Gerard Cartier gave only two hits struck out seventeen batters, and won his own game with hit in the open ing round as Putnam High defeated the Pomfret School varsity nine at Pomfret Wednesday afternoon, to q In winning over the prep school Car tier, now a senior and captain of the team, realized the ambition of his en- tire high school athletic career. For four years he has been on the school team fhe last three e pitcher. Last year with any kind of support behind him he would have given Pomfret a tight game. W tuesday his own abil- ity. aided by excellent support at crit ical times, gave him the verdict. IL was the first Putnam win over the nran school within the memory of the oldest inhabitant
 Sch duled as a none too strenuous game between the two big pomfret contests of the year. Putnam sprang a surprise on the school nine. Though not bit of credit should be taken from Putnam for holding the strong pomfret team seoreless. t is also ap- parent that loose Pomfret playing afeld was indirectly responsible for putnam's one big run in the first frame.

Eight Ina Row

According to those who have watch ed the Pomfret games this year. Car tiers exhibition of pitching was on a par with that of the best prep school and college freshman twirlers who have worked there this season. In- cluded in his seventeen strikeouts was every man on the team at least once. with the exception of Howard John son. the captain. Whitiemore and Plunkett. both heavy hitters in other games. each famed three times, and kniffin, Probst and F. Thayer twice.
 After two were out in the opening inning, St. Onge reached second on Probst's error. and came in when Car tier singled, Cartier was out at second on an attempted steal. In Pomfret's first Johnson led of with double to center. but got no further. In the third Putnam had two on base but did not score. With two out in Pomfret's third Cartier got K. Thayer on strikes to close the inning. In the fourth he made Whttemore, F. Thayer and kniffin fan in a TOW. In the fifth, plunkett. probst and Perkins took their three swings apiece and walked hack ta the bench To start the sixth Gundry famed, but Johnson broke the SD Il of eight successive strikeoats with a grounder 10 the third baseman which he couldn't beat out.

 Putnam had men un bases in the seventh and eighth innings, bu. the hit that would have meant a rltn was not forthcoming Threatening rallies th final inning were stopped by double plays by both teams.
 Pamfret started k Thayer in the box. The week before he had pitched I nozhit, no-run game against Wind- ham High. He went fairly well for three innings. with Gundry and Poster succeeding him.

there seemed to be ground for think.
ing Mayor Kendrick was such an Of
hcial. Yet all those who applauded
his selection of General Butler as di-
rector of public safety and hoped for
q complete support of him felt in their
hearts that the chances We're against
such an ideal form of administration.
The dismissed police head Of Phila-
delphia is really to be congratulated
upon getting out. even though he was
forced out, of situation in which he
could not possibly have been happy
through a conscientious. complete dis
charge of duty. 1t may he that as
result of his nearly two years of serv
ice, and the dramatic close of his ca
reer there. he will have contributed
somewhat, perhaps materially, to Phil
adelphia's welfare. An aroused pub
lie sentiment may cause genuine
reform that will last just as long as
the law-abiding citizens remain on the
job OF demanding in their official rep
resentatives in the municipal admin
iStration undisCriminating honesty
andscompleteness of law enforcement.

ment, but 1t is clear that they have
expressed their dissatisfaction to their
pastoral leaders.
The practical effect Of the letter Of
the clergymen will be most marked
upon the union officials who have thus
far been refusing any form of arbitra-
ton but one virtually Of their own die
tation. President Lewis and his asso-
ciates Of the miners union hierarchy
have probably known for some time
the sentiment of the miners, but fight
ing for q principle" they have not
permitted public knowledge Of the
state of feeling in the ranks. That
principle is to fight to the finish for a
stipulation rather than for the real
betterment Of conditions.
If eighty-five per cent of the miners
of the anthracite field want to go back
to work, why do they not do so? That
question IS naturally asked. The rea.
son is that they must vote through
their local unions, which are domi.
mated by the stronger minds" Of the
regions represented, men who are first
of all union officials, in close affiliation
with and under the influence OF the
national organization. Though there
may be three-fourths' sentiment in
the ranks for settlement, it is next to
impossible to manifest 1t against the
will Of these local heads. The majority
of the miners are not particularly in
telligent men. Most of them are illit-
crate, many Of them, indeed, are un.
naturalized aliens who speak little. il
any. of the language Of this country.
They are easily lied" and they lack
the initiative to declare themselves,
especially after a strike has gone on
for time and they are constantly be-
ing told that a vitality important prin-
ciple is at stake. Probably not one in
three of the men now on strike knows
the precise difference between the
propositions of the union leaders and
those Of the operators.
It would be a mercy to the coal
miners If this clerical letter now
should bring about a resumption of
mining. These clergymen have per-
formed a valuable service in thus
bringing definitely forth the fact that
the men want to go back to work. for
it is fact and the union leaders know
it, and 1t Is time that the public
should know it.

Butler and Kendrick.

One result of the dismissal of Cen
eral Butler from the post of Director
of Public Safety in Philadelphia-for
it has proved to be a dismissal at the
eleventh hour of his term-will prob
ably be an uncovering of conditions
in that city. Unquestionably the re-
firing director has the advantage of
the situation in point of revelations.
He has already declared that Mayor
Kendrick has not been sincere in his
desire to clean UP the town, that he
has protected certain large interests
while appearing to be Jealous in his
program of municipal morality. Spe-
cific instances are cited, such as the
sidetracking of charges against one of
the largest hotels in the city for liquor
violations. 1t will be difficult for
Mayor kendrick to meet these allega
tons.
General Butler took Il long chance
when he accepted the Philadelphia Iii
rectorship of public safety. He should
have known that it is one of the hard
est things in the world for a munich
pal administration to be 100 per cent
straight in law enforcement on all
lines, especially in a city with so much
politics" as Philadelphia. A mayor
who will go after all the dives and
crooked games and iawless enterprises
in a whole hearted spirit of refcrma-
ton is rare, indeed. At the outset
