"Untz' Brewer, the former Western
High player, ought to be star in
every branch of sport at ST Adams
School this year. He was the best foot
ball player at Western, being really
the only running halfback of ability,
and his qualities as a runner and base
ball player are well known to follow

season promises to be, and failed to
make good, while his brother. Skip"
Wymard, star tackle in 1909, 1910
and 1911 on the Hilltop, is coach. That
these men will strive to defeat the
school with which they were formerly
connected seems reasonable, it being
always the desire of the former player
to take a team back to defeat his
alma mater, strange as that may seem.
But, not rejecting upon Wymard's abil-
ity as coach at all. it is not probable
that he is as able to rush team into
condition as quickly as Exendine of
Georgetown. owing to much less ex-
perience than the Indian.

LARGEST VESSEL
 IS NOW IS PORT

Many persons crossing the Congress street bridge have observed what ap- peared to be the hulk of an enormous sailing vessel tied to the Frank Miller lumber yard docks. Investigation proves that she is a, newly built barge belonging to the Hilton Dodge Lumber Company of Savannah. Georgia, and the largest which ever entered the port of Bridgeport.
 At the Miller Lumber Company to- day it was said that she is one of a. fleet of eight sister barges which will be placed in commission by the Dodge people and brought to this city 375, 900 square feet of various sized timber for the Miller Company who have arrang- ed that two of the boats shall con ,stantly be in service between Savannah and this port.

Washington, May 13The United States will be represented at the Niagara Falls lCanadal mediation conference by supreme Court Justice Lamar and former Solicitor General Frederick w. Lehman of St Louis. This government will have only two in spite of the fact that Huerta has named three. The confer ence is to begin on May at the Cliff ton hotel, on the Canadian side of the falls The United States and the de facto government of Mexico will be the only parties to the mediation con- ference besides the mediators them selves the Constftutionalists having refused to consider the mediation of their differences with the de facto gov ernment.
