TRIPLE PLAY FEATg,fiE OF'FAST GAME Taftville and Jewett City met Sat- urday in one of the fastest games of the season. Both teams played strong ball and looked as if neither side was going to score within the alotted time. The game ran scoreless up to the last half of the ninth, when with two men on bases and two down, Dugas of Taftville cracked out a beautiful liner over third, sending home the only run of the game. Up to the first of the fourth fnning neither team succeeded in getting a man past second. Jewett City went to bat and with a man on first agd third and none down it looked as'if they would score. Liberty bunted a pot fly to DeMara, who sent the ball to third, and Dugirs at third shot it across to Mills at first, tripling the play. It was a swift piece of work and won its due of ap- plause. DeMara of Taftvillefand Liberty of Jewett City both pitched a good game, allowing but few scattered hits to either team. . NO VARSITY FOOTBALL AT DARTMOUTH COLLEGE Hanover, N.

In making this announcement tonight, the Dartmouth athletic council said that the football schedule already ar- ranged for thig season had been can- celled.

Sheet Packing BURNS HEATISG ARD PLUMBING some quarters to reflect a stronger in- vestment position. The opinion was emphasized by the bank statement, which showed the expected improve- ment in monetary conditions, surplus reserves having increased $10 580,950 during the week. This condition op- erated to the advantage of stock ex- change borrowers, funds being more freely supplied during the week, which caused an expansion of $72,645,000 in the loan account. The scope of the buying movement was interpreted as indicating some ac- cession of outside orders, which con- tributed to a comprehensive advance in speciagtes of one to three points. Dealings, however, were largely of a professional character, with more gen- eral buying for the long and short ac- count. The sluggishness of railroads in view of <he demonstration of strength elsewhere was considered dis- appointing to investment interests. Sales amounted to 140,000 shares.

Physical- ly, Lewis shas the advantagze of height and reach, but if Leonard’s work as army camp instructor has not dulled his speed, he will he faster in action than his opponent. ‘Leonard also is a shade better in defensive work than Lewis. _Another factor which may help the lightweight champion is that he has a great deal to gain and noth- i':lg to lose on the outcome of the bat- le. If Leonard should score a knockout. he would earn the unique record of having defeated the champions in three classes, including Freddy Walsh and Johnny Kilbane, within a period of sixteen months. 3 BROWN IS TO PLAY ITS FOOTBALL SCHEDULE ,According to’Harry Schumaker in the New York Globe, Brown univer- sity is the latest college to fall in line in an attempt to farry out some sort of a football scheduled for the com- ing season: Ned Robinsor, coach of the Rhode Islangd institution, came out with the following statement regarding gridiron plans: “I am completely in the dark” he said, “as to the amount and quality of the material available, but you may depend upon it we'll have a team of some sort. Out football activities will not be permitted to interfere in any way with our military programme, but the two games were harmoniously maintained last season and I believe that the same working 'arrangement can be had again this fall. “It has always bzen my belief that football is the finest possible medium for the development of real fighting men, and Brown’s contributions to the armed forces of our country bear me cut in this contention. A considera- ble majority of the members of our 1915 and 'l16 teams are holding com- missions in some branch of the ser- vice, and many of the players of last vear’s outfit have been equally fortu- nate.” Games between Brown and Rhode Isiand State, Trinity, Vermont, Col- zate, Syracuse, Swarthmore, Colby and Dartmouth have already been ar- ranged, the opening game being sche- duled Oct, 5. FANS GET SORE OVER ASHLAND TEAM PROMISES Norwich and other eastern Connsc- ticut baseball fans are getting tired of hearing promises from the Ashland team of Jewett City of Sunday base- ball games that are never ylayed. Ye terday they missed fire on the prom- ised game with the Groton Iron Works team and on a previous Sund: the same diccnnontinT exper a big crowd that had assembled. e manaseiwicn. gave the money back to those who had bought tick- ets, but on a previous occasion they attempted to pass out rainchecks good the following Sunday. But they came back to the “money back” plan when the crowd kicked. - It's not so much spending the mon- ey that the fans say they are kicking about as it is the belief they have that the Ashland people have at times advertised games that they had no reasonable certainty of pulling off. One instance of this is stated in a game that was announced to be piaved with Fort Terry. Announcéd baseball cele- brities also have not appeared but have been replaced by local players.

PUGILISTS ANSWER CALL OF UNCLE SAM Men of the National Army have be- come so enthusiastic over the sports provided at the camps by the commis- sion on training camp activities that the war department has decided to en- large and increase the number of ath- letic fields. Reports received from alil camps show that thousands of men take part in the games, with basebali, of course, in the lead. More than 70,000 baseballs and 3,000 bats have been sent to the camps, with gloves, masks and chest protec- tors. New baseball diamonds have in her cup for our smokes.

So great has become the demand for instruction that in one camp more than 800 assis- tant boxing instructors are kept busy.
