THE HoRRIBLENEsS OF WAR
Dr.. NJ. A. Majors

DR.. N. A. Majors
The war that was fought and won
for the world
Was the worst war the world has
had,
And the peaceful order into chaos
hurled
By Germany made France mad.
If the Kaiser, poor man, hadn't the
big head,
But ruled his nation with love,
The world wouldn't have colored the
rivers red
With the blood which the nations
have bled.
So France is glad, and Italy is glad
And England is proud quite a bit,
While Germany suffers, sorrowfully
sad,
And Russia IS having fit
Proud spirit in man makes him do
many things
That only the foolish would do,
But foolish are people who must
have their kings
That keep a good world in a stew.
The world, We surmise, is not the
real blame
For the pomp of the power and
pelf.
The mischief and crime for am
bilious shame
Was a fool all in love with him
self
Yet, so it was meet that king
should have power
To rule with a rod made of iron;
The moment had come, the clock
struck the hourI
The brute of king was lion.
With his sharp teeth Of war and its
Humorous roar
Poor Belgium was crushed most to
death
In holding the Hun, bloodthirsty for
gore
Tin England and France got their
breath.
The viIlainOus riot of child killing
Huns
Who murdered the helpless at win
And blew up the churches with long
shooting guns;
Such crime gives one a cold chill.
But at last came the day when Ma
ture revolts,
Afriehted. it seemed, was her
plight.
The forces of Earth, siekened by
such assaults,
At last got the spirit to fight

 LEAD BATTING

Chicago. July 12-Roger Peckin- paugh, who hit safely in 29 consecu- tive games, including last Wednes- days contest, continues to lead the regulars in batting in the American league, his mark .3S2 remaining un- changed from last week. according to avera ages released today. Tyrus Cobb. who returned to the game, after more than two weeks absence from the Tigers lineup, has not recovered his batting eye and has dropped from second to fifth place. On the other hand Joe Jackson, the slugging out fielder of the White SoX, has struck his stride and has climbed from sev- enth to second place with an average of $50, This great batting by the Chicagoan has given him the total base honors held last week by Sisler, St Louis. Jackson's mark is 122 and Sisters 121.
 Peckinpaugh besides leading the batters chalked up five more runs to his credit and leads the run getters He has registered 51 times.
 Babe Ruth, the big Boston south paw pitcher and outhelder, bagged two more homers and leads the cir cult drive hitters with 9. Ray Chap man, Cleveland, who still is out of the game, has been passed by Witt. Boston, in sacrifice hits. Witt has 25 to Chapman's 22. The 12 thefts of Johnston, Cleveland, have put him first among the base stealers.
 Jim Thorpe, the Indian athlete, continued to lead the National League hitters and widened the gap between himself and Gavvy Cravath, recently appointed manager of Phil adelphia. Thorpes mark is .397 and Cravaths 356. lily Myers, of Brook Iyn, showed the real class among the batters however, by climbing from twenty-second place among the reg ulars last week with mark of .397 to tie for third place this week with an average of 1882. Max F1ack, Chi cago, broke the tie shared with Olson, Brooklyn. last week in num- Der of runs scored and leads with 46 tallies to his credit. Benny Kauff, New York slugger, took the total base honors from Crayath, but the veteran continues to hold his lead among the nome run shitters. Kaufra total base

SOCCER NEWS AND CHATTER

The first soccer team of this state ton for next season is the Bridgeport Thistle team and the management of this team is in possession of the first registration forms and no doubt will be scouting the state for the best of players. The club has certainly a live man at the head of affairs in David Forrest, the secretary of the team who is also the treasurer of the Con- necticut State Football association.
 What is the Bridgeport City team going to do next season Is @ question that is being discussed frequently in the city. Manager Bridges is at the present time mum on the question but I guess that he has something up his sleeve, perhaps he is waiting for the return of Eddy Eversaeld who ta due back the first few days of next month, Eddy promised us before he went away that when he returned he would have a team that would lift the National Cup competition, if Ed dy can manage this he will be one of the finest in the country as far as a manager is concerned. It will cer- tainly take a team that can eIiuin- ate such teams as the Bethlehem Steel team, five times champions.
 Secretary David Forrest of the Bridgeport Thistle soccer team has changed his address to 1893 North Avenue to which address all com municaticns must be sent.
 Secretary John A. Drake of the Hartford and District league pronis- es strong league next season and ore that will make great headway. It is planned to play an inter-le.lgue game in the early fall and this should create great interest and will try the strength of two leagues. It is expected that there will be two teams from Manchester, four teams from Hartford and two from New Britain.
 The members of the Swedish soc cer team of last season were very prominent in the recent sports hel6 at Seaside Park on July 3, under the auspices of the Board of Recrea- tion Swanson, the chairman of the soccer committee, was well among the prize winners, while Captain Santeson also figured among the prize winners.

Cincinnati, July 12-Matters were reversed yesterday in the battle of the East and West on the courts of the Cincinnati Tennis Club, and when play had ended for the day the men from the Atlantic Coast had won two of the three matches and tied up the series at three victories for each team.

!. 5. G0LFINC DEFEAT WAS NO
 SURPRISE HERE

It was practically q foregone con- clusion that the American team of golfers would suffer defeat when it cIashed with the French combination in the inter = Allied matches in France recently. The team from over the sea incIud'ed Arnaud Massy, one fo the best known golfers in the world. He won the open champion ship of Great Britain In 1907, tied lost on the play-off. In 1906, 1907 and 1911 he held the French open championship, and in 1910 won the Belgian championship. In fact, he al ways finished well up in the money in the big tournaments, and Is said to be playing better than ever now.
 Another Frenchman on the lineup was Jean Gassiat who during his career has held practically every title of prominence. Prior to meeting the team from France, the Americans clashed with the English combina- ton, the first named winning. Lieut.. Rautenbush of Chicago was one of the best players for the Red, White and Blue contingent, another being Lieut.. Harry Davis, well known on the Pacific Coast The matches were held over the La Boulie links, near Versailles.
 Rumor has it that Miss Cecil Leitch, holder of the English title, is to come to this country within a short time. Miss Leitch, who is to be married in the fall, recently won the title for the second time on the St. Anne's links. defeating Mrs. Temple Doben (better known as Miss Gladys Ravenscroft) in the final round. The match was at thirty-six holes, and Mrs Dobell had the uncomfortable experience of never winning a hole in the first eighteen, and as a result finished down. Starting the second round with this advantage, Miss Leitch was practically assured of victory, and she played well enough to become dor1nie nine after twenty seven holes had been concluded, an1 then won the first hole on the inward journey, taking the title by 10 and S. Miss Ledtch's previous win was just before the war in 1914.
 Prior to the championship meeting Miss Leitch, playing over the Walton Heath links, turned in a card of 30, 38 out and AZ home, marvellous golf for a woman. Not ten men in a hundred could make a better score than the 80 credited to Miss Leitch over this difficult course. The best previous record for the women was an 86, which is also the wounens 8 par for the circuit. On the thirteenth and fourteenth putting greens Miss Leitch took three butts when no more than hftaen feet away :.

ROAMER BEATS SUN BRTAR IN
 GREAT RACE

AQUEDUCT, July 12.---Roamer holder of the official worlds record of 134 4-5 for the classic mile, beat Sun Briar holder of the unofficial worlds record of 1:34 for the same distance, at Aqueduct yesterday. And great was the ovation which the remarkable geIdfng received, as he battled his way to the front in the last sixteenth and as he came trotting back to the scales.
 Sun Briar making his first appear ance of the year, took up 130 pounds and tried to concede Is pounds to Roamer. The task was to much. He raced the light-footed LErrant into submission, but this was hardly over before he had to take up fresh battle with the eight-year-old son of Knight Errant, and was not equal to the call vidual On looks he is almost the perfect type of thoroughbred. The ring-bones which troubled him as a two-year-o can be plainly seen, but they are what trainers call dead, D and so high on the foot that they do not cause any inconvenience. The race is sure to do him a lot of good.
 Roamer established his worlds rec I.0 Springs last summer, in a specially arranged race against time and under the official eye of the Jockey Club. On Sept. II willis Sharp KiImer sent Sun Briar against this mark and beat it, and, while he had plenty of wit nesses, 1t was in the nature of a pri- vate trial that has never been ac- cepted officially.
 Far down at the end of the program yesterday Brookholt, which has been considered a worthy rival of Man O War, was beaten by H. P. Whit ney's Cobwebs after a bitter drive The latter is lilly of high quality, but in spite of this Brookhoit lost some caste.

THE WRITER has always sided U with Mulvihill in the past, feel Ing that he was not given a square deal here. We figured that because he did not have money his ability was underestimated. We suppose, too, that it was the propaganda of his enemies that kept Joe Mulvihin out of Connecticut boxing. But now we can gee where we were all wrong: where we misunderstood the entire situation.
 There Is no one in Bridgeport who would be happier to see Joe MuIvih!lI n success in the boxing game. but now we are beginning to doubt his ability. Words are cheap. It's action that counts. Mulvihill knows what constitutes good match. However, his love for talking has always proved his undoing. His latest. Demp- sey-Greb squawk sounds good, but there is nothing doing in Connecti- cut. Mulvihill says that "everythilg z is fixed for Bridgeport to get the fight" and says he talked to Jim my Dime,' and the latter, whom he gays is Harry Greb's manager has told him 10 so right ahead. Jimmy Dime has as much to do about Greb's affairs as the writer or Mulvihill him.

 A ND TODAY along came letter 4 "A from a Norwalk reader who says that Joe was in that city Thurs day night talking to a group of Nor walk fans in front of Ezlks' Home there telling all that he knew, SUD- posed and could imagine about the big fight. According to what stories Joe Mulvihill gave out he and Tex Rickard were in conference in New York on Thursday. But then our reader says he knows Mulvihill. Per haps MulvihAl will explain.
 Joe Mulvihill also told the sporting editor of The Herald here that he was prepared to give the Boxing Commission in Toledo all the infor- nation r could about the fight. He told the same yarn to New Haven newspapernnen. And yet yesterday he came out with a story that he would not under any conditions go to To- ledo to testify before the Comnis- sion" And on he went to belittle the Commission.

Bridgeports Meet Senators Visions of Emery Ball Defeat Locals And Pull Them Down.

With today's game In Worcester over the Americans will return to this city preparatory to meeting the Hart ford Senators in a double-header at Newfield Park tomorrow afternoon. It is seldom that Sunday baseball patrons are given the opportunity of getting two games for the price of one. but nevertheless that Is pre- clsely what the local team has ar ranged for tomorrow's offering.
 Today the Americans resume hos tilities in Worcester. Just what will happen can not even be hinted, for there was no comparison between the two teams in yesterdays game, which the Boosters won without much effort by the score of ' to 0. It was a weird game with the Americans never being counted in by the fans.
 However, it was not so much that defeat that cast gloom into the Bridgeport camp, for in addition to be- ing severely punished the Americans lopped back into third place. The Boosters. on the other hand. climbed to the top of Inc ladder, the Grays also losing yesterdays game. This succession to the leadership recalled the threat that the Worcester con tingeut made earlier in the week when everything look like roses for the Grays and Americans
