Major James A. Meissner OF Brooklyn.

was the ace Of tho Air Show at Madison
Square Garden yesterday. He talked to
the crowds in the afternoon and evening
In the concert hall concerning the best
means of separating a German pilot from
his grip on the atmosphere. and then the
crowds went out and looked at various
relics. trophies and parts OF Halber-
stadts. Rumplers. Fokkers and things
that allied aviators had winged.
In addition the ace predicted the rapid
approach OF the time when airplanes
would be as common as automobiles and
much safer. there being more room In
the air than on roads.
I'm England steps we're taken a year
ago to use the airplane commercially"
he said. and as a result Great Britain
Is ready to-day, while America has not
yet reached that stage. Before very long
every one will be flying. 1t doesn't take
long to learn and II Is really easy. An
instructor Mt one OF the flying fields told
me that two OF his pupils were a man of
81 and boy OF IS. and both were good
pilots. SO age has nothing to do with, IT,
The Government, according to Major
Meissner. should do all that Is possible
to keep the industry alive now.

The Germans in the Rhine district In

insidious propaganda among our soldiers
than ever before the ace said. They are
acting with great friendliness and kind
ness toward the doughboys in order to

Lieut. Theodore Hedlund. late of the
army air service and now aeronautical
editor of the Boston Post, related night

base. The bombing machines. despite
overcast nights and lack of visible bear
ings. can fly by means OF a radio device
which indicates the direction from which
come the wireless waves from the big
stations at Berlin. Nauen. Bern and
Paris. This makes aerial navigation as

ASHLAND DEFEATS PUTNAM
 IN FAST GAME; SCORE 3 TO

In the fastest game seen on the Ashland grounds this season the home team succeeded in handing Putnam Q to defeat. The game was fast and snappy from start to finish and al though most of the spectators wore overcoats the chilly weather did not seem to affect the players any. Even the most rabid of the Jewett City fans could not kick over the fact that this game was not of Al quality ball Ashland's catcher is surely playing in hard luck getting injured again in this game. this making the fourth con- secutive game in which he has re- ceived some injury. although none have been serious enough to put him out of the game. In this particular instance while running for foul ball he collided with one of the spectators >on the side lines and hurt his neck somewhat. he says it was some bang and that he thinks it must have been one of Ashlands local knockers whose ivory dome he collided with, cause it was sure some hard.
 Next Sunday Ashland plays the fast St. Mary's team of Jewett City. Some rivalry here and the boys say that they are going to trim the leaguers. Some job but still they think they can do it. Score:

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET

New York, June 7-The stock mar ket did not change it's character to- day, except for the fact that the days extravagantly violent movements were mostly restricted to q smaller group than usual of the so-called in dustrial specialties. m some Of these the orgie of manipulated advances was quite as wild as on any previous day of the week. Generally speaking. prices went higher throughout the list: but it was noticeable that rail- way shares hung back. and that in some of the better known industrials there was evidently pressure of reallz- ing sales.
 Foreign exchange moved sharply in favor of London today, the advance in sterling being one full point. Six millions more gold arrived from Can ada. making nearly S1S,O00,00O for the week

The Academy boys are now tied for first place in the High school league as a result of their victory over the Stonington High school, Saturday as- ternoon, at Stonington; score 9-1 The Stonington aggregation was outclass- ed in every department of the game and they were lucky in securing. their one little run.
 A heavy fog enveloped the arena during the game and at times the out fielders were barely visible from the home plate.
 A large and vociferous crowd at tended the game and there was a marvellous display of lung power. The spectators were divided into two groups-the Stonington fans on one side and the N F. A. rooters and their Westerly sympathizers on the other. All the known methods of abuse were used and a few new ones were tried with fair success.
 Mike Meek hurled fine game fot the red and white. allowing only four scattered hits and passing only two men. It is safe to say that Meek has it on any high school pitcher in this part of the state and one more year under the supervision of Coach Me- Kay should make him almost unbeat- able.
 Massey of Stonington also pitched we'll, striking out IA \. r. A. batters and walking one. He was nicked for 10 hits however which accounts the victory.
 Capt. Ray Couhihan kept the Ston- ington boys tied to the bases with a flock of fine pegs. In fact the whole Academy team played almost perfect baseball in spite of the weather con ditions and the yelling crowds.
 Stonington scored one run in the first inning, which enabled them to hold the lead until the fourth stanza. N. F. A tied them in the fourth, scored two more in the fifth and six runs in the eighth and they lived hap oily ever after.
 The deciding game with Stonington will be played next Saturday 1t has not been announced where the game is to take place but it is thought that Plant field, New London, will be chosen.
 This will be the final game of the season and it is hoped that the Nor wich fans will show a little pep and turn out strong. Norwich should not be outdone by little town like Ston- ington.
 Manager Driscoll told his men that if they succeed in winning the pen nant he will present each member oi the team with an embroidered spor1 shirt.

since 1916. when Charles (Chick) Ev-
 ans of Edgewater, won the title over
 the Mikahda Country Club course in
 Minneapolis with 2S6 strokes for the 72 holes.
 Many of the players have been prac-
 ticing over the championship course for several days and are familiar with the roll of the fairways and putting
 greens. The back tees will be used
 making the distance for the eighteen holes 6,436 yards The par is 72. The
 professionals estimate that the player who wins the title will have to shoot under 300 for the 72 holes.
 The amateurs are certain to be rep resented by Evans. the present title holder and Francis Ouimet. who wor the event in 1913. Jerome Travers who won the title in 1915. is entered but had not appeared at the course uE to tonight, and may not start. The entire field will play IS holes tomorrow and the same number or Tuesday, and the 64 having the low est cards for the two days play vii complete the 72 holes on Wednesday.
