Jersey. The constitution of that
state, framed in lt76. allowed all
Inhabitants Of certain qualifications

that continued to b. the law in

privilege had its origin in the

The demand was not conceded by

INTELLIGENT BOOSTING
-. IS BENEFICIAL

1t has been declared in all
seriousness by an agricultural
journal that the great gains made
by the younger states snice 1900
are due, not so much to their
superior resources, as to their
temper Of optimism and enter
prise. whereas the spirit of pessi-
mism in some eastern states offsets
their own natural advantages. The
easr Is accused Of declaring con-
stantly that there no longer ;exist
opportunities to succeed in it's old
communities. farmers especially
declarying their calling as poorly
paid.
The western booster talks his
community up. and helps thus to
push 1t forward. He dwells on
the bright side of things and the
positive, constructive affirmations.
1t would be money in the eastern
pessimists pocket to emulate the
mood and method of the western
optimist. He almost never knocks,
and he always boosts. '".

attitude and procedure pophla-

PASSES PROVE FATAL TO
 BRIDGEPORT TEAM AGAIN
Chief Snyder Ties Game in Ninth and Loses
 it in Same Inning

Springfield. May 27- Although Bridgeport played good ball yesterday things broke bad for them and they lost to Springfield by to B. thereby dropping to fourth place. Chief Shy der pitched we'll but his team didn't do much hitting behind him.
 The Springfield Republican says of the contest:
 Every inning of the clash between Springfield and Bridgeport at Hampden park yesterday was rich with bright accomplishments, but the last one was the best of all. In this round, the in- ~ited party crept up to even terms, due to stinging double by Pitcher Snyder, who smote the ball with two men on bases, two out, two strikes on him and two runs needed to tie. Two was the magic number. Before the clubbing of Snyder Springfield looked a winner and after the sound of his bat had died away Springfield looked and was a winner. With two out. two men on bases and two strikes on him Genest plugged a swift grasser through the left side of the infield, sending in the run that made Spring field the winner to 3.
 The game was one of the spiciest Of the season. and in view of the close ness of the going slips were costly. Springfield got two runs on an error, and Bridgeport got one and part or another through miscues. There was pitching and the heroes of the gunninS were Greenwell and Snyder. Our left handler wheeled the ball in masterly fashion Greenwich was very steady, and when Bridgeport managed to get on bases he frightened like drum and let no hits leak from his work. And he had some nervous situations to cope with too. Snyder was good. too. and with pitchers working to the 1im- it the game sped on at a merry clip.
 Genest helped his team on a whole lot He was the star of the day. He saved Greenwell in the sixth when he came running in for Kauff's low fly and reeled off a pretty catch and kept runners tied to second and third. Page also did a wonderful act in the fifth when he leaped for Eley's liner and gobb1ed it for the third out with men on the two most advanced stations.
 Springfield got two runs in the third inning Waters walked and Greenwell sacrificed Genest banged past third, putting Waters on third and moving to second on the throw in.

Especial from United PresS.)

Cambridge, May 27-The colors. of | more than a score of the biggest col leges in the East, with Michigan thrown in for a touch of the West ern. waved over Soldiers Field this afternoon when there was determined the championship of the Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic Association of Amer ica.
 The day dawned clear and bright with enough chill in the air to put the athletes in the best of trim and rare sport was early assured. Their appetities whetted by the excellent performances in the trials yesterday, thousands of sport enthusiasts early flocked to the field and when the first event was called the mammoth sta dium was a scene of great animation. Everywhere there was spirited specu- lation as to the probable winner of the elimination races which had only served to heighten doubt. To casual observers. the fight seemed to rest between University of Pennsylvania and Cornell with Yale and Michigan dangerous contenders, and the work of the sons of these institutions was closely watched.
 It was early noted that the Penn sylvanians, last year winners. had qualified men for every event save the pole vault and the shot put, and the veteran trainer, Mike Murphy. looked upon the prospects of victory as very bright for the red and blue. The Ithacans failed to qualify as many men as Pennsylvania and Yale but the hope of the Cornell supporters was in nowise dampened by this fact. Through his impressive performances in the trials, Craig, the Michigan sprinter, was the exposure of all eyes. The events destined to occasion great est interest. however, were the half and one mile run.
