) to l from Connecticut Mills in a hard fought and exciting game here Sunday afternoon. The sacks were loaded when Chet whaled out his homer, so by his clout he boosted the score by four. Elm mons had previously, been forced in when with all the bases filled. Maloney, pitch ing for the losers, passed Donais
 It was the second in q series of games between these clubs and as Goodyear walked away with the game the Sunday before the win of last Sunday ended the series. But Goodyear did not have the easy time in this last set-to that was the case before. Connecticut Mills had strengthened by six new men, including a battery and the result was that the clubs were pretty evenly matched Good year was kept humping all the way, being constantly on the Alert lest their strong works would be bowled over by the per ssitent opponenets.
 Nichols pitched line ball. holding things well in hand. He struck ,out twelve men and allowed but eight hits. Maloney. said to hail from Boston college, hurled for the losers His work was of the finest calibre but at times was little un- steady. He whiffed seven and his offer He walked four and hit Chet Nichols on the left arm.
 Goodyear did all the damage in one nning-the fourth. After Gilmore had whiffed Emmons drew pass. Leo Pell rapped out one just out of reach of Dresser, playing short, and Patneaude followed with one that F. Morin, playing right tried hard to gobble after a long run. The bases were loaded. Donais drew walk and forced in Emmons. Then Chet Nichols went to bat. Plucking out
  the pill over the stone wall in right. In the wake of three men he trotted around the circuit and hung up a home run.
 Goodyear threatened to tally again in the fifth when Sherman worked around to third, but the dark cloud for Connecti- cut Mills passed over without any dam age being done.
 With two men on in the third, it look ed as if Connecticut Mills would score sure, particularly so as no one was out A double steal was attempted but when Dresser failed to hit the pitched ball Paulhus was easily tagged out at the plate Nichols struck out the next two men.
 But the losers pushed one over in the fifth Adams started off with a single was advanced a peg when Pellerin got a hit, and scored when Paulhus came through with the needed bingle. Maloney drawing a pass, choked the bases. And there were none out It sure looked like old home week for Connecticut Mills But the next three men couldn't hit, for in turn they were downed on strikes by Nichols elusive shoots. Paulhus and Adams were the star hitters for Connec- ticut Mills. The former got two singles and the latter made double and sin gle. Gladu, w, Morin, Pellerin and Ma loney were the others who connected for safe hits.
 For Goodyear, Leo Pe1l and Nichols made the best hitting records. They got two apiece, the formers being singles and Patneaude.
 Gladu, playing center for the losers, made the star catch of the game, pulling one down with his gloved hand and doubling the play at first

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
Market Was Dull

New York. Aug 16-The stock mar ket resumed it's recent dull and tor tuous course. the foreign situation and further movement of funds from this point to agricultural centers serving as the chief deterrents to any conservative efforts.
 DevelcI ments over the week-en1 in the Russo-Polish war contributed to the irregularity of internationl exchange, al- though Paris remittances strengthened visibly on announcement that the French government will meat it's part of the Anglo French loan Tt maturity.
 Reports from leading transportation terminals indicated freer movement of freight and this, together with better credit conditions imparted a frni to strong tone to rails of the higher class. The inquiry for these shares, however, was light at best.
 Shorts concentrated their operations in shippings.- low priced oils and motors and some of the better known special ties comprising the rubber, chemical, textile food q paper groups, in which extreme losses extended from one to five points
 The few striking exceptions to the general reaction included Crucible and Replogle Steels and among oils con- spicuous strength was shown by Royal Dutch and Shell Transport. Final dealings were confusing, some of the steels equipments and sugars coming forward smartly while American Car and affiliated issues developed increased heaviness. Total sales amounted to 275.00 shares.
 Conditions affecting the money market were unchanged. all call loans being 3c+ SIJ1fr quotation, with only nominal sums await able for 30 and SO day loans.
 Bonds, including Liberty and interna- tional issues. were light on moderate dealings. Total sales aggregated ss,- 3T5.001.
 Old L. S. bonds were unalterel on call.

Hammering Howie of Woonsocket. Hammering Howie is a protege of Howie Hodgkins who is reputed never to have picked lemon Hammerlng Howie is a real boxer having many wears of experience and a world of az gressiveness. Russell on the other hand is justs as aggressive as was shown when he went after Tracey Fer guson at the last exhibition. Russell has been in constant training since his last bout and should jump into the ring tonight in the finest fettle of his boxing career. What the outcome of the bout will be cannot be predicted as the boys are as evenly matched as two boys could be-.
 For the seni-final Mickey Travere is to meet Kid Kaplin of Meriden in an round mill. Travers, who boxed here last winter on a card on which George Proto was the star attraction, showed showed himself to be a snappy little boxer and it is reported that he is even the master of Proto when it comes to a show down. Kid kaplin is the lad who outboxed Proto several months ago and now ProtO's stable mate, TraV- CTS. is out to redeem his side partner.
 For the preliminary. Jackie Wilson has signed up Young Jenkins of Meri- den against Willie Brown of New Ha- ven. Young Jenkins showed himself to be promising boy when he boxed at the last exhibition and his chances of getting the popular verdict over Brown are good.
 The exhibition is one that will aid in the restoration of boxing to. popular favor not only in Norwich but all over the state for nowhere has an exhibi- ton be conducted more satisfactory than right here in Norwich. The man. agement of these bouts has always put on a show that has been of high order and the conduct of the crowds has been of the best, no complaint whatever having been heard.

If the weathernan favors Norwich with a clear day and evening one of the best boxing exhibitions staged in this part of the state will take place on Majestic roof this evening. To say that tonight's bouts will be the best is putting it pretty strong for it is unbe- lievable that any bouts could excell those seen at the last exhibition but these bouts will undoubtedly be fully as good after a glance at the card for tonight.
 Matchmaker Jackie Wilson has used excellent judgment in his choice of boxers and the fight fans of this city have come to regard Jackie's word as law in the boxing world. No better attraction could be desired than the main bout of the evening which brings Norwich's pride, Teddy Russell, against

RESPECT FOR HIS FEELINGS

A friend was visiting at a certain
table where little eight-year-old
laddie was running over with mis-
chief. His mother vainly tried to
catch his eye until finally she dropped
her napkin and asked him to pick it
up, AS she did so she smiled as she
whispered word in his ear and
kissed him, and little Freddie went
back to his seat with sweet sober
ness. After few moments. he said,
Mamma, please 'scuse me-" and left
the room. He was not seen for an
hour when he came into the parlor,
took a seat on the sofa by the guest
and became confidential. "Do you
know said Freddie, "that I've got
The best mamma in the world? You
didn't know she sent me away from
the table. She didn't want you to.
She's got too much respect for nv
Feelings. That time I picked up her
napkin and she kissed me, she said,
Freddie, dear, please go back to your
seat and wait little and then ask to
be 'scused and go up to your room
and wait quietly till come. She
wasn't going to let you know she
thought I was naughty. I think she
must be the very, very best mamma
there is, and I don't think I'm ever
going to be naughty lgain Fellow
