AMERICAN NURSES
 TO SERVE AT TOQUAY

London, Sept. 26.-ArrangeIne for the disposition of the contingent as- signed to England Of the American Red Cross surgeons and nurses who arrived yesterday on the hospital ship Red Cross were begun this morning when Major Robert U. Patterson Medical Corps, U. $. A., conferred with Sir Arthur May, chief surgeon of the Royal Navy. Major Patterson will have a conference tonight with Lady Paget. director of the American We mems s hospital.
 While the disposition of the units has not yet been decided upon, it is probable that the American surgeons and nurses will be assigned either to the American Women's hospital at Torquay or to the English hospital ship bringing the wounded from the Continent to the English hospitals The TorQuay hospital was organized by Am merican women, including Mrs. Lewis Harcourt formerly Miss Ethel Burns of New York, and Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen, daughter of Secretary Bryan. These women are enthusiastic over the possibility of having Ameri- can surgeons and nurses connected with the hospital.
 Assignment to Torquay would also be pIeasanter for the American con- tingent than the constant crossing and recrossing of the rough Channel The surgeons and nurses, however, have urged that their own comfort be not considered.
 Two units of the contingent arriving on the Red Cross have been assigned to England. These two u1fits will be in charge of pr. Howard N. Bea1 of Worcester, Mass, and Dr. Robert w. Hinds of Buffalo, IN. '.

MIKE DONOVAN, 67 SUNDAY, TO BECOME
 AN EMERITUS

Prof. Mike Donovan, former mid d1e-weight champion and for thirty years or so the boxing instructor at Iha New York Athletic Club, is going to become an emeritus. The 'fprofes- sor,'' who is we'll entitled to be called sathe grand old man of boxing, will be sixty-seven years young to-mor- row, and the wealthy club which has so long had the benefit Of his services proposes to celebrate the occasion by conferring the title of 'sbox1ng in structor emeritus on Mike, and re- tiring him on pension. Not that anybody thinks he will stay retired, for in agility and appearance the professor is still a. youngster, and able to more than hold his OWL Moreover, he has a son, "FY oung Mike whom he hopes to develop into a champion. There is a rumor, denied by Prof. Donovan, that he intends to sail for Europe and take a. hand in the unp1easantness over there. He is not without experience as soldier, for as a lad he fought through the civil war in the northern army. He agrees entirely with Shermans characterize ton of war.
 Some sissy folks denounce boxing as brutal said the Professor, sfbut though I fought in the bare-knuckle days, and often took part in battles that went a hundred rounds or so, they were mere picnics compared with the experiences I had as a soldier
 It was nearly half a century ago that Donovan engaged in his first ring tussle, which went nearly a hundred rounds, in St. Louis Forty years ago, in 1874, he won the middleweigtt title from George Rool<e, and defend ed it against all corners until 1882, when he retired undefeated. He re- turned to the ring when he was we'll past forty to fight Mike Dempsey, then the middIeweight champion. This bout was pulled off in Brooklyn, and it was approaching midnight when the men entered the ring, the fight having been postponed in order that a, bunch of actors, headed by Nat Goodwin, might get over from Man haitian after the shows. Everybody expected the old man to fall an easy victim, but everybody was wrong. It was a beautiful exhibition of boxing, with the professor" on the aggres- sive. Mike got first blood, and he stood right up to Dempsey over the whole route, and looked. fresh as a daisy when the affair was over. The referee called it draw, but any shade there was favored the ex-cham- pion.

WHY CRAWFORD AND
 JONES DIDN'T SPEAK

Chicago. Sept. 26.-Back in the days when the White Sox were led by Fielder Jones and were fighting the Detroit Tigers bitterly there was no love lost between the teams. One afternoon in a game on the South Side Jones raced back to the fence and by Ieaping high into the air and spear ing a ball with one hand robbed Crawford of a home run. The next time Crawford went to the bat he caught one on the handle and Jones, racing in, grabbed what looked like a sure Texas Ieaguer off his shoetops.
 As the men passed each other on their way to and from the field Jones sneered:: ''It's a cinch to play for you. You always hit 'e1n in the same place" After that the two men did not speak to each other again for a couple of years.

SAYS GERARD COULD
 BE GERMAN SENATOR

New York, Sept. 26-'Ambassador Gerard could be elected Senator from Germany and from England, too, for that matter if he was running over Deiches, well known Tammany polfti- elan, who returned from Europe yes terday by way of Boston.
 MT Deiches saw Ambassador Gerard early in July and again in September The first time, he said, MT. Gerard lent him his automobile, took him to 1un- cheon, talked everything from music to politics and offered him the freedom of the embassy.
 f@The second time I saw him he was so engrossed with the care of stranded Americans that he could give me only a few minutes said MT. Deiches. "He was receiving Americans at the rate of thirty an hour and was treating everybody with exactly the same cour- tesy. Mrs Gerard was assisting him.
 T had read that he was in the race for United States Senator, but hs wouldn't even talk ~hout that. He said he hoped to win, but that he was not making any campaign and that he had no report as to what was being done in his behalf He said he would accept the nomination only with the distinct understanding that he would remain at his post until his work was completed
 'fI found that the Germans were full of respect and admiration for the Unit ed States representative in Berlin. The German papers reflect this sentiment It is said throughout Germany that tf1es Kaiser IS much impressed with President Wilson and MT Gerard
 MT. Deiches said that Ambassador Gerard Is now acquirfner a knowledge and understanding of the present sit uation in Europe which would be in valuable to the United States Sen ate.

BRIDGEPORT BANKS
 NOT BOARDING CASH


 Bridgeport banks are not hoarding cash according to Secretary McAdoo of the Treasury Continuing his cam paign against the high rate of interest and the hoarding of money by banks. Secretary McAdoo has made public list of 250 national banks in all sec tfons of the country, outside reserve and central reserve which are carrying reserves in excess of the local re- qufrements. The list Is based on re- ports to the comptroller of the cur rency. Secretary McAdoo declares that if the largest amount of loanabie funds as indicated by his figures was invested in commercial or agricultural paper, or loaned on proper security the present situation would be greatly relieved. The Connecticut banks on the list are:
 National Exchange, Hartford; 33 per cent; Mfddletown National, 26 per cent; Naugatuck National, 35 per cent; Second National, New Haven, 36 per cent; New London City Ma tfonal, 25 per cent; Thames National Norwich, 30 per cent; First National Putnam, 29 per cent; Stamford Na- tionaI, 3s per cent.

.'OLD MAN GRUMP'S'' COLUMN

stance: Devore, Gowdy and Rudolph are three men whom Muggsy McGraw said would never make good on a ma 5or league ball team. The last two mentioned are at present shining lights on the baseball horizon while Josh Devore stepped up as g. pinch hitter against the Giants on Labor Day morning and came across with a double and later scampered across the plate with the winning run.
 Smith at third base is to-day rated as one of the best third basemen in the game and Moran while being an inc and outer is one of the most re1i- able men in a pinch to-day. Both of these are cast-offs of WiIbert Rob inson's Superbas. The greatest sur prise of all is the work of Schmidt at first base. Connecticut League fans no doubt remember Schmidt when he was twirling for Holyoke in this league. He was not fast enough for Holyoke as pitcher and now he bobs up as major league first base man. Whitted and Gather were let out by. Miller. Higgins in mid season his only excuse being that they couldn't hit a barn. e
 Hans wagner,s goose is cooked. The Flying Dutchnan'' has practically given up the game. This is the first year that the Dutchman has batted under BOO since he entered the major iAOo60SS.4 4OO may nave nOC1C0Q In0 fact. that Fred Clarke has been using 1 McAuley at short for the last week or two. This no doubt means that he is being developed Sto succeed the veteran. Hans has been playing the dizzy corner in the meanwhile, which is the nearest position on the team, with the exception of catcher, to the bench Fans all over the country will be sorry to note that the Dutchman like all others has got to go and it will be a good many moons before Clarke gets 8 man who can fill the shoes of the departing star
 The main gossip about town nowo- days is can the Braves beat the Ath- letics in the Worlds Series Odds | are at present 6 to 4 on the Mack
 men down in Gotham. The New
 York fans hate to see the boys that I trounced the Giants come out victor iousIy in their encounter with the AtF1-
 letics- Be that as 1t may the fans
 in Connecticut are roofing, and yes
 some are betting, that the Braves will ] be the next worlds champions.

MAJOR LEAGUE DOlNGS.

In 1908 the Cubs won the National League pennant with the compara- lively low percentage of .613. The Braves may get up that high, but it looks as if their would be the lowest percentage since 1900, when Brook lyn won with .6O3.
 According to the custom in vogue Matty is charged with Thursdays de- feat, taking to the mound when the game was a, tie, but it's rather farci- one inning, that the last one. and on whom but one run is scored, to be charged with a defeat.
 Ray Collins performed the unique feat of winning two games in one af-. ternoon.> Joe McGinnity used to take delight in turning the same unique trick almost weekly.
 Again the Emery bail. It was 11s- ed by Jimmy Lavender of the Cubs in Wednesdays game in Philadelphia Ter saw the sphere was taking qieer shoots, copped it, stuck it into. his pocket and ordered Jimmy not to, use it again. Lavender was willing to obey orders but Tommy Leach ob- jected and contended that there was 41daS4b I1l0 IQ10S s1OTD1QO1u8 L. E142- Ter took 1t upon himself to forbid it's further use and stuck the ball in his pocket The sphere arrived at head quarters yesterday, showing the marks of the emery, and orders at once went out to National League arbiters to this effect: If after a warning a, pitcher again uses the emery ball he shall be put out of the game.
 Jimmy employed the device with a. new method He had a piece of ern- cry cloth attached to his belt, rubbing the leather against it. By way of coincidence, it was in Philadelphia, that the use of the emeryfzed orb was first detected in the American League Smoky Joe Wood was the first indi- v1dual to be detected using it against the Athletics. Then Ray Heating sprang 1t in New York Ban J JoI1nson was notified and ordered it cut out.

have had gas in Riverdale for the last
six years, and only the parties not at

willing to purchase fixtures or stoves.
as the gas was brought from the street
into the houses free of charge 1t is a
good rich gas, with good pressure. and
while the rate Is higher than the Wash

know of no one who would go to the
