PUTNAM DEFEATS KILLINGLY
' ... . ;
In Post-Season Basketball Series for the Title of Quinebaug
League Score 22 to 21 Danielson Five Enters Protest.
(JSperfalto Trtie-Dmietin.)
Danielson, March 11. The Putnam
High school basketball team defeated
Killingly Hlgfh school 22 to 21 Satur
day night In the second game of the
post-season series for the champion
ship ot the Quinebaug Valley league.
This second straight defeat of the
KUHngly team by Putnam should bave
given Putnam the championship and
the silver trophy cup, but the game
has been protested by Killingly and
the paints at Issue must be threshed
out at a league officials "meeting this
week. Kilttingly'a protests are that a
field goal shot by Reddy, captain of
the Killingly team. Just as a foul was
called on Putnam, should count, the
game officials disallowing it, contrary
to the rules, it is claimed, and that the
two points for the basket should have
counted Just the same as did the sin
gle point that Reddy registered when
he threw the foul basket that came as
the result of the play; that Putnam
Violated a league officials' agreement
when the put Angell, a trade school
high school player, into the lineup,
and that Willey, referee, and Belle
rose, umpire, are incompetent- offi
cials, it also being charged that Belle
rose has throughout the season been
inclined to favor Putnam.
"Whatever the merits of the contro
versey that now develops, and it is a
very certain thing that Killingly and
Putnam never will agree over all the
points at issue, the feeling aroused is
Injurious to high school athletics.
The game was very fast and furi
ously contested from start to finish.
The hall was jammed with supporters
of both teams ma.t racKeT-aeafen-Ing
every minute, Putnam supporters
disregarding an implied agreement not
to indulge in any such din as was the
case when they last came here, al
though they kept Killingly supporters
muzzled (almost) at the game in Put
nam. Killingly isn't entitled to any
compliments, either, for being quiet at
either game.
As for the game itself, as & contest,
lit was exciting enough to suit toe most
rabid. At the end of the first half
Killingly was leading 18 to 11. In the
second half Putnam gradually crawled
trp and eventually passed Killingly.
Captain Reddy, who was put out of
the game in Putnam after exchanging
blows with Captain Lowe of the Put
nam team, who again ejected Saturday
night afer taking a wallop at Lom
bardo. who, it is claimed by one ol
the Killingly men, first tried to hit
Reddy and missed. Incidentally, it 1
admitted that Reddy should have been
put out of the game before he was fot
personal faults. With him, say the
same critics, should have gone Angell,
the big husky player that Killingly
Claims Ineligible. Angell's "riding"
was what was objected to.
From men Danielson men who are
good judges of basketball and good
sports, too comes the opinion that the
Putnam team had a shade on Killing
ly in that the visitors were stronger
and able to stand the gaff of a gruel
ing game better and that they did.
Whatever justification there may be
for Killingly's protests, and there cer
tainly is Justification at least ex far as
the inefficiency of the referee and um
pire of the game Is concerned, many
followers of the sport here would pre
fer to band- Putnam the championship
and the cup and add a cheer for the
victors rather than have a team of this
town accused of whining when it Is
whipped. But this is a school affair
and Hs adjustment lies with school and
league officials, not with the fans.
With the word that neither Willey nor
Bellerose are competent officials, this
also admitted by many in Putnam, the
adjustment if possible of the differ
ences will he awaited with interest.
Referee Willey stirred up such re
sentment among Killingly fana that
they tried to "get" him before he left
the hall, and be and Umpire Bellerose
had to be accorded police protection
while boarding a car for their respec
tive homes in Webster and North
Groavenordale. Their danger, how
ever, was from the crowd, not from
students.
The weakness of Killingly's case Ilea
in that It did not protest Angell before
he played, if at all, it being known
that ne was going to play, and that the
ability of Willey and Bellerose as bas
ketball officials was also known from
experience throughout the season.

A Free Prescription

Do you wear glasses? Are you a
victim of eye-strain or other eye-weaknesses?
If so, you will be glad to know
that there Is real hope for you. Manv
whose eyes were failing say they have

fine all the time. It was like a miracle
to me." A lady who used it says:
"The atmosphere seemed hazy with or
without glasses, but after using this
prescription for fifteen days everything
seems clear. I can even read fine print
without glasses." It is believed that
thousands who wear glasses can now
discard them in a reasonable time, and

1 FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL I
SATURDAY'S MARKET.
Short Session Was Affected by the In
ternational Aspect.
New York, March 11. Mexican af
fairs and reports of further submarine
activities in the European war zone
clouded today's short session of the
stock exchange, the trading element
evidently viewing these developments
with misgivings, while investors held
altogether aloof. Prices were mainly
higher at the opening, but as usual
gains were almost wholly restricted to
specialties and denoted manipulation
rather than actual demand.
Crucible Steel led the list on its
brief advance, but fell back later when
the market receded under selling of
Reading, New lork Central and South
crn Pacific. Metal shares were tem
porarily lifted to higher levels, with
especial aotivity in American Zinc and
Butte and Superior, but these issues
also lost ground.
The last half of the session was ex
tremely apathetic, with material recov
eries from minimum prices of the first
hour, chiefly as a result of short cover
ing. United States Industrial Alcohol
was prominent among the high priced
specialties, gaining 4 1-4 points, but
losing more than half of this later.
The partial betterment toward the
close was ascribed to an authoritative
denial by an international banking
house of recent rumors that another
large international credit was contem
plated. Total sales of stocks amounted
to 238,000 shares.
Steadiness was shown by Americans
in the London market, but reports
were current of further offerings of
these Issues for German and Dutch ac
counts. There was nothing In the rate
of exchange, however, to bear out such
reports.
Week end news of a general charac
ter included the reviews of the mer
cantile agencies, which were of the
same hopeful tenor as those of recent
weeks, showing sustained activity in
numerous lines of industry and un
abated demand.
Local bank loans ehowed an actual
decrease of $18,464,000, with an in
crease of about $31,000,000 in demand
and time deposits and a slight decrease
of reserves.
Bonds were steady on very light of
ferings. Total sales, par value, aggre
gated $1,110,000.
United States bonds weer unchanged
on call during the week.

Jess Will Have to Train Now Without
Charging at Gate.
Hereafter Jess Willard will have to
reduce without recompense. In other
words, he will perspire freely.
Fred wenck. chairman of the Box
ing Commission, decided to punlBh the
champion fcaturday in Psew York when
he refused to meet Al Reich. More
over, the Pioneer Sporting club was
suspended for thirty days.
The story was sent out several days
ago that Tom Jones had agreed to pay
Al Reich $500 to act as Willard's spar
ring partner. Further than that, the
story was circulated that Reich had
an Idea he could show up the cham
pion and might endeavor to put over a
punch with more than the usual prac
tice steam behind It.
Upon the chance of seeing Willard
dented, the biggest crowd of the sea
son turned out. During the last week
the Pioneer Club has been comfort
ably filled at each practice session, al
inough the charge Is 25 .cents.
Two Thousand Fans There.
Almost two thousand persons gath
ered Saturday to see Willard take his
sparring partners on and his weight
off. The fans stood three and four
deep behind the last row of chairs.
Fred Wenck arrived while the spec
tators were still edging their way to
ward the door in long lines. After ut
tering the magic password, he entered
the club, only to find that, althoueh
Reich had reported for work. Willaird'
had refused to punch any part of him
Reich argued that his body had been
sold for the afternoon, but Jess insist
ed that he would box only with his
mends.
The champion explained that he did
not like to fight with a stranger while
Tom Jones was away, and Jones is 111
in his room, at the Colonial Hotel.
Wenck told the house committee of
the Pioneer Club that a sign should
he displayed informing the mibllc that
Reich and Willard would not meet
The committee failed to obey this or
der. The performance was a routll
one, but shorter than usual.
It must be admitted that Jess made
Walter Monahan's mouth bleed a lit
tle, but on the other hand, he did not
pull the chest weights or exercise his
abdomen in spite of the fact that hith
erto these diversions had always been
considered part of the afternoon s en
tertainment.
Just before Willard entered the ring
Benny Rosenthal announced that the
champion would meet a formidable
list of foemen consisting of Jack Hem
pie. Boer Rodel and Walter Monahan
inclusive. The crowd was angrv and
shouted for Reich, who is often known
as tne Manhattan Adonis, for no very
evident reason. Rosenthal dumblv
pointed to Monahan. Rodel and Hem-
pie. They were well enough in their
way, tut neither singly nor collective
ly did they suggest Adonis.
"We want Reich." shouted the crowd.
Jess May Go to Chicago.
Willard punched Hemnle in the, farm
with unaccustomed vigor and cuffed
him roundly on the neck, but the
crowd refused to forget the lost idol,
While Jtss was heavilv waltzinc
around tho ring with Rodel. Fred
Wenck called him out of a clinch and
informed the champion that if he did
not meet Reich he would have to train
In private hereafter. Jess showed no
anxiety aDout the curtailment of quar
ters.
"All right," he said, "that suits me,"
ana wanted back to his clinch.
Jack Curley said at the end of the
session he was sure the crowd had
turned out to see willard and not
Reich. He said in all probability Jess
would now return to Chicago and fin-
isn nis training there.
"It's no use for thes -people trying
to bluff Jess." he explained. "FTei won't
stand for it They can call the whole
ngnt off it they want to. Jess don
care.' p

There is No Better Defense? Prepara
tion, Says Rev. E. George Biddle.
There can be no better preparation
for the perpetuity of a nation than In
dealing Justly with all people of the
government. Unfortunately it must be
confessed that our government deals
unjustly with the negro race, a race
that has always been loyal, patriotic
and true to the flag, even when the
flag sheltered the infamous slave sys
tem, said Rev. E. George Biddle. pastor
of the MeKinley avenue A. M. E. Zlon
church, Sunday evening before a good
sized congregation.
In part. Rev. Mr. Biddle said:
The entire country, north, south.
east and west .is agitated over the
subject of preparedness for defensive
war. Not that there Is any sentiment
abroad for aggressive warfare, but that
we should be prepared to defend our
land, our possessions and our commerce.
This we think is seasonable and
right, lust as it is for man to defend
from assault hi home, the honor of
his wife and children. This Is In keep
ing with the teaching of rhe Bible as
we understand It.
So we think the pulpit should stand
with those who are urging essential
and needful preparation to meet any
assault that might be made against us
as a nation.
There can be no better preparation
for the perpetuity of a nation than In
dealing Justly with all the people of
the government. unfortunately it
must be confessed that our government
deals unjustly with the negro race, a
race that has always been loyaL pa
triotic and true to the flag, even when
the flag sheltered the Infamous slave
system.
As a race we never furnished an
assassin or an anarchist, and yet we
are discriminated against most out
rageously. Doors of honor and profit
are cloned against us simply on ac
count of our color.
No colored men are allowed In the
artillery and coast defense. Is this
dealing Justly with a loyal people? The
doors of West Point and Annapolis are
closed against us, thus preventing and
hindering the proper development of
the race. We have at least two mil
lion men of our race who would be
called upon to fight for our country.
But what Is the government doing
toward preparing these men to defend
the flag?
What visions of expansion for these
United States have come to leading
citizens, statesmen and historians? If
righteousness shall be the chief char
acteristic of our country, no vision of
honor, glory and power shall be too
broad: but this, of all lands, will be the
lrnd of the free and the home of the
brave.
Gift to Woman's College.
A noteworthy contribution to the
scholarship funds of Connecticut Col
lege for Women was made at a meet
ing of graduates of the Harfford Fe
male seminary a school which ceased
to exist a number of years ago In
that city Friday, when it was voted
to create a memorial scholarship of
$10,000, the income to be awarded an
nually to some student of the col
lege. Organization of directors of the
fund was effected and Mrs. Henry E.
Fowler of Guilford was chosen presi
dent. The action of the alumnae of
the seminary was received with warm
appreciation at the college today.

Because the 1 7 pure Turkish tobaccos :
in Murad are higher grade than,
the tobaccos used in MANY brands
of 25 Cent cigarettes.
Because these 1 7 Turkish tobaccos T
are put together in a combination that'
has no counterpart for delicious origi- k

That is -why Murads are the great
est sellers of all 15 Cent, 20 Cent
