CAMPS STRAIGHT ARM
 METHOD VERY EFFECTIVE.
M V ENeninr S,1n.N

CN. T. Evening Sum-
 It is sincerely to be hoped that the illness of Walter Camp, Jr., will not prove so serious as to keep him off the Yale eleven in the fall. If in con- dition he should prove, as he did to- ward the close of last season, one of the most valuable men on the team, both as runner and kicker The young CT Camps path to football fame has not been an easy one, yet his develop nent was steady until shortly before the Princeton game last year. when he came along by leaps and bounds Camp played three great games against Brown, Princeton and Harvard, yet I think there is great deal more foot ball left in him.
 The most remarkable feature of Camps play, to my mind, was his use of the stiff arm in running, which is peculiarly his own. It is true that he has had some special coaching at the hands of his father, but it is greatly to his own credit that he has been able to develop a style of running about as difficult to face as any to be found on the football field.
 Generally speaking, the stiff arm is not used so much by the bigger backs Wendell of Harvard relies upon his terrific shoulder drive to throw off the tackler, and Ted Coy used to run with high knee action that was as effec- tive as the stiff arm. Corbett of liar ward and Browne of the Army were backs who relied on what is known as Ringing the feet.''
 Young Camp is as long strider as the two last named, but he has com bined the stiff arm with the long stride in way that has startled the old timers. As rule the man who uses the stiff arm makes pivot of the tackler and makes his sharp turn away from the arm used With the arm to the right the switch is to the left and vice versa. This is very effective, and has been in use on all big teams for many years. Harold Weekes of Co., lunbia being past master of the sin1- pie form of stiff arm in his day.
 The tall Yale back, however, has gone further in the development of this means of defence against the tack Ter, and he sprang a few surprise parties in the big games last year. Had he ben able to find dry footing think that upon more than one occasion he would have been able to shoot clear of the secondary defence He almost accomplished the feat as it was, both against Princeton and Harvard.

WHITE SOX WOULDN'T CARE IF
 CUBS LOST FLAG
CaIIahan's Players Want to Get Money For Series With Chance's
 Men
Buffalo Enquirer)

Everybody in and from Chicago is not pulling for the Cubs to put a crimp in the Giants and win the Ma tfcna1 league pennant. It would not break the hearts of the crew that follows the lead of Jimmy Callahan if the New York aggregation should carry off the flag in the older league.
 This is not jealousy or anything like that. It is plain business If the Cubs play the worlds series, the Chi eago city series between the Cubs and Red Sox is off, and every white-leg- ged warrior stands by to lose very close to one thousand dollars.
 The teams battling for the cham pionship of the world are forgotten in the Windy City when Chicago meets Chicago. Nowhere is the partisanship so bitter as in the metropolis of the lakes. It is house divided against itself, and both sides pour money in- to the box offices to see their favor ites.. The players end is well worth while
 Tn 1911 the fight between the Giants and the Athletics received scant at- tention in Chicago. The newspapers gave 1t little space; it was scarcely spoken Of The Sox and the Cubs were at 1t.

MARTIN SHERIDAN
 NOW RECOVERING
GREAT ATHLETE UNDERGOES OPERATION AS RESULT OF
 POISON SYMPTOMS.

Martin J. Sheridan of the Irish American A. G.. and one of the great est all around athletes in the world, who had an operation performed on his right ear on Monday afternoon at his home in New York, is rapidly con- valescing. Sheridan had an abscess and pr. Louis T. Mooney, who per formed the operation, said last night that Martin would be able to parade with the rest of the Olympic ath- letes in the big celebration on Satur- day.
 At first it was reported that the London Olympic hero had contracted blood poison and was dangerously Ill. This caused his many friends anxiety and all day yesterday they kept the telephones at his residence and at Po- lice Headquarters ringing continuously inquiring about his condition. Even Commissioner Waldo was anxious over the great athletes condition and call- ed his house on the phone several times.
 Sheridan greeted the officers and many members of the 1rish- American A. c. with a smile when they visited him last night Martin told them he was sorry that he would not be able to compete against Jim Thorpe in the all-around championships at Celtic Park on Labor Day; but said he proo- ably would appear in the discus event, but feared he could not get In good enough condition to meet an all-arounu champion like the Carlisle Indian.

LEACH CROSS WINS
 FROM TOM O'KEEFE

Foxy Leachie Cross took Tommy OKeefe of Philadelphia into camp, last night, in spirited ten round bout at the St. Nicholas A. C., New York. There were few vacant seats when the men came on for the main bout and the crowd yelled with glee when in the opening round Cross was getting the worst of the argument The men weighed in at 136 pounds each and O'Keefe with a lightning left kept Cross guessing for three rounds. Then the dentist solved the Quaker's attack and forced the fight with such vigor that he had the better of every round from that time until the end with the exception of the sixth and ninth, when O'Keefe's clever sparring stood the dentist off, O'Keefe showed pluck all the way through but was weakened to- ward the end by Leachie's body blows.
 OKeefe landed a stiff left in the first round and Cross drew jeers and misses by slipping to his knees and trying to draw a foul blow. O'Keefe peppered him with left and right and Cross scarcely landed blow. Cross opened with three left in rapid suc- cession in the second before O'Keefe warmed up and began hammering the dentist with left and right. Cross eye was closing and he clinched to the end of the round.

FREE KID M'COY
 ON THEFT CHARGE

London. Aug. 22-"Kid" Mccoy was discharged by Magistrate Bennett in Bow street police court, today, when arraigned on accusation of complicity la a jewel theft from the Princess of Thurn and fexie at Ostend. It was gian request for McCoy's extradition was based on a confession by a drunken woman who. when sober, re- pudiated everything that she said un- der the influence of liquor.
 There is absolutely no evidence against the prisoner said the magis- trate in freeing the American ex- pugilist.
 Kid" Mccoy, or. correctly, Norman Selby. was arrested July 26 as he was stepping out of the Strand from the Hotel Cecil. where he and his wife were stopping. The Belgian minister stated that an application for the Kids extr addition to Ostend would be made in due form and asked that dence against Mccoy looked flimsy. Princess of Thurn and Texis had un- suuestionably been robbed of valuable Jewels at her hotel in Ostend a few days previously but the only reason for connecting the ex-pubilist with the theft was that he and his wife were staying at the same hotel at the time
 The ma gistrate said, however, he had no option but to grant the minis ter's request The Belgian. govern ment continued to fail to get extradi- ton proceedings into proper form for McCoy's surrender to the police at Ostend. Finally, the United States sasiness and Mccoy was freed on $15,-
 Today's was his second hearing since then.

A. Q. \.
Convention Sessions of Yesterday Afternoon Accomplish Much
 Preparatory to Today.

When the convention reassemb bled at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon the cre- dential committee made it's report showing that "A divisions of the order were entitled to representation with 251 delegates present. This compiet- was accepted. The next business was the appointment of committees to carry on the work of the convention. There are seven of these committees composed of seven members each. Fol- lowing are the chairmen of the vari- ous committees:
 Resolutions, Judge D. J. Sullivan, of New Haven; press, Thomas c. Root, Ansonia; Ladies' Auxiliary, Thomas Hourigan, Meriden; constitutional amendments, John McNamara, of An sonia; military affairs, M. J. Connolly, New Haven: claims and grievances, All of these committees met last night and organized at the Stratfield.
 A number of resolutions dealing with different matters for the benefit of the order were received by the convention yesterday, and referred to the com mittee on resolutions. Others were sent to the committee without read ing.
 President Sullivan read his biennial upon the condition of the or Ger in which he said the Connecticut stand high, ranking only silently below New York in numbers, but not taking second place to any State in the enthusiasm shown by its members. He said Connecticut wields a powerful influence in the National affairs of The order. He spoke at some length of the national convention held recently in Chicago. He an- nounced that before the next conven- tion the Hibernian scholarship in the Catholic University at Washington, held by Brother Wood of New London, would become vacant, and the new State board would have the choice of his successor.
 He reported the Ladies' Auxiliary as and doing excellent work, the members of the State board work ing with and aiding the Hibernians in every way possible. He outlined a plan of voluntary insurance which was adopted at the national convention and will be referred to the divisions for final decision as to it's adoption He urged the formation of juvenile divisions, saying that the strength of the order in the future must come from those of Irish descent born in this country and not from the immi- grants from the mother country. The military division, he said, is prosper ng under the able leadership of Col. J. H. McMurray, and he then referred 70 his retirement from the office of State president, having been elected national secretary at the recent con- 1ention.

WHY O'DAY IS
 NOT SUCCESS AS
 BASEBALL LEADER
Years of Service as Umpire Has Made It Hard For Him to Jolly
 Players.

Philadelphia, Aug. 22-One reason for the hard luck of Henry O'Day as a manageable has shown. no diplomacy and has proved himself poor mixer. All season long he has kept away from his men, aside from a few short re- marks in the Hobbies of the hotels. Even there, Henry seldom sticks around long, but beats it to some se- cluded spot and is seen no more.
 He eats by himself he goes to and from the ball yards by himself, and he is never seen chumming around the best efforts out of a crowd un- less he is one of them. Connie Mack is father as we'll as a manager, his boys are all looking up to him that way.
 John McGraw is a practical joker, forever devising fool stunts to make monkeys out of outsiders and give the Giants something to laugh at. George StovaH says: When you have an im- perative thirst, fellows, notify me and I'll lead you to it." Frank Chance mixes with his men around the diff ferent cities and bullies them in a Jovial, playful fashion.
 Hank O'Day's years of umpiring spoiled his managerial chances. For
 many seasons he had held aloof from all players, as is the umpire's law. He had grown reserved, close-mouthed, accustomed 10 h6r01ng Dy himself When he took command of the Reds, he honestly tried to come out of the shell and mix. He couldn't. For little time he went around with the boys took in picture shows with them, tried to get sociable. No use. You can't break the habits of a dozen years in few days Whats more. the players couldn't come halfway and meet him. Instinctive1y they had grown accustomed to Umpire O'Day. the common enemy. They couldn't seem to get friendly with Manager O'Day, their new director
 Ere long Hank resumed the iron shell he wore so long as an umpire; the players stood away from him just as they did when he was making de- cisions, and Henry O'Day became a solitary being.
 That's what umpiring will do to man: Up in Chicago, before he took on the umpire job, Hank was a ward politician and a good one, too. A ward politician has to be a mixer, and Hank, twenty years ago. was a mingler from Mingville. Umpiring erased all the sociability, and convert ed Henry into a silent sphinx, without talk or polity. At heart Hank is a grand old boy, worthy of high respect "a man who, once really understood, is liked and respected forever. But umpiring crabs the best of 'em, and 1t can't be helped. One thing sure: It will be quite a while before any mag nate asks another umpire to manage his ball club.

 ON BUSINESS ROUTINE.

Have rules and routine disappearsd from business life? There was a De- riod when the time schedule ruled Both young and old in shop and office; when the successful man of affairs rose at seven, breakfasted at eight, was as his officeiat nine, dictated letters until tan. and so on, until five or six o'clock daily throughout the year. Now. Che rules and routine have apparently gone.
 It is true there are still some who hold fast to the gospel of details nd who, writing in the September Strand, says:
 II confess that I attach great Enpor- tance to routine I believe that every young man who intends to succeed in business should do as I did-take q course at a commercial college. ao not believe in what is called the rtle should be properly taugat, and t11s ground prepared to build upon. If e youth has had no thorough ground-r ing, time may come when his weak ness for detail will show itself
 When people write to me asking for the secret of my success Z always tell them that owe everything to q love for ,andmastery of details A man play ing chess or billiards or golf must at- tend to details If he wants to win why must he not do So in business? Everyone ought to be able to keep his own books and know exactly to pen- ny how the money comes ff1 and how it goes our. l have known many bright, intelligent men who never real ly knew all the facts about their own affairs They did not actually know when they were making money on certain operation and when they vera losing. Such business men live ia fools paradise; they hate to stady their books and face the truth. They are often brilliant at a single greMk stroke, but they cannot keep uD the game, simply because they are weak in detail, and they are weak in detail because they have never studied iH nyf @ciY1es' ''
