daughter, Miss Mary Abigail Trohoski,
n high school graduate, twenty years
of age and a finished musician.
In that one night Cupid accomplished
for the roamer what "a No. l" had
been trying to do for himself for a
quarter of a century.
Love was stronger than wanderlust,
and they were engaged. The announce
ment caused CONSERVATION among the
ladies of Erie. They whispered about
the outrage Of pretty Miss Trohoski
throwing herself away on a hobo.
Some Of her friends came to her with
tears in their voices and pleaded with
her to reconsider 1t. All In vain. Miss
Trohoski replied that hers was not the
common variety OF hobo. She was
right. He Is the most remarkable
roamer In trampdom.
"A No. 1's' history is too well known
to require any detailed comment. He
ran away from home when he was
eleven years of age and became n yegg.
man kid. A yeggman tramp doesn't
beg; he robs; he would blackjack q
man for a meal. He always has a kid
to travel with him, for the child can
stand outside while he is cracking a
safe and give him the signal when a
copper approaches. Besides, the kid,
with the appeal that his tender years
makes. can get food for both by beg
| ging for Ii. while a regular old tramp
| would be more likely to get Jail.
The yeggman that this hobo travelled
with thirty years ago called him "a
No. |" kid. The boy got his "monicker"
from this; tramps never have real
names. They are called "Alkali Ike"
| or BOX Car Bennie'' or the like. Ask
"A No. l" his real name, and he viii
reply, "Sh-sh-just a No. l."
He has a picture of himself and Jack
London taken during their companion
ship on the road In 1894. "a No. l"
also possesses autographed cards from
Thomas A. Edison, Luther Burbank and
William III. Taft. Another card has this
| terse note: Il know "A No. l. to be
o. X. Theodore Roosevelt"
"A No. /" has prevented twenty rail-
| road wrecks In as many years. He has
letters from three different railroad
! presidents thanking him for his saving
of property and life.
"a No. /" won a $1,000 wager once
by ''d~eadbeating" his way from New
York to San Francisco in eleven days
and six hours. With $3.50 of this he
bought a tomb at Cambridge Springs.

LOCAL BOYS WIN IN
FIELD DAY GAMES
William Walsh, of St. Patrick's
Parish, Captures Point Prize
in St. Peters Meet.

In the annual field day of st.
Peters College and High School held
yesterday at the International League
grounds, Jersey City, several Newark
boys performed creditably. Walter
p. Muncey, of the freshman college
section, took second place in both the
running broad and high jumps against
a strong field of competitors. In the
junior division of the prep, William
Walsh formerly of st. Patrick
Parochial School, this city, garnered
the greatest number of points, there
by winning the high point prize; whiln
Paul ]. Mulcahy. also a cathedral
lad, finished a close second to Walsh.
Paul Murdoch, also of Newark, proved
strong factor in the class relay of
this division.
In the senior prep class, Francis A
Sullivan, of the Woodside section.
handily annexed first place in The 100
and 220-yard dashes and the running
broad jump. Jack Curtis and Phil
Walsh. of Newark, also participated,
but were unplaced owing to poor
starts.

PRINCETON, Oct. General i'm
provement was the keynote of the
varsity play yesterday In scoring
three touchdowns on the scrubs the
first team showed an attack that was
generally better and more versatile
than at any time in the past. Under
the instructions of Howard Dillon,
'07, and Sandy McGregor, II, the
line charged lower and harder and
exhibited better ability to size up
the plays.
Boland, who seemed sure of a
place on the varsity two weeks ago, is
being given run for his position at
fullback by Law. The latter has
gradually improved his game and is
rounding into the form that won him
his place on the varsity in the Yale
and Harvard games last year. He is
showing that in addition to being a
good kicker he can handle the for
ward pass with ease and accuracy.
The problem as to who to pick as the
first string ends grows bigger each
day. Brown and Shea, who have
had the preference so far, were given
d rest today and Highley and Lam
berton were in their positions. The
form that the last two men displayed
should make the former pair uncom-
Portable.

NAVY ABANDONS
GAME WITH ARMY

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 9.-Oficial
announcement was made yesterday
at the Naval Academy that negotia-
tons between the Representatives Of
the athletic bodies of the Naval
Academy and Military Academy in
regard to the playing of the annual
football game would not proceed, as
there is no hope of an agreement.
There is no doubt that an agree
ment would have been reached to
pay this year in Philadelphia, but
the secretaries of war and navy in
sisted upon a ten-year agreement, to
which the navy could not agree.
A formal statement was issued by
the executive committee of the Navy
Athletic Association, which had
charge of the negotiations, giving the
result of their efforts.

Railway Strikes Tartar.

Railway High Schools football
eleven met with unexpected resist
ance yesterday afternoon playing the
Battin High School team of Eliza
beth at Railway. The Battin team,
looked upon as easy prey by the Rah-
way followers, threw a scare into the
big Railway team, and accomplished
a feat of scoring two touchdowns in
the first three periods. The score of
the game, which was finally won by
Railway, was 20 to IL. The game
yesterday will probably spoil what
ever chance Railway had for state
championship honors. Brooks made
a sensational run of thirty-five yards
and scored a touchdown in the third
quarter. Armstrong and Schweitzer
also played great football. Mark
thaler, Donahue and Houston were
Battin's big ground gamers.

Both the Barringer and East Or
ange High School teams of the New
Jersey InterscholaStic Athletic ASso-
citation have two hard games on the
football calender tomorrow. East
Orange will play the Cullum Hall
eleven, at West Point, while Bar
ringer Is expected to have its hands
full with Lawrenceville, at Lawrence
Vile. Both of these games will go
a long ways towards testing the
strength Of the teams.
Two years ago the East Orange
team got away with victory at
West Point, but it was In the days
of Don Walton, 'Dolp' Smith, Gard
ner Creole and other well-known
gridiron warriors who have since
been graduated. The East Orange
team is fit and ready for battle.
Larry Roper Is about the only ath-
lete who is on the injured list, he
having sustained sprained ankle in
practice a few days ago. The in
jury was slight, however, and it is
believed he will play in part of the
game.
Barringer High Schools eleven will
leave early tomorrow morning for
Lawrenceville. The team had stiff
workout yesterday afternoon and will
finish training for the big game with
light workout today at Branch
Brook Park. Coach Broadhead has
been sending his charges at the
tackling dummy and apparently was
well satisfied with the results of yes
terday's practice. Tackling in the
games against Railway and East
Side High School teams was not up
to the Barringer standard and as a
result the Ridge street school in
structor has been spending a good
deal of his time instructing the can
didates in this important part of the
game. In yesterdays practice the
Barringer first eleven scored four
touchdowns in fifteen minutes of play
on the scrub eleven. About twenty
players will be taken on the trip to
Lawrenceville tomorrow.
