DOUST ALLOWS VISITORS ONE HIT

Daust continued his fine work as pitcher for the Norwich K. of c. base ball team yesterday when he defeat ed the New Haven K. of c. by the score of to B. Only one hit was registered against him and this oc- cured in the seventh inning. He cas- fly deserved a shut-out, but a few misplays in the infield paved the way to the three runs that New Haven scored. Daust was responsible for two of the Norwich runs by his fine hit Ing.
 The New Haven team presented a fine working infield, with Gallagan at shortstop going in big league style. He was the only one of the down state men to hit Daust safely, An- derson twirled very good game and was probably the best pitcher that Norwich has faced this season.
 The Norwich infield had an of day. and got 10 throwing the ball around in the eighth inning that resulted in two of the opponents, runs. It is very seldom that this infield goes bad but then an of day once in while is all ln the game.
 The attendance at today's game was below par. The class of baseball that Is being offered is far above anything that has been seen in these parts for many years. It is hoped that next Sundays game with the Waterbury Elks will have an attendance double that of today. Score:

dollars in five years of was is followed by a growth of 200 millions in the first year of peace. Latest figures of our exports to Asia as a whole, adds the banks statement, indicate that the total exports to that continent in he fiscal year 1920, which ended June 30 were BOA million dollars. against 604 millions in the fiscal year 1919, gain of B per cent in this first peace year in which we were expecting that Asia would return to her former habit of buying from western Europe. Ap- parently her habit, developed during the war, of trading with the United States, her neighbor across the i;'acific, is continuing and likely to continue, for this big gain in this fiscal year in our trade with Asia continues right down to the present moment, the eX- ports to that continent in a month of May, the latest figures available, show ing an increase of 43. per cent. over May of last year. While of course a part of these increases are due to higher valuations, it is quite apparent that there has also been a very large increase in quantities of merchandise moved, both in imports and exports.
 This disposition of the Far East to buy our manufactures-for more than three fourths of our exports to Asa are manufactures-is fully seciprocated by the United States, whi>h increased it's imports from Asia 50 per cent dun . ing the fiscal year 1920, our total im- ports from that grand division in the year ending June 30, 1920, having been, 1850 million dollars against S31 millions in the fiscal year 1919.
 Our total imports from Asia in the fiscal year 1920-a full peace year-are five times as much in value as in the fiscal year immediately preceding the war, 1914, and our exports to Asia in 1920 are seven times as much in value as in the fiscal year 1914. The total trade of the United States with Asia in the fiscal year 1920 was 2,160 mill lions against just 400 millions in 1914.
 This tremendous increase in the trade with Asia applies to practically all it's important trading sections. To Japan our sales in 1926 were 460 mil lion dollars against 51 millions in 1914 nine times as much in the after war year as in the pre-war year; to China the exports in the fiscal year 1920 were 115 million dollars against 25 millions in 1914; to India 7S millions against Il millions in 1914-or T times as much now as immediately preced- ing the war; to the Dutch East Indies 45 million against slightly less than four millions in 1914-12 times as much in 1920 as in 1914; to the Phil ippines 72 millions against 27 millions in 1914; to Hongkong 20 millions in 20 millions in 1920 against 10 millions in 1914: and to Straits Settlements 15

TAFTvILLE LOSES BOTH OF
 THEIR WEEK END GAMF

The Taftville baseball club lost two tough battles, falling to the fast Rock vile team Saturday 10 to in a 10-inning game and dropping the Sunday contest 2-1 when they cIashed with the Elm City Giants on the latter's grounds in New Haven.
 Coder, the Taftville heaver in Satur- days game, was hit hard in the latter part of the game and in the eighth in- ming with three men on and two down he made a poor throw to first that Mills was slow in recovering, allowing the runner on third to score. This followed by two hits gave the Rockville boys tie score Trembley was rushed to the mound and was very effective, as the Taftville boys failed to hit sim in the ninth or tenth Rockville continued to hit in the tenth and scored what proved the winning run.
 Chet Waite, former leaguer, starred at bat for Rockville, securing a homer and two triples, pushing in five runs ahead of him. Coyle and Belair hit hard for Taft vile.
 Sundays game lasted eight innings, the last half being played in a downpour of rain, the umpire refusing to cali time. It was pitchers battle between Tom Sim cox, local twirler, who did the mound duty for Taftville in big league style, and Veteran Smith, the colored pitcher who has twirled successfully for Is years Taftville scored their lone tally when Belair got a life on Vests error and scored on a hit and run play when Chip Dugas drove terrific hit to left that Gordon made a good try for but failed to hold. The Giants were lucky in their half of the eighth, as Simcox could not control the wet sphere, and the colored lads scored two runs on pass, a clean single and two scratchy hits.
 For seven innings Simmy had the Giants helpless flaming the first five men to face him and keeping them under con- trol so that only three balls were hit out of the diamond It was a pity that rain interfered as the fans claim it was the fastest game played on those grounds in years Caron made a wonderful one hand catch in the sixth and was given a big ovation.
 Next Saturday Taftville lines up against Herman Bronkie's fast South Manchester club. Hyman, the all Ameri- can college pitcher. who pitched for Georgetown college will be on the mound for Bronkie's lads and Taftville will try to break his winning streak of six games.

MAJOR LEAGUE PACE sETTERs
 DISPLAYED GOOD FORM

New York, July 1S.-Good form is being displayed by the two major league pace settlers, the Brooklyn Ma tionals and the Cleveland Americans. The Superbas, who had won 22 games in the last 25 by good pitching and timely batting, disposed of their near est rival, the Cincinnati worlds cham pions, in the first two games of their series, but today the champions broke their losing streak and won from the Robins.
 Pittsburgh climbed into third place in the National League race by tlEing four games from Boston but could take only one out of three from New York, whose pitchers now are going steady. Philadelphia put up a good light against Cincinnati.
 In the American League, New York failed to keep close to Cleveland as the Yankee; pitchers were batter hard
 St. Louis, after winning series from New York by outbatting the Yankees, 59 hits to 39, in five games, was held even by Philadelphia in a double header yesterday. Boston is trQubIed with unsteady pitching.
