 CLAM EATING CHAMP

Behold George LaBelle bringing leather championship to Killingly The Ballouville man has been crown ad as the champion clam-eater of all Inc thousands who have eaten shore dinners at Rocky Point
 MT. LaBelle went to the Rhode Is- land shore resort on the local car nsnters' union outing. He is husky and blessed with a good appetite. Having slowed away four bowls of ehowder and two dozen clam cakes. some member of the party inquired fl he was not going to eat any clans. "Yes. and plenty" he replied.
 A waiter that overheard the re- mark brought him four pans and cas- u.lly mentioned to him that the rec ord eating at one sitting at Rocky Point was PAS clans.
 Thereupon George set out to make the man who held that record look ike a weakling fiapper. Having dis posed very easily of the four pans of clans, ten more pans were ordered for him. By this time gallery had gathered and George was the object of much attention. He ate steadily on until he had devoured BIO clans, and only stopped then, he says. in order that he might finish his meal with a few ears of corn and slice or two of watermelon. There were no disastrous after effects, and George stands ready to best the clam eating-record just as soon as anyone surpasses it.-Killingly Correspond ent to Norwich Bulletin"

twenty-six, and, if tradition is cor rect. he was descended from Sebas- tan Cabot. the famous explorer. He was greatly beloved by his people and his preaching was of such high order that his first Fast Day and also his Thanksgiving Day sermons were published.
 Mir Cabot's great scholarship did not include a knowledge of practical things if we are to judge by this story that has been told of him. It seems he once had occasion to cut off a limb from a tree. and he proceeded to do 1t by sitting on the limb and saving between himself and the trunk. believe he was successful in removing the limb.
 More than 300 members were ad- ded to the church during Mir. Cabot's ministry. He served faithfully and acceptably for twenty-six years. He was striken with illness in the pulpit, and died April 8, l756. at the age of fifty-two. Who shall say that the secret of his success and the keynote of his character may not be found on the memorial tablet erected in his honor, in the vestibule of this church, for we find these words. Re member those that have rule over you, whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation, Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever"
 All was not smooth sailing for the new church. which was the establish cd church, maintained by the pay ment of rates by the inhabitants of the parish, for We read that various Baptist exhorters appeared and held meetings, with so much success that several persons became converts to the new faith and refused to pay for the support of the church. This caused much controversy and finally an appeal to the County Court with the result that the appeal was grant ed and exemption allowed.
 The Baptist church in the north part of the parish was organized, and the laconie statement in the old spell ling of the time, gone to ye Bap- tists," was written against the names of such members as had left the old church Go cast their fortunes with the new Thus was broken the religious monoply of the new parish.
 Rev. Noadiah Russell was chosen as pastor to succeed Mr Cabot, and he was ordained November g.. i757. He died October 22, l795, at the age of 65, having served as pastor for thirty-eight years
 The original church was 40 by 50 feet and in 1769 we find that it was necessary to enlarge it. After some debate 1t was decided to cut the house through the middle, move one of the parts and insert a i4-foot strip. This was done, and once more showing friendly and initiative spirit, this time for Pomfret, it was voted that, ''the cullering of our meeting house should be l:ka p..a- fret" Tn spite of the increased size of the edifce we read that, "The large meeting house was over filled with hearers. The various rough ways leading to Thompson Hill were thronged on Sunday with multitudes coming up to worship, the older men mostly on horseback, with their wiv- es and daughters on a billion behind them, and troops of young people on foot" That was the picture in 177f.

nNE of the amusing things to come
~ before the meeting, with regard
to the banquet, was the fact that while
this organization is devoted to conserva-
ton of fish and game none of the pro-
posed menus included a fish course.
One of the members expressed himself
very forcibly in favor of fish course
saying, who ever heard of a dinner
given by an angling fraternity without
a fish course. This is surely an over
sight. / want fish" And fish he will
have as it was unanimously decided
to add the fish course. But when an
other member wanted to include whale
meat on the menu, quick vote vetoed
his proposition.
EISH have been used for almost every
i purpose. First of all, as food. be-
cause scientists say that the more fish
one eats the more active become the
brain cells. In other words, eat fish
and grow smart. There there are many
by-productS from fish and fish scales.

report that women may soon be wear

other fish. II experiments made by a
Scottish fishery board are successful.
1t has been shown possible to trans
form such skins into excellent leather
by the application of alum. At pres

the reports continue, but it is hoped
that by using some of the cheaper by
products of seaweed as a substitute for
alum. the process may become cheap
enough to make fishskin leather prac-

We'll, Jack ought to know all about

he is right.
II doubt if the average fan ever has
really understood the situation Dempsey
was in when Firpo hit him on the jaw
with that fearful right-hand punch. 1t
wasn't merely the physical effects of the
blow that might have proved disastrous:
there was psychology to be considered.
Jack was champion and If he had
been an ordinary champion he would
have been upset not alone by the shock
to his pride in being knocked out of the
ring, but by the thought of losing his
title and the millions 1t was worth to
him. 1t would have been entirely ex-
cusable If he had lost his head COM
pletely.
LAS a mater of fact Jack never once
thought about his title and the gold and
glory belonging to 1t. He had only one
idea in the world. He wanted to get
back in the ring and lick Firpo just
then he was fighter with real fight
ing heart-nothing else.
But consider his physical condition.

BUSTING INTO BASE BALL

BY GROVER ALEXANDER.
As told to John F. McCann.

TT was a little Indian base ball player
who started me on my way to
place In major league base ball and
his suggestion came to me as a
startling surprise.
I was pitching for a semi-pro team
out in Nebraska, in 1908, and after
had pitched two victories against
team of Indians, little redskin player
came over to where I was sitting on
the players bench.
why don't you get a job playing
league ball?" he asked me. When l
replied I'd never thought about it nor
had an idea how to get the chance, he
replied at once: III recommend you,"
and short time later I got contract
from the Galesburg team in the Central
Association.
Here happened an incident which
almost meant ruin for me as a player.
In my second game, at the moment
when was running to second base, the
shortstop, in attempting to complete a
double play, hit me between the eyes
with the ball. 1 was unconscious for
So hours. When I awoke it was to find
myself with a double vision. Every
thing I looked at / saw twice and 1t
was far into the next Winter before an
eye specialist in Indianapolis cleared
up the trouble.
MY entry into the majors occurred
two years later with the Phillies and I
lost my initial battle to the Boston
Braves by the score of 2 to l.

the untiring efforts of each and every
member of the organization. He pointed
out that the membership had been
doubled during that period and hoped
the membership would reach a total
of 800 or more in 1880.
Hardly had the words of the president
announcing the nomination of officers
been uttered when one of the members
asked recognition and said he wanted
to nominate man who already had
made record in his chosen profession;
a man he considered born leader and
diplomat, a combination hard to find.
He said he was not in favor of chang
ing horses in midstream and 1T was
with great pleasure that he nominated
DR.. Magee to succeed himself for the
year 1880. This nomination was imme-
diately seconded and the vote was
unanimous. Perry Miller was elected

squarely in the eyes and almost blinded
me-
But Jack said that this wasn't the
worst of it. When he faced Firpo. with
his mind beginning to clear again, he
got a fresh shock.
HE found he couldn't raise his right
arm!
MY opinion is that this was the final
test of his fighting heart. Thinking
| quickly, he managed to get the injured
arm into position which would conceal
| the fact that it was useless. Then he
| lifted his left to a position in front OF
his jaw and dropped his head bit so
that his chin was as. well protected as
was then possible.
THAT was where a good left might
have made Firpo champion. But he
had to lead with his right. Jack said
he managed to stumble inside the
punch. It was like finding a safe har-
Dor after stormy voyage at sea. he

and his arm began to recover. Quickly
