if it is a question of salary alone, they will meet willingly any figures which
 n1dy be offered by Pacific coast uni- versailles.
 There is a field for greater activity 1 in rowing among the Eastern college than would be the case should Rice

A NATION OF SHOOTERS.
Written by Peter F. Carney Editor Natinnal Snnrts SNndicate

Written by Peter F. Carney
 Editor National Sports Syndicate.
 Now that she war is oyer and peace once more reigns throughout the world America will again be @ nation of shooters.
 The world again is used advisedly. In bygone days, before my time and yours, every American could shoot and shoot straight. Shooting in those memorable days was necessary for the protection of the home and to supply the lardor.
 As the population of the United States increased and America gained wealth and strength through it's varied industries many of us failed to give the same time and consideration to firearms that our forefathers did. Here after every son of Uncle Sam will be | friendly with a gun. whether he is now wearing khaki, or stIll in his teens. We have learned something that we will be long time forgetting. When the Tanks return home, one, | two or three millions of them, after a years fighting over the hattle1elds of Flanders, and knee-Geep in the muddy trenches of France, and having 1 for a companion all this time rifle or shotgun, they will be expert shoot 1 CTS The return of the Tanks bring us back to our original statement that America will again be a Nation of | Shooters.
 l The day is coming when no city or | town, big or small, will be able to meet it's requirements without a gun club. There are now 1923 of these gun clubs in America and there will Je double that number in the days that we will | live to see. It was these schools of l shoting instruction that helped answer the charge of unpreparadness against | the United States for they turned out ! the shooters who in their first fight stopped the Huns and thereafter drove
 the Germans back.
 A Game They'll Always Play. Shooting is now a game with Amer | jeans. Many have played it in the past,
 millions more will play it in the fu-
 ture. Shooting hereafter will be taken
 up with just as much vim as football,
 baseball, golf, and our other favorite pastimes Our soldiers and aviators have been taught to shoot with the shotguns in the cantonments and fly
 ing schools and no man passed a suc-
 cessful examination as an aviatGr who
 could not break flying targets with a
 shotgun. Tho shotgun to the boy of
 the future will be what the lariat is to
 the cowboy Of today.
 One thing we will have to remember is that a great many men in returning from the battlefields will never again return to office routine. They have ae-
Norwich bulletin., 1918-12-06

cumulated that desire for outdoor life that will change their mode of living upon returning. They will go farming and other outdoor activities. The United States government realizes this and has plans underway for the distri- button of farm land for those who have so honorably served the country and aided in making the world free for all peoples.
 The shotgun is the companion of all those who relish outdoor freedom. Americans enter into the spirit of shooting as they enter into other sports. They will use the gun not for the purpose of killing, but for the pur- pose of hitting the target aimed at. Breaking the thrown target is their goal, just as knocking out home run when ono run is needed to Win, is the | goal of the ball player
 Shooting is the national sport in i Switzerland and has been since the 1 time of the mythical William Tell shot i the apple from his sons head. Due tc a splendid system of universal train i ing the Swiss army is one of the fin est bodies Of marks1nen in the world The boy goes to school at the age ot '.

TRlS SPEAKER HAS NO
 DESIRE TO BECOME MANAGER

Boston, Dec. 5.-Tris Speaker, the Cleveland American league outfielder, told friends today that he had heard nothing regarding the report from New York that he would be offered the position of manager of the club and that he did not want the job.
 T have all the trouble I care for" he said, "'in covering center field and in trying to bat in the 300 division. While I look forward with anticipation to the baseball season, I would not care to manage the Cleveland club"
 Speaker although now on the in active list Of the naval aviation school at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will continue to wear the uniform for some weeks. He plans to leave for his home in Texas next week, accompanied by Leslie Nunamaker of the St. Louis American league club. They will hunt until the spring train ing season starts.

as soon as war was declared in 1914, and due to the accuracy of the Swiss with all kinds of firearms no one has trifled with them.
 The Swiss think highly of their army as the following conversation between the former emperor of Germany and a Swiss general indicates. Shortly after the war began the kaiser that was att tending shooting carnival at Berne, Wilhelm piled the Swiss general with questions, such as:
 How many man could your country put on the field in week?" said the all highest that was.
 About oo,o00," answered the Swiss general.
 What would you do if I came against yea with 1000 900 men?' said Wilhelm.
