O'nARA TELL OF
TRIP TO IRELAND
attended GOLDEN WEDDING
ANNIVERSARY OF HIS
PARENTS.
Spent Six Weeks in the Old Country
and Enjoyed Every Minute Of His
Journey.

William O'Hara has returned from
his trip to his old home in Clonakilty
Cork county, Ireland, where he at
tended the golden wedding of his
parents There were in all Is chill
dren and grand children from Amer
lea. and one from England who were
present.
Mr.. O'Hara's father is one of the
three oldest residents in his home
town, his father having been born
there and living his entire life there.
Mr.. O'Hara, senior, is in the drapery
business, or what We would call the
dry goods business.
Mr.. O'Hara spent six weeks in Ire
land and although it is beautiful
country and it is home, he was glad
to get back to America: He says that
while things have improved hum
dred per cent since he left there the
first time, everything seems so small
when compared to the enterprises in
the United States. In Cork. city
of $4,000 people, there isn't store
that will compare with either of the
department stores in Bismarck. The
farmers are also in much better con-
dition than formerly. The old land
lords with their ideas of feudalism
are gone, and in their places is the
government 1t has bought all the
land and the farmer may now take a
farm and after paying rent on it for
40 fears becomes the owner of the
property. This has worked a Won
derful change in the Irish farmers.
L =
an independent progressive and scien-
tific farmer. This method also has
nearly stopped the enormous exodus
of the Irish to this country
Ireland has also had a very dry
year, and July was the hottest within
the memories of the Oldest residents.
During Mr.. O'Hara's stay of six weeks
there were only two rainy days.

Polo League May
 Not Start Al All
Players Refuse to Sign For Re- duced Salaries Offered by
 Managers

Indefinite suspension of the open Ing of the National Roller Polo league was forced yesterday at meeting of the. directors of the organization when it was discovered that there were so few players who had signed contracts that it would be absolutely impossi- ble to play. Although the state of affairs will come as a general sur prise to the polo fans along the Ma tlOna1 league circuit it was something looked for by the players, since the first plans for the season were figured upon Affairs of the National Roller Polo league, so. far as this season $ concerned. have arrived at a crisis. It was announced last night that not one of the Hartford players have signed contracts while it is under stood that Taylor is the only man on the New Haven team who has signed up. George Bone, the crack player of last season, has not signed up and says that under the present condi- tions he will not do so.
 The refusal of players all over the circuit to sign playing contracts has caused no little alarm and managers at the special meeting of the polo directors yesterday in Providence were somewhat worked up over ti,e state, of affairs The whole trouble,
  what are claimed to be the high handed methods of the directors and managers this year in preparing for the coming season. The following let ter, sent to each player in the league. is claimed to. be the cause of all the trouble and tie real reason for the refusal of the various players, to sign contracts:
 Dear Sir: The National Roller Polo league has hereby voted as follows:
 That the season of 1911-12 opens on October. 12 and that the salary limit of each team be $1,000 , Any manager violating the limit to forfeit his franchise.
 That the salary day for all teams sail be the first and 15th of each month.
 That no player will be eligible to play who has not signed his contract and that all contracts must be in the hands of your manager on or before September 30.
 That all players not returning their contracts by September 30 shall be ineligible to play and can only be re- instated upon written application, by said players, to the secretary of the league and by a unanimous vote of the league members

Old Boy Hopes te Come Back
 Among the Leaders of Estie Kingdom

Kid Mccoy will be. put to a real box ing. test on Friday night, when he will face Jim Savage for ten rounds-or Iess-at. Browns Gymnasium. New York Mccoy is endeavoring,; earn estly and painstakingly, to ecome back As guarantee of his good Intentions, to achieve the goal desir- ed he placed in slumberland two men he has boxed since lie, started to re- sume his fighting career-Tom Day and Kid Ellie. In jigfime McCoy sent Day and Ellie out of the rings with hlack smudges on, their fighting. reputations. He executed the comnlis- sions, as Dumb Dan Morgan, his man.. ager, said, 'in less than four minutes of hoxir1E.'' . Now. Jim Savage is, a pretty tough fighting proposition. He is clever and, has a wallop. It will be recalled that he trounced Frank Moran in great style atathe Olympic, A. c. last winter, and Moran had placed Al Pa4zer's S face, at the Clermont Rink in a con- dition where it was not thing of beauty to look upon. Also Moran, has. walloped many good boxers in, Eng land. All of which tends to prove. that Savage is, some fighter.
 If Mccoy can put. Savage away in; quick time, it may be said thar the, versatile Kid, even if he has not "ar- riyed", is lowering on the steps lead ing to the light heavyweight title.

Through a Ria Telescope.

The first look through a great tele, scope is disappointing, but the novice soons, sees that the flat appearanca which the. heavens present to the naked eye is replaced by curious con cavity; the moon and stars seem to k hung in space rather than spread out on a fiat surface. / For g moment one feels at the telescope like chiA watching the swift moving balls kePe in the air by juggler and expecting to see one of those great, bright bodies fall Then comes the thought. What keeps ttem there, apparently suspend ed in space with absolutely nothing te hold them firm? The explanation of the learned astronomer causes tbs brain of the layman. to. whirl, and hs sees himself, perhaps for the frss time, as. a child gathering pebbles on the great shores of the sea of knowE edge or as "an infant. in the night, an infant crying for the light. and with no language but cry."-Eational MAsar zine.

Yale BaekfieId
 Looks Strong In
 Saturdays Game
Reilly, Anderson and Philbin Ripped Through. Holy
 Cross Line

WWhat proved the most encoura ging feature of Saturdays game between Yale and Holy Cross to those who hope to see the Blue regain, it's su- spremacy on the gridiron this year, was the fact that not once during the
 whole contest did the Yale. team fail
 to. gain the required. ten yards when a tOueh-down was in sight. Those who observed the last seasons play
 will recall that time and time again, even In the practice games, the Blue team was held for downs within their
 opponents fifteen. yard line. This showed a lack of reserve strength which proved, disastrous in the Brown game, although, corrected sufficiently we'll. to bring the team through the big games with considerable honor.
 Reilly proved himself to be a steri- ing line-bucking half back, and An derson, the western collegian, showed that he has the making in him of a wonderfully fast man-perhaps almost the equal of the famous Steve PhiI- bin, of the 1909 steam. He appar- ently, needs lots of coaching, however, to use. his speed and ability to the of the same caliber as Reilly, Ander- son and Howe in the. back field, Yale would have nothing to worry about in this department. Philbin, brother of the famous Steve, played half back for a part of the game and showed up well
 Bon1eisler played lef. end for Yale and will undoubtedly be a fixture there. The several men that were tried at the, other end didn't show up very we'll but the Blue coaches are banking on GaEiauer being in shape before long to take care of that po- sition.
