BRIDGEPORT. GIRL
 WILLING TO TEST
 LIFE NET AT FIRE
Applies for Permission to Make Dangerous Leap at Eight
 ina the Flames"

One of the many matters to be con- sidered by the board of fire commits sioners at their meeting tonight will be the prelin4nary arrangements for Fighting the Flames" the gigantic spectacle which the members of the local fire department will produce at Avon Field, Stratford avenue on the afternoon of Saturday, Oct. IA and following the annual parade and in- spection of the fire and police depart ments
 The fire commissioners are as tn- terested in the spectacle as the fire- men themselves and they are anxious that those who take part in the dem onstration shall make a creditable showing in their knowledge of the use of the life nets. life lines, pulmotor. scaling ladders, water tower and other apparatus which will be used in tue production.
 A Bridgeport girl has applied for permission to be among those who jump into the life net from the top story of the burning hotel. Her re- quest has been granted provided at rehearsals she can demonstrate that she can make the leap without chance of injury to herself. If she can do this her name will be announced to the public. Others who desire to take part should apply to MT. Dick Ferris, the producer of the spectacle, who can be found at The Stratfield. One of the purposes of the spectacle is to demonstrate the safe and proper way to get out of burning building with the assistance of firemen and all who desire to take part will be properly instructed before being asl1ed to at- tempt any stunt.
 Fighting the Flames s not scenic production. real four story building especially constr&cted is burned to the ground while a row of other buildings are burned. During the fire the meth ods of modern firemen and the use of modern fire apparatus will be illus Strated.

Brown University
 Begins 153rd Year

Providence, R. T., Sept. 27.-Brown University opened it's 153rd year today at the chapel exercises in Sayles hall. Though registration figures are incom- plete, the indications are for a main tenance of the record-breaking attend ance of last year. The Freshman class at the Womens College exceeds all previous records
 President w. - P. Faunce addressed the students. "The object of the stu dent,'' he said, should be to find out what he can do and then do it with all his might. But how shall we discover what he can do? First must know what other men have dor>-that means history, biography, literature. Then l must know how other men have done it-that means science. knowledge of the laws of nature and their applica- tion to human welfare. Then must know why men have done t-that means the study of philosophy, art and religion. As we thus study the achieve ments of other men, past and present, suddenly or gradually, as the case may be, there comes to us the conscious ness of what we ourselves can do and must do in the world. Then the stu dent. like the apprentice watching the artist, cries outs I. %, am a painter

LEIsURELY JUSTICE

TNHE COURTS OF America have not paraken the ment of American life, which is toward orderly swift and precise and rapid adaptation of ends
 The court rather takes its methods from the habits of the lawyer whose life made periods intense labor alternated with periods of pronounced rest
 The demands of such Mr. Taft and other energetic statesmen for speeding procedure have but futile Courts keep tight to their dlatory technc their times for doing things we'll their way doing give the minimum convenience to the public and the fort to the legal gentlemen who practice in them.
 Occasionally busy of affairs finds himself in the almost tropical leisure of court and the burden deval delay becomes almost intolerable.

LOW ATTENDANCE FIGURES

Two or three weeks ago, when the Yankees played the Athletics in Phil adelphia, 36 cash customers gathered in Shibe Park to act as eye-witnesses to the crime. This was hailed as es- tablishing a low attendance record for the major leagues, and, so far as the modern game is concerned, the asser- tion is probably correct. A search of the records shows that the Quaker City crowd was pretty much of a mob, however, compared with the old-time game in which the real major league record was set up. That was 35 years ago today, Sept. 27, 1881, when Chicago and Troy were the contesting clubs. Estimates as to the paid attendance at that game seem to vary, some au-
 thorities saying that only seven fans

FRANCKE ON g
 GERMAN-AMERICANISA

Prof. Kuno Francke. member of the Harvard faculty, curator of the Ger manic Museum and author of "A Ger man-American's Confession of Faith" and many other books, was born in KieI Germany, 61 years ago today. Graduating from the University of Munich in 1878, he came to America soon afterwards, and joined the liar yard faculty in 1884. In 1896 he was appointed professor of the history of German culture, anu in 1902 curator of the Germanfc Museum. For his educational efforts in America he was made Chevalier of the Royal Prus- sian Order of the Red Eagle.
 In "A German-American's Confess ion of Faith,'' published last year, Prof. Francke brought upon himself Teuton countrymen because of his justification of Americas sale of am- munition to the Allies. ii
 'To change accepted neutrality principles, good or bad intrins1cally, in the midst of war;" he wrote, will necessarily be taken as measure in favor of one or another of the bellig- erents The attempt, therefore, to force our government into declaring an embargo on arms would either, if unsuccessful, need1ess1y embarass the administration, or, if successful, plunge the country into war which it does not want"
 In regard to the political activities of German-Americans, he wrote:
 "I cannot think of anything mote disastrous for American political life than the Possibility of having in Con- eress numerous factions held together by racial instincts foreign to the in- terests of the whole people. That would be the end of large national life: it would be the end of American freedom
 In his book Prof. Francke protests against the common American idea that the European war represents a confist between military dospotism"
 nd peaceful democracy" He admits however, that "the one grave defect of imperial Germany consists in "the arrogance and overbearing of the mill itary and bureaucratic class. Elm peror William, he believes. possesses "a moral enthusiasm and momentum which raise him far above all other rulers of our time, and which have made him the very incarnation of the eager, active, calm and disciplined Ger many of to-day"

dug up real mazuma at the gate, while others put the figure at ten. Ger tainly there were less than a dozen cash customers.
 Like the recent Yankee-Athletic pas time, the Chicago-Troy game was pulled off during rainstorm, which was doubtless responsible for the slim attendance. Troy, which isn't able nowadays to support a New York State League club, was then repre- scented in the National league, holding the franchise through four seasons.
 In the minor leagues there have been cases when games were played before only two or three paying fans. In 1885, it is recorded, regularly sched- uled contest between Allentown and Lancaster, Pa, had to be postponed because nobody at all showed up at the grounds, even the holders of passes staying away.

BAIRD'S BIRTHDAY.

MT. H. Douglass Baird listens like a member of the "400," but it is the monaker of the infielder who has been pastimin for the Pirates a couple of seasons. MT. Baird win have a birth day today, according to the vital sta- tistics which give the date of his mun- dane debut as Sept. 27, 1891, just a quarter of century ago. St. Charles, Mo, a little city near St. Louis, is Bairds port of entry. He began play ing professionally in 1912 when he got a job at third passing for the Spring field, H., club of the Three-I circuit. In the Illinois capital he batted pretty close to the 300 mark and f1elded so neatly that Fred Clarke bought him in August, 1913, paying s2,O00. The following spring Baird was released optionally to Sioux City, where he was the star third sacker of the Western league, and hung up a batting average of .321. Last year. he was recalled to the Pirates and batted .219. Although H. Douglass has always been a third baseman by trade, he has been used on second quite a bit of late.
 
 Walter Holke, the blonde giant who has filled Fred Merkle's shoes on the McIFaW CluD, LOOKS IIke one or the big finds of the season. The stalwart first baseman is only 22, and if he keeps on improving like he has for the last year or two he will certainly be one of the finest first sackers the game l as ever had. It was with Davenport, in the Three-I, that Holke got his baseball start in 1913. He swatted the leather .296 in the Iowa city, and in 1914 he hit .315 for Spokane, in the Northwestern league, and stood sec ond in fielding among the first base men of that fast circuit. McGraw r~-1ght him from Spokane, but turned him over to Rochester for further sea soning, and he was batting .341 for the Hustlers up to the first of this montL, when McGraw recalled him. Take a tip: Watch this Holke kid.
