welcome a players strike" said Pres
ident Ed Barrow on his return from
the New Orleans meeting. IF our play

opportunity to bring our salaries down
to an equitable basis. Admitting that
our salaries are lower than they were
before the Federal League came into
the field. they still are considerably
What must be brought home to our
players is that if minor league condi-

were around 1900. salaries, necessarily

thing that would worry u.s."
According to Barrow the fraternity
requests were coolly received at New

In fact the day before the meeing he
telegraphed that he was wrong In one
instance and asked to have the request
withdrawn. 1t was one that had to DO
with paying an injured player in full or
giving him an unconditional release
with two weeks pay. The minor
leagues have been doing this for three
full years.
Even Branch Hickey. former man

YALE-HARVARDAND DARMY-NAVY
GAMES TO BE PLAYED SATURDAY
Better Foot Ball Likely to Be Seen at New
Haven Because of Showing Made
by the Big Teams. -
BY h. c. BYRD.

Two big games hold the center OF the
foot ball stage this week. Yale and
Harvard meet at New Haven and the
Army and Navy at New York. Usually
the Army-Navy struggle has taken
place the Saturday following Thanks
giving, but this year the last Saturday
in November. the day on which the
game is to be played for two more sea-
sons. falls before Thanksgiving. Yale
and Harvard have. been meeting for
years on the Saturday before Thanks
givin, hence the conflict in the two
games Saturday. The fact that both
contests will be played this week,
though. is not likely to detract from
tites of the Polo Grounds and the Yale
stadium are pretty sure to be taxed to
their limits.
The better foot ball is likely to be
played at New Haven. Neither the
like tactics of the team which is to
wear the Crimson, and despite the
strong rivalry between Army and Navy.
neither of those elevens shows the pure
grit, aggressiveness and tenacfty or
purpose that does Yale in it's two big
struggles.
AS TO the probable results of the
games, there is little to say So many
upsets have been noted in foot ball
this season that it is almost useless TO
make predictions about the scores OF
games in which teams. fairly evenly
matched, take part. So much advantage
may be taken of a single mistake that
a game will be decided on the strength
of that, and mistakes in present day
foot ball are not infreQuent. Judged on
of OF
mas a stronger combination than that
which represents the Navy. and Yale is
much better qualified to meet Harvard
,han in quit awhile.

EXPECTS OIL "STRIKE"
ON VIRGINIA ISLAND

That great oil strike is pending on
the property of the Tidewater Oil and
Gas Company. on Perdue Island, Ches-
terfeld County. Va, fourteen miles from
Richmond, is the opinion of r. w. Pow
ers. Of the investment house OF Power &
stabler, who has recently returned from,
a visit to the field. Gas buildings. COM
ing up through the water, were caught
and lignited.
Il am convinced" said he, after an
exhaustive study of geological and other
conditions, in company with a number
of experienced oil and gas men, that the
promoters of this property are on the
verge of an oil strike that will mean
the Industrial awakening of Virginia and
all adjacent territory"
j. F. Peck, general manager OF the
Tidewater Oil and Gas Corporation. has
secured options on 500 acres lying along
the river near Perdue Island, and the
first shaft will be sunk on the Chester
field side on or about August /. AS soon
as this well is in operation others will
be driven on the property and the con-
structton of modern refineries. pipe lines
and other features necessary to market
the product will be pushed rapidly to
completion.

Numbers in a Crowd.

1t is remarkable how the average
civilian overestimates the number of per-
sons in big procession. But 1t is easy
to estimate such numbers approximately.
Here is the rule laid down in the Field
Service Regulations" OF the United States
army:
THE strength of a body of troops may
be estimated from the length of time It
takes to pass given point. Assuming
that infantry In column of fours occupies
half yard per man, cavalry one yard
per trooper, and artillery in single column
per gun or caisson, a given point would
be passed in one minute by about 175 in
fantry, 10 cavalry at walk, 300 cavalry
at a trot, and five guns or caissons."
Allowing for spacing between COM
psnies, battalions and regiments. all of
which Is according to mathematical rule.
1t takes a regiment of 1000 men divided
into battaIions just ten minutes to pass.
or at the rate of 5000 per hour. And this
supposes no breaks in the line.

SHERIFF RAIDS
SLOT. MACHINES
Calvert County Official Breaks
Up Alleged Games Of Chance
at Chesapeake Beach.

Baltimore, July 15.-The Calvert County
authorities made a raid on Chesapeake
Beach yesterday and bagged eight slot
machines and two prisoners.
Sheriff Julius c. Hall, of Calvert, made
a personal tour of Chesapeake Beach last
Saturday night. When he arrived at the
Beach. he says, the gambling games and
slot machines were doing a thriving bust
ness. In all, he says, he saw seventeen
slot machines in operation.
Sheriff Hall then planned grand coup.
He swore in several deputies and dele
gated them to go to the resort at the
time specific for the raid and to play
the machines until he and his men ar
rived on the scene.
To reach the building in which the
slot machines were was the work of a
few minutes. When Sheriff Hall entered
the room his deputies, who had been COM
missioned TO play the machines, stood
guard over them.
Two men, who were said to be act
ing IN the dual role OF "cappers" and
"bouncers," made a rush at the raiders.
There was a brief scuffle, but they were
overpowered and placed under arrest.
Taken to Prince Frederick, the men
gave their names as James Brown and
Charles Michael They were charged
with resisting officers and were released
on bail for hearing before Justice Will
lam W. Duke.
Communicating a wheelbarrow, Sheriff
Hall and his deputies conhscated eight of
the slot machines. which they took with
them as evidence The raid caused great
excitement at the Beach.

SENATE MAY PASS
ARMOR PLANT BILL

The navy appropriation bill which was
before the Senate yesterday provoked no
great opposition. Most of the committee
by the committee. The building program
came UP again but on the REQUEST of
Senator Norris was allowed to 20 over
until next week.
1t is expected that the authorization
will be made for the government armor
plant to cost S11. 900 900, but that the adj
ministration will use 1t as weapon,
to insure that the armor plate manu-
facturers will not seek to impose high
prices for manufacture of plate In the
