Hannes Will Play No More at Yale. New Hfiven, Conn.,, May 26—Formal announcement was made tonight by Yale haseball officials that Right Fielder Hanes will not play in any more baseball games for Yale, as it is Believed Princeton’s protest over his eligibility is well founded, Hanes played one year as a substitute and another as i regular on the Univer- sity of North Caroltha nine before coming to Yale, which makes him in- eligible for the Harvard and Princeton series on account of the three year rule. This is his second year on the Yale nine. Rhett will probably take Hanes' place. Match Postponed. Morristown, N. J, May 26.—By mu- tual agreement the postponed final match for the mixed doubles Metro- rolitan championship titles was played today on the tennis courts of the Morristown Figld club here. Miss Molla Bjurstedt and F. C. Inman won the match, which had been postponed several times because of rain since the tournament of two weeks ago on the courts of the West Side Tennis club, at Forest Hills, Long Island. The Norwegian girl and Inman defeated Mrs. Marshall McLean and Dean Mathey, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4. Oarsmen Take a Soaking, New Haven, Conn., May 26.—While pacing the Yale varsity crew in a time row on the harbor late today, the second eight was swamped by a sud- den gale and the men thrown into the water. The coaching launch was close by and the oarsmen were all picked up. They were hurried to the ®oat- house, ‘There was a siight change in the makeup of the shells at practice to- day, owing to the illness of Wiman at No. 7 in the first boat. He has ton- silitis. Gamble was taken from the second crew to fill his seat and Har- riman took Gamble's place. Commission Disallows Pape’s Claim. Cincinnati, May 26.—The National Baseball commission today affirmed a decision of the national board in dis- allowing thg claim of Player L. A. Pape for $&00 against the Portland club of the Pacific Coast league. Pape contended that he was entitled ‘o salary for the unexpired period of his contract, he having been re- easeded in miG-season under a five days releaie notice clause. His claim was ‘based on the allegation that he did not read his contract and 3id not know the five day release no- lice was in it.

LAIGHTON THE PHOTOGRAPHER Opposite Norwich Savings Soclety On account of increase in price of to- neco, the Whitestone Cigar will be old from mow ou at $35 per 1,000, J. F. CONANT. 11 Franklin St. 1an2d of the steel companies, were less stable on rumors of another DANNY MURPHY LOYAL TOBRODKFEDS| Stuck by Lee Magee in Recent Rebellion Headed by Artie Hofman—Federals Realize He is a Valuable Adviser, Coach and Scout—Danny Has Long Term With Tip Tops. ‘A striking illustration of the differ- ence between a ball player who is loyal and one who is of the contract-jump- ing stripe was brought clearly to the eves of the fans within the past week. In Brooklyn it was necessary to send eight men to the Federal league’s new ally, the Colonial league, and in se- lecting these players R. B. Ward in- sisted that the name of Danny Murphy should not be placed on the list. Lee Magee agreed with Mr. Ward heartily and stated that he would have Murphy with him as long as he managed the club. When the Tip Tops, headed by Artie Hofman, staged their little re- bellion a few weeks ago, Danny Mur- phy was one veteran who stuck by the boy manager, and who helped him through this trying situation. Murphy could ‘have made things mighty un- pleasant for Magee, and as he was the most logical choice for manager if Magee was ousted, as the players ‘wished, it was only natural that some should think Murphy would be in ac- cord with the movement. But they reckoned without Dan’s fairness and loyalty. This loyalty mede Dan a popular hero in the eyes of the Ath- letics, and is said to have caused the trouble Ira Thomas had when he suc- ceeded Dan as captain of the Mackmen last season. Murphy was with Magee from the start of the trouble in the Brooklyn ranks, and the youngster ap- preciates what Danny did to keep peace in the family. Realizing that he is invaluable as adviser, coach and scout, President Ward and Manager Magee have practically assured Mur- phy of a long term with the Tip Tops. On the other hand. we have the cases of Earl Hamilton and George Baum- gartner of the Browns. These two star twirlers signed with the Federal league when their contracts ran out in St. Louis, but after receiving advance money and signing Federal contracts in good faith, they jumped back to the Browns. It was predicted in these columns that the Browns would be sorry some day that they had ever in- duced Hamilton and Baumgartner to return, as neither is of much value to a ball club, despite their wonderful natural talent. Since they have been in the major leagues neither has made Dbaseball first in their interests, and consequently have seldom been in pitching condition for any length of time. This season neither man has rendered good service and finally mat- ters grew so bad that Manager Rickey fined Hamilton $500 and suspended im indefinitely, and also suspended Baumgartner unti]l he gets into pitch- ing shape. Both men have ironclad contracts and threatened to take the case to court, where they have a mighty good chance of collecting, not- withstanding all arguments to the con- trary made by President Hedges of the Browns and some of St. Louis’ leading scribes. Thus it will be seen that the “chickens have come 'home to roost,” and it is not the end of the troubles for those who have induced dissatisfied stars to jump contracts. Dissatisfied ball players are of no value to a club regardless of ability, and if they have this sort of a disposition money only smooth matters over for the time being. A change of management or of teams after the double jumping act may help, but it will not ‘entirely re- move the feeling of irresponsibility that these athletes have developed.— Sporting Life. EDDIE BRIDGES MAY FIGURE IN TRADES. Springfield Colonials May Ship Eddie to Hartford. A deal is_in the works that would send Eddie Bridges, one of the Spring- field Colonial league catchers, to Hart- ford in exchange for Third Baseman Al Boucher. A few years ago Boucher played shortstop for Holyoke and in those days was a star. He drifted into the American association and out of it and last year played with the St. Louis Federals. The deal may be fixed up in a day or two. Indications are the Tips will use him at third base, but Mana- ger Ramsey hasn’t decided on that point yet, for he is a little bit up in the air on his infield problem. Tony Mar- hefka, who went down to New London Monday to talk over matters with Gene McCann, manager of the New London club last season, has not shown up, and 'hopes that he will return to the Sprinsfield club aere fast wither- ing. It is understood the Buffalo Interna- tionals are working hard to land Mar- hefka and it may be that Gene Mc- Cann may be able to get Syracuse, to whom New London sold the player, to allow him to go to the Internationals. Gene does not want to appear as do- ing anything to favor the invaders. 1 Marhefka does not play with Sprins- field, Manager Ramsey will have an- other position to fill, but he is well posted on the baseball market and may be expected to corral a good man if he has his way. Ramsey realizes that Springfield is a good ball town and he says he wants to have a good club there. A good pitcher, an infielder and an outfielder would help a whole lot, if this is not against the Colonial league financial policy. WESLEYAN WITHDRAWS FROM ATHLETIC UNION. Will Not Be Represented at Annual Meeting—It is Feit the College is Too Small to Make Creditable Showing. ‘Wesleyan has withdrawn from mem- bership in the Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic association and will not be represented in the annual meeting of the association at the Madison Square grounds the last of this week. This action has been taken by the athletic association of the college when the question of sending a team was brought up for consideration. It is felt that Wesleyan is too small to make a creditable showing against the big colleges of the east and that therefore the membership adds little, if any, prestige to the name of the in- stitution. The best record Wesleyan has made in the big meet was that of 19123, when Wendell, the star hurdler, by taking two first places for a total of 10 points, gave Wesleyan seventh place. The Cardinal and Black did not send a team last year, and would therefore have to be represented this year in order to hold the membership. Penn. Defeats Lafayette. Philadelphia, May 26.—The univer- sity of Pennsylvania baseball team hit the ball hard today and had little trouble in defeating Lafayette College, 6 to 1. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL MARKET DULL AND HEAVY. War Issues Fell Off One to Three Points, Standard Shares One to Two and One-Half. New York, May 26.—That the stock market remains almost entirely under the influence of war developments was again clearly _demonstrated todey. Cables telling of an accident to an American freighter off the Irish coast, resulting from the explosion of a mine or torpedo, served as a grim reminder of the Lusitania episode, and Wwere sufficient to give prices a sharp set- back, from which they made only par- tial recovery. Quite apart from this incident, how- ever, the market was dull and heavy. ‘With the approach of the time for the receipt of this government's reply from Germany traders show an increasing disposition to abstain from new com- mitments, particularly on the buying side. On the other sand, the sold-out condition of the market offers few at- tractions to the short interest. War issues were most affected by today’s news, which came early in the session, when the market showed a number of uneven price changes. These specu- lative specialties fell one to three points, while standard shares declined one to two and one-half, Canadian Pacific losing the maximum amount. Thereafter the list drifted idly, with occasional slight recoveries. In the final dealings heaviness followed a selling movement in General Motors and Rumely issues, causing an irregu- lar close. 'Total sales of stocks amounted to 410,000 shares. New orders for railroad equipment, together with authoritative statements that steel mills are maintaining their recent high rate of production, im- parted some steadiness to the shares but coppers shading of prices for the metal. More firmness was shown by the various markets for foreign exchange, due in part to confirmation of the re- port that ovr bankers had received large amounts of gold from Ottawa during the recent break in sterling ex- change. Bonds were irregular, with continued selling of low priced issues. Total sales, par value, aggresated $1,735,000. Paname coupon threes declined 7-8 per cent. on call.

DOINGS IN THE AUTO WORLD Automobile Business With Foreign Countries Developing Rapidly—Eight Cylinder Car Towed Giant Freight En- gine—Elimination Trials for 500 Mile Race. “In view of the extraordinary impe- tus which conditions in Europe have given to the American export trade, it is interesting to note the conditions of automobile exports,” says Mr. Wal- ter C. Marmon, president of an auto company in Indianapolis. This con- cern in addition to manufacturing au- tomobiles has been engaged in the manufacture of high-class milling machinery for over sixty years, and covering both has an export trade hemispheres. The automobile export business is interestin, continued Mr. Marmon, “because in the sale of auto- mobiles the salesman for the United States encounters a great many diffi- culties which are not found in other lines. The first and greatest necessity is adequate representation. Many manufacturers who have expected to sell their product only on the basis of dollar for dollar value have been badly mistaken in the costly experiment of developing business in South America and_other countries. “It is interesting to study the figures on automobile export comparing the export business of this year with that of last. Here is a report which we have received comparing the exports for February, 1914, with those of February, 1915, by countries:” especially Comparative Exports of Automobiles. Feb. Feb. 1915 1914 France .... 72 412 Germany .. . 108 — Italy 2 16 16 United_Kingdom 1,183 Other European countries 131 Canada 349 MeXiCO ....-.- 10 West Indies .. 138 South America 132 British Oceania 526 Astas R 131 Other countries 159 Total ... . 2,894 37232 “The value of the automobile exports during February, 1914, amounted to $2,46 while those of February of this year amount to $4,807,812. In this connection it is interesting to note that while during the eight months ending in February, 1914, 16,833 cars were exported, the value is estimated at $15,716,809, while during the eight months ending with February of this vear 14,108 cars were exported, the value reached $21,605,353. Practically all of this increased value is eccounted for by the shipments of larger and higher priced cars to the belligerent countries of Europe. From these same reports we note that_while the exports of automobiles to South America have increased slightly in number, the total value of business shows very little increase. However, the wise and far-seeing busi. ness man of the United States is working hard at present for future business, and the result will probably not be shown in the figures for some time to come. “Taking the experience of our own company with representation in prac- tically every commercial center, we are very well satisfied with the opportuni- ties for future development of the ex- port trade. I believe the establishment of the Pan-American congress at Washington as well as many other de- velopments in this line wiil have a great and far-reaching effect on the larger business institutions of this country. Not so much in obtaining business which has formerly gone to European centers as in the develop- ment of new business.” To settle a bet involving a consider- able sum of money, an eight cylinder car towed a giant freight engine a distance of -a city block, in South Bend, Indiana, recently. Ten persons were loaded into the car to give the wheels the necessary tractive power, and a two inch rope was used for the tow, attached to the rear axle of the motor car and about the coupling in front of the engine. At the first at- tempt, the rope broke, but the second effort was successful, and the 2,600 pound automobile pulled the 370,000 pound locomotive several hundred feet. Of the many touring sections in New England that are visited by thousands of motorists from the south and west every season, the White Mountains are the most popular. They are surround- ed by the charm of three nearby groups of the Appalachian , the central of which is called the Presi- dential range because of i Deaks mamed after the. early presi- dents, including majestic Mount Wash- ington. The many beautiful drives, walks and climbs in the White Mountains are described in various complete guide books, particularly that of the Appa- lachian Mountain club thathas done so much for this section in its forty years of active work. Mount Washington is regarded as the most notable peak east of the Rockies, affording sublime views, par- ticularly at sunrise and sunset, from its summit of 6,293 feet. The ascent is made by cog rail, by automobile or on foot from Bretton Woods. various Discussing some of the lessons of the war in regard to automobiles, H. Massac Buist, the English motor ex- pert, says in The London Morning Post: “The second half of the motoring year just completed has been one en- tirely composed of surprises. What may be styled the tailings of the com- petition season had to be abandoned at the outbreak of the war at the beginning of August. But such slight loss of development as might be at- tributed to that fact has been more than abundantly compensated for by the sudden creattion of more or less ;10\'91 fields of enterprise for the mo- or. “In South Africa we learned the value of mounted infantry 14 years ago. At the beginning of this war Germany made an early demonstration of the value of motor transport for infantry in_her invasion of Belgium. The time of the allies to utilize their proportionately greater resources in like manner is coming. “In_the meanwhile Britain, France, and Russia age making enormous use of motor transport for their ammu- nition columns, their commisariat services, for ambulance work, and for offensive purposes by the employment of armored cars by reason of Ger- many choosing the period at which war was to be waged, and the enor- mous scale of the operations involved, there has as yet been practically no time to design and build each class of chassis solely for the sort of work it is called on to do in active service. Elimination trials for the next 500 mile race, designed to set aside eight of the forty-one entrants in that con- test on a speed basis, are now in full swing, having started at 10 a. m. Thursday, May 20. Jimmy Hill, an Indianapolis driver, was the first to face the music in his special. He was followed in rapid succession by the rest of the field in the inverse order of entry. Three trials will be allowed each contestant, on dif- ferent days, if he desires, so that the final result of the tests will not be de- termined until Saturday, when the last count will be in. The entries, it is generally flgured, who will survive the ordeal, are as fol- lows: Carlson, Rickenbacher, R. De Palma, Porporato, Graham, Grant, Al- ley, O’Donnell, De Alene, Chevrolet, J. De Palma, Anderson, Cooper, Wil- cox, Resta, Babcock, Bragg, Haupt, E. Bergdoll, G. Bergdoll, Pullen, Ruck- stell, Nikrent, ‘Bugatti, Oldfield, Hughes, Keene, Whalen, Burman, Har- roun, Mulford, XKleinart, Klein, Du Chesneau, and Brown. Every time Barney Oldfield turns around he is driving & new car in the next Indianapolis 500 mile race. According to the dope, Charles Ful- ler, Oldfield’s backer, has by some hook or crook smuggled one of the German cars into this country, with the idea of sending it against every existing racing record. There is also a story that the machine was in England at the outbreak of the war, and needed only the ready cash to bring it over To all inquiries, however, Oldfleld and Fuller turn a deaf ear, and smile a mysterious smile that may mean some- thing or nothing. Speedway officials state that if Old- fleld attempts to switch cars at this time he will have to get the consent of all the other drivers, his move being a post-entry. There seems very little chance, therefore, of the deal going through, as Barney is feared enough as it is without giving him anyaddi- tional advantage. A few stars like Resta, De Palma, etc., would not ob- ject, of course, but these are in the minority, If you contemplate the purchase-of an ADDING: MACHINE you should Investigate ‘the new .

The scouts will gather flowers for Memorial day. Thursday they have papers to hand out to the public. The scouts have nearly all finished their second class work. The scouts are talking of making a wireless set which would give the boys something to work hard for. Second class fire tests are soon to be taken and this will make some fellows second class within two weeks. Troop N. 3. The Eagle patrol will have a meet- ing on Friday night at 7.30 and the Bob White patrol will meet at 8 o’clock when several exams in second and first class work will be given. At 8.30 there will be a troop business meeting. One new application for membership has been received, Troop No. 4. Troop No. 4 held their regular meet- ing last Wednesday evening at 7.30 p. m. Regular business was trans- acted, followed by a little bandaging. Three new boys were enrolled, William Shaw, John Stitch and Joseph Fletch- er, after which the initiation cere- mony took place. Troop No. 5. Scoutmaster Ewing of the Norwich Town troop has received his commi sion and the troop will hereafter be known as troop No_ 5. Many of the boys are now securing money for uni- forms. The troop desires to help the G. A. R. on Memorial day by solicit- ing all the flowers possible from Nor- wich Town people. Methodist Church Troop. The last meeting of the Methodist church troop was held Moénday eve- ning, May 24th. The meeting opened at 7.30, with a salute to the flag. fol- lowed by the roll call. The minutes of the last meeting were accepted as read. Sterrill Chase was voted in as a member of the troop. After the business of the meeting tenderfoot and second class tests were held. The meeting adjourned at 8.45, Some of the scouts will deliver pa- pers next Thursday afternoon to earn money for purchasing their uniforms. All the scouts should meet at the ar- mory next Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock to drill for the march Memo- rial day. Marching Practice Saturday After- noon. The next and final marching prac- tice for Memorial day will be held on Saturday afternoon at 1.45 in the state armory on McKinley avenue, permis- sion having been given for this by Capt. W. G. Tarbox, who will also in- struct the boys as to their part in the evening review on Chelsea Parade. All scouts will wear their full uni- forms. Mr. Pratt’s New York. The appointment of George D. Pratt, treasurer of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America, to the po- sition of conservation commissioner for the state of New York, is another evi- dence of a most encouraging tendency in American public life, Not so very many years ago it was the custom for men of recognized and distinguished ability to refuse publig offices on_the ground that they could not afford to do it because it would involve too great a sacrifice’ of private business. Fortunately, this excuse has become iess and less popular and every year shows an increase in ths number of able men who are devoting their energy to the country through the medium of public office, It is significant that these men are going into public service with keen enthusiasm. There is no suggestion of whining sacrifice or half-hearted performance of duty. They go into public service with eager joy because they realize the wonderful opportunity it offers them for doing work that wiil count for much in the proper develop- ment of the nation, Isn’t this the true scout spirit? Isn't it “service for others” on a gigantic scale? Is it not genuine, whole-heart- ed patriotism? Mr. Pratt has set a good example for the thousands of boys and men who belong to the organization in the building up of which he has had such an important part. $72,000 for Scouting. Pittsburgh has broken all records for providing funds for the develop- ment of the Boy Scout work. In three days last week $72,000 in cash and pledges was obtained. This was the result of the campaign inaugurated for the purpose of raising $50,000 in four days. So generous was the response that this sum was oversubscribed by $22,000 in three days of work. Some Ways to Earn Money. Here are a few suggestions as to vays in which Scouts can earn money: ‘Whitewashing cellars or hen houses, carrying out ashes or refuse from basements, beating carpets and dig- ging gardens, mowing and trimming lawns, repairing fences and board- walks, giving amateur plays or min- strel shows, delivering telephone direc- tories, soliciting magazine subscrip- tions, collecting and selling old paper or junk, such as rags, bottles and old iron, etc., running errands and con- ducting Boy Scout rallies. There are many other ways in which ambitious uts can earn money, How many of these methods are being em- ployed by your troop? White Sox Win Eighth Straight Game. Chicago, May 6.—A perfect throw to the plate by John Collins in the ninth inning enabled Chicago to win their eighth straight victory today, when they defeated New York, 7 to 6. Mul- len was on third and Maisel on second with two out when Pipp singled to right. Both attempted to score, but Collins’ perfect throw to the plate caught Maisel, retiring the side.

Cambridge, Mass.,, May 26.—So many experimental changes have been made in the first and second eights of the Harvard rowing squad that today in- quirers were told that there was no varsity boat for the present. ‘The aim of the changes, it is understood, is to put the first eight on a basis for four miles of rowing now that the shorter races of the preliminary sea- son are over and to put the speedier, but shorter winded oarsmen into the second boat. As a result of this plan Soucy and Talcott, who rowed against Yale last vear, have been brought up from the second eight and Cabot and J. W. Middendorf dropped from the varsity seats that they have occupied this season. Many other changes have been made, but according to one of the coaches, these will be probably made permanent.
