Putnram, Sept. 4—Putnam won a 3 to 1 victory over Taftville on Morse fleld Saturday afternoon. About 1,000 persons saw_the game which ‘was marked by brilliancy in some of its phases and by medicore playing in oth- ers. On the whole, it was a good game tc watch and was thoroughly en- Joyed. Mike Donlin, former famous star of the New York Giants was at the in- itial sack for Putnam and his presence served as the attraction that drew many to the grounds. He played a good game, too, coming across with twe nice hits, one of which, driven over the right field wall, would have been good for three bases on an open fleld, but had to go for a single on account of the ground rules. tributed much to the enjoyment of the pastime, his work at first being close- ly studied by fans who knew him by reputation, but previously without an opportunity to see him perform on the diamond. Sheriden, for Putnam, and Norman- din for Taftville were the opposing twirlers. Sheriden had something on his rival and held the visitors to six hits, although a dazzling catch by Gallagher in left field for Putnam aft- er a hard run and a left hand stab in the ninth inning probably saved a tie score as well as ending the contest then and there. Other fancy fielding stunts that won hearty applause from the fans were contributed by Fallon and Cummings, the latter playing with the visitors. Paige’s timely hitting was a big factor in Putnam’s victory. Late in the game a Putnam fan who had been anxious to bet some coin all of the afternoon, created a diversion of interest when he made a swing at a vigifor from Willimantic who was, up to that time, busy in minding his own affairs. He countered heavily twice and in due course of time the disturbing fan was removed from the grounds. Among the visitors who motored in- to town for the game was Mayor Dan- iel 'P. Dunn and a party of from Wilimantic. The Labor Day games are with the Southbridge team, the first here at 10.30 a. m. Manager Cassent has the choice of Redding, the great colored star, Chief. Bender, formerly of the Athletics, and Andy Coagley to do the twirling. Sheriden will also be avail- able. The afternoon game will be in Southbridge and several hundred fans will pay their little 90 cents to make the round trip to the Optical city and re- turn on the special train that is to leave here at 1.30 for their accommo- dation. q 23 5 o he alrveonnosss NN | asmes, ol HeToowmmma Bl e mmon el Bluroruuions " oo Elowurouansl | comnoue. oo ZBlounmwmnes ; 1L ase 3 Rits, Fallon. on balls, off Normanda 2: off Sheridan . 1. out. by Normanda 4; by Sheridan 3.

Harrigan of the State Hospital was all night also, he twirled a wonderful game. The Newflelds have played through- out the state, defeating all the fastest teams. This is the second time that the Sachems have defeated them. A large part of the credit for the Sachems’ victory is due to Dan Mur- phy, ex-captain of the world champion Athletics, who coached the team from the bench. He will also coach next Sunday, when the.Sachems expect to take the scalp of Micky Finn's New London In- dependents.

Next Saturday the hospital team plays the Skat Co. team from Hartford and as these teams have wone one game each so far this season, a bat- tle royal is looked for.

Trading Was less at Opening— Later Became Acti New York, Sept. 4—All the familiar holiday ‘were presented by to- day’s two hour session of the stock ex- change. Trading was very listless and irregular in the first part, but became more active at a generally higher level later © with numerous net gains. Dealings were wholly professional, however, and represented to en unus- ual degree the weekly settlement of contracts, rather than the taking up of new commitments. Yesterday's revival of interest in the coal shares was renewed, those issues @bsorbing. the major part of theover- ern Maryland and Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke were the active features, the latter advancing 7 1-2 points to 66. In the final dealings Zanadian Pacific be- came active and strong, rising three points to 154 5-8. United States Steel also made its high quotation at that period, selling aat 75 1-4, 7-8 over yes- terday’s close. In the main, best prices were scored at the end, the market then showing a strong under- tone. Total sales amounted to 163,- 000 shares. Foreign exchange was a negligible factor, there being practically no detalings in remittances to Europe, except a few bills on London, for which a rate of 4.66 3-4 was quoted. This was a fraction easier than yes- terday’s close. Nothing more was heard about the foreign credit pro- jects now under consideration and definite details concerning this im- portant undertaking are likely to be withheld until the arrival in this coun- try of the British and French financial delegations. Among the day’s railway returns for July were Great Northern, showing a net loss of $545,000, with.a net gain. of $622,1 for. Norfolk and Western. General trade reports were more fa- vorable, the middle west and north- west showing greater activity in re- tail lines, these being stimulated by wheat crop prospects. Local banks falled to make the pre- dicted large cash gain, despite the heavy gold inflow, the acual increase being only about $5,000,00. At re- . serve increase of $4,300,000 increased the excess reserve of the record break- ing total of almost $210,000,000. Foday’s bond market ‘was irregular, ‘with total sales (par value) $1,125,~ 000.

Moosup, Sept. - 5. — Moosup won a sensational 15 inning game 1 to 0, from the Putnam team on the Carpet grounds Saturday afternoon. It was undoubtedly one of the greatest, if not the greatest game ever played In this part of' Eastern Connecticut, and the 4500 people who witnessed it were time and again .inclined to yell their heads off at dazzli fast' plays, but re- specting the bath confined them- selves to general hand applause. Pitching under the name of Sylvest- er, one of the hurling stars of the N. E. league, opposed Redding of the New York Lincoin Stars, who was in the box for Putnam. The game prom- ised to run into the dark hours of the evening when the climax very sud- denly developed with Moosup at the bat and men on second and third, Gagnon_at third for Putnam mad a wild heave over the first baseman’ heaq into the crowd.
