Princeton, n. j., Sept. 22.-With the
opening today of Princeton univer-
sity, the Tiger squad begins formal
football practice under the direction
of Head Coach Jim Mccormick, who
has been here some time preparing
for the fray.
Mccormick has made a wise selec-
ton of assistant coaches. Harold II.
Short, '02, and Thomas E. Butkiewicz,
who played guard for Princeton two
years and then finished at the uni
versity of Pennsylvania, will have
and Johnny Poe, 81, will take the
scrub in hand, while Head Coach Nc
Cormick will care for the develop
ment of the backfield. Of the advisory
committee, consisting of Walter Booth,
90; Phil King, '93, and Howard Henry,
'04, the ends will receive the attention
of Henry, the backs that of King, and
the line, especially the guards, that
of Booth. The work of Butkiewicz
and Short will be concerned with the
tackles principles.
The Coaching System.
The coaching system has been en-
Enthusiastically received whenever pre-
scented in theory. How practical it
will be is a matter of a few weeks yet
for decision. 1t is pretty generally
understood that Head Coach McCor-
mick will have absolute charge of the
men on the field. Watever his as
sistants or the members of the trium-
virate advisory committee may con
coct will be gone over and dilated
upon in conferences and put into eff
feet after due consideration has been
given each matter.
Hoped to Avoid Dissension.
In this way is is hoped to avoid the
dissension of a many-sided system,
McCormick's football fame of 1907,
when he made a wonderful showing
at fullback and was easily Camps
choice for all-American honors, has
given Princeton's followers a great
deal of confidence. His generalship
was particularly evident in that ia
nous twelve to ten struggle at New
Haven, when the Ellis wrested sure vic
tory in a second half that will live
in football history. With men like
Hart, Dawson, McCrohan, Cunningham,
Read, Bard, White and c. Mccormick,
the Tiger head coach will have some
extraordinary material with which to
develop an offense.

MARRIAGE OF A BEAUTY
MISS ELLEN DOUGLAS BRUCE AND
CHARLES T. CRANE.
One of the Most Important Functions
of Year From a Social
Standpoint.
Especial to The Free Press.I

Richmond, Va, Sept. 22.-One of
the most important weddings of the
year in Virginia, from q social stand
point, is that today which will unite
Miss Ellen Douglas Bruce, the famous
beauty of the Old Dominion, to Charles
T. Crane, III, son of Charles r.
Crane, United States minister to China.
The fact that Miss Bruce was en-
gagged to Mr.. Crane has been known
to the friends of the young m
in Virginia, but kept a secret by them
for more than a year. Miss Bruce has
spent a portion of her time in Rich
mond, where she has many friends and
relatives, each year since her debut.
Twelve months or more ago her fance
accompanied by his father, visited
Richmond in order that the older man
might make the acquaintance of the
southern girl who was destined to be-
come his daughter-in-law.
Miss Bruce is noted for her beauty
and culture, and not only in Virginia
but in the north and west, in which
sections she has often visited. Her
father, the late Alexander Bruce, was
a we'll known Virginia capitalist.
BERRY HILL" the ancestral home of
the family, is one of the show places
of Halifax county. Miss Bruce is a
sister of Malcombe Bruce, who mar
ried Miss Myrtle Heisen, daughter of
C. c. Heisen. of Chicago.

HOW DAN CUPID WON
CONTEST IN THE RACE WITH THE
MARATHON RUNNER.
Dorando Pietri, the Little Italian Mar
athonist, Is Now Spending His
Honeymoon in His Native Land
With a Charming Bride; What a
Charming Romance; He Insists
That There Is No Ficklesness.
Especial ia The Free Press.1

lSFSS'eh ~
Rome, Sept. 22.-Dolorando Pietri, the
Italian Marathon runner and. the erst-
while hero of cheering multitudes in
New York, London and other cities,
has just returned to his handsome
villa in Carpi, built from the proceeds
of Italy with his pleasant bride.
There have been many reports of
Pietri's fickleness in love, but these
were not warranted by the facts, as
the bride is the first love of the IA
nous runner, whom he wooed when a
bakers boy in his native town.
His Romance Is Interesting.
Dorando's romance has interested
many people. 1t is a matter of sport
ing history how the wiry little man,
waking from swooning sleep after the
great run from Windsor to the Stad-
ium, to find himself no longer a hum
BILE cookshop assistant, but an ath-
lete talked of the world over, set out
to seize all the opportunities of for
tune that suddenly shone golden be-
fore him. The Americans "put up"
thousands to entice him over. He went
and reaped them.
And a pretty maid whom he left
behind in Carpi when he first set OUT
to start his adventures in London
went all the way to America to en-
courage her hero. Her name vas
Tereza Dondi. The maid of Carpi, who
missed the London race, was there at
saw her lover really win without any
mistake.
Dorando Was Rich.
At the end of this race Dorando
was already rich beyond the widest
dreams he and the maid ever cherished
in their Italian village. But the maid
went home again unmarried, because
Dorando could not think of weddings
whilst offers were coming by every
post for races in which thousands
more were ready to put in his hat.
So he was set down as tickle. In
terested folk said that success had
turned his head-"swollen it," as the
phrase goes. How much his fortune
from racing was could be wildly guessed
from the fact that the Melted $4,000
from his last American race, run be-
fore he spoke. 1t was suggested that
the prosperous athlete meant to for
get the uncovered maid of Carpi who
had been content with the cookshop
boy.
Said He Never Was Tickle.
"But [ never was tickle, inc never
meant to be-" he says. And in ear
nest, it is now known, he used part of
the fortune he made by his many
Marathons to build a villa at his ma
tive place. And of the completion of
the villa he married Tereza Dondi
The happy pair returned there after
the honeymoon, spent under the blue
Italian sky.
Dorando should make pretty Miss
Pietri a good husband. He is an alb
solute teetotaler. He lives on a diet
of meat, broth, and eggs, washed down
with nothing stronger than coffee.

DIED IN HIS PRIME
ANDREW J. BURMEISTER PASSED
AWAY LAST NIGHT.
He Was a Well-Known Resident, Hav-
ing Engaged in the Grocery Bust
ness Here; Prominently Identified
With the Building and Maintenance
of Emmanuel Hospital; Was Strick-
en- With Sickness Two Weeks Ago.

In the death of Andrew j. Burmeis.
ter, which occurred last night at the
Emmanuel hospital, the community has
lost a most valued citizen. Mr.. Bur-
meister's death occurred shortly after
ten o'clock and it came as a terrible
shock to his family and friends. Mr..
Burmeister attended the state fair two
weeks ago today and returned to the
city with symptoms of typhoid fever,
which resulted in his being taken to
the hospital on the following day.
For a while his condition was not con-
sidered serious, but the early part of
the week a change for the worse came,
from which he could not rally.
Native of Denmark.
Mr.. Burmeister was born Oct. S, at
Denmark, and attended school there.
He also attended school in Germany.
When twelve years of age he came
to this country and settled in Buffalo,
where he lived five or six years and
later moved with his parents to South
Bend, Mimi, where the family engaged
in farming. Twenty-six years ago., Mr..
Burmeister started in the grocery bust
ness as delivery boy, in which enter
prise he made steady progress, rising
step by step until two years ago in
August, in company with T. NJ. Evans,
Mr.. Burmeister bought out the Sherk
grocery store. Later Andrew Flo
bought out Mr.. Evans interest, chang
ing the firm name to Burmeister &
Flo.
Mr.. Burmeister was married Sept.
20, 1889, to Miss Marie Thompson,
who with three children survive him,
Clayton j., Clarence B. and Elroy H.
Burmeister. Other surviving members
of his family are his mother, Mrs. M.
Burmeister of Chicago; a sister, Miss
Marie Burmeister of Mankato, and
four brothers, John Burmeister, Mime
apolis; Chris Burmeister, Mankato;
Charles Burmeister, Chicago. and Harry
Burmeister, who is living in the west.
Deceased was a a4tp,ber of Our
Savior's Evangelic.r's LaTtaeraA ehurch,
trustee and member of the Mems So
ciety connected with the Lutheran
church, and one of the directors of
Emmanuel hospital.
Death Deeply Mourned.
Mr.. Burmeister's death is one that
will be deeply mourned by a large
number of friends, and his bereaved
family are receiving heartfelt sym
pathy from everyone who knew him.
His was a lovable nature and his kind
ly heart beat with a sincerity for all
mankind. In his home he was an in
dulgent husband and father, the well
fare of his family being always upper
most in his every action. AS a bust
ness man, his principles of strict in
tegrity won for him the lame of being
absolutely dependable and straight
forward. As a friend he was always
ready to lend aid both with material
means or with the kindly word. He
was quiet and reserved by nature, but
the g~enuineness of his character showed
in his every act of life. Mr.. Burmeister
was a man of only the highest ideals
and he is to be sadly missed in the
home, in the business circle, in the
church and in the community at large.
