Rev, William Crawford of the First
Methodist church conducted the Sun
day afternoon service at the Sheltering
Arms and delivered an eloquent ad
dress. He was ably assisted by the
choir of the church, with- Miss Edith
Dode at the piano. The duet His
love and Care by Mrs. Bushnell and
Miss Martha Brown was finely ren
dered. Eye Hath Not Seen, also solo
by Mrs. Cushnell, and My Wonderful
Dream, soprano solo by Miss JBrown
were given with fine expression. Sev
eral hymns were unj to the pleasure
of all. What a Friend We Have in
Jesus was sung inspiringly, Rev. Mr.
Crawford requesting the members of
the household to join in the chorus.
The subject of the afternoon was The
.Tree of Life. Revelations 22: 2-14.
TIcv. Mr. Crawford said in substance:
The vision of these verses is one that
presents to us the glories of the Ce
lestial I'ity. It is one that .we love
tn lock' unch arid think .'over. . Jt is a
'isicn that does the soul good and
l-ririjrs peace to it when the sorrow

Miss Klinor May Oreen" of 161 Town
stret. ha.s turned hom" after vis
iting her prnn Imother, Mrs. Herbert
Drown, of !1 Fountain street.
Stonington High won" her second
victory of the season Saturday by de
feating the Norwich Y. M. C. A. by
the score -of 7 to 6. It was a close,
clean, hard fought game. It must be
taken under consideration that, the T.
M, C. A.-boys did not have the prac
tice that the Stonington boys had.
However, the Norwich players Knew
how to take ref eat, and one would
think after looking at. them that they
were the winning . team.-
Stonington played a good game.
Sheehan's all around playing was the
feature of the game, while Wheeler,
'Brown and Rosen played a good game i
for 6. H. Sjr Leonard, Stonington
star fullback, spoiled 'He P, M. C. A.
chances for winning when he kicked a
difficult goal. If he failed the score
would have been 6 to 6.
Crimens, 'Norwich's left -guard, fur
nished the amusement throughout the
game, and Captain Williams and Kear
ney were the T. M. C. A. stars.

At Bridgeport Saturday the Bridge
port High school eleven defeated the
Bulkeley High school team by a score
of 64-0. The contest was one-sided

SPORTS BECOMING MORE

Sport and war were strangely min
gled in the recent Seine swim, the
b'tg sport event of the year in Paris.
The hero of the race down the Seine
through Paris, a distance of about -7
1-3 miles was not the winner but the
man who. finished last of the male
competitors. He was Charles Nunges-
J ser. the champion aviator, who though
still hampered oy wounds not yet com
pletely healed, his left lea: in fact be
came useless early in the race, pedseV-
ered to the end and finished m

greater . welcome from the thousands
lining the banks than even the win

The French are not usually regard

winner of this event in 1905, who gave
an exhibition swim coming in -sixth.
The winner was George Michel, a gun

MARKET WAS CONFUSED. 1
New York.. Oct. 2S. The, very con
fusing tendencies manif?stel by to
day's active stock marift lacked
plausible explanation on any group .1
other than existing uncertainties at
home and abroad. .
War news again was almost wholly
favorable to the peace group, but do
mestic politics imparted a tinge of
pessimism which found tt! outlet in
irtermittent selling for the short ac
count. A general demonstration of strength
marked the broad opening but much
of this was dissipated before the ex
piration of the first hour, largely as a
rtsult of the further spectacular
course of certain specialties. Chief
among these was Mexican Petroleum,
which advanced 11 1-2 points, reacted
twenty points and closed at a gain of
1 1-2 points.
The course of U. S. Steel continued
to puzzle traders who expected an
upward movement of that stock pre
liminary to tomorrow's quarterly
statement. Steel registered a frac
tional gain at the outset, declined al
most three points and ended at a loss
of two points, war shares making vir
tually no recovery from their rever
sals of one to 2 1-2 points.
More stability was displayed by rai':s
and coppers, the latter denoting con
fident accumulation, thoug'j yielding
some of their gains at tha taravy close.
Sales were 975,000 shares.
Returns submitted by railroads op
erating in western and southwestern
sections were highly encouraging and
trade reports from those territories
ivere of an optimistic character.
Bonds were irregular. Liberty 3 1-2's
hardening after early recessions, for
eign issues steadying. Total sales
par value, aggregated J7.9o0.000. Old
C S. bonds were unchanged on call.

ENGLISH FLYWEIGHT PAID
OFF IN DIAMONDS
"When the British military authori
ties stepped in at the last moment
and forbade Jimmy . Wilde, the 100
pound flyweight, to accept anything
except a trophy for his end in a scrap
with Joe Conn, a 126-pounder. in
London, on August 31, 1918, a compli
cated situation arose. Wilde was
supposed to get 60 per cent, of the
purse of 1520,000 for winning in twelve
rounds, and the money was in the
hands of a. London 'sporting paper.
which did not know what to do wtth
it.
The. authorities specified that the
reward of any service man who took
part in a professional boxing 'match
should be a trophy, but failed to put
a limit on the cost of the trophy.
That left a loophole, and the pro
moters solved the problem, after a
fashion, by buying for Wilde dia
monds to the amount of . his end of
the purse. That was a big help.
Wilde, if he wishes to realize cash,
will necessarily lose the difference
between the buying price and the
price at which he would have to sell
in order for the second buyer to make
a profit; still, the diamonds were a
whole lot better than nothing.
horses had come together over and
over again at all the leading shows,
but the decision of the judges had al

Schweiger and W. A. McGibbon, three
of the best known professional riders
in the country were among those who
had tried their hand on Radiant and
failed, for he is as eccentric as he is
beautiful, and about the hardest
horse in the show ring to manage at
times. At Newport. Miss Sears her
self swung into the saddle and by a
wonderful display of patience and
skill succeeded in coaxing her "pic

formance, which won the blue.

VERSATILE MISS SEARS
TO RIDE AT HORSE SHOW
Not content with her honors at
lawn tenniS. golf, polo, yachting, trap
shooting and aviation, Miss Elenora
R. Sears of Boston, is rapidly gaining
distinction for versatility and skill as
a rider and driver at the horse shows.
She is one of the women who will
work -for the success of the National
Horse Show at Madison Square Gar
den, beginning November 11. in an
endeavor to make the one-hundred-per
cent, benefit for the American
Red Cross realize even more than the
$63 000 gift of the Horse Show to the
great war relief organization last
year.
In the string she is going to show
at the Garden Miss Sears has the
superb chestnut saddle horse Radi
ant; two marvelously good looking
lightweight hunters in Kilkee and
Robin Hood; the famous English
hackney high stepper Mathiss Pick-
tun-L p. and a pair of natty hackney
harness ponies, now the top of fash
ion, named Wildfire and Bouncer.
Excepting Judge William H. Moore,
who has sixty odd entries, the versa
tile Boston sportswoman will be one
of the largest exhibitors at this year's
Horse Show, and nearly everything
she has entered has been purchased
or imported from England since last
spring.
Her - horses never show so well as
when Miss Sears is in the saddle or
on the driving cuhion.' There was a
striking demonstration of this at
Newport last summer, when Radiant
defeated Twilight, champion of the
last National Horse Show. The two
TIPS ON SNIPE SHOOTING
If You Are- Going After Snipe It
Will Pay to Read This Article.
By a Snipe Shooter
A gun will "get wet and rusty, no
matter how much care is taken of
it; sand will get on the bolts, and if
a hammer gun, between the hammers
and the locks, rn the holes for the
plungers, and in every conceivable
place in which a grain of sand can
lodge, A hammerless gun is the best
form of gun to use; there are not
many places for sand and rust to
lodge.
.The stool or decoys used in snipe
shooting, yellow-leg stool are the
best, while on the beach any kind can
be used. You have doubtless read or
heard of gunners using skfmmock
shells in place of stool; they are per
do not mislead yourself with the be
haps better than no stool at all, but
lief that they are as good as w;ell
formed tin or wooden stool.
The Reason Why.
There are many excellent reasons
why stool should be placed to lee
ward of the blind. Snipe as a rale
always fly against the wind, and
when coming to stool always come in
from leeward. If your decoys are to
windward of your blind you will have
to be craning your neck around to
watch the birds, while with stool to
leeward every snipe will be in plain
sight. '
In setting out decoys always tick
them up in water if possible; stool in
the water will show up much better
than those on land. Do not make the
mistake of putting the. stool in one
little bunch; spread them out well,
and if twenty-five or thirty stool are
used, you will be surprised at the
showing they will make.
There is another little trick in set
ting out stool that ofttimes gives the
gunner a better shot. Put the stool
well to the right of the blind; then,
after you have shot your first barrel
into a" flock, the rest of tile birds will
be to the right of you, which is much
handier than turning to the left for
the next shot.
SPORTING NOTES.
Derrill Pratt, the New York High
landers' second baseman, is another
ball player wHo has announced his in
tention of quitting the game for good.
When the ' big league season ended
Pratt went to Lebanon to work for a
steel plant. He took his degree in
mechanical engineering before he
went into baseball several years ago,
and when he, arrive at Lebanon he
merely was taking up the same work
for which he was, educated. Pratt
sees a future in this line that base
ball did not hold for. him.
Johnny Loftus', the premier Jockey,
will ride next year, for the Glen Rid
dle Stable, owned by Samuel D.
Riddle of Philadelphia. For the
past season Loftus has been under
contract of A. K. Macomber, the Cal
ifornia, who spates that after the end
of the present campaign he will not
race until the war is over. Mr. Mac
onber's contract with the jockey ex
pires on Nov. 1, and Mr. Riddle lost
no time in arranging terms to suit
the rider.
Among the most promising men
out for the Pordham foot jail eleven is
Ryan, a Maine youngster, who played
halfback on last year's Boston Col
lege. There is one big annual sporting
event that you can't seem to down in
this country, war or no war. It is
the New York six-day race. As usual
it w-ill have a decidedly international
flavor, all the allied nations being
represented.
'Cal" Delaney, Cleveland light
weight, has been selected definitely
as one of the boxers to represent the
Great Lakes Naval Training Station
in King's trophy bouts at London
next month.
Ritchie Mitchell, Pal Moore, Den
nie O'Keefe, Jack Heinen and pos
sibly Leo Schneider will be the other
members of the Great Lakes team to
make the trip..
Baseball magnates are already
considering the next world's series,
evidently thinking that the war will
be concluded before the opening of
another season.
According to a report from Van
couver, Tommy Burns, former heavy
weight world's champion, who re
cently was appointed a camp boxing
j instructor, is in the hospital in a
MeriUUM uc io Building
from influenza.
It is hinted that some of the boxing
instructors who went to Camp Gor
don to take a course of instruction in
bayonet work, were remarkably apt
pupils and are now qualified to go
over the top and show the Hun the
latest wrinkle, in that style of war
fare. Jack Curley is reported to have of
fered Dempsey a $5,000 guarantee
and Levinsky $3 000 or 25 per cent
to box in Newark, the club not being
named. The boxers, who are under
contract to Jimmy Dougherty in
Philadelphia, are becoming restive
over the delay in the Quaker City and
may accept Curley's offer.
Reports from New York have Jack
Britton in training for a bout in Bos
ton with Ted Kid Lewis. Jack is
evidently intent on having that 19th
scrap, even though'the Englishman is
a cripple.
A boving tournament for the cham
pionships of the allied fleets and the
King's trophy to be .held in London
on Dec. 11 and 12 will be participated
in by picked teams from the Great
Ijakes and other training stations, it
has been announced.
"Jos" Mulvihill, who has figured
promiscuously as. a 1sbr pstnoter,
without producig much aside from
the promotion, has been asked to aid
in the war work sports campaign, as
doubtless have other local. fight
promoters. How any one is going to
promote a fight in New Haven or
elsewhere in Connecticut for war
charities or otherwise is an interest
ing question. The state has put the
lid on the fighting game and . how
they can consistently lift it is hard
to see.
Billy Miske of St. Paul will be an
other boxing instructor who will re
main on this side of the water that
he may show our boys who go across
how to fight. It is what might !be
called patriotic modesty. J
Yale is reported again to be an
ticipating a revival of athletics.
When we really see something -Jve
will believe that there is a chnaceor
sport among the Eli S. A. T. C.
It is noticed that Jess Willard lis
very careful not to mention fight Jin
his telegram accepting the requestfto
aid in the big war charities sport
campaign. However the big fellftw
may be cornered on this propositpn
and if so his only way out may be 'to
fight. I
Lieutenant John La van, fornjer
Washington infielder, likes the ny

Training school where he manaijed
