There will be no more haseball this season at the State Hospital. The reason has been unavoidably very short. The first game was play- ed July 2ist and but six games have beer: played. For a time it looked as if there uld be no baseball but Manager Hal” Chase firally succeeded in rounding together a very crediable team and some interesting games were the resu Local the season ans will regret hearing that is closed as there is no team in Norwich vicinity of the Riverview club calibre. It has been a very poor son for semi-pro teams as the selective draft has taken away many of the players and this and oth- er unavoidable conditions have made it necessary to discontinue baseball at the hospital for the rest' of this sea- son.

New York, Sept. 13—Pressure on the stock market was less severe to- day, but the tendency was still dow) ward. New low points for the move- ment were reached by many stan ard shares, among which the roads fizured most prominently. principal opposing influence consiste of the -requirements of the shorts, Lwhich led-to buying on the breaks in sufficient volume to bring about tem™ porary reactions, and the movement as a whole was irregular. Total sales were 690,000 shares. Liquidation of inves‘inent _stocks, which has been the most disturbing feature of the recent declines, involv- ed several issues which hitherto have ot been conspleuous in ‘this connec- tion, but at the present price levels Tolders - were less inclined to press them on the market. There was enough of this selling. however, to check any tendency toward sustained improvement. _St. Paul, which sold down to_53: Readinz, Northwestern, lehigh Valley, Canadian Pacific, Nor. folk and Western and Baltimoire and ORio showed signs of pressure at times. That the decline was not carried further probably was due to the largze extension of the short interest recent- ly. -There was evidence of an over- sold condition in svots and toward the close the demand from the shorts became more insistent. resulting in 2 good rally in the last hour. Shipping shares were sold on news of . the reported loss of -the steam- ship Minnehaha, and broke - sharply. New Haven again reflected an In- creased demand, and Southern Rail- way preferred _moved up nearly 4 points under the infltence of the re- sumption _of dividend pavments. American Snuff broke 10 and South Porto Rico Sugar 21 points. The market for rubles showed greater steadiness today, following the brisk rally yesterday. ~After easing off slightly, the quotation recovered, ruling nearly three cents above the recent low record. The bond market was again heavy. Total sales (par value) $3,750.000. Lib- erty bonds sold at 99.90 to 99.53. United States bonds were unchang- ed on call, . STOCKS.

CARNEY Editor National Sports Syndicate. With each year the Grand Ameri- can Trapshooting Tournament comes a bigger sporting proposition. In the blue ribbon events of trap- dom held late in [August at the pa- latial home of the 'South Shore Coun- try club, Chicago, IIL, 798 participated and fired at 303%58 of the inanimate clay targets. 788 more than were trapped 2 Chicago, 1915, and 75,000 more than were trap- ped in St. Louls, Mo., last year. The Grand American Tournament is to-trapshooters wha: the “world’s se- ries” is to the baseball “bugs.” It is a sporting classic of equal to the baseball finale. ing carnival is & much bigger event than the average reader of the doings in sportdom is aware of. There is not another sport that be- shooters This is 20,- in the in importance trapshoot- 798 the con- testants pay all their own expenses, as the shooters do.

In those than a ton of powder. The shells and targets meant an outlay to the shoot- ers of $21,229.06. The entrance fees of the shooters and the purses offered by. the Interstate Association amounted to $20,000. It is estimated that the ex- penses of the 798 shooters to tournament would average $100 each— or, in round figures, $800,000. Speaking and large, this is a considerable sum of money for one week’s amuse- It only goes to show the size of the tournament and the great in- terest that is manifested. targets ‘were more the 2019.

The 2y 0% shooting was better this year than in any preceding year. Last year in St. Louis, for example, there wasn't one score of 100 in any 100-targét event In the Chicago Overture this time four shooters tied at 100 'and eleven more were tle at 99. There were so many 98's that only a half dozen of them got into the prize money. - The shooting was so exceptional that the shooters before the week was up were suggesting that the ‘prize money be spread over more places, that the money be graded so that it would go further and please more shooters Evervone likes to win—no matter Lbw small the prize may be. Another thing that will have to be given consider- ation in tournaments to corfie .is the number of traps to be used. Ten were used ‘at the Shouth Shore Tourna- ment, and with this number the pre- liminary and Grand American Handi caps had to be carried over to the suc- ceeding day. Carrying over an event is something the trapshooters do not relish. They would like to have the event completed the same dayv as it is started. .The only wav this seems possible is to have more traps. It is better to many than an Insufficient number, Arie a Remarkable Shot. Notwithstanding the young hurri- canes which blew over the traps at divers times during the week. the shooting was exceptional. ' Mark Arfe, of Thomasboro, Il averaged 96 for 600 targets, thrown at all angles. He shot at 400 from 16 yards and 200 from 22 vards. For the shooting he did in ties and in events prior to the Grand American he, averaged 97. Last vear Frank Troeh was high average shoot- er with 559 breaks in 600 targets. Clarence R Pratt, of Brideeton, N. . also bettered the mark set by Troch, breaking 568’ targets. Arie’s shooting was remarkable. He won_the Hercules *All-round amatenr trophy, ot In_the vrize money In the South 'Shore Introductory. won the National Amateur championship. and finished by tieing for first place in the Grand American Handicap. He broke 99 to tie in the National Amatenr Championship. and broke 75 straight to win the title in the shoot-off with McIntrye. the Pennsyvlvania champion: He was beaten in the Grand Ameri- can Shoot-off by C. H. Larson, the Wisconsin State champion. when he Fot out of time in his last ten tar- ~~‘« on the second shoot-off. It wa -~at victory for Larson. but no one take awav the credit that Arie <-rves for his great shooting. MORE HARD FOUGHT GAMES .NOW THAN IN OLD DAYS Big Leaguers of Today Play a Differ- ent Brand of Ball. The assertion by old-time ball play- ers so often heard, that baseball now- adays .doesn’t bring out the -~ hard fought contests or the classy basebail that the old days afforded has been made so maiy times that many a base- ball fan believes it Figures collected by John B. Foster seem to iean just the opposite way. 'or instance, when Brooklyn and Pittsburgh plaved their record-breaking 22-inning game in Brooklyn recently it was discovered that the longest major league game on record was played since the Ameri- can league came into the fold of or- ganized baseball. It was played elev- en yvears ago. While that was aldehy time back, there are players now in the game: who were plaving then. and they, for the most part, are quick to resent the statement that inferior baseball is pilayed nowadays. The same ords show that the longest previous tional League game was played in 1914, between the Pirates and Giants If these records don’t prove two fight- ing baseball clubs were taking part, then they appear to prove nothing. In 1910 the ‘American League saw fts greatest number of draw battles and the National l.eague had its greatest vear in that respect in 1913, both sea- sons within the ken cf the present day fans and fresh in the memory of younz and fighting baseball . player: The record for consecutive _extra-inning contests between the sarie clubs was estublished oniy a year ago when Washington- and- Chicazo mingled the circuit for 40 straight rounds in three games. Then there was the sys- tem of rules that permitted a batt to take four called balls, the rule thi save him credit for a_ hit every time he drew a base on balls, tire rule al- lowing fouls all day, if necessary, be- fore a strike was called, and the rule that gave the catcher freedom to stand far back and take the pitcher’s efforts on the bound. Comparing ‘those rules with the present-day set of laws laid down for batsmen and a considerable ‘difference arises. ' The ball player today doesn't take the long chances because they are impossible. Ty Cobb, favored by the old rules, would be hitting something like .600 most of the time. FINES ARE TO BE IMPOSED. Believed That Washirgton Club Will Be Transferred Next Year—Other Sport Notes. President Dan O'Neil of the Eastern league t.as received Umpire Brown's report of Wednesday's fracas at Savin Rock which resulted in the banishment | of Pitchcr Woodward ‘of the New Hi- ven club. and Shortstop Martin of the Bridgeport outfit. Brown in his report to the icague executive holds both plavers equally at fault, which means that O’Neil may slap fines cn the prin- cipals. Woodward, in commenting on the row, claims that he was justified in using force. According to Woodward, Martin hurled several remiarks at him that couidn’t be repeated in a family newspaper. Martin is ra2cognized as one of the chief rowdies of the league and has provoked more truuble than any player in these parts. To the fans it appeared as if Martin and not Wood- ward war the real instigator of the fight. Several years ago Bobby Stow and Jack Spratt,. then with Bridgeport, hurled abusive language at Umpire Mullaney, a big strapping fellow. Mul- laney lost no time in making the trou- ble makers a target for his swinging fists and ‘Stow and Spratt took = the count in record time. The umpire and players were haled to court on breach of peace charges. The court ruled that the umpire was justified in pro- tecting Fis hcnor and entered a dis charge, while the players drew heav. fine It might be well for President O’Neil to investigate more fully before fining Woodward. 5 3 The transfer of the Washington club to another city before the opbening of the 1918 ‘season will not down. in the present year it was reported on good . authority that the American league was anxious to make a.change and if arrangements could be made the Nationals would be ehifted this vear.
