Reinsurance of Policy
Holders to be Made

POlicy-holders of the Florida Life
Insurance Company are being noti-
fed that they are to be reinsured by
the lntersouthern Life Insurance
Company, of Louisville, Ky. The
notices are being sent out by State
Treasurer j. c. Luning, who ex-
plains in his notices that it was i'm
possible to convince the policy-hold-
ers that the affairs of the company
could be properly adjusted and that
thesanction of the court be arranged
fol the reinsurance of all policies
in the Kentucky company.
The Florida Life Insurance Com
pany will collect all premiums up
to September 80, and blank forms
of the agreement are being sent to
the policy-holders for their sigma
ture.
Reinsurance Notice
The following letter was sent to
the policy-holders by Mr.. Luning:
Jacksonville, Fla. Aug. 10, 1915.
Dear Sir:
By order of the court, the business
and assets of the Florida Life Insur-
ance Company were placed in my
custody on the 9th day of July, 1915.
After having control for a few
weeks, realized that. owing to the
character of the assets and the un-
certainty and doubt in the minds of
the policy holders as to the ulti-
mate outcome, great many of the
Policy holders were unwilling to
continue the premiums on their poll
cies This situation, to my mind
preluded the possibility of a sue
, cessful continuation of the business
by me, as l was unable to furnish
them any guarantees. Having be-
come convinced of this fact. al
once began negotiations with sew
eral life insurance companies with
view to reinsuring the policy hold
ers in some solvent company.
y am very much gratified to b'
able to announce to you that th1'

Probably the craziest exhibition of the
national pastime staged here this season
was on tap before a good crowd yester-
day when the Griffmen took Jennings

Tiger errors, and there were nine of
them. figured in almost every Washing
ton tally. the Griffmen being able to toss
In hits when needed. In only two innings
could Detroit keep Washington from
pushing over runs.
Coveleski was buried under a landslide
of hits and failed to survive more than
two innings. Bernie Boland, the next
Tiger slabman. worried along until the
seventh. when Boehler relieved him.
Both Boland and Boehler were hit hard.
Walter johnson was on the firing line
for the Nationals. and was soundly
thumped in the first inning when two
runs breezed across. Walter then tight
ed up, but with such commanding lead
as his pals slipped him, did not care to
extend himself.
Eliminate the Detroit errors and the
game would have been a close one. Eddie
Foster had regular celebration, coming
across with four safe blows out of five
times up.

LOCAL GRID SEASON

Baltimore Polytechnic and Maryland
Aggies Play at College Park.
Both Teams Ready.

The local football season will be ush-
cred in this afternoon when the Baltimore
Polytechnic Institute and Maryland 6gri-
cultural College mix things at College
Park.
Both teams have been working out for
the last week. and. while no definite
line-ups have been picked. a fairly good
line on the ability of the men has been
gotten by the respective coaches.
Dutch Mellon. Of Polytechic, has been
driving his men to the limit, and the Bal
timore players have been going at a fast
pace for the last few days at Garrison
Country Club.
AS far as the Aggies are concerned.
the team is showing very good early sea-
son form. as is shown by the work
against Georgetown last Wednesday,
when the College Park men held the
Washington team to two touchdowns in
an hour. while the Maryland eleven cross
ed the line once.

UNTZ BREWER REPORTS
TO ST. ALBAN'S SQUAD

Football stock at st. Alban was given
a considerable boost yesterday after
noon when Brooke ''Untz'' Brewer re-
ported to Coach Green for his initial
workout.
While 1t has been rumored for the
past few weeks that Brewer was to
sever his connection with the Tennally-
town institution in favor of Brown Prep.
of Philadelphia, it had never originated
from authentic sources. and the re-
appearance of the little speed marvel
will change the complexion of Coach
Green's squad to no small degree.
Brewer stated last night that he never
intended leaving st. Alban as this is
his last year. and he has been booking
forward to his final session with pleas
ant anticipation of a banner year in all
branches Of sport.
With eight veteran men back to serve
Ias a nucleus. Green is optimistic over
the outlook for a successful campaign
and II past performances of the Epis-
copalians can be taken as a criterion, 1t
lis very reasonable to predict that the
Purple and White will give a good ac-
count of itself.
Among the old men who are now work.
ing daily are Houser, Castle, o. Kelly
NJ Kelly. Brewer, Stubs. Murns, and
Trapier.

SPARTAN FOOTBALL
TEAM ORGANIZES

The Spartan football team again will
be in the field this year and present in
dications point to a most successful sea-
son. This club has been in the field
for the past three years and has always
had a good eleven. having won the ma
jority of their games. All Of last year S
men will be with the club this season
and the eleven probably will be made up
from them. although some new players
are expected out.
Capt Boyer, of 1914. is very anxious
to have his men out early to get In
shape for the first game, which is not
far off. He will have charge Of the
candidates until another leader is elected.
The initial practice Of this club will
be held Sunday morning at Sixth and
C streets southwest, and the following
men are requested to report: Strobe,
Wassmann. ". Turner. B. Turner, Frye.

In the event that neither becomes par
ticipant in the world series, was the sub
ject of negotiations in Boston on Thurs
day between the arrangements of these
teams. It is proposed that the Braves
field be used on the days when the Red
Sox are playing in Philadelphia. Should
the world series be decided in straight
games the proposed exhibition series viii

way.

When Ty Cobb swiped second base In
the sixth inning yesterday. he tackled up
his eighty-seventh steal of the season,
according to unofficial figures put out by
George Moreland. the statistician.
In an effort to make it eighty-eight
down to third base in this same inning.
but was turned back. Williams to Foster.
During the 1912 season Clyde Milan, of
the Nationals, set a new league record
for stolen bases with eighty-eight to his
credit, and this year Cobb will undoubt-
edly pass Milan's mark by wide margin.
in fact, he may do SO today.
One reason why the Tigers have been
UP in front all season is because Cobb has
been in every game. and has played prob
ably the best ball Of his career.
Detroit has an outside chance to beat
the Boston Red Sox. but it Is so remote
that even Manager Jennings has con-
ceeded the Beaneaters the flag in the
Ban johnson circuit.
There will be double-header staged at
National Park this afternoon, the first
game starting promptly at 1:45 O'Clock.
Gallia and Dumont or Harper will do
the pitching for the Nationals. while
Dauss and Dubuc or James will decorate
the mound for the visitors.
Many in the stands wondered why
Bobby Veach did not come to bat in the
seventh. as Cobb in the previous chapter
had died stealing for the final out.
AS a matter of fact Veach, who was
at bat when Cobb started for third base
had three balls on him and no strikes.
1t was after johnson had pitched the
fourth ball that Williams turned back

BRAVES AND DETROIT
MAY PLAY POST-SERIES

Boston. Mass, Sept. A--President
James E. Gaffney of the Boston National
League club. admitted last night that
plans had been discussed for a post
season series between the Braves and
Detroit Tigers. The scheme as outlined
is to have these probable runners-up of
the National and American Leagues en-
tertain the Boston populace at Braves
Field on the days that the Red Sox and
Phillies play in Philadelphia, provided. of
course, that the series is fought out by
the present leaders.
THE matter rests between Secretary
Hapgood, of the Braves, and Hughie
Jennings" said Mr.. Gaffney. Il know
they have discussed the matter. but no
definite action has been taken as yet. I
will be in Boston next week. At that
time the matter will be decided"
There is also talk of a three-cornered
post-season series for the championship
of New York among the Giants, Yankees
and Dodgers in case Brooklyn does not
win the National League pennant.
