GOES AGAIN INSANE.

NEW YORK, April 27.-william
steinitz, at one time the champion
chess player Of the world, and who was
recently released from a sanitarium
where he was being treated for insan-
ity, is thought to have again lost his
mind. About week ago he began to
suffer from hallucination that he had
made great discovery and was the
possessor OF immense wealth. Last
night he went for walk, and 1t was
found afterward that he had given all
the money with him to small boys.
He will probably be again committed
to an asylum.

After due inquiry I find that Americans
do not control single line of steamers

Il have no hesitation in saying that
such a line il established win contri-

trade between the two countries. Mr..

to $3.50 per ;on OF 40 cubic feet, against

frcm London and Liverpool to the same
destination. Thus It is apparent that
British steamship companies give pre-
ferential rates to American shippers.
The English are noted for their
acute judgement In matters OF business.
II English ship owners think it worth
their While for business reasons to offer
cheaper freight rates TO American
than to English shippers. it is not to
be supposed that they cherish greater
love for their American cousins than
for their English brethren. 1t is be-
cause they believe it good business pol.

strange that you enterprising Ameri-

PROVIDENCE 2; NIGHT HAWKS I

Three of the hottest games seen ON
the local alleys this season were rolled
last evening In the New England Duck
Pin league between the Providence team
ard the Night Hawks of Fall River.
In every other respect but the close
ness of the scores. the game was rather
slow. and contrary to expectations low
totals prevailed.
In the first string the game was nip
and tuck up TO the last frame, with a
slight advantage in favor OF the Night
Hawks. but Davis broke loose. and with

The. second game was a repetition OF

rescue, ringing In strike and winning
the game for his team.

The practice on Andrews Field last
night showed marked Improvement In al
most every particular. The realization
OF the fact that the game with Syracuse
University is liable to be no cinch seems
at last TO have dawned on the minds of
the Brown eleven. For the past few days
the work has been the worst ever seen
on the field. The boys appeared like 50
many ten pins stuck In only to be pushed
over. Last night the spectators. few
though they were. saw a real live eleven
paying as II should play. The practice
began with punting and catching. scud-
der and Ball were at the receiving end.
They both drove very sure and worked
well together. Tom Barry will be missed
however, Saturday. His running back
punts compared favoraby with that dis
played by Browns former star. Richard
son. Barry's injury in the Dartmouth
game has developed into bad case OF
water on the knee.
Bates and Kimball got off some beauti-
full long punts. The first and second
elevens then went through some lively
kickoff The second made eight or nine
kckoffs. the Varsity doing fairly good
work. But II is still ragged; the interfer-
ence does not have the steam and speed
that IL should. The man with the ball ~
left absolutely alone after he has gone
about iifteen yards.
The interference SCENE to think their
work done after humping up against one
man. Philbrick did some great tackling
in this kickoff practice. The teams
then lined up for the regular practice.
The second kicked TO Ball who came
back fifteen yards with only fair In
reference. BY steady line plunges OF
from three to eight yards. the varsity
scored the first touchdown.
Scudder ran his team well in fact the
little Quarter has been showing marked
Improvement I'm every line of the same.
He gets speed into the team that Is In
marked contrast TO his work OF the early
part of the season BY next year this
little player ought 20 prove a jewel.
The varsity then kicked off 10 Delisle
who made the most sensational run of
the day. Catching the ball on his ten
yard line, by magnificent doding and
sprinting. he ran by the whole eleven
over the goal line
Unfortunately he stepped outside about
foot and therefore had TO come be k.
The run was beauty however. The
varsity then gave the second nve downs
in which TO make the necessary five
yards. Crowell halfback on the second.
did some fine line plunging and the Sc
cond gained for while. but the varsity
line stiffened up and threw the second
back time again for losses. After the
varsity had scored twice more. the ball
was exchanged back and forth TO test
and strengthen weak points.
The interference was good around the
ends, forming quickly and running COM
pactly. But the line did not have the
jump that IL should have. both on de-
fense and offense. In this important
particular the line has bee deficient all
the season. One and all just plant
themselves firm and let their opponents
jumn into them. Coach Robinson and
Emory cannot get the men out OF this
rut no matter how they work and talk
20 them After the practice the squad
ran around the field few times and then
went In. Line up:
