The st. Benedict Prep. team scored a
hollow victory over the st. Johns Prep
School team, of Brooklyn, in a game
played yesterday afternoon on the
Casino Hall court. The final score was
54 to 10. Pete Jones was the star of
the game, scoring most of his teams
points. Henega1 was only in the game
during the first period of play, but
managed to cage the leather six times
while on the floor.
In a, game replete with the sensa-
tional playing of the members of both
teams the Princeton quintet conquered
the Pennsylvania five by a score of 81
to 90 at Princeton last night.

1t looks now as If Billy Murray will
have to go to the civil courts with his
case, for it is understood that Horace
Fcgel will not appear before the board
of directors of the National League TO
offer a defense to the Murray com
piaint lodged there. Fogel contends
that Murray had not signed as a player
and that the directors have nothing to
do with 1t. 1t doesn't seem fair to de-
prive Murray of his rights, and If they
do on the above score, it should be a
lesson for all managers to sign as
players. Then they would have re-
curse to organized baseball. The
Fogef plan is technically correct but
not very sportsmanlike.

New York, Brooklyn, Chicago, Phila-
delphia and st. Louis clubs are salts
fed with the 16S-game schedule drawn
by the champion. schedule maker,
Charley Ebbets. Cincinnati, Pittsburg
and Boston var the short schedule.
The long schedule, as dra wns by Ehbets,
is a great piece of work and really has
fewer conflicting dates than one would
expect, hence the inability of it's OPP
ponents to defeat it. Ebbets is being
praised for his work on it as is evil
dent from the following conversation
heard 10 the corridors of the Waldorf
Astoria yesterday:
"Ebbets is some schedule manufac-
turer,'' said the first. man
You bet said an Eastern League
manager"
pat Powers said the long schedule
drawn by Mr.. Ebbets was the greatest
thing he had ever seen.
"Why this mar Ebbets,' declared the
Eastern Lacquer, "loves schedule-mak-
ing so much that he draws the Eastern
League schedule or anybody else's that
comes to him"
1t isn't quite SO certain today that
the short schedule will be adopted.

Has Little Rock, Ark, a baseball team
in any league? l.. n.
Little Rock was In the Southern

was made by the Little Rock Baseball
Association to get a Texas League
franchise, but it was unsuccessful No
plans have been made to date for a
team to represent Little Rock in Or

John Miller signed a contract for 1910
with Pittsburg yesterday. 1t is said
that Miller's agreement calls for 5000.
That's about right, for it is understood
by the writer on good authority that
the Kearny boys mentor, Hans Wag-
ner, was behind Johns refusal to sign
the $2,100 contract with a $500 bonus
for certain o~bservances offered by
Barney Dreyfus. Miller should have
a better year han ever because he is
a player that always improves n has
been improving with each game for
the last three years.

President Powers has announced his
umpires for the season. There are six
of them, Byron, Finneran, Stafford,
Murray and Tom Kelly are the veter-
ans. John A.. Boyle, of a Western
League club, is the sixth man. The
Eastern League umpires last year did
good work. generally making just
enough blunders to inform a fan that
they were human. AS a staff, it
isn't likely that the men can be im'
proved on very much And we say
good luck to the men right now and
assure them hat they won't find New
ark the hard place they think it is.
The one suggestion we woul make
to Mr.. Powers is to let us see as much
of one umpire as of another next sea
son, and not have Umpire Byron fol
lowing Newark all over.

CONFESSIONS OF LAURA JEAN

Tom Hood, who never rested The sole of his foot in America, sat in stuffy London printing office and. pressed for copy" wrote ans ode to Niagara that yet remains to be equaled. Nearly all the romance of the Tennessee moun- tains is bound up In the volumes Of Craddock and Fox. If you want to en- joy the pyramids, don't visit them. Look at the pictures, and then trust to your own heart and imagination to fill out the scene.
 It was Emerson who said in one of his essays: 'The primeval world-the fore- world, as the Germans call it-I can dive to 1t in myself" So with love and Laura Jean. Take 1t from us, this chaste, though burning Sappho has plunged. She has dipped deep into the well of her own heart, and drawn thence that which has stirred more sweet bangs in this old world than ever came forth from Pan dora's casket. And, like Pandora, after letting loose all the trials and tribula- tions that hover over loves thorny path, she finally releases hope.
 Let the faithful be reassured, though carping critics howl. Her books are her vindication. Laura Jean knowsi

FATE OF A TUG
ba wasb,na-to Post

From the Washington Post.
 'I imagine that very few persons have seen a boat put out without a soul aboard her." said R. c. Higgins of New York at the Shoreham. "A few months ago, though, I witnessed just such an incident. It was a tugboat, the Lillian Moir-I remember the name well-that made the trip. Her crew brought her into Coney Island creek along about 10 o'clock at night. Just as she approached the anchorage it was discovered that she was on fire. I suppose the usual efforts were made to save her, although I wasn't near enough to see. At any rate the fire was too much for the crew, and they made their getaway. As I learned later, the captain was afraid to bring the boat farther in on account of the danger to the other craft in the vicinity.
 ''The tug was headed toward the ocean, and the wheel lashed fast. The captain and the crew left the boat, and the tug was started on her last voyage. As she went out toward the sea the searchlights from Fort Hamilton and Fort Wadsworth rlayed on her. Whether she sank or is still drifting around, 8 charred hull, don't know. But the sight of the blazing boat steaming out toward the ocean was a very impressive one"

From the Boston Evening Transcript.
 The Malaprops of travel are coming home-in fact, the bulk of them have arrived already and their relatives along with them. The Malaprops of travel should kill their relatives before start ing. as this would keep many frightful tales from coming out.

It was a relative who exposed Grilxs mitigation at not seeing Prudential" inscribed on the Rock of Gibraltar. And 1t is to rela- tives that Pumpngton, the eminent man. ufacturer of Baldine, owes his recent humiliation. This is the story they tell about Pumpington:
 As the party drew up in front Of the famous Lagertek at Wlenerwurst, Pump ington refused to alight, preferring a nap in the automobile. The others rushed in, and soon returned with glowing ae- counts. It seemed that the Lagertek contained magnificent statues of Goethe and Schiller, and that Pumpington would disgrace the family if he failed to see them. Yawning and stretching, the mar tyr climbed down out of the car and entered the Lagertek. But when he con- fronted the statues drowsiness departed. He jumped, like one who sees a great light, "Great heavens!' he cried. "They're meni All my life I've understood that Gertie and Schilla were girls!'

Action, Not Talk, Is Wanted

The City Council should take steps to put an end to propositions that spell delay only in the matter of vladuct build ing on First avenue. It Is better to bring the matter of grade crossings to a judicial test at once than to go on dealing with unacceptable propositions from the railroads.
 True, the railroads could delay work by means of appeals In the courts, but even such appeals are more promising of good than propositions that involve long delays and that are unacceptable on general principles.
 Let the council act with decision and with positiveness. The delay in the con- structlon of viaduct on First avenue is a constant wrong and daily danger to 2O,- 900 citizens. Action is needed, and the current dilly-dally of propositions should be ended. The people expect from the council action rather than an endless negotiation with corporations that ask nothing better than years of delay.

sHINED SHOES BY TUNE

From the Youngstown Telegram. The porter of local barber shop loves
 to have the automatic piano play while he is polishing the shoes of a customer. Such is his artistic temperament that his very actions seem to fit the sentiment and tempo of the selections While the youth was majestically pass ing his brushes over pair of patent feathers the other evening to the martial
 strains of "The Pilgrim Chorus" from "Tannhauser," the customer displayed
 unmistakable signs of impatience. Here, here, boyl" he exclaimed. you'll

 'Is dat so, boss? Well, jes' excuse me

 The porter went to the pianola, stopped
 the music, changed the roll, and came
 back.
 A broad grin spread over the face of
 the travelling man as he watched the
 brushes fairly fly to the tune of Turkey in the Straw with ragtime variations in dcuble-quick time. "Thank'e, sah," exclaimed the porter.

THE DRAMA OF CALEB POWERS

From the Boston Herald.
 Kentucky sends to the Sixty-second Congress in the person of Caleb Powers, a man whom a judge of that state sol emnly sentenced to be hanged upon con- yiction for murder, and certainly noth- ing in our recent politics is more dramat- c than this mans career leading up to his appearance as national legislator. If ever man was in mortal peril that man is Caleb Powers, for his enemies were relentless and powerful He finally emerged from prison free and vindicated. but almost as one rising from the grave.
 When one reflects upon the hideous train of events, and the welter of ma lignant passions that led up to his con viction and condemnation it seems as if our civilization were hardly more Chris tian than that of Rome in the days Of her civil wars and bloody prescriptions. Happily our own civil war was followed by no such prescriptions as those of Sylla, but the awful experience of the ruthlessly pursued Caleb Powers. who goes to Washington almost from the shadow of the gallows, proves how faf we are from that state of universal good will which is the ardent dream of a few now optimistically urging their faith upon the American people.

Veto Power of the House of Lords

Parliament reassembles in London to be to be taken to the kingdom on the veto question. Some think dissolution will be announced before the end of the present week It will come soon at any rate and the elections will be held before Christ mas. In this way Great Britain speedily settles even the gravest constitutional questions.
 King Edwards rather sudden death pre- vented the passage of the veto resolu- tions even in the house of commons. They were postponed because neither side desired to precipitate a general election while the country was mourning the death of popular king.
 The first of these resolutions is directed against vetoeing of a money bill by the house of lords. The second of the reso- lutions provided that the powers of the house of lords respecting all other bills be restricted so that if any bill shall be passed by the commons at three success sive sessions and rejected by the lords at each of these sessions, it shall become a law without the assent of the lords or the King provided that at least two years shall have elapsed between the introduce ton of the measure and its third passage by the house of commos. The third reso- lution limited the duration of a parlia- ment to five instead of seven years.
 Some desire to have salaries provided for the members of the house of com mons, and some desire Irish home rule but these questions will not largely enter into the approaching general election. The country will vote for or against the veto resolutions, and nothing else. | Seldom, indeed, has England faced a deeper or more historic problem, and the elections in that country will attract wide attention. The democratic spirit is gain | ing ground everywhere, and it may be that the slow-moving Britons will accept tho veto resolutions that the Asnllith pov- ernment presents. Irish home rule would fellow almost as a matter of course.

does in the most realistic manner appeal in his books for more humanity, more altruism in this world.
 This remarkable man cannot be judged by the conventions of society. He lives his own life in his own way, and the pill grimage that he is now attempting is but part of remarkable life-a life in strong contrast with the government of the country in which the great author was born and has lived. That govern ment which he has freely denounced has not dared to offend the civilized world by touching a hair of his head. He has become a citizen of the world while living and writing in a backward country.

Nav Orleans YS. San Francisco

The strife between New Orleans and San Francisco goes on. Each city is pre- pairing to hold a great international fair to celebrate the opening of the Panama canal, and each has command of big sum of money.
 By the vote of the people of Louisiana last week that state is authorized to is sue bonds to the extent of S6,50o,Ooo in aid of the fair. This brings New Orleans available funds for that purpose up to s. 0Oo, 600.
 San Francisco is endeavoring to settle the issue in a flood of gold. That city had Secured subscriptions to the amount of s7,O0o,OoO. The state of California has voted s5,o0oo0O more, and yesterday the city voted on a proposition to issue s5,- O00,OO0 more in bonds. thus bringing the total up to s17,OOO,OOO, as compared with New Orleans modest $S,OoOOOo.
 But these offers of money are not all that enters into the contest by any means. The national celebration of the opening of the canal should be held where the man of modest means can go to it. In round proportions three fourths of the country could go to New Orleans while one-fourth could go to San Francisco. For this reason alone the fair should be held In New Orleans.
 The entire south should back up New Orleans effort at Washington next win ter Congress is to decide where the national fair is to be held, and to in- vite other nations to send exhibits to it.. The decision of Congress surely will be based on what the many want rather than what the few can take advantage of. In a national referendum New Or leans would be a winner by millions of votes.

Count LyOf Nikolaleyitcb Tolstoi

Sixty years ago Count Tolstoi began to write books and those books speedily won for their author a high place in the world of letters.N He was born in 1928, and surely man who was borl that long ago has a right to be some what eccentric and to go his own way. The entire civilized world is watching the wanderings of the aged novelist and philosopher, fearing that in the climate of Russia he will encounter hardships beyond his strength.
 He was accommodated from the Russo Greek church by the Holy Synod in 1901. He is an iconoclast, and his socialistic tendencies were made mani- fest in 1895 when he deeded all his prop erty to his wife in order that he might live the life of an ordinary peasant in the land. His books deal largely with social conditions, especially the Krentzer Sonata, and he finds little in present con- ditions to commend. He does not at- tempt to establish a new faith, but he

Aviation During the Census Jubilee

Aviator Ely, who recently flew in a Curtiss biplane from the deck of the cruiser Birmingham, lying in Hampton Roads. to a point five miles distant near Norfolk, is coming to this city during the Census Jubilee, bringing with him two <Curtiss biplanes. He will be accom- panied by Aviator Russell.
 The jubilee managers have certainly secured in these 'Curtiss flyers the great est popular attraction of the day. All people are interested in the effort to con- uuer the air. The Curtiss biplanes are a rival form of airship, and when the people have seen the Curtiss biplanes they will know wherein they differ from those made by the Wright brothers Both forms were devised by Americans, and both serve to keep the country abreast of France in flights through the air
 The Curtiss aviators will give at the Fair grounds full exhibitions on Novem- Der p and 2S of their machines and what they are capable of in speed, in altitude, in gliding and in fancy flying These flights will enable the people of this state to keep abreast of mans latest in- vasion of the element heretofore monop- olized by the birds so far as flights and transportation are concerned.
