 Tt would never do," added Sir Thomas. Ito give up when only pulse beat came bstween- us and victory"
 The reception to the challenger for the Americas cup was marked with the represented at the banquet this evening. Lcrd Tweedmouth acted as chairman, and proposing the health of President politician, statesman, sportsman and writer. President Rooseyelt's name was greeted with tremendous applause, all though only few Americans were pres ent.
 Sir Thomas maintained the excellence of the Shamrock H.. and that a wee bit of luck would have turned the tables. 'It was only matter of a toss of the Coin." said he. We raced over hun dred miles and the decision was only matter of seconds. which goes to show that we are Justified in believing we can build boats to bring back the cup"
 While Sir Thomas paid glowing com pliments 10 the United States, he con- fessed his chaE:in at being unable ito put on the table the famous old mug" He offered both the Shamrocks as trial boats to any Britisher anxious to chal- lCnge, and closed his remarks with the declaration that he would be willing to make another attempt for the cup should no one else do 50 and expressing his confidence that the third Shamrock would have the luck of the three leafed Sham rock.
 Lord Tweedmouth. proposing Sir Thom- ass health, said the yachtsman's inf1u- ence and sportsmanlike conduct had done much to clear the mists of misun- derstanding between the two countries. and paved the way to the Nicaragua Ca nal agreement.
 We have shown the world" said Lord Tweedmouth, that we can achieve the end desired, one side granting concessions without disgrace and the other side ac- ceptfng these concessions without def- ance,"

New Schedules Will Go into Effect
 on L. 6 N. Next Sunday.

There may be more methodical people in this section than General Foreman Briggs. of the South and North shops, but they are very few.
 Tt will take lots of time and lots of hard work but I am gradually getting this yard in a shipshape condition" said MT. Briggs yesterday.
 The storeroom is a model and he is justly proud of it. It is d room lSx20 feet and everything in it is systematic to a degree. Numbers of pigeon holes and drawers arc ranged around the room. everyone with the label under it of the articles it contains so that one can put his hand on what he wants without hunt ing all over the place. On a long plat form just outside of the storeroom are long rows of lockers in which brasses are kept. These brasses are valuable to anyone with a penchant for thieving and the lockers are kept always tightly locked.
 In the rear of the store room tracks are being built so that all of the shop work can be concentrated instead of being scattered all over the yard. That is. cars needing light repair work or equipment can be supplied right at the storeroom.

 Her dress caught fire and in an instant she was a mass of flames.
 Alarmed at the result of his action, the woman said Roland attempted to eXtin- guish the fire and was severely burned himself.
 Two other roomers in the house heard Miss von Broths cries and notified the police. An ambulance removed Miss won Broth and Roland to the county hospital. Arriving at the hospital the woman re- gained consciousness and made the state ment accusing Roland. He was then re- moved to the jail hospital when he in- formed the police that the affair had been meant as a joke. Later he said the cause was a result of an accident.

RED HOT FOOTBALL
sAYRE STREET DULLES GO
 DOWN IN DEFEAT.
Church Street Sluggers Not Only Win the Game, But Write an Account of It for the
 Paper

It is a very rare occurrence that as bright gl:nt of sunshine comes into a newspaper office as was one that burst into the local room of The Advertiser last night. A score or more of chubby, tright-faced youngsters came in the door and as if by magic that touch of nature that makes the whole world akin changed the dingy old room with gleams of color.
 Say, Mister" said the leader of the sturdy young Americans, as the entire party made a rush for the sporting edi- tors desk, there was a great game of football at the park this afternoon, and wG want to have it printed in -he paper for we won" Then every boy in the ing to be first to tell about the great game" As the merry chatter com menced the local staff. hard at work grinding. cut their daily "stuft'' dropped everything and with a sympathetic smile on their faces and a far-away gleam in their eyes that carried them back into the blessed days of happy boyhood. wheeled around in their chairs. cut ev- erythfng else out--and listened.
 You see it was this way said Mir. Speaker again-who, by the way, was. as 1t turned out. the doughty center rush of the victorious young gridiron heroes. They were biggern stronger than us but we just beat lem all the same-why they were big enough to almost push the ball up the field-but they didn't. They had eleven men to our seven and we made two touchdowns to their one-we ought to have had three touchdowns but the referee of the game robbed us out of the last one."
 Well, now, let me tell you what to do," said the Sporting Editor, take this paper and pencil, get under that light, and fix up a complete account of your game"
 The center rush-his healthy little face scared and scatched with the glorious trophies of war-did the writing, the rest crowding around in a circle and filling the air with suggestions or objec- tions. Finally the task was completed they had a write-up that was going to be printed in the paper-and the follow ing is a copy of their literary labors:
 There was an exciting game of foot ball between Sayre Street Bullies and Church Street Sluggers. The score was 10 to in favor of Little Church Street. The players were: George Mcgough. cen- tre rush, Arnold Hirsch, quarterback. John Minnis full back; Samuel Helburn, left end; George Sayre, right end; Wal ter Browder, right tackle; Willie Lee Joseph, left guard; Ed Weatherly, right guard. The touchdowns were made by Walter Browder and Arnold Hirsch. Other good plays were made by the rest. John Minnis, manager; Edwin Teague, referee; Gilbert Roper, umpire.
