Red Stockings Diamond Kings
 Back In sos
BY OLD SPORT

Ever hear of the Red Stock ings, crack baseball team of the East Side, back in the early sos? It was one of the fastest ball clubs that ever strived for diamond honors, in the opinion of Tommy Kelly, of the local postoffice force, who was one of it's star pitchers. In those days the gallant Red Stockings fought many memorable con tests on the Hat Shop lot, foot of Church street, :, the Modoc field, the Meadows and on the U. M. c. grounds.
 The eyes of Tommy Kelly sparkled yesterday as he proudly recounted some of the triumphs of the famous Red StochIngs. In that lineup were Tom Malone. Jimmy Russell.
 Pete Campana and Kelly who alternated in the box and out field. Then there were Jack Began, first base; Danny Rus sell, former State lightweight champion. who covered second base: Jack Hartley, shortstop; Bill O'Leary, third base. The latter was also the captain of le fnam.
 Kelly Pitches Great Game.
 Kelly recalled one of the stellar achievements of his diamond career
 on the old Parlor Rock grounds
 when the Red Stockings shut out the | West Side Graye at the St. Mary 1 picnic, 19 to 0, in 5 innings In tha' game 1 6 St. Mary batters faced Kelly and he famed Is of them and allow l ed only one hit, a remarkable pre- | formance Horan was the battery
 pal of Kelly and the latter used g
 straight and speedy ball.
 In that great game tnere aIsc 1,;c | Challenger, Ed Mansfield and k1o
 Corner, all star players of their time l Buck Horan was also one of the best backstoppers of the day, sac
 Kelly. In the latter's opinion he
 was fast enough for professiona | company, but Horan never evincee | any desire to adopt the nationa 1 pastime for a livelihood.
 One of the greatest series for the | city championship that was staged 1 was the Red Stockings and the Eas
 Side Athletics, the Red SoX winning | two out of the three games. There | were also some TIP SHOil1llS CoiAoe"s | for supremacy between the Rec | Stockings, Newfields and the O'Neils
 Teddie Ford. John J. O'Nel and Joh1 ] Beers were also notable players il | that era. Ed Hyde. now a Norwich | resident, was another star
 Campana Greatest Curve Pitcher. Pete Campana was probably th' l peer of curve pitchers in those days l Tom Malone and Jim Russell, wer'
 also hurlers of note. Of the old Rec Stockings four are now members O the Bridgeport police apartment Malone, Campana. Began ant | O'Leary.
 s'Those were the days" declaret Kelly. "The boys played then for tn sport, and I would like nothing bet
 ter than to live them over again. | According to Kelly, Bridgeport wa. noted for its many strong baseba1
 clubs, which went out and cleaned u
 in all parts of the state, and betwee | here and New York.

IN DOLLARS AMI N

II HE LITERARY DIGEST set before the pub
j lie in its issue Of November 18th. what DiSam-
aInent means in dollars and cents, explaining why the
bankers and the Chambers Of Commerce everywhere
are as active in their support of Disarmament, as are
die preachers, idealists, and church bodies.
The Digest says, There are such things as war
profits, but the informed business man knows that they
are more than balanced by the inevitable after-war
slump Of industry, and the disarrangement of intena-
donal trade, and the years of heavy taxation.
Armament limitation is a practical proposition for the
taxpayer. The bread winner in every average family
Of FIVE in the United States is paying nearly one hun
dred dollars a year INTAKES solely to pay war debts and
to prepare for future wars, and he realizes that the
nations debt has been piled up so hugely by the late
that his children Will probably have to keep on
paying the bill as long as theyliye."
The San Francisco Chamber Of Commerce has gone
on record as placing its hope of substantial and world
wide recovery (of foreign trade and resumption of
manufacturing upon the success of the Conference on
Limitation Of Armament, and urges the administration
to use every effort to bring about a drastic reduction
of naval and military e~xpediure, so that all countries
and all classes may be relieved of a staggering burden
wfhich threatens some with insolvency and conRscation,
and all with trade s~tagnation and unemployment.
The Digest illustrates by cartoon the American fam
ly Of 1913 paying $1,000 taxes, and the family of
1921 paying $2l4.00 in taxes, and quotes from the
speech of George w. Morris, Governor of the Federal
Reserve Bank of Philadelphia in which he remarks.
There was a time when we congratulated ourselves
that we were not as war-ridden Europe, over burdened
with debt charges and obliged to give the time of our
young men and the resources Of the taxpayers to great
armies and navies. War has radically altered our
own position and put US measurably on a par with
them"
It is tue that the American people have never felt
the burden Of taxation until the past few years, that
We did look with pity that was half contempt upon a
people that allowed themselves to be bowed to earth
by a taxation which we, in our inmost beings, vowedwe,
as free American citizens would never bear. We are
