Edward Clark of Springfleld is roque champlon of America, as the result of the final games on Saturday in the 31st annual tournament of the National Roque as soclation. By defeating in succession his brother, Harold Clark, and Charles G. Willlams, Eddie put all of his pos- sible competitors out of the runming, and took the honors in two beautifully played games. In the second division play, the tle between L. C. Willlamson of Washington and A. D. Spellman of Willimantic resuited in victory for the former in the fifth and deciding game of the extra series. The leader of the third division will be determined today when the three players who are tied meet. Eddie Clark Ran Away from Brother. ‘With only one game apiece lost, the indicatlons were that the struggle for the championship would le between the Clark brothers of Springfleld. The game was played Saturday afternoon. Bddie Clark won the rolloff but missed the balls. Harold took possession of the balls, but on his second arch he slipped up. Eddle made a good run before he missed and Harold Clark took the balls on a carom and took them to No. & arch. There he tried to tie up his brother, but Eddie made a nice carom and once more had the balls. Harold Clark did not see the balls again, although he just missec getting them by several hairbreadth misses of caroms. In his final game of the tournament with Charies G. Williams of Washing- ton, Eddie Clark ran out the circuit with ease, leaving Williams with one yall for the fifth arch and the other for the second. * Champion Clark in Beautiful Form. Almost faultless roque was shown for the most part by Champlon Clark this year and his long accurate shots and beautiful caroms were the ad- miration of all the players, especially the few who saw him in action for the first time. His play might well have been weakened by the fact that for a period of ten weeks he was seri- ously i1l and .was just getting around when he went down to Philadelphia for the middle states championship play this summer. Nevertheless he proved his leadership there, Horace T. Webb being the only man to successfully meet him, and at the tournament here. he had apparently regained all of his old skill. His defeat by Turner of California was the big surprise of the week. Harold Clarlc Shows Promis: The work of Harold Clark almost rivaled his brother's in quality and his development in the last few years in- dicates that he is in line for the championship honors at no very late day. In 1906 he finished first in the third divisfon, the next year was sec- ond in the second division, and in 1908 he led the second divisioners, and since then has been gaining ground among the veterans. Eddie Clark was cham- pion in 1908, took gecond place the next two vears, with Harold Bosworth as champion, and again won out last summer. Whitaker a Strong Player. ‘Whitaker of Springfield played a re- markably strong game for his first year with the first divisioners and fin- ished third. Horace T. Webb finished in fourth place, and the display o® roque that the Philadelphia pia: 1 made was of high standard. Whita- ker forfeited game to Webb owing to the necessity of leaving town with- | out delay. Williamson Leads Second Division. The second division furnished an interesting struggle for first place this vear, and the clever work of President | Williamson was rivaled only by the recovery of Spellman. In succession the Willimantic player defeated Rod- and tied In the series of five extra games Spellman took the first game Saturday. Willlamson took the next two in handy fashion and then Spellman came back with strength and made the score even again. The last | game was played in the twilight and | lasted from 20 minutes of 6 until just | after 7. Spellman had his balls for the cage when Willlamson ran out, To these two players fell the honor of AUGUST Clark Retains Rogue Championship Victories Over Harold Clark and Williams Give Springfield Man the Leadership Again—Williamson Takes Fifth and Deciding Game From Spellman For First Place in Second o aa % 2 Not Yet Settled. having the longest game in the tour- nament, Williamson defeating him in their regular game after three hours and a half of play.

Office Should Be Held by Norwich Man and H. T. Webb Resigned—Commit- tees Named. President L. C. Williamson called another meeting of the association on Saturday morning, and at the session the resignation of Horace T.

It was of- fered on the ground that the hest in- terests of the association demand that that office be held by a Norwich man. As a voung man who has been a strong and enthusiastic supporter of roque in Norwich and has been active in furthering its welfare, having oa Friday been in charge of the water- melon festivities, the name of William E.

Eldred Brown Spoke of Her Services During Over Forty Years at Trinity Church. At Trinity Episcopal church on Sun- day morning the rector, Rev. J. Eldred Brown, pald tribute to the late Miss Caroline H. Thompson and her mer- vices to the church in these word Dear Brethren of Trinity Church: 1 feel sure I speak for us all when I say that our hearts are sad today ax we think of the departure from this life of one who for so meany vears has been- intimately assoctated with our church's worship and activitles. As We look lack over the record of Car line Thompson's service to this church we are impressed by its exceptional nature. It was exceptional for its d ration. For Miss Thompson was or- ganist of this church for over forty consecutive years—a length of service which is the more extraordinary in that it began when she was only 15 years of age. But if this record was exceptional for its duration it has been no less so for its charactes was a service characterized by ability and by faithfulness. Miss Thompson was a musician of ability. Her know- ledge of music was wide and deep. More particularly, she kept in close touch with church music in its various schools, and it was ever her pleasure to bring before her choir treasures both old and new. Her ability as a choir instructor was well known, and many a soloist in church choirs can trace to her his or her first training and gfowth. Indeed, we who have been familiar with her musical work for so many vears have been con- stantly surprised and delighted by what we have seen her accomplish. But above all things else T am sure we will all agree in commending her fidelity. She had a very high sense of what she owed to her position and her work, and this quality of faithfulness was well matched by her indomitable will and energy. Too often in the past three years, as we all know, these characteristic qualities have kept her at her post when anyone else would have felt justified in claiming exemp- tlon from work. But not only did she persist in her work, she persisted in spite of all our fears and remon- strances, For her work was her life, dear friends, Life for her meant her work, It was equally her duty and her pleasurs, In this she was a mar- vel and an example to all who knew her, And in this, too, we may be sure, her works will follow her, We shali sadly miss her, not only in the ehoir, but in the Bunday scheel. Yet we eannet wish her baek, for she has fought well her fight to the emd and has finished her source, And new ghe is at peace! May Ged grant te her eternal rest, and may His perpetual light shine upen her! ©One who has kept count eiaims that 26 days out of the 44 succeeding St. Swithin's day have been clear 450 PEOPLE ENJOY SOCIALIST PICNIC New Haven Speaker Rapped Bull Moosers Before Cosmopolitan Audi- ence.

The principal feature of the day was a talk by Isador Polsky of New Haven. His remarks were confined to the po- Mtical issues of the day. William Kellas acted as chairman of the meet- ing and with a brief outline of the aims ang objects of the soclalist move- ment he presented the speaker. Mr. Polsky said in part: A New Political Power. Ten years ago in the United States socialism was represented by a hand- ful of scattered enthusiasts whose ef- forts to spread their creed seemed never to result in aught by ridicule and riot. But on the morning of No- vember 8 Iast the people of the United States awoke to the fact that a new political power had arisen in their af- fairs. The election of November 7 showed tremendous development that the once despised socialist party had become a formidable factor for the big business of this country to reckon with, The speaker said that the best evi- dence that big business and special privilege feared only the socialist par- ty, lay in the fact that everywhere that socialism became strong these in- terests brought about a fusion of all the older political parties against their new and formidable foe—the socialist party, He cited Milwaukee, Los An- geles, Berkeley, Cal, and other places as Instances. Flayed the Other Parties. The speaker took up the republican party and with a few pointed argu- ments laid bare its deficiencies. Wood- row Wilson was next discussed and he was found sadly wanting.
