The Boston combination will meet the New York players on Friday in six singles and thre doubles matches and the winners will play the Philadelphia team on Saturday, the latter having drawn a bye thus-avoiding completion -in the opening round. A number of the leading racquet ex- perts of the east will take part in the two-day play. The Boston team will be composed of Nat W. Niles, H. C. Johnson, Irving C. Wright, R, C.

Lawless, manager of the Fort Terry baseball team, has written to the sporting editor as fol- lows regarding the week-end games to be played here: Fort Terry, N. Y. June 5. 1918. Sporting Editor, Norwich Bulletin. Dear Sir:—You can prepare for some real baseball on June Sth, and 9th in your town. We play the Acad- emy team on_Saturday and the All Norwich on Sunday. Sam Rice of Washington will surely be with us this time as he is now out of quar- antine. The boys all liked your city and they are anxious to perform be- fore your fans again. The entire team are members of the new 6Sth Artillery regiment and we expect soon to leave for somewhere. We have strengthened our team since we last played in your town. We have Gusty, Bowers, Vincerit and Richards in the infield. ~All of them are in tip- top form and going better every game. We play the American Chain Com- pany of Bridgeport on the 15th of June. Stewart has recovered from the shotted arm and he'll be in there shooting them to second and cutting the old bag in two.

New York, June 6—Stocks drifted rather aimlessly during the greater part of today's dull and uninteresting session, but reacted one to four points in the late dealings, when support of the usual favorites was not forthcom- ing. Foreign developments and the war situation as a whole exerted very lit- tle effect at any time, these being viewed with further confidence, but domestic happenings were a more po- tent factor. Reduction of dividends by several of the porophy mining companies was not unexpected in view of the'refusal of the war board to advance copper prices anq further delay in announcing the progress of the mercantile deal occasioned no surprise. Rails were under partial restraint because of the apprehension expressed | by important holders of such securi- | ties respecting the proposed powers of the director general and their possi- ble effect on guaranteed net incomes. Lowest quotations were registered in the broader selling of the final hour, shippings, industrials nad epe- cialties, notably tobaccos, vielding to general pressure. Sales amounted to 530.000 ehares. All call money loans were made at 6 per cent, the hardening of rates being attributed to a_pronounced in- crease of demand. Time rates con- tinued easier for the short maturities but without any increase of supply. Efforts to stabelize Italian exchange | were seen in the firmer tone of lires, neutral remittances showing no mate- rial alteration. __Bonds, including Liberty issues, were irregular, Paris 6s making another ap- preciable advance. Total sales, par value, aggregated $6.375.000. U. S. bonds (old issues) were un- changed on call. STOCKS.

Ashland vs. Thread Co. For the week Manager Carpenter of the Ashland Club has scheduled two games with the Americar Thread Co. team of Willimantic, Saturday, the two clubs play on Recreation Park in Willimantic ana Sunday the Thread City players are visitors on Ashland Park, Jewett City.

SPORTING NOTES Popular pastime of ball players for 1918—enlisting in the nary. If the war puts baseball on the blink what will Hughie Fullerton do? It's funny how Connie Mack over- looked the chanca to get into the Bastern league. One nice thing about the wrestling game is that all bouts are “cham- pionship” contests. It's a pretty good bet that Connie Mack’s Athletics won't win the Am- erican league championship this year. The presence of Louis Litschi, the former Bridgeport infielder in the line- up of the Dallas club this season, is one reason advanced for that club be- ing a prime favorite to win the Texas Leagte pennant this year. A new “iron man” has made his appearance in the game in the per- son of Bill Doak of the Cardinals. Manager Hendricks has made up his mind to work him as often as possi- ble, and he can stand a lot of it. Col. Ebbets and the Brooklyn fans who is started off in first class shape with the Robins. He'll have to keep it up to earn his $9000 salary this year or give way to another first base- man. Temporarily, at least, Joe Pepe, the former New Haven shortstop, will be given a berth with the Los Angeles club of the Pacfic Coast League. He circumstances arose which gave him another life with the Angels. Louisville has finally secured Pitch- er Charley Boardman from the St. Paul American Association club. The deal has been hanging fire for a long time and the former Waterbury south- paw was all packed for a trip to the g’Veséem League when Louisville inter- ered. Commenting on the signing of Fred Walker, for pitching duty by the St. Louis Cardinals, a_St. Louis writer says of the former New Haven twirler: “Fred Walker will be cast adrift with the mystery of why he ever was sign- ed still unsolved.” Others said the same before the training season, but all admitted that Walker has a win- ning way with him and can talk a man into doing things almost as well as Al Bannwart. Huggins Has Sturdy Backstop. Miller Huggins has been unusually well fortified behind the bat since he first became a major league manager, and he begins his duties in the Am- | erican league under similar conditions. He had a great catching staff at St. Louis last season with Frank Snyder and Mike Gonzales to call upon, but his wories about catching will be as light this season as in 1917. In Al Walters the Yanks have the best young catcher in baseball a pep- pery player who can throw as well as Rav Schalk and hits harder than the Chicago veteran, according to the 1917 figures. Huggins has two. capa- ble substitutes in ‘Muddy” Ruel and “Truck” Hannah. Ruel is a play- er of the Walters type, while Hannah is a big fellow who can stand all sorts of work, play his position well and is a hitter of the long distance school. Coast Leaguers With Big Show.

YOU know how it is at a regular party. About the time the old folks at home are beginning to think about winding up the cat and putting the clock out— And the Jazz band is resting up to get its second wind— Then some bright little suggester says: “Let’s make a Welsh Rabbit.” Atta boy! i You drag out the silver-plated stew-pan and elect some gifted guy as head mixer, and he starts putting the things together. Never mind what he puts in it—he’s the only man that knows—but when he gets everythin, blended right, hats off to the Welsh Rabbit king It’s the word blend that tells the story. The blend idea has made Mecca the favorite cigarette with over a million smokers. There are twelve mighty choice tobaccos used in Mecca cigarettes—five Turkish and seven American—but you don’t taste the flavor of any one of them separatcly when you take a deep - drag. The only flavor you get is the good old Mecca flavor. No one tobacco has everything you want in a cigarette. Each of the twelve tobaccos in Mecca cigar- ettes is picked for a special purpose. One for fragrance, another for smoothness, still another for body—to let you know you're really smoking -and so on down the line. Here's how the still-blending process works. ‘The different tobaccos are not just mixed, but are placed together inthe blending-still. Then moist heat is passed through until all the different flavors are drawn into one—the flavor that has made Mecca cigarettes known from one end of the countcy to the other. el YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE A MILLIONAIRE to buy the total output of the Mecca factory for only twenty days. from the Salt Lake City club, is naw with the Yanks.

Times Have Changed. You'd never think that Grover Cleveland Alexander, who recently re- fused to join the Cubs until a little matfer of $10,000 bonus was settled, would consider an arduous 36-mile trip with a $2 pitching job at the end of it. Yet once upon a time he did. “Ons of the most enjoyable games I ever pitched.” was Alex’s introduction to the tale, “was at Aurora, Neb., long before I dreamt of following baseball as a profession, I wis pitching for Elba my home town, and Aurora was a strong rival. The teams were finally matched and so i.aportant was the game considered that some generous citizen of Elba promised me $2 if I would pitch and win. “To earn that hoodoo bill I had to ride horséback seven miles out from &uh&, l:':‘b..:xg 5: from there 11 les by stage e rest returning and I won that game 9 to 6. 2 ditious articles scription Act. against orders have been tile intent.
