A. U, outdoor track and fleld carnival at the Great Lakes naval station. He had won premier honors in the nation- al games at Newark in 1916 and at Birmingham. Ala., in 1914 Today's vietory ended his unusual athletic career he declared he would = never compete again. Brusdage's triumph was achieved by stamina and versatility. He did not win as many firsts as k5. J. Thompson, a cadet in the Royal Air Force of Toronto, Canada, but finished well up among the leaders in the ten events. He won the shot put and fifty-six pound and scored a dead heat in the mile walk. Nine men competed in the gruelling séven-hour test and all finished but they were exhausted at the end. Brundage scored 6, 708 points on the basis of a possible 10,000. J. Hellum, a Norwegian athlete representing the Pastime A. C. of New York, was sec- ond with 6,419 points, although he did not win a single individual contest. Thompson, who won four individual events, was third, with 5182 points. Brundage's well-rounded performance is shown by his record for the ten events of two firsts, a_dead heat, two seconds, a triple tie for second, one third, a quadruple tie for third, a fifth and avictory in one of _three heats in which the 100yard dash was ryn off. The all-around compefftion divided attention with the national relay championship, which resulted in fea ture brushes in all five races, al- though none went to record time. Y. M. C. A. to Have Crack Football Teeam. . The local Y. M. C. A. having some fine football material, will try to put out one of the fastest elevens that Norwich has seen in some time. As the N. F. A. h‘v dropped the game the Y. M. C. A. expects to arrange games with Buckley, Vocational, Westerly High school teams, alho any other teams wanting games. In the Y. M. C. A. team will appear many former N. F. A. and Harddig star men. Following is the probable lineup: Left| End, F. Williams; Left Tackle, J. Kearney; Left Guard, J. Crimmin: Center, H. Hilderbrand; Right Tackl F, Cop; Right End Huseyey; O. B., T. Brewer; L. H. B, M. Fastwood; F. B, E. Wiliams; R. H B, R. Ben- nett; Right Guard, L. Billings. BENNY LEONARD HAD SHADE ON KID LEWIS | Newark. N. J, Sept. 23—Benny Leonard, the light weight champion, | had a shade the better of Ted Kid | Lewis, welterweight champion. at the | end of their eight-round bout here'to- | night. Under the New Jersey law govern- | ing boxing, no decision could be given | by the refere, Patsy Kline. Leonard | outpointed his opponent in five rounds, | Lewis had the better of two periods and in the other, the third round, honors were about evenly divided. Lewis did not turn the scales at| 141, the maximum weight on which an agreement wah reached, and Leon- | ard weighed 135% pounds. In the first round Lewis landed a terrific straight right to Leonard’s jaw which made him assume the defensive thoughout the round, in which Lewis had all the better of the fighting. Lewis had a bruise under his right eve when he came out for the second | round, and Leonard increased the dam- age. In addition, he hent a hard left |ing on a neutral field. CCAGD ATHLETE BEATS THE FELD. to the jaw. r The third round wds pretty even, but in the fourth Leonard had a shade the better of his oppornent. W Lewis had a shade the advantage the sixth by, offensive work. ¢ The seventh was Leonard’s round. during which he dodged some hard blow and opéned a cut under Lewis' left eve, drawing blood. i At close quarters, Benny twice had the better of the fighting in the eighth and dodged safely when Lewis rushed. Leonard tried to measure his man for a knockout, but missed inches only, when he tried a swing for the jaw. ‘The bell found the men locked in an embrace. FOOTBALL STATUS IN CHAOTIC STATE New York, Sept. 23.—With the open- ing of the eastern college football sea- son less than a week away, conditions in the gridiron sport are in a chaotic state. Although the status of the sport was adjusted to wartime rating earlier in the year, tae recent orders placing the entire student bodies of the vari- ous institutions under military control and training have complicated the situation. At the present time it would appear as though the schedules and training arrangements would have to be completely overhauled in order to meet the new requirements. According” to the general under- standing of the instructions issued by the war. department, football practice and play must not be allowed to in- terfere with the military training of] the students and the final word in such matters will rest with the mili- tary officer in charge of the training at the_individual.colleges or universi- ties. Such being the case, it can be readily seen that the time- allowed for practice and the playing of games is certain to be greatly curtailed as com- pared with the periods devoted to the sport in mormal times. 1t is probable that not much more than one hour per day can be allotted to football practice. Normally this would not be sufficient to round the players into_condition for stiff compe- tition, but it is espected that the ad- dition of military training, with its igorous physical conditioning, will greatly improve the bodily develop- ment of all candidates for the team. If this should prove to be correct, those in charge of the coaching will be able to devote Avirtually all of the practice periods to instruction in the- finer points of individual and team and on this basis should be able to place fairly efficient elevens upon the field. All institutions will be upon an equal footing, so far as practice time is concerned, which will greatly simplify matters, Somewhat similar conditions Lave prevailed at the United States naval and military academies for some vears, and no foilower of the game wiil deny that the army and navy have been represented by high class foot- { ball elevens both from a physical and technical standpoint. 2 The time allotted to the actual com- petition each week is, however, a more serious matter. The army and navy teams never leave the academy grounds except for the annual meet- i All opponents journey to Annapolis or West Point for play and this also holds true in the case of mearly ail of the canton- ment elevens. Such a condition is en- tirely out of the question at the vari- ous colleges. If all. were obliged to play home games entirely the &ched- ules would g0 to pieces over night. In many cases in past years the squads have been permitted leaves of absence from the campus of seyeral days in order to make trips to dis- tant gridirons. This was particularly MARKET WAS STEAT?. New York, Sept. 23.—The gradual advance in prices which began in the stock market at the termination of the liquidation caused by the restric- tion of loans, was resumed today at the point where it left off on Satur- day Opening with quotations fractional- Iy higher, the market responded to steady buying,. short coveripz _and stimulating war news. Except for oc- casional profit-taking around mid-day and a brief period in the final hour, the progress was maintained through- out the day, and the closing was ready absorption_of the stocks made available through “the profit tak- ing was an_indication of the market's strength, the recessions furnishing only a new level from which to start the upwar! movement again. The only notable exception in the for- ward trend was the weakness of American Sumatra Tobacco, which declined two points.

Bank accsptances ¢ 1-4 o true-of all intersectional games which involved railroad journeys of many ‘hundred miles. A number of these are to_be found upon the present season’s schedules and they appear certain to be cancelled. In a majority of games the visiting team can probably make the round trip in 24 hours, but longer periods of absence are likely to be few and far between. 4 Allowing teams a leave of 24 hours from actual scrolastic or military du- ties at the week end would permit the playing of most of the games already scheduled by the majority of the east- ern college elevens. Games that re- Quire a longer period away from the institution will ‘probabdly have to be abandoned, Owing to the many eleventh hour changes in the football plans and schedules it will not be as difficult to fill in such open dates as woulq at first appear. Until the mili- tary officers, football managers and coaches have' time to discuss the sit- uation, however, little if any progress in readjusting schedules is to be ex- pected. ANOTHER VICTORY FOR THE MARINES The baseball season came to a close at the submarine base Thursday with another victory for the Marines. The sea soldiers won one penant this year in a league of 12 teams, allof which were from the base. Last month the Y. M. C. A. started two new leagues, the winners of which were (o play a post-season series of three games for a silver cup to be do- nated by A. G. Spalding. One deague was composed of eight teams which played all games at 4.30 p. m. and the other was meds up of four teams which played at 2.30 oclock. The Marines copped first place in the twilight league us did the Base Cooks in the afternoon league. Mr. Bemin. of the local Y. M. C. A, then arranged the series between the winners. The first game was played Tuesday and won by the devil dogs by the score of 7-0. Mathis was in rare form and allowed the Cooks two hits and was never in danger. A fast double-play pulled off by Poseley, Pyfer and Jennings, in the third in- ning killed the only chance the Cooks ever had of scoring. The second zame was played Thursday and was also gathered by the Marines by the score of 9-i. In this gume Lyons had the Cooks under his thumb at all stages of play and was given perfect support by his teammates. The fieldmg of Breen and Jennings and a perfect ihrow by Mathis which nipped a runner at the plate were features of the zame. The scores: (First Game.) o Marines.

There has been a great deal of fa- vorable comment lately over the pro- posed tour of trapshooters in the in- terests of the American Red Cross. The idea for the tour as suggested by the writer to the most prozressive member of the Interstate Trapshooting association was that a team of profes- sional trapshooters make a tour of the United States and engage in exhibition matches against local amateur trap- shooters in the principal cities. This idea may be enlarged upon. For instance: | Two teams of professionals, five to a | team, might tour the country ang op- pose each other in the principal cities. One of these teams could be chosen | from the western trapshots and the other from the eastern field. Or a team of eastern professionals western states, shooting against the pick of the local amateurs in the prin- cipal cities. This same plan could be followed in the far west, with west- ern professionals shooting against the pick of the western amate: in ‘the larger cities. . Or two_teams—one of professionals |and one of amateurs—might be chosen to tour the principal cities as oppo- nents. There are a number of wealthy amateur trapshots who would no doubt like to engage in such a tour with the Red Cross as the beneficiary. Any of these schemes well advertised woulg attract thousands of persons in !;ery city in which the teams would shoot. b RACING CONDITIONS j IDEAL AT COLUMBUS Columbus, O., Sept, 23.—Ideal racing conditions ruled today for the first time since the present Grand Circuit meeting started. The program fur- nished interesting racing save for the free for all pace, Which turned out to be a very hollow affair. Billy Jackson took a mnew record of 2.04 1-4 in the 2.15 pace. Every one of his heats was paced in the same time. He was a very heavily played favorite to win, W. H. Parish of Grand Rapids, Mich., sold Helena Guy, 2.14 1-4, to Billy Crozier of Hartford, Conn., today | for a price reported to be $5,000. Mr. Crozier purchased the trotter for a.nl eastern patron.

EXTENSIVE BUILDING AT WOOLEN MiLL Most extensive improvements and additions are in progress at the Wi chester Woolen mills in Thamehville. The largest piece of work which is at present being done is the erection of a garage for which a building applica- tion has been filed with Fire Marshal Howard L. Stanton. The garage is to be 70 by 30 feet with cement founda- tions, concrete floor, brick walls, steel sahh and a wooden roof covered with roofing. The building is to extend south from the present building. Centractor C. M. Williams make the application. C. M. Williams has filed another application for the Winchester Woolen | company for an extension of the pres- ent_office building south of Shipping street. The building is to be the same style as the present building, namely of wood except the rofing which is to be of 3-ply rubberoid. The work of resetting the boilers for the American Strawboard company is being ushed to completion by Pe McWilliams company and will be fin- ished within a short time. The con- tract calls for new fireboxes and new | foundations. The foundations for the water tank at the State Tuberculohis Sanitarium have been completed by Peck-McWill- iams company and the workmen are now engaged in erecting the steel structure. The store formerly: occupied by N. D. Sevin is being thoroughly reno- vated and the floor is being raised and other improvements being made to make an up-to-date store. STATE BUILDING AND BUSINESS But three new incorporations were reported as having been filed with the Connecticut secretary of state last weekfi with capital stock of $62,500. We have to go back to the beginning of thee war to equal this low record. In the like week reported, with capital stock of of 1914 five new companies were $65 000.
