If Connie Mack knew his business he would send Eddie Collins away on | a fishing trip or something just abeut | the time tMat Walter Johnson was due to pitch against the Athletics. | This may sound rather startling to the untutored fan, but let the doudt-| ful ones gaze' up when facing the Pride of the Potomac, also the pride of C. Griffith. 5 Now Eddie Collins is a most con- sistent .300 hitter, as nearly eve-y sane hurler will vouch for, but if nis batting average were reckoned by his work against Johnson he would be anything but a consistent swatsman and in all likelihood Mr. C.,Mack would get rid of him. Collins' batting average in facing Walter Johnson is @ perfect scream and Ed should disown it. One day he made two hits in one game when batting against Johnson, and one happened to be a home run. That was the best day's work he ever put in when laboring to master the John- | son curve. After that game Collins faced Johnson-about 25 times before | he even got the semblance of a hit. | These may be hard words, but E.| Collins, has made the poorest showing against Johnson of any batsman in th«| league controlled by Ban Johnson, save the hurlers and possibly Bily | SuHivan. Tt is about as hard to find | where Billy made a base hit off the| pitching of the great Walter as would be to find a molar in an hen, but then Sully has faced the big star only a little over 30 times. Collins in the eight seasons he has ' had the pleasure, or agony, of trying| to hit the curves of Johnson, made a lamentably poor showing. In the 110 | ‘imes at bat he made just 16 base hits, | an average of .14. Corns, Bunions and In- growing Toe Nails treated without pain. Comfort assured.

Northrop Speaks on Sub- ject of Child Labor—Special Ston- ington Invitation For Mrs. Barber. Rev. C. A. Northrop gave an address Sunday morning at the First Cangre- ®gational church showing the relation the community should hold toward child welfare. This is the century of the children, he began. It is our duty to help the large fulfillment of thelr sccial and community life. There never was a time when in every line the child is so forging to the front. We are walking in better ways our- selves because of the child in our midst. People are making it the bus- iness of their lives to give the chil- dren a chance in work and in play— our summer playgrounds, sanitation, better tenements, better school meth- ods—all are improving the body and soul of the children. Still there are many, many who do not have these things brought to them. Pictures of child labor were drawn and the facts brought out of small children working 8, 10 hours a day. Every one of these at least shold not be allowed to suffer from the greed of the communit All the laws In the interest of these come before us today. The Christian church should most heartily cooperate in the endeav- ors to improve all social conditions, A real live church is interested in the people of whom it is a center. Wg are trying to have a safeguarded genera- tion so that the next generation may be a better, wiser one. Juniors Sell Lemonade. On the lawn by the old church well on the Green, the Junior Endeavore#s were selling lemonade Saturday after- noon.

From the Ithine, which is the base of German operat- tions, three routs lead west and south into France. The first starts at Co- Icgre, crosses the Telgian frontier just beyond Aix-ia-Chapelle, r-:ches the Meuse at Liege and afcends the divide between the headwaters of the Oise and the Sambre. This is the route followed by the main rallroad between Paris and Berlin. It was employed by the allies in the second campaign in the French revolution. The invaders were defeated by the French army celebrated in song and story as the Army of the “Simbre et Meuse” at the decisive battle of Fleurus.
