LEARNING TO TWIST 'EM. King George Practices for July Fourth Ball Game in London. London,. July King learning to throw a baseball in prep- aration for his appearance at ths zame between American teams on July 4, when he will pitch the first ball. At the request of the Kking, Latham, former major league will umpire the Fourth of Ju sent the king a regulation basebail. The next day Latham called at the palace and gave the king a lesson on how a baseball should be handled. The proper form in pitching was rather hard for the king, as he is used to the cricket type of throw, but the royal student finally began to get | the right swing. He has since prac- ticed in his spare moments on a blank wall in the garden. George is Arlie who game, STAMP PLEDGE!

I recelved your letter and was glad to hear from you but w rather sorry to read that you had sold the old place, because since it was our home for so long it will seem strange to return to some other place than 515 Main street. I don't even know how to address your letter as I don’t know if you have moved or not. The Battle of Seicheprey. “You wor absolutely too much about me. When my name appeared on the casualty list I know you must have had a shock, but my name was among the slighly wounded and it only took a short time for me to be on my feet again. As for the regi- ment—the men at Bunker Hill didn't put up any better or a more fierce scrap than our boys over here. Two companies of little more than 400 men stood up against over 1,400 big Prus- sians, the ‘traveling circus,’ and they sure put said ‘traveling circus’ on the bum. The fight started at exactly 2:45 on Saturday morning and then there were some fireworks. Fritz gave us everything he had—gas and plenty of it; shrapnel, high explosive and everything else to try and scare us off, but nothing doing! The boys in the front line gave slam for slam. Fritz was all drunk with some kind of drink worse than ‘nigger gin' and he brought all sorts of playthings with him—harml looking little boxes and other devices which exploded the z’ninu!g they were touched, and he was ctazy. “Some of the boys they (Fritz) were beating on tin pans and yelling, imitating the 101 Ranch Wild West but when the scrap came off they didn’t feel much like anything except running to beat the band. Well, they came so quickly that one part of .our lines fell back to the town of Seiche- prey, hut that was all. The rest of it held like a stone wall. The Ger- mans rushed into Seicheprey thinking they had gained something, but there they met those who had fallen back from the front line, and after 15 or 20 minutes our boys started to charge and hefore that bunch of Yanks, Fritz fled. He jumped into our front line and was pretty strong there. They couldn’t hold Seicheprey, so our bunch decided the best place for Fritz was where he came from. So ‘over the top’ went the 102d again and T guess Fritz didn't run. But that wasn’t all for on the way back they landed on the most unmerciful bar- rage you could ever see. It landed right on their heads. How many of them ever got back is more than I know, but we buried 160 of their dead and there were many more who were buried by another outfit, The Ger- mans claimed that the Americans were practically wiped out, but they are fast becoming professionals in the art of throwing the camouflage and if you could only see the 102d just it is today I guess you'd say they could stand a few more scraps like the Seicheprey affair. That stuff about the N. B. boys having their legs and arms shot off and their eyes out is some more camouflage. There isn’t one in our company but who could hop a dinky from N. B. to Hartford with the grace of Annette Kellerman. “By the way, T had quite a treat the other night. Took an automobile ride with Lieut. Lovett to hear Elsie Janis, the vaudeville star. She sang and danced and told jokes and before she stopped she had many ot us home- ck for the bright lights of Lafayette street or some such place.” MARRIED 15 YEARS. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Buckley of Stanley Strect Receive Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Buckley of 535 Stanley street were assisted in the celebration of their 15th wedding anniversary Monday evening when a large number of their friends ten- dered them an anniversary surpris party. Guests were present from Hartford, New Haven, Bristol and this city. During the evening Mr Bdward X. Callahan favored with vo- cal selections as did Mrs. Philip Brat- ton.

Mercantile Bureau Directors pected to Decide Today. Ex- The mercantile directors of the New Britain Chamber of Commerce are holding a mesting this afternoon at 4 o'clock for the purpose of dis- cussing the advisability of closing stores in the city on Monday evening. Because of the diversified interest dls- played in the matter by merchants in general, it is very probable that a lively discussion will ensue. This movement has been agitated for some time and, according to reports, it is likely to meet with approval. One of the main objects of Monday night closings is to conserve man power. The Chamber of Commerce is also making an effort to place New Britain in line with ail other leading cities in the state. In Hartford, Waterbury, New Haven, and several other places, the® merchants adopted this plan long ago, keeping their places of business open on Saturday nights only. Through some unaccountable error, a number of merchants and store clerks have received the impression that closing thelr stores on Monday evenings would do away with the Wednesday half-hollday. This is not so. Wednesday half-holidays, as stat- ed by the secretary of the Chamber of Comme his morning, will go in- to effect on Wednesday, July 10. Be- cause this wrong idea was spread broadcast, many were inclined to look upon the Monday night closing with disfavor. TANK CONTEST CONTINUED. 1t was impossible to complete the 1,000 point swimming contest at the Y. W. C. A. last evening, owing to the fact that some of the contestants were unable to be present. The event will take place tomorrow evening at 7 o’clock without fail, and any of the women eligible who fail to put in an appearance will lose their opportun- ity to compstc for one of the hand- some medals to be awarded the win- ners. This will be a tie contest be- tween those who have attained an average of 1,000 points in the con- test which has been running for the past two weeks, seven young women | cines did HOW THIS LITTLE BOY Recovered Strength After Sickness.
