The Gridiron Game.

The scrred hosts with awful nadded
shapes
III brave array are scattered Ger the
ground
The whistle blows the pent-up rage es-
capeS.
And twenty-five fierce maniacs fly
around
And seek each others blood Their eyes
ablaze
lheir flames all strung with perspira-
tons beads,
While twenty thousand cohorts sing their
praise
And urge them on to bloody, horrid
deeds.
The fight is on! They kick ana gouge and
The fallen men are jumped on. All is
gay. ~
The crowd laughs happily, with child's de-
light
AS undertakcrs tote the dead away.
The halt and manned grin through their
plaster strips.
No agent would insure them for a dime.
Each player to his sponge and lemon
trips,
Approaching glory-and half time.
Again they fight. Chrysanthemum-like
Now covers all the field three inches
thick.
Men fallen are replaced. Each does his
share
TO maui and MAIN opponent Every
kick
Does execution. And unheeded tears
FLOW from the eyes of vanquished men
in showers.
And, while attendants sweep up eyes and
The victors loudly cry: THE game is
ours"

NO HURRY TO SIGN
Managers and Club Owners Do Not
Seem Worried Over Next Session.

New York. Oct. 1.-The owners and man
ayers of the various clubs in the American
and National Leagues do not seem to be
in any particular hurry about making
contracts with their players for next sea-
son In years past there has always been
Il lively hustle on the. part of the club
owners about this season of the year to
get their players under contract or at
least dickcr in the matter of terms. This
season. however it is the players who are
doing the guessing and the chances of
any advance in salaries are mighty slim.
While the managers all declare that the
salary limit question was carefully avoid
ed at the recent Buffalo conference and,
further that there will not be any whole
next year, it can be stated on excellent
authority that there is Il tacit under
standing between the big moguls of the
game on the subject. The days of fancy
salaries are over for the present 1t is
doubtful if any of the players will receive
the old limit of s., 400

tn. Men Who Are Candidates for the
Eleven.

Brunswick, Me-, Oct. 2.-(SPeci''
Now that the college is well unoe. ""''
and the men have had more oppof'ui'-
;tv to work out, a more definite idea Oh
1,o,doin.s football outlook may be Sc
cured. 1t may be said the prosFec'S
are brighter for successful season. IL
=, t,,,o that two games have already
hoo,, ,,,ayedk thatamight not at first
thought Seem 10y encouraging. but
in view 81 theA4vgt time the college
has been open. and the consequent
brief practice, the results We're rather
more encoufaging than otherwise. At
the time OF the game with Fort Preble,
last Saturday, which BOwdOin won s
to 0. the men had only been lined up in
practice about ten minutes in all. The
lighteSt man on the Fort Preble team
weighed 165.
, OF last years team the following are
back: Captain Beane '04. who will play
his old position at end Davis, '05, last
years tackle, who will be at guard
this season; Finn, '05. last years full
back, who will be at tackle; Winslow,
'06, sub half back, last year, who vii!
play the Sdillt pOSltlOH lilS SCdi ;
Chapman, 'O6 half back; Haley, '06.
IL last years substitute, who is playing
tackle; Sanborn, '06, who was sub
stitute center last year.
Philoon, '05 whose injured hand has
prevented his being out up to this time,
will be out the remainder of the sea-
son. Hatch. '05, another of last year S
team, who has not been in the game as
yet, will be out from now on. These
last two men will materially strength
EN- the team.
There is quite a large amount Of
good material in the freshmen class.
OF these Speake is unquestionably the
kng-pin. In practice and in the
games already played, he has proved
himself a first-class half-back. He is
from Washington. D. c., and comes
from Hebron, where he attained q
reputation among "preb' schools. Other
reputation among prep schools. Other
men in the squad who are showing up
well. are Cunningham. '06, Favenger,
'06. Redmond. '07, Brown. '06, Wiggin,
Bass. '07, Powers '07, and kinsman, 'oI.
Last years Varsity men who either
graduated or have not returned are
y
Blanchard, Wilson and Staples These
men are, of course, a great loss. But
with the new material. it is not
necessarily an irretrievable one. The
line, this year, is the unknown quality,
whereas last year the backs We're what
mad to be worked out of new material.
The weight of the team is about the
same as last year. Sanborn at center
will be the heaviest man. His weight
is 215 pounds. Captain Beane is
probably the lightest man. AS has been
said it is probable that the new rules
will aid the Bowdoin team more than
the heavier elevenS.
The New Hampshire State College
team will line up against Bowdoin, this
afternoon. The score, last year, be-
tween the teams was 5 to 5 in Bow
doins favor. The New Hampshire
team, this year. however. is said to be
unusually strong. but with the fine
spirit and the hard work of the past
week. BowdOin should show up well
and win a safe margin. Next week,
Bowdoin will play Amherst Wednes-
day. at Amherst, and Exeter, Saturday,
at Brunswick.

they will work in practice is awaited

A Remarkable Girl Athlete.

Miss Lydia Carpenter, a pretty fif-
teen-year-old girl of Plattsburg, n. Y.
besides being one of family of
twenty-one children. has proved q rec
ord smasher in athletic sports. On
May - this young woman took the
American girls running high jump
record from Vassar by q jump of four
feet three and three-tenths inches.
The jump was made in the final
gymnastic exhibition of the State Nor
mai school, in the presence of Direc-
tor Angel and others assembled to
witness the events. Miss Carpenters
achievement was not the result of a
happy accident. She is fond of ath-
leticS as most girls are of flirting. She
is Splinter, and OH the horizontal bar
is fearless and clever. Miss Carpenter
is not of the masculine type, but u
frolicsome sirlish young woman, with
the Irresistible charms of dimpleS and
pink cheeks. She weighs one hum
dred and eighteen pounds, and is five
feet and two and one-half inches high
promising greater height as she grows
Older. On the basketball team of the
college she played center, and with her
aid the team won the championship of
Northern New York. Miss Carpenters
career as an athlete has just begun.
She intends. she says. to keep on with
her gynnastic and athletic work until
she has qualified herself to be the best
Of her ability. Then, unless "somc-
thing happens the quotations are
ours, she aSpires to become "a full
fledsed physical directress. AS it now
stands, unless some more fortunate
young woman appears on the athletic
horizon. Miss Carpenters name will go
down to fame as the best girl Jumper

 Wildcats are so numerous throughout the Allegash region that they undoubt- edly formed a large proportion of the hundreds of fleeing animals" and it is very probable that the deer and moose remained close enough to the blaze to allow it to keep their launches warm, because the spring has been an ex- ceptionally cold one, and they are naturally fearless creatures. But the talk of these animals starving to death from the lack of food during the next few weeks is all nonsense, veriest non- sense; that is under present conditions.
 The situation is bad enough; there is no need for exaggeration or creation, and 1t is tr;te to quote in this con- nection an interview printed in a Ban- gor paper Saturday with Forest Com missioner Charles E. Oak, who had just returned from trip through Washing ton and Aroostock Counties, where the worst fires have ragged:
 T am confident that the loss has been exaggerated. It seems to be the gener- al impression that all burned over land has been valuable growth. This is wrong, as in the majority of instances fires have been raging over ground that has already been burned, or over terri tory that has been cut. Of course, much valuable growth has been destroyed, but not so great as it is supposed. Letter to Boston Transcript.
