BASEBALL IN WATERBUR RY

Former Governor Templcton, who has a heavy interest in the Waterbury baseball club. is report cd as being greatly exercised over the poor support vouchsafed the i club by the baseball fans" of Wa ] terbury. A club that has won two ] championships in fls league. and situated in q city of 100000 popu- lation. draws less at the gate than tho Piusfold team, in city Of S0,- ond population. IT the fans" do not improve their attendance at tho games this year, the ex-governor says. the franchise will he taken 10 another city, as the former gov emor aims to be a baseball mag mate and not a baseball philanthro- pi>t
 There can be no question of the general interest in the Waterbury team in lhat city, but being fac tory city. it is likely that the fol- towers of the team who would like 10 spend some Of their spare time observing Inc athletes perform on the diamond. are busy in the fac tories during tho afternoon Only on Saturdays and Sundays do they got chance 10 show their loyalty 10 the team
 The problem in Waterbury Is the same as that existing in every fac tory town. Men cannot be at work and watching baseball games at the same time. In the large cities and other cities with moro diversified population there are large blocks Of baseball fans" who arr able to gat an afternoon off almost uhen- eyer they desire 10 do so, and there are sufficient other types Of citizens who can Got oft any afternoon by inc time he baseball games start.
 With daylight saving time yield ing an hours extra daylight, one wonders why the baseball teams in factory cities like Waterbury do not begin their games late in tho aft ernoon. say at . or | o'clock, eiv- ing many or those who are freed from work by that time an oppor- nnity 10 attend the games, The ex, pertinent would be well worth try, ing.

An Adventure in Tho Everglades A Bit Of Detective Work Under
 Difficuliies


 By Dr. Walter F.. TraprOck The capture some weeks ago of the notorious Whittcmore and his gang recalls an experience of my own along these lines. The arch crook involved was the famous Egg" Earlap, a safe-hlowor with something 10 blow about. When he got away with two million from the Philadelphia mint tho government thought it was time to call me in.
 Space compels me 10 skip the steps by which I tracod my man as far as Palm Beach, Fla. These, dis guised as a chair-pusher, I kept my spotted Earlap one day in the lobby of the Beach-and-Ten club. Un- fortunately he saw me at the same instant. The chase was on!
 1 kept a small scout-plane in a To- cal garage. In the tonneau were q brace of bloodhounds, bought from a stranded Uncle Toms Cabin" show. Taking the air I circled and picked out my quarry, headed in- land at 80 miles an hour. When Earlap heard the drone of my mo- tor l saw his machine plunge into the brush. l made a ticklish land ing in the narrow roadway, loosed the dogs and went after him.
 The hounds caught the scene i'm mediately. After three strenuous miles we were stopped by a 60-yard bayou that was simply a mass of crocodiles. There was only one thing to do sacrifice the hounds. With regret I urged them in to the mire. Meanwhile I made my way across, leaping from back to back Of the heaving creatures under me!
 A hundred yards further on spied my victim in the top of @ cocoanut palm. Whipping out my revol- yer I began cracking the nuts about him, shouting as l did so, The next nut to be cracked is yours" A quay cring voice trcmbled, Don't shoot, I'll come down."
 It was the beginning Of the end for Egg" Earlap. The government, besides a handsome fee, presented me with a beautiful silver cocoanut that holds just two quarts, not necessarily Of milk.

\ STATE PRINTING PLANT
 FOR CONNECTICUT

The federal government at Wash ington and numerous states have their own printing plants; some large corporations also have their own printing plants. The idea ap- pears to be that where there is a steady flow of printing and on a large scale originating from one source. the government, state or big corporation can most effectual- Iy attend to it's own printing. An clement of costs is likewise in volved.
 The state Of Connecticut has never had it's own printing plant although it pays for the printing of a large number of state reports and can keep a large printing es- iablshment fairly busy the year round. It is not surprising, there fore. that the state board of con- trol has under advisement plan 10 create state printing plant, and has gone so far as to order the state comptroller to investigate the possibilities and probable savings. if any.
 There are two angles 10 the situa- ton. and the adverse angle can be -asily overlooked States -- and the federal government, for that mat fer - which have their own print ing plants do much more printing than states which lack such tacili- lies. In states where printing is done by contracting with private firms the costs may be higher per printed document or book, but this acts as deterrent against unnecos- sary printing. The federal govern mcnt, for instance. prints an enor- nous total Of documents; every de- partment turns them out by the score. and the enormous facilities of the government printer" is continually hard pressed to grind out the material Fully half Of it is of doubtful value and tho other half could be boiled down to the advantage of tho public as well as inc government itself.
 This is how state printing plants work: Technically there may be q saving in sight if the state does not vastly increase its printing out put. Actually they increase the costs by finding SD much additional matter that is deemed worthy Of being churued into type.

THE STANLEY DEAL Bridgeport Telcoram)

The Stanley Works of New Brit ain is one of the largest industrial concerns in Connecticut, and one of the best managed and most sue cessful. However regretful any Bridgeporter may feel at seeing a local institution absorbed by an out of town concern, there is apparent ly no reason for such a feeling in this case. We are assured that the Stanley Works is acquiring the American Tube & Stamping com- pany in this city as source of steel for it's own immense demands and this will mean greater activity and more prosperity for the Bridge port mill.
 There should be a chance to de- velop the rolling mill business in Bridgeport, because of the access sibility to coal and iron by the water route. The American Tube Sa Stamping company Is the only out fit of its kind in the state and should afford a source of steel not only for its new owners but for many other Connecticut industries as we'll

ADVICE TO THE NEW HAVEN
 ON TROLLEY EAul-RE

The New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad ought to thank Governor Fuller Of Massachusetts for turning down the bill authoriz- ing the railroad to acquire the troll ley lines Of Springfield and Wor- cester Instead. however. the rail- road officials in all likelihood will feel inclined 10 berate him severe ly. The action of the Massachu- setts governor is expected to kill the bill in the Bay state legislature authorizing the railroad to take over the trolley lines in the two cities.
 The railroad, having a monopoly between New York and Boston, has great possibilities which are not linked up with the operation of trolley lines. Its experience with such lines should be enough to scare it from appropriating any others. II paid s28,o00,0oO for the Rhode Island trolley lines and sold them for s2S,00o. None Of its other trolley lines has ever made money for the company. Such grandiose schemes cost the stock holders Of the railroad s15o,000,- 000 in unpaid dividends since 1915.
 The New Haven should tend to it's own business and endeayor to run a railroad.
 The Bay state governor, in re- ferring the bill back to the legis- lature, recommends that it be amended so that instead Of requir- ing only the assent of the city councils Of Worcester and Spring
 field. the assent of the city councils and selectmen Of the cities and towns in which the two trolley companies operate trolleys and busses must also he secured. This is neat application Of the scheme instituted by the railroad interests a year ago when the Massachu- setts legislature was induced 10 pass a law requiring bus lines 10 secure separate rights of passage through every city and town along a route before a route could be established. This resulted in some lines being held up merely because the authorities Of one city or town refused permission 10 through line to operate busses through it's streets.
 The Massachusetts governor Is correct in his estimate that the cities Of Springfield and Worcester have no right 10 hand over the trolley lines 10 the railroad without cooperation with other cities and | towns affected. It is a neat impasse | and will and ought to mean the | last of the New Haven's attempt l to gobble up other lines of trans , portation and thus add to its irrespective Of the costs 10 it's stockholders.
