The game started as a duel between the two left-handers. Mooney of Nor- wich and Thomas of illimantic, but Thomas early showed wildness and gave up the struggle after he had passed one in the second inning, and three Norwich batters had peeled off singles. Manley succeeded him, but was an_easy proposition in when the home team got their bats to swinging again, driving in four runs on a pass, four singles, and a sacrifice on which the squeeze was worked. A flielding feature that put a rosy tint on the afternocon’s festivities was pulled off ®by Centerfielder Monahan in the fifth when he choked off 2 Wil- limantic rally by racing way back, grabbing the ball over his shoulder, then hurling it to Rhylander, who sent it to Duff to complete the play that doubled Campion and Manley. Timely hitting by Norwich made the best dfternoon of bat work they have had in two weeks. Friel was on deck with a perfect average a pass and three singles in four times. Chap- delaine was the first to produce a time- 1y hit, oringing in Friel in the sec- ond. Noopan produced a waliop that scored Chap after Mooney fanned.

Catcher Fred Ensign was released on Tuesday. ‘With that kind of team play, Norwich stock is due for a rise. “Grab” Chapdelaine’s cheerful chat- ter behind the bat seems to infuse a lot of life into the team. Because the morning game on Me- morial day was in New Londen, Hum- phrey will probably expect Norwich to take the morning game for the Fourth. By directions from Captain Duff, McIntyre double crossed the Middle- town players, pushing it over their heads when they were playing in for a bunt. The Fourth.of July games have been arranged between Middletown and ‘Willimantic, being at Willimantic in the morning and at Middletown in the afternoon. The Middletown team is to play a benefit game for Catchier Anderson, who lately lost a team of horses that were backed off a bank into a pond and drowned. and Boston Stock Exchanges FINANCIAL AND SMALL NET CHANGES.

Bonds and High Grade Securities Orders cxecuted in Stocks and Bends, Grain and Cotton. New York, June 28.—The paraliel speculation in stocks and in wheat showed evidence today of a realizing ‘movement, in the sense of buying of stocks to covar shorts and of profits taking sales in wheat. The hesitation developed on the reactionary price movements resulting from this action was an index of the state of doubt whather the wider speculative adjust- ment had culminated or only paused. There was no material change in the SHANNON DQ‘I.DIHG, gonditions which had .'p;ompted :t‘:: \ movement. e large influence on b gy s e e course of the markets played by the Telephone 801 crop situation in the northwest does not admit of doubt. There was much attention paldgin the financial districts to the cons t estimates current of the amount of damage already dome to spring wheat and the consequences to be expectad to railroad trafic, and general business activity in the sec- tions affected. Officials of the rail- roads admit the fact of the damage done by the drought, but pronounce the reports of it exaggerated for spec- ulative effect. Crop reports, aside from the spring wheat damage, ars favora- ble as a whole, especially for the corn and winter wheat belts. The _effect was -seen in —a degree of positive strength of some of the corn grangers in the day's stock market. The weak- ness in the day’'s cotton market had a technical explanation in the obligation of buyars of cotton to accept notices of July contracts. Of the more abstruse causes of the break in the market, there continued to be much confused conjecture. The force of evenis gave warrant to the supposition that the adjournment of congress and the return to New York of J. Pierpont Morgan had failed to bring out a demand for stocks which had been counted on by party in the speculation. The paucity of the demand d the urgency or determina— tiom of the recent seling were the facts beyond dispute. There persisted a sus- picion that the rectification was in progress of st2ps not approved by the home-coming chief of a party in the market. Reports of oppos‘llo? from the miscellaneous shippers to the agreement over rates hetween the meat packers and the raijroads were cited as calculated to invite to renew agitation agginst the proposed ad- vances in freight rates. Rates for money showed little change, but the tone was somewhat firmer, in spite of the heavy ligquida- tion that has bz2en going on m the stock market. One of the surmises over the cause of the weakness of stocks is that some {ong standing speculative accounts have been forcad out by lenders of money on collateral, who are desirous of keeping liquid assets in hand for the fall money r2- xd quirements. = The day’s small net changss are due to the covering agresment amon the beans and supporting orders, through which the early losses were entirely retrieved. Net gains were indicated in not a few cases, although the early downward plunge established new low records for the year in some of the market leaders. Bonds ware irregular.
