Seventh—Results of the Big League Games In the South | ——t The baseball season in Norwich opened in an auspicious manner Sun- day afternoon at the Falls, when the All-Norwich team managed by T. PFrank Callahan met the team trom the Submarine Base at’ New London and sent them down the river. with the small end of a 10 to § score. With one or two exceptions .none. of .the players seemed to have found their batting eyes. The play throughout the game was full of -errors = partly chargeable to lack of practice -and partly to a- cold wind which: chilled both players and spectators. The game, however, was much bet- ter than the average season opener, ana some of the boys showed.up in imid-season form. - Joe, Bush, ‘the Nor- wich pitcher was a little wild in the opening frames but he steadied down as the game went on and during the conrse of the nine innings he sent 18 sailors away from_the plate without & chance at first Weish. the Base pitcher had a shade on Bush umtil the seventh innimg When he got too gen- erous with f{ree passes and then made matters still worse by grooving ome to Rush, who smashed out a double with the bases full. This-hit, however, was really the only telling hit of the game as both pitchers had.the Indian sign on the Patters as is-evidenced by. the fact that Bush. was. found for four safeties and Welsh for six. Morrow, the first man up for . the Base, walked, and_stole. second, said pilferring stunt being nothing to braz about judging by the frequency with which it was repeated. Geeseman was hit by a pitched ball. Holder fan- ned. Stooks was out, Calkins to W. Calkins, Morrow scoring. Mentzer fan- ned. 3 Callahan smashed out a double in the serond half of the inning, but died on the bag. Neither side’had a chance to score during the second. In the thifd Holder and Stooks both drew & free pass and- immediately after land- ing on the bags pulled a pretty double steal, The next men, however, whiffed. In the Norwich half of. the inning SATURDAY'S MARKET Leading Stocks Attained the Highest Levels of the Week. New York, April 6—Under the in- fluence of advices from the battle front and the impetus given:to the third liberty loen, today's ..stock market strengthened in all quarters, leaders attaining the highest levels of the week. Trading was broader and more ac- tive, the total of the two hours far ex- ceeding yesterday's five hour session, from 1 to 2 1-2, points and among speculative shares the advance ranged from 3 to 5 points. United States Steel asserted its for- mer leadership, gaining 1 1-2 points on steady accumulation, including sev- eral Jarge indfvidual blocks. Shippings and petroleums were text in favor, Marine pfd, Atlantic Guif, Texas company and Royal Dutch lead= ing. Rails made up in strength what they lacked in activity, Canadian Pa- cific, Union Pacific, Reading and other investment shares gaining 1 to 2 1-4 points, Harvester issues, American tobacco, Industrial alcohol ‘apd distillers’ fea- tured the specialties at advances of 2 to 5 points, maximum quotations rul- ing at the close. Sales amounted to 195000 shares. A decrease .of about $16,750,000 in actual reserves reduced excess Te- serves to slightly: less than $45,000.- 000. Actual loans contracted by al- most $44,000,000.

Miller Huggins is the fifth National league manager to hop to the Amer:- | can league since the latter was organ- ized and, just five managers have gone from the American to the National. Frank ‘Chance failed in his efforts to give the New York Yanks a pennant contender. Phillies with fair success and thcn took charge of the White Sox. Patsy Donovan managed the Cardinals some fifteen vears agoand then managed Brooklyn with no greater success in either Jeague. He made a better show- ing when he managed the Red Sox in the American league. George Stallings managed the Phillies in 1597-98 and when the American league started up he managed Detroit and landed in third place. So it is seen that some of the managers who have gone from the Nutional league to the American have done better and some not so well. It remains to be seen just how the thinz will work for Husggins. . Gone But Not Forgotten.

He is an enterprising individual. Ford learned the tricks of trapshoot- ing from Charley Buad Tom M and Fred Gilbert—and he proved an apt pupil. Though he is bevond the age that, Dr. Osler said men should be chloroformed and put out of their mis- ery, Ford R only coming into his own. During the past two years he has made SO runs of 50 or bettér, touching tha “igh-water mark of 230. No other .mature shooter has been credited with many high runs. In 1918 Ford won eight amature high average trophies in succession, It was in the closing day season, however, that Ford did his best shooting. In five consecutive tourna- ments he shot at 1950 targets and hroke 1912. In going to these soots Ford traveled more than 2100 miles. He went from San Jose to Los Angeles. shooting there on September 16,17 and 18 at 200 targets each day. He missed four the first day, nine the second and four the third. At San Jose, on Scpt- ember 23, he missed four in 200 tarsets.

On October 13, at Phoenix iz., he broke one of 200 tarsets. At Ray, Ariz, on October 13 a squad_composed of Ford, Lee Melius, Otis Evans, W. A.

LEE MAGEE H*S, SERVED MANY MASTERS Blond Outfielder Recently Acquired by Reds Has Other Big Leaguers Tied to Post When it Comes to Shifting Club. When 1t comes to changing uniforms Lee Magee has most major league players tied to a post. No player of prominence in the big show has worn a wider assortment of uniforms than the liitle blond out- fielder who was recently traded to the Cincinnati club by the Browns. There are several players who have had versatile experiences, among them being Johnny Evers. but includ- ing his experience in the Federal league, Magee has Johnny ‘faded. Starting out with the St. Louis Car- dinals in 1911, Magee served under IHuggins for four vears. He then transferred _his affections to the Brookiyn Federals and got in on the .| fat salaries that the Wards handed right and_left. ‘When the Teds busted Magee was put on the market as a bait to the highest bidder, and the Yankees took him in for a sum said to have been $22,500.. In addition they handed him a fat contract -calling for more than $8000.per season. For some reason Magee falled to make good with New- York.

His recent shift to the Reds is his fourth since leaving the Cards. Johnny Evers might have equalled Magee's record for -changing scenery {had he jumped to the Feds, for John- {ny is wearing his fourth big league juniform this year as a member of the Red Sox. Evers has worn the re- jsalia_of the Cubs, Braves and Phil- lies, but this is the first year in the American league, while Magee will have seen service with two American, two National and one Federal league club when the 1918 season end: Other players who have shifted about are Hal Chase and 1d Konetchy. Chase has been with the Yankees, White Sox, Buffeds and the Reds. Ko- | ney has shifted from the Cards to the Pirates, Pittfeds and Braves. Arman- do Marsans. now with the Yankees, was formerly with the Reds, Cards and Browns. HARVARD CREW TO RACE IN OWN SHELL Abanden Plans to Row in Princeten Shell on Carnegie Lake. Cambridge, April The Harvard varsity crew will probably take along their sectional eight-oared hell when they go to Carnegie Lake, I, to race Princeton on May 27, | Racing authorities said today that the |plan to use a Princeton racing shell haq been abandoned because the “Ti- ger” boats ‘weré riczed with a star- board stroke, while Harvard's' stroke | oars were on the port side.
