ZOO IN MOURNING ! FOR S|AMESE 4PAT" Cheerful Monkey Has At tack of Acute Indigestion
 and Expires

The children of Birmingham. when they their elephant, and their numerous other animal friends will miss one of the most cheerful and mirth-provoking ones of the lot-"Pat." Pat is the Samese mon- key, who came to an untimely end yes- terday afternoon at 1:5o o'clock. The zoo is in mourning. for he was not only favorite with the kiddies but with the denizens of the zoo.
 Everything possible was done to save the cheerful little monkey by Keeper Dayton Allen. Dr. Charles Whelan. city physician. was called to the bedside. but the fates had decreed a higher life for the jestor of the jungle and he answered the call. Acute indigestion was the cause of his death
 In the midst of sadness it was de- eided to keep the memory of Pat green in the hearts of his acqraint l. ances. He was buried as the shades of twilight deepened into night A plain board marks the spot, immediate ly in front of the eagles cage. The board will be replaced later with a more substantial grave mark, on which will be an inscription giving the name of the monkey and the date of his death.
 The grave has been beautifully rounded and grass will be planted over it. Flowers will mark a border about it and throughout tho year Pats" last resting place will be Kept green, and all who visit the zoo wilt read and know that the children of Birmingham lost a friend--a friend because he made them laugh and made life more worth living

No "Gate" Charged
at First Harvard
and Yale Contest


Compared with the wonderful exhi-
bition of team play given by the Harv-
ard eleven of 1915 against Yale, the first
meeting of these two university squads
would appear almost laughable IL It
could be staged again today. That con-
test was played at New Haven on Sat
urday, November 49, 1876, on field
measuring 400 by 200 feet and was wit
messed by about 1850 spectators, which
included several hundred women. The
number of players on a team was OPP
tional with the captain, the rules simply
specifying that from eleven to fifteen
might be played. The game was divided
into three thirty-minute periods and the
only scoring permitted was goal fol-
lowing touchdown, kicked over the goal
bar suspended ten feet above the ground
from two uprights twenty feet apart.
Harvard won by four goals to nothing
half-hour and one In the remaining two
periods. The ball could be kicked or
carried; caught on the bound or fly and
the runner could be tackled and thrown
as at present. Harvard's cheering con-
tingent consisted of $50 students. who
made the trip from Cambridge to wit
ness the play.
No adm. ssIon was charged and the size
of the crowd and absence of gate re-
ceipts contrasts sharply with the fact
that very close 10 10000 persons paid
$40 900 to see the Harvard-Yale games
of 1914 and 1915.

NEW YORK. Dec 1.-THE Federal

facing dire ruin, II certainly Is putting n

ON the east by Fifth avenue and ,hs

to thu property Is a bridge ecross the
Harlem river, with a street car line that
brings those who live or work n the
Bronx into touch with the ball park. The
subway is within a stones throw and
the elevated only two crosstown blocks
distant. Furthermore, 1t Is thlckly
populated neighborhood, and with por-
ton OF the property available for other
uses than base ball all the revenue to
be derived will not depend solely upon
attendance at the games.
The purchase OF the property was a
deal involving s1,25O,OOO. This price does
not include the cost OF stand CONSTITUTE
ton etc, This estimate has not yet been
announced. but the total outlay will
easily represent an expenditure OF 81 10000

DAILY IS SHIPPED BACK HOME

Pete DAILY. the outfielder from whom
Athletics few years ago, has drifted
back to the Pacific coast and will play
with the Vernon club of the Pacific

Manager Mack never had much luck
with California players, writes William
G. Weart
Connie has brought several promising
looking outfielders from the coast only
to have every one of them fall down on

has been good to the Phillies. No state

Quakers' pay roll as California. Gavvy

Becker now make their homes in that

Harl Maggert next had a trial. Mag
CERT was a fast speedy player and he
could hit. He looked like an ideal man
for the job, but he would not listen TO
advice and he did not fit I'm well with
other members of the team and was let
out. Maggert was one of the few play
ers to put the ball over the right-field
wall at shibe park.
Pete DAILY, like Maggert. was fast and
fair hitter, but not up to the Mack
standard. He was sent to New York in
change for Jimmy Walsh.
The most success that Connie Mack
ever had with n California was with
Pitcher Harry Krause. Harry had a
wonderful winning streak one year. but

Wanted a valet.
One OF the reasons for Pete DAILY

club had an idea that they should be

Gus other luxuries.
