The program as previously announced will be fol- lowed. The postponement will work to the advantage of the local troops for many of them had not yet reached the degree of preparation that may be attained.

 The new card catalogue of the troops of the city has been nearly completed under the active superVl- sion of Assistant Scout Master Samuel Burns of Troop 4, and has been placed in the files of the Scout ot- fee in the boys department of the Y, M. c. A. Those troops which are not yet completely registered are re- quested to turn in the balance of their data at once. The files will be kept up by a system which requires that badges for all Scouts be purchased through the Scout office. Scout masters are reminded that requisi- tions for badges must include the name of each boy for whom the badges are ordered, together with his rank, and the signature of the Scout master.

Tn accordance with this plan, every first class Scout whether he has qualified in any merit badge tests or not is requested to at tend the next meeting of the court of honor on Tuesday evening, October 17, at ' o'clock in the Y. M. c. A At this time the new movem ent for increasing the number of merit badge Scouts will be explained and sugges- tiOns offered

 Eighth place is no position for a club boosting of a $90,000 payroll. We started the season with one of the highest salared teams in the National league.

 ROOTS ANALYSIS
Administration Inefficient in For.
 eign Affairs, Chief Argument

New York, Oct. 6.-Elihu Root speaking calmly, as he always speaks, yet with an appearance of restrained intensity that seemed to give his words added import, stood before an audience of 2,00O persons at the re- publican clubs first presidential rally in Carnegie hall last evenine and brought to an end an analysis of the democratic party, it's principles. it's purposes, and it's accom- plishments as exemplifed in President Wilson with the declaration that the spirit of American nationality was not in the president or his party. In that lack MT. Root found explanation, if not excuse, for what he chara terized as the utter failure of the administra- ton to impress upon the other great powers a sense of the American spirit and the American power which, he insisted, if made clear as America could make it clear, was the nations best safeguard against war
 The speech. which took MT. Root an hour and twenty minutes to de- liver, and which reused his audience to a pitch fenthusiasm that result ed in frequent Interruptions while the throng cheered, considered MT.

In turn he took up the situation created by Germanys sinking of the Lusitania and this countrys policy with respect to Mexico, making in each instance, the point that trouble

seventy years except Lincoln and Mo- Kinlcy. Never since Columbus sight cd San Salvador has there been time when it has been so easy for America to keep out of war by doing nothing as it has during the great conflict now raging in the old world" All other powers have had their hands full with existing enemies, MT. Root pointed out, and none has been willing to as. sume hostile relations with us, or even to incur our passive hostility So, MT Root continued:
 "Our danger is not now, while the great war is raging, but later, when peace has been made and the great armies arc free and rulers and gov ernments look about for ways to re pair their losses and the great space: and ill-defended wealth of the New World loom large on the horizon of their desires. Then will come the pressure of competition backed by force Then will come the grasping for opportunity for trade advantage, for territorial foothold in these new con- tinents where the wealth of the world is concentrating while the old nations are fighting. Then will come the dan gers of agggression, small at first, upon plausible preteXt, but involving our rights, and then we must main tain our rights or abandon them. Then must be determined whether the Mon- roe Doctrine has behind it the sim cerity and courage of a great nation or is to be surrendered as an idle hoo

 Mr. Root began his speech with the assertion that the United States, hay ine serious business at home and abroad to be transacted in the next four years, was concerned now in the selection of the men to be intrusted with the conduct of the business, and he asked: Shall we engage MT, Will son, MT.

FOR COLD WINTER NIGHTS
McGraw May Sit by His Electric Log and Read Bill Shalxespeare's Scrib- bling, Gift From Team.

and Read Bill Shakespeare's Scrib-
 bling, Gift From Team.
 New York, Oct. 6-Since John J. McGraw made good his threat of re- treat and did not appear at Brooklyn yesterday for the final game of the year in which his team was engaged the players were foiled from carrying g out scheme of generous intent. Aft CT the Giants had completed their record shattering trip through the clubs of the league the players de- cided to commemorate in way the efforts of themselves and their man. ager. To do this they purchased a valuable collection of William Shakes peare's works and were ready to pre- sent these books to their manager at the game.
 The failure of McGraw to appear does not deter the players from keep ever, there will be no public presenta- ton. The books will be sent to Me- Graw's home and with them will go an autographed resolution in which each player assures the manager of his es- teem for his fairness and hard work during the record breaking tourney
 Although the statement of McGraw issued Tuesday still is big topic of interest among baseball leaders most of those closely connected with the affair wished to allow it to blow over. Officials of the Giants declared the affair was settled and that they re- fused to comment further.

CUNARDER SUNK
francon1a of 1S,15O Tons Destroyed While in Service of British Govern ment As Troop Ship.

London, Oct. 6.-The British ad- m1ralty announces that the Cunsrd steamer Franconia, employed for transport duty, was sunk in the Medi- terranean Wednesday by an enemy submarine. The steamer had no troops aboard. Twelve men of the crew of BOP are missing.
 According to the latest available reports the Franconia was being used as British transport. She was a vessel of 1S,15O tons gross and was oullt III 1910. Her maiden voyage was between Liverpool and Boston in February, 1911. The Franconia was 625 feet long, 72 feet wide and dis placed 25.O00 tons. When she was built she was considered one of the most comfortable steamers Of the Cunard line. A striking feature of sence of state rooms on the boat deck. which was devoted to promenade room, library, gymnasium and a lounge and smoking room. The ves- sel was nicknamed the 'bath ship' inasmuch as she had more bath rooms and showers than the Mauretania, this equipment being installed for the benefit of passengers bound for long cruises to the Mediterranean.
 The steerage of the Franconia was considered the best appointed of any steamer carrying third-class passen- gers. The old idea of steerage com- partments had been eliminated and state rooms capable of accommo odat- ing four, six and eight persons had been installed in her. The last re- port of the Franconia in June, 1915, announced that she had been char. tered to carry British troops to the Dardanelles.

BRAVES AND PHILS <. USE 27 PLAYERS
Boston Team Wins in TraVesty on National Game

Philadelphia, Oct. 6.-A travesty on the national game of baseball was staged yesterday when the Phillies wound up their season by losing to Boston by the score of to 1. Twen- ty-seven players, including Billy Ma know who participated in the game would require speaking acquaintance <. with all the players of both teams There was enough shifting of posi- lions to make any one dizzy.
 Notwithstanding all this, it was an interesting game to look at, and drew forth many a good laugh. Fortune started out for the Moranmen, but he vas touched up for two runs, and was replaced by Baumgartner, Nehf twirl- ed the entire game for the Braves, and was slugged hard.
 Y Moran tried out nearly erybody on his bench. Billy Maharg friend Of Alexander's, entered the box score when he batted for Good in the eighth and was thrown out at first. He then went to right field, where he posed in the shadow cast by the large flag on top of the grand stand.
 The management opened the gates after the fourth inning and allowed '~alI the youngsters to pick out seats. Many made a dive for the boxes, and Immediately started out to get the Boston players goats, and succeeded To keep track of the players going in and changing their positions every in ming would nearly require the services of several bookkeepers. In one inning Magee would play first base, then shortstop; Bender would pinch hit for A some one; Eddie Burns would don the catcheTs mask, then take it off, then go to center field; Maranville would go to the clubhouse; then Snodgrass would go to first. The fellow who kept the box score nearly went crazy
 The announcer got so hoarse shout irg out the changes that he had to fall back on wigwag system. Not yyithstanding all these changes, it was 8. pretty good game up to the sixth inning. Gavy Cravath was not at the game as he left for his home on the Pacific coast Wednesday night. The Phillies were rendered banquet last night by President Baker at the Cedar Driving club. The score:
