SPORTING
Lineup Of Brown and Harvard at Cam
bridge This Afternoon Bowling Scores.
Roller Polo Season Opens.

The Brown football team did not lineup
at all yesterday. They were simply
given a good drill In signal practice and
in the perfection OF few tricks. These
will not be extensively used, however.
The team win be confined TO straight
football.
They go up against Harvard today with
the weakest team they have had In ten
years. TO make a bad matter worse
the team is crippled by the loss of the
best players. Cams shoulder is in bad
condition. Hatch has badly sprained
knee. which puts all idea of his playing
out OF question. Metcalf has deep cut
over his eye. A broken nose Will per-
haps cause Flemming's removal.
Schwinn and Webb have slight sprains.
This is certainly dubious outlook for
the game There Is one thing which Il Is
encouraging. Johnson will probably be-
at right guard.
The Harvard football squad had "A short
and snnppy practice on Soldiers field
yesterday afternoon. The lineup be
tween the first and second eievens lasted
but ten minutes and I'm that time the
Varsity scored one touchdown on a 90
yard run by Mifflin. Miffiin broke through
the bunch and started down the field with

THE MAYORS ADDRESS.

The next selection by the band was
"Festvity March," and when Chairman
Sharpe introduced Mayor Granger as "a
man who has the courage of his con-
victions and dares express them" The
city's executive was accorded an ovation
After returning thanks for the enthu-
sisstic reception he spoke substantially
as follows:
The issue at stake seems to me far
above that of mere transfer stations or
transfer tickets. IL is struggle as TO
whether the city of Providence shall gov
ern itself or become the tool of a cor
porstion. The transfer question is after all
only the old question of riding from one
end of our city to the other for ne fare.
The company itself proposes 10 give trans
fers, but Is II an unfair thing for you
20 ask for tickets? The very fact that
the request has been granted I'm more
than a majority OF cities in this country.
benefting the railroad companies in in
creased receipts, makes the proposition
fair one.

Mr.. SPOONER SPEAKS. .

It <inttfttAn was ithNfi'A
by the band and then ex-Congressman
Henry j. Spooner was introduced. He
made a calm. impassioned speech, and
expressed pleasure at seeing such mag
niicent audience, showing, az IL did, tho
deep interest felt in the election next
week.
The question of preserving the priyi-
leges and rights of the citizensSof Provi-
dence as against the aggressions OF the
Union Railroad company" said the
speaker. is the issue at stake In the
coming election. Many of US remembers
the first street cars which We had In
tho city OF Providence. But az this cor
poration grew AZ reached out Its tenacles
for franchises, rights and even privileges,
which belong 10 the citizens.
The steam railroad has TO pay for the
land taken for It's roadbed but the street
railroad has been given the very best
streets Of the city for the laying OF rails
and occupying such thoroughfares fire.
auently TO exclusion OF almost all other
forms OF traffic | believe that the Union
Railroad company should be granted
franchises under certain regulations, for
the street railway has come to he a ne
cessity. But great franchises have been
given practically without cost and streets
have been widened to give additional
roadbed The widening OF South Main
street will be- "A great benefit to the
street railway company and IL means
from $4,000 10 $4,000 10 come out OF the
pockets OF the taxpayers. Another high
way IL projected TO cross South Main
and Benefit streets and 40 as far as
Prospect street also meaning the expen-
diture OF $4,000 more TO be met by the
taxpayers and eventually utilized by the
street railway company. For such favors
should not the railroad company grant
something in return? III not. Zen We

The mayor is the chief executive OF our
city and the head OF the city government,
the highest prerogative OF his onice Deing
the veto power.
This statement indicates 10 my mind
that Mr. Vincent does not wish TO be
elected mayor this year. Tina. he was
forced 10 accept the nomination by par
ties who control the partisan Republican
nominations. lie, no doubt, looks upon
his nomination, under the circumstances,
that requires an advocate 10 adopt the
station house plan, as "a joke. My advice
70 the electors OF Providence is To help
them carry out the Joke on election day
by electing nis esteemed friend, Mr.. Gran
ger TO succeed himself.
The railroad company Is not sincere in
advocating the adoption of the station
house plan as an adequate system for
transfers, because II is aware that that
system cannot be carried out. as there IL
no place i'm our streets to build such sta
ton foItfs.
The Central Station HOSE would cost
over siV0000. The railroad company would.
he satisfied with that. leaving the blame
on the city for the non-fulfllment OF the
station house plan in not giving them To-
cations foi substations.
TIE company say they desire the good
will OF the people. The company can try
transfer tickets for few mo 1ths and
thus Cotermine its practicabili-y az very
>mafi costs. II that fails. then they can
try :he station house plan.

And now they insist on transfer sta
tions, the land to be furnished free by
the city OF Providence Haven't the peo-
pie done about enough and paid enough
out of the treasury OF the city for the
benefits. aye actual benefits, received by
the Union Railroad company?
Mr.. Spooner next called attention 10 the
fact that booths" are designated I'm the
plans for the transfer station. To be let,
of course. and prove n source OF revenue
to the company besides having it's own
offices free. Has any citizen. OF any 9th
