Systematic Method of Handling

lnhBces IN vogue at Ithaca.
Ithaca. n. Y. Aug 10.-Few if any Of
the thousands OF spectators who wit
ness contests of college athletes from
September until June give much
thought TO the work, outside of the
preparation OF the athletes which is
expended on the games. The idea Of
the majority is that the college pro.
vides field and grand stand or bleach
ers, and all else that is necessary is
for the men TO come out on this field
and be taught by more or less able
man what 10 do and how to do it. That
Is the way 1t appears TO an outsider:
Dut back Of the elements OF sport in
every college there is a businczslike
combination of men who are really the
mainstay OF athletics If IL were not
for them there would be troubles Of a
financial nature all the time, but this
is a fact seldom thought OF. For sew
eral years past the larger colleges have
found that strong athletic association
composed of the managers and assist
ant managers Of the various teams. all
under the guidance Of one man. usually
q graduate. Is an economy and puts
athletic affairs on a more businesslike
roofing than in the days when each
manager settled his teams bills
Suoh an organization has been per-
fected at Cornell University. and in the
offices OF the athletic association there
prevails the air Of the business place
of a solid corporation.
But athletics, while of chief i'm
portance, are not the only business
deals carried on in the Office. The man.
agement Of the Cornell Alumni News
is housed here. and the finances of the
Masque. the college dramatic society.
have during the past year been put in
charge Of the graduate manager
Therefore, with all interests reckoned
upon, The business done in the "Ath-
letic Office" last year amounted to
$685.

TROLLEY WRECK
FROM COLLISION

NATION, ILL.,, Aug. 31.-Fifteen
persons were killed and about so in
jured in a head-on collision between an
interurban express train consisting Of
a motor car passenger train and a
traction care on the Nation &
Charleston electric line this morning.
The crash occurred on a sharp curve
one mile west of Charleston. A con-
fusion of orders received over the
telephone is said to have been the
cause of the accident.
The cars approach each other at a
high rate of speed and the impact was
so terrible that the motor car was tele-
scoped by the traction car. There was
no warning and few passengers had
time to escape by jumping.
The passengers, nearly all of whom
were en- route to the Sunday fair at
Charleston, were crushed or manned
where they sat in the cars.
Some who escaped and were able
to speak say the wreck was gruesome
and the dead and dying were jammed
together. Some escaping screamed
with pain, and children were crying
for their mothers, who were thought
to be among the dead
When the news Of the wreck was
received at Nation, special cars were
hurried to the scene and the dead and
injured brought to the morgue and a
hospital here. Some Of the injured are
in a critical condition.

BR1TA1N's MONSTER CRUISERS.
Successful Launching Of the Indomi-
table Yesterday.

LONDON, March 16-The Indomitable,
the first of the new class of armOred
cruisers, of which the Inflexible and the
Inyincible are also nearing completion, and
which compare with the old armored
cruisers as the Dreadnaught does to the
older battIeships. was successfully launch

is $50 feet long, exceeding the older armor-
ed cruisers by fifty feet, has turbine
engines and is expected to attain the high
speed of twenty-five knots per hour. The
armament of the Indomitable includes eight
twelve-inch guns. almost equaling the main
battery of the Dreadnaught.
By special order of the admiralty the
greatest secrecy Is being maintained con-
corning the details of the construction of
this, the largest cruiser in the world. The
cost Of the cruiser is approximately S.
100000. While ostensibly a cruiser, her
actual status has not been definitely set
forth and 1t Is believed she approaches
nearer to a battleship in armor and arma-
ment
Sir William Pearce, chairman of the Fair
field company, the builders Of the warship.
presided at luncheon after the launching.
He said he was not permitted to give any
information regarding the cruiser and that
she must remain a mystery until the Official
trials or until the admiralty saw At to take
the public into it's confidence. Rear Admiral
Bancroft also spoke at the luncheon. He
said he was confident that the Indomitable
Ii occasion arose, would carve out for her
self a record that would live in the an
nails of naval history.
The two sister ships will be launched
within fortnight.
