SEA BREEZE ISLAND

Old Folks Night is the program for Bert Morphy and the Wheeler & Will son band at Sea Breeze Island this evening. MT. Morphy, famous as the man who sings to beat the band,'' will sing tonight program of songs that are familiar to the music lovers of a generation ago.
 MT. Morpny, singing this week with the band, presents a program of songs of especial significance each night. Monday night, his s'Sweethearts' Night'i served to introduce love songs and sentimental ballads. Tomorrow night he will sing a program of Irish songs, in which he excels by reason of his nativity; Friday night will be Germon night, and Saturday night he will sing a program of patriotic num- bers, particularly songs for his new ly formed friends in this city in the G. A. R., who met him at the island ona Fourth of July.
 Bathing at Sea Breeze is quite the fad the last few days. The renovated bathing houses and improved facili- ties of the beach are touching a re- sponsive chord during the sultry af- Yternoons and evenings.
 Dancing, roller skating, and many and diverse amusement attractions combine to make Sea Breeze quite these hot days.
 The we'll esta blished fact that Sea Breeze is always many degrees cooler than the city is its most valuable as- set these days and nights.

Nature Teaches lnxenter..


 ''We get our hints from nature" the inventor said: Take, for instance, the hollow pillar, which is stronger than the solid one The wheat straw showed us the superior strength of the hollow pillar. Solid, the wheat straw would be unable to support it's head of grain. Where did man get his idea for car riage springs? From the hoofs of the horse, which, like the springs derived from them, are made from parallel plates. Scissors we get from the jaws of the tortoise, which are natural scis- sors; chisels from the squirrel. who carries them in his mouth adzes from the hippopotamus. whose worries are adzes of the best design: the plane from the bees jaws; the triphammeT from the woodpecker."

Do hgny. produced Dumas drama. "Kean. ; with the rather peculiar stipulation that. the. author should receive one third of the gross receipts when these exceeded 3.0O6 francs and nothing at all if they fell belowl that figure. Dumas, who was always hard up. came late one evening to get his share. Luck s5against you again. said the manager, You don't get anything to- night. Here isShe account.
 Dumas glanced at it and went away. Tn few minutes he cama back and said: ...s. |. .s

share of the great halfbacks. There
are so many men from whom TO
choose that it is splitting hairs
to put one above another, yet we
make the stab by placing John
Craig and Phil Cornell in the first
two positions with Lewie Hard
age and Vincent Campbell in the
second. Both Craig and Cornell
played four years on Vanderbilt
teams, while Hardage at the close
of the present year will have had
but two and Campbell played only
one. Phil Council was probably the
greatest of all the stiff arm run
ners at Vanderbilt He was fast
shifty, side stepped well, and at
the same time had fine driving
power. He was almost immune
from injury and as a punter. drop
and placement kicker he has never
had superior.
John Craig, as a ground gamer
was superb. He handled himself
very much as Hardage does. Both
men use the sidestep and straight
arm, and both are hard to throw.
As a purely ground gaining propo-
sition there is nothing to choose
between them. but Craig has an
advantage on the defense and on
blocking. Vincent Campbell might
have shown above the entire field

Center.
At center, Stein stone looms high
above the field. His accurate pass
ing to the quarterback. backs and
punters were factors in many Van

no credit. As a defensive man he

CHAS. HEMPHILL MAY
SUCCEED PHILLIPS AS
YOUNGSTOWN MOGUL

Charley Hemphill. deposed as At
lanta's manager in mid-season, may
lead the Youngstown club next year:
taking the place of Bill Phillips, former
New Orleans pitcher.
Hemphill is now in Youngstown. He
says that he is not an applicant for the
job and will not be as long as Phillips
is in the position.
Just now the former Cracker mana
ger is the property of the Columbus
club. A fact not generally known here
is that Columbus took him with re-
luctance and that they fought the mat
ter clear to the national commission
before they paid the $500 they agreed
to give the local association.
Hemphill reported to Columbus in
bad condition and his behavior at that
time makes it doubtful if the American
ASSOCIATION team will try to make use of
him.

Harvard and Princeton, two
football teams that handed
two aspiring elevens for 1912 cham
pionship honors rude. hard jolts last
Saturday. are due to meet this Sat
urday in the stadium in what, from
all indications, should prove one of
the greatest contests Of the season.
The Crimson, emerging from its
game with Brown triumphant, 80 to
10. looks most formidable. and the
followers of the eleven are conf
dent of victory.
Down in Princeton. after tram
ping Dartmouth under foot % to I,
the Tiger is purring with satisfac-
ton and is sure that its trip into
the enemy's territory Saturday will
be highly successful.
The undergraduate are bowling
for a win by a greater margin than
last year. when Harvard was sent
home defeated by score of to 6.
1t will be the first time that
Princeton has come to Cambridge
for sixteen years, their last trip re-
sulting in an Orange and Black vic
tory II to 0.
Harvard, like Dartmouth. will
outweigh the Princeton eleven, and
again the game will revolve around
the question of whether a light
ming like attack will get the best of
beef and Drawn.
Critics who saw the Dartmouth
Princeton game say that the Han
over team was simply weighty and
that unthnking Drawn proved that
it wasn't worth much in football.
Princeton will find the Crimson
team an entirely different PROPOSE
ton. 1t will find the Drawn, but it
will find an eleven fast on both the
offense and defense. quick to dag
nose plays and with d variety of
attack.
Dartmouth against Princeton in
Dictated that it had not awoke to a
knowledge Of how to use its re-
markable innate power.
The Dartmouth forwards lowered
over those of Nassau, but did too
much towering and not enough of
getting down to business either on
attack or defense. SO that the
jump was with Princeton
throughout the game.
Princeton will without doubt
play the same kind of a game
against Harvard as against Dart
mouth. relying on getting that
