val Academy crew this morning set
precedent in the election of a captain,
when william G. Greennan, Of New
York. a second crew man. was named

occupy that position on the first crew

Sporting Gossip
Every Knock Is q Boost."
Eastern's victory.

Eastern's victory.
BY beating Western yesterday East
ern High School won e victory tina
compares favorably with any triumph
that was ever scored by a team from
the CAPITOL Hill school.
1 seriously doubt if there was one
person in ten who went to the r. r. Y
VI. c. A. field yesterday who really be.
Iieved Eastern had a chance, but sc
we'll did Eerela, Lyon & Co. perform
that Western never had a chance until
the ninth inning. IT the last round the
Ceorgetowners went to the front and
when the most severe test Of the day
came up Eastern proved equal to the
occasion by winning out.
Because of the presence Of the Ma
tionals here the high school series is
practically lost, but there should be
some interesting sport when Tech and
Western meet in the game which will
decide the title of 1911.

Sport VS.. Death.

Is that sport on the Indianapolis
speedway today?
While a true test of any automobile
has its real advantages, it is doubtful
II any good is to result from such
stunts as are being performed there
today. The winner will, of course be
greeted with the greatest acclaim, but
the ovation will be far offset by the
toll of death that must follow such
races. ....
A speeding automobile is beautiful
sight, but when so many are crowded
into one race there is little to be
gained by either owner or public.

Phillies shaken up.

Whenever a ball club starts Off well
and then falls back. there are shake-ups,
releases, and purchases, and the Phila-
delphia Nationals are no exception to
the rule.
1t has been repeatedly pointed out In
this column that the personnel of the
team that is representing Philadelphia
in the National League would hardly
warrant serious consideration of this
team as the probable pennant winners
in the senior circuit. Now that the ag-
gregation has started to slide back, the
owners have become excited, and one
player after another is being mentioned
in probable trades.
One of the surprises in connection
with the upheaval is the announcement
that "Toots" Schultz is to go to the
minors.
Not. since the days of Walter Clarkson
has there been a college twirler whose
services were more sought after than
Schultz. 1t was reported at the time
that Schultz was signed that he was re-
ceiving one of the largest salaries paid
a Philie, but he has failed to deliver,
and he is now on the tobbogan.

cabins and small shacks were built on
both banks of the river, but the people
went to farming and made money.
Among other evidences left on the trail
by the Canadian Pacific people was q
telegraph line. which stopped about eighty
miles from Edmonton. Settlers from On
tario, who were crazy for news. raised
the money to extend the line to their
town, and subsidized an operator to come
out here and keep them in communication
with the outside world. In the perform
ance Of that duty he used to receive a
bulletin Of short scraps of news from
Winnipeg once a week. and nailed it up
on the wall of his Office where everybody
could read it.
That suggested an idea to Frank Oliver,
and the next year, when he came out
with his cargo of merchandise. he
brought a toy printing press made in
Philadelphia. and two cases of nonpareil
type. He forgot to bring a head for a
paper. hut the telegraph operator carved
the words The Bulltin out of birch
bark He spent his spare time, which
hung heavy on his hands. putting into
type the scraps of news that came over
the wire, and printing a few copies for
distribution. and that is how the Bulletin
newspaper happened to be started.
