CYCLIST RISKS LIFE

New York--Iim Zanora, one or the
best known trick bicycle riders in Che
United States, risks his life at every
public appearance and knows how nee
essary II is for him to have a steady
nerve and unfailing strength.
The slightest weakness might cost
him his life or injure him severely, and
this letter from him is Of great interest
ON that account. He says:
81 do trick bicycle riding as pro
fessional and work hard, and so | was
always tired and weak ! got 50 had
no strength and felt all run down, but
since using three bottles of Vinol feel
fine again / have recommended Vinol
to others and they too are using il with
good results"
Your strength is just as valuable 70
You, and we want TO say to you that
there is nothing so good as Vinol, our
delicious cod liver and iron remedy with
out oil for making weak and vermont
people robust. rugged and well. It is
good for children and old people too, and

1t Will be Presented After the
Holidays
AN IMPORTANT DOCUMENT
Sets Forth Conditions--Much Interest in
the Political Effect--Committee
May Recommend Department
Changes.

Washington, Dec. 22.--The long-await.
ed Wiley report will be presented to the
House Immediately after the Christmas
recess. This fact became known here
to-day, when Representative Ralph Moss,
the chairman of the committee which
has been investigating matters in the
department of agriculture, told caller
that this important document was prae-
tieally completed. IL is understood gem
orally in Washington that the repor,
will be temperate setting forth OF con-
ditions as the committee found them, and
that the committee, after Analysing the
situation relative TO the administration
OF the pure food laws, will make specific
recommendations which it will urge upon
the administration. 1t is common knowl-
edge that President Taft's "exoneration"
of Dr. Wiley and the removal of Me
Cabe from the food and drugs board by
no means solved the difficulties under
which DIR. Wiley labored. The doctor is
not complaining, but he and his assist
ants are still under the supervisory eye
Of McCabe, indirect though that superyi-
sion may be. If the Moss report does
not DO something 10 felleNe the present
pressure, there is bound to be an eXplo.
sion sooner or later.
What effect the Moss report win have
upon Mr.. Taft and his political fate is
matter for interesting speculation. The
Democrats of course are not blind to this
phase of the question, but they are so
deeply impressed with the public service
which they have been able to render
through the airing of the Wiley Wilson
MeCabe embroglio that they are not eS.
pected to 90 out of their way to make
individuals uncomfortable. The report
will probably be plain, uneolored state
ment of the facts, of the findings OF the
committee, and Of the necessary changes
in the organization Of the department,
which alone can prevent the continuance
Of present conditions.

PREMIER WILL NOT ACCEPT
ANY REPUBLICAN PLAN
Yuan Shi Kai of China Says He Is Abb
solutely Opposed to the
Idea

Picking, Dec. %. Premier Yuan Shi
Kai answered those who are trying to
transform China into republic, by
declaring without qualification, that he
refused to accept republic.
A new situation has arisen. Great
Britain, which has been supporting the
premier's monarchical program for sew
eral weeks, is now strengthened by Jap
an and is endeayoring to obtain the
support of the United States and other
countries
Great Britain believes that a serious
disinteeration of China would result
from the establishment of repub-
lie, whereas the republicans have already
obtained everything they desired, only
the name of monarchy remaining.
1t is stated that the American group
already supports the British idea and
is ready, with others Of the -Four Ma
tons" group of financiers, to lend Yuan
Shi Kai's government money.
Unless the revolutionists accept Pre-
mier Yuan's offer, the only alternative
i continuation of the conflict, with
a possible division of the country.

INGRAM CAN NOW
 REST HIS FIRST STRING
Lead of the Giants Gives Pitchers Nice
 Chance to Gather Ginger

"Marquard has fought in more games" says McGraw, than any oth- CT pitcher in either league through the same length of time. In addition to this he has faced more tough battles. There have been only few games where he could loaf at any stage. From October on I expect to work him only here and there to have him right for the big show
 The one big feature of the Giants spurt which has carried the team so far out in front is that McGraw will have his chance to rest up Mathewson and Marquard for the Athletic at tack.
 The Giant leader at one time feared that he would be forced to use his stars so often in winning the flag that by closing time neither would be at his best to step in against one of the hardest hitting lineups that ever slash ed as speed and curves.
 But the odds now are that by Octo- Der McGraw will be able to shoot his second string against opposing clubs and only work his two best bets often enough to keep them in shape.

TEN GAMES ON ACADEMY SCHEDULE
Windham High Comes to Open Football Season-Strong
 Line and Veteran Rackfeld in N. F. A. Eleven.

The Academy football schedule for the season has practically been com pleted by Manager Theodore Haviland with 10 games on the list and one or two more dates which may yet be fill ed. Seven of those arranged for are home dates beginning next Saturday, when Windham High schools eleven is here for the opening game. All but two of the games arranged for so far are on Saturday the exceptions being on Wednesday.
 As in former years, there are two games with Windham High, with Westerly High and with Bulkelev High. Hartford High comes here for a game on Oct 21st, the fifth contest on the schedule, so that the home team should be in pretty good form by that time and able to make good showing against the strong combination that Hartford High usually sends out.
 The following is the list of dates:
 Sept. 30-Windham High at Nor wich.
 Oct. 7-Heavyweights of Norwich at Norwich
 Oct. 11-Westerly High at Norwich
 Oct. 14-Academy at Wilhmantic vs. Windham High.
 Oct. 21-Hartford High at Norwich.
 Oct. 2s-Jewett City at Norwich.
 Nov. 4-Academy vs. Bulkeley at New LOn0On.
 Nov. 8-Academy vs Westerly High at Westerly.
 Nov. 1s-Bulkeley at Norwich
 Thanksgiving day-Yale Consolidat- e(; at Norwich.
 Practice for the team under the di- rection of Coach Leonard and Captain Gebrath has been proceeding steadily ali the past week, and the eleven has been rounding into the intricacies of the game in good form. All the prac- tice has been on the upper end of the Academy campus, but the games will be played on grounds at the Norwich state hospital at Brewster's Neck, where a gridiron has been chalked out. Probably today Manager Haviland and Assistant Mana ger Burke will see to the erection of the goal posts. The Hos pital gridiron is a fine level piece of grassed land which will make a very satisfa ctory playing field. Prob ably the eleven will go down there some day this week to do a little prac tlcing, as their present training ground is not a full sized field ~nd they want to get acquainted with the full limits in which they have to play.
 The probable first choice of the team as indicated by the way the men have been playing in practice will put Coughlin at fullback. Swan at left half, Mccormick at right half, and Tevlin at quarter. This bacI1field com as played in games last season. The right side oMf the line consists of Cap tain Gebrath at end, Byles at tackle, Merbert at guard. Kinney holds the cen position, and to his left stand Bliss at guard, Elliott at tockle, and Jackson at end.
 The line has good weight and some experienced men, the beclSfeld is al most a veteran combination, so that the prospects, for the eleven look as

MERkLE NOW A STAR Player Who Lost the Giants a Pen nant Makes Up for Error.

Fred Merkle's superb ball playing at this critical stage of the struggle for the National league championship ts one of the props which has been keeping the Giants on top. Merkle's light for recognition has been long drawn out, but the plucky first base man has persevered until he now looms up as a great batsman, a re- markable fielder. a fleet base runner and tireless worker. It is doubtful if any other ball player could have ac- complshed as much under the trying circumstances which attended Merkls's early baseball career as a New York player.
 When he failed to touch second base fin that memorable and fatal game with the Chicago Cubs in 1908 Merkle became laughing stock and the butt of unjust criticism everywhere. He was held up to ridicu1e for mistake that many other players had made though not in games of such great inn portance. The big fellow took it all in good nature until it became tiresome. Then he whipped a few of his traduc- CTS out in his native town and there after during the winter months he was allowed to live in peace. But all this time Merkle enjoyed the confidence of John McGraw, who told him to pay no heed to jests and jibes, but to go ahead and do his best on the ball field.
 You can make the baseball public forget all about that touching second base business by playing the game the best you know how" said the Gi- ants manager "Fll stick to you through thick and thin. Nobody can get your job. So show em that you're not a bonehead after all!"
 Thus encouras sed, Merkle buckled down to work in earnest, with the re- suit that soon he began to command respect. Fans who once laughed at him were quick to see that Merkle Rad the right stuff, and when he show ed vast improvement in batting and fielding they generously applauded him. Today the episode of 1908 is ov- erlooked. Vi erkle is a star ball play CT, and if the Giants win~th pennant much of their success can be attribut- ed to the lard working first baseman, who never lost heart when under the hottest fire. Many ball players, young and inexperienced a s Merkle was three years ago, would have wilted under such widespread criticism and would have dropped into obscurity. There s nothing more discouraging to all play CTS than ridicule, -arSsi countless young bloods have fallen by the wayside when receiving trials in major league colnpany because they have been too sensitive. But Merkle is an exception, and baseball fans who are roofing for the success of the Giants are singing his praise. He has vindicated him. self completely.

 The Harvard freshmen came out for the first time today. an unusually heavy array of 5I men showing up. There were many former scholastic stars among the candidates, and the mate rial is the most promising for a strong freshman team in years.

The fact that neither will have to pitch under heavy pressure at the fn- isil should give both the soft spot for rest which they will likely need.
 The Rube especially could use ten days of easy effort to considerable ad- vantage. His arm, while no longer sore or stiff, is still a little weary from the big strain of three months hard pitching.
