A According to announcemeTlt by the Washington Glee club football man aKement there is not much chance of 8 series between the Gaees and the Remington Yosts of this city Tenfa- tive dates had been agreed upon but there was a misunderstanding which resulted in the Ylosts claiming the Glees had .Juggled the dates. Man ager Keueher of the 4lees is quoted as saying that his players want to meet the Yosts but under no conditions viii they allow the locals to dictate terms.
 As an example sof the alleged dicta- tion they cite the fact that tl1a Glees came to this city two years in ssrc- cession. This ars7dnlent, however. falls flat when is recalIed that the Vests agreed to. play in New Haven lest year and were ready to do so until the Gdees called off the contest The Yosts are still willing to agree upon a. home and home ssrits if the Gaees will listen to reason
 There is wide difference Of opin- ion about the result Of the Harva.rd- Princeton footban game tomorrow at Cambridge. The more conservative critics say Hardard and the Tigers are Harvard should be a 8 to 1 fa.vorfte.
 The teams have made the same kind of records, both having been tied but neither beaten. The dfstin ction is that Harvard has been saved from de- feat by flashes Of rowerful team work while Princetonss safety has been due to individual brt1 t1lianee- The Grim son will have Eddie Mahan, Rennoek and it's other stars in the line 1lp for the first time since the opening Of the season.

 Smith is able to walk around, but only with the aid of his crutches. al- though his physician has assured him hat he will be able to discard them in couple Of weeks. As soon as the leg me11ds completely, Smith planh going down to Haddock, Ga. to en- joy a little hunting upon the planta- tion of Manager George T. StaIlings.
 Tn the course of a sidewalk cenver- satfon with a party of. frien dss regard ing the Worlds Series and his play ing with the Boston club, Red Smith Jokingly asserted that he should all ways hold Umpire. Bill Hart, we'll known to Atlanta fans through hav- ing pitched for several years with the Chattanooga and Little Rock clubs, as responsible for Smith not getting in- to the Worlds Series.
 sPfeffer was pitching for Brooklyn 2 said Smith, fin the game in which my leg was broken. The regulars wanted to loaf but staIlings would not have any of it. George argued that as Pfefer's delivery was the same as Bender's, he wanted us to take a crack at him by way of pol ishfng up for the chief.
 etBut this did not set well with most of us, and we tried to get chased out of the game. Johnny EzveFs, who, by the way, gets chased more on account Of his reputation than for anything else, got run out of the game in short order
 T tried to get chased, and said enough, too. but Bi1l Hart wouadn chase me. Had he chased ms in the seventh innning. when wanted him to. I'd never have got hurt in the ninth

Austria will be represented in the six-day race at Madison Square aGr- iden, New York, starting November 15. by R,udolphe Rudi-Russe. the long distance champion Of his country. tine first rider to reach America after the war broke out in Europe.
 Whether or not facing the horrors bike grind is a question in the minds of many who have witnessed previous races, but Rudi Russo says he would rather ride a thousand of these than face another day like the last he ex- perienced in Paris. five days after Ger many declared war.
 The experiences related by the Aus trian are interesting and remarkable because of the fact that he escaped with his life. Rudi- -Russe was train ing for a 10o-kf1ometer team race in Paris when the war broke out and he was warned by the French rider to leave for America immediately, but he took g. chance and stayed, figuring that hostilities would be ayerted.
 When he saw two German riders throWn into the Seine by an angry mob of Frenchmen he boarded the first train for Havre and came to New York. Rudi-Russe left his racing arriving here with only the clothes he had on, American riders have come to his rescue, however, and he will start in the race witf4a conpIete out it of wheels and other paraphernalia-

RITCHIE, MUST GET
 BUSY TO KEEP TITLE

willie Ritchfe's four-ronnd contest with Johnny Dundee in San Francis co must convince the ex-chanpion lightweight that he will have to get busy and train properly if he ever expects to win back the champion ship. Willie. according to the San F,rancisco papers, was overweight and secured only draw with the boy whom Scotty Monteith claims can whip any lightweight living. Dundee has been showing good form of late. but he got only a draw with Willie Beecfer. at Los Angeles in twenty rounds, which also makes the rous II New York boy look pretty good now that Ritchie secured only the same with Johnny. Ritchie ise pretty hus- ky lad to make the 183 pound mark and it is doubtful whether he will be able to make it again without weak ening himself thereby, although with proper care and steady training he might do it without serious results. In the future 1t is a good bet that Will lie will not go into a contest know ing that his condition is not perfect Many a boxer has been put out of the running for high honors by talk ing undue chances with his condition and holding opponets too cheapiy.

He is on important committees, and
exerts an influence which is potent
in securing results for his constitu-
ents. He is a man of attractive per-
sonality, backed by splendid ability
and force of character He is never
too busy to give courteous attention
TO any matter that is brought before
him.
One thing that should not be over
locked is that Congressman Ashbrook
Is an important member of the post
Office committee of the house and is in
position to render to Ashland very
great service in connection with the
Federal building project. While the
100000 for the Federal building has
been provided for in the appropriation
bill the money has not been actually
appropriated and so good a friend as
Congressman Ashbrook in behalf of
Ashland's interests is important.
That MIR. Ashbrook is prepared to be
of so very great service to the people
of this district and that a new man,
no matter how able, could not hope
20 have the same influence for long
time is a consideration that the people
of the seventeenth district should not
overlook. And they will not overlook
it either.
We believe that the nomination of
Congressman Ashbrook should be
unanimous and from the names Of the
thousands of voters in the district on
his petitions it is apparent that that
is the overwhelming sentiment
throughout the district.
