SUNDAY BASEBALL STOPPED
East Hartford Officials Put Ban on Foli Team When Its Manager Goes Too Eau With Privileges.

East Hartford, June 16.-Com- rleints from residents in the inmedi- ate section in which the games have been played have led to the ban be- ing put on Sunday baseball games at the so-called Poli field, in this town As a result the Poli baseball team of Hartford will not be permitted to stage it's weekly games here on Sun days in the future.
 The complaints developed when the manager of the Poli team. Curtis A. Gillette of Hartford, surrounded the field with a high board fence and fixed 8 specific price of admission to Sunday games and barred the small boys who sought free admission.
 The complaints were carried to Prosecutor Frederick K. Fuller who notified the manager of the team Fri day and a Bridgeport team, which was scheduled to meet Poli's at the field Sunday, met disappointment when it reached Hartford.
 Residents of East Hartford were satisfied to permit the playing of the games here Sunday as long as the sport was not made professional The practice had been for the fans to con- tribute to a collection during the game. However, the feeling cropped up here when the fence was erected, that it was time for the local officials to stop the practice before the state authorities stepped in. It is against the law to conduct games here on Sunday along those lines. Erecting the fence makes the game a profes- atonal one which Is prohibited.
 There were a few fans on hand for Sunday game but in some manner many patrons of the Sunday games had heard of the move on the part of the local prosecutor and knew that the game was not to be held.
 The report was circulated about town, and also in Hartford, as an ex- Cuse, that the reason the game was not played was because there was a person very ill-at the point of death
 in one of the residences close to the field, and that the game was post poned because of a request from rela- tives.
 As vet, however, the person who was alleged to be at the point of death has yet to be located

DEMPSEY WORKS EASY
Challenger Works With Weights and Shadow Boxes, But Does No Spar- ring With Trainers

Toledo, June 17-Jack Den1psez, did no work with the gloves yesterday. but tugged at the weights, shadow boxed and punched the bag to satisfy the crowd which stood in the rain +o watch him go through his paces
 Jack kearns said last night that the challenger weighed 195 pounds Dempsey will not do any serious train ing until next Saturday or Sunday This was decided upon by Kearns aft CT physicians had advised him that any rough work with the gloves would likely result in rcopcning the wound over Dempsey's eye.
 kearns decided not to risk this dan ger, as the wound, if reopened. proh- ably would not be thoroughly healed when Dempsey climbs into the ring to face Willard, and the champion. if was feared, would likely concentrate his attack on the injury, which would easily impair the chaIlenger's vision
 The Army, Navy and Civilian Board of Boxing Control yesterday advised Tex Rickard that it had accented Richards invitation to pick the referee and other officials. The board, Rick ard was advised. will submit 2 1ist of referees to Dempsey and Willard and from those approved by the boxers the board will make it's selection

HARVARD FOOTBALL PLANS ARRANGED
Crimson Squad Will Probably
 Report September 15

Cambridge, Mass, June 17.-Now that Harvard has put it's football mousse in order by arranging the most important detail in the plans for the coming season, announcement is to < be made this week of the time when fall practice will begin. Sept 15 is the date likely to be selected for the main squad to report to Coach RoD- ert Fisher.
 ~ There will be little change in the Harvard coaching staff next fall All Percy Haughton's lieutenants who can find time to do so will aid in the de- yelopment of the team. No one has been more active in seeing that liar ward football be placed in the proper hands than Haughton himself. The great Harvard coach will proba bly spend the greater part of the re- rnainder of the year in the south, but in the event of his work being trans ferred to Boston or even New York he has promised Coach Fisher his as sistance.
 Leo H. Leary, end coach who an- nounced his retirement several months ago, is expected to modify that statement. R, w. P. Brown the strategic coach and chief scout, IS expected to be present, and many other coaches who have surrounded Haughton during his seasons of suc- cess on the gridiron will flock to Fishers assistance if they are needed.
 Walter H. Wheeler, Jr., of Albany, N. V, captain elect of the 1917 team, sent word to Cam bridge several weeks ago that he would not return to college, but the selection of Fisher, who is an especial friend of the young New Yorker, may cause him to change his mind. The selection of a captain at any event will not be made until the fall. when the players have an opportunity to get acquainted
 The Crimson has this to say of the new coach:
 The uncertainty which has sur rounded the universitys coming foot ball season has been largely dispelled by the athletic committees selection of the new coach. Robert Fisher has been spoken of as an available candi- date ever since it was definitely known that Major TIaughton could not return. His experience under the recent coach, not only as an assistant but as a player, makes him parttcu- larlY valuable.
 The football outlook is, on the whole, a, bright one. Seven former < is q rema rkably fine showing when it is considered that the last formal games were played and the last let ters awarded two seasons ago. Be- sides this, the spring practice of two months ago brought out the welcome fact that at least as large a, supply of fTSt rate new material Is available as m any one recent year Of course, there will be difficulties, for, as in other sports, the continuity has been broken, and it will take time and in finite practice to reform old habits and to lick musty material into shape Former Coach Haughton, however, has expressed every confidence in MT. Fishers abilities as next years coach and the seven IF men who have worked under him before are ready to swear by him. Moreover, Coach Fish CT himself has declared his fixed in tention of continuing, in essentials, It least, the Haughton system

Rails and Ships
One System


WASHINGTON. August 4.--The
Republican Publicity association
through Its president. Hon. Jonathan
Bourne Jr.. today gave out the fol-
lowing statement from It's Washing
ton headquarters.
THE great value of correlation OF
railroad and ocean transportation
systems. as proposed by John H.
Rosseter. director Of. the U. s. Ship
ping board, will be readily apparent
or course there are few large
shippers to whom convenience OF
this kind is OF relatively little i'm.
portance. II would help them some
but II their business Isl arge enough
they can arrange their land and oc.
can transportation with little loss
Large exporters OF wheat or steel
or of coal, for example, have theil
terminal facilities, their foreign ag-
encies and their regular customers
They would be materially helped by
a correlation of the railroad and the
steamship lines but they can get al.
ong under the systems heretofore
prevailing.
But the full development of Am
erican foreign trade. with greatest
economy and efficiency, requires ad-
option and perfection of the Rosseter
plan. Briefly stated his idea is that
the government should establish and
later turn over to private enterprise
a complete and comprehensive sys
tenn of ocean transportation, compris-
ing permanent and regular service
between American ports and ports
of all nations with which we can
hope TO build up profitable trade
He would have the schedule of sail
ings so arranged as to be dependable
and would have rates published and
available in every railroad Office, SO
that the producer OF any community
in any section OF the United States
could ascertain at what time, al
what cost and under what conditions
he could ship his goods to any impor-
tant port ON the face OF the glove.
with that transportation service
in existence and dependable, our for.
eign consular service would assume
a new Importance. The frequent re
ports of trade opportunities would
then be Of interest to a large proper
ton Of our population. At present
