PENN. AND YALE MAY MEET ON
 THE GRIDIR0N

Talk of a resumption of football relations between Pennsylvania and Yale in the near future, possibly next year, was revived by the presence yesterday on Franklin Field of Man ager George w. Darlington and Cap tain s'AIec' Wilson of the Blue elevens says the Philadelphia Press.
 !. With Cupid" Black, the New Ha- ven lineman, they sat in the Pennsy1- yania sidelines and showed that their sympathies lay with the Red and Blue.
 It is understood that Darlington came to Philadelphia primarily to see the Pennsylvania team in action and to consider with the Pennsylvania football authorities the prospects for a game between the two institutions.
 Manager Darlington said after the game that he personally would like to see Yale and Pennsylvania play again! The chief thing to be consid- cred. from the Yale, standpoint, how ever, he said, was the feasibility of adding another hard game to it's schedule, when it must meet both Princeton and Harvard.
 Pennsylvania, men have for a long time been tirelessly endeavoring to the gridiron.
 Of recent years there has been apparent a growing desire on the part of both Yale and Pennsylvania under graduates and alumni to have the two universities; resume footba1 relations.
 There is a general agreement that a game would be "a, drawing card and would be of benefit to the athletic as- sociations of both. Such a meeting would constitute not only an interest ing infersectional battle, but would bring together the originators of the two chief systems of football, upon which hundreds of schools and col leges of the country have based their systems.

 A Harvard graduate writing to the Alumni Bulletin attacks Summer
 Baseba1P' from a novel angle His
 letter is. in part, as follows:
 < The endless discussion of Sum
 mer baseball is rendered all the more
 tiresome because the real point at is-
 sue is usually missed It is not a
 matter of social distinctions, as some
 newspapers intimate; nor is it even
 question of tearing down the fence between the amateu1 and protest onal paddocks. The\ real danger is. that if summer basebalI or any form of it should be~alIowed, it would soon be considered desirable. Under the pressure of intercollegiate competition members of the baseball squad would soon come to feel an implied obliga- ton to- devote their summers to the game in order to insure victorious 1 teams. This situation would be a | scandal in itself, and the cause of end less dissatisfaction"

TWO |9 INNING CONTESTS
 IN THE BIC LEAGUES IN 1915
Racing Season in England Satisfactory Other l Comments Sport Events. N

New York Nov. 27-Specia1 com piIations covering the baseball season play in the National, American and Federal leagues disclose a number of interesting features in connection with the struggle for the pennants of the respective organizations. Two. mo- hit games were pitched in the Ma tional; none in the American and four in the Federal League. The record Of one-hit games shows that nine oc- cured in the National. twelve in the American and six in the Federal league Two-hit contests were more frequent the American league lead ing with twenty-sfx; the National se- cond with twenty-five and the Fed erals third with seventeen.
 Two nineteen inning games were the longest contests of the season, one being played in the National League and the other in the American. A sixteen inning struggle was the feature match in this respect in the Federal organization. The National League all so led in the heavy hitting depart ment of the game, two twenty-four hit contests being Recorded. The Fed erals were next With one twenty two hit game and the American third with two twenty-one hit games.
 >5AlI three organiza tions boast one game in. which the total runs reached the tWenty-seven mark.

EATING WHAT YOU WANT

Not to be limited in his diet but to eat whatever he pleases without discomfort is the dream of every dyspeptic.
 Nobody can honestly promise to re- store any stomach to this happy condi- tion because all people cannot eat the same things with equally satisfactory re- suits. It is literally true that "what is one mans food is another mans poi. son" But it is possible to select pleas ing diet from articles of food that cause no discomfort and it is possible to tone up the digestive organs
 When the stomach lacks tone there is no quicker way to restore it than to build up the blood. Good digestion without rich, red blood is impossible and Dr., Williams Pink Pills offer the best way to build up the blood. They also have . direct action on the nerves and as the nerves control the processes of digestion, these pills are especially good in stomach trouble attended with thin blood and in nervous dyspepsia.
 You can begin this treatment at once because your own druggist sells Dr. Will liams' Pink Pills. Perhaps you are not eating the right foods Sometimes the very things that people eat "for their health are the things that hurt them. A postal card request to the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y. will bring free diet book. Write for it today.

SAN MARINO MAY ENTER WAR. Little Republic Debating Whether or
 Not It Shall Join With Italy.

Rome, June 2.-The little republic of San Marine, twenty-two square miles in area, although entirely sur rounded by Italian territory, forms an absolutely independent state. A seri- ous discussion is now going on in this republic as to whether it shall re- main neutral.
 The question is more important than appears at first sight. San Marine, standing on a high mountain a few miles from Rimini, dominates the Adriatic. If it continues neutral. Austrian aeroplanes could, in time of need, take refuge there, repair. take on new supplies and return home. This would not be possible if San Marine joined with Italy in the war.
