Baptists Clean Up
 With Presbyterians

The Sunday School League staged it's third fracas yesterday afternoon with the result that the Submarines torpedoed the Presbyterian Blue Sox amidship and sank their craft with all hands aboard, only two of the crew ever reaching home safely. Incidentally the Subs annexed nine. N. Harrington started off like a million dollars and even though the Subs put across a couple Tn the fourth they were made with the assistance of errors and no one was locking for the grand explosion which took place in the fifth when the Subs batted around and when the smoke had cleared up they had collected seven safeties and an equal number of tallies. Strain enjoyed the unique distinction of getting two safe blows in one in- ming and Gene Hampton uncorked three bagger with two on base. Af- ter making his second single in this stanza Strain took second on q wild pitch and very kindly ended the inning by being thrown out trying to pilfer the third cushion. Mitch had alreaoy been notified to bring out the fire department to put the Baptists out.
 The Blue Sox pried open their half of the festivities in the first with three successive hits but their attack died as suddenly as it start ed and only two counters came in and not another safe blow did they register till the sixth frame when they got two hits but no runs owing to a little hard luck.
 Considering the condition of the grounds and the slippery ball it was a remarkably well-played game and 1t was surprising that no more wild The experts doped the Baptists to have a cinch aa soon as the wet weather put in it's appearance as who would give Presbyterian chance with Baptist on a wet af- ternoon like yesterday? The poor Blue Sox came near drowning while the Submarines scooted around un- ders the water with reckless aban- don and when we say under water we mean it for 9 great deal of the fracas was staged under rain that even a Chicken-eater wouldn't call sprinkle.
 After the Subs had blown N. Harrington to pieces with their heavy artillery in the gory fifth, the Hon. D. s. Hummer essayed to do the twirling ect and he showed just about the incest line of stuff that the s. s. League has exposed to view in the way of pitching wares this season. Fhppin was the only member of the opposition to hit him safely in the four frames he worked and most of the others spent their time swinging wildly at his fast breaking shoots. Of the seven hits annexed by the Blue Stockings, Cliff Harrington collected three, one of which was for two bases while an other would have been good for two had it not been for the fast fielding of Toney.
 Next Thursday the Subs go up against the Chjcken-eaters and a large crowd IS looked for when these two meet for the second time.
 Following the game dinner will be given by the Methodists to the three teams, their managers, their pastors and their Sunday School superintendents.

Edu- cational institutions without excep- tion endorse it heartily. Catholic priests join with Protestant ministers and public school teachers, business men, manufacturers and labor leaders in the statement that nothing would be more wholesome and enjoyable for their people.
 Tickets are going rapidly and the Chamber of; Commerce, which is sponsoring the. chautauqua, feels as- sured that it will be wonderful suc- cess. So successful has it become that 34 towns have signed 10 year contracts.

JOE LORRAINE HAS
 REMARKABLE BANJO
Doughboy Coming Here Presents
 It to Smithsonian Institution

Why don't everybody always tell paperrlan often hears. But hardly anyone realizes just what would hap pen if everybody always told the truth and told all the truth The many amusing as we'll as mbarrass- ing incidents which arise from telling the whole truth at all times are shown in the comedy drama, Nothing But the Truth which will be presented on Saturday night of next week by the Swarthmore Chautauqua. The funny experiences which Bob Bennett had when he wagered $1O,000 that he could tell absolutely nothing but the truth for 24 hours, help one to ap- preciate just what nothing but the truth" really means. The playlet is given under the direction of Miss Maria Steadman, who is connected
 with the department of public speak l ing of the University of West Vir- ginia.
 The last afternoon of the chautau- | Tuesday, will be devoted to the Junior Chautauaua. This interest l ing and novel form of entertain | ment never fails to make big hit. The performe in this feature event are New Britain boys and girls who will be drilled especially for this af- ternoon's program.
 In connection with the Junior Chautauqua program the audience will be entertained by the famous Joe Lorraine. Joe is known from coast to coast as one of the best public en- tertainers on tI1e boards today. He can initiate anything from a tin whistle on peanut roaster to a freight train loaded with Ford parts. He can play banjo as though he invented it and can tell stories until the cows come home before his au- dience wants him to stop. In the A. E. F. Joe was one of the favor only year ago that the government permitted him to come home from Russia, where he had been entertain l ing the doughboys. A banjo which
 he brought back with him has been i put into the Smithsonian institution l IS one of the curiosities of the war It has written on it the names of many | distinguished Europeans, generals
 statesmen, soldiers and sailors who were treated to sample of Joe's 1 wonderful talents.

 had the mistaken impression at first
 that it was a religious or highbrow
 affair, this impression is being dis pelled rapidly by those who know | what a chautauqua is, and who are

The robbery wasFsaid to be such a bare ts ccd one that neighbors felt sure the mar was authorized to take the goods ' ard did not interfere. In another garden few cabbages and squash Disappeared one night. Another nigh some pumpkins were missed.

YE OLD STAGE COACH

Movement on Foot to Preserve Relic
 of 50 Years Ago, Which is Now
 Falling Apart in Brooklyn.
 New York, Aug. 12.-A movement is afoot to preserve the largest stage coach in the country, fifty years ago the pride of this section
 The giant coach capable of ac- commodating 120 persons, is decay ing in Brooklyn. Cost of reconstruc- tion has been estimated at $5,OOO.
 When trolley cars were only a dream, Henry Hamilton, a prosper ous liveryman, was operating string of coaches in the Williamsburg sec tion. Chowder parties then were popu- lar and clubs complained that they couldn't get coach big enough. So the vehicle was built.
 It was drawn by 20 horses and so long was the .equipage that when a ferry was reached, IS of the horses were unhitched and waited for the craft to make second trip. Besides the driver, there was a man to operate a brake on hills. Inside and out it was decorated with oil paintings
 In 1876 the coach was exhibited at the Continental Exposition.

1.-THE BRANDED WOMAN (By Times Staff ReviewerO

The Branded Woman which was
 given its first presentation at Polls
 last night, fulfils two functions. In
 the first place it tells 8 story well
 worth sitting in at, and in the second
 place it brings Norma Talmadge to us
 This young woman, who lately has
 superseded even Mary Pickford in
 the hearts of film fans, is at her best
 in part of the photodrama, but not
 quite so convincing in the early scenes where she portrays a little girl ust
 graduating from a private school.
 There is a certain wistfulness and charm that scores heavily for Norma, and in this picture she adds a re- straint and repression that make her
 big moments seem all the bigger The dramatist has given her scant ma>
 terial to register with, but Norma succeeds despite this handicap. 'The Branded Woman" is the tale of a girl who pays for the sins of her l mother. Just what sins the mother committed was a matter that the dra-
 matist overlooked. and this was the one big defect in the play. The
 mother attempts to drag down the girl to her own rotten level, for al- most no reason at all, but the grand father steps in and saves her. Later she n1arries and tells her husband nothing. When he finds | out her past, there is trouble. but all ends we'll.
 While the play is builded on slight texture, with an almost hackneyed situation as it's finale. there is a con- vincinSness behind the acting of Miss Talmadge, Vincent Serrano ana | George FAwcett that keeps the audi | from any other consideration, 'The
 Branded Woman" is welcome simply because it brings Norma back to 1 Bridgeport.
