 W. H. Hall. superintendent of schools, West Hartford, Mrs. Esther B. Dimock. Mrs. Joseph A. Dimock and Mrs. Hattie Dimock Pierce at- tended the annual Bible day picnic at Westford Hill last Wednesday. It is always disappointment to m iss this unique religious and social occasion that is really Ashford's old home day and we are happy to share the follow ing interesting letter from one who was so happy as to be present. Many people will recall the visits of MT Hall when he was president of the State Sunday School association.
 Dear Mrs. Preston:
 Yesterday had the great pleasure of attending the Ashford Bible assooi. ation anniversary in the grove back of the church at Westford Hill. You remember doubtless that when called at your home two years ago, you told me about this ancient organization, and later sent me a printed account of it's origin and history which you had proved. Therefore was quite glad to accept the invitation of Secretary Samuel w. Raymond to accompany him yesterday in attending the ami. versary. We found goodly number assembled, fully one hundred, perhaps one hundred and fifty all seeming to enjoy the occasion in the renewal of old friendships and in hearty fellow ship. You know all about those occasions and do not need to describe the meeting of yesterday. The local band furnished good music and the neighhoring pastors, Secretary Ray mond and Rev. Walter Lanphear of the Connecticut Temperance Union made excellent addresses. I inquired for you as soon as I arrived, hoping to have the pleasure of meeting you. Rev. Leonard Smith informed me that you did not feel able to make the journey. I was sorry you could not be present. To me one of the most in- teresting experiences of such an occasion is the impression made by witnessing the assembling of such a company of genuine New Englanders, the descendants of those sturdy, noble folk. who founded our nation and to whose spirit of sacrifice and loyal de- votion we owe so much. It is not common in these days in our larger to see such a congre. gation. had peculiar pleasure in going to Westford, my mothers birthplace, the home of her ancestors and mine for several generations. It brought up vivid memories of my childhood when our family made annual visits to the old homestead and sometimes spent a Sunday, going with our relatives to the old church. I shall remember yesterdays experience with great pleasure in the days to come and shall not cease to be grateful to you for awakening in me an interest in this occasion.
 Yours cordially,
 W. H. HALL.

Manager Clark found Saturday afternoon, after a perusal of his schedule book. that two teams were scheduled to play the locals that afternoon. He couldn' t see the double bill offering. He decided it was a mistake. So he goes over to Rock vile on the 2 o'clock car. On the trip to that city he asked the motor man to tell the Skat team to go back to Hartford, providing the trolley driver had opportunity to do that little thing. The motorman met the car that the Skats were on at Vernon, and that team very obligingly went back to the capital city. Manager Clark came back on the 3 o'clock trolley. The Bristolites came on here earlier in the season for a game, but rain interfered, so Manager Clark promised them another game, and the oonfliotion on that account was decided in their favor.

LEAGUE LEADERS WIN
Live Oaks Trim Annex in AS Exciting
a Contest AS the Battle of Ballots
Wanderers Set Record.

While the crowds were Anxiously
watching the returns of the election
at the Herald bulletin board on
Church street last evening, a contest
which waged as warm as the great
battle of ballots was being staged in
the Aetna alleys when the Live Oaks
and the Annex quintets clashed in
the crucial game of the league series.
The Live Oaks were the Victors but
not until they had used all the clever
bowling ability. The Annex five
made a formida BILE foe for the leaders
and contested every inch of the three
games. The hopes of the East side
boys were cheered when their pets
walked off with the opening game de-
feating the Live Oaks by the wide
margin of fifty-five pins. In this
game Hoffman, Blanchette and Foote
hit the pins for three figure scores.
while Bertini of the losers was the
only man thai could equal the achieve
ment. The second game was a thrill
Ter, the Live Oaks emerging from the
fray a victor by an eight point mar
gin. Then the teams went into the
saw-off game, and mainly through the
good work or Richter was able to
grab the game and the series.
The Wanderers established new
league record for team score last
evening, when in the second game
with the Harpoons, "The tramps'
piled up a score of 553. Four scores
over the century mark with Larson
at the top with 127 made this feat
possible, This same player opened
the match with a 1913 score and COM
pleted his nights work with a total
Of $50, meriting VERY good Eddie"

Tiger Tactics in Stadium.

Cambridge, Nov. 8.-Harvard's
football drill yesterday afternoon was
long drawn out. but the scrimmage
against the second team was short.
The scrubs, using the Princeton plays,
made no great Roadway, while the
REGULARS scored one touchdown on a
run by Case. The scrubs did much
better against the substitutes, how
ever, than they did against the var
sity, holding the second string team
scoreless, while Bob Guilds boys got
a touchdown when Woods of last
years freshmen team completed a
forward PASS.
The regulars had a very long signal
drill, and have been working over
time to get precision in their attack.
The varsity lineup was changed a
little yesterday, Snow playing at right
guard instead of Clark. Snow was
slightly hurt last Saturday, but will be
all right for substitute work this
week.
Murray was again at quarter, and
for a time Horween went into the
back1eId with Casey and Tacher,
thus making the ombination the
same as it was for the Cornell game.
Horween has been getting back into
shape, but it is far from sure that
he will start Saturdays game instead
of MinOt.

Penn Backs Work Well.

Philadelphia. Nov. gS.-The Red
and Blue eleven lined up against the
scrubs in scrimmage yesterday after
noon with the same backfield that
shattered the Lafayette defense last
Saturday, Jimmy Bryant was at quar-
ter, Williams and Derr at halfback,
and HOBBY Light at fullback.
This com bination worked smooth
ly:> They shot plays at the scrub line
and always gained. After a drill
with the scrubs, the second varsity,
with fresh players in their lineup,
were opposed to the regulars. They
used several Dartmouth formations,
which the varsity broke up easily.
The line, however, will be slightly
changed for the Dartmouth game.
Captain Mathews will be back in
his old place at tackle, and in all
probability Henning and Ertresvag,
who started the Pittsburgh game at
guard, will be found thanking Lud
Wray on Saturday. Little will be
the other tackle and Miller and Urqu-
hart will take care of the wings,

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 8.-The two
Zig elevens of Harvard and Princeton
are ready for their annual battle on
the gridiron at the stadium here Nov.
II. This will be the first big clash
among the big eastern teams. and
the eyes of the football fans are CEN
tered on the outcome. Picking a
winner is a hard proposition at this
time, as the elevens are so evenly
matched. Some weeks ago Princeton
was ruling favorite, but since Har-
ward took Cornell into camp and
showed such brilliant football with
out revealing her real strength the
experts have some doubt as to wheth-
er Princeton Will defeat the Crimson.
Harvard is not as powerful physi-
rally as Princeton, nor does the team
boast of as many scoring possibilities,
but there's always the unknown fac
tor regarding sensations the magical
Haughton system may spring.
If the Princeton Tigers do not whip
Harvard this fall they will disappoint
thousands of Nassaus sons. The
Tigers have practically the same team
that was beaten at New Haven and
Cam bridge last year. Experience
means a lot on the gridiron, so that
the Tigers are we'll off in this respect.
The Tigers played good football last
fall until they met Yale and Harvard.
Then they went to pieces. But this
is an other season. and the Prince

themselves. Layout shows some Of

WILL TINKER STAY?
Chicago Cubs Management May Name
New Team Leader at Annual
Meeting Next Monday.

Now that the voters of the nation
have settled their quadrennial argu-
ment, the question next in Importance
to Chicago will be the management of
it's two major league teams Nation
al league adherents probably will
have the question answered for them
by the first Of next week The an
nual meeting of the company that
operates the Cubs is booked for next
Monday, and, unless it is adjourned
the matter of retaining or supplant-
ing Joe Tinker will be settled then.
American League rooters may have
to wait longer for anything definite,
as President Comiskey has a COM
bined business and pleasure trip to
Wyoming planned for the coming
fortnight and has intimated he will
have nothing to say about the White
Sox management until afterward.
That strong opposition to Tinker
became known before the end of the
city series, and the tip was strong
that his successor was being freely
discussed. Since then the men who
were dissatisfied with the showing Of
the Cubs have had time to look mat
ters over, and some OF them are re-
ported to have cooled off.
Part Of the cooling process has
been due to the problem Of how to
replace the Cub manager with any
one sure to do better. There is an
element among the stockholders
which, while not wholly friendly to
Tinker, is inclined to make sure of
an Improvement before swapping
pilots.
Among the possible successors to
the Cub management suggested by
various stockholders were Frank
Chance, Larry Doyle, Jack Hendricks,
Dick Kinsella and Fred Mitchell. It
is extremely doubtful if Chance could
be tempted back into major league
baseball after his disastrous expert
ence in New York, especially as he
has soft berth now near his orange
ranch. Larry Doyle has only his
training under McGraw as a known
qualification for the job.

The Conference Upset.
Minnesota, Chicago, Illinois and
Wisconsin, especially the former three,
have ruled the Western Conference so
long that no one took it for granted
that a stranger would ever be ad-
nitted to the top. In this confer
ence championship Ohio State and
Northwestern have been the Cardinals
and Reds of the melee.
They have been rarely taken seri-
ously. Yet today these two are the
only unbeaten conference teams.
In Chick Harley Ohio State has one
of the great halfbacks Of the season.
His fame may not be known in the
East, but few in the East ever heard
of Elmer Oliphant until he came from
Purdue to West Point. Harley so far
has done even finer all around work
than LIE Gore or Casey, for he has
beaten States two hardest rivals al
most without help.
