AMERICAN TOYS
FOR AMERICAN BOYS

The effect Of protection to Ameri-
can industries seems nowhere to be
more happily apparent than in the
case of the toy industry. In 1914,
the last year before the a we i'm
ported $4,000, 900 worth of toys. of
which $7,700.000 worth came from
Germany. That year we exported but
$809,00 worth, of which Canada and
England took the bulk. Then came
the war, and our toy imports from
Germany dwindled away to nothing
for the year 1918. In the meantime
the American toy industry was rap
idly developing, until this is what
Harry C. Ives, president of the Toy
Manufacturers of the United States,
has to say Of it:
1.-The American production OF toys
for 1920 Is, conservatively. 100000
900. or that total. SIS, 900, 900 repre-
sents the production Of dolls. ranging
from the stuffed cloth variety to the
finest quality throughout, and sur
passes anything in dolls ever before
produced in the world. Included in
the balance Of SOS. 000, 900 worth of
American toys are playthings of all
kinds, and all made of honest mate
rails, finest workmanship and dura-
bility, combined with originality of
ideas and design, and of truly edu-
cational value. that place them in a
class by themselves.
Just as carloads of tops are leav-
ing Vermont, carloads of sleds are
leaving Maine and Michigan, car
loads of coaster wagons are leaving
New York. carloads Of wheeled wag-
ons r leaving the state Of Ohio,
and enormous shipments Of dolls are
leaving New York City. If there is
any good reason why American chill
dren should have foreign toys forced
upon them when the supply of their
own national playthings Is abundant,
I have never heard Of it. Toys r
national to the country Of their ORR
gin. as they have been since the days
of the early Egyptians"
In addition to the fact that our toy
manufacturers have developed to a
point where they a supply the do
nestle trade with Toys Made in
America" we are now exporting them
as never before. SO. 100. 900 worth hav-
ing been exported for the nine months
of the current year ended September
80. During recent years there has
been a considerable increase Of toy
imports from Japan. but the sticks
and glue OF which these toys are
made render them SO fragile that they
give little satisfaction.
1t is the poor wind which blows
nobody good, and while the storms
Of war have o~vertoppled thrones and
destroyed property running into many
billions Of dollars. the protection
which the war gave to many Ameri-
can industries enabled them to attain
a high state of development. and I'M

tries will not be permitted to be I'M

MCDONALD PULLS
 RAW DECISIONS
New Haven Writer Claims
 Ray Grimes Was Given A Base Hit

' New Haven. Aug. &O.-It was said today that Si Mcdonald. who urn- pired the game here yesterday, was assaulted last night because some of the fans didn't like the way he called them. Here is the way one New Ha- ven papers speaks of McDonald's s work:
 Si McDonald pulled some mighty raw decisions yesterday, and every one knew it. In the first inning Ray Grimes had a two count on him and he went after high ball. He delib- ed back to the bench. Strange as it may seem, Mcdonald called three balls, and on the next ball pitched Grimes singled to centerfield. Again in the seventh, Emerick was on third and MuSser hit a grounder to Red Torpny. The local first baseman made the pdtout at the initial sack and then reiayed the ball to Johnny Nagle to catch Emerick, who had started for home. Johnny pulled one of his usual plays at the plate and Emer.ck was forced to slide off to the right of the rubber to get into home. He missed the plate by at least eight inches and Chief Bender showed Mcdonald the marks Emerbck had made coming in. But all argument went for naught as Mcdonald wouldn't listen to any pleadings or even threats. We hold no personal feelings or brief for Chief Bender, but when he registers a kick he is usually in the right He never would have objected to the decision If it hadn't been off color.

 There has recently been some talk of matching Harry Wills with Bill Brennan. Safety first, Bill. If you good night for your very bright chances of meeting Dempsey. On the other hand, should you hand Harry a terrific humping, Jack is also likely to look upon you with dis favor. It's heads you lose, tails you fail to win, if you fight Wills before meeting Dempsey.

WalShmen Advance
 On Indian Victory
Americans Pound Chief Bender for 13 Hits Same Der of Bases League L eaders Look Boys Against Marty Walls h.

New Haven, Aug. 10-By defeating New Haven here yesterday afternoon, Bridgeport went into the first divi- sion again and the best part of it all was that Walsh's men gave Chief Bender, regarded as the premier pitcher in the league, spanking. Bridgeport won the game, 8 to 4.
 The pilot of the Indians is easily the best pitcher in the Eastern League and it looks like a certa ainty whenever he takes up the pitching as signment for the locals that New. Ha- ven will win. Yesterday was one of Bender's off days, for he was pounded soundly by the Americans for total of 13 hits and the same number of bases. All of the regulars connected for at least one hit. Sherwood and K. Grimes, the two weddings of the Walkers, being the only ones who failed to hit safely. Even Marty Walsh got two. however fuky they might have been, they were two, just the same.
 Out of Condition
 l. However, in justice to the Chief, it must be said that he was in no condi- ton to pitch yesterday afternoon. He had been i'll all day Sunday and the greater part of yesterday morning, but thought he would stick in there and try to win a game for his Tribe. Then again. he was given terrible SUD- port ir the early part of the game. In the first inning Lai hit to centerfeld but it looked from the stands as though the ball might possibly have been fielded.
 Then Emerick singled to the same garden and Nutter made awful ! mess of the ball after the first bound Emerick going to third before the | sphere was recovered. In the third l inning, with R. Grimes on second I Ml.sser hit measly single to left field | that would ordinarily have hel6 l Grit third, but Simpson, the | usual reliable, let the ball get away | from him and before it had been re- | covered Grimes had crossed the plate | and Musser was safely planted on sec l orid

Dundee an Old War Horse of the Ring.
 It is a peculiar thing how some boxers flash into fame in a short space of time, and drop into oblivion overnight, while others are able to maintain their championship form over a number of years. Johnny Dundee is of rthe latter type. Johnny in his recent fight with Eddie Fitz- simmons, demonstrated that he is quite as good as he ever was, despite the fact that he has been fighting constantly for the past ten years.
 The great majority of the men whom Dundee met when he first sprung. into fame are now members of the well known Down and Out Club, but net so with Johnny. To all appearances he has several good years still before him. He is still the dashing, tearing, dangerous fighter of old.
