tclare him free agent.
When Detroit went to sign hin
again, Frank Navin had to pay him
$500 to sign another contract
Detroit also has in Herman Pillet-
tie, the leading pitcher of the team,
/ a youngster right out of Horatio Al
gers fiction.
The Portland Pacific Coast League
club had a pitcher last year, Sylves-
ter Johnson, who had done so well
that the scouts of all the major
league clubs were making offers Of
large cash.
The Tigers came along with bid
| of 100000 and the deal was made.
When the time came for delivery.
the Portland management thought
perhaps they had done so well in
the transaction that they should
throw in little extra material
Pillette, a long, ungainly looking
rookie had been sitting on the bench
so long that they tired of him end
thought little of his prospects. He
was thrown in with johnson on the
deal and sent to Detroit.
Cobb didn't think much of him
and didn't give him chance until
Johnson hurt his wrist and became
practically useless for the season.
Pillette was thrown in to fill bad
hole and he delivered sensationaIly.
He is not only the leading pitcher
on the club but promises to develop
into one of the best in the league.
Cobb was asked recently what he
would take for Pillette and he ans
wered:
DO you think any club would go
higher than $150,000?"

NEW YORK, Aug. 15-(U. PD-
Ty Cobb not only was about The
greatest of all bali players but HI
darn near is now.
The high tension wire of the De
troit Tigers has more years on hi.
shoulders and more service /stripe:
on his arm than any other activs
player in baseball and he has no idea,
of quitting.
In his eighteen years of campaign
ing down the hard major league pike,
he is threatening to take his old
place of batting king with a mark
better than 400.
That's his remaining ambition.
Cobb's eye is still as sharp as fif-
teen years ago. He still has the in
stinct of camping in the right place
for the centerfield drives and his
hands still holds them. Age is show
ing only in his work on the bases.
My old legs aren't as good as they
used to be- Cobb said during the re-
cent visit of the Tigers tor New York
Il don't steal bases like ] used to-
Not because I have lost too much
speed, but because base stealing is no
longer big factor in winning.
with the lively ball and the cpl
demic of hitting, there is no need in
risking injury by going down to sec
ond for close play when you have
just as much chance to score by
waiting on a double or a triple be-
hind you. / think if l wanted to
take the chance andqfound the need
pressing, ] could get ont and lead the !
league again in base running
The Tigers have a young short |
STOP Emory Rigney. who looks like |
one of the best prospects in baseball. |
Rigney is also a lucky young man.
The Tigers bought him several |
years ago from the Texas League and
sent him back for something. Strings
We're kept on him but they became
so tangled in number of transfers

British Statistics

/ there were LOO 600 tons of British
ships tied up in their own ports, COM
pared with 100000 tons on Janu-
airy /
The recent depression, it was said,
was due to the fact that last winter
freight rates reached a low point and
showed tendency to rise. This was
met immediately by the placing in
operation of a still greater volume of
British ships, which again broke the

1t is estimated in British marine
publications that conservative valua =
ton on the idle ships at present prices
is $45 ton, making the total tied up
tonnage worth about $3.50, 900.
ships huilt since 1915 represent still
greater expenditure for construction.
The cost of the Shipping Board vessels
now idle is placed at $1,O00,0O0, 900
alone.
The presence of this surplus ton
mage, which is ready to go into op-
Grafton the moment a profitable rate
becomes evident, keeps the industry
in a state of chronic depression,
which probably will not be lifted until
the excess is removed.
Many Firms Failed
In the last two years hundreds OF
steamship concerns launched during
the war have succumed. Many others
are struggling along from day to day
in the hope of an Improvement which
is not yet in sight

PERILOUS SHAMPOOS

fore his vassals would bow the knee when he crooked his finger.
 When my girl friend Ethel Skinner succeeded in marrying Albert Hoops the rest of us cholled down our wrath and anguish and helped make the wedding a success as far as we could with peach colored organdie dresses and bouquets of roses and we spent hours among our selves saying over and over again that we couldn't see why Ethel. Skinner of all persons should have won the prize. Albert was such a graceful, distinguished appearing man in his evening clothes and his pompador was so heavenly and slicked back so we'll and his air was that associated in ones mind with mill lions, country places and yachts. That is, until the whole crowd went on beach picnic with Ethel and Albert to chaperon. All Of us were in the water except Albert.
 Where's Albertr everyone was ask ing, looking everywhere and wondering who was the individual who seemed to have hutted into our party. He was a skinny, shivery,' knotty looking microbe with blue nose and lank hair streaming down his forehead. He looked about as l impressive as 'superannuated clerk who had starved to death all his life. You lnstlnctlVely felt that It would be best should some kind soul push him down l beneath the purling waves and hold him there till he drowned.
 "'Why, there's Albert.' laughed Ethel, gayly, pointing to this hitherto uniden- | tified object. Didn't you know him 9 l Trying to pass it off, you sec Game, that girl is. Why, she acted as though Albert was just as marvellous as ever, but all of us knew it was merely won | derful heroism on her part and that 1 inwardly she was seething with shame

 The man from the city was driving among the hills with friends to see ti,e scenery and came upon an artist, Mvrk- ing painstakingly, doing one of the scenes in oil. They watched the painter some what to his discomfort and then they went away. Imagine the painters cha grin, or something; when he heard aft erward that the man had said:

IN THE PUBLIC EYE

Thomas J. Walsh, who is one of the leading democrats suggested as possi- ble successor to Justice Day of the su- preme court of the United States, has been one of Montana's representatives in the United States Senate since 1913. Senator Walsh has come up from the ranks, having been a teacher following a course of common school study. Later he studied law at the University of Wis consin, and settled down to seek clients in South Dakota. In 1890 he moved to Montana and began to flourish profes- sionally and politically by challenging the powers that had long controlled the state. His reward did not come until in 1913 he was successful in triangu- lar fight for the senate with g. republican and a progressive as competitors. He has figured prominently in the demo- cratic national conventions for some years past and has rendered notable service as campaign organizer.

THE rE1rrLEToN RECEPTION.

Without any question the people of Norwich and vicinity, both men and women, will take advantage of the op- portunity which has been created For them by the republican town committee to meet Lieutenant Governor and Mrs. Charles A. Templeton of Waterbury this afternoon at the parlors of the Wauregan House.
 Lieutenant Governor Templeton as the candidate for governor has been finding it difficult in carrying out the program that has been arranged for him to visit all sections of the state. It was impossible to have him here for the rally, but there is no question but what the chance to greet and get ac- quainted with the next governor and his wife will be seized by the Norwich people.
 By this trip into this part of the state Lieutenant Governor Templeton is extending hfs otherwise well filled speaking schedule, and even though his visit Is being made on short notice there is no doubt but what the chance to see and hear him will be welcomed by the many who are interested in his campaign in which he assures the state the continuance of the sound, business like government 1t has been experience ing.

coNNEcT1oUT'S MEN HELPED GET
 RESULTS,

The record of accomplishment by the republican administration at Washing. ton within the past two years was ad- mirably set forth by Senator Edge of New Jersey at Tuesday evenings rally. It was a presentation, by one who had had . hand in the accomplishments, of the great amount of constructive work that the Harding administration has Hone, and done in a. short time for the seifare of the whole country. It was a time when 1t was necessary to turn pack the tide of extravagance and waste that had been running too long and setting up in it's place sound and sconmoical government, restore peace and bring back that return of healthy industrial activity for which there had been such widespread yearninE. Thus lt is to the everlasting credit of the ad- ministration that 1t had done such ef- sective work in 70 short a period of time.
 At the same time 1t is not to be over. looked, by the men and women Of this snd of Connecticut, that there was an important part played in the admins. .rztion's accomplishments, and the re. placing of hard times with Harding times, by the Connecticut members in congress. They have faithfully repre- rented the interests and welfare of their constituents and they are certainly de. serving of being returned to Washing. ton that the same competent and in. auential service may be continued Con. necticut in fact cannot afford to lose Buch representatives. \.
 Senator Mcean stands among tht leaders in the United States senate Connecticut wants the benefit of such $ Senator's services, and 1t cannot fail tt realize that while he stands at the to] new man as senator from this stat must start at the bottom.
 It is quite the same situation concern Ing Congressman Freeman, whose sey lral terms in the house have made hin tar more valuable than a new mai could be. This Second district canno lail to recognize the importance of re taininE the benefit of his experience il looking after eastern Connecticut's in !erests at washington.
 And while 1t should be the aim to in Sist upon theS retention of administra lion supporters 1t is likewise import n that the same consideration should b given to the republican sate ticket an members of the next general assembly Good government must be the aim fo both nation and state.
