FREE DELIVERY SERVICE.
FOOts Creek District Now Assured of
Mail Route.

That the Foots creek district will
have a rural free delivery service,
and that very shortly, was assured
by the receipt of papers relative to
the application from the postoffice
department by Postmaster John
Hammersly last week. Nothing but
the formal red tape of official pro-
'cedure intervenes between the time
when the fourscore residents of this
locality will receive a daily mail, eX-
cept Sundays, through the medium of
of the rural free delivery service.
That the application has been so hap
PLY granted is due almost solely to
the industry and perseverance OF
Postmaster Hammersly, who circu-
lated a petition among the prospect
i've patrons, securing 104 signers.
This was done in April, since which
time the department has been con-
sidering the rival claims of Gold Hill
and Rogue River, which latter city
also forwarded a petition to the de-
partment praying that they be ap-
pointed distributing center for the
proposed route. The advantageous
position of Gold Hill, however, car
ried the day, and by the first of next
month the service will be inaugu-
rated. 1t Is assumed that Postmas-
ter Hammersly will at the time ap-
point a temporary carrier, until the
necessary examinations have been
taken by the applicants and the reg
ular carrier granted his commission.

WOOL BILL PASSED.
Tariff Schedule Now Up to Taft for
Signature.

Washington, d. C.-The confer
ence report on the compromise La
FolletteUnderwood wool tariff bill
has been adopted by the senate, 80
to 2S. Six progressive republican
senators joined the democrats. The
compromise bill goes at once to Taft
for his signature, and it is Identical
with the one he vetoed in 1911.
The progressives who voted for the
wool tariff revision were Bristow,
Clapp, Crawford, Gronna, La Toilette
and Works. Senator Cummins of
Iowa was paired against the measure.
He said that if free to vote he would
oppose it, because he believed that
20 per cent .advalorem duty on
wool was much lower than could be
justified by study of the report Of
the tariff board.

RICHMOND. Va, October 19.-The fans
of Newport News cannot be said to be
lacking in grit. Indeed, they are just
the opposite, for they are already pre-
pairing for another base ball season. re-
CARELESS of the showing made by tina,
team in the Virginia League last season
They are trying, apparently. to profit by
mistakes of the past, SO if organization
grit and d determination to get a winner
will count for aught, Newport News will
be around the top at the close of the next
season if that city gets franchise for
next year.
Just before the season was over the fans
took over the franchise when the Ship
builders were making about the sOrriest
showing team ever made at the close of
a Virginia League race. Undaunted. since
that they have organized under the name
of the Peninsula Base Ball Association,
with these officers: President, Abe lIor-
WITT: vice president, J. Eisenman: ,secre-
tary, T.. S. Robinson, and treasurer, h.
Stuart Blanton. The directorate will be
made up of base ball lovers representing
Newport News. Phoebus and Hampton,
from which the association takes it's
name. The organization will now make
an effort to raise 5000 to have the cash
in hand in time to use 1t for the assem-
bling of a team and for the practice sea-
son. :

annual meeting of the league to order in
November NEWPORT News. along with
Portsmouth, will cease to be members in
the Virginia League, and If that town gets
a franchise next year it will have to be
voted in as another applicant, though
there seems to be nothing to prevent the
Shipbuilders from being on the map an
other year. This seems to be the pros
pect though no one can figure what will
happen in the Virginia League in the
space of thirty days.

defeated Indiana this afternoon by score
of ) to :. The HOLSTERS could not gain
consistently through the Orange and Blue
line. although they outwe.ighed their OPP
ponents ten pounds to the man.
The second quarter was the only period
in which Illinois was forced to give
ground. In this period Indiana put the
ball across the line by three successful
forward passes. Illinois gained almost
twice as much ground by the use of end
runs and off tackle smashes In the third
and fourth quarters the lllini smothered
their opponents and scored twice, both
times by excellent work. Capt. Woolston,
Dillon and Sennef gained most of the
ground for the Orange and Blue. Flem-

Indiana, but lacked the drive Of the
Illini. The game was marred by fire.

MANY PENALTIES
Cause Woodbury. Forest Not to
Make Larger Score on Cathedral.

The Cathedral School foot ball eleven
was no match for the fast Woodbury.
Forest School team of Orange. Va. yes
terday. the latter winning in a one-sided
game by the score Of 40 to o. That the
score was not much larger was due to
the fact that the visitors were frequently
penaliZed for VIC ating the rules, when q
few more yards would have resulted in a
touchdown.
Woodberry Forest slightly outweighed
the Cathedral, but without this handicap
the visitors had the best of the local
team. which did not appear to be ready
to put up it's best game. For one quarter
the first. Cathedral seemed to be about
evenly matched with the Virginians, but
In the final three-qLarters the former
could not cope with its opponents.
Cathedral put up weak defense as
line was penetrated for big gains. The
local school had several chances to score
but untimely fumb.es gave the ball to
WoOdberry Forest. The Virginia team
put up II cOrking good game and executed
several plays that SO completely took the
Cathedral payers by surprise that long
runs were made before the latter team
realized where the ball was.
Granger Dechert, R. Walker and G.
Walker played well for Woodbury. For
est, while White did well for Cathedral
The Cathedral team has the makings of
good eleven, and with a little more
hard practice should be able to put up
a much better game than it did yester-
day. The lineup and summary follow:
