O'Day Dreams.

One night Sir Hennery o'Day-or some time rudely
known Hank
Dreamed that he lay in happy DEATH his soul one with
the spectral rank;
And where st. Peter holds the key he stood beside the
Pearly Gate
And saw beyond where streets Of gold and countless
pennants lay in wait.
st. Peter came who knocks" he cried, "and seeks
admittance to craft?
What record stands against your name to show that
you worth the draft?
What medals dangle from your breast as one among
the brave and bold,
To show that you have earned the right to play upon
a harp OF gold?"
For twenty years." Sir Hank replied, II wore the
blue blouse of Ump
Where Griffith sneered and Evers roared and John Nc
Graw the jump
For twenty years, from fading youth to middle
stood the test
Until thought the time had come to seek respite
and rest"
And then?" st. Peter said. "And then," continued
Hank, II looked about
Before doffed the mask for good and edged of from
the daily rout;
For twenty years Ump, and now with reason shat
tered and in shreds,
On top of that for months I've been the Boss Of
Herrmanns Reds"
The great key creaked within the lock- the Gate of
Pearl swung deep and wide.

Britain Is Spurred to
Effort In 1916 Games

LONDON, Aug. 2--Lord Desborough
at meeting Of the Athletics Advisory
Club last night. said that IL Great Brit
ain wished to win In the Olympic games
at Berlin. 1t must seriously organize its
men as does the United States, and must
contribute plenty of money.
Lord Desbor0ugh declared that the
English athletes had not done badly in
track events at Stockholm, but even in
the palmiest days of English running
he did not think, he said, they could
beat marvel like Kohlemainen, the
Finn. ~ :, -
He did SO we'll, Lord Desborough said,
he would not be surprised to see him
running for the United States at Berlin
II Britain Is to compete seriously, he
said. trainers must be engaged and
money Is urgently needed.
The Rev. s. De Courcey Laffan said
that a Swedish trainer who received
5000 year had told him that IL he had
had charge of the British athletes for
three months America would not have
stood a chance.
Mr.. ]. G. Merrick. OF Canada, urged
the formation of British empire team,
saying that II Britons took the same in
terest In field sports as In rowing,
England would produce as good track
men as the United States.
The meeting was, apparently. inspired
by a prejudice against American ath-
letes. and after listening to a letter from
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who appealed
for $125.000 In order that Great Britain
might be properly represented in Berlin
in 1916. some one offered to contribute
$500

The selection Of Edward M. Bennis

OF the Blue and Gray. The assistant

MARKET
FOR OUR MOTORS
IS GROWING FAST
Canada and Great Britain
Z Americas Best Customers,
Say Experts.
BY HARRY WARD.

The fact that American automobile
manufacturers are making great
strides In their invasion of the foreign
markets Is brought out forcibly In a
monograph entitled Foreign Markets
for Motor Vehicles" Just issued by the
Bureau Of Manufacturers of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor.
The publication is compilation of re-
ports from American consuls stationed
In every part of the globe and is ar
ranged with the particular end in view
Of aiding American manufacturers to
extend their foreign sales.
Canada. it is shown, Is the United
States best market, the majority Of
northern neighbor being either made
entirely In the United States, assem-
bled in Canada from parts imported
from the United States. or made by
American firms. The exports Of auto
mobiles from this country to Canada
have risen from 1920 In 1909 to 4.6S7 in
1911.
The high road-clearance. fexibility.
and moderate price Of the American
car are steadily winning II favor in
regions where highway conditions are
Ths 5S thGse n N shs United states
Zealand is already being well cultivat-
ed by American exporters, whilee Ar
gentina, Brazil, and Uruguay in South
America, and British South Africa are
named as promising fields for future
sales. II Is estimated also that there
are more American than European
cars in use in Mexico.
In the Far East. Ceylon, india. Japan,
Siam, and the Straits Settlements, are
the most likely markets. China has
little use for automobiles, as most Of
the roads of that country do not per-
NIT their use. The reputation of Am
erican-made cars in India suffered some
years ago because some inferior cars
were sent among the earlier shipments
to that country, but the cars brought
from the United States recently have
been of such high grade as to dispel
this prejudice. In the Straits Settlements
the principal buyers are wealthy Chi
nese who demand comfort and luxury
In their cars rather than high power
AS a result, low-hung, smooth running
cars are the most popular, and the local
trade often demands that each car be
fitted in accordance with the Individual
taVte Of the owner. Right-hand drive
is essential here, as in the Orient, all
traffic turns to the left instead of to
the right, as in the United States.

National Regatta Entry
List Grows Rapidly

NEW YORK. Aug. 2.-secretary Fred
A. Fortmeyer, of the National Associa-
lion OF Amateur Oarsmen reports that
the entries for the annual regatta which
decides the American championships are
coming in remarkably well and that
the rowing carnival at Peoria. H., next
week probably will be the best that the
American public has ever seen.
Fred Putnam, chairman of the Peoria
Regatta Association, has been on most
successful proselyting expedition, which
took in practically every big rowing
club east of Peoria that is a member
% the national association. The Peor-
an won over scores of clubs to the
Western, course and the result Is that
more rowing men have decided to enter.
The city of Peoria silver trophies for
the free-for-all eight-oared sheh and
four-oared shell races open to the world
have attracted much attention to these
events will undoubtedly be hotly con-
tested.

FORMER SENATOR
HOME FROM RUSSIA
N, B. Scott Settles Up Estate of
Enoch Emery in
Moscow.

Russians do not view in a kindly light
the abrogation OF the passport treaty
of 1882, according to former Senator
Nathan B. Scott, president of the Con-
tinental Trust Company, who with Mrs.
Scott, has returned from Russia where
he went to settle the estate of Enoch
Emery, an American millionaire, who
died recently.
Russians take the view, says Mr..
Scott, that the United States is trying
to affect a matter exclusively the busl-
ness of Russia.
Consul General Snodgrass, of Moscow,
was appointed by the Russian Govern
uent to look after the Emery estate.
He was instrumental In having the Con-
tinental Trust Company made trustee.
Mr.. Scott spoke highly OF the Rus
sian courts. saying they were very fair
to Americans and expedited business.
Unable to speak Russian or other
languages generally understood in Rus
sia, the former Senator had a highly
interesting time in getting about while
in st. Petersburg and Moscow. 1t was
a relief to reach England where his
speech was understood. Severe weather
was encountered, Mrs. Scott going Ia
church one April Sunday in sleigh.
