REPUBLICANS OF NOME
 INTENDED TO MEET

A telegram received by the Gate way yesterday from the Nome Mug get states that the Republicans of that division intend tC call meeting soon and that they want to have a candidate put forward for election to congress. The Rcpubii an committee will call meeting in Nome soon, the telegram says, but recent ha openings in the Republican ranks at Seward rather suggest that Nome's decision in the matter will be overridden by the opinion of the members and lead CTS of the party in other divisions.
 Mir. Heron, chairman of the Re publican territorial committee, went away without giving out any definite information regarding what das been done but enough is known to make it safe to say, perhaps, that the conser- Sus of opinion outside Nome is in fa- vor of letting the election slide this time.

BURNS WANTS HOCKINS
 TO BE RELEASED

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Detec- tive William J. Burns made a request to President Wilson yesterday for the pardon of Hooking who is serving time for dynamite outrages. It was suspected at the time that Hooking had aided him to capture the McNa- maras and the request for his pardon has strengthened this belief.
 Since the request of Burns became known several have voiced their ob- iections to such a manner of procA dure. They declare that it leaves too much power in the hands of a detec- tive if he can say how long man must serve or if he can handle spies by letting them stay in jail long enough to hide their cowardIy selling of their partners in crime and then have them set at liberty when he wishes.

 The result of the election will de- pend to large extent on the method, adopted by the Republicans who wiz be free to vote for whom they please. Most of the regular Republicans, if not all, are decidedly opposed to Mr. Wickersham, or apparently 50, ani the combination of their votes with the increase in Democratic strength ought to make the election interest ing, that is if they really dc decide to support the Democrat.
 Following is the telegram received this morning from Valdez:
 "Charles F.. Heron, chairman oi the Republican committee, announces after having obtained the opiriOns of several leading members of the party in different divisions, that it has been decided that the party will rot pre- sent a candidate for delegate at tn. coming election, nor will tn. c0nv"n-

The hrst was won at 6-1 but was just as closely fought as the second at 6 but Brock seemed to have just enough reserve to get the needed point
 w. s. Lacy defeated William Daven- port at ST. 4-6, 7-5. This was close fight also, Davenport having Lacy 40 and 5-1 in the first set from which place Lacy pulled up and took the first set at 9-7 The rest of the match after the middle of the second set was not so satisfactory as Davenport turn ed his ankle Some idea of the battle
 may be obtained from the fact that

YALE DRILLS SECRETLY FOR
 NOTRE DAME

Yale has reached the conclusion that it's game with Notre Dame next Sat urday will prove one of the most sig nifcant meetings of the season be- tween the East and the West and yes terday began scrimmage practice by driving the first and second elevens through two fifteen minute periods. Throughout the entire drill the gates were closed, indicating that Yale takes khe visit of the westerners seriously. The Yale game of this season rests on deceptive passes and something that has never seen the light of day will probably be sprung on the Indiana col legians.
 The scrubs held their own with the regulars, scoring twice to the same number of ta,1Iies for the varsity. The regulars took the ball from kickoff all the way to touchdown for their first score. The line smashing of Mel Sco- vile yielded the varsity it's ground time and again, and Scovil1e slid around right tackle for the touch down.
 The reappearance of Lyton Carter at end will give Yale another veteran in it's game with the westerners. Car ter has had a. lame knee. He played the entire scrimmage practice yester- dav afternoon Conroy and Walden, the former greshmen guards again replaced the regulars, OakeS and Jim Sheldon and Paul Betts held right tackle where he was tried yesterday

HARVARD DID. NOT BUILD TEAM
 AROUND BRICKIEY

Never has the necessity of building an all around football machine rather than a machine built around an indi- vidual been emphasized more than at Harvard this year. If Percy Haugh- ton, the head coach. had devoted the preliminary practice to perfecting a. machine to work with and support Charley Brickley, Harvard would now face one of the most serious con ditions in it's history. With Brick1ey out of the game for the season the machine would be utterly useless.
 But Haughton has been in football too long not to realize this. While Brickley was the principal cog last year and would have been the princi- pal one again, this season, Haughton nevertheless has protected Crimson in i terests against the very thing that has happened-injury to Brickley.
 That Brfckley will be missed there | is no gainsaying. It may even be the cause of the ultimate defeat of liar ward in it's big games. But, while Harvard may be defeated, it is safe l to predict the defeats will not assum e | the proportions of routs, which would l have been the case if the team had been so moulded as to depend entirely upon Brick1ey and his ability to kick i field goals.
 However, the showing of the team against the strong Washington and real test Harvard has had this sea- son, proved that there is a deal of I work ahead of the Crimson coaches if the team is to be made strong enough l to wade through this the hardest schedule ever arranged for it.
 With Brickley, Mahan and Logan, | the regular backfield, out of the game the team lacked it's punching power It won, but that was all. The 10 to g score shows how scant the margin of | victory was and how close Harvard came to being crumpled before the season is fairly under way. Mahan and Logan, of course, will be available and this means a great deal. Mahan is one of the greatest broken field run ners in the game and Logan is a star. Their presence will bolster the eleven, but the coaches cannot afford
 to be idle from now ont.

 E.rarvwhere except in Boston, the home of the sacred codhsh. baseball fans are flabbergasted at the ease with which the Braves cleaned up the Athletics for the worlds champion shin It was enough of a surprise to have thena win at all but to capture four straight! And incidentally that is a, new record for the worlds series.
 No team has ever before captured the title in four games. F1Ve games have som etimes finished the event but never four The nearest thing to the Boston record was the showing of the Chicago Cubs against Detroit in 1907. Tn that year the first game ended in a tie. 3 to 8, after 3 innings Then the Cubs went in and trounced the Tigers four straight
 Many reasons have been advanced for the Athletics poor work in the recent unpleasantness. Connie Mack before the series was plainly worried because of the Athletics batting slump They hadn't been hitting good pitching for two weeks before the close of the American league season. Whether they would have been able to touch the Boston Fingers, even if the Macknen had been in their usual form, is a question that will probably never be answered.
 The whole trouble was that the Braves were held too cheaply. It was figured that because they contained so many discarded players that the outfit must be a joke, But take a club with three star pitchers like Tyler, James and Rudolph and two star infieIders like Evers and Maran- vile and it ought to command respect l anywhere. Spurred on by the fiery personality of Manager Stallings, these players were led to believe that they could beat anybody And they could And they did.
