IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS
Colby Ready for Bates Game
Next Saturday at Lewiston.

Hunt, classmate of Reed is likewise
putting up a stiff fight for the place.
Cary has been tried at left end with
Mikelsky ii substitute. Although he
received his early training in quarter
back position he has developed phenom-
inallv as an end. Welch at quarter
back has done exceedingly well and it
is yet prohlematical what the final de-
cision of the coach will be relative tc
these two positions. The confidence of
the team is the same whether Cary or
Welch are passing the pigskin.
Erwin is all to the good on right end
and the work of Packard as substi-
tute has been meritorius.
But if Colby has a good line this year
she depends fer the most part upon
her fighting backs Left half back is
filled this year as last by Ralph Good,
Captain of the team He shows the
best generalship III team management
of any recent captain, and gets right
into the game himself in way which
has made Colhy's opponents thus fal
this season see stars.
Right half back is being played by
Captain Goods brother, Roy Good
who made an enviable record for him.
self as captain Of Kicker last year. He
is a heady player with plenty of sand
and has shown himself able to take
unflinchingly all kinds of punishment.
Vail and Welch have been playing full
back alternately and Bisbee has been
substituting at right half back. Vail
received an injury in the Fort Mckfn-
ley game which makes his appearance
Saturday doubtful, and while coach
and captain have probably made up
their minds who will be placed at full
back, yet one of the strongest candi-
dates for the back field will appear ir
that place in Saturdays game.
Coach McDevitt or Captain Good de
clined to make any statements.

Waterville, Me, Oct. 21.-(SpeciaD. -
Colby will play her first Maine Inter
collegiate game of the season next Sat
urday afternoon at Lewiston with
Bates, and although the members
of the team are working hard and
saying little, there appears to be
feeling of confidence that Colby will at
least make q good showing against her
rival Whether victory shall tall to the
Blue or the Crimson nobody on the
Colby Campus is bold enough to pro-
phesy, still it is an open secret that
the Colby team this year is the strong
est in the history of the Watervil!e in
stitution and far surpasses in general
all round efficiency the championship
teams which Colby has placed on the
gridiron in past years
At center is the veteran Hamilton
whose work thus far this season has
fulfilled the promises OF last year. The
guards have been strengthened by the
addition of Rogers to the squad, the
man who distinguished himself in ex
cellent fashion in 1908. Three other
men of varsity caliber are availab BILE
for right or left guard. These are
Green, Mahaney and Thompson, all
good mon and players who may be de-
pended on in any emergency. Although
the tackles are in doubt as to their
personnel, there is little question of
the satisfactory work which will be
done by the survivors Of the elimna-
ton process which is being carried on
by Coach McDevitt Tidd, who has
had three years experience at left tao
lile is in the game this year with all his
wide experience at quick command.
Sharpe, freshman is competing close
~ for the position. Rec. the big fresh
man from Skowhegan High has been
tried at right tackle with good success.

BOWdOin Eleven
VS.. Holy Cross.

Brunswick, Ne, Oct. 21.-(Special.)-
The Bowdoin football squad today put in
some hard practice to finally prepare for
the Holy Cross game, as the team will
leave at II A. NJ Friday for Worcester.
Considerable time was spent in punting
and trick plays but there was no scrim-
mage Coach Russ McClave has decid-
ed to take Boynton, last years center, to
play against Holy Cross instead of King,
who has been playing center thus far this
year. Boynton has only been back in
college for a few days but is showing his
old-time form and much is expected of
him Saturday. Track Coach Morrill, will
accompany the team to Worcester to keep
the men in the best of condition.
The probable lin cup for the game will
be: Ri. e, Hurley; IT. Crosby; TT, g, Hast
ings; c. Boynton; lg. Pratt; 1t. Captain
Newman; 1t, f. B. Smith; OBJ, Sullivan;
rh, Farnham; In, Frank Smith; fb, Kern.
Matthews. substitute end and Ballard,
who played left half last Saturday against
Exeter Will be taken along and it is
probable tb at some of the second string
men will a lso be taken. :
Bowdoin Second will play Westbrook
Seminary Ilext Saturday in Portland and
is hard at work in preparation for the
game. All are resolved that the final
score SHALL not be similar to the Hebron
score and as Hebron also has a good
team this year from all reports the game
promises to be one interesting to watch.
The pro ibable lineup is as follows: Re,
Marston. 10; TT, Cowan, 10; re-, E. Weeks,

second team has another day of practice
before 'the game but it is probable that
the men named will be the ones taken
on the trip by Assistant Manager Berry.

APPEALS TO COURT IN
HOTEL LEASE FIGHT.
Claims He Gave Notice of Re-
neWal in Time.

Summer sojourners at Asbury Park
will be somewhat interested in a bill
fled In the Court of Chancery by Jacob
L. Newman, on behalf of Millard F.
Smith, of Camp Hill, Pa, for the spe-
cific performance of clause in the
lease that was given him by the owner
of the Colonial sHotel, Frank M.
Cooper, which gives him a privilege of
renewing the lease for one year more,
provided that he give notice of such
intent before the expiration. This.
Smith claims, he did, but Cooper, he
says, will not abide by the terms.
The Colonial Hotel is situated at 1916
Eighth avenue, Asbury Park, and is
well known to all visitors to that re-
sort. Smith first took hold ON April
1, this year, under lease that expired
October l. In anticipation of taking
advantage of the renewal clause, he
installed a vast amount of furniture.
Now he finds himself in predicament.

relief from the court

Head-On Collision-Vic-
Tins in Hospital.

In head-on collision today between
two donkey engines being used by the
construction company having charge
of the work of the Pennsylvania short
cut to Thirty-fourth street. New York,
at Kearny, eight workmen were in
jured. two of them seriously. They
were taken to the Jersey City Hospital.
The accident took place at about 8
o'clock this morning. at which time
there was heavy fog The north
bound engine had one "gondola'' car
attached to it. on which were the la
borers, the south-bound engine running
alone.
Coming suddenly through the fog and
realizing his danger, the engineer OF the
south-bound train reversed his engine
and jumped. So far as can be learned.
he was not injured. The engine, thus
left alone, ran backwards at terrific
speed. suddenly stopping of it's own ac-
cord at the village of Homestead, three
miles away.
A work train from the Pennsylvania
shops was called and the injured men
taken to West Side avenue, Jersey City.

Reported at Board of Works
Hearing That Grade at Neck
Lane Will Be Abolished.
SCORES RAILWAY FOR
NEW TRANSFER ORDER
Matter Is Referred to Chairman
Denman of Commission for
Further Investigation.

Prior to the meeting of the Board Of
Works today General Superintendent
Frank L. Shepperd, of the Pennsylva-
mia railroad. was in conference with the
members of the board with relation to
the abolishing of the last of the grade
crossings of the Pennsylvania railroad
on the Newark line of the road.
1t is the understanding that the rail-
road shortly contemplates doing away
with the Neck lane grade crossing. The
matter was discussed late today at the
full meeting of the board.
Commissioner Lambert scored the
Public Service Railway Company for its
new rule. which requires that transfers
shall be good only at certain intersect-
ing points on the road
81 thought we were all over the
trouble" said Commissioner Lambert.
Coming down on the Orange line
within the past week I was on two
occasions accosted by the conductor as
to what point I wanted by transfer

The matter was referred to Chair
man Denman of the street committee.

MYSTERIOUS FIRE In EAST
ORANGE LEADS TO PROBE.
Find Oil.soaked Rags in a New
House.

A new house in course of construc-
tion in Burnet street, East Orange,
near Beech street, caught fire in some
mysterious manner early today and
the department had a stubborn battle
with the flames before they were final
ly extinguished. This Is the second
new house on fire in the same manner
in the city within a few weeks.
Policeman John Dempsey was patrol
ling along Burnet street when he saw
flames issuing from an upper story
and sent In an alarm. When the en-
gines reached the house, a few minutes
after the alarm was sounded, an upper
room was all ablaze and the flames
were spreading rapidly. Dense smoke
made 1t difficult for a time to reach
the flames. but after half hours work
the department got the upper hand. It
is expected that the damage will be
less than 800.
After the fire Chief Markwith made
an investigation and found several OIL
soaked rags on the second floor, where
the fire started, but he did not know
they had been used to set the
building on fire. A considerable guam
tity of shavings was also strewn about
the floor and he decided to continue
the investigation.

while we were in Cuba my husband
made my \life miserable because
would not go out on the streets and
assist him in his revival meetings on
the corners by singing hymns. Final
ly he suggested that if l would leave

So testified Mrs. ]. W. Bowley, of e72

Mrs. Bowley admit that she passed her
self among the neighbors and trades
men as Mrs. Morgan. She didn't deny
this fact, but said in excuse that this
was easier than taking the trouble of
correcting people when they made this
mistake. Letters were produced signed
by the defendant as Mrs. Morgan
It was admitted that Bowleys salary
was $1,000 a year, but Mr. Osborne
tried to prove by a number of checks
that he had cared for his wife. The
checks all proved to be for small
amounts, the highest being for 81 and

JERSEY CENTRAL NAMED in
SUIT AGAINST RAILROADS.
Federal Sugar Company Charges
Discrimination.

| WASHINGTON, Oct faction has
been begun before the Interstate Com
merce Commission by the Federal Sugar
Refining Company of New York against
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the
Central Railroad of New Jersey, the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western,
the Erie, the Lehigh Valley, the New
York, Ontario and Western and the
Pennsylvania. Allegations are made ~
unjust and unreasonable charges for
the transportation of sugar from New
York city to Eastern and Western
points, and discrimination against the
complainant in favor of John Arbuckle
and William A. Jamson, who operate
sugar refineries in New York and
Brooklyn.
The case involves the much-mooted
question of lighterage of sugar and
other freight from points within the
lighterage limits of New York city and
the rail terminals. 1t is alleged that the
defendant lines assess unreasonable and
unjust rates against the complainant
from the rail terminals to Eastern and
Western points, and that they charge
the Federal Sugar Refining Company
more for transporting its sugar than
they charge Arbuckle and Jamison,
thus subjecting the complainant to
prejudice and disadvantage.
1t is alleged further that the rail-
roads do not allow the Federal Sugar
Refining CompanyNas much for lighter
age from factory to railway terminals
as they allow Arbuckle and Jamison.
The complainant demands from the
railroads $2,243 as reparation for al
legged discrimination against 10.

Evade Discussion on Scheme
Outlined by Members of
Monetary Commission.
"TOO EARLY TO TALK"
SAYS PRESIDENT PLUME
General Opinion Is That Details
Are Too Meagre for De-
bate at This Time.

National bank officers of Newark
sidestepped when an attempt was made
today to interview them on the pro-
posed Central National Bank plan as
outlined briefly by the eighteen mem-
bers of the Monetary Commission. who
have been studying money conditions
for long time.
All of the bankers said they wanted
more time to consider the new plan and
also wanted more and fuller informa-
Mon than that contained in the bare
outline that was telegraphed through
out the country from Washington on
Tuesday
e.It is too early yet to, make any
statement said President ]. w.
Plume, of the Manufacturers Nationals
President David H. Merritt, of the
National Newark Banking Company,
saida"It is entirely too early for any
banker to express an opinion on the
matter as yet. In the first place the
Monetary Commission has given but
the barest outline Of the plan they are
working on and lot more of the de-
tails will have to be known before
bankers will be in position to discuss
Personally l have not given the mat
ter. any serious consideration"
At the Union National Bank Presi'
dent William Scheerer declined to dis
cuss the matter at the, present time.
Il have just returned from a long trip
abroad and got back to work only yes,
terday, So 4 am really not In touch
with recent developments. The Central
National Bank idea is really only in
It's infancy. and there will have to be
a lot mort time and thought devoted
to it by the Monetary Commission be-
fore big central bank will become a
possibility"
vice-President and Cashier Jay S.
Treat, of the Merchants National.
spoke in the same vein as Mr.. Scheerer.
claiming that the matter was one that
was too far in advance of the present
day to be discussed at this time.
vice. President F. B. Adams, of the
Essex County National Bank, said he
had no time to devote to any proposed
plan for central national bank. 1--WE
devote our time to this bank, and that
Keeps us busy" said Mr.. Adams.
Other leading bankers and lawyers
connected with banks took the same
view, and could not be persuaded to
say what effect the proposed plan
would have on the banks as they exist
today. wait until the Monetary Com
mission gives out its entire plan, and
then we will be in position to talk"
was the general tenor of answer when
the question was asked as to how 1t
would affect the national banks and the
money system of the country. ut is
no use trying to figure out anything
from fragmentary and incomplete out
lines, was another general conclu-
sion.
New York bankers are taking about
the same view as Newark bankers.
They all ask for more time and fuller
details before they care to discuss the
scope and possible benefits to the in
dustrial conditions of the country as
outlined in the Washington story CIV
ing the plans proposed by the Monetary
Commission.
