Examinations have broken UP

and everything is quiet in athletic
circles. Next week however. the
thread will be taken up where it was
broken off. and games will be com
ing thick and fast. On the night of
the fifth. our team will play New

have entered together in a relay. and
any one of them may prove to be

teams"
Sundays Times-Dispatch contains
the report that Joynes will be back

true, but if so. our chances for the
championship seem very bright in

Professor T. ]. Stubbs. of the fac
ultY. addressed the meeting of stu
dents in the Parish house. Sunday
evening. Professor Stubbs spoke
of the fact that the Brotherhood OF
Saint Andrew was named for An
drew, who found Peter and carried
him to Christ. and then read a pa
per upon the call o. the world to the
ministry. The point was brought
out that whereas men who enter the
ministry usually stop to consider
whether such step is the will oi
God, those entering other vocation,
do not stop to consider whether il
is best for humanity that they take
such a step. He spoke of the no.
bility of bringing souls TO Christ
and of the heroism wrapped up IT
such work that should appeal to the
instincts for heroism in the young.
DR.. Stubbs' address was interest

ate for the audience to whom he
spoke.

the baseball team and its chances
of victory during the coming season
viii DC the center of thought until
the last game Of the championship
series Is played. Just what these
chances are we do not know. and at
this early stage. It is impossible for
anyone TO predict the success or fail
ure Of our team. However. we
want to say here that We believe the
chances Of putting out a winning
team are better than they have been
in many years. possibly better than
ever before. We have several old
men back and the new material is
reported to De of the best. but It is
not upon these facts that We base
our belief of putting out a winning
team-such things as having excel
lent material have happened at VII
liam and Mary before and. at the
same time. seasons have resulted in
failure. This year however. there
will exist something that has never
before been known at our college
perfect harmony between the sthlet-
ic association and the faculty. and
the hearty cooperation of the latter.
Such a spirit. which has been con-
spicuous by its absence at our col
lege in the past. has prevailed in
other colleges. and they have put
out winning teams.
Il has often been the subject OF
much speculation why William and
Mary did not win games when they
had good coaches and material OF
the best. The question has been
debated in the past and been left
unsolved. but We believe that the
stand We are going to take in the
athletic world in the future will
prove that our failures in the past
were due largely to the spirit that
prevailed here and the misunder-
Standing between the faculty and
students
Just now these two bodies are
working together and the faculty arc
showing their entire willingness tc
help out in every way possible. Al
ready results of their activity may
DC seen. The proposition in regarc
to the financial question. a most i'm.
portant side of athletics. which is al
most csrtain to be adopted. will put
athletics on such basis as was nev.
er dreamed of before at William and
Mary. Already. too. ably repre-
sented in the committee of manage.

In the past. students have lookec
upon membership Of an athletic
team as an honor to be highly de
sired, but at the same time. a thins
that would throw them into high
disfavor with the faculty. No such
thing viii be known in the future
the faculty and students. working
side by side. will henceforth strive
for onegreat common end in athlet
ics-victory.
And so We say that the futurs
looks bright from an athletic poin
of view: We have good ground,
and accommodations for spectator,
at the games, and we feel proud o
it; We have the cooperation of IN,
faculty. and we appreciate it. anC
We have for this reason at least.

NEW WORKERS BUY BIG MILLS

Newburg, N. Y, Oct. ga New

manufacturers have closed negotia-

The deal involves several millions.
The Garner mills were established
by James Ingram of England in 1884.

came into possession of them and at
his death his son took charge. The
son was drowned in New York Bay

the right proportion of exaggeration
and elegance to make an evenings
entertainment of delicious foOlery
Under their touch it seems the most
natural thing in the world for a per-
fectly sane young gentleman to at
tempt a practical joke by playing
coachman and to bring up in the po-
lice court because he had mounted to
the wrong box; and quite the natural
consequence for the young lady, to
the box of whose carriage he had
mounted, to pay his fine and to hire
him for the coachman he pretends to
be. that she may find out at her leis-
ure who he really is. SO they beguile
us step by step into believing in their
escapades. And all because they
play the comedy naturally and vivac-
iously and even with elegance. They
act as men and women are supposed
to act; they point their saterical
comicalities guilessly unconscious of
them.
The play will be presented with

While but few deer have been kill
ed in the immediate vicinity of Ben
nington and only one buck has been
brought into the village reports from
all parts of the state would seem to
indicate that the slaughter is large
and that more venison will be killed
than during any previous open season.

of the deer killed are. does.
About 40 deer. 25 to 80 of which
were does, were killed about Rutland,
Mendon, Shrewsbury and Chittenden.

few tawny spots it is pure white.
Eighteen deer were killed in Fair

the successful hunters were the three

was 290 pound buck shot by John
A. Curley.
Among the big fellows laid low
were $50 pound buck shot by Will
liam Preston of Brandon and one of
270 pounds killed by Healy Bashaw

Waterbury and Gilmore each L.
So far as could be learned about 200
deer were shot in Washington coun-
ty, fully half of which were females.
About 10000 acres of enclosed land in
Washington county are posted this
year against deer hunters.
The supply of license blanks, in
this city was exhausted Saturday eve
ming and City Clerk Merrill made APP
plication for 200 more. Within a half
hour after the opening of the city

issued Saturday.
Twelve or more deer were reported
killed in Woodstock, Pomfret, Bar
nard and other neighboring towns.
Most of them are does.

MAcKEY MENTIONED
North Adams Man May Be Pittsfelds
Manager Next Season.

Although Doc Curtin is the prob
able choice for business manager of
the Pittsfield baseball team for next
season, the directors have yet to de
eide upon a playing manager. Among
the names which are being quite gen
orally mentioned for the position is
that of w. j. Mackey of North Ad-
ans. The shire city club might go a
long way in making better selection
for Mr.. Mackey has the reputation OF
knowing baseball from A to u, while
his past experiences as a manager
speak for themselves. Mackey was
seriously considered for the job in
midseason last summer, when Cy
Ferry had become unpopular with the
directors, but nothing resulted from
the suggestion.
