THE BRIDGE! TIL BRlGG!! a
TO THE BRIGG!!!

/ "Come tllro' the heather,
Around him gather,
You're a. the welcomer early,
Around him cling
Wi all your kin, but Charlie"
Scotch Folksong.
Twenty years and more have pass
ed in talking and figuring over a
bridge, new bridge, better hriag",
memorial bridge, if you will, from
Washington to Alexandria county
above the Arlington estate. Some
thing ought to be done. The popu-
lation of the county has about doub-
led in that time. Something ought
to be done quickly.
One citizen wants Capital Traction
cars to run across, another wants
something else. To the shades with
the details! Get together on the main
chance, the bridge; the engineers
will take care of the details, when
once the money is at hand.
Alexandria county wants this
briLgc So does Alexandria city.
What benefits one benefits the other
In fact the two arc like husband and
wife. The "old man" may get ut
tie tipsy at times; but it is the good
( wifc's part TO keep him sober, not to
run To the divorce court. Virginia
wants the bridge; tor the AieXan-
drias are her children. The Nation
wants it; not merely for the sake OF
Arlington but for the sake Of Vlr-
ginia, her faithful daughter. What
has not Virginia deserved Of the Ma
ton? Nearly Il century and Il half
ago she raised the slogan Of liberty;
she gave the voice of her intellect;
sher sayv thc' aa5hirg Sword Of her
power; she gave the life blood of her
sons. May she not then ask this lit
tie thing Of the mighty ti'e of
wealth.
Last winter Congress took once
more a faltering step toward the
bridge; il appointed a commission
with the President as chairman and
$4,000 to make plans, but did not
actually appropriate the money.
The other day Representative Carlin
took steps to get the $4,000 into the
urgency deficiency bill now going
through Congress- Some ways it is
really his job. But the $4,000 was
left out Senators Martin and Swan
son have rallied to his support and
tho matter is before the Senate COM
mittcc Let everybody help.
"Comc thro' the heather;
Come all together,

New Haven, Sept. 22-Head Coach Howard Jones, of the Yale football eleven, said last night that the work would be light till after the Wes- leyan game con Wednesday. All the players are in excellent condition ex- cept Pumpelly, whose injured knee will keep him in the hospital two weeks longer.
 Cornell and Harbison, who have been i'll, will join the team this week There is doubt about the eligibility of Captain Guernsey, of last years freshman eleven, because of scholar ship conditions.
 Word has been received that Fred Daly, the Williams College head coach; Johnny Fitzpatrick, the form CT end, and Johnny Field, head coach two years ago, will be here today to assist in the coaching. Beckert, the substitute halfback who sprained his ankle Saturday, will be out of the game this week.

New York, Sept. 21-A1though
 three years will elapse before the
 sixth revival of the Olympic Games to
 be held at Berlin during the summer
 of 1916, the meet has already assum-
 ed proportions far surpassing any
 previous struggle for worlds amateur track and field championships. The
 games, their pre1irn inaries and prep arations are topics of national and in ternational comment and discussion throughout the old and new world. In the midst of all these preparations the United States athletic authorities con tinue to lead the way. American prospects for the 1916 Olympic Games are brighter than at any time since the revival of this athletic classic, owing to the work of the new International Athletic Federation'' just organized at Berlin by delegates from sixteen leading athletic coun- tries of the world.
 As a controlling international au- thoritY for amateur track and field sports it's suggestions to the Olympic Games Committee will carry great weight. The proposed l. A. F. stand ard program of track and field events is made up almost entirely of events on the program of American college and athletic club events and the rules are largely those to which the An0E1Can aInlSC6S are accustomed The victory of the American views at the congress German sport critic ascribe to the fact that the events proposed by the United States are practiced everywhere and are devoid of freakishness; the superiority of the results produced under the American rules and in no small measure to the ability of the American delegates and the prestige of American athletes.
 It was the concensus of opinion among the delegates that the Ameri- can representatives of the Amateur Athletic Union were by far the best versed in the theory and technique of athletics. When they advocated changes in the rules they advanced contention and won many victories and supporters to their ideas. Some of the rules advocated at the sugges- ton of the United States delegates were: Toe-board circles for the shot put; penalties for false starts, and rule to prevent the drawing of several entrants all representing one country in preliminary heats of traces. On a few points American ideas were re- jected, as, for instance in adopting a 16-pound shot made of iron instead of the smaller American lead shot, and in providing for a dug-out take-of for the broad jump, against the United States argument that the take off joist sunk flush with the ground was far safer.
 While the International Athletic Federation was smoothing out wrinkles in the program to be offered as a model for the Berlin games, the Olympic controversy that has held the of English athletic follow CTS since the Stockholm meet of year ago attained fresh prominence. The proposal to raise a fund of $500,- 900 rather staggered the average sub feet of George " Although there were few early subscribers to the fund there were hundreds of inquiries as to what was to be done with this enor- nous sum of money.

SOLDIER KEARNS WINNER AT PANAMA
Brooklyn Boxer Beats Three in Canal Zone and Claims
 Title.

Soldier Kearns claims he made a record last Labor Day, when he de- feated all the available heavywefghts of Panama, sending two of them to sleep and getting the decision on points over the third. The Soldier went to Colon last summer and took a position as Zone policeman his real object being to gain cash and glory in the ring.
 On Labor Day he was matched with three men and the contests took place at the Colon A. c. Kearns knocked out Jack Livingstone in three rounds. Joe Steptoe in one round and got the decision over Kid Norfolk of Baltf- more.
 After his victories Kearns offered $50 for any man who would stand before him for six rounds, but his per- formance scared all the battlers away. Then the Soldier decided that Pana- ma was no place for a boxer and fe- turned to Brooklyn.

M'GRAW AND MACK
 70 SETTLE TITLE
Each Has Won One Worlds s Series And Next Is Rubber.

When Cornelius McGil1icuddy and lawn McGraw marshal their war riors on the field of battle next month to fight for the baseball championship of the United States, the world and the dominions of the solar system, as of course now seems assured, a neat little issue of managerial supremacy will be presented
 The two master minds of the game, each an advocate of a. different school, have clashed twice before with the honors even. The New York leader, with the great Chriety MathewsOn in his prime, had a walkover in 1905. the Giants winning four out of five games, every one of which was shut-out- The Athletics scored only three runs in the whole series.
 In 1911 the pendulum swung the oth- CT way, and while Mack's task was stin one. the teams being forced into extra innings twice, he managed. to capture four of the six games played, thanks to the herculean blows of Ba- her and the pitching of Bender, Plank and Coombs-
 This year the same all-star casts again appear on the diamond, with few slight changes. For Philadelphia Jack Coombs will be missing, but Har- ry Davis may be back on first, owing to the injury to McInnis. Briscoe Lord has gone from the fold, but Dan ny Murphy is available for pinch hit ting duty. The main force, consisting of Bender, Plank, Baker, Barry, Collins and Oldring, will answer the call, how ever
 On the New York side Mathewson is again prepared for his fourth effort at a worlds series heroship, while 9darquard boasting record of nine teen straight victories since he met the Athletics, will be factor. Mey- CTS, Doyle, Herzog, Fletcher, Snod- grass and Murray, all seasoned vet erans in the worlds series, are hank sring to begin counting the highly val ued receipts

SYMPATHY HAS NO
 PLACE IN BIG LEAGUE

Detroit, Sept. 22.-Baseball is one profession where sympathy is seldom wasted In many ways the game is a heartIess one, although few stop to think of it as such Fans consider the big salaries, but not the injured play Hrs who are discharged.
 During the first trip of the Brooklyn Dodgers to Chicago there was a ster- ling catcher on the staff by name of Tex Erwin. He was the regular back stop last season, but had shared honor with Otto Miller this spring.
 In one of the games Zimmerman tried to score from third. Erwin got the throw in plenty of time and held the ball in front of the plate waiting for Heine's slide. Zim hit the dirt and crashed against Erwin's wrist. There was a. quick snap and ETwin's wrist was broken. It was entirely an accident, but one of the misfortunes of the game.
 Erwin was put on the hospital list and not long ago drew his release. He was sent back to the minors for per forming his duty on the ball field.
 Things like these are remembered by ball players. They are not so lia- bIe to take chances when they have the big tin can staring them in the face.
 Jake stah1 is another who was hurt and drew his blue envelope. It made no difference to the money-loving nagnates if Jake had won a world s pennant. His foot was injured and he couldn't take his regular position on first base
 -The incident of Mordecai Browns release from the Cubs still is keenly remembered He smashed his leg slid Ing to second-hurt in the perform ance of his duty. Brownie with a broken pin was of no further use to the Cubs for the rest of the season. e. T-1 f0 2dT a base didn't keep him on the club for the remainder of his contract.
 Joe Tinker was wise enough to take Brownie-fee1ing sure the lion-hearted pitcher would eventually recover. And Brownie is good again.
 what would the public think if the government canned a soldier for be- Ing shot through the shoulder while storming fort?
 His reward is always a pension.

SQUAD OUT
 FOR B. H. s. TEAM


 About 15 men reported for the special High School football practice held Saturday at Seaside Park More are expected to come out during the next week and as soon as two teams are out scrimmages will be held! There are seven of last years team in school and it is hoped by Coach Flanagan that they will agree to play again this year as he would then have a nucleus about which to build the team. Ed Lynch, who was elected captain at the end of last season, has so far refused to come out and if he does not report soon a captain will be elected to take his place. The Tor rington game which is scheduled for next Saturday will most likely be postponed as it is feared the team will not be in shape by that time.
 In K1Ofkorn B. H. s. has a man who will undoubtedly be a sensation before the season is over. Although this is his first year at the gridiron game he has so far picked up very rapidly and if he shows as much apti- tude for football as he did for basket ball he will soon be on the first team. Beach is another man who will star before many moons. Reynolds has improved a, great deal over the form shown last year and should give some Quake Gregory will return to the fold there will be no worry regarding the protection of the center of the Iine Smoke Mendelson has come out for the team and being naturally fast will make ideal man for halfback or end

SHECKARD MAY BUY
 FRANCHISE AT BROCKTON

Brockton, Sept 22.=After the Brockton baseball fans had become reconciled to the fact that they had seen the last of New England league ball, for a few years at least, their hopes were raised when it was an nounced that Jimmy Sheckard Of the Cincinnati Baseball club is nego- tiating for the purchase of the local franchise, and that the chances are good that he will personally run the team in this city next year.
 That Sheckard is interested is shown from the fact that he has wired and written several friends in this city regarding the situation. In each case the replies have been encouraging. The Brockton owners want $7,OOO for the franchise, and those who are looking out for Sheckard's interests here state that an agreement will be readily reached regarding the price.
 Sheckard began his professional baseball career in this city under Walter Burnham in 1897, going from here to Brooklyn, and he is unques- tionably the most popular baseball player who ever played in this city.

CARLISLE INDIANS
 MAKE GOOD START
Experts Who Saw First Came Say Redskins Will Startle Fans.

Football coaches who went down to Carlisle on Saturday to see the In- dians in action against Albright and to get a line on Glenn Warmers 1913 football model came away visibly inn pressed with the latent strength of the Aborigtnes. While Warner took good care not to show too much and the mud prevented the Indians from go- ing at a real speedy clip, there was something about the Carlisle squad that spelled class.
 In Calac and Guyon. fuI1back and left halfback respectively, Carlisle showed a pair of backs either of whom Is likely to step into the niche left va cant by Jim Thorpe. Calac's work, both in line plunging and in kicking, was thoroughly impressive. and around him Carlisle's play will un- doubtedly be built up.
 Goesback in many ways reminded on1ookers Of Frank Mount Pleasant in running the team at quarter and handling the forward pass. In this important play he had an unusually fast co-worker in Kelsey, the left end. Albright, despite the 25-to-0 score, gave fine account of itself, and held the Indians to the smallest early sea- son score they have yet compiled. Pownall the Albright quarter is re- garded as a star who would shine in any company.
 The only other contest of importance showed the University of Maine to be in none too good condition for its tus- sle with Harvard on Saturday. New England critics who saw the contest were not bit backward in asserting that it was one of the weakest teams yet turned out at Orono, and in view Of the scant victory over Boston Col lege, by 6 to o, it certainly does look is if the experts had the right dope.

Sept. 21.


 1s91-Tommy Warren, ex-feather- weight champion, was defeated by Cal Mccarthy in 21 rounds at New Or leans. This was the last but two of the ring battles of the once great lita tie fighter. A few months later he was knocked out by George Dixon at Philadelphia After that he shot a man in Waco, Tex, and spent several years in prison. On his release War ren was matched with Terry McGov- ern, but he was so pitifuIly outclassed that the bout was stopped in the first round.

Like Vol gast, Webster has been going back for year or two. In 1909 he fought a 20-round draw with Monte AtteIl in San Francisco, and Jimmy Reagan held him to a draw in 20 rounds at Ogden in 1910. webster's last i'm portant bout in America was fought at Vernon early in 1911, when he was knocked out by Joe Rivers in the un- lucky 18th.

GIANTS CATCHERS
 STOP MOST RUNNERS

The catching stan of the New York Giants has done even better work this season in preventing base runners from stealing than Connie Mack's re- ceiVers. The average number of lar cenies a game on Lapp, Schang G. CO. during the present campaign hae been 1.25; on "Chief' Meyers and his asso- ciates it stands at .95. Up to last Thursday the opponents of the Giants had flched 132 hassocks in 139 con tests, s2 bases having been stolen on Meyers in 106 games, 2s on Arthur Wilson in A games, IS on Larry Nc- Lean in q games and on Grover Hartley in IS games.
 Meyers and his assistants have been all season, and only once have they allowed more than four stolen bases in one game At Chicago on June 9 the Cubs were credited with seven lar cenies at the expense of Meyers and Hartley, but the Bruins were allowed to run wild on the bases because the Giants were far in the lead.
 Meyers, of course is McGraw'S best throwing catcher. The average mum Der of thefts charged against him per game this season is orr. Waffle Schang, Mack's ab1est bacl0stop, has a record of O.93.
 The New York backstops have turn ed back 125 of the men who tried to steal. Meyers throwing out 98 Wilson 16, Mclean 10 and Hartley l. Included among their victims are IA Braves. J4 Superbas, IS Cubs, 19 Reds, 14 Phillieg, 24 Pirates and 22 Cardinals.

PLANK PLEADS AGE AS
 HE SLOWS UP IN GAME

Washington, Sept. PA certain um- pire tells this story about Eddie Plank, the Athletics veteran southpaw:
 Plank is getting awfully slow and demonstrated with him about it the other day. He came back with this excuse:
 Look here. I am nearly 40 years old. I can't go like these young fel- lows have to husband all my strength to go nine innings and I can not hurry
 Since then I have felt a certain amount of pity for the old fellow as well as admiration for his frankness in admitting the truth to me, and I haven't asked him to hustle up since.''

 In an interview with New York writer, Manager Frank Chance of the New York American says Bill Holden hasn't shown much speed. He ought to have something on George White man, the Texas league recruit, who is over 30 years old. Perhaps Chance is gently knocking Holden so the New London recruit won't get swelled head.
 Hartford played poor ball Saturday and lost to Lowell in the third game of the post season series by to 4. Geist was knocked out by the win ners.
