ARMY AND NAVY
 LIKELY TO BREAK
 IN ALL BRANCHES

Annapolis, Md, Sept. 2From the sentiment expressed by Naval officers relative to the action of the athletic authorities of West Point in breaking off negotiations for the Army-Navy football game, this year, there is little doubt that a failure to reach an un- ders tanding whereby the big game will be played this year will result in a comFlete athletic rupture between the two institutions.
 So keen is the feeling that it is likely to extend to other matters, and a serious breach - between the two branches of the service may be brought about Naval officers are guarded in their expressions at pres ent as they hope that the conference in Washington Wednesday may bring about the continuation of the game, but they do not hesitate to say the navy has been treated very badly in the matter.

ST. LOUIS CARDINALS
 CAN'T PAY SALARIES

Cincinnati, Sept. 2-Another chapter has been started in the affairs of the St. Louis Cardinals. A story is about here to the effect that the club man ayenent is financially embarrassed and ready funds are needed at once. The report is that Mrs. Britton, owner of the club, has mortgaged property she owns in Cleveland to the extent of $75,- o0O to tdie over the team, which is said to be almost on the rocks on salaries and travelling expenses. Mrs. Britton was reported to be in Cincinnati yes terday with the team, but she has not made her appearance here during the present series with the Reds.
 Manager Miller Huggins of the Car dinals, when asked as to where MT. and Mrs. Britton are, said they were enroute from New York to St. Louis. When asked as to the truth of the report that the team is in a bad way financially he passed up the question

PHILLIPS WILL APPEAL DECISION
 ON THAT FORFEIT

William F. Baker, acting president of the Philadelphia Nationals, and Man ager Charles Dooin expected today per sona1Iy' to- lay before President Tom Lynch a formal pr otest against Unn- pire Brennan's forfeiture of Saturdays game in the Quaker City to the New York Giants.
 Baker and zDooin expected to take action yesterday, but could not get in touch with the league executive. MT. Lynch was not to be found at his of fees and was probably spending the holiday at New Britain, Conn
 Dooin was rather 1oquacious a, civilian, though quiet enough during the games in Brooklyn, which Brennan uInpired. He says that spectators have always occupied that section of the centre field b1eachers from which Brennan wished to drive them Satur- day on big days
 Chicago and Pittsburgh won dou- b1e headers from us when conditions in centre field were even worse, said Dooin, "and if the forfeit to New York stands then those four defeats forI us should be thrown out"
 Whatever action Tom Lynch may take in the matter iteis not likely that he will announce his decision for ten days, at. least Tom is a. decided par Iiamentarian and lays his course strict ly according to +'Hoy1e" as applied to organized baseball.

Charles T. Earl who manages the famous aquatic act '"Stx Diving Nymphs' now playing at the Poli Main street theatre, is not only well known as a director of water sports, but for many years was known upon the banked tracks where bicycle rac- ing was the feature. It was he who when motor cycle paced competitive races of quarter, half, one hundred and two hundred mile became tame devised the famous train paced bicycle race over specially prepared tracks oF the Long Island railroad. On that event full day it was Earl who rode the first half-mile, preceding Charles Murphy the only man who rode a. mile behind full speed railroad train.

LEACH CROSS WINS
 FROM KID BARRED

Cross, the New York boxer, fought ten tame rounds with Frank BarTieu, a j1o- cal hstic celebrity, here yesterday. Cross did not at any time extend him self and was held to a draw, while the customer said that Barrieu's awk- ward style bothered him, the consen- sus of opinion was that Cross was un- der a pull. Barrieu took some severe punches, however, and also got to Cross with some telling blows.
 Accofnpanied by his brother -manag- CT, Sam Wa11ach, and his family, Cross left for New York today. He had in tended staying here for the. Ritchie- Welsh bout, but as prospects do not look any too good for remunerative matches Cross has decided to hit the trail east.

CROSSMEN SPLIT
 HOLIDAY CONTESTS
By Wagner)

Chief Snyder had on is war paint yesterday afternoon .here and although his supporting tribe was made up of young bucks he scatped the mighty Hartford Braves by 1 to o. The big chiefs, McGamweI and HaIlTnan, were sent to the roundhouse for repairs and Snyder had to try the old Rube Wad- dell trick of pitching without any sup porting cast. How well he did the trick may be gleaned from the fact that he allowed the slugging league leaders only six hits.
 Clyde Geist was in the bIockhouse for the Senators. He bothered the crip- pied Crossmen but they managed to play one tally across the boards. Of the eight swats chalked up by the To- cals,~ three were contributed by Chief Snyder. Harvey Russell got two. Ira Hallrnan was out of the game because of an injury to his leg which he sus- tained Sunday when he ripped while going to first. He burt the leg again yesterday morning. McGamwel1 crack ed one Of his ribs last week and must carry himself in a sling for a. few days.
 Br1dgeport's lone score was made in the fourth With two gone, Bronno Sil- ger slapped for a single and stole the midway. Snyder bounded a high one at Geist and beat the throw to first As the hur1 was a trtf1e wide Silzer dashed for the pan and beat the ball by a dust raising slide.
 A great piece of, defensive work was pulled by the Crossnen in the seventh. Garde1lay singled with one gone and took third on Muldoon's hit. The de- 1ayed steal was tried and Russell made a. short throw. Snyder 1eaped up, grabbed the sphere and shot it to third catching GardeI1a- Benny Kauff had three hits. His three bagger gave the crowd a scare but it came with two out and Snyder famed Jack Hoey. The score:

 The next home game will be tomor- Tow when New Haven appears at New field. The Crossmen are in bad shape but hope to get the decision over the Sav1n Rock bunch. Dick Tuckey or Blossom Blum will pitch.
 That was a fearful decision made by Umpire Brennan in Philadelphia last Saturday when HA forfeited a, game to the Giants because the fans refused to move from the bleacher The PhiIIies were leading by to 6 in the ninth when the trouble took place. Empires are apt to forget common sense in their rulings. Games should be won on their merits and not on some tech nical point. And it is difficult to see how fans who have paid admission should be compelled to change their seats.
 Secretary Sullivan of the Olympic Games committee says America may withdraw from the 1916 Olympiad! It has been learned that an immense fund has been raised in England and that men are being taken from their jobs in order that they may train hard. This amounts to professionalism.

GOOD ROADS FOLLOW FLOOD.
Ohio Catastrophe to Result in I'M

The truth Of the old saying. It's an
Ill wind that blows no one good" is
no less well demonstrated, following the
great flood that swept over Ohio and
Indiana, than II has been after every
disaster the world has seen. In the
present case those who advocate the
transportation OF merchandise by motor
trucks instead Of by horse and wagon.
or rail methods, are the ones who see
a great good to come out OF the flood,
though they were no less sympathetic
with its victims or prompt in coming
to their relief than any others in the
United States.
1t is in the reconstruction OF roads
and bridges destroyed by the great
sweep of waters that the motor truck
advocates are to benefit, according to
Vice President G. w. Bennett, of the
Garford Company. Of Elyria, Ohio. With
the work of rebuilding washed-out roads
and bridges completed. Ohio and Indiana
will have some of the best truck high

PLAN TO ESTABLISH
TOURING BUREAU HERE
Information for Motorists Concerning
Routes and Places of Interest
to Be Disseminated,

If the plans of a number OF prominent
motorists of this city are brought to a
successful conclusion. Washington is to
have what will be known as a Mutual
Touring Bureau" established for the pur-
pose of gathering and disseminating COM
plete and reliable touring information for
its members. As far as can be learned
the plans to establish such a bureau are
being backed by motor car owners of
this city who indulge in more or less
touring into the surrounding country and
who believe they have evolved a plan that
will be mutually helpful to those who en-
JOY motoring over good. roads which lead
to perfect country scenes and places of
interest.
But meager details Of the plans for the
bureau can be obtained at the present
time, but II is quite likely that the or
ganizers propose to establish an Office
where touring information that will in
clude maps, mileage and touring sugges-
tons may be obtained by members. The
membership fee will be nominal one
just enough to defray the expenses Of a
clerk and incidental expenses such as
stationery and postage, &c. According to
one motorist interested in the promotion
of the plan, it is probable that a car
carrying expert road finders and markers
will be sent out in the beginning to OBJ
tain the newest Information relative to
touring conditions. This informa ton will
be supplemented from time to time by
members of the bureau who undertake
taunts into hitherto UNEMPLOYED fields and
who will be asked to fill out a form card
which shall be forwarded to the offices of
the bureau conveying information con-
corning their tour for the benefit of other
members seeking light on that particular
trip.
The Mutual Touring Bureau is not to be
established as money making enterprise,
