Why should there be in country
like the United States. hundreds
and thousands Of strong, healthy
men destitute and forced every WIN
ter to appeal to charity'for support?
For fifty years the United States
has had no wars. The country is
boundless in resources. Millions Of
acres of rich land is to be had al
most for the asking. No burden
some taxation laid. no hindrances
but every encouragement possible
gwen every man in the unfettered
and protected right to pursue his
vocation. Millions expended yearly
for free schools Every facility
possible put within the reach Of eve
ry man alike. And yet, there has
not been a year for fiftv years that
breadlnes old not exist in the cities
and restitution in the country, CALL
ing for help. 1t has been the case
under every administration. There
is an explanation. Its due to Grim
ina extravaganza and laziness
There are only few comparatively
who are "lu>ky" miIlionaires and
rich men. The rank and file of
American citizens are working men.

GRIDIR0N ELEVENS
 OPEN SEASON TODAY
Big Four'' Have Games That Will Test Their Strength

New Haven, Sept. 25.-Today there football armor, a general beginning of the competitive season. The schedule part of the gridiron season really be- gins today. Many college elevens start that important part of their can, ,aign, The Army, the Navy, Cornell and sew eral big western universities don't play until next week, but enough teams will be in action, for the first time this fall, to give the season it's formal launching.
 Such big guns as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Penn, Dartmouth and Brown are down for the first test of their 1915 material. The Hneups of all of these will be tentative, for there is much experimenting with and sift- ing Of timber to be done before the ultimate makeup of elevens will be in sight.
 The Harvard squad in spite of the loss from last season of men of super ability, contains material for a power- ful eleven, first line eleven Tt arly rate, on individual ability and expert ence alone. It doesn't appear to have anything on in the first two weeks of it's schedule to give trouble. Colby is to go against the potentially formid- able Crimson outfit today. The Uni versity of Maine eleven plays at Yale, and Maine of late has been turning out lively and speedy teams. Frank Hinkey has shuffled his varsity men and newer talent around so much in the preliminary practice that the Blues opening battle is of added in terest because of doubt as to who will be the varsity selections for the get away contest.
 The Georgetown players come up from Washington to meet the Tigers at Princeton. It is figured that the Tigers can win with a few points to spare, but the Georgetown team isn't one to be beaten by a reputation. The chief item of interest regarding this first competitive appearance of a Mas sau team coached by Rush. There fore, Princetonians will watch de- velopments more eagerly than or dinarily.
 West Virginia is Penn's first oppo- nent, and the latter's alumni hope for a start which will augur better sea- son than last years, although there's a whole lot that first games don't tell. Besides Dartmouth and Brown, the playing schedule will begin at such prominent centers of football industry as Williams, Amherst, Syracuse, La fayette, Lehigh, Penn State, Wash ington and Jefferson, Trinity and Union

FORD AND WILLIAMS DRAW.
New Haven Lads Put Up Best Bout
 in Elm City in Years.

New Haven, Sept. 25.-Bunny Ford and Harry Williams put up a great battle at the Arena last night for ten rounds and it was the windup of the best boxing show seen in this city for a good many years. All the boxers appeared, there were no unnecessary delays and the Irish-American Ath- letic club can pat itself on the back for succeeding where so many failed.
 The referee, Dave Fitzgerald. called the star bout draw and this was about all he could do. He certainly could not have given the bout to Ford, for Williams had much the bet ter of the last two rounds and in the tenth he had Ford groggy Ford did not appear to as good advantage as he did in his fight with Charley Bergen and he moved slower. Will Hams put up the best fight of his ca reer. Ford weighed 134 pounds and Williams 13S.

Reds Hit Smith Hard.

Cincinnati, Sept. 25.-Cincinnati hit Smith hard yesterday and Brook lyn went down to defeat to 5. Dell's wildness caused his removal in the second inning, and the locals had an easy time connecting with Smiths curves. Schneider was hit hard in the fifth inning, Brooklyn tieing the score, but George, who relieved Schneider, was a mystery to the visi- tors. He likewise contributed to the victory by scoring a run in the sixth inning and driving in a run with triple in the eighth. The score:
 r. h. e. Brooklyn ....... .oooo05oOo-5 5 3 Cincinnati ..14000101x-7 g. Batteries-Dell Smith and Miller; Schneider, George and Wingo.

HERALD TEAM AGAIN
 BOWLING WINNERS
Boys Prove Superiority Over Ea- tiOnal Biscuit Team on Alleys

The Herald bowling team once more demonstrated its claim to being one of the best bowling teams in the city when it met and defeated tfS' fast City league team representing the National Biscuit company at the Aetna alleys last evening. While the Church street boys came out on top of the heap, it was not accomplished easily, the stiffest kind of opposition being presented by their opponents who after being beaten in the first frame came back strong in the sec- ond and forced the Herald to take a severe drubbing.
 When the boys faced each other in the third and deciding game deter imitation was featured on each coun- tenance and each was determined to win. The manager of the Herald af- ter giving an exhibition of bowling that resembled cheese, rendered him- self a "tin shower" in favor of Billie O'Brien, and in this he showed himself to at least have some knowledge of the game, as far as managerial duties go. O'Brien was the star of the game getting three marks" in the string and his aceur- ate shooting had much to do with the victory. McEvoy and Edwards also shone in this game, the last named placing the game on ice by a spare in the eighth frame that spelled defeat for the biscuit make rs." McAllister after a bad start in the first game, came to life and rolled up to his usual high mark during the remainder of the game.
 Never before did a team want to capture game more than the oppo- nents last evening They took them selves very seriously and when defeat seemed to be the inevitable they ie- sorted to jibes and jeers at times which tended to disturb the even temperament of the Herald team. It may be said that as bowlers the de- feated team are comedians (not jokes as some will be prone to infer). Cheap small town comedy was the nature of their remarks, but it only tended, to have an exhilarating effect on the boys from the shop"
 Mcintyre was the high man of the evening when in the last game he spilled the beans" for a mark of 103.
 Glenn and Driscoll also rolled con- sistent games. The scores:

What should determine which is the fastest team in the city will be decided at the Pioneer diamond to- morrow afternoon at o'clock, when the Pioneers will cross bats with the Red Men, winners of the pennant in the Fraternal league.
 Supporters of both clubs have been at logger heads as to the respective abilities of their clubs, and the game will settle beyond doubt which club can rlghtfully claim the local cham lionship.
 Winkler or Johnson will be on the firing line for the Pioneers with Noonan catching. For the Red Men Oberg will probably be the selection with Wright catching.

 How It Works Out.
 So of the eleven world series games played, four were figured as even propositions before the first blow was struck.
 Of the other seven games, where there was pronounced advance eV1- dence in favor of one club, the favor ite, came through tidily on three occa- sions and was beaten four times.
 Which means that while the under dogs haven't been consistent winners, they have more than held their own having operated four upsets out of seven chances.
 Red Sox Favorites.
 Tn this newt series the Red Sox un- doubtedly will be slight favorites. They will be favorites because with toeir outfield combination on defense, plus their pitching, they look to have greater defensive strength. And be- cause they have a harder hitting club. But where this margin, club for club, might be strongly in Boston's favor, it will be pruned down by the superexcellence of one great pitcher
  Phillies will do so largely in the belief that Alexander can do in 1915 what Mathewson did in 1905-win three games; and that Demaree, Chalmers pr another Philly pitcher can attach the fourth. Or they are figuring that Rig Alec of the side-arm sweep will bag at least two games and that his rals will nail two more out Of thelr four or five starts, bolstered up by the slugging of Cravath and Luderus. They will be playing two or three men against an entire club in the know ledge that two or three stars before have been sufficient to spin dizzy upset in a short match of from 4 to ? games But they will have no chance to match the two clubs, man for man, on copy paper and prove the PhilIy Machine is the better balanced array.

There is no way of forecasting the outcome of this meeting. Travers was playing better than Ouimet both at Baltursol and at Detroit. But this has nothing to do with Merion next week. At their best they are too close to being even to be judged apart. And no living soul can say which of the two will be upon his game when the next test comes.
 Mclaughlin, you may remember, beat Johnston easily enough at San Fransico earlier in the summer But Johnston won at Forest Hills.

Both Phillies and Red Sox have proven themselves to be clubs Of more than average gameness under heavy pressure. But the Phillies here have this advantage: They have accom- plished what few thought they could accomplish, while the Red Sox merely carried out the early spring dope. And the psychological edge here be- jcngs to the club that has already taken one high hurdle with sufficient impetus to go out after another.
 Texas Leaguers.
 The Phillies have shown that Never change" doesn't belong ir the lexicon of a good, game guy.
 Connie Mack has added this to science: He has proved that heavy object can descend at a far faster rate than it can travel upward.

 Travers vs. Ouimet.
 The last big autumn golf match of the season may be the best. For in the Leslie Cub matches. at the Merton Cricket club, it is almost a certainty that Jerry Travers and Francis Ouimet will meet in another golf classis that should stand out as one of the all-star rounds of the year.
 Since Jerry beat Ouimet at Garden City, in 1913, the Open Champion has lost three matches to the Boston star -one at Brookline, one at Ekwanok and one at Baltusrol. This match should be interesting and bitterly fought for a number of reasons: both have been amateur champions: both have been open champions, and hoth have something left over from Detroit to wipe out. A victory for either would help clear up that De-
