WAR CRUISE
NOW UNDERWAY
Left Hampton Roads Direct
For South American
Ports.


the way to Mare Island from Hampton
Roads for the Pacific cruise Of AID.
miral Evans 16 battleships, Rear Ad-
miral Sebree. commander OF the spe-
cial squadron consisting Of the cruis-
ers Tennessee and Washington. began
the voyage Saturday at II a. m. at
Norfolk.
The vessels are in all respects frst<
class battleships, although known as
armored cruisers, but they are the
best of their class In the world. Ar.
rangements have been made for the
coaling Of the ships at seven stations
en- route The contracts for the carry
ing of the coal for the whole feet
were let Saturday. 1t Is expected that
with the charges for carrying coal the
total expense will be about s1,250, 000
Itinerary Of Trip.
The itinerary arranged by sebree
when his squadron sails is as follows:
October ~, leave Hampton Roads, ar
irving at Port of Spain October II;
October 81, leave Port of Spain, ar
irving at Rio de Janeiro, November 2;
November 9, leave Rio de Janeiro, ar
irving at Montevideo November 10:
November 20, leave Montevideo, arriv-
ing at Punta Arenas, entering the
Straits of Magellan November Is; No
vember g. leave Punta Arenas, arriv-
ing at Callao December Z; December
IA, leave Callao for Magdelena Bay.
There the two ships will go through
regular naval maneuvers in company
with the two new armored cruisers
California and South Dakota The
four ships named are of the same size,
each being 1850 tons displacement,
having an indicated horsepower of 49,
900 and having Is guns in it's main
battery. The California and South
Dakota were built by the Union Iron
Works of San Francisco and are now
in that vicinity.
Mobilization of Ships.
The California is in commission and
it is expected that the South Dakota
will be ready for active service by the
time the special service squadron ar
rives on the Pacific coast The Ten
nessee and Washington will be the
vanguard of the greatest number of
ships of all classes that has ever
ploughed the Atlantic and Pacific in
one undertaking.
1t is estimated today that the feat
of transferring the fleet means the
of "a ships of all kinds
divided this way:
Sixteen battleships.
Six torpedo destroyers
Thirty merchantmen with coal
Eight golfers of the navy and one
repair ship.
Add to this the st. Louis, which has
already gone as part of this aggrega-
ton and the total is 81 ships. All the
vessels will follow practically the
course adopted for the special service
squadron. The cruise has already been
made by numberless warships large
and small, including the historic Ore
gon.
None of the warships will go around
the end of Cape Horn, that being the
route now being used by sailing yes
sells. The only warship that has made
the voyage around the horn in recent
years Is the Funboat Tacoma. which
went in those waters in search of a
missing merchantmen.

woman, an unmarried Washington

WON'T DRoP MICHIGAN.
Penn Considers Contest with Western
ers Best Game on the Schedule.

Whether or not Pennsylvania meets
Princeton at football next fall will not
affect the annual game between the Quak-
ers and Michigan, which will be played on
Franklin Field, providing, Of course. some
thing unforeseen does not arise to interfere
with the present arrangements. A certain
number of the Red and Blue alumni are
working hard 10 bring about a renewal of
athletic contests between Pennsylvania and
Princeton, and would like to substitute the
Tigers for the Wolverines on the football
schedule, but Mike Murphy, the veteran
coach of the University OF Pennsylvania,
whose word carries such weight that a
statement from him settles any doubtful
matters, is authority for the statement
that the undergraduates of Penn demand
the game with Wisconsin.
Tit University Of Pennsylvania will
retain the Michigan game on her schedule
just as long as the Wolverines care to meet
us" said Mike Murphy. michigan de-
East. They made a wonderful showing
last year in the field and track cham

which beat them on Ferry Field would
have beaten any football team in the
country that day, or on Thanksgiving Day.
THESE WesterneTs are good sportsmen.
You do not hear their undergraduates
growing under a defeat, nor do they pro-
test their opponents players. They play
good, hard football, and are going to give
us a great battle on Franklin Field next
season.

STONE, THE SILENT MAN OF BASEBALL

There Is no player connected with base
ball who more deserves the title THE
Silent Man. than George Stone, the WON
derful outfielder OF the st. Louis Browns.
Despite tine great success be has attained
in his chosen profession, he is as modest
and as inassuming as can be. He says but
little about his fellow players. but when
he does 1t is always words OF praise.
Every member of the st. Louis team
thinks there is no one like Stone. and it's
a question II ever a more popular player
wore a st. Louis uniform than the great
outfielder.
The discovery of George Stone was a
mere accident. Not so many years ago he
worked as a clerk and played bail purely
as a pastime and to get a little exercise
after a days work indoors. The little
town of Coleridgc. Neb., claimed Stone as
its native son at that time. Stone was re-
garded MS quite a ball player by the "rubc
fans In the Vicinity Of Colerldge. but his
reputation didn't cover more than thirty
miles OF Nebraska's territory. 1t happened
that quito a rivalry existed between Cole
ridge and one of its n~elgilboring towns
A series OF games was arranged and the
rival team loaded up for the occasion, Sc
curing a number of reserves from the
Omaha team. among them being a pitcher.
Ailoway. The twirling of Ailoway was too
much for all the members of the C~olerldge
team except Stone, he securing a single, a
double and three home runs. Thus did
Stone start on the road to fame, Alloway
