 The people of New Britain evident ly do not appreciate the governm ent War Saving stamps as they have re- deemed over s150,000 worth since January 1 of this year, it was an- nounced this afternoon by Postma ster w. F. Delaney. The people of this city seem more hasty in redeeming their stamps than do those of other cities. The w. S. $. have been on sale and are still on sale but at the present time the redemption of the stamps is taking precedence over the buying. It is hoped that the people of New Britain will realize that they are not aiding the government in any way by turning the stamps back and will continue to buy them to save, both for their own good and the government it was pointed out.

Coacher Rushing to Cornell to Bolster
 Team for Saturday

Ithaca, N. Y, Oct 22-Another former star player has joined the Cornell coaching staff to assist in speeding up the team for the Dart mouth game. He is c. W. Shuler, who played half back on the crack 1913 and 1914 team and whose brother John Shuler is now playing full back on the varsity. With Jim mic Munns the 1913 captain, Shuler is proving of great service to the coaching staff which is trying to crowd into short weeks practice enough hard work to make up for the obvious faults in actual play re- vealed in the Colgate game. It was hoped that Jack O'Hern, captain of the 1914 team, C. a1d also return this week, but he stated that he would not be able to come back.
 The Varsity team in the Dart mouth game will be the strongest sent into a game by Cornell this sea- son. Davies will be back at left half and Wilson will be at right end for the first time in two weeks. Strauss may play left guard in place of Pen dleton, while Ellsworth is expected to go in at left end.

Dartmouth to Bring
 Band and Rooters to
 New York Saturday

Hanover N. H., Oct. 22.-Several hundred undergraduates and the col lege band will accompany the Dart mouth football eleven to New York for its first game away from home against Cornell next Saturday. The student body places great confidence in the eleven that Fatty Spears has developed by virtue of it's strong play against Penn State and it is anxious to show it's appreciation and support in the best possible way.
 Injuries to the ends have caused much worry to the coaches. Ten days ago Myers broke his hand and as a result of Saturdays game Cogswell and Streng are now on the side lines. It is a question whether or not these men will be able to play this week. Second string men being groomed for the wing berths are Suttmeir and Thresfie, the former a five-letter man at Brookline High School two years ago.

} MENTIONED AS SUCCESS03.S
 ID PROVIDENCE

If the statements of the Eastern meeting in Pittsfeld, Monday, can be taken at their face value, the league Is in for the biggest season ever next year. The only change in the circuit that is expected to materiaIize deals with Providence. Patrons of the Grays have been demanding that the team get back in the International League and 1t is probably that Owner Moulton will heed the call of the fans. The loss of the Rhode Island city will not be any severe blow to the league as the Grays have never been a big drawing card in spite of the fac that they were up in the race all season. Transportation has to be considered also and Providence is a long jump for most of the clubs in the circuit too long to make it a paying proposi- ton for losing club.
 Three cities were mentioned as possible successors to Providence should the city return to Class A ball, Holyoke, Fitchburg and Albany. AL bany is almost eliminated because of its distance from the Connecticut cities in the league, while Fitchburg
  these who claim that the home town of Pat Moran would 'go big as a member of the Eastern as the city is baseball mad. The city is still a member of the almost defunct New England League and is still protected by territorial rights although little or no trouble would be experienced if Fitchburgh was wanted as a member of the circuit. Holyoke because of its long absence from organized ball was the popular choice of the moguls, as the addition of this city would make one of the most compact minor cir cults in the country, thus solving the ever present transportation problem, which has been the bugaboo of so many of the junior organizations. If the outlook shapes up right and a ball park can be secured Holyoke will probably be the eighth member of the Eastern League if Providence drops out.

YANKEES SIGN
 BENNY CEISER
 OUTfIELD STAR

New York. Oct. 22-The first step toward strengthening the Yankees for the 1920 campaign was taken yester- day, when 1t was announced by Col. T. L. Huston that Benny Geiser, an outhelder, has been signed. Geiser has a pretentious record as semi professional player. It is planned to take him South for the Yankees spring training trip.
 Geiser is an au-around player, but is best adapted to the outfeld. He started in baseball as a pitcher, ana subsequently tried every other posi- tion in the lineup. to settle down eventually as a 1y-chaser. Last year he was the leading player in the Shipyard League. He led at batting, going through the season at a .413 clip. He was a member of the Downey Shipyard team and aided in many cf his teams victories. Geiser is 23 years old and has had consider able experience with local semi-pro- fessionaI clubs previous to his con nection with the shipyards outfit.

EnnIE COLLINS STILL SAYS
 AMERICAN LEAGUE STRONGER
But Impartial Critics Think National Pitchers Have I'm proved In Past Two Years and Now Excel
 Hurlers of Rival League

New York, Oct. 22--Eddie Collins, captain of the White Sox, Is quoted as saying that while the Reds have a splendid pitching staff. he still Is con- vinoed that the American League has the strongest collection of pitchers Eddie says that the Reds caught the Sox In a batting slump, which started while the White SoN were in New York on their last Eastern trip, and that the team didn't get out of 1t un- till the last few games of the series We started hitting then, but 1t was too late" said Eddie.
 The statement Is not particularly gallant inasmuch as Collins was made to look folish at bat in the first six games of the series, In those six games Eddie made only two hits, one an inf1e!d scratch, Repeatedly he fell down in the pinches, Only the fact that Collins made five hits In the last two games gave him the semblance of a batting average when the series batting statistics were compiled.
 It is true that Collins may have been in a slump, but his slump may have been due to Jimmy Rings fast ball and Hod EIIer's sinner, His statement that he still is convinced that the American League Is better off for pitchers may be prompted by league loyalty, but the series Itself rather dispelIed the general idea that the American League was considera- bly, stronger than the National in pitching.
 Despite Cincinnatrs victory in the series it still is generally admitted that the American League as a whole Is stronger than the National Most of the games greatest stars-Cobb. Ruth. Jackson. Speaker, Collins, Sis Ter, Weaver, McInnis, Chapman and Peckinpaugl-are in the American League. And eight victories in the last ten worlds series still leaves quite Q margin in the American Leagues favor.
 But the National is coming back fast, and especially in pitching. For the first time in years the National seems to have a clean, cut pitching advantage on the American. Ad- Iaitting that clubs like the PhiIlies and Cardinals had as pitiabIe pitching as has been seen in the majors in years, there was some hefty pitching strength among the first division clubs in the National League
 The Cincinnati staff of Ruether, Sallee, Ring, EIIer, Fisher and Luque proved what it could do. in the worlds series, while McGraw closed the 1919 season with what he re- gards the greatest pitching staff the Giants ever possessed-Toney, Nehf, Benton, Barnes and Douglas when the latter was in shape. The third place Cubs had Grover Alexander and Jim Vaughn, the greatest righthand- CT and left-hander, respectively in the National League, as a nucleus for their staff, with Claude Hendrix and George Tyler to round out the staff, though the latter had trouble with his arm most of the 1919 season.
