RED CROSS NEVER FAILS
Col. Isaac M. Ullman Makes Plea For
 Liberal Support of That orsaniza. tion.

Much is expected from eastern Con- necticut districts and especially the one under the jurisdiction of the Put nam chapter, it is apparent from what was said by Colonel Isaac M. Ulinan, New Haven, state chairman for the war fund drive while he was in this section on Red Cross matters.
 In the Putnam district does what Colonel Ullman expects of it-raises g per capita for the Red Cross-its quota will be not far from $20, The
 Putnam chapter has jurisdiction throughout this township, in all of Pomfret Thompson and Woodstock and in the villages of Dayville. At tawaugan and Ballouyille in the town of Kililng1y.
 ''We have just commenced to give" Colonel Ullman said. q understand that Putnam has approximately POO young men in the service. No one
 would think of mentioning the money value of each to the community at less than S1.0oo.' and on that basis Put
 nam has s200,060 worth of bows ir the service. With that splendid value Of young manhood in the field. is fl too much to ask a per capita gift tc the: Red Cross of s2 each in theii name? They are out with the col ors, fighting for the safety of ever,
 person in the nation. What is giver to the Red Cross goes to make then,
 more happy and more comfortable, nc
 matter where they happen to be serv. ing. The Red Cross never fails them and it never will, It is with them wherever they go. even right up to the front line trenches"
 Colonel Uliman believes that all work along the lines conducted by the Red Cross should be concentrated in that organization. and that there be nc
 off-shoots, if best results are to be ob- tained.

HAMILTON SELECTS
REDS AND WHITE SOX
TO WIN REMNANTS
BY H. G.. HAMILTON

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, April ia long dis
ance shot at the; worlds series en-
trants- appears to the writer to in
volve Cincinnati and Chicago.
Cincinnati has the national league
team that figures to win the pennant
in the Tennor league, and the White
Sox look good to repeat in the Ameri-
can.
On just one thing hinges the chan
ces for the Reds to kick history and
and precedent into a cooked hat and
get into worlds series for the first
time in the history OF the fall clas-
sic.
That one thing Is Christy Mathew.
sons ability to keep his pitching staff
in trim and develop couple of
Youngsters who can stand the Ma
tional league pace in only fair sort
Of way.
Last year Matty showed his ability
with pitchers by bringing out Clar-
ence Mitchell and Mike Reagan. He
has even better material to work
with this year. The result should
be a pennant.
Matty has the best outfield in til
National league.
10 loc TIoI TI,au1 Of h0
and Heinie Groh at third-two of
the best infielders in either league.
He has young Copf, fair ball play
er, to station at shortstop, and the
chances are he will start the season
with Lena Blackburn or Dave Shean
at second base. Either is a good
fielder, but rather weak with the
bat. The heavy fire of Chase and
Groh, however, should offset his
weakness. A good fielding shortstop
can do wonders in an infield where
he has backing by hitting among
other members.
In addition to these defenses Matty
possesses one of the smartest catch
ers in base ball in Tom Clark, and
cne of the best hitting catchers in
Ivy Wingo. The latter needs a lot
os work If he gets in this year
he will do better than for the last
two seasons.
With Schneider, Eller and Reagan
to bear the heavy pitching burden, at
least two youngsters should sail into
prominence with Mathewson's coach

recruits-each with big league ex.

perience. Matty should have nc
trouble in whipping them into shape
Dutch Reuther, splendid utility man
may SHOW some of the stuff thai
caused experts to predict star ca
reer for him as a pitcher year age
when he went up to the Cubs.
This team has the punch-the alb
ility to get men on bases and push
them around for runs. They should
win unless accidents break up theiI
combination.
AS for the White Sox-it has beer
said for the most part. They have
only one dangerous rival in the
American league and that is Boston
But the Red Sox, made UP Of players
who have been filled in during the
winter, should not be expected tC
hit stiff enough ps-re to carry it tC
a pennant over the tough going that
is sure to develop IN the younger
circuit.
Clarence Rowlands pitching staff
is intact. His infield hasn't lost a
single cog, and his outfield stands
where 1t left off last year.
There is playing sense, punch and
defensive greatness in this team
and it has the heart. The combina-
ton is hard to beat. If the Red
.Sox achieve it they will be entitled
to the glory, for the White Sox ap.
pear even stronger than a year ago in
comparison with the rest of the lea
que.
The Giants have lost ground dur.
ing the winter, and II appears likely
the Cubs and Cardinals will both
beat out the McGraw gang. The
Cubs figure as the strongest rival
of the Reds.
The Red Sox and Indians are the
strongest challengers of the worlds
champions, with the former showing
more strength than Cleveland, which
has suffered heavily in the loss of
players to the army and navy.
