Not to give Taftville the least chance of crawling out of thelr game in Jew- ett City tonight, Manager Dona Bal- lou of the Jewett City team has com- plied with Manager Roy's wish that a neutral referee be engaged and has secured Edward Deneh: who has handled all of Mystic's games this sea- son to the satisfaction of all visiting teams. - Mr. Denehey is considered one of the fafrest and best officials in this part of the state so Taftville has no excuse whatever now. Jewett City fans think this eleventh hour wish of Manager Roy’s was but an excuse for not playing as the re- fereeing in Taftville was not to be compared with that in Jewett City on Thursday last, the fact being mention- ed even in Taftville by supporters of the Taftville five. In demanding this, Manager Roy may be digging a pit for his five to fall into for no doubt bas- ketball will have to be plaved instead of indoor football, a game that Taft- ville has been pla¥ing all season, says Manager Ballou. Terry Turner, after 15 years of play- ing, is still an artist in his line. He began as a third baseman, played short for years and is now on second base for Cleveland. will come through. Oscar Tuero, Cuban pitcher of the Lynn club, now in Toronto, fears he may have some trouble crossing the border when it is time to report. Bill James finds that his once trust- ed right arm is as bad as it was last season. He will leave the camp of the Braves soon and go north to consult a specialist. STCCK PRICES SWAYED.

Philadelphia, March 9—The Balti- more Federal league baseball club to- day filed in the United States district court here a suit against organized baseball for $900,000 damages under the Sherman anti-trust act and the Clayton anti-trust act. The suit is the result of the so- called peace pact arranged between organized baseball and the Federal League. It is alleged that the Balti- more club was not considered in the peace agreement. The Baltimore club alleges that as a result of the agree- ment it suffored a great loss and in consequence asked for triple damages under the anti-trust law, amounting to $900,000. The bill of complaint filed today re- cites that the National and American s and their constituent parts and the National Baseball Commission have entered into a contract or com- bination in the form of a trust or con- spiracy in restraint of trade or com- merce among the states and through such contract, combination or con- spiracy, have caused damage to the Baltimore Federal League club in the conduct of its business, which “is like- wise essentially interstate commerce.” The bill further charges that the de- fendants entered into a combination to monopolize or attempt to monopo- lize the baseball business. It was sald by lawyers here.today that the suit has the same force and effect as the one filed in Chlcago mor & than a year ago and withdrawn after the Federal league and organized baseball reached thelr so-called peace agreement. Tho bill of complaint draws atten- tion to the fact that the suit against organized basebail was dismissed by the federal court in Chicago with the consent of the parties concerned and adds that the right of the Baltimore club to bring action for damages had been cxpressly reserved by order of the eourt granting the dismissal. The Baltimore club in its complaint goes into the history of the negotiations whereby the Federal League went out of existence and charges that the so- called peace pact eliminated further competition in baseball. The bill further says “The plaintiff shows that the acts of the defendants set forth were contrary to the statutes of the United States and to the common law and that the turther conduct of said business of baseball by the defendants in subordi- pation to the terms of the national agreement and the rules and regula- tions of the natfonal commission is contrary to said stattues and com- mon law. “The plaintiff shows that by means +f each and all of said acts done by the defendants In pursuance of sald contract, combination or _conspiracy d monopoly, or attempt to mondpo- lize, they have altogether destroyed | the business of the plaintiff and the plaintiff has been injured in its busi- ness and property to the amount of $300,000 by reason of the said acts of the defendants and the plaintiff brings this suit to recover three fold such damages. plaintiff claims $900,000 ram- I the Federal League club of Balti- mode wins its suit organized baseball’ will be in peril of attack by the na- tional government, it is sald. The dif- ference between the suit filed today by the Federal League against orgsanized baseball in Chicago, in January, 1915, is that the present action is one for damages only, while the first one was an injunction to restrain organized baseball from continuing certain acts alleged to be in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. To win the present action, the B timore club must show that organ- ized baseball, as at present consti- tuted, is in violation of the Sherman enti-trust law and the Clayton anti- trust act. If it proves this and re- covers damages, lawyers said tonight the government ma ke cog- nizance of the court's decree. The bill of complaint further states that, in the alleged conspiracy to wreck the Federal League. organized baseball “gave or secured” to the Brooklyn Federal League club $400,000 to induce that club to cease competing with the defendants and by cash con- tributions of not less than $5 “flattery and persuasion!

Cambridge, Mass., March 39.—A pro- At of $4,148 resuited from Harvard University’s athletic activities during the fiscal year ending July 31, 1915, according to a report issued by F. W Moore, graduate treasurer of athletic tonight. Football, with reccipts of $120,499 and expenses of $§35663, as usual, contributed largely to the sup- port of all other teams except base- ball, which showed a reduced profit of $3,468. The receipts from football jumped $25,000 as compared with the previous year, an increase accounted for largely by the opening of the Yale Bowl. Cash on hand at the close of the fis- cal year amounted to $34,180, as com- pared with $36,555 the previous year. Treasurer Moore explained the = de- crease as principally due to the fact that a final payment was made on the athletic association’s loan on the sta- dium. The lack of a great indoor fleld, a swimming tank and a skating rink are handicaps in the winter months, ac- cording to the report. The treasurer suggested the idea of building a rink in Cambridge as worl of serious consideration. INSURED PARCELS. Complaints to Post Office Department That Senders Fail to Receive Return Receipt: A notice has been issued by the post office department at Washington that many complaints have been registered there because senders of insured par- cel post packages have not received return receipts. The department’s or- der_follows: “Many complaints are being received by the department because of the fail- ure of senders to receive return re- ceipts for insured parcels. The negli- gence of postal employes in furnish- ing such receipts is at the present time the most serious irregularity in con- nection with the insurance service and all postmasters are therefore enjoined to enforce a strict observance of the postal laws on this point. “To obtain the best results, patrons who desire return receipts for their insured parcels should be requested to Place the endorsement, ‘Return re- ceipt desived,’ conspicuously on both the wrapper and tag, immediately above the name of the addressee, sc that it ‘will attract atention at the office of address when the parcel is examined to ascertain whether a re- turn receipt must be obtained upon delivery.” STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT TENER OF NATIONAL LEAGUE Satisfied Nothing Was Done in Viola- tion of Anti-Trust Laws. New York, March 9.—President Ten- er of the Naiional League, when in- formed of the suit filed in Philadelphia today by the Baltimore Federal League baseball club, said: )rganized baseball conducted its an adjustment s, not with the . any individual club or person representing a_smngle club or interest, but rather with the Federal League as an organization. It was our understanding that the Federal League was acting for all its compo- nent clubs and had proper authority to so act in everything that was done toward a settlement of all conditio In effecting an adjustment of baseball conditions we are satisfied we did nothing inconsistent with the Sherman ti-trust act or Clayton act. There- fore, we fail to see where we are lia- ble as set forth in the suit of the Bal- timore Federal League club.” WEST MYSTIC WOMAN SUED.

When the barber dabs a few drops of witch hazel on a freshly and more or less smoothly shaven face, the cus- tomer does mot often turn his thoughts to what witch hazel ls or where and how it is produced. The production of h hazel—that is, the fluid which is not the witch hazel of the low and swamp woods but the witch hazel of commerce—amounts to 25,000 barrels, or about 5,000,000 quarts a year, and the greater part of that volume is pro- duced in eastern Middlesex county, Connecticut. In New York state a little witch hazel is distilled, and New Hampshire and Massachusetts makes a small amount. The home of the witch hazel industry is along the lower arts of the Connecticut river and westward along the shore of Long Island sound. Middlesex county might properly be called the birthplace of the commer- cfal witch hazel distilling industry. An authority on the history of this subject says ‘The Rev. Thomas Dickinson s B St D i SRR ODL e The operation in Mexico are proving the value of aeroplanes in scouting op- erations in so broken and mountainous a country, lmwh no demonstrations of the efiicacy the P Syies mesytas | T in warfare were needed after its ex- tensive use in Europe.
