U, OF P. PLANNING
 TO SPEND MILLIONS
SCHEME CoNTEAIPLATEs DoU- BLING GROUNDS AND STADIUM
 TO HOLD 100000.

Philadelphia July 22=P1ans now being considered by officials of the University of Pennsylvania, are expect ed to result in the spending of severaa million dollars in extension work in closing portions of several streets to traffic if the city assents that a fifty acre concrete arch will be placed over the tracks of the Pennsylvania, Rail- road nearby and that huge stadium will be constructed.
 At present the University grounds occupy 116 acres. If the proposed ex- tension is made a hundred acres will be added to them The property now Is fntersected by a number of streets and, although much of the territory southeast of woodland avenue, near the Schuy1kiu River, is controlled by the University, number of streets run through it. In the extension plan 1t is proposed to have the portions of streets south of Woodland avenue closed to traffic. This would include Thfrty-third. Thirty-fourth. Thirty sixth, Spruce, Chancellor and South streets. Car lines are operated on the first, third and fourth named streets.
 It is a part of the plan to bridge the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks with a concrete arch. Ons this arch, which would be fifty acres in extent, tennis courts would be marked out and pro vision made for other games. This manner of using arches fhas been the custom along the Seine in Paris for many years.
 It is the hope of those who are fostering the plans for enlargement to convert the depression of the northern end of Woodland Cemetery into a. great anphi-theatre capable of seat ing 100000 persons. This would be one of the largest, if not the largest in the world.
 A boulevard along the SchuyIkiu would lead to the stadium and street car arrangeme ents will be provided. If the amphitheatre is constructed Franklin Field will be used for minor games.

The first astronomer to satisfactor- Ole Roemer, asScandinaian scientist, who read his immortal paper on this subject before the Academy at Paris 23S years ago to-day, July 22, 1875. Roemer's calculations and concIu- sions have stood the test of time and subsequent investigations on all inn portant points. Knowledge as to the velocity, of light was. of tremendous importance to astronomical science since it enabled astronomers to accu- rately estimate the enormous distan- ces with which their science deals Roemer found that light travelled at the rate of 186, 1000 miles in a second. The sun, being distant from earth 92,00Os0OO miles, flashes light to us in eight minutes and fourteen seconds Yet the sun is a near neighbor com pared with the so-ca1led fixed stars which in reality move with inconceiv- able velocity, although the most pow erful telescopes will not show that ve- locity as anything but rest. Beyond the outskirts of our insignificant solar system are other systems, and beyond them still others, so far as the sight of
 man, aided by instruments may bridge the ghast1y chasm of the infinite. Dis tances beside which the immense line stretching from earth to sun is an in visible pDint are now measured by means of Roemer's epochal discovery as to the velocity of light.

TWIN CITY LEAGUE.

The Cross Country brigade went
crazy with the heat last night, and
tried to shatter all the bowling rec

Churchills Colts were the unwilling
victims. and they were sent down to
ignominous defeat just three times.
The Wichs were brightly burning all
the way, as may be gathered by

Huecksted knocked down SOB pins,

John WITCH rounded out the bill with
a regular knockout, grabbing .555 pins
and considerable glory on the side.
By sweeping the series last night, the

maintain the top rung position, while
the Cubs were taking three from the

OF the Cubs, Art Salzmann was the
popular guy. Art demonstrated that
his gridiron battles have not handi-

CAME TOMORROW
Eastern and Western Teams to
Clash in Big Intersectional
Struggle.

Football teams representing Michi-
gan and Pennsylvania will clash for
the ninth time at Ann Arbor tomor-
row in the last and most important
intersectional struggle of the year. OF
the eight games played between these
universities. Pennsylvania won five
contests. Michigan two. and one strug
gle resulted in a scoreless tie.
Both teams will struggle 10 uphold
the caliber of football pl: yed in their
respective sections. II will be Michi-
CAMS last game of the season and
nothing will be left undone by Coach
Yost TO bring about 4 victory. The
Wolverines realize that winning over
the Quakers will be fitting climax
10 a successful season and another
triumph for western football.
Pennsylvania not only will attempt
to uphold the honor of the east but
the team also will make heroic efforts
10 make amends for its defeat by Dart
month q week ago. The Quakers al
ways have shown their best against
the Maize and Blue, and tomorrow's
struggle is not likely 10 be an excep-
ton.
Both elevens went through bruising
battles a week ago and both will be
handicapped by injuries. In addition
to playing d hard game against Dart
mouth. the fasteners will be placed
at a disadvantage by the trip and play
ing on a foreign field. The Wolverines
should have recovered from the effects
OF the train ride TO Ithaca and return
last week and Yost should be able to
put a strong team in the field.
The decided improvement shown by
MICHIGAN since its defeat by the Michl-
gan Aggies and it's victories over Van
derbilt. Syracuse and Cornell have
aroused great interest in tomorrow's
game. Michigan alumni residing in
Chicago have made extensive prepare ,

Feds For More Freedom.

That the Federal league does not
intend to interfere with the contrac-
tual obligations of baseball players
Illegally" but that it's members in
tend to have something to say about
the meaning of illegally was made
plain by a statement issued yesterday
by President J. A. Gilmore of the
Chicago Federal league club.
Mr.. Gilmores remarks were prompt
ed by speech delivered at the ban
quet of the National association at
Columbus by Chairman Hermann of
the national commission. He agrees
with the commissioner that the game
is open to all, but denies the commits
sion the right to decide without ques-
ton or appeal what constitutes Illegal
interference with organized baseball
He reiterates the statement the Fed

tains the right of players not under

YALE MEN NOT FISHING"
FOR PUBLIC RECOGNITION

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 14.-Cap-
tain H. H. Ketcham of the Yale foot
ball team yesterday gave out a state
ment explaining his reasons for the
definite decision that the football men
will not wear numbers on the back of
their jerseys. 1t had been suggested
that each player be numbered so that
the spectators could follow the plays
more closely. Captain Ketcham's
statement says:
81 thoroughly disapprove of the prac-
tice of numbering football men and
we have decided not to depart from
our former system. This new step has
been advocated by the newspapers for
their own benefit in distinguishing the
men. Football is not being conducted
here for the newspapers. but for the
college, and the players are not work
ing TO win recognition by the public,
but are playing for themselves and the
university"
Yale's football practice yesterday
was light, consisting of signal drill,
breaking through and kicking, in half
hour periods. The third eleven, using
Princeton formations. lined up against
the varsity for breaking through prac-
tice. Knowles practiced punting and
booted high spirals which averaged
more than 40 yards. Pompelly, Guern-
sey and Pendieton practiced drop and
place kicking with fair success
