Cortland F. Bishop, president of the
Aero Club of America land Augustus
Post, the celebrated aeronaut, were
in st. Louis recently to look over the
field for the international balloon race
to be held in the Mound City next Oct
ober.
The horse show recently held at
Seattle, WASH, came very near ending
in row. 1t seems that some of the
exhibitors got real angry when they
failed for the blue. Better try an au-
tomobile show next time and let the
bubble makers and not society
run it.
The joint meeting of the schedule
makers of the two major leagues to be
held next week is awaited with much
interest. 1t is difficult to forecast just
what will be done, as the National
league has gone on record for 1874
games, while the American league is
out for the short season.

Many of the Stars of Days

Governor Carter of Hawaii. a former
Harvard football and baseball hero
who, since his appointment by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. has given the country
rules over the best form of gov
eminent ever enjoyed by the natives
of that sunny cline, is an example of
the strenuous players success.
Bowditch, another Harvard football
man, and cracking good end of the
1902 team, has made an enviable re-
cord for himself as the United States
consular secretary at Dalny, in the
far east. Bowditch was a lightning
end, and one of the speediest men ever
known in getting down the field on
the ball
Experts at the game declare that
"Bowdy" had even the great Frank
Hinkey of Yale beaten on quickness
in getting down on a kick.
But Hinkey in all-around playing
and especially when on the offensive,
was head and shoulders above any
man who ever played the end position.
He was the hardest player of his day,
as we'll as the fiercest tackler, and it
was nothing unusual for him to put
from three to five men down and out
In every game. But no one would ever
notice him when he turned the trick,
although the umpire would watch him
like a hawk.
Frank is in prosperous business
at his home in Syracuse. He was one
of the Yale coaches this year.
A famous gruelling player of diff
ferent order was the scrappy Prince
ton end. sport" Donnelly, who is
now in business in Chicago. Donnel-
ly was built on the lines of fighter,
while Hinkey was not, being a rangy
constructed youth, and light even for
an end.
Donnelly was famous for using his
fists, and was said to be the best man
In the college world of that day when
it came to the gloves. He put many
a man out of business during his foot
ball career, and after graduating he
played on the memorable Chicago
Athletic Football club, an all-college
star organization that came pretty
near Gripping the eatire Cornell team
when the Ithacans played them in
Chicago in the late '90s.

Received Word.

Steener Steenerson received word
today from his brother Arne Steiner
son and cousin G. STEVENSON, the two
young men who were on the wrecked
WilistOn train stating that they were
not injured in the least. The list
given as injured passengers included
every passenger on the train and this
statement will bring relief to any peo-
pie who had friends mentioned in the
list of passengers. There were only
few who were hurt and only two
whose injuries were serious.

Donnelly was accused of handling
five of the Cornell boys so badly that
they We're laid up for weeks. One of
the fellows had his eyes almost knock

ed at the time.
John R. Dewitt. the great Prince
ton guard. and the surest goal kicker

Dewitt is given the credit of being
the best all-around guard that Prince
ton ever turned out, and they have
turned out some real live guards at
Princeton. too. He was mountain OF
strength and had the stamina of a
bull.
Few guards in the world ever had
the knack and quickness of getting
through the line with the ball as had
Dewitt. He resembled in build and
style Of play the famous Hickok of
Yale. who was also champion ham,
mer thrower, but not the all-around
football player that Dewitt was, al
though in defensive or offensive work
in the line it is hard to see where De-
Witt had thing on Hickok.
1t was always a source of commits
Grafton to football enthusiasts that
Dewitt never played in the days of
the giant Hefaefinger, of Yale, who,
it is claimed by men who should know
never had an equal in his position.
Perhaps this is more than correct, as
Hefflefinger in his time, was never
headed, although one may only Judge
by comparisons. Hefflefinger, by the
way, is making so much money now
that he turned down President Roose-
velt's offer to make him a civil service
commissioner short time ago.

have organized a union of their
own. The teamsters' international
union exercises jurisdiction over
both truck men and teamsters, but

charters. The truck men have not
received their charter yet, but are
