FORT DUPONT
ATHLETES SHOW
WELL in SPORT

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DELAWARE CITY, Del, Feb. 13.-
The close of the soccer season at Fort
DUPONT. last week. marked the end
of the athletic season for 1913, for
the Coast Defenses of the Delaware,
and incidentally, showed some very
good results among the various COM
panies.
The baseball championship was
won by the 139th Company, with
nearly a perfect record, and the 45th
Company was a close second. The
results of the field meets show that
the 112th Company led in these
events, with the 4th Company a close
second. Three gold watch fobs.
suitably engraved, for scoring the
/ highest number Of Individual points,
were awarded to- Corporal Marshall,
/ OF the ll2th Company; Private Haw-
kins OF the 4th Company, and Private
/ II. 10. Miller, Of the 18TH Company.
The tables Of the football league
show a record of seven games won
and lost for the 45th Company. Their
opponents scored about nine points
against them, while they scored near
/ ly 800 points. This is the team that
has wanted TO play Olympia, claim
ants Of the championship Of Della
ware, OF Wilmington, either at New
Castle, or at the fort, for the last
four years. A team supposed to rep
resent the 45th Company, but which
really contained only six of the their
players, was defeated by Olympia by
the score of 20 to o, on Thanksgiving
Day. The management Of the 45th
Company team has made several at
tempts to get Olympia TO play them
a game at the fort, with a big guar
antee, but Olympia's management
has never done anything definite
towards arranging for a game. The
ll2th Company also has played good
football, winning six and losing two
games
The results OF the revolver compe-
tition show several good records for
member Of the 18TH Company.
First Sergeant Neville. of the 18TH
Company, was the winner of the AS
calibre, pearl handle, automaticc pis-
tol that was awarded to the man with
the best record. His record was $50
out OF a possible 400. Nelson, of the
18th Company, made a record of
h-'f anu LIZA OA llt same company. n
record of 302. Not a member of the
other company teams scored as high
as 300. The 112th Company made a
record OF 1888, while their nearest
competitors, the 36th Company.
scored 2,115.
The result of the soccer league and
the winning of the grand trophy de-
pended on the last game, played last
week. This game was won by the
45th Company against the 112th Com
pany, and by winning this game. the
45th Company won the grand trophy.
with only a lead of eight points over
the l12th Company. This grand
trophy is a bronze tablet, suitably en-
graved. and remains IN the possess
sion Of the winning organization for
one year, when the merit winners take
possession OF the tablet
Captain Lewis s. Ryan, athletic Of
ficer, is busy preparing the athletic
program for the coming season. The
baseball league will be organized i'm
a short time.
It is likely that a team represent
ing the fort will be entered I'm
professional league, if there is
one formed of the teams in this sec
tion, which include New Castle. New
ark, Marshallton and several teams
from Wilmington.

IT MAYBE FOSTER
Secretary of State Under the
Harrison Administration
Is Being Considered as Delegate
to Mediation Conference.

Washington. May President Will
son found time, in the midst OF we'd
ding preliminary festivities. at the
White House today, to confer with
minutes. on the Mexican crisis. with
particular reference to mediation.
Secretary Bryan announced. after
the conference. that American dele
gates to advice with the South Ameri-
can mediators, had not yet been Sc
lected but that a representative or
surely would be desig-
mated and the selection soon would be
made. Whether there would be more
than one American delegate was still
undecided, the secretary said.
1t was reported in diplomatic circles
that John w. Foster, a former secre-
tary OF state, is being considered,
among others. to represent this coun-
leo in the late seventies. He is 20
years old. He is the father-In-law of
Robert Lansing, counselor of the state
department. He was long connected
with diplomatic service, representing
this country in Mexico, Spain and
Russia and in various treaty negotia-
tons. He is widely known as an au-
thority on international law and was
secretary of state during Benjamin
Harrlson's administration.
The arrival in Washington of Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, charge of the Ameri-
can embassy at Mexico City. during the
most turbulent part of the strained re-
latfOns with Huerta's government,
aroused considerable speculation as to
the returned ENJOYS future status but
nothing concerning the future was con-
sidered today.
Reports of continued aggression on
the part of constitutionalist forces to-
ward Mexico City reached the state
department during the day. News of
constitutionalist victories at Acaponeta
was confirmed in an official dispatch.
Conditions at Vera Cruz were reported
as quiet.

much of their time completing arrange
ments for the conference to begin at

DUKE OF ARGYLE.
John Macdonald Gives Real Facts of
Late Dukes Career.

1t is folly for a newspaper or any
common means of distribution of news
to attempt to quote, verify, depict or
promulgate any item Of the Scottish
ter with Topeka's own John MacDon-
aid. educator, philosopher. critic, hui
morist and editor of the Western
School Journal. Mr.. Macdonald will
glance hastily over the average news
paper headline with only the average
newspaper readers interest but when
a hidden story. concerning a native of
old Scotland escapes the notice of the
Scottish gentleman it is not the fault
of the educator.
The other day the Kansas City Jour-
nal on its front page ran a picture pur-
ported to be a reproduction of pho
tOgraph of the Duke of Argyle, SON.
in-law of the late Queen Victoria.
With the picture was a story concern
ing the. death of this Scottish states
man. The hurried reader undoubted-
ly accepted the item for what there
was in it. failed to shed a bitter tear
and turned over to the sporting page.
Not with John Macdonald.
1t is true that TOpeka's lover of old
Scotland isn't a member of the
Campbell clan, but he was acquainted
with the details of the honors and the
and he proceeded today to point out
that the erring newspaper not only,
ran a picture of the father of the man
who had died but followed out the
mistake by printing the life history of
the said father for the son.
The Kansas City newspaper said that
the Duke Of Argyle. famous British
statesman, author and scientist. died
Saturday night. John Macdonald
points out that this famous Scotchman
died in 1900. He was the eighth Duke
Of Argyle. his name was George John
Douglas Campbell He was the mar
quis of Lorne and had served in the
cabinets and was prominent in politics
from 1852 until advanced age necessi-
tated his retirement. AS an author he
won recognition as writer of the Reign
of Law and "Primeval Man" His
works on religion form a history of
theology and Church of England He
at ono time debated religion and
science with Huxley.
The above is what John Macdonald
says of the eighth Duke Of Argyle, the
distinguished man who died fourteen
years ago. The Kansas City paper
gave that description and those honors
to his son who died a few days ago.
In reality the duke who died Satur-
day was not a great man like his ia
He was the ninth Duke of Argyle. and
was born in 1916. He died at the age of
So. He was governor general of Can
ada from 1878 until 1883 and succeeded
to the dukedom upon the death Of his
famous father in 1900. He married
Louise, fourth daughter Of Queen VIC
tOria, in 1871.
And that isn't all that John MacDon-
aid found. He found that this newspa-
per spelled it Argyll" instead of "Ar-
gyle." Thrice mistaken was this Amer
lean depictOr of Scottish news!
