Modesty forbids us saying who really won the game for Taft- ville, but we received lots of valuable assistance from the other members of, the visitors—for instance Houston and Miller. M. Murphy and, Joubert played as good ball as théy know how for the Yannigans, which is tne official cognomen of the losers. C. Mathewson McGlone started on ,ths mound for the Misfits and for ree innings made the crowd think he was Big Six himself. He was yanked in the last of the fifth to make way for Simcox whom the home team touched up. for their other ten runs. We were unanimously awarded the crown as strike-out king of the day, but “uneasy rests.the head that wears a crown.” Houston was in the lime- light through lack of being able to use his fingers to count up the outs. He was trying to catch and-as his hand was_encased in the big .mitt he nat- urally couldn’t remember . whether there were two or three outs without straining his memory so he took a chance after a strikeout in the third inning and threw the ball out in the infield, taking off his glove at the same time, letting in a runner from third. Miller and the coacher went to was off third base and the coacher was asleep and he was caught flat- footed. We were coaching. Probably the one shining star of the game was Simcox and his star was _seriously eclipsed' when he tried to pitch. How- ever we have to give Simcox credit for his home run. He very oblig- ingly picked a time ‘when the sacks were empty to do the damage. An in- ning later when the bags were full and the men crying for a hit, he kind- ly fouled out to the catcher, Butthen it would never do to prolong the game all day. As it was the affair had to be called at the: end of the eighth which was much too late. Speaking of stars we must not forget “Glove- less Jim” McGlone who filled Simcox’s shoes at shortstop. Except for his errors he played a perfect game. Troe- ger, a kid from grammar school play- ed centerfield for the Yannigans and we fear has eternally ruined his rep as a ball player. Clish at third and Larber at second played good ball, especially "Clish and both deserve 2 further trial with the Shore Line. The rest of the team which includes Shaw, the first baseman, whose glaring er- ror does not nHeed attention called to {it ought to be released to either Wa- terbury or Worcester in the Eastern League. There is just one thing in their favor and that is the fact that for the most part they pounded the Picked Up Team Goes Down to Defeat, 21 to 13—Jim Me- Glone of Losers Pitched Fine Ball For First Three In- | s — £ deliveries of Mills, the kid Taftville pitcher, to all corners of the lot. The game started off in good fash- i l Base Clout—Gune Called at ion, the Yannigans putting -across two runs in the first inning. They got an- other in the second and ane more in the third and up to this point not a Taftville man had seen first. Hous- ton attracted attention to himself in the last of the third and Taftvills put across her first two runs. The Yan- nigans who up to this time had enter- tained visions of themselves crowing over the regulars failed to score in the fourth. McGlone weakened in the fourth and his support went to pieces, nine runs being scored. Simcox’s hom- er was the only tally in the fifth as he took the task of pitching and held the home team safe. The Shors e was blanked in the sixth but aftville found Simcox for‘five runs. The visi- tors scored twice in the seventh but Taftville scored five times more. The Yannigans in a desperate effort brave- ly supported by Joubert and M.

Demaree pitched a strong game | IRREGULAR Condition Was Ascribed to Foreign | Despatches on the Russian Situation MARKET WAS New York, June 28.—For want of a more definite or specific reason, the dull and irregular course of today’s stock market, was ascribed to foreign despatches on the Russian situation, which were so bewildering as to limit trading to the professional element. Prices were hesitant from the out- set, occasionally beconiing heavy on pressure against investment rails and recognized industrials. Abrupt flue- tuations “in specialties like General Motors, Sumatra Tobacco and other issues under pool guidance wers not conducive to general improvement. United States Steel was less prom- inent and moved in a more limited area,” closing at a loss of almost a point. Related shares werz influenced by the sluggishness of Stieel, forfeit- ing much of their uneven advantage in_the stagnant final hour. During the intermediate session metals came forward briskly on an- nouncement that the question of cop- per prices would soon again come be- fore the war board, but the market as a whole lacked leadership or bullish initiative. Sales were 435,000 shares. Further relaxation was manifested by time money and call loans were easier than at recent week-ends.

Pershing has turned that Jjob over to but one organization—the one best backed and equipped to run it—and we need not be surprised if that leader’s judgment is cindicated. The organization which ‘\1s under- taken this job is known among the; men overseas as the “Red Triangle.” It is the Y. M. C. A. of your own home town, consecrated to service and practiting a religion that spells just that. The Red Trangle is a live wire, full of American pep. Like the Red Cross its symbol is service and mercy and its members, although civilians stationed for the most part back of the front line trenches, have now and then paid the heavy toll. It is well that the American forces have an organization like the Red Tri- angle back of them. It spells efficiency in a large way. The Red Triangle has a rule it lives up to which counts heavily in the long run. It considers no one for work overseas who is eligi- ble for military duty. .
