turn at bat, attempted to tell one or his players, who was a runner on first, what he should do. Corrigan ruled that the manager should not so coach a runner.
 Just previous to that he banished Ed Holly of Springfield and let the Pony manager know that he would be fined $50 for stirring the displeaSure of the umpire,
 The wierdest stunt pulled by Corri- gan during his career as an umpire, however, was in the morning game of Decoration Day between Hartford and Bridgeport. The agreement was that the game should be stopped by time limit at noon When the noon hour approached Hartford was lead ing by a score of to 4. With a few minutes to spare Bridgeport went in for it's half of the ninth inning-the | last half-and had scored two runs, making the score stand and 6, when the umpire'S watch showed 12 o'clock. Instead of permitting the inning start ed to be finished, as is the rule in all well regulated leagues, even if it takes a few minutes over time, Corrigan stopped the game-and then what did he do! He declared the two runs SCOT ed by Bridgeport in the last half of the ninth did not count, that the score re- verted to even innings (the eighth and that Hartford had won to 4.
 Of course this was contrary to all rules of the book and of common sense and there was a row. An appeal was made to President Dan O'Neil and he reversed the decison of his umpire, declared the game had ended in a tie and should be played over at a fr,+,1 dat to nFNof1 ta i'm q the umpire, fin spite of this monumen- tai evidence of ignorance and fncom- potency and he has been 9 storm cen ter since, much to the distress of fans who pay to see ball games, to man. agers and players who want to know how far they can go in their efforts to win and to all hands generally.
 Attendance has been fairly good in the league to date and the brand of ball Is improving as the various clubs assemble players. In Providence the Sunday crowds have been good, but the week day attendance not what it should be. Much of the fault rests with the club magnates themselves, who do not seem to have a settled policy as to how their teams shall be conducted, making shifts in managers, players, etc.. that keeps the fans guessing.
 Evidently Pittsfield doesn't know that Bates has been awarded to 1t by the National Board. One scribe re- ports that it is Roy" Bates. while an other says that it is the Bates who is playing with Chattanooga, who is old Johnny, the outfielder. The Bates Pittsfield should get Is Harry, and it's up to the Pittsfield club to locate him.
 Kitty BransfieId is being compli- mented for good work as an umpire in the Eastern Lea que. He was aS- signed to Hartford for a recent series and they gave him something of a re ception when he told them it was his first visit in 20 years. Way back then he was playing ball with the Worcester team when that town and Hartford were members of the old Eastern League.
 Right Fielder Miller of Worcester is out of the game with a cracked an kle, which only adds to the troubles the Boosters have been having.

Fred Bosse and Bud Palmer of this city will resume hostilitieS in the principal bout of four rounds at an all-star smoker that will be held to- night at the Akorn club of Kossuth street. The two boys met at that club several weeks ago, but the outcome was unsatisfactory to both, owing to the wide difference Of opinion among those who sat at the ringside in re- gards to the winner, Both are said to be in good condition and a real battle is expected.
 The management has arranged a very consistent and interesting pre- D1niary card that should bring out plenty of action. All good local boys will figure in the four prelims that will be offered. Young McAuliffe will act as referee.

Not all worry Is preTenbable. but
for the most part. Il can be avoided
Most OF our fears are never real
lied and as a rule. If we meet our
troubles day by day as they come
without worrying about them before
they arrive or frettiRg over them
after they have passed, we Will find
that we have the strength TO rise
above them.
Worry undermines the health TO a
certain extent. It really weakens the
mental forces by firing them out by
doing nothing.
Usually the relief from worry rests
with the victim of his unfortunate
habit himself, but sometimes the real
uses are not the mes which seem
to explain the condition and we must
go deep In our lives or nave the
assistance of those who are skilled in
unravelling mental processes.
In most cases the best antidote for
worry is change of mental occupation,
a getting ava from the scenes which
provoke worry, exercise in the open
air, a good book, a pleasant recrea-
ton, or a temporary change Of occu-
patton.
Every sufferer from this ~unfortu-
nate condition owes IT TO himself TO
discover some simple healthful means
Of getting away from a habit which is
destructive to health and peace of
mind alike.

M YEAR OF PEACE

One year ago this day the Germans signed the armistice
terms Marshal Focb dictated, ending a war they already had
lost on the battlefield of land and sea.
One year ago today a new era of peace began. A world
was to turn from making munitions to pursuits Of peaceful in
dustry and millions of men were to change from uniforms of
destruction to overans Of construction. Wonderful projects of
REIMBURSEMENT were planned-and planning is about as far as
they went.
One year has gone by and what plans Of readjustment not
piled on the junk heap are woefully in lack Of repairs. We still
are talking about the peace treaty. We haven't done anything
with the railroads. Nor with the merchant marine. The peace
cost Of living is higher than it was during the war, and we have
done but little about it. Industrial unrest, and this includes
both capital and labor, has been the subject of no end of con-
versation, while production lags and waste continues.
One year has not brought the returned soldier nearer the
farm he wanted and which the government was going to make
possible for him to own.
But with all these things not accomplished, urgent mat
ters left undone, business unattended to, we-the nation and
the people are better off today than when the last shot was
Sired.
Our vast armies have been demobilized. The boys have
come back home and gone back to their jobs. Their conven-
ton beginning today in Minneapolis shows they realize the
need for team work-work together-for their own and their
countrv's welfare. 1t has been this lack Of team work, the
peace-time failure of cooperation, which has slowed up pro
duction in the United States within the past ~ months, and
which has stirred the feeling of unrest naturally following war.
We who may not have the honor of being members of the
American Legion may take a tip from them. We can learn that
cooperation in peace is as fruitful and as necessary as it was
during the war. Labor and capital must learn this lesson. So.
must the producer and consumers.
Our first year of peace would have been entirely different,
immensely more pleasing to all of us, if the wartime spirit of
cooperation hadn't ebbed away with the signing of that
armisice.
Let us bring it back into life, starting this the beginning
of our second year of peacel
