MARKET OPERATORS
WILL CLOSE OFFICES
WheIan, Duer, and Lanahan
Plan to CurtaiI Expenses of
Washington Branch.

In order to curtail expenses, Whelan,
Duer & Lanahan will close their broker
age offices in this city Saturday. The
local office, in the Woodward building,
is well known to Washington market
operators, as it has maintained a quota
ton board of the New York and Balti-

the branch was opened here by the Bal
timore house.
Whelan, Duer C Lanahan owns a seat
on the New York stock exchange,
through which it has executed its Balti-
more and Washington orders. This will
not be suspended, as il is understood
to be the purpose of the firm to continue
its Baltimore business, which is said to
be profitable.
While a good line of business has been
built up in this city. by the local man.
ager, William ]. Boothe, who has been
in charge of the Fifteenth street office
since 1t was opened, the office has not
proved self supporting, due principally
to the wave of dullness which has swept
over the entire business of buying and
selling stocks in the last year.
The many friends of Mr.. Boothe will
be glad to learn that there is a strong
probability he win remain in Washing
ton, TO represent a large New York
house. When seen today he would not
allow the use of the name of the house.

Of Steamboat Inspector

Eugene L. Dorsey. one of the ten in
spectors of the steamboat service, with
headquarters at Louisville, KY, has
been asked to resign for "pernicious
political activity" by Secretary of
Commerce Redfield. The request for
Dorseys resignation has been approved
BY President Wilson. The action was
based on a report made by Director Of
the Census Harris. l.. A. Fischer, chief
Of the Bureau of Standards, and A. l..
Thurman. solicitor of the Department
of Commerce, who found that Dorsey
had gained the name of Republican
boss of two Kentucky counties, and
was one of the big four" in the States

In explaining the action Secretary
Redfield said that politics would not
be allowed to enter the steamboat in
spection service. on which the safety Of
millions Of sea travellers depends.

Fer state Championship.

LawrencevilIe versus Peddie is the
principal game for Saturday on the
interscholastic schedule, and will de-
eide practically the State champion
ship. Neither team has lost a game
10 date. although Lawrenceville's
record overshadows Peddie's by
virtue of the S7-to-0 defeat handed
20 Tome Schoos last Saturday. The
best means of forecasting the result
of this Saturdays battle is to take
Into consideration the games of both
with Barringer High School. Two
weeks ago the Hickory School wal
loped the local boys 20 to O. while last
Saturday the Hig,htstown school came
here and did the same feat, with the
exception of an added point to their
total. The difference in the victories
of the two winners was that Law
renceyille recorded on the strength of
Shenk, the speedy halfback, who is
the sensation of the scholastic field
this season, while Peddie scored on
the average strength of it's back field
men. The Buff and Black back field,
If considered as individuals, would
doubtless suffer in comparison to
ShenK. but Barringer supporters who
witnessed Saturdays game at the
City Athletic Field cannot dispel the
VI inc way lhtll NNtil

at the very outset of the game, and
seooted over the line for a touch
down. Nor can they imagine anyone

bitter intercepting forward pass.
Xpeddie has considerable line a fact
fto be judged by the presence of Stan
ley Sutton, the X-Barringerite, who
was by no means the largest in the
Hightstown ranks. LawrenceVille is
given great preference as a result of
a showing made early in the season
against Princeton Freshmen, whom it
held to a 7-to-0 score. Since that
time Princeton prep has held the
Tiger Cubs to a 0-to-0 score on sew
eral occasions in practise, while Hill
School beat them Is to 9 last Satur-
day.

Miss Gladys Ravensoroft, of Eng
land, the American woman's golf
champion of three days standing. and
Miss Florence Harvey, of Canada,
tried out their game yesterday on the
course of the Country Club at Brook
line, Mass.
Playing in a four-ball match with
Miss Harriet S. Curtis, of Boston,
Miss Ravenscroft made the eighteen
holes in 81, using the medium dis
lance tees. Miss Harvey, who was
paired with Miss Margaret Curtis, had
card of SO. Miss Ravenscroft and
partner won, 3 up and l to play.
Twenty members of the Women's
Metropolitan Golf Association played
in a one-day tournament at the Sleepy
Hollow Country Club yesterday. Mrs.
H. Il. Stockton, of Plainfield, was the
winner of the low gross prize with
tie between Mrs. II. Blusnenthal
and Mrs. c. L. Greenhall. both Of
Fairview, for the low net prize. On
the play-off Mrs. Blumenthal won.
Friends of John j. McDermott,
popular profess onal at the Atlantic

back at Mortified yesterday, follow
ing his weeks successful go1fing trip.

Mayser Writes OF Success
of Franklin and Marshall

In a letter to a friend in this city,
Charles w. Mayser. the coach of the
Franklin and Marshall football
forces, reports himself as being well
pleased with the conditions at the
Lancaster college. The football team
which has been placed on the field
by the former Farrandite coach has
met with remarkable success for that
of q small college. The game with
Pennsylvania, which resulted in 10
to loss for Mayser's charges. is to
date the lone defeat on the schedule
of f. and NJ. The team at Lancaster
Is very light for college gridiron war
fare, but it has the asset of brains
to offset this handicap. Recalling
the chief qualification of the elevens
at Newark Academy gridiron knowl-
edge, which comedies with that of his
present squad, it may be seen that
Mayser is in class by himself when
it comes to instilling brainy football
into his material.
In the Pennsylvania game the Lam
caster team, outwitted throughout,
and when they could get started on
the wet field outplayed the heavier
Philadelphians. Even the Red and
Blue coaches admit that If the fiejs
had been dry Franklin and Marshar
would have speeded Pennsylvania 10
a defeat.

Boughton a Sensation.

Coach Anderson, of Central High
School, is making great predictions in
regard to the prowess Of Charles
Boughton, the S-Barringerite, that
he has under his wing, and who has
TO date led the fie3d in all Of the hill
and dale meets in which the Weiner
runners have engaged. In practise
the Central runner has made re-
markable time which, if repeated in
the coming competition, will make
the local lad the sensation Of the
schoolboy track world. On the Cen
trail indoor track, which approx
mates twenty-five laps to the mile,
the speedy Centralite tore off a mile
and a half in minutes and IS sec
onds This time. If authentic, places
Bougbton on par with any school
boy in the country. Boughtons SEN
sational speed has impressed An
derson to such a great extent that he
has entered him in the individual
running OF the interscholastic cross
country championships, which are to
take place on November 10, under tho
auspices of Cornell University, at
Ithaca, an honor unprecedented con-
sidering the fact that the Central
team. is to compete on the same day
in the scholastic run, under the di-
recti6h of Columbia University, at
South Field, at Manhattan. Before
coming to Central, Boughton ran with
Burke and Myer, at Barringer High
School, under the tutelege of Ander-
son. Despite his extreme youth,
Boughton forced the star of the
DARTMOUTH freshmen to extend him
self to the limit in order to retain

Barringer High School viii meet
stevens tomorrow afternoon, at the
City Athletic Field. in the annual
gridiron battle of the race for the New
Jersey Interscholastic League football
championship. Both Stevens and Bar
ringer have won lone victory to date.
Stevens defeated Central High School.
1G to IA. while Barringer won it's
opener from Phillipsburg, 16 to II.
Neither of these wins were of the
notable brand Nevertheless, great
things are expected In tomorrow $
game, as the Hobokenites are said to
have improved since the victory over
Central, in the latter half of which
game the Weiner lads pushed them all
around the lot. Chief Broadhead
stayed away from the meeting yester-
day at the City Hall, in order to put
the finishing touches on the offense
that he has tried to bring forth in the
work of his team during the week.
Hitherto. the policy of the Barringer-
ties mentor has been defensive work
only, but now, while not entirely sat
isfied with the work of his squad in
that department, he is striving to de-
velop the stuff that produces the
noints on his own side of the column.
To this end he has shifted Dempsey
and Silker to the backfield. Seller and
Hummell are showing up we'll as
backs. Seller is receiving the reward
of steady plugging on the second team
at the Ridge street institution. FOR
the past three years he has been
doorrnat for Talbot, Bovard and SINH
lar heavyweights TO practise against.
However, in proof of "All comes TO
him who waits and in view of the
dearth of baekfield material this year,
Broadhead placed the old second
stringer on the first eleven, where he
is making good. His work in the Ped
die game was on par with Andy
Dempsey's in backfield With the eX-
ception of the fatal muff of the first
kick in the Hightstown contest,
Dempsey's game was first-class. He
and Seller plunged through the line
for extensive gains. while the Barrin-
ger captains kicks were or quallty

Fall to select Course.

Contrary to the announcement to
that effect, the East orange cross
country course has not been named
as the route of the annual New Jer-
sey interscholastic hill and dale
championship race. At the first meet
ing of the n. J. l. l.. the chair named
a committee to select the course for
the race, which is to take place on
Saturday, November % At a special
meeting of the appointed committee
the Stevens delegate failed to put in
an appearance. and in consequence
the sanctioning of an official course
was laid over until a later date
Montclair High School favored at that
time the East Orange course, not be-
cause of it's superiority as a course,
but on account of its proximity to
the mountain town, Barriuger and
Stevens favor the Branch Brook
course, which is being used by the
Barringer and Central barriers as a
home course. Little Joe" D'Angola,
the coach of the Barringer runners,
is strong in his advocacy of the local
route. He asserts, firstly. that the
park running surface is the best in
the country; secondly, the route is
simple and can be followed easily by
the barriers without fear of becoming
misdirected, such as was the Blue and
Whites misfortune at the High
School of Commerce run last week,
and thirdly, that the spectators are
in a position to view the entire cruel
from q commanding knoll in front of
the school. Other cross-country run
ners who have engaged in the Amer
lean and Eastern scholastic cross
country championships at both Phila-
delphia and Princeton maintain that
the Branch Brook Park course is bet
ter than either of the championship
paths
