"pAYLIGHT SAVING"

It Is good that local factories are going to make use of that early extra hour of daylight, beginning April 3o' This decision will mean that the peo- ple o~the city. not employed in the factories, will do likewise.
 Perhaps 1t is sufficient grounds for approving the decision to say that New Britain will not go 10 work this spring and summer m hour after other cities have begun the days labor, as it would do were 1t to be city where people went to work an hour after the stage bad been set for work. But there x other reasons Remembering them and appreclat- ing their advantages will make that extra hour all the more productive.
 When mans dinner Is ready he sits down to eat 1t. If he waits an hour the suggestion of faintness may detract from his enjoyment of it; he is not able to do 1t justice-and the dinner Is not at its best for 1t is cold.
 When the light comes by winch a man may work. he should work. If he waits an hour he is no longer at his very best; the early morning hours give a man his greatest efficen- cy; he is able to do his work justice, to accomplish much more than he is in the last hour of the day-and the day, the surroundings in which he works, is at it's best.
 If man wants to run fifty yards as fast as he can he picks out the best fifty yards he can find on the road. He does not pass over some ter yards of good road and then begin his dash, running the last ten yards over rough turf. The first hour of the day of good road is used. It is the best hour

 l No man should be so mentally lazy that he will plead the necessity of ( little thought about different time ant confusion of clocks as an argumen against using that extra hour.

Even the catcher's mask. which
was invented about 1876. by Thayer,
OF Harvard, was passed up by pro-
fessional catchers for several years
as unworthy to be worn by hardened
athletes, who were proud OF black
ehed eyes and bruised faces they re-
ceiyed, and considered the scars as
evidence of their pluck and game
ness. In fact II was not until the
owners of clubs insisted on the mask
being used that the catchers could
be induced to wear either the glove
or the face protector.
1t proved to be a wise and sensible
provision, for II saved many star
catcher from a long lay-off due to in
juries and It heightened the baseball
careers Of the most valuable players
on the teams.
Catchers OF rare ability such as
Flint and others contemporary with
him did not grow on bushes, nor did
clubs carry more than a dozen
players in those days.
After the catchers had used
their masks and gloves for . while
they said: what fools we were

that he was already called that
when he was brought TO me from
my brothers stable. where he was
working as a hostler.
Greggains knew him before that
and explains Just exactly how the
name was given him by Captain
Cook. one of the editors of the
Boston Police News, a very bold,
outspoken paper that was pub

Smith, says Alex engaged in a
number Of minor fights before

The first fight Greggains re-
members him in was a four-round
preliminary at the old California
Club with Frank Purcell, who later
also came into prominence as a
fighter.
Smith was just gangly boy
then, and Purcell bested him: he
beat him up so badly, in fact, that
Smith crawled on his hands and
knees to his corner.
From then on, however, Smith
improved in his fighting, and had
whipped number of boys when
Alex went East for his second
fight with Buffalo Costello.
When Alex arrived in Boston
he called on Captain Cook, aud
during the course of their CONVEX
sation as to affairs on the Pacific
Coast the captain asked Alex TO
tell him something about boy
named Billy Smith" who was oc-
casionally mentioned in the San

L May Come Trading"

~
" timer say that in his opin-
ion the defeat of Demp-

his prime, will be something like
the defeat of Terry McGovern at
the hands of Young Corbett in
Hartford.
"And be just as much Of a sur
prise. too" the veteran said, sage
ly. Jack may be fighting some
fellow who can hit Just as hard as
he can. and who will come bearing
in on him, biff-bang. They'll be
trading smashes. and the other
fellow may have the luck to con-
meet first. and down will 90 Jack. y
The trouble with this theory, is
that Jack does not often trade"
haphazard. He has some regard
for his own protection when he is
mixing it. Still, there may be a
Young Corbett for him around
somewhere who will find a way to
get to him. But right this min
ute it looks as if Arthur O'Con-
nell has the best of the argument
when he says that Father Time
will be the ultimate conuueror Of
the man from Manassa.
