AID WOLGAsT MUST HAVE
 VERY BRITTLE BONES
(Bv q. s. Andrews.l

Ad Wolgast, the little Michigan bearcat and former lightweight cham pion. is certainly a hard luck fighter. Three times Ad has had his arm bro ken in matches, which leads to the supposftion that he either swings very wild at times or his bones must be brittle. He was just rounding into form again after having: made 8 poor fight with Joe Mandot in Milwaukee a month or two ago, due to his lack of condition. and now he is out of it for two or three months at least
 The trouble may be that Ad has not permitted the bones to become thor ough1y knitted before taking violent exercise. The fans will regret the ac- cident to him for he has been one of the most pleasing performers ever seen in ring. Like Battling Nelson, he never stalled and gave the fans 8 run for their money. It is hoped that Ad will fined the break less ser iors than at first reported and that he may get back into the ring before the robins come around again

PRINCETON
 CHEERS TEAM
 FOR YALE CAME

Princeton. N. J.. Nov. 1s-Fifteen hundred Princeton undergraduates cheered the Tiger team at a mass meeting in Alexander Hall last night. It was the most enthusiastic gather ing in Princeton since je Harts championship eleven eeted their victory in 1911, Head Coach Penaeld and Hart spoke and both promised that the team would go on the field Saturday prepared for a superhuman effort against the Ellis.
 The defeat by Harvard has not shaken the confidencs of Princeton's s undergraduates in their eleven. and the general feeling is that Yale is in for the hveliest kind of a time on Sat- urday.
 All the regulars were in their places, even Click. has been on the side lines this week. goIag to his regular place at half back He work ed out there for the greater part of the time, but toward the end he was sent in at quarter back in place of Araes The coaches realize that they must have a second string quarter on whom they can depend in case of in jury to Ames. and Click, seems to be the probable choice.

IS MURPHY HOLDING UP
 SALE OF CUBS?

Chicago, Nov.S 13-Charles Webb Murphy may have been busted out of the National league, but he still con tinues in the role as the Worlds Champion trouble-4naker. Just as peace. between the Federals and or ganized baseball seemed a certainty, Chubby Charles stepped in and queered everything.
 Murphy was not blamed officially for blocking the peace moves. Never fheIess he is accused of being the cul- prit The hitch came over Wegh- mans firm stand to play the Cubs at Side, which move would not suit AIur- phy at alI as he is still interested to a great extent in the Cubs, especially in their west Side park.
 It turns out that Murphy was never actually out of the Cubs, as he holds 52 per cent. of the stock as collateral for. a portion Of unpaid purchase price. Murphy desires $450, GOO for his 52 per cent. of the stock
 sfAFurphy's dema ands will not hold up the sale,'' said aWeghrnan last night, Aand the cash will be Forthcoming when the other details are arranged- The negotiations. which were rapidly approaching a closing point, will not be resumed on November 2s.''
 The conference was attended by Hermann, Weghman and George Ward, one of the owners of the Brook 1yn Federal league club. The presence of George Ward in the conference af- ter his brother left for the East, made it appear as though the Tip Tops must also be looked after when the big showdown comes.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
SOME FIERCE BATTLE
BY Special Barbed Wire Fence from
the Field of Battle, WiImette, ILL.,
Editor Day Book:-For IL hours the
fiercest battle has been raging on
the north boundary line of Wilmette,
Blood is running knee deep down
Central avenue to the lake. Every
man, woman and child is armed.
Sleep is impossible The result is in
doubt, with the chances that the Chi
cago Tribune army, with old Doc Ev-
ans in command, will eXterminate the
entire male and female population of
Wilmette. This, of course, includes
the mosquitoes, who form by far the
major portion of Wilmette's popula-
ton. This could mean the wholesale
murder of at least twenty million, two
thousand men, women and mos
quitoes. Twenty-four hours ago Viii
mette was the most peaceful suburb
in the universe. Sleep and rest were
its sole assets. For years we had
been slowly acquiring fame-owing
to our control of the entire mosquito
output of Cook county. The indus
try provided our sole occupation.
Practically all the mosquitoes in
Cook county reside in Wilmette. VIII
mette is proud of it, with pride of
long standing. Then the Chicago
Tribune got jealous and Matched
plot to start mosquito clubs to GUST
the mosquitoes from all these north
shore towns.
Winnetka has now fallen before the
onrush of The Tribune's wrecking
crews.
The Tribune stole a march on us
and caught US asleep. We do nothing

Bathing Beaches.-There is en-
tirely too much regulation of per-
sonal rights in Chicago. Separating
husbands and wives at public bath
ing beaches because some rowdies
appear there and bother women is
regulation run mad. Instead of sep
arating husbands and wives, officers
of the law ought to be tickled to see
them together. And having a good
time.
If men bother women at the bath
ing beaches, why not do something to
regulate the men who make the
trouble, instead of Furnishing alike
the innocent and guilty.
Let the cops go in swimming, too;
and police the water as well as the
land. 1t won't take them long to find
out the offenders and give them ride
in a patrol wagon to some Judge who
will teach them thing or two.

ONE MANS OPINIONS
BY N. D. COCHRAN

BYN. D. COCHRAN
Owens and Kenna.-Judge Owens
declares war on Michael Kenna be-
cause the Sullivan crowd threw the
judge off the so-called harmony slate;
and says he is going to get the First
Ward alderman.
But why blame it all on Kenna?
If Roger had said the word, no
doubt Owens would have been left, on
the Sullivan slate. Besides, Kenna is
supposed to be Harrison man.
Why doesn't the judge get after
Sullivan and wipe him off the map?
Or does Kenna serve the purpose
of being good mark to shoot at in
a campaign?
Anyhow, the gentle Michael must
be a powerful influence in politics if
he can tell Roger who to put on his
slate.
But would Owens have given Ken
ma credit for it if Roger had left the
judge on that Sullivan slate?
And what will happen to Harrison
if Owens drives all of Kenna's friends
into the Sullivan camp?
Is Andy Lawrence still determined
to have the First Ward all to himself?

TECH HIGH TEAM
To PLAY GREENSBURG
Hardest Scholastic Game of the
Year Is Anticipated; Dance
For Harrisburgers

In company with Percy c. Grubb,
athletic director, Coach D. Forrest
Dunkle, and dozen rooters, Tech
high schools football team left for
Greensburg at 2.45 o'clock this after
noon. The game tomorrow is con-
sidered one of the hardest on Techs
schedule. Greensburg high thinks
Tech their toughest proposition on
this seasons schedule.
Greensburg high school promise
royal entertainment for the Tech
team and rooters. After the game a
dance will be given in honor of the
Harrisburg team. This dance has been
announced as the first big event of the
kind in social circles in Greensburg
this season. Referring to the game
tomorrow the Greensburg Tribune of
yesterday says
Saturday afternoon the warriors of
Greensburg high school will meet their
first hard opponents when they go up
against the Harrisburg Technical
high school at the new athletic park.
This team comes to Greensburg al
most unknown except that they have
an enviable reputation and have de-
feated some of the best teams in the
eastern part of the State. Their most
recent victory was that of last Satur-
day when they defeated the strong
team representing the Steelton high
school.
The team which comes to Green's
burg Saturday is almost a veteran ag-
gregation. They last year played the
Central high school of Harrisburg to
10 haa
Johnstown team by almost the same
score as did the warriors of Green's
burg high school. This is almost the
only line that can be gathered on the
team that will play here on Satur-
day.

Congress Breaks Record
For Length of Session
Special to The Telegraph

Washington, oct. 23.-Congress has
broken all records for continuous ses-
sions at this second session. The Fif-
tieth Congress held the former rec
ord, it's first session lasting from De-
cember 5, 1887, until October 20, 1888,
or 321 days
The second session of the present
Congress has extended 1926 days, with
out counting the session which ended
at noon on December /, 1913. Count
ing this in, the difference between the
two sessions being purely "construc-
tive" as it was called in the time of
Roosevelt, makes the real length of
the sessions sos days
There were introduced at this ses-
sion in the Senate 6,641 bills, 472 sim
pie resolutions, 196 joint resolutions
and thirty-three concurrent resolu-
tions, and in the House 19,307 bills,
372 resolutions, fifty concurrent reso-
lutions and 64S simple resolutions.
Five thousand nominations were
sent to the Senate by President Will
son for confirmation. nearly all of
which were approved. Fewer than
ten were rejected. Very few go over
until next session. Twenty-siX treaties
with foreign nations were ratified by
the Senate.

New York Dopester
Hands Up Sensation

.Sbfcial TO The TeIeerabh

New York, Oct. 2S. = When the
Athletics take the field next year, it
is reported, Connie Mack will not be
on the bench directing the attack of
the former worlds champions. The
veteran, it is said, has obtained con-
troll of the Athletic clubs stock, and
will soon be elected president instead
of Benjamin f. Shibe. Mack is said
to own 81 per cent. of the stock, hav-
ing recently secured 1 per cent. from
A. j. Reach, so the story goes The
tall manager is 54 years old and is
beginning to show the wear and tear
of his long career as a team leader.
He has made a fortune out of the
national game and can well afford to
take a rest.
AS president of the Athletics, Mack
will still have a grip on the helm, but
Harry Davis, it is reported. will be
the actual manager on the bench, with
Ira Thomas as his right hand adviser.
Davis was a failure as manager OF
the Cleveland Maps several years ago,
but it is true that his heart wasn't in
his work
