Huxh sure was in fine form. flashing ever his beuders with well nigh perfect eorfrca. Several of those who were lucky enough to reach first were the victims of his habit of picking them off ths bag
 The Norwich batters nicked Powell. the husky right handler. for 10 safeties ana seven runs. Powell was very un- rteadv and in the seventh gave way to Sorrrs. a torkhander. who finished the game without further scoring.

 Milford enjoys big reputation in thsir part of the state and the ease witf which the Knights overcame them au' -,,rs well for the success of their cham nionship ambitions.

Taftville Bearcats, the Duwels emerg- ing on the big end of a six to five score.
 Fuller, who twirled for the Duwels, pitched gilt. edge ball and got out of good many tight places. One of the most important was in the ninth inning with one man on third and another on second and nobody out Fuller struck out the next three batters that faced him. He struck out 13 men. J. Murphy of Taftville made a good showing but had to leave the box in the fifth inning on account of sore arm, He was relieved game.
 In the seventh inning with two out and a tie score of 5 to 5, Capt. Leonard stole home and gave the Duwels a one run lead, but the Bearcats came back in the eighth with one more run tieing the score again. Corcoran of Taftville hit pretty double in he tenth with Wilson third. giving Taftville a one run lead, then came the crisis when the Du- wels came to bat. Leonard. first man m. was walked. stole second and on a wild throw to the pitcher from center, Leonard went to third. Joubert up next came across with a home run just in time to give the. Duwels the game.
 Belair umpired a very good game and showed no favoritism for either side.
 The Duwels are out of game for next Sunday and would like to hear from Moosup or the Colonials for a game to- be played on the Battlegrounds. Communicate with Manager W. Pedace, se Hamilton avenue or call 1862 be- tween and any evening.

What Anon. q Gamss

Sporting Editor, Norwich Bulletin:
 I would like to know what right has Manager Benoit to claim a game with the Norwich K. c. when there is a team m the city composed of local talent that would make Taftville step little i've Her than they have been As manager of the Norwich Coloniais I had a talk with Benoit. asking him for a game and he stated that he had only one open date in September, but he could not give it to us. Now he has plenty open dates to play the K. c. team so 1t looks h me he is afraid to play the Colonials as defeat by them would practically rut Taftville out of the running.
 Taftville played Baltic two games, winning one and losing one. The Coo nials have played Baltic two games. one II innings and one nine innings. a total of 20 innings. and Baltic has not scored a run. I wonder what Manager Benoit has to say about that? Westerly K C. beat Taftviae and Mystic beat Westerly while the Colopials handed Mystic a IA to 2 trimming in their last game and then they don't deserve a. game with Taftville.
 Well. MT. Benoit. the Colonials are ready to meet. your team anywhere. any time on any percentage basis that you wish. and if your team cannot play better ball than they did in the six games that I saw them play they will be lucky to score at all.
 Hoping that I may be able to arrange a game with you soon. remain
 Yours for good clean sports. HENRY LESEMAN. Manager Colonial B. B. Team.

WEEKLY BASEBALL REVIEW
 OF MAJOR LEAGUE CLUES

New York, Aug. 7.-The final third of the major league pennant races opens with the Yankees leading the Cleveland worlds champions by one point ana me Pittsburgh National drawing away slightly from the Giants. The spurts of the third place teams. the Washington Americans and the Boston Nationals, apparently lxspe ended.
 In the American league, New York went into first place last week mainly because of CHeveland's worst slump of the season Including tcday's victories, their percentages are: New York .62245 {; Cleveland .6213e. The Indians have bat ted in only IA runs in the past seven games and Manager Speaker has been kept busy changing pitchers. The Yam kees slowed up after the Cleveland se- ries and, with the exception of Mays, the pitchers are going none too well, al- though Collins held Chicago to one hit today in a flve-inning contest.
 Washington, which dropped its past two games after winning eleven straight has been playing the best game of the American teams. The Senators batted and fielded well and last week the pitch CTS yielded an average of slightly more than two runs a game. Detroit took a series by hard pitching after losing four straight to Washington. St Louis and Boston are beginning to hit again, Chi cago is batting poorly and Philadelphia,

SATURDAYS MARKET

New York. Aug. s.-Operations on 'he short side of the stock market were re- newed today and the price movement went downward. It was a typical half half-hoiiday session of midsummer, with ~rnan attendance on the floor and per fuactory trading. Transsc sctions in the two hours amounted to 110,e00 shares.
 Such speculative ventures as were un- dertaken were mainly for the decline. Absence Of support for weak spots in the list and lack of outside demand favored this attitude on the part of traders, and The encouraging differences drawn from The weekly reviews of the mercantile srencies were unnoticed. Prospects of continued higher rates of money and re- rorrs Of the probability of further divi- dend reductions were advanced as req cons for selling and the reaction oscame more general in the late trading. The closing was heavy.
 United Drug was again under pressure. Baldwin Locomotive, Famous Ulayers, Retail Stores. Coppers and Chemicals were other stocks in which the recession v-as pronounced. The railroads were dull with losses Of point or more in Union Pacific. LzckaTanna and Delaware and Hudson.
 Absorption of bonds was on a good scale. and some of the representative is- sues. made large fractional gains Unit rd States Steel 5's were higher as were New York Central debenture gs. Betdle- hem Steel Ss Oregon Short Line re- funding rs. L R. T. 5's and Colorado and Southern refunding { 12's.

Mills then came up and caught Hanln mapping at third and laid down a pretty bunt, and followed this hv stealing second, Murphy struck out, and the finish came when the Taft vile captain drove in his timely clout. It was the finish of one of the best games seen on the Taftville ground this season.
