NORMAL Team WINS
SEASONS OPENER
Merciless Walloping Handed To
Paint Lick Aggregation on
Local Grounds Thursday

The members of the base ball
team at the State Normal School
Thursday afternoon had the work
out of their lives when they start
ed in to wallop the aggregation
representing the high school of
Paint Lick. The local boys lin
ed up with Captain Callihan in
the pitchers box, and Gray catch
ing. 1t was soon apparent that
Paint Lick was not in the run
ming, when one after another of
the home, boys just hit and ran
until they were tired. The visit
ors were allowed to come to bat
only at the pleasure of Callihan
and his crew. They were not
able to make it interesting and
called for volunteers.
The team of the visitors was
strengthened by James Lackey
going into the pitchers box and
Alvin Holdcraft, former student
at the Normal, catching. This
evened things up fairly well, al
though when the ninth inning
was reached all were tired out,
and there were II runs to the Gre
dit of the Normal boys while they
allowed the visitors an unlucky
.13.
1t was the first game FOR each
of the teams this season but the
manager of the visiting team said
that he never expected to meet
such stiff aggregation. The To-
cal boys have been practicing but
little, which adds to the credit of
their play.
William Burnam, of this city,
was another called upon to fill a
position on the visiting team i'll
order to save a portion OF the
day. He played in his old time
form, SO his friends say, and his
work will be watched in the fu-
ture with interest should he be
lined up against the student team.
But little attention has been
given to base ball this season by
the boys, according to Captain
Callihan, but he claimed that
there would be a most interesting
series of games later i'll the sea-
son. The next game will be
played at the local grounds and
the opposing team will be either
Stanford high school or the Mil
Ilersburg Military School team.
Captain Calihan, of the Normal
said today that he did not expect
to make such a brilliant start, and
that he had an abundance" of
good material and that if neces-
sary, he could strengthen his
team very materially.
Since the showing made, the
players themselves are recogniz-
ing the fact that they stand IA
vorable show of making an envia-
bic reputation this year, and it is
expected that the players repre-
senting the Normal will be the
strongest since the establishment
of the institution.
Business Manager, F. c. Gen
try, of Normal, was called to wit
ness the slaughter of the visitors
but he was unable, he said, to re-
main throughout the game, since
the home boys performed then
work so easily, "mercilessly," anc
with an apparent relish.

SCuDDER
HAS HEAVY LOSS
When Fire Cuts Her Bakery and
Destroys Rugs And Much
Cake Material

Thursday night at 8 o'clock,
fire damaged small building
used as laundry and bakery at
the home Of Ellen Scudder, col
ored, on Parrish avenue, to the
extent of $780, Ellen, who is
one of the best known colored
women in town and a famous
cook and caterer, stated that the
fire, which started evidently from
the laundry stove, had gained
good headway before being dis
covered. A telephone call
brought the department and the
hremen had a stiff fight on their
hands, preventing the flames
from reaching the Scudder home
adjacent. A line of hose was in
play Immediately upon their ar
rival, but the frame structure
was Soon reduced to ruins.
Firemen, in speaking of the
fire stated that they were hinder
ed in reaching the scene of the
fire as a result of drivers of We
hicles failing to give them the
right of way. Truck driver Mel
son stated that this was often
the case, and that in some i'll
stances, not only accidents, but
the practice occasioned much de-
lay.
Il nearly collided with a halt
dozen autoes and trucks, in
going to that fire last night, y
said Driver Nelson today, i'll dis
cussing the situation. "The pub
lie don't seem to- understand that
it is for the welfare of both the
people and the property that we
get to a fire iii the shortest time
possible.
In addition to the loss of the
building, which was gutted, Ellen
lost a number of her best rugs
and draperies, which she had
stored on the second floor of the
building; also about 100 pounds
of best flour and more valuable
still about 100 pounds of sugar,
which she had on hand to use in
baking her famous cakes.

THREATENING COMMUNICATION.

The recent Wall street explosion calls renewed attention to the cranks who tahe delight in writing letters, and the letters they write In this instance It has not been determined that Fischer had any part in the bomb plot. That he knew something about it, wkere it was going to be touched of and approxi- nately wher, has been demonstrated by his warnings. That he has been recog- nized as a person mentally unbalanced has been shown, while it has been found that he has been also classed as one of those letter writers who is annoying but harmless.
 There are unquestionably many such letters despatched every day by men of a similar makeup. There are others who threaten violence by such a method which it does not appear as yet that Fischer did. How many such commu- nications are turned over to the au- thorities there is noAway of knowing Probably there is greater number which are thrown into the waste basket whether they threaten harm or give warnings of impending danger, just as the Fischer notes were and no attention paid to them
 In many instances such a disposition ends the matter, but the New York af fair raises the question as to whether it is advisable to pay no attention t, such things or to do nothing to stol threatening writers from being locate, and restrained as a menace to pabli, safety. As long as they reTra:n harm. less it is useless to waste time witl such people. but there is no telling whei they are going to step over the harmles line and put into effect their threats.
 Had Fiseher's notes been communi cated to the police when received might not have been possible to hav prevented the explosion but there coul undoubtedly have been some valuabl' work undertaken in competitor therewit which would have put the authorities i closer touch with the principals. Fisch CTS warning could have been used t prevent at least the great loss of lift The danger of paying no attention in protective way to the letters of crank has been plainly disclosed in this ir stance

COMING BACK STRONG.

That the Poles and the bolsheviki are not disposed to rest idly on their arms while their representatives are meeting in Riga for the purpose of arranging an arnistice and peace is indicated by the new successes that have attended Polish activities eliminating in the capture of the fortified city of Lutsk. Pushing for ward to this point carries the Poles be- yond fhat might be termed the ethno- graphicN line but not beyond the point where it might be expected to go in or der to give protection to what it consid- CTS should be Polish territory. In going to such a point Poland would be going in accord with the advice received from France
 Whether it will insist updn keeping Lutsk under the terms which may be set forth at Riga time will tell. But it is possible that even this city may be with in the territory which the soviet govern ment has been reported as declaring that it would be willing to give Poland if peace were declared. Whether it is or not. it can be appreciated that it's cap ture gives the Poles an extra advantage in insisting upon the terms that it de- pands, providing it is able to retain pos

EXPORTING orR COAL.

In connection with the suspension of the priority order on coal whereby New England will have to take it's chances with the rest of the country in getting supply, it will be interesting to learn where the coal which had been coming to this part of the country as the result of the interstate commerce commissions order will go.
 Other sections, including some of the southern states, have been clamoring for a part of the coal that was being sent to New England, but while We were getting coal before others were served it is to be noted by the figures of the geo. logical survey that it did not have any effect upon the exportation of coal. 1n- stead of curtailing the coal sent abroad until those needing it in this country were served it appears that there has been a steadily increasing amount be- ing exported. During the month of Aug ust there were exported through i've ports total of 2,2s5,ooo tons or an excess of 200, 900 tons over the July exportation. thus establishing a new record. This ex- portation amounted to more than twice as many tons as were sent to New Eng land and yet New England is not prop erly prepared for the winter and other sections were crying for the coal that was being sent here. Apparently tfrt high price that is being obtained fol the coal exported is making it easy tc pay less attention to meeting domestic requirements.
 But while this exportation has had t' do with bituminous coal there is begin ming to be realized the outlook that il faced regarding anthracite. There vii be a number of weeks yet, possibly thre' months, before winter will interfer with the movement of coal but unles there Is obtained much greater uuarti ty than has been received in the pas three months New England faces an other winter during which fuel shortag
 as well as price will cause much wcrr

roDAY,s DOUBLE SESSION.

Once again the members of the gen. eral assembly will gather in Hartford today for the purpose O. completing the business that was begun as the opening of the third special session : week ago, and to comply with the call issued by Governor Holcomb for the fourth spe- cial session fixed for today. It is an unusual situation but one that has been created by the ratification of the suf- frage amendment to the federal consti- tuition and the uncertainty which has been created by the muddle in Tennes- sec
 Before the adjourned session there will be such business as may be pre- sentea by the Judiciary committee con- corning changes recommended in the laws because of the extension of the right to vote to women and the recog- nizcd need of providing adequate faci!:- ties for making voters for the many who are expected to exercise their right The committee appears to have had a number Of propositions presented to it for it's approval, some of which seem ts have been outside of the purpose of leg islative action at this time, but it will be upon the committee report that the legislators will be asked to act.
 At the additional extra session the business will be the matter of ratihca- tion of the suffrage amendment, action which there are those who maintain should be taken in order to avoid just such complications as now surround the Tennessee vote. By ratification today there can be no question but what there is . right to act upon this matter. Fa- vorabie action is anticipated and follow ing such ratification there will then be provided at least the necessary 3e states tc make the amendment a part of the constitution, and give the women throughout the country the right of suf. fraga.
 Called fer the purpose of putting an end to any uncertainty the importance of eliminating any doubt is before the legislature rather ttan .he matter oi pleasing or disrieasing the governor whose entire stand has been tn behalf O. constitutionality.

THE c. OF c. REoRGANIzArIoN

Not only the members of the former chamber of coplmerce but the entire community is or at least should be- in- tersted in the membership drive for the new chamber which will be opened this morning. It will be an intensive cam paign from which, if we are to judge by the results obtained elsewhere, Norwich Is going to experience marked benefits in the future. Norwich needs the strong est, livest and best civic organization of this character that can be secured It not only needs it but it should have it. After years of experiments and experi- ences it is believed that the most prac- tical plan of perfecting, mainta ming and getting results from such an organiza- ton has been obtained and it devolves upon the people of Norwich not only to give it an enthusiastic trial but to make t rousing success.
 The chamber of commerce is the or ganization through which it is desired to have all the citizens work for the i'm provement, betterment and Identification cf the city. The problems it tackles should not be left to few There is reed for the strongest kind of support by the entire community. When the rraLy get back of an undertaking show an interest in it's object and put tiicir shoulders to the wheel, instead of leaving it for a few to do and then find fault because results are not what theE hoped for, there will be that comnu. rtty rush which is SC important ir buii1'ng up a city.
 Reference is often made to what ethe, cities do in the way of maintaining eh er. getic civic organizations There is nc reason why Norwich cannot do the eame if it is so disposed. What is needle is to back up such an organization in the sa7-e way that the other cities yvkich are referred to do and there will be the desi-ed opportunity to show elatio1 over lo.,ai results.
 chamber of commerce cannot sxist without members or without funds anc h' credit to a community, and there Is TO question but what the public spiri cf the community will be displayel IT the large number who enlist in the nov; to secure an effective chamber of com merce and make of Norwich a more pro gressive city and town.

Why vet. for a Dead 1ssueq

 Mr. Pussyfoet Johnson. Because if we

 It is no use wasting bait on fish already
 caught, as my husband puts it when l want him to buy me a new hat
 She seems to think that a few women will vote democratic and lot will vote republican. fail to see her line of logic for although I am a republican in na-
 Iional and state affairs (town affairs are not politics, but a matter of business)
 nnd my husband is democrat, I must acknowledge that he as well as other democrats are the ones that have fought for years for equal suffrage, while the
 republicans have generally fought I against it. Witness Governor Holcon1b. She says why should any man speculate | in the way women will vote. I can't set my speculation about it.
