WABASH COLLEGE STANDS
BY ITS NEGRO PLAYER
Game Called OFF With Rose Poly
technic Team.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 9.-Dr. Kane,
president of the Wabash College, took a
stand yesterday In the matter of dis
elimination against the negro which is
causing much comment.
A young negro, named Gordon. is a
member of the Wabash College football
team, and few days ago the Rose Poly
technic team, of Terre Haute, notified
Wabash that it would not play the game
scheduled Saturday unless Gordon was
dropped. Wabash insisted that the Rose
Polytechnic withdraw its objections to
Gordon. but this 1t refused to do, saying
that the game is a social function and
it would not play with a negro.
DR.. Kane then decided that Gordon
would play with the team or the team
would not play at all.

HARD TUSSLE AT GOLF
Narrowly Wins From Miss Curtis
oh Twentieth Green.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct 9.-The feature
of the Griscom invitation tournament
yesterday was the narrow escape from
defeat of Miss Rhona Adair. champion
of Great Britain.
She had Miss Margaret Curtis, Essex
County Club. Manchester-by-th Sea. as
an opponent, and an able competitor she
proved, as she carried the match to the
twentieth hole.
The surprise OF the day was that the
women had the courage to play in def
ance of such driving rainstorm, which
seemed to come from every quarter. and
even made the shelter Of the clubhouse
uncomfortable.
Despite the downpour, some excel
lent golf was played. Miss Adair had
a trifie the better of Miss Curtis on the
start. and led her by up at the urn.
but the Boston girl made a strong An
ish. and they broke even at the home
green; the nineteenth hole was halved.
but Miss Curtis got in trouble playing
the twentieth hole, and Miss Adair

PITTSBURG, Oct. 9.-The downtown

in succession by Collins American
League team from Clarke's Nationals

When Sam Lever lost in Boston it
was announced that his pitching arm
was in such condition that he could
not play again this season. In spite
OF this fact, Fred Clarke allowed him
TO go in again yesterday afternoon. He
fore lost his game.
Up until the seventh inning only five
hits had been made off Dineen, and
these were confined 10 one an inning.
1t was only in the seventh that Pitts
burg had ghost Of a show. In that
inning it succeeded in making four safe
hits and drawing two bases on balls,
which netted three runs.
All of the local batters faced Dineen
in that inning, and II looked as though
he was all in, and Cy Young was sent
out TO warm up. But the veterans SER
vices were not needed, and Dineen re-
tired the side in the next inning in one,
two. three order. and allowed only one
hi in the ninth
Boston didn't score until the third in
ming Then. with two out, Dineen hit
safe to left. Dougherty drew pass, Col
Inns and Stahl made singles, and Free
man was safe on Wagner's error, and
the inning netted three runs.
Boston Keeps Scoring.
The fifth inning was not much better.
for two runs were made of as many
hits. Boston scored again in the sew
enth, when Parent hit into the crowd
for three bases. and La Chance followed
with two-bagger, which brohght in the
run. Beaumont, who has not been hit
ting the ball during the present series
has evidently found his batting eye
again. He managed, by hard work TO
rap out four singles today. while he ran
bases in good style. Collins played a
fine game in the field making some
catches which seemed almost impossi-

VIM. +. BoNsAL's OPINION.
!, E.. FsteH. Clerk of Council:

Mr.. J. E. EsteU, Clerk Of Council:
Dear Sir-In reply to your letter dated
the 7th inst, would say that am heartily
in accord with any Improvements which
you may make on Cooper street in the
way of widening the street or of paving il
in some manner that will be a benefit and
not a detriment to the city; and will
willingly bear my share Of the expenses
attached to the same.
Considering the properties that have been
put up, and are in course Of construction,
it would seem to me that the residents on
the East side are entitled to something
being done.
/ would also call your attention to the
pool of stagnant water on what is known
as the City Park property. The attention
of the different members of Councils has
been called to this before, but no action
seems to have been taken. If it is neees-
sary for all of the people living in this Sec
ton OF Woodbury. to make formal protest
before anything is done, please let me hear
from yon; and we will get together. This
pool is not only unsightly but also very
unhealthy, and has been commented on a
number of times by strangers passing on
their way to the Country Club, asking why
such thing was allowed to remain in that
condition in a place like Woodbury..
