Relief Work Systematized.

"The next important step was to ar
range for the systematic reception and
distribution OF supplies. Fortunately
the splendid organization Of the United
States army is eminently fitted to cope
with this difficulty. Under the system
now in force under the quartermasters
the army receives. unloads and trans
ports all the supplies that are consigned
for the relief of the sufferers. Officers

OPEN SCHOOL NEXT MONTH

The public school will be opened in
the new Euclid avenue school house
on Monday, November 10, according
to the building committee of the board
of education.
William Downie, general foreman Of
the construction of the. school houses.
said yesterday that the sub-contractors
had been much hampered in their work
by the delay of heating apparatus and
toilet fixtures due from the east, and
that this condition rendered it i'm
practicable even to get waivers on the
contractors to occupy the buildings
before completion and acceptane on
account of the sanitary necessities.
President w. j. Washburn of the
board of education, said that every
move was being made to get the School
houses ready for occupancy, and to get
the full-day schools started in them
as soon as possible.
'The method now pursued by the
board of education" said Mr.. Wash
burn, "in the construction of the
school houses, is much better than the
former loose manner of the city coun-
ell. We are watching the contractors
closely and when 1t is found that they
are not coming up to the specifications
of their contrats we make them do the
work over until 1t is right. We are
determined to have good school houses
when they are finished"

Fully 700 people gathered at the Long

Tommy was fast and shifty yesterday
and appeared to revel in the salty air.

Megaphone Cook, who rendered various
vocal selections during the afternoon,
announced that a swimming race would
occur in the bath house pool between
Tommy and Memsc.

EWING RECEIVES
CLERICAL PRAISE
GREAT BALL PLAYER SUBJECT
OF DISCOURSE
Famous Diamond Expert Was Re-
spected Not Only on the Field,
but Also by the Gen.
eraI Public

Buck Ewing was regarded as one of
| the greatest ball players that ever lived
and the occasion of his death a short
| time ago resulted in a pathetic tribute
| by clergyman, the Rev. Don G. Tullis,
who in an address to men and boys of
Cincinnati several days ago spoke as
follows:
THE shades of evening are beginning
to fall upon the diamond of life, the
game is almost ended. Breathless the
crowd sits awaiting the end.
'The score is a tie. Everything is in
the balance.
This day will decide not the worlds
championship, but the greater struggle
Of eternity.
"One there is among the war-scarred
veterans upon whom all eyes are fas-
tened.
He has won many game before.
HE has heard the yplaudits of thou
sands, and received the applause of mil
lions in his day.
"Will he be able to win this game?
"The shadows descend, the crowd is
breathless.
"All depends upon him.
1T is no time for single.
He has made them before, and has
won many a game with them.
"a base on balls will do no good.
'It is no time for a sacrifice.
There is but one thing will count in
this closing moment-a home run.
Can he do it?
Death hurls the ball toward the bat
ter.
"'Strike one,' the umpire cries.
Again the sphere flies by while the
batter stands unmoved.
"'Strike two,' comes the voice through
the gloom.
There is but one more chance.
HE pulls himself together, his frame
like ironS
His features are immovable; the ball
once more speeds toward the plate
with one supreme effort he Swings
the stick and sends the ball to distant
corner of the field, ands the dauntless
Ewing starts upon his last circle of the
bases.
"One, two, three-the ball is being
rapidly returned.
"Will he make it?
"It is close race. He takes the one
and only chance, and throws himself
headlong upon the ground for the last
slide.
For moment all is confusion. Sud-
denly the dust clears away and the
great umpire of the universe Is heard to
say Safe at home.'"

SON OF ELI
FuIlback on Scrub Team Promises to
Become More Famous Than

Times
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Nov. A.
George Almon Coy, fullback on Yale's
freshman eleven, has been picked by
DR.. Frank j. Horn, medical examiner
at the Yale gymnasium, as the best
built and probably the strongest man in
the entering class.
His remarkable versatility in athletics
surpasses the achievements of the fam
Gus Tom Shevlin.
Coy is a brother of Sherman Coy, the
star end on Gordon Browns eleven. He
has had years of consistent athletic
training and has paid careful attention
to physical culture. He came to Yale
with a remarkable record in prep
school athletics, having played football
and baseball at Hotchkiss school for
three years.
There he also ran, jumped, threw the
hammer and put the shot. He is a
speedy hurdler and gymnast of prom
ising ability.
DR.. Horn said today: "Coy has long
trunk and short legs with a powerful
physique, and should have little trou-
BILE in capturing the title of strong man
of his class. He would have made the
varsity eleven this fall if freshmen had
not been debarred, and his classmates
declare that he will captain the foot
ball team in his Junior year.
He is going out for baseball in the
spring and may become a member of
the gymnastic team when the football
season Closes"
Coy weighs 1856 pounds stripped, and
is six feet one inch in his stocking feet.
His home is in Milford, Conn.,

fighters only. 1 am going to have
place where fighter can train without
being molested, where they can pound

by daily ten-mle jogs without having
to run over country roads or city
streets I am going to have a training
track, large building and regular
hotel, where fighters can eat and sleep
as well as train.
when my joint is fitted up I'll let
them in and take an order on the club
for my end of the dough. I'm not a
