HOLYOKE WANTS FRANCHISE.
Business Men Indorse Plan to Put
 City on Baseball Map Again.

Holyoke, Mass, Oct. 1S.-Holyoke fans are insisting that the Paper city be represented in the Eastern league next year and that a move ment is on foot to secure a franchise. They argue that in years gone by, the city has supported team far better than some of the cities now in the Eastern circuit, and during the early years of it's existence in the old Connecticut league broke all rec- ords for attendance. This was the year that Dan ONeil, now president of the Eastern league, was manager, and also during Jesse Frisinger's s management.
 The closeness and rivalry of Hol- yoke and Springfield and other cities in this section would also be a big inducement for a team to locate in 1 the city. Holyoke fans say, for many dollars could be saved in travelling expenses alone. Games in all prob abilities, could be staged on the Hampden County fairgrounds, or the old Berkshire grounds could be brought up to requirements. The fans, realizing that good times are on hand, are desirous of seeing league 1 baseball once more and hope that when the winter rolls around Holyoke will have a place in the Eastern cir suit.
 Several men prominent in the bus iress and social life of the city when interviewed on the proposition last evening were very much in favor of such a move, and though they had not heard of such movement, thought that 1t would be a mighty good thing for the city.

I'IBBOTT'S KICK
 LONGEST OF SEASON
Boot Taat Beat Tufts May Be Seasons Record

Dave Tibbott's forty-six ward drop kick in the Princeton-Tuft game last aturday which was just enough for the Tigers to triumph over the con- Cuerors of Harvard, promises to stand ss one of the longest field goals in the 5016 gridiron season, if not the Irngest that will be recorded this
 fcu. Tibbotts boot was the only
 .core in the long battle, and it came s.fter several of his teammates had Cndeavored in vain to hang up a tally Cf s&ome sort over the MedfOrdites. >JTis kick was perfect in direction from sHch a distance, and although as it sailed through the air it seemed to o destined to fall short of the cross riece between the goal pc9ts it did not 1cgin to drop until it had cleared the
 ar by about two yards.
 The tabulation ard analysis of fnld goal records have been annual l,@<bies of the followers of the greater American college game. Last year I.t'e experts saw the drop kicl, Ing & ark which had stood since l89S, l-attered by Mark Payne of the Da- 7-ota Wesleyan eleven. who esta blished the new worlds record with a boot Of e yards.
 No one last season came within Ps1riking distance of the wonderful performance of J. T. Haxall in goals frJm placement It was back in 1882 i'7 the Princeton-Yale contest that JraxalI scored for the Tigers when 65 yards away from Ellis goal. In 1905 T. P. Davis of Dickinson scored a goal
 h. T-,i1- it1y
 r9 Pittsburgh from the 58-yard mark,
 F'lt last year the best records estab-
 liehed for the season were of AS yards,
 sn3up by J. G. Wilson of the Missouri
 school of Mines and Joseph Catlin and
 James Millikin. That the interschol-
 astic placement kicking last season was of a higher calibre than in the collegiate games was shown in the
 work of Orson w. Wilcox of the Mans
 field (Penn.) Normal school who
 made one of 55 yards length. s Previous to Payne's drop-kicking
 record, a mark of one yard shorter
 62x yards-had stood the test of time
 sirce 1898, when P. J. ODea of Wis
 consin booted that distance in a game against Northwestern. The next mark
 is of 55 yards, and is held jointly by
 J V. Cowlng of the 1883 Harvard eleven and J. E. Duffy, a Michigan played, in 1891.
 Drop kicking last year was not only logger, but more frequent Charles H~McGuckin of Villanova holds two of the 1915 records. He had nine l goals from the field by drop kicks for the season, and also tied with Howard | Miller of Columbia and w. T. Vande- l graaf of Alabama with four goals each from the most made in any one Intercollegiate game.

New Haven, Oct. 1S.-Yale blue, which has for several seasons been a chronic undergraduate disposition as well as a university color at New Ha- ven, has taken a rose tint this fall. Even the meager reports that have dribbled past the college censors have reflected more hopeful spirit for the 1916 football season.

 It is now seven years since an Eli football team won from Harvard, and only once in six seasons has a Yale team scored against the crimson.
 Since Charley Brickley first became a factor in university football at liar ward Yale has hardly dared to even hope for anything at the hands of the Cambridge. The crushing 41-0 defeat of last year filled the bitter cup.
 The change eff one is really to occur in the situation as to football rests en- tirely on one man-Harry Legore, last year ineligible because he ate a

 To return: This year Yale occupies the position that Harvard for four years has held-namely, plenty of good material with team play built around one man, a star
 Harvard has no Brickley and no Mahan this year unless he has been under cover. Yale, on the other hand, has Harry Legore, who is known quantity.
 He is believed to be the greatest all around individual player in the east today because of his versatility He can run, kick and play defense better than any man Yale has had since Ted Coy.

His Eminence, Cardinal Jerome
Mary Gotti, Prefect Of the Congrega-

on Sunday, March 10, following a long
illness, aggravated some time ago by
a fall in his Office which caused a
slight concession of the brain.
Cardinal Gotti was born in Genoa
on March 20, 1884, and had almost
reached his eighty-fourth year at the
time of his death. He joined the
Carmelite Order and occupied many
positions of prominence in it prior to
his elevation to membership in the
Sacred College of Cardinals at the
Consistory of November 20, 1895, dur
ing the pontificate of Pope Leo XIII.
For many years he occupied the posi-.

B., WAS PROFESSOR AT ST.
JOHNS UNIVERSITY, COLLEGE
VILE, MIMI, SINCE 1969-FU-
NERAL FROM THE ABBEY
CHURCH LAST WEDNESDAY.
(Communicated.)

Extensive preparations for a grand
feast-day celebration were brought to
an abrupt close at st. Johns Univer-
sity, Collegeville, Mimi, last Saturday.
For weeks busy hands and minds had
been engaged in providing an appro-
pirate program for the celebration Of
st. Benedict's Day, the patronal feast
of the Order.
The feast was celebrated last Tues
day, but at the last moment, death s
grim reaper caused the program to
be changed; instead of glad and hap
py faces, a solemn gloom settled on
the minds of all the inmates of the
institution; play and joyous song
were Cancelled from the program and
instead the plaintive strains of the
de profundis" and Dies irae" re-
echoed from the chapel walls, while
the Office Of the Dead was being re-
cited Solemn silence hovered in and
about the college. Those who spoke,
spoke in a whisper, they spoke about
a man whom they had loved and cher
ished, loved even more now since
they now only realized and felt their
exceeding great loss.
Rev. Francis Mershman, o. s. B., is
no more; he has been called from
this vale of tears to his eternal re-
ward in the realms above. Although

Dubourg, but sailed up the Mississippi
to st. Louis, finally settling her little
community at st. Charles. From St

PRELATE WINS CASE
ARCHBISHOP OF MILWAUKEE
HAD A RIGHT TO PRoscRIBE
POLISH PAPER.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court last
week decided that Archbishop Mess
mer of Milwaukee and the Suffragan
Bishops of the Province had right to
command Catholics, under pain of
communication. not to read, keep,
or write for Kuryer Polski, Milwau-
kee Polish newspaper.
The publication advocated a move
ment to organize Polish Catholics of
the United States to demand the ap-
pointment of Polish Bishops for Polish
churches in this country, which the
Archbishop considered injurious to
the discipline and faith of members of
the Catholic Church.
The pastoral letter was published
two years ago, and the Kuryer Polski
Publishing Company brought suit for
damages and for an injunction to re.
strain the defendants from publishing
the letter further or continuing their
