BY THE OUT EAsTER

The death OF David A. McCar-
thy Of As Chestnut avenue grieves
us, as 1t does his own good peo-
pie. and the many who knew him.
We ourselves had known him
from 'boyhood, from the days In
which both Of us thought we were
really Of big league baseball cali
bre, that would some day find
us In the same company as Our
famous idol Of the day, our own
great and beloved Roger Conner
Of the historic New York Giants
Of the middle Nineties. There
wasn't a boy Of the time Of old
Out East and the Abrigador who
didn't carry Rogers likeness In
his little shirt pocket, so much
did they admire the man who rep
resented old Waterbury on the
playing field Of the great national
game Of years ago.
Dave Mccarthy, In his young
days, attended ST. MaIy's pa
roachial school. He played ball
with the school team In the days
In which Jimmy Phair was one
Of the star pitchers Of the am
ateur teams OF the city. Our
memory Is he was either at short
stop or third base; at any rate
no matter, where he was Dave
was able to scoop them up, and
shoot the ball to first base In Jig
fashion. Quick as o flash and
most active on the diamond, he
was one Of the mainstays Of that
memorable team which made such
O record for itself In those days.
We, Out East, battled them at
various times, the games being
played on the school lots with
great lot Of people looking on from
all parts Of the field, and also
from East Main street. We were
not a gentle lot, and we seemed
well able to battle our way,
whether the game developed into
q free for all or not. And many
a free for all 1t was. They had
some heavier fellows than we had,
but none more ready for fight
than we were. But once the
game was over, general good feel
Ing prevailed, and our friendship
with Dave Mccarthy from that
time up to his death was most
sincere and lasting. He was the
kind that made friends, o. ready
smile at all times, and gracious
greeting. He loved to talk over
old days with us to reenact some
Of the happenings In which both
Of us took part back years ago,
and to recall some Of the scores
and the hits that each OF us
made upon q particular occasion.
We felt sad and sorry when
we learned Of the manner In
which he was stricken q few years
back. It didn't seem just fair
that he should be so attacked
But try as he did, with the best
medical skill Of the day. he
never seemed to improve, al
though able to be about, and to

to threaten to close In on the rear

MARKSMANSHIP
BASED ON SECRET DATA
That advantage Finland owes not
to American guns alone (actually,
most of her coast defense artillery
Is French), but to her own we'll

It's basis Is careful study for
20 years Of every minute variation
Of temperature, wind and sea cur.

Of the coast defense guns and their
exact effect upon what artilerists
call logistics - which means, sub
stantially, firing conditions. To this
Is added, on land, microscope sur
vey Of the field Of fire allotted to
every gun.
OF all this, Photographic maps
are made, and to them are added
firing data computed for all Fin
lands many sorts Of weather.
The system was devised by one
Of the worlds best-known gunners,
q quiet little man with q short
white mustache, a square chin and
q quizzical smile from bright eyes.
He Is Lieutenant General Villa
Nenonen, Chief Of the Finnish ar
tillery, who has just reached WASH
ington with q mission that Is seek
ing to obtain more weapons for his
embattled country.
Especially ammunition" said the
General. We waste no shells, no
cartridges. We need them even more
than we need guns and airplanes,
although we need those, too. The
need Is serious already and will be-
come more so any day that the
Russian bombers really get heir eye
on our munitions factories at Tam
pere and Helsinki, which they have
just been bombing"
"Bombing-but not hitting" in
terjected Wilhelm Wahlforss, Fin
lands forceful leader In the metals
industry. "See this cablegraml It
says our factories in East Karelia,
Helsinki and Abo have been bomb
ed, but no material damage done
though the friends Of the prole-
teriat did kill some Of our good
workmen. Their aim can't be very
good-but we have to count on Its
improving"

To turn Russian weapons on
Russian invading masses Is the
interesting purpose that brings
General Nenonen and the mission
TO this country. For American fac

with which In the World War they
made cannon, rifles and arnnauni-

Since some of that same mater

factories to resume turning 1t out
They are less burdened than are
British and French, even Swedish
and Norwegian factories. But
through Sweden and Norway can
come supplies for Finland. OF that

before coming here. For Finland
