suits Hence the cry for Matty.
 If Matty went over and got into the base ball end of it things sure would pick up in that sport wherever he was. Of course a fellow who goes into this game buries himself. He's
 not going to be a sporting page head liner or anything like that But he ! is. going to be as great as they make i them for greatnesS, as the philosoph-
 CTS say, is nothing more than doing thing privately that you might do 1 publicly And the greatest greatness ] must be, doing just this thing when it ] helps the boys who are going to make i; the world safe for democracy, base ] ball ct al
 1 Speaking of Mathewson reminds me i of a yarn they tell at Camp Dix. In one of the Y. M. huts the boys were playing checkers one night last fall.
 A man walked ill dressed in civilian
 clothes and got into conversation with l the secretary on duty. | Say" he said, q bet my boy could | lick anyone in this camp at checkers" Who is your boy?" asked the sec retary.
 "Mathewson," And he took lot of
 pride in saying it, so the secretary told l me.
 l No, you won't get any notority ab- out doing athletic work overseas, but
 you will get a heap of satisfaction so those over there who have written back here tell us. You won't even have your sailing date announced or have
 any friends at the dock to waive a l good by. But when you get back home you will feel a heap more com fortable for the service you gave and you will have had an experience in sport that will fit you for any tend
 in that line which will come follow ing the war

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS IRREGULAR
Condition Was Ascribed to Foreign Despatches on the Russian Situation

New York, June 2S.-For want of a more definite or specific reason, the dull and irregular course of today's stock market, was ascribed to foreign despatches on the Russian situation, which were so beWildering as to limit trading to the professional element.
 Prices were hesitant from the out set, occasionally becoming heavy on pressure against investment rails and recognized industrials. Abrupt fiuc- tuations in specialties like General Motors, Sumatra Tobacco and other issues under pool guidance were not conducive to general improvement.
 United States Steel was less prom inent and moved in a more limited area, closing at a loss of almost a point. Related shares were influenced by the sluggishness of Steel, forfeit ing much of their uneven advantage in the stagnant final hour
 During the intermediate session metals came forward briskly on an- nouncement that the question of cop per prices would soon again come be- fore the war board, but the market as whole lacked leadership or bullish initiative. Sales were 435,000 shares. Further relaxation was manifested by time money and call loans were easier than at recent week Bonds were irregular, mainly as a result of variations of small fractions in the foreign group. Russian 5's and | 6 1-2's gained from three to four points on the "curb." Total sales l (par va1ue) aggregated $S,350,OO0. Old U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

While there sometimes mar be dupli- cation of effort and therefore waste in the army athletic game in our train ing camps in this country, a condition due more to patriotic zeal on the part to anything else, when we consider athletic affairs with our forces over seas we may congratulate ourselves that a similar condition does not exist. There Gen. Pershirg has turned that job over to but one organization-th one best backed and equipped to run 1t-and we need not be surprised if that leaders judgment is cindicated.
 The organization which tls under taken this job is known among the men overseas as the Red Triangle" It is the Y. M. c. A. of your own home town, consecrated to service and practicing religion that spells just that. The Red Triangle is a live wire, full of American pep. Like the Red Cross its symbol is service and mercy and its members, although civilians stationed for the most part back of the front line trenches, have now and then paid the heavy toll
 It is well that the American forces have an organization like the Red Tri- angle back of them. It spells efficiency in large way. The Red Triangle has a rule it lives up to which counts heavily in the long run. It considers no one for work overseas who is eligi- ble for military duty. Men, big men in their speciaities, of draft age. cannot serve in France. Briefly this means

ion, the YanniganS putting across two runs in the first inning. They got an- other in the second and one more in the third and up to this point not a Taftville man had seen first. Hous- ton attracted attention to himself in the last of the third and Taftville put across her first two runs. The Yan- nigans who up to this time had enter tained visions of themselves growing over the regulars failed to score in the fourth. McGaone weakened in the fourth and his support went to pieces, nine runs being scored. Simcoxs hom-
 CT was the only tally in the fifth as he
 took the task of pitching and held the
 home team safe. The Shore Line was
 blanked in the sixth but Taftville
 found Simcox for five runs. The visi-

Norwich bulletin., 1918-06-29

Friday afternoon an aggregation of ball players (with a few exceptions, one of whom was Ye Sporting Edi- tor), representing the Shore Line, Yannigans, Wequonnoc school and Bulletin baseball teams, fell. victims to the Taftville team to the tune of 21 to 1S Modesty forbids us saying who really won the game for Taft vile, but we received lots of valuable assistance from the other members of, the visitors-for instance Houston and Miller. M. Murphy and. Joubert played as good ball as they know how for the Yannigans, which is the official cognomen of the losers. C.. Mathewson McGlone started on ths mound for the Misfits and fol three innings made the crowd think he was Big Six himself He was yanked in the last of the fifth to make way for Simcox whom the home team touched up for their other ten runs.
 We were unanimously awarded the crown as strike-out king of the day, but uneasy rests. the, head that wears crown" Houston was in the lime light through lack of being able to use his fingers to count up the outs. He was trying to catch and as his hand was .encased In the big .mitt he nat urally couldn't remember whether there were two or three outs without straining his memory so he took a chance after a strikeout in the third inning and threw the ball out in the infield, taking off his glove at the same time, letting in a runner from third. Miller and the coacher went to was off third base and the coacher was asleep and he was caught fiat footed. We were coaching. Probably l the one shining star of the game was Simcox and his star was seriously eclipsed when he tried to pitch. How ever we have to give Sirncox credit | for his home run. He very oblig- ingly picked a time when the sacks were empty to do the damage. An in- ming later when the bags were full and the men crying for a hit, he kind ly fouled out to the catcher But then it would never do to prolong the game all day. As it was the affair had to | be called at the end of the eighth which was much too late. Speaking of stars we must not forget Glove l less Jim" McGlone who filled SimcoX' S shoes at shortstop. Except for his errors he played perfect game. Troe- ger, a kid from grammar school play ed centerfield for the Yannigans and we fear has eternally ruined his reE as ball player Clsh at third and Barber at second played good ball
 especially Clish and both deserve 9 further trial with the Shore Line The rest of the team which includes Shaw
 the first baseman, whose glaring er- TOT does not need attention called to it ought to be released to either Wa terbury or Worcester in the Eastern League. There is just one thing ir their favor and that is the fact that for the most part they pounded the deliveries of Mills. the kid Taftville pitcher, to all corners of the lot.
 The game started off in good fash

Yantic vs. South Windham.

This afternoon the Yantic team will journey to South Windham to play the game postponed from last Saturday. A game was scheduled for last week but old Jupe Pluvius interfered and took the game away. An auto truck will leave Yantic shortly after dinner a band has been secured and seats will be provided for a bunch of loyal root CTS. South Windham has won one game from Yantic. but Yantic expects to even things up today. It is rumor- ed that the foundry town has secured several Willimantic players so it looks like a lively game. Yantic has a good lineup and won't go down to defeat without a struggle.

THRESH INSTEAD Of
CUT GRAIN HAY

1t is reported that many OF the
farmers throughout the county are
cutting their grain for hay. not
withstanding the urgent need for a
production OF wheat. The uncer-
tainty Of being able to secure the
services OF harvesting and threshing
machinery is In measure respon-
sible for this custom. There are
harvesters and threshers In the
county which could probably be Sc
cured through the services OF the
county agent. The threshing OF all
grain would probably more than
double the wheat output OF Jose
phine county.
