It was a great day for Matty, and he celebrated by winning seven more Yictories in a row, taking Philadelphia, Boston, Philadeiphia, Brooklyn, Chica- go, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati into camp, one after another . That victory was just about due too, because Christy had pitched and | lost his first game for New York on July 17, 1300, and went through the re- mainder of the season without a sol- itary win to his credit. Mathewson was_bought. by New York from the Norfolk club of the Virginia League and joined the Giants in July. The first time he went into the box was at Washington Park, Brooklyn, Matty went out when the score was a tie, 5 to 5, in the fifth inning, and when the Trolley Dodgers had two men on the bags. The Brooklyn scored both men, and before the trouble was over had banged Christy all over the lot, getting half a dozen more runs. Joe Kelly was the first National League player to face Mathewson, and got a pass to first. Bill Dahlen was the sec- ond up and made a sacrifice fly. Lave Cross singled and Tom Daly sent one to the outfield, bringing another man. Christy then hit “Duke” Far- rel and nearly caved.in his ribs. That first game in which Matty appeared might have been going ‘vet if “Iron Man” McGinnity hadn’t had that tired feeling and obligingly struck out. Dur- ing 1800 Mathewson pitched one full game, at the Polo Grounds on Sept. 18, against Chicago, losing by a score of 6 to 5, and twirled parts of five other contests. His subsequent bril- liant history on the mound is too well known to need repetition.

New York, June 10.—~Transactions in stocks today barely aggregated 275,000 shares, the smallest turnover in almost a month. Trading was restricted to the more popular issues, and bullish initiative was lacking. ‘Resumption of the German drive in the direction of Paris and indications of a continuance of enemy U-boat activity in nearby waters were the personal factors in giving pause to the market. Domestic influences contributed to the general apathy, the decrease of about 400.000° tons reported by the U. S. Steel corporation in unfilled orders for May somewhat exceeding esti- mates. This makes the fourth su cessive contraction since last January and reduces the corporation’s bookings to the smallest total since the early part of 1916. U. S. Steel moved listlessly within a narrow radius and closed at a one- point loss. Related stocks fluctuated in similar degree. but a few specula- tive issues, including Sumatra Tobac- co, Texas Company and Baldwin Lo- comotive, recorded variable gains. Rails were a negligible quantity, some of the high grade shares remaining in complete obscurity throughout the ses- sion. but shippings were firm to strong, Marine preferred making an extreme gain of 2 3-4 points and Atlantic Gulf 15-8, Call money eased perceptibly on last week’s strengthening of bank reserves and time funds for the shorter periods were in better supply. Railway ton- nage at western centers fell off siight- ly and business in those sections is waiting on an expansion of transpor- tation facilities. Liberty bonds yielded part of last week's recovery and Paris 6s rallied, but other interantionals were irregular, Total sales (par value) aggregated $6,250,000. gld U.

FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF FIRST TRIPLE PLAY First Unassisted Triple Play Was Pull- ed May 8, 1878 This year saw the fortieth anniver- sary of the first triple play in base- ball. history. It was on May 8, 1878, that Paul Hines, center fielder of the Providence Grays of the National Lea- | gue, pulled this stunt. Hines was play- ing deep center field on the Provid- ence diamond in a game against Bos- There ‘were Boston men on second and third bases when a brief fly was banged out over second base. Hines went after it, but it seemed an impossible catch, and the runners on bases started for home. Hines got the ball when it was within an inch of the ground, touched second base and then scooted for ti¥rd before the man who had been on that bag could get back. The crowd went wild over this feat, and baseball sharps predicted that it would never be re- peated. The prediction' stood for nearly a quarter of a century, but in 1902 Ha O'Hagan of Rochester, in the Bastern League, perpetrated an unassisted triple play at Jersey City. About two years later Larry Schlafly broke ini the hall of fame with a tri- ple play at Portland, Ore., and in 1906 Murch, of the Manchester club, turn- ed the trick at New Bedford. The second major leaguer to make a triple play was-Neal Ball, at Cleveland. in 1909. Carlisle of Vernon, in the Pa- cific .

Prisoners of War to Play Baseball Chicago, June 10.—American prison- ers held in twelve camps in Germany will be supplied with baseball equip- ment, President Ban Johnson of the American League announced tonight.

Thousands of women have taken to shooting, both in the field and at the traps, of late years, and they have proven welcome additions to the sport. There was a time when fair Dianas before the traps were as scarce as ice cream parlors on the Sahara Desert— but in these days of enlightenment women are to be found tramping the fields in quest of game during the hunting season and at the trapshoot- ing tournaments of importance. Women's eyes seem to possess a keenness fot quickly developing skill at the sport which they are finding so attractive. Here are a few messages from wo- men in which they give their reasons for taking up hunting and trapshoot- ing: “I believe every girl should know how to shoot, for a more health-giv- ing sport could not be found.”—Jane Sullivan, Los Angeles, Calif. It is only a’ question of tihe when to be a skilled markswoman will be numbered among the latest achieve- ments. And not only will it be a recreative sport, but a step toward woman’s independence.”—Mrs. E. B. Belknap, Wyoming, N. Y. “I've carried a gun all day in the woods, I've climbed mountains, waded streams and fought my way through green briar thickets. On frosty morn- ings I've bagged squirrels with hands so numb with cold I could scarcely break the gun to reload. “In the ‘bush’ of North Ontario I've slept all night on the ground, rolled in a blanket, while the rain pelted down.. For two nights I slept in a canvas tnet while comrade and the guide were off on a moose hunt. “Through all the hardships of hunt- ing I've stuck to it, for I enjoy it mere than other sport.’” — Mrs. J. Fred El- bright, Eldorado, Ga. g “Shooting is the best prescription any specialist could prescribe for that ‘tired feeling,”” says Mrs. C. F. Lass, Grand Junction, Col. “The pleasure 1 have received and the physical benefits derived from par- ticipating in the sport are so positive that I advise all women to become trapshooters. “Trapshooting is a recreative sport, suited to women, I firmly believe. Their presence at the traps will raise the sport to a still higher plane and in- crease interest in it at the same time.” —Mrs. Nettie King Burrows, St. Louis, Mo. “I have begn on several hunting trips with my Yusband, bat of all the sports with a gun, trapshooting is. to my mind, the greatest of them all.”— Mrs. Andrew J. Reber, Crafton, Pa. “One reason why the women who have taken up trapshooting are far happier and healthier than their so- ciety-mad or their stay-at-home sist- ers is the new comradeship that is found between husband and wife, brother and sister, daughter and fa- ther, as the case may be. And it is a good place for the children. too. Bring the boys and girls; the mord the mer- rier, and encourage them to follow vour example."—Ruth Alexander Pep- ple, Topeka, Kan. SPORTING NOTES The allies will have Wheat when Zack goes across. Ollie O'Mara is responsible for more than half of the Robins’ pep while they are in the field. The Shore Line and Taftville wiil meet at Taftville Wednesday in the deciding game of their series. Each team has won one game. The Robins’ infield is nothing to boast of, but the outfielders cover a vast amount of territory. Myers, Johnston and Hickman all being fast men. Jack Coombs follows the same sys- tem in his pitching that Matty used. He believes in getting his team mates do some of the work and doesn’t try to pitch every ball past the batter. Shanks continues to star for the Washington team both at bat and in the field. Every move he makes brings a big hand from the fans. Hits for extra bases are becoming common with him, The sporting editor of The Bulletin has received a latter addressed to the manager of the Scalpers’ baseball team. The letter can be obtained by calling at the editorial rooms after 6 in the evening. In his election to the captaincy of the Yale swimming team John Morris Hincks of Bridgeport has the addi- tional honor of being the first Bridge- port ma nchosen to lead a Yale uni- versity varsity team. That 30 00 crowd at the Polo Grounds opening day showed how much effect that war has on profession baseball. The only way to kill the interest in the national pastime is to close down the Spaulding factories! Champion Willard has had consider- able ring experience since winning the title from Jack Johnson in Havana. He boxed Frank Moran a year after for 10 rounds, and Moran discovered that Willard was ticklish. The weekly ball game between the Men’s Club and Tigers of Poquetonuck resulted in the score of 18 to 9 in fa- vor of the former. A voluntary con- tribution to the Poquetonuck auxili- ary of the Red Cross amounted to $2.25.

This extra hour of sunshine is a great thing for the golfer, It will give some of the duffers just this much longer to look for their ball in the long grass. Quite an import- ant thing with the price of balls go- ing up. Peter Sellas, one of our local disci- ples of the late Isaac Walton, has Leen showing a fine lake trout which he secured at Lake Winnipisauki, N. H., last week. The fish weighed al- most five pounds and was about thir- ty inches long.

Mana- ger Lawless of the soldiers has as- sured the carmen that they will not have to face Rice. Ashland met their first defeat of the season Saturday at Willimantic and it wag largely due to errors. All of which goes to show the futility of playing on a non-regulation field such us Ashland Park. It is a fine thing for the home team but it spoils them for another field. Carl Mays promises to be ome of the real stars of the American league this season. He has attained mid- summer from already, as his one hit shut out over the Athletics attests. Mays should turn in at least 20 vic- tories for the Red Sox. in the opinion of Boston critics who know his capa- bilities. The suggestion that golf clubs give ‘war savings stamps instead of cups and medals is meeting with popular favor everywhere and there is no doubt that the U. S. G. A. will approve the plan. There can be nc more harm in -that than in giving goif balls. Many clubs out west have already adopted this idea for the coming.season. It is. of course, to be presumed that Fred Mitchell, manager o fthe Chicago Cubs is quite grief-stricken over the loss of Grover Cleveland Alexander to the army. The snatching away of the world’'s greatest pitcher would make any manager weep. But—Mitchell can find solace in at least one feature of the Great Alec's departure—it offers an excellent alibi in-case the Cubs finish in the second division. And have' no doubts, Mitch will use it. “I can see no reason why the White Sox will not repeat this season the victory they put over in 1917.” Such was the enthusiastic declaration of Charles A. Comiskey, owner * of the world champion Chicago = White Sox and one of the biggest men in the national pastime in point of prestige. “Our club remains intact,” he added. “Except for the loss of Joe Jenkins and Jim Scott, who have joined the colors, we will have the same club that won for us the championship of the world last autumn. We have a veteran ball club, most of our men being married. Therefore we have lost few in the draft. And, also, we have no hold- outs.” An Indian athlete! Something ro- mantic, something ‘“colorful” always, isn't there, to the coming of the red- skin into the realm of sport? Car- lisle gave us its Mr. Pleasant, its Guy- on, and that most illustrous of all- round athletes—its Jim Thorpe. And a host of other famous gridiron warriors, it gave, too. Baseball almost | two decades ago. found its first real Indian in Soxalexis, that wonderful deerfooted Oldtown redskin whose kaleidoscopic career started at Holy Cross carried him into the big leagues with Cleveland, made him a national sensation for a brief period then plunged him into public obscurity when a racial passion—“firewater”— sapped out his power and sureness. Jack Skelly, who contributes fight dope to the Yonkers Herald, comes out with a story boosting the Willard-Ful- | ton fight. Jack says: “It takes a man of nerve, brains, money and great ex- ecutive ability to promote such a match as the Willard-Fulton one, and come out a substantial finangial winner in the end, under the present catch-as- catch-can methods. Any man who endeavors to conduct one of these big bouts has my sincere sympathy .and consideration, although he may blund- er or fail in some ways. If we didn’t have these enterprising, daring pro- moters, with all their imperfections, we wouldn't have any great fistic com- bats. So why not boost instead of knocking them?” We agree with Mr. Skelly that it takes_a promoter with plenty of nerve to stage Willard and Fulton. It also takes lots of money, but as to the brains we will not speak for publication. New Eastern National Forests.
