 The Cincinnati Enquirer in comment ing on Yaes rough play, has the toi- lowing to say:
 ''rhe game was so rough at times that Referee Blanchard had to warn the spec tators that he would surely stop the con test if the crowd did not desst in hissing the visiting players. Members of both teams were seen many times sprawhhg around the floor. but neither side lodged complaint Near the end of the last hal Referee Blanchard had to warn Noyse that the next time he caught him using any unfair tactics he would be removed from the game. and the player obeyed the official and had no more trouble.
 Yale won every game on it's southern trip with comparative ease except the one 1t lost to the Birmingham Athletic club.

 These scores make the Athletic clubs victory of 24 to IS all the more creditable' and gives the team an indispueted posi- tion at the head of southern basket ball.
 "Bin' Huey is back in the game again after being out three or four years. Huey was for several years the best center in the south and ought to show up well this season.

 THE EASY OIL.

Scott's Emulsion is "the easy oil"-easy to take, easy in action. It's use insures deliverance from the griping and nau- seating sensation peculiar to the raw oil. Nobody who has any regard for their stomach thinks of taking cod liver oil in the old way when Scott's Emulsion IS to be had. It is equally certain that no one havinga regard for their health will accept a cheap emulsion or alco- holic substitute for Scott's Emulsion. It fulhlls ev- cry mission of cod liver oil and more.

Sew enteen bookmakers drew in Sam Most, the Kansas City plunger, being the lat est addition 10 the line of layers.

Finder, Trolley Men and Police
WranE1e Over Cents.
A witty little Irishman and q Metro
poltan street railway inspector spied at
the same instant Monday a purse in a
seat on a Lexington avenue car crossing
42d street. The inspector reached for
it a second too late, says the New York
World.
Here, you'll have to give that up"
demanded the Inspector.
You don't say" said the man with
the treasure trove already in his pocket.
Remember the Maine"
The conductor of the car took stand
beside the inspector and then the motor
man tumbled off his platform with con-
troller bar ready for action. But the
three street car men could not feaZe the
little Irishman. The inspector finally
summoned a policeman, after traffic had
been blocked so long that passengers In
about twenty stalled cars were thinking
about getting out to foot 1t.
The policeman advised the purse find
er to give 1t to the Inspector, but he
was firm, and SO policeman, inspector
and purse finder five minutes later were
standing before the desk in the East
51st street police station.

son Of Erin, land I'd like to say that
I've lost a lot Of things in me time, but

The desk sergeant told Malloy that
he would either have to give the purse
into the custody Of the railroad en-
ployes or the police. He explained that
under the law Malloy could claim the
purse in five years If the lawful owner
did not recover 1t before then.
"Well, thin, open it up" said Malloy,
passing the purse over the desk to the
sergeant. 1t was a black leather recep-
tacle, with a near-gold rim, and 1t look
ed plethoric.
There was a craning Of necks as the
sergeant unclasped 1t and shook out 3
cents
The sergeant shook with laughter.
The car inspector looked sheepish. NAL
10y was ready to fight.
"Say, Malloy." said the sergeant, 'if
nobody claims this purse ccfore July 8,
1911, you go down to police headquar-
tiers and they'll give It to you"
Sure" snapped Malloy, land 1t may
be worth me while, If have no more

questing him not to press his resigna-

The first landing of the force Of
marines to garrison Camp Columbia
commenced today. The coming
ashore of these men, as well as tue
arrival of some 5000 soldiers, is not
considered locally to intimate any hos
tile purpose. Governor Tart said that
he did not anticipate any trouble, and
the bringing in of these forces was
chiefly to restore confidence in bust

ers. The American troops will be quar-
tered in permanent barracks in the
same manner that they are distributed
at home in time of peace.
