They each paid $18. Adam Gayronski and John 1ski, also aceused in the gambling charge were found not guilty and were ordered d ed. The accused were all represented by Attorney Thomas M. Shields. City. Attorney John D. Hall prosecuted the cases and Judge John H. es was on the bench. = Albert Gordon, a seller of religious books was the first witness, he testi- fied to the reputation of the place where he had heard of gambling going on, and that it was a bad house and girls were there. Stanley Pluma fol- Towed him and told of hiving heard of one man who had lost $54 there. He saw three Franch girls there last De- cember. Sergeant John H. Kane, who was in charge of the police party that made the raid and arrests testified to hav- ing listened outside the house with 4 Policeman Casey and hearing cards shuffling d money Jingling earlier in the e%?mun He told of gaining entrance &t the back door. When in: side the house he saw through a slid- Ing door into ancther room and zaw four men playing cards. He saw no money, but there were two beer bot- tles on the table nearby emrtfi and he pointed out Gavronski, Tubitski and Gerlitsky as the three men in whose hands he saw cards. In their testi- mony later they denied that they were playing a: all. The sergeant told of having seen a certain married woman g0 to the house at a late hour at night on several occasions. When Atforney Shields insisted on 'having the wo- man’s name, City Attqrmey Hall said he thought it was not necessary to bring it out in public, and the officer was allowed to whisper it to the at- torney, who in turn whispered it to the defendant, Ustasheski. Others also testified for the pros- ecution and all the accused testified in their own defense. The proprietor, Ustasheski, explained the circum- stances by stating that he had closed his place at shortly before 11 o'clock and had invited the men upstairs to have a treat at his expense as he had been marrieq about two weeks ago. All the accused testified along similar lines. City Attorney Hall submitted the case without argument, but Attorney Shields made an argument when the evidence was all in.

The fol- lowing resolutions were adopted: Whereas, Telephone service is a rce- ognized facility in the development of country life to a higher plane of at- tractiveness and efficiency; and, Whereas, It is the apparent policy of the Southern New England Tele- phone company to multiply its ex- changes in territories already served by exchanges locateq in the commer- cial centers of those terrotories, there- by increasing the expense of the ser- vice without increasing its efficiency to_the patrons; therefore, be it Resolved, By New London County Pomona grange, assembled in regular session, that we emphaftically protest against such policy and request that rates for all residential telephonee ser- vice be reduced 26 per cent., beginning | Oct. 1, 1918.

BEETS FOR POULTRY. E. W. Brown of Old Mystic Tells of Value as Food. The proceedings of the second day’s session of the - Connecticut Poultry- men’s association began at 10 o'clock Thursday mornine at Hartford with a much larger attendance than on Wed- nesday. In an address on Green Feed for Laying Hens and the Most Eco- nomical Method of Growing It E. W. Brown of Old Mystic related his per- sonal experience along this line and in explaining his method of feeding he emphasized ihe importance of green feed, especially mangel beets. A fea- ture’ of the address was a description of the method he employs to grow a maximum yield of beets upon a given area. Cost of Raising. Mr. Brown gave the cost of raising a half acre of beets as follows: Five cords of manure, $20; carting manure, $4; 500 pounds of fertilizer, $10.50; four bushels of salt, 80 cents: plant- ing, $1.45; harrowing, 50 cents: two pounds seed, 45 cents: cultivating, $1; hoeing, $4.80; harvesting, $6; a total of $49.50. Mr. Brown did ot include the cost of thinning the beets, because the leaves and beets used in the summer will repay the labor of thinning. From a half acre a total of 18 tons was har- vested. The beets are stored in cellars like cordwood. Mangel beets improve the land and they can be grown on the same land for several years. To feed the beets to pouitry, drive some spikes, not too high for the hens, in the henhouse. Stick a beet on each spike and come back in a short time. The hens will be found busy picking away, at the beets eagerly. The hens also ‘eat the leaves readily. J. L. Nix of Homer City, Pa. spoke on Artificial Incubation. While not asserting that the, modern ingubator is a perfect machine, Mr. Nix declared that it is the only way for large rais- ers to keep the chicks coming. His address embraced a reference to the so-called mammoth incubator an dhe showesd how to bring its efficiency up to correspond with the best modern practice of incubation. His talk was fllustrated by blackboard sketches. In the afternoon Mr. Nix told about Arti ficlal Rearing and brooding of Chicks. It includes a description of all the dif ferent varieties of brooders and how to_operate them. Real Methods in a Real New Eng- land Farm, with Real Hens Chicks was the subject of Dr. Sanborn of Holden, Mass, of coun trywide reputation on poultry hus- bandry.

SCRAPPY WHEN YOUNG. Manager McGraw Displayed Peppery Tactics Several Years Ago. John J. McGraw's first professional engagement was in the New York and Pennsylvania league. This league, which witnessed the debut of the fa- mous manager of the Giants, included Bradford, Erie, Williamsport, Altoona, Johnstown, Meadville and Wilkes- Barre, in Pennsylvania, Jamestown. Olean’ and Eimira in New York, and during its short existence it whirlwind baseball organization. G Higgins of Bradford, now of Pitts- burg, was secretary of the league. The leagie came into_existence wholly and entirely through love of the greal out- laudable ambition on the part of the towns represented to maintain and uphold athletic su- premacy. Commercialism did not en- ter into the proposition at all.’ Those interested in the game went into their pockets freely and frequently that their clubs might stay the Season out and beat rivals in the race for the pennant. In addition to this, most every season witnessed the passing of subscription papers in all the towns making up the circuit appealing to the local pride of the citizens to keep in the baseball world. It was with Olean that McGraw played his first engagement, but he did not last long. He was too intense and zealous, so was released. - In his *teens and about as big as a pop bottle, he had the baseball cauldron seething and boiling over all the time. The sea- son had not been a month old when Billy Simpson, the owner of the Olean club, had to shoo him away to keep the exasperated players and patrons of the game from going insane. McGraw showed in the box score as playing third base. In reality, he at times es sayed to do all the work of a Hans Wagner and a Joe Tinker combined. He hovered all over the lot. Bail players relate that if a Texas leaguer went to short outfield he was crouch- ing under the fielder'’s legs to grab the ball if it were muffed. He was ambitious, alert and far too zealous. But he was young, very young. At the crack of the bat fielders like Tommy Leach, Ty Cobb and Sam Crawford, obeying baseball instinct, turn and run under a long hit fly ball, their eves not watching its flight. Well, McGraw seemed to have this instinct to a degree on infleld hits. Time and again he would be in front of the sec- ond baseman or the shortstop and like as not spilling and muffiing the Dball that did not belong to him. Kid as he was he sneered at the opposing players and his criticism of the errors of commission and omission of his own teammates was caustic and vit- was couched in town lot talk and not at all soothing to sensitive ears. He would block players twice his size when they were running bases, and at the bat would run _the chance of gettipg an arm or a rib broken to get a base. He loved the game and was winning is way quick, but as stated above, mpson was only human and none byt an East Indian pundit could stand for such an exasperating gadfly, and such a diminutive one at that. ~After Mc- Graw's release from Olean, Fred Kel- leher of Bradford, who was running a semi-professional team in Wellsville, N. Y., picked him up. Anon he went barnstorming with Al Lawson to Cuba, and it was his playing in the south after the barnstormers’ return that the newspaper boys began to talk of his ability, and these press notices brought him to_the attention of Ned Hanlon of the Baltimore club. Since that time until the present day the baseball reporters have kept the pub- lic pretty well informed about Me- Graw and his baseball career. Rev. W! F.
