Council Chamber last saturday
evening to listen to the report of
Mr.. Charles Kittredge, represent
ing the Denver Chamber of Com
merce, in reference 10 the Midland
trail of the Ocean ,o-Ocean auto
mobile route. About twenty OF
the citizens met on short notice to
meet him and there was a general
exchange of views. HIS explana-
ton and the answers to the many
questions propounded him we1e
very satisfactory. 1t was decided
at the meeting to form an Idaho
Springs branch of the Midland
Route and a temporary organiz
alton was effected by the election
of Father McC4be as chairman
and Charley Woodward as secre-
tary. Father McCabe is one OF
the six vice-presidenls of the Mid
lamp Route and his selection was
in accordance with his ex-ofhcio
position and was absolutely APP
propriate. A com mittee was ap-
pointed to prepare resolutions to
be presented to the state senate
urging the passage of the good
roads bill providing for the dis
burse ment of the funds that are
available for the roads of the
state. This committee consisted
of A. A. Slower, Guy Stumm and
Il. K. Graham. The committee
met and formulated the following.
AT meeting OF the Idaho
Springs Good Roads Association
held March Ist, 1913, the following
resolutions were adopted.
Whereas, One of the most vital,
if not the most vital, question be-
fore the people of the State OF
Colorado at the present time IS
that the Good Roads" not only
locally, but as pare OF nation
wide movement, and,
Whereas, There is now on de-
posit, to the credit of the state ap-
proximately one-half million dol
lars which can be used for this
purpose under the provision of
House Bill, No. 254, which has
been passed by the House of Rep
resentatiyes and is now in the
hands of the Senate, and
Whereas, For some unexplained
reason action on said House Bill.
No. 254, is being delayed IN the
in the Senate, to the peril OF the
Good Roads Movement in this
state and to the encouragement OF
Citizens all over the state who have
BY their contributions of money
and their own labor accomplished
more in actual constr uction OF
highways than has the state.
Therefore, BE 1T RESOLVED
That the Idaho Springs Good
Roads Association urge and de-
mand that the Senate take inme-
diate action upon the passage OF
this Bill to the end that construc-
= tion of the highways throughout
the state NAV not be delayed.
Resolved, That copies of these
resolutions be sent to our Honor
able Senators, Williams and Car
yer, with the request that they be
read in open Senate.

JACK SHELLY, FORMER FEATHER CHAMPION
 NOW AN INN-KEEPES

Boxing fans whose memories go as far back as the Corbett-Sullivan fight will remember Jack Skeuy, once one of the greatest and cleVerest of the featherweights. SkelIy's biggest bat tie was with George Dixon, and was pulled off twenty-one years ago today as a feature of the memorable fistic carnival in New Orleans. It was in this carnival that John l.. lost his title to Jim Corbett, and in which Jack McAuliffe defeated Billy Myer. In pugilistic history SkelIy ranks with Dixon, McGovern, AttelI and Ike Weir as the greatest of the little fellows. Jack is now running a successful hotel in Yonkers, N. r. He occasionally appears in the ring as a referee, and is a frequent contributor of stories about istiana to newspapers through out the English-speak world. As a Ht'ry man, Skelly writes his own stuff, and it is always interesting and needs little correction from the intelli-

Business of handing the flag to Jim Clarkin of Hartford while Jerry Con nell exits with head bowed down and sobs mingling with the section of fine cut in his cheek. The Eastern asso- ciation season is over and the honors have been won by Hartford after a hard fight. Until three weeks ago it looked as if New Haven had walk away. The Savin Rock boys were seven games ahead at that time but they struck a slump and were soon caught by the Senators. In the final series of five games, Hartford took three victories so it was all off with the cohorts of Jerry Cornell.
 New Haven had the best pitching staff in the league. And the club was also steady in the field and good on the bases. Where it lacked strength was at the bat. Hyder Barr was the team leader with an average of .289 and Pop Foster, usually 300 hitter, finished at a .279 clip. The real disappoin tments were Moose Mill CT with a mark of POT and Sherwood with 198 There wasn't single 300 clouter on the club.
 On the other hand Hartford was we'll fortified in the basehit department Jack Hoey, Izzy Hoffman, Benny Kauff and Bill Morley are all better than average hitters while Manager

HERRESHOFF TO BUILD CUP DEFENDER
Gets Order From New York Men To Construct Speedy
 Yacht

Briston, R. l., Sept. 6-Nat Heres hoff, the yacht designer, came home yesterday from an extensive confer bers of the New York Yacht Club, sIoop intended to defend the Arneri- Thomas Lipton in the series of con- tests at Sandy Hook in 1914.
 Designer Herreshoff has been away in his yacht, the Helianthus, at New York since last Tuesday. It appears that the craft that MT. Herresh off has designed will be only 70 feet on the water line and not 75 feet or longer. as is generally supposed. Rumor has it here that the challenger may have a water line shorter than 70 feet, a1- though Sir Thomas Lpton's early negotiations this year were for a, craft with a, 75-foot water line.
 Designer Herreshoff had little to say about the order, and as soon as he returned from New York he got to work in his model room. The news at once leaked out, and before dark all the mechanics at the boat shops were aware of the order. While an other order is expected at Herresh off s for a similar defender before long all energy will be bent at present on the craft which it is declared the New York Yacht Club sanctions and sup ports, if it really is not back of the order. No names of owners are dis closed. The new defender will be of similar dimensions to the 70-footers Yankee and three others built here in 19OO

HITTING AND BASE RUNNING
 WON PENNANT FOR HARTFORD
New Haven Didn't Have 300 CIOuter And
 Thereby Lost Out

[ si Mcdonald and Gus Cardella are good in pinch. The Senators didn't have any sensational pitchers but had good all around staff in Geist, Park CT, Averett, Salmon and Rieger. Base running was one of their strong points They were noted for their speed and daring on the paths, fea- lures which won for them many games.
 Waterbury will finish third and the SIappers deserve to land ahead of Bridgeport for Sam Kennedy's men have played better ball in the past month. Bridgeport was big dis appointment but considering the weak ness of the club did we'll to finish fourth. The Crossmen had a fair pitching staff and were good in the field but weak with the bat and ran bases poorly.
 Gene McCann didn't show much i'm provement over Jack Burns in New London, probably because some of the players were friendly to Burns and wouldn't hustle for McCann. Still fifth place isn't so bad and if McCann is there next season he'll have a team in the race.
 Pittsfeld has played great ball since Jack Zeller reorganized his hope less taiIender and he may finish sixth if he takes two from Bridgeport to- day. Springfield and Meriden couldn't get going and they bring up the rear

BOB FISCHER OFTEN
 CAUGHT AT COBB TRICKS

Bob Bescher Of Cincinnati, has an excellent head and can think with un- usual speed. The breaks made by Bescher are not 'fbones,'' though they have the same effect and general ap- Hpearance, but are due to his over weening confidence in his own youth full vigor. When he is nipped on an apparently idiotic play, it is almost all ways because he tried to do a Cobb stunt Cobb, crafty as a fox, gets by; Bescher, heavier and less graceful, though as fast, looks like a boob if they catch him. Only once this year has Bescher pulled one absolutely ter rib1e bone, and that was when, after making a tremendous hit at Phi1adel- phia, he let Doolan and Knabe tell him the hall was caught. He got off
 second, walked to the bench and was put out as he reached for g dtpper Of water. That was frightful beyond excuse-and yet Joe Tinker, never ac- cused of ''boning,'' let himself get trap ped on the most moth-eaten play of all this season. Running to second, a fly was sent up, and Joe let the in helders tell him it was a grounder!

DAN HUTCHINSON
 COACHES WESLEYAN

The athletic council at Wesleyan has engaged Daniel Hutchinson, the former University of Pennsylvania football star. to coach the eleven this fall. He will take the place of the former Brown back, John High, who last year turned out the best team Wesleyan has had in a decade and one which defeated Brown and scored on Yale.
 Hutchinson aided Andrew Smith, the Pennsylvania coach, last fall, and was also understudy to George Brooke, the Swarthmore coach. Hutchinson is expected to arrive on Andrus field this week. He will be aided in getting the men into shape for the opening game with Yale, the last of this month, by pr. Edgar L.. Fauver, the athletic director at Wes- 1eyan. DP. F'auver, in his college days, was himself a good football player.

LARRY DOYLE STARTED
 CAREER AS COAL MINER

Larry Doyle of the Giants who has just celebrated the twenty seventh an- niversary of his birth by taking a wife, is a native of CaseyviIle, H., which town, it is reported, was named after the iI1ustrious Casey at the bat
 Doyle made up his mind that if ever he got to the plate under the same conditions as those prevailing when the unfortunate Casey struck out, there would be a different story to tell. In very truth Larry has done well in the pinches.
 Doyle in his early youth was coal digger, the same as the somewhat celebrated Mordecai Brown and Ad Walsh.
 Doyle worked hard digging the dusky diamonds but every time he got up to daylight he played baseball He played so well that when he was 19 he was signed by Paducah of the Kitty League, and later went to Springfield. It was in 1907 that the Giants bought his release for $4,50O, and he now rides in his own automo- bile.

 EXPLAINS FORFEIT

Below is given the first verbatim copy of the official report of Umpire 'fBfl1'' Brennan to President Thomas J. Lynch, of the National league, de- lending the arbiter's action of forfeit ing to the Giants the game played in Philadelphia on the afternoon of Sat urday, August 30. Lynch reversed the umpire's decision and awarded the game to the Phil1ies by to6, the score stood, with one out in the ninth:
 I forfeited to-day's game in New York in the ninth inning. Following is the case:
 Part of the centre field bleachers had been roped off and police sta toned in them in order that batters could sec After the first man to, bat for New York had been put out the people broke through the rope and all started to wave papers and coats, and it was impossible for me to see a ball that was pitched.
 called time and asked Captain Doolan, of Philadelphia, if he woudn't t get the people back, as I could not see a ball He told me he couldn't and wouldn't try. I then went and asked the police captain in charge if he wouldn't have the officers put them back. He said that he would not take any orders from me, and that Man ager Dooin had sent word to him to let the people stay there. I then told Captain Doolan to tell the officer, which he refused to do.
 warned MT. Doolan if he would not I would forfeit the game, as I couldn't see ball that was pitched. He again refused and then forfeited the game to New York.
 No one asked me to stop this game I did it on my own accord because I couldn't see. was not hasty and took ten minutes before I forfeited.

ED WALSH RETURNS
 TO HOME IN MERIDEN
CMerfden JournaI.l

Big Ed Walsh, the Chicago White Sox pitcher, arrived home this noon for a two days visit with his family in Hanover. Walsh is on a scouting trip through the east for Con1iskey and found time to stop off in Meriden for short time to see the home folks.
 My arm is as good as ever," said Walsh to Journal reporter, thanks to Bonesetter Reese and I expect to be as strong in the box when I get working again as l ever was. I don t expect to pitch in championship game for some time, however"
 Walsh will probably rejoin the White Sox when they come east on their final swing around the circuit, September 9.

 It was then reported that Drew would enter Dartmouth, but Harry Hillnan, the Dartn outh coach, denied that Drew was through with the Springfield High school, and had ac- cepted a railroad position at Spring field.

 Overall and Leif1e1d, former big 1eaguers, are doing some good pitch ing for San Francisco on the Coast league.
 The Boston Nationals will show at Newfe1d park tomorrow and the fans will probably turn out in force to see the last game of the season. Snyder or Gervais will work against the big Ieaguers. With such stars as Maran- vile, Sweeney and Briscoe Lord in the lineup, the fans are sure to see some fast playing. The game will start at 3 p. n1-
 Pittsfield and Springfield are hav- ing a hot battle for sixth place. They split even in a double bill yesterday but if the Electrics beat Bridgeport twice today while Springfield tackles Hartford, Zeller's men will beat out the Pones.
 Booth Hopper, the New Haven pitcher who was sold to the St. Louis Nationals, went to Meriden yesterday and married Miss Mabel Stafford of that town. He joins St. Louis at Pittsburgh tomorrow.
 Cawley, a former Holy Cross base ball captain, has been appointed plny- sical director of the New Haven High school.
 Manager Cross was greatly pleased at the work of General Sherman in Thursdays game. He says the young pitcher used good judgment in keep ing the ball high and for. that reason the Meriden boys didn't do much hit ting.

(By Wagner.)


 President O'Rourke of the Eastern association and President Murnane of the New England league have been appointed a, committee to take charge of the post season series between Hartford and Lowell, winners in their respective leagues. They will meet next week to arrange details. The scene of the first game will be decided by the toss of a coin. President O'Rourke favors having two game in each city at the start. He thinks three contests in succession would hurt the attendance.
 Jack Teller certainly struck it rich in Pittsfie1d. In a letter to President O'Rourke, zeller says his club played to over 6o,000 people in the 65 home games this season. He lost some money because his grandstand was not large enough to take care of the fans but he is satisfied. He is very apt to lose a. player in the draft and that will mean another $1,2OO for zeI1er. It is reported that Zel1er will clean up about $10,000 this season. And some of the league magnates opposed the admission of Pittsfield.
 Jim C1arkin who talked about Sun day ball all season has agreed to play a double header in Waterbury tomor- row.
 The check for $1.ooo which Owner Clarkin promised the Hartford play CTS if they won the pennant, will be presented during the first game of the post season series with Lowell.
 Pittsfield had the satisfaction of taking the series with Springfield. Ze1lers men won 12 from the Ponies while the latter captured eight.
 
 John G. Anderson, a Boston school teacher, may be the next national amateur golf champion or the crown may remain on the head of Jerome D. Travers, where already it has rested for three years. This alternative was the result of a weeks elimination play at the Garden City club which today reached the final round.
