official overtures to be in the New In- ternational league, and neither was then considered, it is not q forlorn hope that Bridgeport will not be in the bigger league within a few years. The city is growing and is one of the best baseball cities in the east outside of New York, Boston and Philadelphia Last year Sunday crowds of 15,000 were not uncommon. and the daily crowds averaged better than 2,500. which is better than several of the New International league teams are playing to.
 Gene as he is best known in New London, has a host of friends in this city, Bridgeport and other cities. He is a baseball scout of wonderful acu- men and is a born baseball leader. If he makes good with Bridgeport, and it is more than likely that he will make good, he may get a manager s job in the majors. In this case he will put New London on the sporting map, for he might be able to whip a championship team together.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS DULL

New York, Nov 16.-Business on tho stock exchange today was dull and con tracted in comparison with recent fever ish activity but the undertone showed greater frmness on the further elimina- ton Of weakened accounts.
 In large part the markets stability was ascribed to sentimental influences created by the brisk recovery of foreign exchange and fulfllment of yesterdays promise If easier money, albeit the lat ter condition dealr almost entirely with call loans.
 Demand bills on London rose ' 3-4 cents to the. pound over last weeks min inum and exchange on Paris also im- proved. with concurrent betterment in renliuances to many continental points. The Greek rate, however, made no wis., fhles response to interesting political de- velopInents in that country.
 Call money opened at 8 per cent, the lowest initial figure of the month, and held at that rate throughout the session, but nominal amounts were offered "un- officially" according to reports, at yes terday's low quotation of per cent. in the last hour. -.

Chicago, Nov. Is - Eddie Clcotte, former Chicago White Sox pitcher, whose confession resulted in numer- ous indictments by the special Cook county baseball grand jury in connec- ton with the 1919 world series scan dal, probably will not be punished for his part in the game throwing, accord ing to officials of the states attorneys s office. Cicotte will turn states evil denc when the men indicted are tried and his only sentence will be banish- ment from organized baseball, 1t was said tonight.
 D. r. Cassaday of Detroit, Cicotte's s attorney, conferred today with state s attorneys over the pitchers confess sion and possible testimony. At this conference, according to state officials MT. Ca ssaday promised that Cicotte would tell the court the same story he told the jury. AS a result, it was ar ranged for the pitcher to furnish bonds without personally appearing.
 The ball players and gamblers in' dicted by the jury probably will bt brought to trial in January, it was said. Judge Robert E. Grove, newly elected states attorney, takes office 1T December and it is believed that i'm. mediate prosecution will be instituted

staninuton,. Side of the Story.

To Sporting Editor, Norwich Bulletin:
 Several days ago 1 noticed an item In the Willimantic news concerning the Stonington football team. There are two sides to every story and we would like to give our version of the affair, although we realize that the airing of such things in the news col- umns is a detriment to the sport.
 Te item referred to states that Ston- ington was scheduled to play in Willi- mantle and that they refused, at the last minute, to take the trip because of treatment they received in the Thread City.
 Al the beginning of the year we had a letter from the Windham manager. He. wanted a game, and he stated that they were responsible for the rough treatment that the team received last year at the hands of an angry mob; policement being very scarce at the time. Then just day before the game was to be played the same man. ager wrote us and said that we would have to call the trip off because they were going to play Norwich that day. That was the game that was scheduled and that was the manner in which it was called off. Later Windham wanted a game and 1, we told them that we would play iT Stonington because the game schedul- ed for Willimantic had been cancelled 1 by them. Moreover the Witlimanti( 1 team has not journeyed down here 1T | half dozen years and 1t seemed only 1 proper for us to clai m the right o, naming the place where the game 1 should be played.
 We hope that the writer of the art
 icle was not backed up by the Wind ham manager. If such is the cas' 1 there seems to be a lack of sportsman
 ship on his part and an attempt tt get on the bandwagon and sling som' i mud
 There have been a number of contro- versies this year between high schoo teams, and we think such difference ought to be settled outside of the pa
 peis. The public will soon think 'tha

Prehistorie Moaouitoes in Ambsr.

Nearby states have long suffered the approbrium of producing large crops of vicious mosquitoes, but happily that notoriety is diminishing through the use of modern methods for their ex- termination. If the improvement con- tinues there is ground for believing that it will be necessary to, visit mu- scum to find out what the insects look ed like. :.
 There are specimens still to be found, however, and some were re- gently discovered in very unusual manner. In New York, on the most famous street in the world, is a curio shop where among other strange things sold as souvenirs are small pieces of amber cut into squares and rectangles of different thicknesses and suggesting diminutive blocks of brown sugar.
 The odd feature about these little

 Every one knows in a general way that amber Is a -rosin found in the ground of various localities bordering the Baltic sea. Perhaps it is not so well known that it's origin was simi- lar to the gum that exudes from cherry trees: but amber belongs to a bygone age and the trees that produc- ed it disappeared long ago.

table origin Is proved by it's being found with coal. or fossil wood, and also by the insects found in it.
 In some of the specimens insects with wings and legs separated from the bodies would seem to indicate their struggles to free themselves from the then viscous fluid. As more gum ex- uded the insects would become com pletely encased, and as such gums are aromatic and therefore preservative against decay, trees. gum and insects have become buried in the earth by convulsions Of nature and fossilized in time by geological processes.
