MOOSUP Jewett City Team Defeats Riverside Club, 5 to 2—Twilight Game Plan- ned—Death of Rev. John Oldham. A fast team from Jewett City play- ed at Moosup Sunday afternoon and defeated the Riverside club nine in speedy and exciting game on the car- pet_ground, the score beinz 5 to 2. Until the eighth inning both teams played perfect ball, neither being able to score a run. The first of the eighth the visitors started the pill roiling for several neat bingles and managed to Zet a two run lead on the Riverside aggregation. The last of the ninth locked pretiy blue for the home team with two out and a man on first and second. With things in this condition Larose, the outfielder for the local team ‘fook his position at the plate. The first ball thrown he walioped to deep centre for a tiree-bagger, scoring two runs, making it a necessity for more innings. The first of the tenth Jewett City started things moving again and when the dust settled the score stood 5-2 in their favor. River- side failed to get any more runs and thus a fine game ended with the jarge end of the score on the wrong side of the ledger to please the local fans.

WATIERS INTERESTING Col. Albert G. Slocum, 85, of Woodsille Finds Old Deguero-| type of His Father in Public Library—Michael Morrow, Negligent Husband and Father, to Leave For Camp Up- The members of the United States coast guard at Watch Hill Have joined with all others in that branch of the service ‘in expressing thanks to Sena- tor Peter Goelet Gerry of Rhode Isl- and for the part he did in the work that led to the promotion of officers of the guard under authority carried in the naval appropriation bill. Officers of the coast guard are most gratified with the legislation enacted for their temporary promotion in the naval ap- propriation act approved July 1, 1918, The senate and house naval commit- tees, of which Senator Gerry is a mem- ber, were very sympathetic when in- formed that thus far coast guard offi- cers alone among all the members of the fighting forces had received no recognition regarding promotion dur- ing the war. Senator Gerry was par- jcularly helpful in securing the recos- nition given the coast guard. Being a yacht owner, also son of the former commodore of the New York Yacht club, he has bad many opportunities for observing the fine work performed by the coast guard vessels and sta- tions. He therefore voluntarily took upon himself the task of actively help- ing through the legislation for their relief. Col. Albert G. Slocum of Woodville, who served on the staff of Gov. Austin 0. Brown, 1882-1885, now aged 85, son of Elder William Reynolds Slocum, who died at the age of 90 visited the Westerly public library Monday, In the reading room is a group of de- guerotypes of Rhode Island ministers of the long, lonz ago.
