CHAIN ELEVEN UNABLE ID
 SCORE ON WILLIAMS TEAM
Local Football Players Surprise Haven
 Fine Defensive Work by Men Both Sides

| New Haven, Oct. 6-The Williams eleven of this city, held the Ameri-
 can Chain eleven, Of Bridgeport, to scoreless tie at the Lighthouse grounds yesterday afternoon, in the | opening game of the season.
 The Chain team, spoken of as the | champions for the past two years l among the semi-professional eIevens 1 of New England, were held at bay by l the strong line of the Williams, the noted trio of backfeId men from the Park City were unable to gain any 1 great distances through the Williams | defense.
 RowIey, Frankel, stanwood, sher-
 man, O'Keefa and Clark brought down the Chains backfeld stars
 many times with no gains. Shannitt. at end for the Williams
 broke up many plays, and Johnny NagIe shared honors with him for getting tackles. At the open game the Chains suffered more severely by losses, the throws from the Chain backfeId men were stopped and | safely held by Klapproth and Red Quinn at critical stages of the game The ball was kept in the Chains section of the field the major part 1 of the contest, and on two instances, the locals lost chances of scoring | when Hanlon's try for a drop kick ! from the 45-yard line was blocked in | the third period.
 Kral, who was sent in for Quinn
 in the final period, tried a drop kick from the 25-yard mark, the kick go- ing wide of the goal post by inches. The game was a remarkable eXhi- bition of defensive playing, neither side being able to advance through the opposing line, with any effective ness.
 There were but two first downs l during the game, each club earning
 a single first down.
 Forst was the shining light for the visitors in the backfeld, with Graney, | Klapproth and Quinn doing excel 1 lent work on the defense. The Bridgeporters were penaIized a total of 40 yards that included pen alties for abusive language and hold ing in the line. The Williams were penaIized about 20 yards for being off-side. Malone and Hall of this city put up a good game in the line for the Chains. It was quite evident that the Park City eleven outweighed the Williams team by many pounds. The showing of the Williams with an entirely New Haven team yester- day, places them among the leading tams of the East and will have to be reckoned with when the title is to i be decided.

The harvesting of the corn crops In
Venezuela commences in September
or October. In most sections Of the
country only one crop is raised an
nually, though with irrigation there
could easily be two. Most of the corn
raised in Venezuela Is white, and the
market for this is not SO good in the
West Indies as for the yellow varieties.
In case Of any deficit in the corn crop
in the United States, Venezuela might
well be considered as an available
source of supply.

BASIS SEPT. 50
Orders to That Effect Issued by
War Department-Must Cut
to 233,30S Men.
Means Withdrawal of Entire Ex.
peditionary Force Within
a Few Weeks.

Washington. July 3.-Orders for the
demobilization of the army by September
so to the peace time strength of ap-
proximately 233.30S officers and mer
authorized by the national defense act
were issued today by the war depart
ment.
BY that date all officers of the regular
army must be returned TO their per-
manent grades and officers holding com
missions only for the emergency. includ-
ing applicants for permanent appoint
merlt. must be discharged.
Announcement that ti,e army would be
reduced 10 less than 100000 officers and
men BY September 80 was accepted here
to mean that definite plans had been
made TO withdraw practically the entire
American expeditionary forces before
many weeks.
The number of men necessary to gar
rison domestic ports and the defense OF
the instllar possessions would be almost
the total of the authorized peace time
total.
The national defense act authorized 8
total of 169, ,493 officers and men for
the line and 63.Sf5 officers and met
for the staff corps and departments.
A reduction of the military establish
mept to these figures would be 1Oo. .0N
men below the strength authorized it
the 1920 army bill but officials explained
this reduction would be necessary to
compensate for the heavy excess now
existing over the authorized total.
