Notes of the Game
1t was a pleasant afternoon.

This boy Jando made a good i'm
preston, and first impressions are
always best He crowds the plate,
a la Charley Hollocher style, and
steps into the pitch. First time up
he clashed hard grounder to left
field Next time he struckout in
his anxiety to connect. The third
time he made Mann race to the foul
line to pick off his fly. The last
time, with Benson on second, he
stepped into one before the break
came and drove it on line over the
infield to center fild.
Jando startled the natives with
his bullet-peg to first base on his
initial chance. 1t was a sacrifice
bunt off Mann's bat that Jando had
to come in on. The only chance
to get the runner was a fast throw
and Wire will say that it had some
force behind it,
Al Schweitzer pulled the best
catch that has been seen in Doug
las park in many's the day. In the
eighth, with Gressett on first, l.
Cole turned his drive to deep left.
AL started to one side with the
crack of the bat and by making a
long stretch reached the flying
sphere with his ungloved hand, and
held it. Needless to say, he was
given an ovation coming in to the
bench.
Gressett went back to the club
house to nail Wires long fly in the
second.
Murphy robbed Mann of a single
In the seventh by making a one
handed stop of his grounder over
second and forcing Reisigl at the
/ base.
Miller struckout seven batters
and gave three bases against Rel
sigl's five strikeouts and two
passes.
Bill Cole had an easy day in the
field, nothing whatever coming his
way. At bat he got one for four.
Ben Tate looks to have the MAX
ings of an outfielder He can hit
and, as far as fielding is concerned,
is on a par right now with a lot of
FASTENERS claiming to be outfield-
ers.
1t was fast game, only one hour
and 80 minutes being required. This
is the first time Matty Fitzpatrick
has got them through here in less
than two hours although other cit
les praise him as the l 80 umps.

VANDALISM

There seems to be almost no way of reaching the persons who delight fin destroying things. Now comes the in- formation that the shrubbery of tennis courts in Walnut Hill Park have been the objects of attention by van dals
 The limit was reached sometime ago when notice was given that the col umns in the Court of Honor had been mutilated. It seemed scarcely credi- ble that there could be people low enough to vent their excess playful greatest solemnity. cherished as very small evidences of the great honor in which Is held the memory of the New Britain men who died in the war.
 Tampering with shrubbery and ten- nis courts seems a small matter in comparison with this. But the spirit which inspires al such actions in no small matter.
 Quite probably the persons guilty seldom read. 1t seems hopeless to ap- peal to them-to shame them through print. Quite probably they do not at tend church. The clergymen feel the hopelessness of trying to reach them from the pulpit.
 Probably they do attend picture shows. A warming flashed on the screen that such persons would be arrested and punished would be laughed at by them: would make their game all the more enjoyable because of the fun they would have in continuing their vandalism when their was some excitement attached to it.
 But the press. the pulpit and people who know something of such persons do reach men and women. boys and girls who would not do such things themselves. but who know others who would and who do.
 Only through these persons may the eulprits he shown how far beneath any person laying any claim to man hood is tho committing of such acts.
 It is therefore for the boys and girls, men and women who Know about such acts and the persons who stoop to do them. to help stop their commission. No one should sit passive and allow them to continue. Every young man and young woman who hopes to have a decent influence in thetworld. and who hopes to amount to something. should help to stop this thing. And. he it said to the credit of boyhood, young manhood and woman hood. the vast majority does want to amount to something. to give out a good influence.
 There is no need to preach to them. Show such vandals that they are con sldered beneath the contempt of de- cent people. Ridicule them as children without the good chara cteristics of the chtld--and keep at 1t until such van daliam stops

PROTESTING TOO MUCH.

The latest comment regarding Ann. bassador Harvey's speech in which he protested that the United States would have nothing to do with the League of Nations. ia that the White Housa is silent in it's approval. and so is Sec rctary Hughes. The 'IrreconciIabIcs'' ot course arc not silent in praising 1t. Their natures do not harmoniza with silence in anything.
 Once again one is reminded of Car .dinal Richclieu and tho words of Shakespeare who puts into the pre-. late's mouth the expression That bows too low he surveyed thu guardsman who he suspected.
 No one suspects" anyone in thia government in matters pertaining to tho League of Nations. But every little while there comes the feeling that there is great deal of protest. ing that we will have nothing to do with the League. This ovcr-protesta- ton might quite possibly mean that the protestors see in their actions. not III thelr WoFuS, tendency toward that very League.
 There can be little question of Ambassador Harvey's sincerity in his words, whatever one may think of his qualifications for tho post he fills. He hates the League as the IrrcconciI- ables do. Ills animus toward former President Wilson remains.
