The record crowd of 2.000 in attendance held an unusually large delegation of Putnam rooters who gave noisy evidence of their presence through out the game.
 Too much credit cannot go to Lefty" Harrell, who not only held the opposition to three scattered hits besides collecting eleven strikeouts but also secured three hits from five trips to the rubber. Carey and Brus- seau played their usually fine game registering two hits apiece. Bennett covered first with his old time skill and Bardier speeded up the inield with his "head up" game but worked splendidly as receiving mate to liar reH. Caffrey proved quite as yalu- able in the field as on the slab and was credited with two stolen bases and two Of Putnam's hits.
 Wade River
 Miseh, the first Grosvenordale twirler. had an unfortunate day in deed. After having been relieved by Coderre for box work in the second he was placed in right field where he followed the example of Murphy. the B-H fielder. in wading in the Quine- baug for q fly ball. Coderre proved his worth as relief pitcher but WIS accorded poor support by his team mates throuphout the remainder of fhe game. Paul Johnson lifted one of Harrelis fast deliveries in the ninth and scored an easy home when the ball was lost in the grass in deep center. Ravenelle played a perfect game in the field and secured one of Grosvenerdaie's scaut hits when he hatted the first pitched ball into the river for a double. A. Johnson eov- cred first like veteran and Elan ehette did we'll behind the plate pre- venting many throws that threatened tn he wild pitches from passing.
 Umpire Coreoran was 'razzed' ir spots by the fans but ran the game throughout. allowing no childish areu- ments that have appeared in other games in the series.

gained at headquarters Of the Amer

stlugcle between the chief executive
on the one hand and the elected leg

on the other, labor's weight IS thrown
to the support Of the minority views
expressed by Brandeis, Holmes and
McReynolds. It does not want the
powers Of the people gathered into
the hands of one man.
This Taft decision cannot be d.
vorced from the political policies of
reaction for which Taft and his fellow
Judges have stood, nor from the tory
sentiment Of the Republican Organiza-

congress of the Cooperative League
of America meeting in Minneapolis
voted unanimously that the co-opera-
tive movement must be definite part

further declared that it must coop

The radicals had wanted a still
more outspoken declaration, while the
conservatives wanted the movement
to remain neutral, leaving partici-
patton in the worling-class activity
to the individual members.
The forward note was sharply
sounded by George Halonen Of the

declared, "The aim of our movement
is to replace capitalism by the CO.

is highly centralized and uses the
state for its own purposes. In Great

Reindeer Industry in Alaska
Is Being Rapidly Developed

The reindeer industry in Alaska is
making a rapid growth. While the
livestock interests in the U mite d
States will have no cause to fear any
serious competition for a long time
to come, the fact remains that though
still in its infancy the grazing of
reindeer on the wild lands of the
North is developing into economic inn
portance.
The Biological Survey in the De-
partment of Agriculture reports that
1850 reindeer have been killed for
food and clothing, and that in the pc
Rod from 1918 to 1926, more than l.
$4,000 pounds of reindeer meat were
shipped from Alaska to our Pacific
ports Approximately $4,000 pounds
were shipped 1925. From the origin
al stock of 1890 animals imported
from Siberia over a period of 10 years
up to 1902, the reindeer in Alaska
have now increased to 100000 animals
| Distributed in 10 herds.
