WILLIAMS CANCEL CONTEST
 WITH CHAINS FOR NOV. 27
New Haven Eleven Will Play Washington Glees In Elm City Instead-Four Bridgeport Boys With Glees
 Are Released By Management

Plans for the williams-Chain Thanksgiving game at Newfield park on Thanksgiving day were knocked sky high today by a story in the New Haven Journa1-Courier which stated that the Williams management had cancelled the contest and would play the Washington Glees instead. Four Bridgeport boys who were with the Glees will be released. The story says:
 "One of the biggest sensations of he present football season was the announcement made last night that he Williams and the Washington Hee club wouldn play Thasgiving
 ay for the city championship. The
 ecision, coming as 1t did like bolt put of the blue sky. was a result of meeting of the players of both teams, who came to the conclusion that it would be for the best interests of all concerned that the teams adhere to the custom of playing the game for the city title and meet again this sea- son.
 The game will be staged at the Yale Bowl and at the present time it looks as though 1t will be the big gest effort ever attempted in local football circles. It is only through the courtesy of the Yale university athletic department that the Bowl is available, and with the granting of the use of the Bowl it is emphatical- ly stated that no other players but bona fide local men may be used
 This both teams have agreed to, as only four outside men are at present within the ranks of the teams and these four are on the Glee club eleven. The Glees have Ed Reilly, Flanagan and the Hurley brothers, all four of whom reside in Bridgeport, and who have been play ing with the Glees all season"

BEL GRADE STILL REMAINS CITY
 OF WAR RUINS

Belgrade. Serbia, Nov. 21--Ry The Associated Press).--Belgrade remains today as the Germans and Austrians left it--shel1-shattered bomb torn and desolate. Owing to lack of Hce terials, money and labor, no have yet been taken by the a'It' 1T. ties to restore the scores "f ~s.si dences, public buildings and her property that fell under IT, -.rsS bombardment. Nothing cen done to repair even the ,ace, which, windowless, sc-*~ ne- glected, looks like Ampty barrack

There are few cafes, restau- rants, theatres. einemas, or places of diversion or entertainment in Belgrade. At night the city has all the stiffness and repose of a tomb. It may be, quite naturally. that the country is still mourning it's losses, for it has been continuously at war for seven years.
 The retail stores display only scanty stocks. Some of them are closed entirely. Cheap articles Of jewe1ry and tinse1 find their way from Austria, and Germany, while perfumes, scented soaps and silk stockings come from Paris. Wear ing apparel of all kinds is high in price. The Serbian frahc has fallen to low purchasing value.

 ''It Is possible for me to say a lot about this affair, but I refrain from doing so because it is not my desire to disgust the fans with this sort of stuff. But the entire matter will be ironed out before we resume the plans for the season of 1920, and it will be ironed out in such a way that there will not be a recurrence of it. Our league or baseball does not profit by wrangles of this nature, and you can rest assured they will not happen again.
 '"The other five members of the league have justice on their side and they are going to stand by their con victions to the finish, and the proper punishment will be meted out to the offenders."

G woman's ability to preserve her
reputation for daintiness. 1t will also
save pennies for her purse.
Two hours a week spent on the
care of the wardrobe viii lengthen

owner the happy consciousness of
always being well-dressed-and ready
for any emergency.
Press skirts nee or twice each
week.
Always press on the wrong side,
placing O damp cloth over material
and pressing until the cloth is dry,
To keep the seams from looking
shiny, turn the skirt on the right side,
cover the seams with n damp cloth,
and press very lightly.
To remove the shiny look from
cloth skirts sponge 1t with vinegar
and water, using one tablespoonful
of vinegar to one glass water. Sponge
on right side and press on wrong.
The business woman's shoes and
