NEW YORK, Sept Poor
old England has many jolts. but
the sauciest slap on her sesamoid
bone was delivered when the
Meadowbrook team won the in
ternational polo cup. Not even
the recent fear of a German inva-
sion caused greater sensation
among the titled fortune hunters
than the coming to this country
of the famed trophy.
Downcast but undaunted, Eng
land is determined to regain her
prestige on the polo field. And
who do you think has come to the
rescue? No other than King AL
fonso of Spain. Not having his
hands full with war, a revolu-
ton and the nursery, he finds
time to start a lend-a-hand mis-
sion.
With Ally Thirteen as long as
their hearts beat are the dukes
of Westminster and Roxeburghe
and the earl of Lonsdale, who
form an advising and devising
committee, the sole aim of which
is to invade us with the best polo
team England can assemble.
Oh moicy! Imagine the hifalu-
tin doings Long Island is in for

coaches arrive and begin super

REDUCTION IN
Rates

Contending that switching rates
in Seattle are established by city
charter and that they are un-
profitable to the railroads, North
ern Pacific attorneys yesterday
argued before the state railroad
commission that there was no dis
termination in favor of the Elliott
Bay city as compared with Ia

Henry Blakeley, general western
freight agent for the N. p, was
the principal witness yesterday
for the railroad company. The
Tacoma Traffic association had
presented its side of the case
August 4 and the matter now
rests with the commission.

ing are of the opinion that the
commission will order an i'm.

SPORTING NEWS OF THE WORLD
LANGFORD BUSY
FOR SOME WEEKS

Samuel Langford is going
to be a busy pusson for the
next few months. The dusky
stumbling block to aspiring
heavyweights has three
messes of trouble on his fu-
ture book.
First and most important
to Samuel is his soiree with
Stanley Ketchell, booked for
the Fairmont club, New York,
the evening of Sept. IT,
which fight is tipped as the
most promising fuss the met
ropolis will witness this fall.
Just five days after he
and Ketchell settle their diff
ference, Samuel will hike
off to Columbus, o., there
to meet Mike Schreck in a
six-round engagement.
And then in October, when
grapes are ripe, Samuel will
cross the ocean to London
and meet Tommy Burns, once
champion of the world. Hugh
Mcintosh of Australia, pro-
moter of the Burns-J ohnson
scrap, will put on this last
attraction, and as Samuel is
as strong as a 20-mule team
in England, the affair is ex-
pected to be a money-maker.

PRISON DOORS NEVER LOCKED
Odd Place for confinement, on Sark,
One Of the Beautiful Cham
mel Islands.

Sark, the loveliest Of the channel
islands, possesses a. quaint old prison
Of two cells, more as matter Of form
than of necessity; for serious crime Is
almost unknown In the island, which
has no paid police, but simply an
elected constable. It Is some years
since the prison was called into requi-
sition, and on the last occasion the
bolt was found to be so rusty that
1t had to be broken before the door
could be opened. The prisoner was
then put in, left all night with the
door open, and made no attempt to
escape
On another occasion young English
servant, who had stolen some clothes,
was sentenced to three days imprls-
onment. The prospect SO terrified her
that the authorities took pity on her
loneliness and considerably left the
cell open. The little maid sat in the
doorway and was conso,ed by kind
hearted Sark women, who came to
keep her company.
A still more curious incident Is told
of a man who was convicted for
neglecting his wife and children. He
was ordered to betake himself to the
prison and there wait for the arrival
of the constable. This he did, sitting
outside until the door was opened to
let him in.

It was Sunday morning and the
Wayfarer was hungry. He walked
slowly down the street, scrutinizlng
such houses as might give promise OF
a breakfast, or, at least, a starter on
one. Finally ne selected one that
showed signs of life on the interior.
He sauntered slowly toward the back
door and knocked. A woman answered
the rap.
Good morning, lady" he said, with
a smile, at the same time hosting his
travel-worn hat, 81 just dropped into
see if you would give a fellow a little
starter on a breakfast. Not a whole
breakfast, pray of you. Only start
err and then | will go on to another
neighbor, thus not exacting too great
sacrifice from your Sabbath menu"
The woman of the house stood
stupefed She had never heard such
a speech from tramp before.
"Well-well, well, what could give
your" she finally sputtered.
He spied two halves Of grapefruit
on the table. They had been sweet
ened the night before and the sugar
gave them highly luscious tone. Lit
tie patches of unabsorbed sugar still
rested on the crests. The wayfarer
looked at them longingly.
Il only ask for a starter on break

starter will 60 on for the rest"
But | hardly know what"
"Ycs, it is hard to solve" he inter-
rupted. But, don't you know, | am
abnormally foolish about grapefruit"
And what else was there for her to
do but to give that which stood as a
visible supply.
