M’CORMICK HITS BALL PLAYERS Ex-Giant Says Soldiers Overseas Are “Sore” at “Pros” It may surprise the professional ball players of the United States to know that the American soldiers now | fighting in France do not hold them in high esteem; that they do | scramble for news of how the league races are gonig, and hat they | do not care whether Cobb and Speaker {anad | The | hittin | water is the reason er are hitting .300 or 3,000. for this feeling, | according to Lieut.

He says he | has twelve pounds since leav- ing the front line trenches. | “Ths feeling among the boys over there seems generally to be that the |ball players haven't acted on the |level,” said the lieutenant. “The diers feel that there ha been too ‘much evhsion, too much hangnig back, too 'much side-stepping by the ‘huu players when other men, just as good, have given up paying places and | gone into the big game. That seems to them the ONLY thing for real men | just now. “The boys are generally over the tements they effect that ball players have sought work in munition plants and ship- yards, where they can still playing ball. They regard that as | ducking, a sort of dodging of the issue. “Why, the feeling is so intense over there that the Star 1d Stripes soldiers’ paper, has »pped printing the big league scores and standing: That, it seems to me, ought to make the baseball men, both players and owners, wake up. { “The talk of the soldiers ball players should read to the is that the | organization and gone into the coun- try’s service to fight right at the start.

Child | brated their golden wedding ann PLAINVILLE NEWS STATE GUARD WILL CURB GELEBRATION Six Sworn in as Special Deputies to Preyent Vandalism CITIZENS GbMM OF NOISE | Miss Waterman, Welfare Nurse, Ewald, Selander, Perise and Holland the Smashed. Overseas—George Graham in Trenches—Freight Cars Bix Company I, deputies at Johnson. B. S. Gwillim, chalrman of the war bureau, was asked to co-operate in this way with the wuthorities, so that there would be some adequate protec- tlon at hand in eass any local patriotic celebration broke out of bounds, and depredations agalnst broperty were at- tempted. During recent celebrations an old barn has been set on flre twico, the fire whistle has blown without nuthority, calling aut the State Guards~ and church bells rung without permission. It is because of this sort of over enthusiasm and the desire for protec- tion on the part of the citizens against future and perhaps greater acts of lawlessness that these deputles were appointed. In case it Is the wish of local pa- triotic enthusiasts to have a celebra- tion on the roceipt of good war news, Chairman Gwillim shoud be asked for authority to ring church bells. He has been appointed as the one ta de- cide as to the advisabity for local cele- brations. These six deputies from the State Guard are merely to act as protection against lawlessness in case thpre seems to be any need for such protec- tlon. In larger centers there is a po- lice forco on hand to take care of any such trouble, and Plainville was in need of something of this kind.- In cage of good war news the loeal authorities have no objections to pa- triotic enthusiasm, but they do object to acts of lawlessness as have oc- curred. Many citizens object to tin horns, drum corps, fire crackers, whis velling and ringing of church bells at 3 a. m. It is for this reason that Captain Trumbull at the request of Selectman Johnson and Mr. Gwillim chairman, called for volunteers from the State Guard to act as deputies. In case any good news is received, there will be no abjections to ringing of church bells for 15 minutes or so to let the townspeople know that there is good news. Canning Demonstration. The canning club composed of Tiainville girls held a sectional coun- ty conference at the Masonic Temple vesterday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. Miss Bolan, the state leader for girls’ club work, conducted a canning demonstration for the benefit of the local girls. Miss Robinson, teacher of home economics at the Meriden High school, was present. She is to take the place of Mrs. Dean, who has so successtully conducted the county canning demonstrations up to the present time. Mr. Brundage, the county leader for boys’ club work, was also present, The object of the con- ference was to show the local leaders how to work at public demonstra- tions, such as county falrs. The canning survey has reached 89,000 quarts of fruits and vegetables, which is many times what the quota calls for. The canning classes are being conducted as usual by Miss Scoville, but there are only a few weeks left, as Miss Scoville must re- turn to her school. Girls who wish to learn to can fruits and vegetables are advised to join the class Im- mediately Child Welfare Nurse. Earlier in the summer the com- mittee for Child Welfare work sent out letters to the manufacturers and all the organizations in town asking them to contribute for the expens: of this work. The response was un- usually good and the committee was gratified with the wresults obtained, nd-Wwishes to thank the donors. Miss Waterman has been engaged as the Child Welfare nurse and will be ready for work at anytime and anyone can talk with her by telephone at 27 Mrs. William Eaton of West Main reet, secretary and treasurer of the Welfare committee, may be consulted by anyone interested. Freight Cars Smashed. Early this morning a south bound freight train backed into an open switch and crashed Into a standing freight train on a siding about 50 vards south of the Broad street rail- road crossing, near the Clark & Cowles factory. Two of the cars were smashed to kindling wood and 1l more were derailed. None was injured. Golden Wedding Celebration.
