GRIDIRON GOSSIP.

The attention of the local sporting
fraternity will this week turn to Den
yer, where the Washburn football
gladiators will battle at Broadway
park Saturday afternoon. The rela-
tive merits of Kansas and Colorado
have not been tested for three years,
as the representative teams of the two
states have not met in that time
Three years ago, the University of
Colorado played here tying with Wash
burn in a scoreless game. A week
later Kansas won from the Mountain
GERS at Lawrence by a score of 16 to 0.
Last year Denver had one of the best
teams west of the Mississippi The
Denverites held the strong Carlisle In
dian team to a score of 8 to 0 on
field which was muddy and gave the
Indians every advantage. The Denver
team is a good one this season. In
game last Saturday Denver defeated
the wyoming university team by
score of 81 to 0. Washburn will be
lighter but faster, and may put up a
pretty even game. At any rate the
contest will furnish a good COMPARE
son.

The first real battle for the football
supremacy of Kansas will be fought
out at Manhattan Saturday when the
Aggies and K. U. teams vie for hon
ors But three teams this year are
recognized as competitors for the state
mpionship-Kansas, Aggies and
Washburn. The team which wins Sat
urday has only to meet Washburn to
settle the controversy. The Aggies
have shown a great Improvement in
the past few years. Five years ago
Washburn trounced the Aggies by a
score of Sc to 0. The next season
Washburn just managed to win. This
was Mike Ahearn's nrst year there,
and since then the Aggies have been
strictly on the football map in Kansas.
Last year a little overconfidence al
lowed K. U. to win and spoiled the
Aggies chances for the honor, al
though the Aggies were regarded by
many critics as K. US equals. This
year the chances point to hard game.
The Aggies played Missouri almost to
standstill. and with a line and sew
eral backs left over from last season
Ahearn's pupils will give the Kennedy
tribe plenty of trouble from the start.

THE LORD HE SERVED.

Judge George F. Lawton of the
Middlesex Probate Court, told me a
story the other day of an American
minister who was spending his sab
batical year travelling abroad. Arriv-
ing in London, he made every effort
to get an intimate view of the two
branches of Parliament in session.
Of course no stranger is allowed on
the floor of the House of Lords, but
the minister not knowing this, and
with the usual amount of American
push tried to make his way in. There
is a rule, however, that servants Of
the various lords may be admitted to
speak to their masters. Seeing the
minister walking boldly in the door
keeper asked:
what lord do you serve?"
What lord?" repeated the aston
ished American, "the Lord Jehovah!"
For a moment the doorkeeper hest
tated and then admitted him. Turn
ing to an assistant standing near, he
said:

BUCKINGHAM UNPLEDGED
 CANDIDATE

The news that the chief opponents
 the nomination of City Clerk E. T. Rockingham had withdrawn opposi- fion because of the conviction that the City Clerk was the choice of the rank and file of the party, was greeted with much pleasure today by those who fol- low the rapidly passing current of po- liticaa events.
 The statement made by Tax Collec- ktnr John M. Donnelly that he is not
 Candidate for Mayor, but favors the cnsadidacy of Buckingham, is what had been expected, for 1t has been we'll known by those in touch with political sentiment that MT. Donnellys' real de- Dfre was to be nominated for Tax Col lecfor.
 One factor that causes Democrats to Congratulate themselves is that MT. Buckingham win be one of the few absolutely unpledged candidates who have sought the Mayora1 office during the history Of the city MT. Bucking- ham has not made pledges, and will not make any, except that if he is nom mated and elected he will conduct the office to the best of his ability for the welfare of the city and the satisfaction of his party.

SPEAKER BANKS SUPPORTS SUNDAY BILL; BUT HOUSE
 SUSTAINS GOVERNORS VETO

the bill on the ground that it was legislation favorable to the poor mans son. Johnson of Newtown in one of his characteristic humorous speeches spoke against the bill as did Payne of GriswoId and Scott of Plymouth. i
 Speaker Banks then took the floor and said that if the House rejected the bill it would commit a grave error. ing his duty as he saw it, he said the members should consult their own Judgment in casting their votes. s"rhe present law" he said, provides that everything we do of secular nature excepting works of mercy or necessity is criminal.'' He denied that he want ed to see a. law passed that would re- suit in. a wide open Sunday. Rather he desired to adapt the Sabbath to the best sentiment of the native born stock of Connecticut.
 Taking up the bill section by section he declared that Sunday baseball was not permitted under it's provisions any more than it is under the present law.
 Leader Burnes closed the debate with an appeal for the passage of the bill. The vote was then taken and the Governors veto sustained.
 Representative Chandler of Rocky Hill said he first opposed the bill be- cause he had given his pledge to do so to certain organizations. Now, in view of the attitude of the Governor and the closer study of the provisions or the measure he was convinced that it should not become a law He said he had discovered that no appeal could be taken, if justice denied that any kind of sport was for the welfare of the particular community in which the issue was raised. He stated that it was a -pernicious and insiduous piece of Legislation and closed by stating that organized labor was opposed to the bill and that Catholics as we'll as Methodists were against the letting down the bars.

 Hartford, Aug. 1S.-The House today sustained the veto of Governor Weeks on the new Sunday law, by vote of 104 to S2 The Senate yesterday pass ed the bill over the Governors veto. {
 Speaker Banks left the rostrum to- day during the debate and came into the breach between those arTayed for and against the Governors veto upon the Sunday bill. It was the first time at this session of the Legislature that the Speaker has participated in a debate. Calling Representative Platt of Milford to the chair, yMr. Banks ad- dressed the House saying that he ap- peared as the gentleman from Fair field'' and not as the Speaker. He supported the measure.
 The Governors veto was first taken up being the order of the day for Il :15. House leader Burnes@a sked that the veto be read and w,xfn the clerk fin action of the House in passing the measure be reconsidered and when this vote was passed he moved that the report of the committee judiciary. the bill be passed. He then stated that the matter had been thoroughly discussed when it originally came be- fore the House, that the objections been gone into by the members of the House from cellar to roof and that the Governor has really cited nothing new. He believes that it was the duty of the House to pass the bill notwith- standing the GoverI OTIS veto.

JULY FATAL
 TO BABIES Modern Slaughter of Inno- cents Caused by Bad Sani- tation and Ignorance INFANT DEATHS
 HALF OF ALL Bridgeport Record Worst of Three Major Cities of
 the State Life Chance for Child Under One Year Least in Anson- ia. and New Britain

Bridgeport in July is not a healthy place for babies. The July report of the state board of health shows that the mortality among children under five years of age was a little more than half of the total mortality and great ly in excess of infant mortality in Hartford and New Haven
 In Bridgeport, in July, 140 deaths oc- cured, of which 5o7 per cent were of children under five years of age, Children under one numbered 60 deaths and children between one year and five years, Il deaths.
 In Hartford were 147 deaths. of which only sS.3 per cent were of cfil- dren under five years. Children un- der one year who died were 43 and 6 were between one year and hve years
 In New Haven 190 deaths occurred, dren under five years. Forty-six died before the first year was over and 22 more before the fifth year was reached.
 cut in which in July a child under one had the smallest percentage Of chance of life. Of all deaths here 6S.7 per cent were of first year babies:
 Of the cities Waterbury and New Britain alone have a higher death rate among little ones. In the former city 52S per cent of. July deaths were or babes and in New Britain 64 per cent.
 A well known physician said today that much might be done to decrease the death rate among infants by con ducting a campaign of education among the thickly settled tenements in which dwell large numbers of the recent corners to this country who have not yet learned the lessons o1 sanitation and hygiene.
 It is the opinion cs this doctor that Bridgeport, measured by the deaths among it's adult population, will be found to be a healthier city than any other in Connecticut.

SUTTON
 VERDICT Naval Board of Inquiry Finds that the Lieutenant Killed Himself SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS OWNDEATH" Revolver Fired to Commit Suicide or to Shoot One of
 Restraining Persons "No Possible Charge of Criminality Could Be Brought AgainstsO thers''
Especial from UnitedPress.,

Washington, Aug. 1S.-The Naval Board of Inquiry in the cese- of the death of Lieutenant James N. Sutton has found that Lieutenant sSutton was killed "by a revolver shot from asser-. vice Colt revolver held in his own right hand and fred by thimself with out the intervention of any other hand"
 The court adds as it's opinion .-fhat "no possible charge of cr1mlnalftyl could be brought against any part1ci- pant in the fracas. except Iieuteuant Sutton himself, and that 4ieutenant8 Sutton is directly and solely responei- ble for his own death, whichtwa self inflicted either intentionally or in an effort to shoot one of the persons re- straining him, and his death was not caused by any other party" =i Of the charges made by the mother of Lieutenant Sutton. the court says:.
 The charges of wilful murder and conspiracy to conceal 1t made by the complainant, Mrs. Sutton, mother of Lieutenant Sutton, are purely imagin- ary and unsupported by even sl1zd-s ow of evidence of truth or reasonsn
 A minority report was made by the commander. John Hood, D. S. N. pres ident of the court in which he concurs in the findings and admits he is of the opinion that Iieutenants Willing Rev. an and UtIey should have been. brought to trial at the time for neg lect of duty and that Lieutenants Adams and Osterman should have re- ceived punishment for engaging in a brawl unbecoming officers and gentle men. He concurs in the recommenda- tion that no further proceedings be taken at this timeonly because of their youth and inexperience at that time, and be-. cause of their being-in a. sense the victims of crime for which they themselves were not responsible. Beck man Winthrop. acting secretary of the navy, also takes occasion, in approv-| ing the findings of the court to de- precate the laxity of discipline as shown in the testimony. He says: The results of this ,1axity have brought serious dfscredit on the Of f1cers directly responsibles for the eff1-. ciency of the institution, but unfortt- whole." ssz
