FEW BIG CONTESTS
YET TO Be: PLAYED
Yale Harvard, Cornell Penn,
Dartmouth Syracuse Are
of Real Importance.
BY n. C. BYRD.

Very few big foot ball games remain
to be played. Only two contests are
yet to be decided among the big uni
yersities Of the east, while there are
but two conflicts Of real Importance to
take place in the west. Several bafties
will be staged. though. in which the
great rivalry between the contending
institutions causes them to be the all
important contests as fas as the close
adhercnts of the different clevcns are
concerned.
The big contest of the year still re-
mains-YaIe VS.. Harvard. That prom
ises to be most brilliantly fought, and
is unique in that it is likely to be

In fact, it Is certain that no previous
Yale-Harvard contest ever produced as

1t looks very much as II the contest
will be a very even one. The DARK

Princeton: Harvard got twenty. But TO

unable to score against the later. lhat

not until the team had been weakened
that the Tigers crossed the goal line.
The Yale-Harvard contest should be
well worthy of championship con-

sons who will watch the battle are not
likely to feel disappointed after its I'm

will be thrills enough to satisfy the
most critical.
Two other contests in the east this

Every man that ever attended Lehigh

at hand to watch the teams represent

section realize the great rivalry be-

and 10000 persons attend the games.

restaurateur is expected to remove the
opposition of the Ward brothers OF
Brooklyn, as well as that of Chicago's 8
popular revolutionary leader. The
Wards, according to the statements OF
a prominent major league club owner
who has been in touch with August
Hermann, are likely to furnish
TO swing the transaction. In return
certain concessions will be granted
which will make the Washington Park
plant in Brooklyn available for organ
ised base ball operations.
BY backing Weeghman the Ward
brothers will of course be directly in

sented by the Cubs. In organized base
ball they may have further interest as
promoters of class AA ball at Wash

The American League believes that
an alienation of Weeghman from the
Federal cause would indirectly peneht
the National by restoring the oid-time
favor of the Cubs. But it has left the
matter suuarely up to the National
League. The hitch SO far In the nego-

transfer the Cub franchise from the
West Side to the North End. Strange

DESCRIBES METHOD
OF DROPPING BOMBS
FROM THE zfPPEL|NS

London, Aug. 27.-The method used
by Zeppelin airships in dropping bombs
has been described as follows by an
English refugee, who has just arrived
here from Belgium:
The dirigible hovers over its objective
at a sufficient altitude to keep it out
of range of the enemy's guns. At the
same time it lowers a steel cage at
tached to a steel wire rope 1000 or 5000
feet long. This cage is divided into
compartments and it carries one man.
whose duty it is to throw down the
bombs. The cage is sufficiently strong
to make rifle fire against it ineffective
and because of it's small size and the
fact that it is kept constantly in mo-
ton, it is difficult for heavy gun shells
to hit it.

1T is rumored that the French

WEAKNESS OF THE
LIABILITY Law
N lew Trial Granted in Case
of Alice Ennis Against
George A. Kerr-Verdict
Given Plaintiff.

Judge Carl A. Davis today sustained
in the case of Alice Ennis against
George A. Kerr, an action ror personal
injuries alleged to have been received
by the plaintiff while working in the
laundry of the defendant wherein she
received severe burns and other in
jurles to an arm and hand in a mangle.
The jury which heard the evidence
gave a verdict of $4,000 in favor Of the
plaintiff and the defendant moved the
court to set this verdict aside and grant
a new trial. Judge Davis, in his opin-
ion, declares that the unhappy result
OF this proceedings is a powerful argu-
nlent in favor of u new and effective
employers liability law.
The decision Is as followsi
This is an action wherein an en-
ploye seeks to recover damages for
injuries received while discharging the
duties Of her employment. In an earn

tiff. That decision was probably due,
ih a measure at least, to sympathetic
regard for the imperfections of human
beings and the welfare of the injured
anu helpless. Inc lQed IS IdplQly Q6-
Neloping that business conducted with

the suffering due to injuries received
in such industry. And 1t Is believed

Grafton of the necessities and obnga-

the unfortunate young woman who Is
! plaintiff herein should not alone bear
bill the burdens incident to her terrible

utory negligence and assumption of

exists does not authorize such con-
