Joe Manning, last years captain of the 'ordham university football team. who last Sunday played with All-New Britain, has signed with the Hartford Blues, he informed Manager Ed. Daley of the local team today by telephone from Springfield. This is the first definite statement Manning has made regard ing his status with New Britain or Hartford all this week. After last Sundays game, Manning, after a conference with Manager Daley, left for Springfield promising to be with New Britain for the game against "Red" Grange and the New York Yankees in Hartford next Sunday.
 Then an announcement appeared in Hartford papers that the Ford ham man had signed with the Hart ford Blues, but Manning denied that anyone from the Hartford camp had been to see him in Springfield. Evi- dcntly he was debating at that time whether he would go with Hartford or not. Subsequent announcements cmanating from Hartford showed that Manning has all along decided to be with Hartford, and has been just "stalling" off the local promo ters.
 He engaged in the practice ses- sions with the Hartford team yes terday and when Mana ger Daley called him today and pressed him for a definite statement, he said he was going to sign with Hartford. He didn't consider his promise to Man ager Daley as binding upon him to play with New Britain Sunday after noon.
 In his place at quarterback, Man .ager Daley succeeded in getting Ed, Hunt of Norwalk. the stocky back who showed up wonderfully well with the New Britain team in it's first two games. Hunt suddenly quit New Britain after the second game without giving any reason for his ac- ton but after Manager Daley had communicated with him, he decided 10 attach himself to the local squad for this coming Sunday and will talk over the remainder of the season when he gets here.
 The New Britain team will prac- tice tonight, tomorrow night and Sunday morning at Memorial Field in Willow Brook park in prepara- ton for it's offensive against Grange $ team next Sunday. Lights are being strung around the stadium in the park so that the eleven will be able to go through it's workouts even after dusk has settled over the city. Coach Dave Hayes has the team working in good shape and New Britain will form tough opposition for the New York Yankees Sunday afternoon.
 The coach In the practice session last night, hammered away at the line and although weak spots showed here and there, these holes will be plugged well enough by Sunday. Donlon, the big tackle from New Haven who started the season with the Hartford Blues, arrived in New Britain yesterday with his uniform and informed Manager Daley that he was here to play football He left Hartford last Sunday and was subsequently, released, His presence in the line will give New Britain additional strength on the defense. This gives New Britain four tackles including Murphy, Politis and Mo Govern.

COMMUNICATED
East Sides 4. C. Football Team Would Like to Play Pawnees of This City.

Dear Sir:
 There has been a lot of talk go- ing around that the Pawnees of New Britain would like to play the East Sides. Why don't the man. agcr of the Pawnees arrange it? The East Sides are very desirous of playing them but the manager of the Pawnees always promises but always finds a way out of playing them. We will play them on their own field or ours for a guarantee or bet, any way they want. The East Sides have played two games so far, playing a scoreless tie with the Bristol Ends and losing, to 0, to All-Middletown.~- Hoping this will result in a game,
 Yours truly.

Seek to Curb Home Run Efforts of Batterng Babe St. Louis Crowd Razzes Pitcher Who Walks Sultan of Swat-Sherdel Favored to TwrF Today's Game -Pennock May Work For Yankees-Walks Proved Costly Yesterday to St. Louis Pitchers.

Playing his seventh world series Ruth is in a position to smash rec ord of the classic on the slightest provocation and he did his full share
 Other incidents out of the ordi- nary cropped out at frequent inter- vals Old timers recalled when Hafey and Douthit collided that a similar mishap befell two St. Louis outhelders in the opening game of the 1888 world series. Meusel be- came dizzy in the midst of the game and had to come in from right field for a drink of water and some vigorous flaming from a trainer.
 Throughout the game Cardinal and Yankee players either over es- timated their speed or under esti- mated the throwing ability of their opponents. They fell by the wayside at the plate. third and second base, trying to score on stretch hits.
 With the series again deadlocked speculation became rampant. Yankee rooters declared that Ruth is the barometer of his teams at tacking power and when he hits home runs his mates may be de- pended upon to at least drive out singles.
 Cardinal supporters countered with the observation that the Ma tional leaguers have two great pitch CTS left, Sherdel and Alexander, and that Ruth has done no home run hitting at the expense of either.
 B. B. Johnson, president of the American league, went on record with the prediction that the Yankees will surely win. They've got to win and they will" said he.
 Men who let their dollars talk for them are willing to wager five to four against the chances of either Yankees or Cards and two and a half to one against either winning the next two games.

paratively small amounts, and at

The mass of European steel is of
low grade and is serious competit-
or of American steel in neutral mar
kets and along the coasts of this
country only. for purposes in which
quality is not primary considera-
ton. This competition has been en-
HANGED by the depreciation of Fur
opean currencies. The cartel cannot
succeed, American experts believe,
without stabilized currencies in the
member countries; and the stabiliza-
ton of those currencies would auto
matically relieve some of the pres
sure of competition on American
steel.
A combination of the German and
French steel industries was forced
by the treaty of Versailles, which
divided the former German steel in
iustry between Germany and France
by separating Lorraine ore from its
complement, Westphalian coal. Sim
mes foresaw the ''steel accord" which
has now been consummated. While
the cartel is closely connected with
the Thoiry project they are not so
indissolubly linked that the failure
of the latter would necessarily Ges-
troy the former.
The primary purpose of the cartel
is to regulate sales and stabilize
prices in the European steel indus
try; and to the extent to which it is
successful in accomplishing those
ends it will contribute to the general
industrial sterilization of Europe,
which it is to the advantage of Am
erica should be brought about at the
earliest possible date.
