If the Stanley Works baseball team comes through tonight to de- feat Landers in the Industrial league game, scheduled It Walnut Hill park. the race is over and nothing Is left but the shouting. If the Stanley Works team loses, there is . chance that the league may still result in a tie.
 The Stanley Works baseball team sta nds on the threshold of fame Tor years in all classes of sport. teams representing the Stanley Works have been just on tke verge os winning championships but never yet have had coms through.
 History will be made if the base l ball team takes the championship in the Industrial league. It will be the first championship team developed at the Stanley Works plant. All the more credit must go to the team be- cause of the fact that it has won a championship in league that has been faster and better this year than in many recent years.
 To us who once was among those who tried hard to put the Stanley Works in winning position in the Industrial league. the work of the team this year is real gratification We have remained neutral publicly but privately we have been cheer ing the Buttmakers on. We hope they win tonight
 The Burritt baseball team will practice tonight at o'clock at the Washington school diamond All members are asked to be present.
 Sunday will mark the opening of another baseball diamond in the city. the Washington school dia- mond. The park force of workmen under the direction of Park Super intendent Clyde Ellingwood, have been busy in making this diamond and real work of baseball art has been accomplished. The Burritts and East Glastonbury team will dedicate it Sunday
 Superintendent Ellinewood would like nothing better than to have the public of this city take an active in- terest in the work being done by his department. Since the change in sentiment and outlook in the local park department wherein the parks are now regarded as recreation grounds for the public, great work has been carried on. New Britain stands second to none in the state in parks and recreatonal facilities
 There Is a shortage of baseball diamonds and this condition has ex- isted for years. With the Washing ton diamond finished and another being made at the North End park this condition gill be minimzed We say keep it up There nevel can be too many baseball diamonds in New Britain.
 Henry Macklin, sailor, who wa found slain on a deserted beacl near Alexandria, Va. formerly wa catcher in the Eastern league. H i was a member of the New Havel club last year. Near the end of tn season he deserted baseball for tn heavyweight division in boxing an in his first fight he was kayoed il the first round. He enlisted in tn H navy on July IA. He disappeare I on July 16 and his body was foun on July 21.

Quebec Troubled

Quebec Troubled
 Quebec, Aug. 10 UP)-Quebec city like Montreal is troubled with a housing problem. The city's chief hotel. Chateau Frontenac. shelters about 1900 nightly in its 500 rooms at $11 to $2O night for doubles. and sends about 500 others to small CT hotels not generally known to tourists and to rooming houses.
 Here. as in Montreal, one can plead with a room clerk until one is blue in the face, and all one gets is an offer to help find room in a rooming house or small inn.
 Reservations are made weeks in advance. and a telegram a day ahead of arrival is money wasted.

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson & McKinnon)

NEW YORK, Oct. lin a Wash
ington news bureau letter there ap-
pears a paragraph on the subject OF
money and the stock market. In
substance it is that money will be
high the remainder of the year, that
the Federal Reserve does not con-
template anything to make it
easier, that the stock market is
headed for liquidation. Here is
cold, unsympathetic-I might even
say cruel-statement and there is
nothing that any of us can do or
say that will help the matter in
the least because nine people out OF
ten know and admit that the stock
market reached a position where
! the opposition of the reserve bank
was inevitable. OF course, we can
go back little and find fault with
the policies that prevailed and
which were responsible to large eX-
tent for the creation of this situa-
ton, but finding fault doesn't help
us any. From today, and for a
period of six or seven weeks, we
usually have the biggest demand
for commercial money, so every
man that has commitment in the
stock market would do well to do
IA little calculating and see to it
THAT the line is not so big as to give
him any discomfort.
