ROOSEVELT is
AFTER GAMES
Would Play Marions or the
Franklin F. C..

The fast Roosevelt A. c. Is trying
to book good games with local teams.
They want to arrange matches with
the Marions and the Franklins. They
met the Danes some time age and
lost by the o of 4 to 3, but they
think they can do better and would
like~to try against the Marions who
have played the Danish lads.
They would like to play the match
on their own grounds and they say
they can draw a big crowd If the con-
test is arranged. 1t is not yet known
whether the M~arions have any open
dates on which these two mines could
get together but should they play a
fast game is assured. Both teams
are working to make h match, it is
reported, and If they should succeed
many fans from the Roosevelt section
would be pleased, for they have
heard much about the strength Of
the local nine and want to try them
out.
They are also trying to fix a game
with the Franklins and they say they
would give them a run for their
money. The Roosevelts met the st.
Anthonys several weeks 6 and
bested them In a good contest by
the score of 7 to 4. Judging from
this they think they can beat the
Franklins and want a chance to try
it. If the Franklins a arrange a
game 1t is likely that the two mines
will get together. The Roosevelt
lads r sure of victory and say they
are a pretty fast bunch.
They will try to arrange a game
with the crack South River bunch
later in the season. This would be
another classy exhibition, for both
teams are among the best in the

Jeanette started off like a win

away with swinging left jabs and Ku-

second round was all Jeannette's.
Kubiak was the first to lead, but
Jeanette quickly rounded out the
session in his favor.
The third round was short. In
less than a minute Kubiak was on
the floor helpless, after being
knocked down three times. Kubiak
started by rushing Jeanette, who
met him with a hard inside right to
the jaw. Kubiak rolled over to the
mat, but managed to regain his feet
before nine was counted. He was
scarcely up when Jeanette sen him
to the floor again. Kubiak was very
weak and when he arose he was an
easy victim for Jeannette's right

The Danish SOciable A c. will

and one Of the best games Of the sea
son is expected. The local lads have
long been waiting to get at them and
have at last found that chance which
they were awaiting. Neither side Is
claiming the victory and it is likely
that a great fight will be put up by
both sides before any conclusion can
be reached.
The facts of the case are that each
wants to get at the other and they
cannot get there too quick. The
Danes will have one Of the strongest
mines they ever had and expect to
do wonders with them. They will
have but little, II any, change in
their lineup and Will have it in good
winning shape by Saturday.
The T~ottenville lads also have
great expectations and will try to
win the game in the first inning. They
have Romer, the crack pitcher Of the
New York cops, and he nay twirl for
the Islanders although that is not
yet certain. Last week he played at
first and he put one Of the fastest
games ever witnessed on the Totem

That means that should he go in

have to have their batting eyes open

VIRGINIA SCHOOLS
Washington Educator Lauds
Rural System.

Rural schools that would be a credit
to any district in the country" were the
words used by DR.. William NJ Davidson.
superintendent of Washington public
schools, in speaking OF the public school
system Of Alexandria County, Va, last
night.
DR.. Davidson was the guest yesterday
of ]. d. Eggleston, State superintendent
of public instruction Of Virginia, on an
inspection tour OF the schools in Alex
andria County, accompanied by County
Supt. Hodges, and Messrs. Zachery and
Brockett, of Alexandria. Starting at 10
a. m. in an automobile. the party visited
sixteen schools.
Fifty per cent Of the teachers in
Alexandria County are graduates of the
Washington Normal School," said DR..
Davidson last night. They are all doing
splendid work along educational lines and
none Of them have proven failures. All
the school buildings are modern and none
better can be found.

PRESIDENT TAFT
WORKS ON MESSAGE
His Cold Is Better and He
Has a Busy Day.

For the first time in nearly a week
President Taft was at his desk yester-
day, and plunged into the work of pre-
pairing his annual message to Congress.
Several callers were received during the
day, most of whom came to inquire as
to the state OF his health. A few talked
over legislative matters.
Secretary Hilles, who has also been on
the sick list, was at the White House
Offices yesterday.
Senator Sutherland, of Utah, was in
conference with the President for nearly
an hour. Gen. Felix Agnus, of Balti-
more, called to tell of the Republican
victory in Maryland at the last election
and to pledge his support in the coming
campaign.
The President is making every effort to
hold the coming message down to at
least 10000 words, but is having difficulty
in doing II. The long session OF Con-
gress has many important matters of
legislation to come before it, and the
President is trying to condense his views
as much as possible.
1t was learned at the White House
yesterday that the President is prepar-
ing to entertain the Western governors
when they come to Washington. Many
OF the State executives were hosts to
the President on his recent trip. 1t Is
the Presidents purpose to entertain them
at a dinner and a reception.

Good Roads and Low Prices.

Secretary Wilson believes that he has
found a solution of the high cost of liv-
ing. He thinks that if the farmers had
better roads, so that they could get
their produce to market more cheaply,
there would be closer relations between
the producer and the consumer.
Speaking to the members of the
American Good Roads Congress, now
assembled in Richmond, Va, Mr.. Viii
son asserted that when il is impossible
for farmers to haul products long dis
tauces over poor roads, they are COM
PEELED to raise crops that are not per-
ishable. This, he pointed out, works
double loss, inasmuch as the farmer
cannot deliver milk, fruit, and vegeta-
hles TO people in neighboring towns, and
the latter are forced to pay higher
prices than would otherwise be the
case Emphasizing these facts as the
basis for an enlarged interest in the
good roads movement, Mr.. Wilson ar
gued that if was matter of self-inter-
est for the farmers to become strong
advocates of road improvement.
In localities where the highways have
been made passable at all seasons of
the year and under all conditions, ex-
perience has demonstrated the truth of
Secretary Wilson's point of view. In
many instances the cost of delivery has
been materially decreased, while much
has been gained in the saving Of time in
getting produce TO market and in the
wear and tear upon horses and vehicles.
In order to reach point, however,
where good roads will be so universal

self that exists for no other like organi-
cation in a large community, George w.
Coleman, OF Boston, president OF the As
ISOLATED Ad Clubs OF America, yesterday
addressed advertising men at a luncheon
in his honor at the Commercial Club. The
luncheon, at which fifty representative
business men were present, was feature
of the winter programme of the Wash
ington organization.
Mr.. Coleman enumerated four lines Of
endeavor that should be followed by an
advertising club. First, ne said, the club
should work to develop its members into
philosophical and better citizens. Sec
Ondly, the club should work for the de-
velopment Of the community as a whole.
The third line I want to draw said
Mr. Coleman, 'Eis something for which all
clubs are working, but no club in any Of
the large cities has the opening given to
Washington in that respect. You should
have your public service corporations use
advertising as a medium through which
they may explain their position to the
public when under fire. Advertising
should be used to shape public opinion
to the best interests of the city"
Malcolm Moore, president OF the Balti-
more AID Club. and President Philip, OF
the Dallas CTex) AID Club, spoke briefly.
Granville NJ. Hunt. president of the
Washington Ad Club, presided. After the
luncheon the visitors and several men,

guests of the Baltimore club at a ban
quet in the Hotel Belvidere last night.

Regulating Traffic.

Maj. Sylvester's address before the
Good Roads Congress in Richmond
contains many excellent suggestions. He
has definite ideas upon the question,
and it is reasonable to hope, therefore,
that before long Washington will be
given a series of regulations which will
go far toward improving conditions
upon the city streets.
Washington's thoroughfares are be-
coming so congested in the busy hours
of the day that it is necessary to for
mulate rules which will guide vehicular
traffic and also insure a larger degree
of safety to pedestrians. If the first
step is a campaign of education, as Maj
Sylvester suggests, it cannot commence
too soon. Drivers of both motor and
horse-drawn vehicles are apparently un-
restricted, and this is naturally the case
when there is no definite plan outlined
for their guidance in travelling along
crowded streets.
The Chamber of Commerce and the
Board of Trade long ago gave consid-
Grafton to this subject, and it is to be
hoped that before long the traffic regu-
lations will be issued and rigidly en-
forced

DUTCH HUSSARS
WIN JUMP CONTEST
American Army Officers Fail
in Clearing the Bars.

New York, Nov. 22.-Three armies, ex-
elusive of the Royal Canadian Dragons,
competed in the international jumping
contest at the horse show in Madison
Square Garden to-day, and the victor s
share went to the Royal Dutch Hussars
on account of their performance with
Black Paddy, a magnificent mount, bred
in Ireland
The event was one of the most inter-
esting Of the meet, and the Garden was
crowded as 1t had not been before in
years. All the jumps were stif. The
British army entry, as distinguished from
the Canadians, was disqualified on &C
count of the nonappearance of Col. p. A.
Kenna, V. c. d. S. o., one of the three
soldiers who were to have ridden for
King George.

Graham, of the Fifteenth Cavalry, rode
