This sfould be one of the best games of the season, as the All Insurance B olene piagers. The manager was ¥ of college players. siven the-tip that they are coming down all set to give Norwich a trimming. A letter was received stating that they| would arrive in Norwich at 2.30 p. m. by automobile. Following is the lineup: Dunne cf, Foleyk 2b, Atwood If, Dona- hue 1b, J. Meade 3bs Linn ss, Fannon rf, G. Meade c. Dunne is a former Collins- ville star. Fannon was Portland star batter in the New England league. Dona- hte played with Camp Hancock base ball team which Leon Cadore, now of Brook- 1yn, twirled. The two Meades are former Boston College players and are very fast. For pitchers, either Lenhoff, former Poli star, Pillion of Raleigh, S. C., South- emn League, or Gildea, of Wallingford will pitch. This team on paper looks by far the best team that has visited here this season. Norwich will not be caught naping. They have signed i new and fast outfielder. He is a speedy baserun- ner and an excellent sticker and will play left field, Eddie McKay going to right The Norwich lineup will probably be a8 follows: 4 Daoust p, Keller ¢, Stapleton 1b, Hayes | 25, Eddie Murray ss, Twitchell 3b, Bill| Austin cf, Eadie MeKay rf, Lamb, Law-| rena and Patten subs. Rest assured that any team that beats the Norwich bunch will surely have to play ball The management is corres- ponding with a first class pitcher who! is well known throughout the state and he may be seen in a Norwich uniform. Game will be called at 3 p. m. Riley and Levarge will umpire. Adequate car service to and from the grounds.

HARTFORD GRAYS AND TAFTVILLE WILL CLASH TODAY The Hartford Grays will lineup against the fast Taftville nine at Taftville today. The Grays are considered the best bunch of ball players that the Capitol City can boast of, and if all the goodthings said about them are true the fans will surely get a run for their money.. Either one of these pitchers will ‘be on the mound for the Grays, Dermott or Hyland. New London, twirking, with Coyle as his battery mate. Mills will be at first base, Belair at the keystone sack and Dugas at the corner and with Jack Murphy at short is the fastest infield in this section. The fielders will be picked from Ger- main, Caron, Jim Murphy, W. Gley and F. Gley. Manager McSheffery would like to hear from the Norwich Kaceys for a series of games. Taftville always haa the fastest ball club in the town of Nor- wich and the manager thinks that they still hold the crown.

New York, June 9—Bull pools held un- sisputed sway during the greater part of oday's active stock market session, their nore confident manoeuvers in selected is- sues being attended by the largest and nost comprehensive dealings of recent months. 3 2 Many extensive gains were registered in | the early and intermediate- periols. but | thees suffered material reduction in the al hour, when call loans rose gradually from 7 per cent, the opening rate, to 10 per cent. The optimism of the professional ele- ment seemed based largely on an increas- ing conviction that credit conditions are tending towards easement ; also the belief that industrial and commercial conditions are becoming more stable. News that the Gefman government had accepted disarmament terms of the allies was another factor of sentimental mportance. This was evidenced by the nch and Belgian ex- ended in more moderate ir weekly re- views. dwe! upon the downward trend of staple commodity prices. Ap- sroximately 100 articles of common use were lower by slightly more than 7 per cent. from the peak of last February. | In addition to oils, motors and their specialties, independent steels, tobaccos wnd sugars, the day's trading again em- braced rails of high and low degree at extreme gains of 1 to § 1-2 points. Sales amounted to 900,000 shares. Absorption of new Armour notes offer- »d further proof of a keen investment demand for mew securities.

Quite as great a marvel to the modern engineer is the problem involved in the quarrying of 50 enormous a biock of stone as the one discoveréd in Baalbec. This monolith is 69 feet long, 14 feet broad and 17 feet deep. Its weight is calculated at 1,500 tons.. Close at hand stand the ruins of the ancient temple of the sum. It is contended this huge stone was intended to form part of the building. 'This supposition is based on the fact that in one of the walls still standing are to be seen great slabs of stone which by actual measurement disclose a length of 63 feet and a height- of 13 feet. More wonderful is the engineering feat which placed them in the position where they are today, nineteen feet above the level of the ground. No of any cement is to be found anywhe: to bind the stones of this ancient structure. The slabs have been squa: ed so precisely and polished, that only after careful search can the joining be found. It is impossible, it is stated, to thrust between them even the smail blade of a pocket knife.

Reports from surveyors of the propos- ed_air route from Rhodesia to Cape- town say that ant hills have interfered seriously with the placing of aero- dromes. To understand this phenomenon one must understand how ubiquitous, is the ant in South Africa, says a bulletin of the National Geographic Society which quotes from a communication to the society by William Morton Wheeler as follows: “Ants are_to be found everywhere, from the aretic regions to the tropics, from the timberline on the loftiest mountains to the shifting sands of the dunes and seashores, and from the dampest forests to the driest deserts. Not only do they outnumber in indiv uals all other terrestrial animals, but their colonies even in very circum- scribed localities often defy enumera- ation. “One subfamily . of the ants, the Dorylinae, émbracing the wonderful driver ants of Africa and the legionary ants of Lhe American tropics, are high- 1y carnivorous, but nevertheless suc- ceed in forming immense colonies, often of hundreds of thousands of in- dividuals. This they accomplish by re- linquishing the sedentary habils so characteristic of the great majority of They keep moivng in long files through the jungles, capturing or kill- ing all the insects they encounter, and jeven overrunning dwellings, and, in their search for cockroaches and other vermin, driving out the human inhab- itants, From time to time these strange ants bivouac for the night or for ‘a few days in some hole in the ground, or under a tree, but soon con- American Chain Company Incorporated " 109% CLASS A STOCK The American Chain Company is about to create a new form of capital stock to be known as Class A stock.
