Stock Ownership Scheme of Bosses to Keep Workers Ensaved

about three per cent of the workers,
clerks, and minor executives in the
United States own stock under this
'welfare" scheme. Stock, as a rule,
lis sold to employees on the installment
plan. The leading non-union corpora
tons are involved in these schemes.
They carry on extensive propaganda
to show that capitalism in the United
States gives every worker an oppor-
tunity to become capitalist.

 One of Best in New Jersey

Adviccs from Bayonne, N.

The visitors are rated as among the championship teams of New Jcr- sey and they have already played q total of eight games.
 The team has played combina- tions such as the Renaissance Five of Harlem, N. Y., Yonkers K. of C.. Patterson and the Newark, Y. NJ. H. A. Last Sunday, in a very close game, the Bears defeated the Yon- kers team 29 to 27. They have played on an even basis with the best teams in and about New York and they will be at their best here Saturday night.
 The lineup includes the best possi- ble men in New Jersey. Gillinant ard Lovac are the forwards. Kelley plays center while Schiffer. Hecker and Adams are the guards. This quintet has been together for several St asons and will be one of the early season features in this city.
 New Britain will present the same lineup that started last Saturday night. Sloman and McElwain will play at forward, Zakzewslli will be in at center with Sheehan and Leary at the guards. This combination will be speeded up this week over its play of last Saturday night and . real mid-season battle is predicted.
 The prexminary game will ba played between the New Britain girls and the 1nsilco girls of Meriden The 1nsilcos have been entered in the state league at various times and are considered among the best of the girls teams in this section.

Landino is quarterback, Zalcski and Grip are halfbacks, and Sowka is fullback. Middleton was used at right tackle yesterday afternoon. but Coach Cassidy is satisfied with his tackles 50 1t is his plan to use Middleton in kuhs' left guard posi- tion unless something radical is done in practice this afternoon. Another move. one which is popular, is the shifting of Joe Potts back to right guard where he played in the first three games of the season. He will take Dumin's place.
 The guard positions have been Coach Cassidy's nemesis the greater part of the season and especially in the last week. In Middleton the coach will have a player who is ex- perienced in the line as we'll as in the backheld. Middleton played part of the time on the line at suffield Pre- paratory school. He is the second heaviest man on the team and will play next to the heaviest. "Penoke" Ludwinowicx, left tackle. Joe Potts is one of the smartest linemen on the squad. In his last game against Adams High school he intercepted . forward pass and ran for touch- down.
 Coach Cassidy intends to use every one of his available backf1eld men in the scrimmage this afternoon. It is probable that they will all be used in Grips position at left halfback. Among those who will be given 8 last chance to make the backfield are Al Middleton. Billy Ross. Henry kraszewski and H. Carlson.
 The team had practically the en- tire afternoon for practice yester- day, the boys being let out early.
 Apparently Bill Kuhs will not be able to play Saturday. His ankle Is twice it's normal size and Dr. Zwick is afraid it may be broken. An X-ray fs to be taken today. Quarterback Dobkin of the Hartford team will be be ready to start the New Britain game and it is cert in that Cunning ham: end. will also play.
 Both teams will be ready to give everything they have because it will mean the winning of the Triangular title. It will also mean as good a claim on the state title as any other team in the state. If Hartford wins

Facing weight handicap of at the Pawnee football team will rely on it's speed Sunday in the semi-pro championship game with the New Britain Blues, The contest will be staged at Memorial Field in Willow Brook park at 2;So o'clock.
 The Pawnees will also rely to a great extent on the kicking ability of F. Quart. the peer of Pawnee punters. Last Sunday in the game against AllBurnside. Quarti aver aged 50 yards and better on every kick. It was his boots that kept the Pawnees goal line out of danger.
 In the line especially is where the Pawnees are outweighed. Despite this, the PaWnees are supremely confident that they will be able to withstand the charges of the Blues because of the success met by the team in it's games this year against the same odds.
 Both the Pawnees and the Blues have met and defeated some of the best semi-pro teams in the state. Last Sunday the Pawnees won while the Blues lost. The Blues were de- feated more through poor field judgment than through inefficiency on the team. Both teams have been put through some stiff prac- tice sessions and both will be al their best by game time.
 Coaches Turner and Gianotta of the Pawnees both report that they will have a snappy team with a sur prise attack on the field Sunday and the Blues will have to step to win.

What the team lacks most is experience and time will supply this important ele- ment So before many games are over the quintet is expected to have the needed ability to stand up under fire and battle as we'll when things are going wrong as when all is well.
 The team went all right Monday until 1t lost Grusha and Goffa on fouls. The former has a tendency to hook dribbling men and was fre- quently disqualified last year, so it is up to him to check himself.

.zEHRER SCOUTING FOR NEW PLAYERS
Manager Of Nutmees to Add Strength for Hartford Game

Several new players will be seen in the Nutmeg A. C. football team | lineup Sunday in the third game of the series with the Hartford Giants to be played at the East Hartford Nelodrome. Manager Henry Zehrer left for New York yesterday scouting for backtield men and for line re- serve material. He was unable to announce just who he expected to land but left assurances that the new players would all compare equally we'll with Grip, Graham or any other man on the Hartford team.
 Hartford is working hard for the coming game. In practice sessions, several new plays have been worked out and these will be used against New Britain Sunday afternoon. The team met with great success in the attempts at triple passes and a number of Notre Dame plays and several more of these are being worked up for use against the Hard- ware City outfit.
 The New Britain team is scheduled 10 practice tonight. All members of the squad will be on hand for the workout and signals and plays will be perfected. New Britain, it is re- ported. has several plays of it's own which it will spring on the Hartford crew in the game Sunday.
 One criticism voiced by the fans over last Sundays defeat was the failure of the New Britain backtield to use the aerial attack more. In the first game, New Britain scored two touchdowns on forward passes. but last Sunday only a few of these were attempted.
 Both teams will have their strong est lineups in the field when game time comes The managers have agreed OH the use of Jacques as referee and Manager Zchrer will at tempt to sign him today.
 The game Sunday will start promptly at o'clock.
