The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1902-03-14

Those farmers who registered their
objections to the putting of the rural
free delivery system on the out-of date
contract system by writing to the
senator's and representatives in Wash
ington about the matter can feel that
their efforts were not entirely in vain.
The vote against the matter in the house
of representatives Monday was decisive
and settles the matter. The pay Of the
carriers was fixed by an amendment to
the bill which was passed at 5000, the
amount which the carriers will begin to
receive for this month. THE TINES is
glad that the carriers are not to be
placed under the contract system which
would have led to innumerable abuses
and would have been disgrace to the
service and to the nation. 1t believes
however that the provision limiting the
pay to 5000 is not wise one. 1t thinks
that o provision making the salary 5000
for the first year with increases to $3.50
and finally at least $3.50 or 5000 would
be far nearer what is right for the
service rendered. The vote of Monday
was however a distinct victory for the
rural free delivery system.

In the death of John p. Altgeld, ex-
governor of Illinois, Wednesday, one of
the most striking characters before the
American people has been laid low. A
fearless thinker and close student of the
problems confronting the American
people today he advocated the principles
of socialism as coming the nearest to
being in accord with his conclusions.
It is however for his pardon of the
Chicago anarchists who participated in
the Haymarket riot that he has been
most widely known and most severely
eensured His end was as characteristic
as it was tragic. 1t came few hours
after he had finished speech in behalf
of the Beers at the close of which he
was seized with fainting spell.

GRIFFITH FOR NEW YORK.
American League Club in Big Metrop-
oils to Be Managed BY Little Pitcher.

A special from Chicago says that Clark
Griffith, manager of the White Stockings in
1902. will leave Chicago and will go to New
York next year to take charge Of the new
club which the Johnson forces will place in
Gotham. His successor here will be George
Davis Comislhey's short STOP who before
he came to Chicago was the manager OF the
New York team of the National League.
There is no longer any doubt about the
intention Of the American League to place
team in New York. And this team, the
leaders realize, must be one of the strongest
in the organization to compete successfully
against the one which John McGraw is
forming.
When the question Of grounds for a base
ball park In New York was settled Presi-
dent johnson turned his attention to the
subject-of manager for the team. To him
there appeared nobody in the business who
was better able to go to the head OF great
club such as New York must have than
Griffith. George Davis. too, had received an
offer from New York which was better in
no small way than he was receiving In Chi
cage. He had a contract with Comiskey.
however, covering two years. He Is bound
to the local magnate for another year.
A story was circulated telling of Davis
intentions of jumping to New York and
leaving Comiskey in the lurch. When this
reached the ears Of the player he denied
that he would jump, although lie admits
that ne had received exceedingly fattering
offers from that club.
Il shall not jump" he said. although
admit that I like New York very WELL
have been offered nearly twice as much sal
airy to go there next year."
Griffith has already planned for the work
which Is ahead of him, and it is probable
that he will spend a greater part Of the
winter in New York.

Aided by good interference Brown tore

kick. Columbian kicked back. and St.
Johns gave the ball to Beatty. who broke
through the entire Columbian team and ran
about thirty-f1ve yards for touch down.

a score Of to o.
There were 1900 spectators including a
large crowd from this city.
The middies showed lack of practice, and
1t cannot be remembered when an academy
team made so poor showing. The line
was utterly unable to stop the fierce plung-
ing OF the heavy Georgetown backs, who
tore on gains at win through the great
holes made by their line. Navy backs were
slow In charging and once only were able
to make first down.
Time and again Georgetown came near
scoring, but was held for downs almost on
her opponents goal. and twice Morgan, who
Is considered fair drop-kicker, failed at
easy goals from the field. On the other
hand, Georgetown'S scores were pure gifts
on accidents that would hardly occur again.
The first was on one of two high passes made
by Oak at center, when he threw the ball
over Belknap's head. The second was due
to a tumble by Belknap back Of his own
goal on an attempt to kick
On the whole the middies should be high
iy pleased at the result. as Georgetown
gained at will. and except when kicked the
ball was never in Georgetown's territory.
In the first half Morgan kicked off for
Georgetown to Nays 30-yard line. Nc
Nair made slight gain before he was
downed. The middies tried in vain to rush
and were forced to kick. Belknap dropped
back and Oak threw the ball over his head.

downs. Navy holding beautifully. The mid
dies tried once to advance, but failed. and
again Capt. Belknap started to kick and
again Oak passed the ball over his head.
Belknap made a desperate effort to carry
the ball on the field. but was thrown be-
fore he reached it, thus counting up two
points for Georgetown.
The ball was brought out and kicked OFF
from the 25-yard line. Buckley, by beau
tiful lodging, ran it back 20 yards. and
from here on 1t was a procession, Reilly,
Hart and Morgan tearing on yard after
yard until Nays 20-yard line was reached.
Here Georgetown tried for a field goal and
missed, though she had carried the ball 30
yards without a stop. Again Belknap kick
ed off. and the same series Of plays were
carried out, Morgan failing at goal. Then
the half ended.
Belknap kicked Off in the second half.
Georgetown rushed the ball back and kick
ed to Nays 2O-yard line. McNair caught
it and was downed. Belknap made a beau
tiful long kick and Morgan returned 1t. Bel

O'Clock. Only one player. Perley Of the
Dumbartons. failed to report to his captain,
and Mr.. Duff was given the match by up
by default.
The Columbia team outciassed the Dunn
bartons and every Individual match went
to the members Of the former club, the fig
ures ranging from to 10 up, the total
score being " up In favor OF the home
team.
Mr. Britton had the honor Of securing the
largest score against his opponent, Mr..
whiting while Mr.. Carusi came second
with IA up on Mr.. Palmer. The dismal
weather kept the fair sex away and also
reduced the gallery to minimum. An
other handicap was the failure of the cleo
trio current on the railroad to the club
house, and many turned back in disgust
after going half the distance from the city.
The match between r. B. LOCKER and Mr..
Davidson was the best Of the team match,
the latter winning by only up. Mr..
LOCKER Is the best player among the Dunn
bartons. and he certainly did his best to up
hold the team, as his opponent is one OF
Columbia's best.
The first half Of the thirty-six-hole four
some match between the Messrs. Harlan
and Lafferty and Horstman of Chevy Chase
was played after the club match had start
ed, and proved an exceptional contest, the
first-named pair winning out by 1 up, the
necessary stroke being made on the last
green. The other eighteen holes VIII proba-
bly, be played this afternoon on the Chevy
Chase course. and the gallery will certainly
be large one as this quartet Of golfers is
about the best in the District.
Neither OF the players complained Of the
weather and kept plugging along with de-
termination that can only be, displayed by
players Of the first class, and when the
last hole was reached hsrorss were even
between the two pairs. On the last green
DR.. Lee Harlan made a very long putt.
and through this master play, won out by
1 up.
On account Of the disagreeable weather
and the two matches that-rHere under way
the putting" contest was~postponed until
g. later date. -
Following are the scores for the team
match.
