New York, Sept. 19.—Wild Bert Kenny was decidedly tame last night at the Broadway Sporting club after he had been pounded and hammered for ten rounds by Billy Miske. With the exception of the first round, when Kenny brought the blood to Miske's nose with a wild swing, the former was a punching bag, and the only guestion to issue was whether he would be able to last the limit. Kenny was floored by a right to the jaw in the second round and took the count of nine, the bell coming to his . rescue soon after the knockdown. Kenny wag tired and groggy at the end of the fourth and was saved by the bell in the fifth. GOULD IN FIRST QUOTA.

Manager Gillette of the Poli base- ball team of Hartford, is evidently some hurdler. Not the kind that clears the bars at track meets while the applause of the crowd is tumul- tous, but In respect to keeping his word. As a result of his action the scheduled game between the Capitol city team and the Pioneers for the Ellis street diamond next Sunday aft- ernoon will not be played, thereby disappointing the management, and a big crowd of fans who anticipated at- tending the game. Assistant Manager Eggert in a talk with the Herald sporting editor last evoning, told of the action of Gillette and his breaking of the promise to bring his outfit to this city both on last Sunday and again next Sunday. At the time of arranging for the se- ries between the clubs, the managers agreed to play one game in each city and a toss up would be made for the third game if necessary. The locals complied with their agree- ment going to Mast Hartford, Sunday, September 8. It was supposed that the Poli team would come here last Sunday, but the management changed its mind and played the Colonials of New Haven. Manager Luby then, it is claimed, exacted a promise from Gillette to bring his team here next Sunday, but was somewhat surprised to learn that Gillette had agreed to g0 to Meriden and meet the Red- woods. Tt is now decided that the game will take place here Sunday, Septem- ber 29, that is if Mr. Gillette's promise to Manager Luby is to Dbe taken for granted. Arrangements are under way for playing a game between the All-Stars and the Ploneers next Sun- day. OH=1y | GUESS Vi cokeosEl A 1s TuAT S0 lis TuaT S0 ¥ AR-HE “TRAMP-* TRAMP- TRAMP —. NOW_FOR.

BOND DELIVERY - BEGINS SEPT. 26 Distribution of Issue Expected to Take Several Weeks Washington, Sept. 19.—Delivery of Liberty Bonds to subscribers, Secre- tary McAdoo announced last night, will begin Sept. 26, through . the 12 Federal Reserve Banks. Considering the probable retention by many sub- scribers of interim certificates, al- ready issued, officials estimate that the work of distribution will require several weeks. The huge issue is larger in the number of bonds required than first reports, based on more than 4,000,000 individual subscriptions, indicated. The number of coupon bonds, Sec- reary McAdoo announced last night, is estimated by Federal Reserve Banks as in excess of 8,700,000 pieces of which more than 7,000,000 are of the $50 and $100 denominations. May Hold Certificates. Mr. McAdoo repeated his sugges- tion that holders of interim certifi- cates would find it to their advantage in many instances to hold the cer- tificates, instead of exchanging them for bonds, until congress disposes of the bill authorizing 4 per cent, in- terest on the next offering. “It is apparent,” he says, “that if pending legislation should be enacted and bonds should be issued bearing Interest at a higher rate than 3% per cent. per annum and exempt from the normal income tax, in view of the resulting privilege of conver- sation, the demand for definitive 8% per cent. Liberty bonds, particularly those of the small denominations, would be greatly reduced. “Accordingly, deliveries of defini- tive bonds to subscribers to the first NQ,—-NOT To 'ENuIST— BUT o '@ET GooD SEATS.

(New York Trihuned: issues of the Liberty ILoan will begin on Wednesday, Sept. 26. These de- liveries will be made by Federal Re- serve Banks upon surrender to a Fed- eral Reserve Bank of full paid in- terim certificates issued over the name of that particular Federal Re- serve Bank. Distribution of definitive bonds will proceed as nearly as may be in the order of the surrender of the interim certificates to the Federal Reserve Banks for exchange. “Each Federal Reserve bank will announce from time to time the num- ber of bonds which it is prepared to deliver each day and may limit .the hours of the day during which interim certificates will be received over the counter for exchange for bonds, and the hours of the day during which deliveries of definitive bonds will be made, and may exclude Saturdays as well as holidays during the period of pressure. “Wherever subscribers have availed themselves of the assistance of their own banks or trust companies in making subscriptions for Liberty Bonds, they may property again avail themselves of this assistance in pro- | curing the exchange of interim cer- tificates for definite bonds, and sub- scribers should look to the banks or trust companies which handled their subscriptions to secure for them the definite bonds in cases where interim certificates have not been delivered to them by such banks or trust com- panies.” “It is apparent also that much of the demand for bonds of small de- nominations comes through employ- ers and others who have subscribed for bonds for their employes and customers under arrangements ui- lowing the latter to make payment in installments over an extended per- fod, and therefore, the immediate de- livery and definitive bonds is not re- quired.” Employes, banks, trust companies and others are urged to aid in re- lieving the government and subscrib- ers of the trouble and expense of the delivery of bonds in small denomina- tions by accepting and procuring the acceptance in the first instance bonds of the largest denominations possible, and of registered bonds ra- ther than coupon bonds, and by re- taining or procuring the retention of of the full-paid interim certific: until congress shall have acted on the bond bill and the rate of inter- est, etc., to be: borne by any new bonds shall have been determined. “Until June 15, 1918, or such later date as may be fixed, the secretary of the treasury,” the statement con- tinues, “no charge will be made for the issue of bonds of smaller denom- ; ot | inations in exchange for bonds larger denominations, nor for the is- sue of coupon bonds in exchange for registered bonds, all such charges being walved for the period indicated, as an encouragement to the accept- ance of bonds of larger denomina- tlons, and of registered bonds, in the first instance. No charge will be made for the transfer of registered bonds. Hudson Motor Cars Williams Auto Co. Service Station 287 Eim 5t Offce and Show Room 1 and 3 Main St. of . tes | ! CITY LEAGUE BOWLING Aetna Alleys Resound With the Merry Clash of Pins and Balls, When | 1 Leaguc Opens. i in They're off the City Bowling . league, the first games being contest- fed last evening at the Aetna alleys. There was a good sized crowd on hand to witness the games and enthusiasm both with the players and spectators { was at all times evident. The Colon- ials and Annex staged a battle royal. The Annex got away to a fiving start | winning the first game and the Col- onials came right back and captured !the second. The third game was a i “pip”, the teams tying with 476, and on the roll-off the Colonials were the victors. “Bill” Brennecke’s Wanderers struck a tartar in the Warriors, losing three straight games.

Brenneke SOLDIERS’ WEEKLY PAPER Washington, Sept. 19.—Plans for publication of a soldiers’ weekly news- paper in every national army and na- tional guard camp beginning with the week of September 30, under the aus- pices of the national war council of the Y. M. C. A. were announced here today. Among contributors will be Col. Roosevelt and many of the best known newspaper workers and car- toonists. President Wilson has en- dorsed the plan. The general man- agement of the paper will be under the personal direction of John 8. Bryan, a Richmond publisher, and co- operating publishers will compose an advisory board. The plans grew out of a conference here last July at which Mr. Bryan was assigned by the war work council to visit all camps in the south before going to LEurcpe. WHITE SOX GAIN IN PENNANT CHASE Jackson's Homer Starts Rally in| Eighth Inning Philadelphia, Sept. 19.—Chicago gained half a game in the fight for the American League pennant by de- feating Philadelphia yesterday 6 to 1y while Boston was idle. Bush and Fa- ber had a battle until two men were out in the eighth inning. Then Jack- son put the ball over the right field wall for a home run. Felsch tripied and three singles were mixed up with two errors by Witt, producing four runs, Chicago Philadelphia Faber and son and Meyer. Smith Has Shawke, No. Yankee fans are beginning to think | it is about time Elmer Smith stopped picking on Bob Shawkey. The Cleve- land outfielder is the Yankee twirler's particular Nemesis and seems forcver camping on Bob's trail. Twice season Smith beat Shuawkey with a man-sized homer injected at the psychological moment and once this season Elmer laid Bob low with a four base blow. Elmer didn’t make any homer off Bob up on the PFolo Grounds yesterday, but he landed on his favorite twirl for a single which resulted in the Indians beating the Yankees by 6 to 4. ‘The score: Cleveland 000020030—5 7 4 New York .. 100100200—4 8 4 Klepfer, Morton, Bagby and Billings and Evans; Shawkey, Shocker and Nunamaker. 002000040—6 10 1 0010000001 10 2 halk; Dush.

BAKER MAY QUIT | Suspended Yankee Third Baseman Claims Action of Club Owners is Unjustified—Excused From Playing. New York, Sept. 19.—If Col. Jacob Ruppert does not reinstate IFrank Ba- Ier within the next few days the Yan- kee third baseman will announce his retirement from baseball. Baker is- sved that ultimatum yesterday. He was decidedly peeved over his suspen- sion and added that he had been j treated unfairly by the New York club. Baker declared that the club broke ts agreement with him, inas- much as he had been promised that he would not have to play in exhi- bition games. It was for his failure to report for a game in Bridgeport that Baker was suspended. “I did not violate an agreement with the club,” said Baker vesterday, “but the club broke an agreement with me. In the winter of 1916, when I agreed to play for the Yankees, T exacted a promise from President Ruppert that I need not p in e hibition games, and to this President Ruppert consented. My only mistake is that I did not have this agreement put into writing, but I did not think it was necessary. “I asked Donovan as early as last Wednesday. for permission to go home over Sunday, and he said it would be all right. “My future in baseball will depend entirely on the action of the club within the next few days. It is im- material to me whether I ever play again or not. If I quit now, however, I shall not be back. There only one reason why I should not care to quit baseball at this time-—I do not want to quit the game under a cloud. “During 1y entire baseball career I have prided myself on my conduct as a player. I do not think either Connle Mack or Donovan could call | me a trouble maker. This is the first time I have been in any trouble, or disciplined, since playing baseball, and the trouble was not of my making.” EMBARGO ON PRINT PAPER.

It was an afternoon when some world records were broken. The Real Lady, making her first start of the season, duc to illness, was on edge, and she trotted the fastest two-heat race ever trotted by a three-year-old and besides took a new world record for a three-year-old trotting filly when she went the second mile in 2:04 1-4. Volga held the former rec- rd of 2:04 1-2. Early Dreams, in the Hoster-Co- lumbus Stake, for 2:14 trotters; took the big end of the $10,000 purse, | \wice surpassing former records for | the event. His miles, with 2:04 1-4, lowered the stake mark of 205 1-4, held by Sonoma Girl since 1907. In the 2:07 pace, after the second heat Driver Mann was removed from behind Barlght and Driver Frost from behind Colleen. Messrs. Fleming and ' Jamison, respectively, replaced them. The change appeared justified in part when Barlight won the next two heats. In the final mile, however, he was not able to stave off Peter G., winner of the first two heats, and the race went to the Snow pacer. p The Savoy captured the deciding heats yesterday of the unfinished King Stake. This pacer covered the last half of the race-winning mile in 59 3-4 scconds. The crowd was a big one. Mabel Trask and St. Frisco meet in their free-for-all trotting duel today.
