La Montague Hero OF Day
as Reds Beat the Whites

Phipps was hardly pillar OF strength
as back against l.. Waterbury and his
brother, the forwards for the Whites.
La Montague was the hero OF the Gay.
and one of his goals was most remark
able one. After bringing the ball down
the field with successive hits, he tried
for the posts with lofted stroke. II
would have fallen short, and. realizing
this. La Montague rode at his pony's
best pace 20 overtake it. lie was up in
time and hit the ball while II was in the
air, a true hit with the head and not
the stick Of the mallet, and shot 1t
through for the count.
The one penalty of the game was
safety against Phipps in the seventh
period In the opinion OF the onlookers
the game indicated the elimination Of
Keene as a member OF the defending
team. while II strengthened the merits
of Stevenson as possible No. g.

Seated In the cab of a swaying loco
motive, his fingers clinging TO the open
throttle. King Baggot, at the peril OF
his life. recently drove a giant TocomO-
tive through nearly a mile OF solid fame.
This is a feat never before attempted,
in the performance of which Mr. BaggOt
displayed an astounding defiance of death.
For two days previous to the enacting
OF the affair Mr.. Baggot journeyed to
the selected spot on a small railroad
near South Amboy, n. J. There, with
the patient instruction Of one Jack Nc
Quire, he learned the various twists and
complications of the engine. his aptness
surprising the engineer. This was his
only preparation.
The scene came as the climax to the
three-reel drama The Millionaire En-
gineer" King Baggot, as the railroad
president, was supposed to drive an en-
gine through a raging forest fire to save
the lives of the inhabitants Of a small
village which had been cut of by the
flames. To produce the proper spectacle
five small houses had been erected. and
these were to be burned along with 4
number of shacks which were already at
the spot.

GARDNER PLEADS FOR
LARGER u. S. DEFENSE

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.
rine strength our navy stands fourth
amcng the worlds navies.
I'VE ought to have on an average about
five torpedoes to each torpedo tube in
our entire fleet. We shall have nominal
Iy pletty nearly that number when those
being constructed at present are finished.
Most of our tOrpedoes are of problemat-
Ical value in time of war, however. as
three-quarteTs of them are of the old
short-range kind. The scrap heap is the
place for a lot of them.
Airships Lacking.
eve ought to have a large fleet of
Rirships of Zeppelin and other types. In
stead We have not a single one.
I'VE ought to have a large fleet Of
Aeroplanes. Our aeroplanes are scarcely
numerous enough TO reckon.
I'VE have about $1,000 men in the navy:
To man only that part of our modest
feet which would be useful in time of
war would take 900 men. So Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt tells US,
and he adds that he has not taken into
consideration the men necessary to man
the ships now building. Yet you cannot
Improvise a man-of-war's man out of a
totally unframed civilian in a few
months, and there are only 5000 naval
militiamen in the whole country.
I'VE ought>to have coast defense guns
as powerful as the guns on the modern
Dreadnoughts of other nations, although
this necessity is disputed. Instead, we
have guns whose range is less by nile
than the naval guns which may oppose
them.
I'VE ought to have a mobile army of
at least 10000 militiamen, regulars and
reserves, ready TO take the field at once
after the outbreak of war; but we ought
to have 100000 men within a few weeks.
Instead, We must depend on IS, 900 regulars
and 10000 militiamen and no reserves.
I'VE ought to have plenty of movable
siege guns Instead, We have not one now
available which exceeds six inches in
diameter.
I'VE ought to have motor tractors
with our artillery. Instead, we have no
motor tractors with that arm Of the
service.
I'VE ought to have 1885 field guns for
an army of $4,000 men. Instead. we have
only S4S.
I'VE oug- 20 have plenty of artillery
ammunitiCn Instead. we do not know
how much Nc have, but we are told it is
running low.
I'VE ought to have an immediate in
vestigation Of our military situation by
an Independent commission. Instead, we
are going to be harrassed exceedingly be-
fore the authorities in Washington will
consent to any such plan"
