STRONG OPPOSITION TO WOOD.
His Appointment as Major Gener.
al May Be Held Up.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington. Aug. N--The promotions and
retirements Of thirty odd veteran Colonels
OF the army, which began July Is with the
retirement Of Major General George w.
Davis. has been completed. The last Of the
veterans to be advanced and retired was
Colonel Simpson Of the Quartermaster's De-
partment, whose retirement as Brigadier
General was announced m orders issued
Thursday.
The next change among the general
officers under the statutory law for retire
ment will take place January in less than
five months. when Lieutenant General
Young will be retired. Young's retirement
will promote Major General Chaf1ee and
Brigadier General Randall. IL the rule of
seniority be followed.
There are intimations that a number of
veteran Coionels viii be advanced through
the coming vacancy and retired, as has
been done the past four weeks.
1t Is probable, however, that nothing will
be done in that direction until the Senate
has acted on the nomination Of Leonard
Wood to be Major General.
The opposition to General Wood that has
been manifested since he was promoted to
be Major General may result in holding up

rejection, therefore, would leave no place
for him to drop back to and would land him
outside the army register. especially II the
President would send to the Senate with

In view Of this threatened complication It
is believed the ten or twelve veterans made
Brigaders and retired In consequence OF the
advancement Of General Wood will be with

on woods's nomination. The rejection Of
Woods nomination is not probable.
Aside from his claim to advancement by
reason of the fact that at the time pro.

THAT would be difficult to unravel.

they overdo the heroic. they instili whole

and treat Of the life Of to-day would seem
to be their only excuse for being. There

which inculcate even deeper lessons, and

JOE BARRETT is MISSING.
He Wants no More of MiIIer's Game
and Is Believed to Have Gone.

On top of the Savannah Athletic
Club giving him another match with
Herman Miller at some trouble, and
Miller granting him all concessions
possible, it looks as if Joseph Barrett
has flown the coop. Barrett, who clam
ored for another match with Miller,
after his defeat the other night. offer
ed as explanations of his short stay in
the ring that he was sick on the ship
on his trip down, that the ship was
delayed so much that he did not have
time to recover before the match, and
capped his excuses with a plea that he
was unused to fighting under straight
Queensbury rules. Rather than have it
look as though he was under disad-
vantage, both the club and Miller gave
to him all that was demanded for an
other match next Wednesday night
that he might have square oppor-
tunity.
The manager of the club being busy,
told Barrett to write out the articles
to suit himself, and present them yes
terday to be signed. Nothing more was
thought of the matter until Barrett
failed to show up on time. 1t was
learned that he had moved from the
Turkish baths where he was stopping
without saying where he was going,
and a search high and low did not find
him. Up to a late hour last night he
had not been located. and those in a
position to express an opinion, gave it
as their belief that he had hit out"
If that be the case he is done for with
the Savannah Athletic Club.

West last year he finished in front
twice and was second in the other
three. Foster has been quartered at the
Ihunderbolt track through the winter
ana carefully trained by Mr.. Doyle,
assisted by P. Murphy, Who is con-
sldered one of the best horse condi-
TONERS of the country.
BY watching him carefully and Civ
ing him the proper kind of work Fos-
ter soon showed up well, and as soon
as the time proved ripe he was shipped
TO Washington under care of his own
er and entered at Bennings Cash
Sloan, one of the crackerjack jockies
OF the country who rode in Germany
last year under a big contract, was
secured for the mount, and Foster was
entered in a five and one-half furlong
race for yesterday afternoon. The re-
suit was all that was expected, Foster
galloping home in 1 minute and Sec

1t was another realization of horse
mans dream. Foster will remain at
Bennings for the rest of the meet and
then go West.

AS may be seen from the scores,
Woods played the best game, Mcintyre
second best, and Feltz was third. That
the third game in which the match was
lost was a very poor one for team
composed of such players goes with
out saying, no man on the team max
ing what would be considered a good
score in the Inter-Club League. AS
it was, the match was very close, and
Savannah lost by only 6 pins. A spare
in the last frame of the match would
have saved the day. All of which
argues much for future matches with
the same teams.
The Macon Telegraph has the follow
ing to say, in part, about the match:
The lineup of the teams was as fol-
lows:
"Crescents' of Atlanta -. Charles
Voorhees,, E. E. Eagan, Carl Downs,

Borde, substitute.
Mrs. w. F. Baker of Savannah, the
best woman bowler in Georgia, and
Mrs. w. r. Mcintyre accompanied the
Yacht Club team to Macon. They were
interested spectators of the games.
The score by games of the three
teams is as follows:
Atlanta-First game. SIS; second

Savannah-First game, S79; second

SAVANNAH HORSE MADE
KILLING AT JENNINGS
Tommy Foster Ran Away from a Fast Field
Under Long Odds

A Savannah horse made a killing at
Bennings yesterday. Tommy Foster"
owned by Alex P. Doyle, was the smart
one. The odds against him at the
local turf exchange were 40 to 1 to
win, Is to L second place, and to 1,
third. The betting opened at 80 to 1.
Though nothing had been heard from
the track it is thought that the odds
there must have been at least 100 to
1. A good many of the wise ones who
were in touch with what was going on
were down on Foster with small rolls
and are stronger financially as a con-
sequence.
Tommy Foster is a 4-year-old chest
nut colt by Fonso and Recess, and has
been owned by Mr.. Doyle for two
years. He is we'll known here, and
no later than Washington's birthday
ran an exhibition race on the Fair
