Insurance Men Discuss War, Columbus, O., Sept. 28—Slaughter of thousands of soldiers in the Euro- pean war and the resulting increase in the death rate was a main subject of discussion at a session of the National Assoclation of Mutual Insurance com- allow Mosup Game Sunday. The acts of ridiculous insubordina- tion of seven players of the New Lon- don team directed against Manager H. Eugene McCann have not only resulted in their losing their financial share of the final games of the championship | series and -in the calling off of the benefit game to have been played at Plant field Thursday, but they are also extremely likely to end organized baseball -in New' London, that is, so far as Commodore Morton F. Plant is concerned. In_an interview Wednesday morn- ing Commodore Plant authorized the statemert that he was absolutely dis- gusted ‘with -the spirit shown by the New London .players who participated in the So-called ‘strike threat. He up- held Manager McCann in the position which he took regarding the Sunday playing and at the same time with- drew any offers which he had made of money to the players, except to those who had proved themselves loyal io management. “I am entirely in favor of ridding the club of those members who have made all this trouble for the manage- ment,” the commodore said. “I do not believe there is any punishment that Manager McCann could- have meted out that would have been sufficiently drastic to fit the circumstances. I will not say at this time that I am ready to discontinue my connection with the team, but I feel very much like saying s0, “The question is not so much of the members of the team having partici- pated in the game Sunday against the regulations of the commission. They erred then, but that might have been overlooked. But when it came to a pitcher, who was likely to be used in Monday’s game, taking part in an am- ateur contest, and then, after being reprimanded for -his action, having his teammates, or some of ther, declare that he should not be censured and that if he was they were ready to quit with him, ‘is well nigh beyond cre- dence. I repeat that I am disgusted beyond expression at the treatment which these players have accorded to Manager McCann and indirectly to those who have had the welfare of the team closely at heart.” Manager McCann’s Statement. Never has an incident in the sport- ing life of this section caused such widespread consternation as followed the announcement of the so-called strike of a portion of the New London team on the eve of its departure for Lawrence. Few of the details were known on the following morning and it remained for the return of Manager McCann and the players to make pub- lc the entire situation. Manager McCann has this to say concerning the unpleasant incident: DOINGS IN THE AUTO WORLD l’remdi:e Aga.lthdor Trucks is Dying Out—Dimming Apparatus is Declared to ington, D.

Should Greece be drawn into the European war, an American motor car company will have the distinction of being used in the greatest war of the world's _history. His excellency, Agamemnon Schlie- mann, Greclan minister to the United States, has placed his official signa- ture on an order for 50 1 1-2 ton trucks to be delivered in New York for tran- sit to Greece the middle of September. The factory has put on an extra night force of men to fulflll its contract. The trucks are intended for the to be fully prepared for any eventu- ality, whether it be merely localized ‘warfare against the Turks or a broad- er participation in the general Euro- Pean struggle. The order is especially interesting on account of the important part which motor-driven vehicles are already play- ing in the war. In fact, aside from the sensational operations of aircraft, there is no new feature of the modern plan of warfare attracting more atten- tion than the work of motor trucks. The contract was awarded after a lively competition, which included - all the accepted tests of power and stam- ina. Bvery leading truck in America participated.

Plant Disgusted With the Action of Players in the So-Called Strike Threat— Trouble Arose From Players Participating in Plainfield- The Planters’ chief declared that when the New London players started to participate in the Sunday game they knew they were acting contrary to the explicit orders of the baseball com- mission, which had been read to them. Manager McCann personally warned the players not to take part in the game at Plainfield and they, ignoring his order, insisted on doing so. All would probably have gone wed at that, had Green, the pitcher, not been mixed up in the affair. It was the intention of Manager McCann to use him the following day, and the fact that he wilfully took part in an- other game, with the possibility of weakening himself to the point where he would be valueless to his own team, became a most serious matter. Manager McCann naturally became incensed at this utter disregard of his orders and -took Green to task. Even up to this stage of the proceedings any public breach of relations might have been avoided had some of the players not taken it upon themselves to side with Green and defy the management. This is the act of insubordination that Commodore Plant and Manager Mc- Cann refuse to condone. List of the Mutinous Ones. The: players who took part in the Sunday game are Quinn, Green, Rock, ‘Warner, Marhefka, Barberich and Ahearn. that Green had no business to have gone into the Sunday game and that some of the others tried to dissuade him from doing so. As far the others were concerned, the player interviewed said that they were not aware they were doing anything wrong in “picking up a piece of easy money.” He said that all were agreed, however, that Green had done the wrong thing. There was no apparent attempt on the part of this player to shift any re- sponsibility on Green, but rather to show that the others had discouraged him from starting to pitch. Had the players known they were not supposed to play outside during the series, this one continued, they would certainly not have gone to Plainfield. Asked if they had not been ordered not to go there, he said they had not. Manager Mc- Cann expressly states that they had. The incident is far from a closed book. / The case is now in the hands of the national baseball commission, and with that body rests the fate of the players concerned in the insubor- dination. . No money will be paid any- one on, the team until the commission has so ordered. One of the New London players de- clares he has received a letter from a “ederal league magnate offering him a job, together with others on the team. He is going to hang on to it for future reference. . GAMES SCHEDULED TODAY. American Leasua, Boston at St. Louls New_York at Detrolt.

As New York lost twice this afternoon, the local team in- creased its lead in the pennant race to six games. A liner by Smith that was blocked by a boy as it was bounding into the centerfield bleachers gave Boston the winning tally in the final inning of the opening contest, the rap going for a home run. The second game was a plichers’ battle, Lear, formerly of Princeton, having the better of the argument with Davis.

New York, Sept. 23.—New York was virtually eliminated today from the pennant race, losing a double header to St. Louis by scores of 2 to 1 and It was the first time New York lost two games in one day this season. St. Louis climbed to third place in the league standing. The visitors broke Tesreau's ‘win- ning streak in the first game when the local star lost a pitchers’ battle to Perritt. Tesreau held St. Louis to three hits, but his wildness beat him. St. Louls won the game in the eighth when Butler was hit, stole second and scored on a wild pitch. Marquard pitched the second game for New York and suffered his twelfth straight defeat. He again was hammered hard. Sallee kept New York hits scattered and was effective in the pinches.

Vin Campbell and Bill Rariden, Fermer Braves, Likely to Lose a Piece of Change. excuse for kicking themselves all over a ball lot, Vin Campbell and Bill Rari- den, outflelder and catcher, respective- ly, on the Indianapolis Federal league club, are the ones. These two, both league club. Campbell didn't play in 1913, having quit the national pastime in a huff the previous season. At the beginning of this season he was im- portuned by George S the Braves' manager, to join the club. Rariden, though, caught the majority of Boston's games last year and was ranked as one of the best receivers in the National league, During last winter Federal league agents whispered offers into the ears of both Campbell and Rariden. They listened and began to fall, as the Fed agent named sums much in excess of the salaries they were receiving at Boston. Boston last eeason was a down and outer, with no show of getting into the world’s series money. And the pros- pects for 1914 were not much brighter at the time the new league's agents were after Rariden and Campbell. And 80 it was not strange that Rariden end Campbell should jump to the outlaw circult with a chance to make more money, But now, with the Boston Braves knocking the props from under tho Glants and being picked by many to win the National gefll’“h flag, different thing—much differen Rari- den and Campbell groan every time they pick up a paper and read that Boston has won another game, I, 0.

The program which is to be given at the fleld day held by the County t, Murray D. Lincoln, of the New London County Improvement League at ex-Senator Allyn’s farm in Ledyard promises to be very interesteing to all connected with fruit growing and gen- eral farming. i There will be a demonstration of the canning of windfall apples by Mr. A. J. Brundage and his assitant Miss Sprague who are connected with the Extension Department of Storrs Az- ricultural Coliege. This will be in- teresting in that it will démonstrate how many dollars worth' of apple. might be saved yvearly and used ad- vantageously by the housewife. It is also practical for young people Wwho want to earn a bit of spending money to get interested in one of these outfits. Mr. Brundage is the State Or- ganizer of Boys’ clubs and Miss Sprague is the newly appointed as- sistant in the Extension Department to take up the problems of domestic sclence in the homes of the farmers of our statd This will be a splendid opportunity to meet these people and get acquainted with their work. There will be a demonstration of packing apples by the county agent. ‘Many of the farmers who realize scarcely nothing for their apples would make a good market for their fruit if it was properly packed and graded. X:&o\;- methods will be shown he&e. for box packing apples and the barrel also. = Mr. Karl Musser the Dairy Bxten- sion man from Storrs college will also give a short talk about the economic feeding of our dalry cows. With grain so high this is a very important question and he will answer further g:qulrlea that the farmers wish to ask m. All taken together this should prove to Dbe a very interesting meeting. Remember the date, 1:30 p. m., Friday of this week. 3 Apple Barrels. Since the announcement that the league was buying lime cooperatively for its members, requests to buy sev- eral other articles have been received. Although rather late to order now, several farmers have asked about ap- Ple_barrels. Upon writing to an apple barrel fac- tory in Massachusetts, the agent finds that he can book an order for barrels to be deifvered the first week in Oc- tober at the price of 35c per 'barrel, with a freight charge of about &c to the Norwich station. A carload con- tains between 400 and 450 apple bar- rels. Already over 200 have been spok- en for and if the remainder can be sold, the agent will send the order im- mediately. Being such a late date on- ly prompt measures will secure us these barrels at this tihe and price. A farmer will realize a good deal more if he uses the standard barrel than if he uses crates and odd sized, 1d dirty barrels. Apples packed and graded in a new, clean barrel-are sure to_bring a better price. : ‘Even 1f you do not want more than 10 or 15 or even less barrels call up the Improvement League and let the agent secure them for you. Cooperative Lime Buying. During the past week orders for two carloads of lime were sent for by the agent representing orders from a goodly number of farmers and several dollars per ton were saved. This lime is bought of a Massachusetts concern and test between 99.35 and 99.63 per cent pure carbonate accord- ing to the Massachusetts and Con- necticut stations reports. - Next spring many-more carloads of the product will be secured at the re- duced rates offered owing to the coop- erative buying in carload lots and ar- rangements have been made to book our orders early in order that we may be sure to avoid the spring rush. On- ly members of the league will be allow- ed to purchase in this way and since the agent intends to carry this pur- chasing plan to other products in the .very near future, .every farmer who wishes to benefit by such should make arrangements to join the league at the earliest possible date. Dairy extension Man in the County. Mr. Karl Musser . the newly appoint- ed dairy extension man from the Con- necticut Agricultural college hulapent | other purpose. ‘Hod beside it Fruit Growing and Genera' Farming Field Day at Allyn Farm in Ledyard Arranged by County Agent Lincoln Promises Much—Some Good Advice to the past two days with the agent here in the county amongst the dairy men. Mr. Musser . is pushing the keeping recordg on the dairy cows and also has started to work in organizing a cow testing association in the neigh- borhood of Jewett City. Toward the middle of October he intends to come to the county and spend several weeks in this neighborhood working on these ideas. Another unique scheme inaugurated by him is that of rations for the dalry cows of the county. Each month he proposed to take the current prices of grain in the different parts of the state and figure the most economical feeds to feed. These rations will be published in the various papers that circulate throughout the state. Every dairyman should watch for these ra- tions and put them into practice. Apples and Prices. All indications seem to point this vear to a great over-surplus of apples of all sorts. This means that there will be a glut on most markets and prices will be rather low, which in turn means that the farmer showld put forth a little extra effort this year to market his product. Above all things the second grade apples should be kept from-the market as much as possible as it is the inferior product that keep the price of the good appples down. At present the standard varieties of apples are bringing only $1.50 to $2.50 on the New York market and since the season has just begun it seems cer- tain that they will go much lower. By utilizing our seconds for vine- gar, cider, to can or preserve best grades up. Due to the war on the other side a large market has prac- tically been cut off which tends to vastly increase the apples that will be flooded to our home markets. More than ever the farmer should use care and up-to-date methods to-get rid of his firsts and let others go for some Contrary to the general trend of prices, the price of the red fancy ap- ples on the New York market are go- ing very low.while the green apples are holding their own fairly well. People with apples to sell should watch the various markets closely so :l’&lt the best returns will be realiz- The agent his helped several of the members of the league to dispose of their apple crop this year and others are invited to confer with him in re- gard to the disposal of theirs. Result of Solchester Boys’ Potato Club Very satisfactory results have been obtained by the boys of Colchester under the supervision of Mr. Moore, formerly the principal of Bacon Acad. emy and now principal of the Wheeler school in North Stonington. They raised an acre of potatoes which yielded 230 bushels, 128 bushels were sold locally and the others sent to a commission man in ‘Willimantic. Their total expenditures were $124.58 and the total receipts $189.08 making a net profit of 64/48. This divided up on the basis of the amount of work done by each of the boys gave them 15 cents per hour for their labor and profit at the rate of 17 cents per hour. ‘They invested their labor and reiceved 118 per cent on the invest- ment.

Association, An important meeting of the Con- necticut Forestry Association is to be held at the Yale Forestry School, 270 Prospect St., New Haven, Conn. on Sept. 26, at 10 a. m. The meeting will ‘be of especial interest to large forest owners and those with tracts of land that are now waste as far as profitable agriculture is concerned. Addresses will be made by prominent foresters :ndd-l.ll interested will do wel to at- en SEED POTATOES. Should Be Carefully Selected and Stored in Even Temperatured Room. There is no reason why every potato grower who has a good storage room Should not from year to year get seed capable of producing the greatest yield from his own fleld. To do this selection of the High yielding hills should be made, using those which have at least a certain number of mar- ketable potatoes; the larger the num- ber the better the seed will likely be in producing the larger yleld. This selection must be made at digging time by putting aside each “hill de- sired to be saved. These should be stored in a room where the tempera- ture is low and even and where evap- oration from the potatoes will not take place, With this practice of se- lection the small tuber can be utilized as well as the larger. ~ FEATURES OF THE EGG LAYING CONTEST. Result of Study of In- Records—Wyandottes and Leghorns Lead. The striking feature of the 48th week of the laying contest is the fact that no Leghorns are among the leading pens. The Rhode Island Reds of A. B. Brun- dage, Danbury, Conn. that tied for first place in the 44th’ week and won first in the 45th week, are again at the head of the list in the 46th week. They won easily with 49 eggs or an even 70 per cent. yield. F. L. Tuttle’s Barred Plymouth Rocks from Ashland, Mass., won second place with a yield of 40 egss, and a pen of Rose Comb Rhode Isiand Reds from Glenview Poultry Farm, Rockville, Conn.,, came third with a yield of 37 eggs. The Leghorns as a rule stick so well to' the business of laying eggs that it is a rare occur- rence for them to be thus shut out by the heavier breeds. A study of the individual reords re- veals some interesting facts. Ofthe 820 birds in the competition, the 12 best birds are made up of 5 White Wyandottes, 5 White Leghorns, 1 Buft Wyandotte, and 1 Rhode Island Red. Thus it will be noted that the Wyan- dottes and the Leghorns break exactly even for individual honors, although there are considerably more Leghorns competing. None of these individuals can perhaps hope to equal the record of 252 eggs made last year, thus estab- lishing a record for American egg- laying contests. The two leaders, how- ever, the White Wyandotte and the White Leghorn, are both ahead of -the best individual record in the first con- test held at Storrs, which went to a Rhode Island Red hen from Kentucky with a yield of 254 eggs. These 12 best scores are given below. The fig- ures seem to point plainly to the fact that there are good layers in many different breeds, so that a breeder need not hesitate to send birds to a laying contest if they have been bred for egs production and if they have been prop- erly selected: Merrythought Farm, White Wyan- dotte, 231 eggs; Experimental, White Leghorn, 230 eggs; Tom Barron, White Wyandotte, 224 eggs; Dr. N. W. San- born, Buff Wyandotte, 218 eggs; Fran- cis F. Lincoln, White Leghorn, 211 eggs; Francis F. Lincoln, White Leg- dividual horn, 210 eggs: Neale Bros, White Wyandotte, 210 eggs; Merrythought Farm, White Wyandotte, 210 eggs; Tom Barron, English White Leghorn, 208 eggs; Merrythought Farm, White Wyandotte, 20§ eggs; Francis F. Lin- coln, White Leghorn, 207 eggs; Pine- crest Orchards, Rhode Island Red, 206 esgs. Even at the present unfavorablesea- son for high records nine individuals including Barred Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds and White Wyan- dottes, laid seven eggs each during tne past week.
