There | was a feeling among some of the Dan- | ielson rooters after the zame that Raymond Wheaton, the Putnam um- pire, had called more fouls than were necessary on Killingly team, but im- | partial observers of the game gave | Putnam the credit of playing a faster | and better game than Killingly and said that the visitors deserved to win. The game was the second of a spe- cial_series to decide the championship as Putnam and Killingly are tied at | the end of the resular season. 1 A large Putnam delegation came | here on a special car to see the game and gave their team great support from the side lines. The Killingly cheering squad led by Benjamin Brown waseaso very much in evidence, Both teams used their regular lineups. There was some excitement after the game when the vicinity of the town hall was filled with cheering Putnam students. Near the Attawau- gan hotel a_demonstration was start- ed against Umpire Wheaton, who was seated in the office. Killlngly High students who were in the crowd were officially warned that if they took any unsportsmanlike action they would be punished by beinz forbidden to play basketball as a school next season. There was no more of the demonstra- tion than some idle talk. The sup- porters of the different teams each taking a side of the street, devoied themselves to giving school cheers and singing school songs. Putnam rootcim | went home happy in having won x championship that. was well w winning. | DEFIANCE WILL BE LAUNCHED MAY 11. Delegation from Boston Will Attend | the Ceremony.

New York, March 13.—An unexpect- ed turn for the better came in the stock market today. After an indiffer- ent opening this came surprise. Trading became broad and active, and the principal stocks were lifted a point or more. There the movement Stop- ped, after an hour of vigorous buying. The market fell back into the apa- thetic_state which has been character istic recently, but held firmly at the higher level. There was nothing in t velopments to explain _the sudden change in the market, for the specu- lative situation was not altered by the injection of any new factor of import- ance. The movement apparently rep- resented nothing more than the oper- ations of professional traders. At the opening there was renewed weakness in various stocks which recently have been under fire, but their declines did not affect the general list. Steadines of the market in spite of the softness of individual issues encouraged spec- ulative operations on the long side, and it required only a small amount of buying to demonstrate the scarcity | of stocks at the current level. The shorts were alarmed at the ease with which quotations were forced up and a retreat. Buying for both aecounts sent up prices rapidly. In the early movement several new low records were made. Canadian Pa- cific_was again we dropping to 203 5-8, the lowest since 1911. Den- ver and Rio Grande preferred at 19 3-4 was the lowest price on record. Rock Island also made another low mark at 4. On the upturn, however, great- est strength was shown by some of the stocks which recentiy have been weak, Canadian Pacific rose noarly three points from its low figure. New Haven and Chesapeake and Ohio also | | | e day's de- i were exceptionally strong. London reversed its attitude here today and bought stocks on a mod- erate scale. Canadian Pacific’'s up- turn was infiuenced largely foreign ‘buying. Bonds of the Gould roads and Rock Isiand bonds were weak in the early trading but recovered later. The gen- eral bond marker was steady after a period of irregularity. Total sales, par value, $2,300.000. | United States bonds were unchanged on call, STOCKS.

In Chicago the motorcycle has suc- cessfully solved the problem of police surgeongHunt of quickly transporting pulmoters about the city. Every am- bulance station in Chicago Is supplied with a pulmoter, and Dr. Hunt belio that in the past many more lives could have been raved from drowning, phyxiation, electric shocks, eto.if thes resuscitating devices could have been otten to the scene of the accident more quickly, He finally declded upon the motorcyele as the best vehicle for transporting the life savers, and now each ambulance station of the Windy City Is also equipped with a motor- evele, Activities in West.

Fifty motorcycies are kept in con- stant use by the telephone company of Chicago guarding the lines of the com- pany from copper wire thieves. Copper wire 1s very valuable and it is also easr to get away with. as the casual observer could not detect the staged a run to Phoenix, | thiet | from a workman. With the aid of the motorcycle, thefts of this sort have been reduced from 30 to flve during the past month. - Couldn’t Do Without Cycle. “I don't see how I could ever get along without a motoreycle,” says Ru- ral Mail Carrier Will Ganinger of Mound Vallel, Kansas. “The motor cle has been a boon for ihe R. F. D. man,” he continued, “and many of my fellow carriers swear byt it. “T have used a two wheeler for more than a year, and it certainly is a paying in- vestment.” And Mr. Gaininger finds that the motorcycle not only pays as a business asset, but it affords him much pleasure during his leisure hours, when he spins about over the couniry. ac- companied by one of his three children who think' motorcylng the greatest fun ever. 400-Mile Endurance. Sacramento, California, motorey- s are planning a 400-mile ope: endurance contest for July 4 and The run will be from Sacramento to Lake Tahoe and return, by way of Reno, Nevada.

Motorcycle club is a series of weekly night runs which promise to be very popular. Once a week the Houston motorcyclists will start from the clubhouse at 7.30 o’clock, take a couple hours’ "jaunt to some nearby town and return. The first run of this sort was made to the Ja- cinto batileground. - Nation-Wide Campaign. An aggressive membership campaign was launched on March 1 by the Fed- eration of American Motorcyclists. Practically every motorcycle club in the United States is planning to leave nothing undone to bring every possi- ble non-F. A. M. motorcycle rider into the national organization by June 30. It is estimated that there are 225,000 metoreyclists now In the United States. On March 1, 25,917 of these were mem- bers of the F. A, M. It is hoped that there will be at least 30,000 members the time of the annual convention in July. And from the enthusiasm with which the various clubs have tarted into this campaign the results will probably go even beyond that| figure. | Twenty-five awards are offered to ! the affiliated clubg bringing in the greatest number of riders during the next four months. Handsome awards will also be given the non-F. A. M. clubs affiliating the largest number of new members during any one month— March, April, May or June. Uncle Sam Buys Metorcycle.

And as an incipient fire in this dry timber, given only a few min- utes’ start, can cause the destruction | of hundreds of acres of forest, it is essential that the patrolmen have the most_rapid means of travel possible. In addition to the speed with which the two-wheeler can reach an incipi- ent blaze, the fact that the new ma- chines will be equipped with fire fight- ing apparatus will make them especial- y valuable in this service. TWENTY YEARS ON By JOHN THE CINDER PATH D. NOLAN. i B found me learning the rudi- of farming at which in later have been quite successful. It was not until Labor day that the old sportlust seized_me, and I de- cided to go to New York and compete in the Caledonian games, which were held in South Brooklyn that year. I felt very good and the weather was fine, but many of the old faces were missing. 1 decided to run in the three mile race, In which there were nine starters, the most prominent of whom were McClelland, who had come on from Pittsburgh for these games; Jim 1536 ments years I Smith of Albany, the mile champion nd Hegeiman of New York, who was in remarkably good conditlon that day At the start Hegelman cut oul a hot pace and we followed in cloge order for two miles, when Pets and I drew slowly away and &f iwo and a half miles had a lesd of twenty yards on McClelland who were run- ning in close company. During the last half mile, however, they closed the gap by hard sprinting and we began the last lap in close company with Hegelman still leading. This or- der was maintained until the final hundred yards when I went inte, the lead, which I held to the tape, one vard in advance of Smith, who led MecClelland by two feet while Hegel- fan was less than two yards behind McClelland. in a distance race ever seen in Amer- ica as a good sized blanket would have covered the four men at the finish, The following Fourth of July, ac- companied by my friend John Gléason of Nerwich, I went down to Newark, It was the closest finish | in a N. to compete the Caledonian games. We spent a pleasant day at Elizabeth with my old friend Ailbert | Schardien, July 3rd and left for New- ark early the next morning, being warmly greeted by many old friends on our arrival there. it seemed so good to be in the running once more! My spirits rose with the notes of the begpipes and I felt -the enthusiasm of a highlander as I listened to the strains of The Campbells Are Com- ing. At 10 o'clock a. m. the local Caledonians, visiting clans, pipers, and competing athletes formed in line for a three mile march to ipark. The day 1 was several | e pounds under my run- ning weight. Upon our arrival at the {pavk I felt very tired and weak and {laid off on a bench in the shade.

The mile was the first of the distance events ! and had eight starters. I kept in the rear for the half distance, when I warmed up and getting to the front i won by ten yards in 4m_ .

At the start Kulke went away at a cracking pace, but I held him easily for the first mile and then running like & machine I gradually drew away from him, winning by 100 yards in !10m. 7s. Everyone was surprised af the result—myself most of all Kulke's backer invited us to accom- pany him to his home in Brooklyn. Which invitaton we reluctantly de- clined. He spent the evening with us in New York and left us about mid- night after making me promise to accompany him on his annual vacatien to New Hampshire in September, whers he assured me he could mafci me with a local runner and also have a good time.
