TRIPLE PLAY FEATURE
 OFFAST GAME

Taftville and Jewett City met Sat urday in one of the fastest games of the season. Both teams played strong ball and looked as if neither side was going to score within the allotted time. The game ran scoreless up to the last half of the ninth, when with two men on bases and two down, Dugas Of Taftville cracked out beautiful liner over third. sending home the only run of the game.
 Up to the first of the fourth inning neither team succeeded in getting a man past second. Jewett City went to bat and with man on first and third and none down it looked as if they would score.
 Liberty bunted pot fly to DeMara, who sent the ball to third, and Dug;,s at third shot it across to Mills at first, tripling the play. It was swift piece of work and won it's due of ap- plause.
 DeMara of Taftvillef and Liberty of Jewett City both pitched good game, allowing but few scattered hits to either team

 CALL OF UNCLE SAM

Men of the National Army have be- come so enthusiastic over the sports provided at the camps by the commits sion on training camp activities that the war department has decided to en- large and increase the number of ath- letic fields. Reports received from all camps show that thousands of men take part in the games, with baseball, Of course. in the lead.
 . More than 10000 baseballs and 5000 bats have been sent to the camps, tors. New baseball diamonds have been laid out in nearly every camp. Exhibition games have been staged with the cooperation of the major leagues, which have brought in con- siderable gate receipts.
 The commissions athletic directors have organized company, battalion, regimental and inter regimental leagues, and plans have been com pleted in the fall in post-season games to decide who are "pennant winners.
 Next to baseball, boxing is proving the most popular sport. So great has become the demand for instruction that in one camp more than 500 assis- tant boxing instructors are kept busy l Six thousand sets of boxing gloves have been sent to the camps and or ders have been placed for thousands more. Matches are frequently staged between company, regiment and camp champions, which always draw capac- | ity audiences. Instruction in the finer points of the sport are given by pro- 1 fessional boxers, who wear the army uniform.
 Some of the most notable boxers ir the country, including five worlds champions, are enrolled under Uncle Sam's Star Spangled Banner, and are doing their duty, either as instructors For in some other useful capacity.

All in Days Work.
 The following Nter has just been received from Jay S. Ricketts, chief master at arms of the U. s. s. Yama- craW:
 Sept. 1, 1918. Dear Folks:
 I am making the most of the golden opportunities at sea to write as it is seldom that one can do so, but the last few days have been wonderful, can't say so much for the others we have had on this trip.
 We are now about seven days out and three more like this one will bring us to a sunny, southern port. l re- ceiyed all your good letters week ago and read all the clippings with interest. The boys are having a great time all right, as I have had ever since I've been here, Of course there have been times when I wished for home, but I've gotten pretty well used to it now. Let me give you a bit of com mon occurrence:
 The general alarm gong is all in the days routine now; it is fine to see the men scatter at the first sound-all trained to the. second, no crowding or talking, all knowing just what is ex- pected of them. no grumbling as they press forward into the icy spray to | get to their. batteries, all ready in a | few seconds for the command to open | fire. And then poor Fritz wishes he had never shown or made the mistake of making a small white wake caused by just one little peep through the l periscope Everything has been SC perfected by now that it takes only i one small wake to give us his location and after once being seen the only chance he has is coming to the sur face and surrendering, then he is gen erally ripped fore and aft before he can get his hatches open to come out and give up. If, on the other hand he doesn't come up, the deadly depth charges are dropped either on or close by him, and, believe me, by the tons of water that are thrown into the air it must be hell to be beneath the sur face wEen they explode. This is the days work.
 Of course we have to overlook the occasional swishing torpedo that goes tearing across your bow. or beneath your counter, because you like to have a man fight back and that is his best means In spite of it all, I like it but hope for a speedy end and once more get my feet planted on terra frma and leave them there. Believe me much as I've enjoyed this life, I'll gc 5000 miles on the c. V. to avoid crossing the Thames on the Col. Led yard.
 We have had very pleasant time in England and the pleasure of taking in London, Bristol and several other seaside resorts. I met thousands ot American soldiers in the Eagle Hu (American Y M C. A.).. They die look good to me for sure and are

been selected as referee.
 Lewis and Leonard are known from coast to coast and are conceded to be pair of the cleverest, brainiest and hardest punching pugilists in their respective divisions today. Physical ly, Lewis shas the advantage of height and reach, but if Leonard's work as army camp instructor has not dulled his speed. he will be faster in action than his opponent. Leonard also is q shade better in defensive work than Lewis. Another factor which may help the lightweight champion is that he has great deal to gain and noth- ing to lose on the outcome of the bat tie.
 If Leonard should score a knockout he would earn the unique record ol having defeated the champions ir three classes, including Freddy Walsh and Johnny Kilbane, within a period of sixteen months.
