CONTRADICTS HINES
Former senator Testifics that Taft
Did Not Urge LOrimer Election.

Dashington, July 2O.-The story OF
the Administration attitude toward
the election of Senator Lorimer as
told by former Senator Aldrich and
r. j. Shields. Of Superior. Wis. fea-
tured the Lorimer hearing today.
Instead of sending Edward Hines.
the Chicago lumber man to SPRING
field, with word from the Washing
ton Administration that Lorimer
should be elected, Mr.. Aldrich testi-
fed that he told Hines President
Taft was not supporting the candi-
date, but that Lorimer was not OBJ
jectionable to him. The former
Senator said he told Hines previously
that the President had no objection
to Albert j. Hopkins or Henry S.
Boutell for the Senatorship.
statement from the White House
last March in regard to the election
was read to the witness. The only
point concerning which he said he
knew nothing was the declaration
that a request had been made on the
President TO sign a telegram stating
his views on Lorimer's candidacy.
The White House statement given
out March % was as follows:
THAT facts with reference to the
Presidents relation to Senator Lori
mer's election is this:
That during the tariff fight gen.
tlemen came to him and expressed
their interests in the passage of the
tariff bill and said that it had been
suggested from Illinois that it would
he wise for the President to express
IN opinion in favor Of the election
of Lorimer. He did not know Mr.
Lorimer we'll, although ne knew
that he was an influential member
Of Congress, but he did know Hop
kins. He knew very little about H.
linois politics, but expressed q desire
that there should he two Republican
Senators from Illinois. but when
asked to put that in the form Of
telegram urging Lorimer's cleo

Yale Star to Study
the Western Style

NEW HAVEN, Conn, oct. 2l-
Springer Brooks, coach OF the Yale end
PUSHES, has gone west for two weeks to
study the western style of foot ball. He
has gone to the University OF Minnesota
where he is the guest of Harry l.. VIII
liams. the coach there. He will remain
two weeks studying the shift plays that
Williams gave Yale last year through
Tom Shevlin, who brought them east and
demonstrated them. The plays defeated
Princeton and tied Harvard in Yale's
final games.
Shevlin brought the first installment of
the latest Williams plays some time ago,
but was obliged TO return to Minnesota
after spending only one afternoon here.
Williams Is unable to come east; there
fore Brooks of the resident Yale foot ball
squad has gone west to learn the details
OF the plays. Yale had been beaten by
West Point and Brown when the western
shift formations arrived. Williams. who
is a Yale graduate or the class of 81,
was the inventor OF the famous tackle
back play which Yale adopted eight years
ESQ. He capfained the Yale track team
in his senior year, and for years held the
worlds record in the furlong hurdles
race.

Tennis Team Starts
Soon for Foreign
Shores for Match

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-A week from
next Wednesday the tennis team of the
United states In quest OF the Davis cup
will leave these shores for Chrlstchurch,
New Zealand Some days ago. when
William A. Larned, captain of the team
and champion OF this country for sew
eral years, announced that he would not
DO able to get away from business to
make the trip. there was a wall over
the tennis armament that was heard as
far as Great Britain and even in Aus
tralia patriotism was forgotten in the
general regret expressed over the re-
fusal of Larned to 60. Australians are
very anxious to see the great Larned in
action against Norman Brooks and his
decision has caused much dlsappoint-
ment.
Robert d. wrenn Of the international
committee states that there never has
been a letup in the pressure brought to
bear upon Larned after his recent
declaration.
I'VE are in constant communication
with William A. Larned and can say
that we have not entirely given up hope
as to his availability on the team. That
does not mean that he is going, you
understand, yet between now and No
vember 1 there is just a bare chance
that he might be able to so arrange
matters that he could 60 1t is a for
lorn hope. II is true, but a hope just
the same, because he himself is only too
anxious to CO." Those were the words
of the man who has the team in charge
when he was asked about the matter
this morning.
II Larned could be persuaded to make
the trip It would prove the greatest
pleasurable surprise 10 American tennis
players. With such a man as Wrenn
trying TO enlist Larned It would not sur
prise many to see the result brought
about
In this connection It is well to state
that without Larned on the team there
viii be but two men on the trip. On the
highest authority II can be said that
only four men have been asked to go to
Wright, Mclaughlin. Iarned
and Bundy. The last named was only a
few days ago forced to decline to take
Larneds place, and no one else is con-
sidered a worthy substitute.

Harvard Unearths
Giant in Strength,
but Slight Build

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 2l.-Harvard has
unearthed new strong man in Frederic
Dane Huntington OF Leicester, Mass.
Huntington has, in addition to being the
strongest man in college In this years
registration the distinction of being one
OF the lightest men that the Harvard
team has ever been trying out for the
position of center on the varsity team.
lIuntington's qualifications for the title
of strong man have been proved by the
Sargent system OF strength tests and his
total of 1,SO2.2 is 90 points ahead of that
made by f. II. Leslie, who was Har-
wards champion strong man last year.
The total points are reckoned on the
strength of legs. backs, forearms upper
chest and arms, strength of lungs and
weight.
Other powerful men on the eleven. such
as Captain Fisher, who was an All-Amer-
lean guard last year. did not come within
400 points of the record made by Hunting
ton.
Jack Johnson, the pugllst. when he ap-
peared at DIR. Sargent's and tried out the
same tests, did not come within 200 points
of the Crimson athletes total. With his
legs Huntington lifted the great weight

Golfers Change,
Don Evening Dress
and Play Bridge

NEW YORK, Oct. H.-Those who re-
call golf OF twenty years ago or even
a trifle less must regard the change In
the condition of the professional as one
Of the most remarkable developments in
the game. This possibly holds good even
more on this side OF tho Atlantic than
abroad. Apparently. Harold II. Hilton
received a shock during his brief visit to
this country from things ne heard and
saw. The spectacle of Alec Smith calling
prominent amateurs by their first names,
started Hilton's tongue a-wagging in I'M
disguised protest, and that he will be
writing on the subject shortly is prob
able The old-time professional, untidy
in appearance. always a better player
in the morning than after luncheon, and
inclined at times to be registering i'm the
evening, has TO great extent disap-
peared. The new style professional Is
quiet almost to the point of being
snubbed, is well dressed and suggests
neither from his playing nor his appear
ance that he and liquor are on speaking
terms. The old-time professional lived
from hand to mouth, the new is a bust
ness man.
Many attribute these changes to the
change In dress. Years ago IL was the
exception for a professional to appear in
knickerbockers. Now they all wear Them
with the possible exception of few. AL
most the very first professional to break
the old-time-honored custom was Harry
Vardon. the present British open cham<
pion, and not only did his fellow-p pro-
fessionals look askanoe, but the inhova-
ton was frowned upon by the amateur.
AS their style of dress has improved.
so have the conditions In which they
make their living, Besides the money
they make from their business, which is
still considerable sum, despite the fact
that the clubs are mostly turned out
by business houses, the prize money has
increased. 1t was not so many
years ago that $3.50 was the largest
amount in the British open champion
ship. Nowadays professionals are play
ing for larger sums In exhibition matches.
George Duncan. one of the leading Scot
fish players, who is now playing in this
country, demands a minimum OF 500 for
every match in which he is engaged, and
he has been playing on an average of
three week.
Golf professionals are regarded more
highly in a social way than any other
professionals. At the southern courses
they are often seen in the evening in
evening clothes at the hotels, and sew
eral of them are expert at bridge and

few exceptions they conduct themselves
