II our wise and economical ~ legis-
lators could have appreciated the i'm
portance Of providing for the destruction
OF these terrible pests and saved few OF
the Thousands Of dollars appropriated
for the support of our state pauper,
known a. the "University Of Maine" It
might have prevented the ravages In .
great degree of this terrible scourage
which is sure to como unless heroic
measures are taken to check it. Domes-
tic economy and Legislative economy are
two things, and the latter ID apt to be
dropped upon arrival at the Legislative
halls. As the Hon. John P. Swasey
once remarked, "There is nothing that
will make . man at our Legislative halls
so unpopular as to practice economy In
appropriations"
We will, however, give the majority
Of our legislators credit for turning down
one Of the most selfish, ignoble PROPOSE
tons ever presented before an intelligent
body. We refer to the greedy measure
presented by the Union Water Power
Co. to drain the lakes below Gods level.
The Rangeley Lakes have an enviable
and worldwide fame a. being unexcelled
for scenic attractions in New England.
Let the state foster and preserve its
natural attractions a. far a. possible, as
a mine Of increasing wealth and pros
perity. Other means are left to manu-
featuring corporations to enlarge their
capacity and increase their facilities.
Our manufacturing interests are valuable
and should be encouraged, but not at the
expense of injuring the natural scenery
for which the Pine Tree State il noted.
We admire the courage and loyalty Of
Mr.. E. P. Kicker, who stated his views
honestly, although obliged to do SO via
paid ads. in some Of our state papers,
that now the thing 10 settled, come TO the
front and tell how WE! saved the

NEW HAVEN. Conn. Sept. 25.-Three
of she candidates for the Yale varsity
eleven reported yesterday. THEY were
Burch. who has been on the sick list
since his arrival last week at New
Haven; Buster Brown and Reinecke.
Burch went to his old position on the
vtarsity's right end. Brown, the giant
of last years freshman eleven,
was put at left guard on the regulars,
and Reinecke, who was the. freshman
efeven's best tackle last fall, played
tackle with the second team yesterday,
and showed up strongly.
Paigne, who played left tackle on the
varsity of 1905, was also m uniform.
working In his old position.
Tad Jones. whose health has been
poor, took his regular place at quarter
back and ran the varsity with a snap
and dash that pleased the coaches.
The weather was too hotifor a scrim-
mage, so only signal work was done.
The varsity lined up as follows:
L. e., Howard Jones; |. l., Paigne; l. g.,
Brown; C., Cooney; r. g., Goebeli r. t.,
Captain Biglow; +. e., Busch; q. Tai
Jones; J.. h., Berger; r. h., Bomar. and
I. b., Coy.
Carl Flanders, Jim Hogan and Cap
tain Biglow coached the line me whil'
Head Coach Billy Knox. De Witt C5ch-
ran and George Chadwick looked after
the backs.

Finishes in Tie for
Fourth Place With Jer-
sey City Team.

Thanks to the Rochester team, which
snatched a game from Jersey City in the
last hour of the Eastern League season
yesterday, Newark did not have to en-
dure the humility of finishing In the sec
ond division. The Colts and the Shelters
were tied for fourth place at the close
of the race, but no~one can deny that the
locals finished in the first row. The
deadlock will remain unbroken, for Burn
hams men have already dispersed and
gone to their winter haunts. doing away
with the possibility of a post-season
series.
1t was bitter medicine for Jersey City
to lose the second game yesterday. The
Skeeters needed two victories to pass
Newark. and used two Of their strongest
pitchers, Mason and Moore, in the hope
of accomplishing the feat. They won
the first game In a walk, 7 10 1. but lit
tie Rochester sneaked way with the
second, a five-inning affair. 4 to 2. This
was the first time in the history of the
Eastern League that Jersey City failed
to finish ahead of Newark.
Rochester has been a troublesome
bowlder in the Jersey City's road this
season. TIL Broneos not only upset the
Shelters chances yesterday, but nave
been a source of trouble to them all sea-
son. Bucks men won eleven out of eigh-
teen games from the Insects. Only one
other club was more successful against
Jersey City. That was Toronto, which
LANDED fourteen out of twenty games
Buffalo. though beaten out for the pen
nant, has the distinction of being the only
club to best the new champions In the
seasons series, having won nine out of
seventeen games.

ACADEMY ELEVEN.
Red and Black Team will Be Lighter
Than in Past Seasons.

The prospects for having a champion
ship football eleven represent the New
ark Academy on the gridiron this season
as the candidates who are trying for posi-
ions on the team are much lighter than
they have been In a number of years.
Although the Academy loses nine men
of the championship team Of last year,
Coach Mayser Is confident of turning out
a fast light eleven to carry the eolors of
the red and black to the front. Those
who will not be back on the team this
season are as follows: John D'Aule,
tackle; Charles Hoxey. end; William Bali
ley, tackle; Karl Kats, guard; Harold
Earle. who was recognized as about the
fastest school boy end in this vicinity last
year; Lawrence Boynton. fuilback; Ray
mond Clews, halfback; Joseph Conlon,
quarterback; William Schmidt, guard,
and Philip Roth, quarterback.
On account of the rainy weather the
squad has been able to do but little prac-
tise recently. but Coach Mayser is conf
dent that the squad will get down to real
work by tomorrow afternoon. As the
Orange Oval is TO be cut up in building
lots the academy team will have to do all
its work In Branch Brook Park. and the
first practise will h. held there tomorrow
afternoon in the northern section.
Following is the list of the candidates
who are expected to be out: Jones, Ber-
ger. Mackin, A. Bissell, G. Bissell. Weeks.
Eberstadt, Coursen, Noe. Lehman, Brig
ham. Hill, Hathaway, Staeger.

SHOW
UP WELL IN
PRACTISE
Ends Make Short Work Of
Flying Dummy More
Men Report.

PRINCETON, Sept. 25.-The Tigers took
advantage Of yesterdays fine weather to
get in a good afternoons work. From the
time the men tumbled on the field at 3
o'clock until the whistle called them back
after 5 there was not a moments time
wasted. A feature of the practise was the
first appearance of the tackling dummy,
which was hailed with joy by the husky
athletes.
Tackling a dummy is not like a scrim-
mage, but 1t is a lot nearer to 1t than run
ming through simple formations at full
speed. The ends pulled down the mimic
warrior again and again with beautiful
flying leaps which would have brought any
grandstand to its feet, and the heavy line
candidates charged it bull-like and hurled
1t far under the hay. Altogether 1t WIS
a pretty well-jolted dummy which was car
ried Off the field at the end of the prac-
tise.
Roper paid marked attention to candi-
dates for the end positions of the Tiger
line in the afternoons work. Wister and
Brown and Dowd and Vaughn, McCor-
mick. Tibbott and Harlan did most of the
punting and sent the leather far. The
speedy ends, however. generally out
sprinted the punts and we're ready to nail
the runner when he got the ball.
The end candidates were given a chance
to do n little interference. breaking a
picked set of backs and getting past them.
Dillon afterward took charge OF the regn-
lars, while Dawson. who is proving him
self a hustler, took another team and
raced the big fellows up and down the
gridlron for a snappy signal practise.
Fouike. captain OF the 1903 team was on
hand to assist in the coaching.
