POLO LEAGUE
70 OPEN NOV. 6

November 8 will see the opening OF the
National Polo league in this city. when
the Gray will have as opponents the
strong Pawtucket team.
President McKenna stated last night
that he was practically certain that New
Haven would waive its claim TO "Bill"
Curtis so that the latter could play first
rush I'm this city. where he is employed
with the Congdon * Carpenter company,
and owing To his position with that firm
will not play polo in another city. With
Curtis first rush, all the positions for the
local club are secured. Manager Galligan
OF Boston, who resigned last week, has
reconsidered his action and now wants TO
go on with team in this city. When his
resignation became known TO President
w. Peet, the latter went on and arranged
for a team Galligan was present at yes
terday's meeting OF the league and IL was
decided that w. w. Hanna OF New Brit
ain, chairman OF the franchise committee,
would examine the offers OF both GaIligan
and Peet and dispose of the Boston fran
chise to the party showing the best secu-
rlty and prospects.
An interesting decision at yesterdays s
meeting was that regarding the use OF
shin pads by goal tenders. II was voted TO
regulate the width of these to nine inches
from seam To seam. so that some OF the
big fellows will not be able to appear with
legs built on TO barrel size.
President McKenna says that the OPEN
ing In this city will be celebrated with a
parade.

MEETING OF LEAGUE MOGULS

New York, Oct. 2S--Thls will be a busy
week for everyone interested in minor
league baseball clubs. Many of the most
prominent men identified with the game,
outside OF the two major league organi-
zations, have arrived in this city. and
every association from the Pacific TO the
Atlantic coast, including the Canadian
clubs will be represented.
In the morning the board OF directors
of the Eastern league will meet at the
Victoria hotel. and at noon President p.
T. Powers will call TO order the annual
meeting OF that league.
In the afternoon the national board OF
the National Association of Professional
Baseball leagues will meet at the Fifth
avenue hotel, and on Tuesday the annual
meeting OF the national organization viii
be held at the same place. There has
been a great deal OF talk recently con-
cerning the possible withdrawal of the
American association from organized
baseball, but II is believed that President
Powers will straighten out this week any
tangle that may exist and that the Amer
ican association will remain inside the
fold OF the national association.

work was such that some thought he had

night at the Cooper A. c., Boston, he
meets Dave Deshler. who was defeated
two weeks back by Rouse O'Brien. Glover

of bouts in New York. His work against

HARVARD TO RAGE
Cambridge AGAIN

New York, Oct 2S.-Word comes from
Cambridge university, England, that Har-
varied wants a return rowing match with
the Cantabs after the Olympic games next
year II is not stated where the Americans
want the race rowed, but It Is inferred
that is will be on the Thames at Henley.
After the race last year there was some
talk that Cambridge should come to
America for the next race, and the theory
was partly accepted until there was
statement from the Englishmen that they
would only cross the Atlantic after the
Americans showed them their stern. In
other words, Harvard will have TO keep
going over until she wins, and then Cam
bridge will come over here.
1t is not definitely stated whether Har-
ward has sent a challenge. but the race
has been the topic of much discussion by
the Englishmen recently. From the Cam
bridge gossip II can be gathered that the
Light Blue is willing for another tussle
with Harvard, and at this rate the race is
now almost assured,

FIGHTING BOB
MAY Be MADE
VICE ADMIRAL

Washington, Oct. 2s.-The great battle
ship feet which is to make its way from
the Atlantic to the Pacific will probably
be commanded by a vice admiral. and
that officer is now Rear Admiral Robley
ID. Evans.
or course this is conditional upon con-
gress giving it's sanction to the proposal
that will be made by the president TO re-
establish this rank In the navy.
Rear Admiral Evans will be in COM
mand OF the most powerful fleet that ever
gathered under the American flag and
will command more battleships OF modern
type than any other officer In the world.
The only officer whose pennant floats
over more numerous feet OF all kinds
of warships Is Lord Charles Beresford,
who holds the rank OF admiral.
IL wifi be pointed out that Admiral Ev-
ans. by reason OF his remarkable service
record. is entitled To this advancement.
and as he retires next August the office
will be OF short duration.

James C. Mccoy, a summer resident of
Nayatt Point says he believes that the
international balloon race last week
aroused greater interest in ballooning as
a sport and as a military factor than has
ever before been evoked I'm America.
Mr.. Mccoy is vice president of the Aero
Club of America one OF the winners OF
the Lahm cup, and piloted the balloon
America in the recent contest and finished
fifth.
Said he: "Baliooning in a contest Is
much different from a pleasure cruise In
the air. Ballooning may be pure JOY
when pleasure Is the object, but when to
the ordinary care of navigation is added
the effort to navigate better than others
who have started under the same condi-
tions there Is no cessation OF the strain.
IL is trial OF skill and knowledge. One
watches the weather and the instruments
as closely as yachtsman watches sky
and sails.
THE first night we sailed northeaster-
ly little to the eastward OF the Illinois
river, yet we did not sight Springfield or
any of the large places excepting Pom
tiac. ILL.,, and as we neared Lake Mich
igan we could not find an air current
that would carry us any further in that
direction.
while the ground wind was to the
northeast. between 800 and 1900 metres
above the earth there was a steady east
ward current, and i'm this we sailed all
the next day. Tuesday. When we parted
company with the other balloons Mon
day morning we in the America congrat-
ulated ourselves that we were outISint-
ing the others. Tuesday morning we
sighted three others OF the balloons, one
TO the north and two TO the south, too
far to be identified at that time
"Al that day the America kept I'm the
easterly current. and IL was pleasant
sailing. In tne evening we passed over
Marion, o., so, low that the voices and
sounds from the earth were heard, but
not low enough TO hail the people. With
our best endeavors we could find moth
ing better than n current which set to
the southeasterly. and the Ohio river was
crossed near Wheeling, w. Va, at IL

"The night was a trying one. IL was
very cold and the balloon had been light

sea level In order To- give the Allegheny
and Blue Ridge mountains n good clear

balloon is extremely sensitive to changes
in temperature. and as cold belt was
suddenly entered the balloon would drop
half mile at a time like a shot before
1t would equilibriate.
Every such drop must he watched
for on the instruments, and lively work
is necessary TO stop such dives or, for
that matter, too rapid ascents. The
crew must stand ready TO throw out bal

tons are threatened.
THE first town definitely made out
Wednesday morning was Harper's Ferry.
This was at 43O Washington was passed
over and the question of ending the
voyage soon became a pressing one, for
both Chesapeake bay and the eastern
shore country in Maryland are good
places to keep away from under the con-
ditions under which the America was
sailing.

the ground wind was 40 miles an hour.
The conditions were extremely hazardous.

but the rules of the contest permitted this.
and as the others went without anchors
we did likewise in order not to he handi-
capped Near Patuxent. on the west
shore of the Chesapeake. the opportu-
nifty for making land was favorable, and
as we would soon be on the coast we
came down.
"The race may not have taught any,
thing particularly new about constructing
a balloon. but II has aroused an interest
in aerial navigation. and will advance the
balloon as means OF sport and as n
mlitory factor. IL will encourage the
study OF the aeroplane and dirigible bal
loon"
Mr. Mccoy says he believes that a diri-
gible balloon will eventually carry some
air navigator TO the North Pole.

AMBASSADOR
WANTS TO QUIT
CHARLEMAGN: TOWER ASKS
PRESIDENT TO RELIEVE
HIM.
LEADING AMERICAN DIPLOMAT
IN EUROPE WHO HAS DONE
MUCH GOOD.

Berlin, Oct. S.-Ambassador Charlie
magne Tower has written President
Roosevelt asking that he be permitted
to retire from the diplomatic service
next spring
Mr. Towers reasons are understood
to be that having been abroad TO-
pearly II years he desires again to
live in his own country In order to
have a home there for his sons, who
a:e now nearly ready to go to Har-
ward college, and to give his personal
attention to his extensive financial,
mining and railroad interests that
have been left to the supervision OF
others during his long absence.
Towers retirement will remove
from the diplomatic list one of the
most experienced of the American re-
personalities in Europe. He has
been continuously minister and am
bassador longer than any other diplo-
mat in the American service.
In addition to the public questions
with which Mr.. Tower has dealt
in tariff negotiations and the opening
recently of negotiations regarding the
status of American citizens of Ger
man birth in Alsace-Lorraine, he has
had exceptionally agreeable relations
with the American colony in Berlin
He was chiefly instrumental in plac-
ing the American association of COM
merce in proper relations with the
| German government and in obtaining
for the business interests represented
| by the association adequate recognt-
ton from the German authorities.
He has been very welcome at the
German court because he was known
to possess the entire confidence of his
own government, and he has been able
to get all that he ever asked for on
| behalf of any American.
