Outfielder Joe Burns Of the Portland
team of the New England League was
somewhat surprised when he opened
his contract some weeks ago and found
that he had suffered cut in salary
He was also further surprised when he
found that he had been cut IS per
month, or $1.25 a week. The amount
would tend to show that it was Hugh
Duffy's intention to slice his salary
lust enough to say that 1t was cut. He
could not have cut 1t much less.
Manager Bill Donovan has picked out
an entirely new layout of uniforms for
his Yankees. and the New York scribes,
after inspecting the new apparel, unite
in saving he has batted 1000 in the
fashion league. Take this slant at the
design Of the road uniform: "On u back
ground of Confederate gray there are
blue, cardinal and green stripes. with
caps of the same material, with blue
visors. The stockings are of dark blue
with white cross bars. The blouses
have military collars, and are form-fit-
ting at the waist. The pants are Of
cavalry cut. reinforced; belts Of new
design. The monogram on the blouses
is in two coiors."

So as not to clash with the fourth

Saturday. the Foot Ball Association
had to break its rule forbidding cup
ties to be replayed during the week
but refused to allow any specta-
tors to see the game; consequently the
tie was played in silence save for the
noise of a large crowd which gathered
outside the gates of the ground and
waited anXiously ninety minutes for
the verdict. Such an incident has
never been known before in soccer foot
ball.
The victory entitled Bradford city to

The affair was entirely informal, so

Joined heartily with the or estra on
the chorus OF "Tipperary and with
the ITALIAN quartet on the chorus of
Back 70 Michigan" Applause dur
ing the evening was hearty, particu-
larly for the quartet. which rendered
several classic and popular numbers
including the quartet from "Rigol-
leto."
Although the time was late when
Read was introduced ne held his au-
dience well for more than an hour
with his homely bits of philosophy
given with the pleasing address Of a
typical southern orator. He won the
hearts OF his audience from the first
by stating that ne did not make it a
habit 10 compliment his audiences and
that he would not at that time give
any compliments to the ladies pres
ent for, said he. II don't throw bou-
quets into a garden OF roses"
He gave expression TO his philosO-
ply through the recital of an imagin-
airy visit of one of his characters, q
southern farmer, 10 the city where he
beheld all OF the evils of the day.
Among other things this character,
"Old Man Jucklin," learned that the
negroes in the cotton fields of the
south are happier and are better
treated than are the white workers in
the sweat shops of the city. He also
learned that many men could make a
living satisfactory to themselves by
working for drink and by trading
tears for clothes at the missions where
the women do the work"
Edward J. Ward. a professor at
the University Of Wisconsin and
known as the father of the social CEN
ter movement, gave a lengthy and de-
tailed description of the manner in
which he had discovered and had de-
velOped the social center idea. The
idea had first come to him he said
when he learned. in a visit 70 an in

OF crazy people is that they cannot
work together.
