yited the broken Paugusset, Uncowa
and Potatue tribes further down the
river to join his colony, which they
did.
Calamity has followed the settle
ment throughout the most of it's exist
ence. In 1743 the Moravians estab-
hshed mission among its people,
and later induced many of them to
migrate to Pennsylvania. There they
sickened and died in numbers, the
remnant struggling back to the Scati-
cook home, where they lived on, neg
leeted and poor.
They were too weak to take any
part in the French and Indian War,
and by 1852 had dwindled 10 eighteen
families. This diminution continued
until in 1856 there were but seventy
one persons, in 1901 but thirty-five,
IN 1849 only eight or ten full-blooded
Indians and twenty or thirty mixed,
IN 1903 but one full blood and four
teen mixed. Today there are but
three of any kind. The last descen-
dant of the founder, Eunice Mahwee,
died in 1870.
One of the survivors is Cogswell
He has already survived for eighty
four years and seems in fair way to
continue to do so for some time. Cogs-
wells favorite sport is climbing to
the rocky ledge 900 feet above and
almost directly overhanging his cabin
to catch rattlesnakes. Nothing de-
lights him more than when his friends
from the reptile house at the Bronx
Park Zoo come rattler hunting and
ask his company on the climb and the

abandoned by his companions. He

Getting the breaks in a ball game
mean everything. Often some minor
happening paves the way to victory
or defeat. Scores of games during
the summer are decided by what at
the time seems a trivial break of
luck. 1t is only necessary to go back
to the recent world series to point
out several incidents which will prove
my point.
In the first game of the series you
will recall that the Reds beat Eddie
Cicotte decisively. In beating Cicotte
in that opening game Cincinnati
overcame the greatest obstacle that
doomed up in its path. 1t may be
ancient history, but the break in that
game came in the inning in which
Cincinnati scored five runs and drove
Cicotte from the box. ''Sw ede' RiS-
berg contributed the break.
In attempting to complete double
play that would have retired the side
his spikes caught in the bag as he
piyoted to make the throw to first
after receiving the ball from Col
Inns. 1t caused him to stumble for
ward at least a step, and by the time
he was in a position to make throw
Il was too late. Kopf, who hit the
ball, beat it 4 step.
Under ordinary conditions Nopl
would have been thrown out at least
two steps Then followed batting
rally that netted five runs AFTER Two
men were out. Don't misunderstand
me: / think Cincinnati would nave

stumbled. Cicotte was not right. and
have found way to make enough
runs to win. The break in luck
simply hurried the finish of Cicotte.
After the fifth game of the series
the count stood four games to one in
favor of Cincinnati. 1t certainly
seemed all over but the shouting. In
the sixth game the Reds got away to
an early lead. and those present from
out of the city began to figure on the
best train connections. The White
Sox seemed to be on the run, ready
to take the count. Then came the

game that seemed hopelessly lost.
took on renewed confidence, and We're
able to drag out the series to eight
games before the Reds captured the
hOnors.
That break came when a Chicago
player sent up a Texas Lacquer which
would ordinarily have been the ca siest
kind of a chance for Left Fielder Dun
can or Shortstop kopf. Both men got
under the ball then got mixed on
their signals. stepped aside and al
lowed the ball to drop to the ground.
Chica go got three runs in that inning,
which were undeserved. Those three
runs put them back in the running.

Bile.
/ is just such things. however that
make the game of base ball interest
ing and uncertain 1t is a difficult
game to dope simply because no one
can look into the future and pick our
minor happenings that very often de-
termine the result. 1t is impossible
to dope in advance how some infielder
is going to stumble over the bag with
an easy double play in front of him,
how two fielders are going to do an
Alphonse and CASTOR and allow an
easy fly to drop safe or how some
player is going to fail to touch base
and thereby undo everything.
1t is just such things that make
every ball game different. There are
no two just alike. 1t is such things
that make crowd file back into the
park after goodly portion had start
ed for the entrance, believing it was
all over.
