Yale Makes Bid
For Army-Navy Game

New Haven, Conn. Aug. 31.-Yale
is making an aggressive effort to Sc
cure the Army-Navy game for the
new bowl, which will be finished at
Yale Field in November The Yale
football officials urge the fact that the
structure will accommodate some
70. 900 people. about 2 10 600 more than
can be placed in other stands in this
country, and that the only possible
disadvantage to the selection of the
place is it's distance from Annapolis.
This it is believed. can be over
come by a modification of the existing
rule that prohibits the teams and
students of the Naval Academy from
remaining away from Annapolis over
night at the time of the annual game
with the Army. The War and Navy
Departments might secure a relax
alton of the rule or it could be over
come by congressional action, 1t is be-
lieved.
Yale has not urged the new bowl as
the place for the game because of the
slight uncertainty that has existed
over the completion of the structure
till recently.
1t is now sure that the sunken
stadium will be ready by November l 5
for the large crowd which, the fol-
lowing week will pack it for the Yale
Harvard game. The Army-Navy game
will be played the Saturday after the
Yale Harvard match and the Yale
bowl is regarded here as easily the
most desirable spot
The Army officials have given assur-
ances that it's choice would be salts
factory to them and Yale football au-
thorities are hopeful that the field may
be selected annually for the event.

Crucial 7 Test Games This Week;
Teutons Must Be Routed
Reading Plays at Allentown Today; Harrisburg Must Win
Eight Out of Ten Games; While Castles Crowd
Will Have to Win All Games

With a lead of three games at the
opening of the final week in the Tri-
State, Harrisburg has the best chance
to win the pennant. The flag is not
likely to be cinched, however, until
the series with Allentown on Wednes-
day and Thursday is ended and the
final result may not be known until
Labor Day.
Manager Johnny Castle has secured
n transfer of the games to-day and
tomorrow, and Reading will play at
Allentown. The Teutons cannot af-
ford to lose game with Reading.
Manager Hoffman denied the reports
that his team is giving up, and before
leaving Harrisburg last week, request
ed that a close watch be kept on the
final series between Reading and AL
lentown, saying that Reading would
take one game.
Cockill's crew meets Lancaster to-
day and tomorrow at Island Park.
Two victories are necessary. Should
Harrisburg and Allentown meet in the
first double-header on Wednesday,
with Harrisburg still leading by three
games, a loss of two games by the

Coaches Are Missing;
May Be in the War

New Haven, Conn, Aug. 31.-Yale
rowing officials await eagerly letter
from Coach Guy Nickalls relative to
his plans for the fall and, possibly, the
winter and spring. Nickalls signed an
agreement to catch at Yale the COM
ing year, his plans including return
ing to this country in October for the
fall coaching and coming across the
Atlantic again about February 1 to
remain till the close of the rowing
season in June.
Fear is felt that both he and his
brother, Vivian Nickalls, the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania coach, are in
volved in the war and may not be
available for at least the fall practice.
1t is believed that they will be
found among the English volunteer
troops and statement of their plans
Is expected soon.
In case Guy Nickalls does not re-
turn to Yale this fall It is likely that
the rowing committee will give charge
of the coaching to Eugene Giannini,
freshman coach last year.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-08-31

/ Teutons would put them out of the
race. The Ponies must romp home
with at least eight victories out of the
ten games to be played. This would
give Harrisburg rs games won and
80 lost. BY winning every game AL
lentown would have n won and SO
lost, giving Harrisburg a one-game
lead.
In addition to the farewell game
with Lancaster tomorrow, there will
be seven field events for which prizes
will be awarded. These prizes were
contributed for the Red Cross Day
benefit game, but on account of rain
on Friday and Saturday the field
sports were put over until Tuedsay
The special events will start at 2
o'clock and the game at 3.15. No
extra admission will be charged.
Harrisburg won two games from
Wilmington Saturday, both scores be-
ing to o. Adams was the big fac
tor in the first and John Fox pulled
out of a close battle in the second
miXup. Mccarthy was a big star on
Saturday and the Cockill crew came
off with two victories by fast fielding
and timely hitting. ...

of us who were in the House thought
1T doubtful whether Judge Davis
would resign his seat upon the SUI
preme Court. bench to accept cleo
ton as senator. We know that
Judge Davis was very thrifty man.
To resign a place upon the bench
involved loss of salary of $4,000 a
year and the acceptance of one Of
only $1,000. In addition to that, II
Judge Davis resigned from the Su-
preme bench he would lose the OPP
portunity to retire two years later
upon full pension of $4,000 a year.
II have heard a good many ex-
plantations Of the way in which Judge
Davis was suddenly elected to the
Senate, but never heard the explain
alton, which 1 believe is the correct
one. Instead OF Judge Davis, Judge
Bradley, Of New Jersey, became a
member of the electoral commission,
and 1t was his deciding vote which by
majority of one gave the presiden-
tial election to Governor Hayes.
Nobody has ever known whether
or not Judge Davis, had he been a
member Of the commission, would
have decided in favor of Tilden He
never permitted anyone to talk to
him upon the subject. No one was
eNei dDiS hilSt uc citeiSu tuc oSIi-
ate to get the slightest hint from
him of his opinion respecting the
findings of the electoral commission.
do not know that he read the re-
port of the proceedings before the
commission carefully, but he locked
the secret of his own view absolutely
within himself, and presume he will
keep that secret unrevealed through
out his life. and, Furthermore, that
after his death nothing will be found
among his papers that will indicate
whether had he been one of the cleo
toral commission he would have de-
cided in favor of Tilden or in favor
of Hayes. 1t will remain a perfectly
kept secret" -

ENGLAND,s NAVAL PART IN A WAR.


without her feet Great Britain, although claiming
an empire with about 400 900 600 subjects would be
ID minor figure in the great European drama. In
military operations land Great Britain take
only auxiliary part
She can throw small army into Holland or Bel
GUM to act conjunction with larger French forces
against Germany, or she troops for landing
in ports taken by the fleet But in the great move
ments on the military ehessboard of Europe only the
continental powers will engage
Captain Mahan's maxim that control of the sea is
everything in is accepted by military experts
1t was Englands naval power that made Leipsc and
Waterloo possible. Great Britain virtually COM
mands the sea- That is to say, she bring to bear
any time greater massed strength than any other
nation And she will have the French navy
powerful reinforcement.
But what with submarines and airshps 1t is pos
sible that warfare will be revolutionized by
general war it by Civil War. The battle
of the Monitor and Merrimae made the wooden navies
obsolete. 1t began the of the see-clad warship
and the super-dreadnought and this, too, may be
ended by the results of single battle in which sub
marines and airshps may engage batteships. If so,
the future naval outlook for England will be one of
the grayest concern. The super-dreadnoughts will
have follow the old wooden ne-of-batte ships to
the scrap heap.
