romance Is Football Days. just an
nounced as ready by Moffat, Yard & Co F.,
in which big Bill Edwards, Princeton
captain in 1899. puts into type the great
mass of story and anecdote that has
grown out Of American college football
The 800 pages that comprise this most
notable contribution to the literature of
the greatest all college games are cram
med with the stories of men and teams,
recollections of heroes old and new, o.
tense situations of the past and present,
and inside facts that enable the mod

men who heretofore have been mere
names to him
While the work Is dedicated to the
memory of Johnny Poe, whose gallant
lighting ended in death while a member
of the famous Black Watch, the author
has not failed to render tribute to other
great players who have gone their way,
and he has in this way been enabled to
get into permanent form intimate studies

the reasons for their enduring influence.

SCHOOL GRID CHAMPS
MAY Play BALTIMORE
Proposition Is Before Faculty Advisers
to Play lntercity Contest.

An inter-city, scholastic football game
which has been talked about in local
school circles for the past ten days MAJ
be a reality instead of just a mere sup
position.
wv. A. Kimel and ID. A. Bynum. Of the
ways and means committee of the
Knights of Pythias, proposed contest
OF this kind to the Board Of Education
at a meeting held last Friday. Their
proposition passed the judgment Of the
board. but was referred to the board o.:
faculty advisors on athletics of the fiye
high schools, and a meeting will be held
by this board either tomorrow or SatuT-
day to consider this offer and adopt plans
for the playing of the game.
The proposition as presented by the
committee from the Knights of Pythias
was to have the championship eleven Of
the local high school football series play
the champion team OF Baltimore.
Central seems TO have a grand chance
of coping the honors this fall, and are
reported to be In favor Of playing this
game
Mike Thompson, a former Georgetown
player. and well known throughout the
East as a football official, is coaching
the Baltimore City College eleven. CITY
College this season appears to have the
best chance of grabbing the bacon In the
and Thompson is greatly, In favor Of
playing an inter-city championship game.
Central would draw well with the City
College eleven, and these teams would
no doubt furnish a real brand of foot
hall, but since the proposition Of the
knights Of Pythias is to have the school
and lodge men go ffty-ffty on the finan-
cial end. 1t Is not believed that the o
Streeters would obtain much backing
from the other high schools.
Along with the talk of this proposed
contest comes a suggestion from one of
the best high school and college gridiron
authorities in this section. The sugges-
ton Is to have each coach OF the five
local schools name four players Of his
squad to be candidates for this all-stsr
eleven and in this way the best talented
gridironer in the series would be seen
in action.
1t was furthr suggested that one OF the
FIVE coaches be appointed to supervise
the team, while the others would help
out in coaching the linesmen. ends and
back-fleld men.
II this plan is adopted II would enable
all the schools TO cut in on the financial
end and would afford the kind of sup
port a game OF this kind deserves.
The playing of an all-star team to be
named in this manner would be n sure
drawing card and would surely boaster
up the treasury OF the athletic associa-
tions of the various schools. The nam
ing of the players by the coaches Of the
different schools would tend to make the
players work hard for the positions and
would give more glory to be an all-high-
school selection than Just being named on
a mathematical eleven.

TN WRECK

EUREKA, Cal, June 16.-The
liner Bear remained on the
rocks at Blunt's reef today. with
no immediate danger of breaking
up. Two hundred survivors are
going to San Francisco today on a
special train.
The accurate checking of the
passengers is difficult. The com.
pany asserts only five are dead.
Other versions gave five missing
as well as five dead.
The coroner is conducting an
inquest. Seamen believe IL the
cargo is lightered the vessel Will
float. and it will be possible to
save her. ..., ....5z
Four bodies have been identi-
fled, but the fifth, a woman, is
difficult to identify. The bodies
were all smeared with oil, which
flowed from the bursted tanks of
the Bear and covered the sea.
The coroner subpoenaed Capt.
Nopander and several members of
the crew Investigations showed
the Bear was in no immediate
danger after striking the rocks.
He is inclined to criticise the
captain for ordering the passen-
gers to the boats rather than
keeping them aboard. = Joseph

Hansen, assistant engineer are
hailed as heroes. Each dived In

HARMONY
RIPS Up
A FAMILY

Mike Miller played a Victrola
so much that 16 years of smolder-
ing jealousy welled up in John
Budinick's henpecked heart and
he rebelled against his wife,
Amanda. 1t all terminated today
in the hearing Of Johns suit for
a divorce in the superior court.
Mike was the star boarder in
Budinick's Ruston home. it
seems. But according to Budi-
hicks broken testimony, the star
developed into whole constella-
ton, and the first thing he knew
he was merely washing the dishes.
while Michael assumed first place
in the wife's heart.
The Victrola, which brought so
much grief to Johns soul, was a
gift to his wife from Mike, who is
a boss at the smelter, drawing
down the wage of $3.50 a day.
Budinick admitted on the
stand that his wife had him "buf-
faloed" for 16 years. He said he
did not object to the shoes and
the silk waists Miller gave his
wife because he did not have the
courage.
but when he gave her the
Victrola, IL was too much,"
the tired husband COM
planned. "Every night they
would play il while ] washed
the dishes for 10 boarders.
II got breakfast and worked all
day in a sawmill and when |
would come home at night | had
to wash the dishes while my wife
went out to movies with this man.
II would hear her in his
room. One time l peeked through
the door and saw her sitting with
him, and she gave me thunder.
After that / did not dare go up
stairs when ! heard them to-
gether, but had to stay down and
wash the Dishes"
Budinick claims his wife re-
fused to move to another house
unless Miller was allowed to live
with them. During the 16 years
of married life he claims he never
cashed a pay check. This was his
wife's duty.
Once every week or so he
got % cents to go to movie,
he said.

CALL FOR
VIGOROUS.
CAMPAIGN

SPOKANE, June 16.-Call for
the organization of statewide
progressive-republican league was
issued here today by l.. Roy
Slater, state progressive party
chairman, and Thomas +. Muir
phine, progressive delegate to the
Chicago convention, on their re-
turn to the state of Washington.
A telegram has been sent 20
all progressive leaders in the
state, urging immediate organi-
cation.
One sentence of the telegram
says. 1.-The good of the country
requires that progressive princl-
pies and ideas ever be foremost
1t is urged that organization
meetings be called for Saturday
night wherever possible.
Both Slater and Murphine de.
clare that they are not going into
the republican party, but take
this position:
I'VE are going to take a long
run and jump squarely into the
front rank of state politics.
Throughout the country the claim
is made that the republicans are
a progressive party. Hughes has
always been progressive repub-
lican. Here is a chance for the
progressive-republicans to assert
themselves.
The announcement here today
is considered one of the biggest
developments in Washington pol,-
tics.

Progressive Party
Dead; European War
Killed It--Cardner

the republi leans, the democratic
and the socialist parties.
Members of the progress
sive national committee who
will have the power to
name a candidate believe any
candidate put in the running
would poll 1,OOO,OO votes.
The party polled 100000
in 1912.
This million votes might prove
to be the balance of power be-
tween the old parties. Wilson
won last time by just about this
margain.
The most important result of
naming a candidate would be the
perpetuation of the party as a
NUCLEUS for future radical politi-
cal action.
Progressives here have been
bitter in their criticism of Roose-
welt. They feel he should have
notified them months ago ii he
was not willing to be the candi-
date so they could have governed
themselves accordingly.
There is another element which
sees in Roosevelt's course nothing
but commendable self-sacrifice.
Decision June 20
They say he has shown conclu-
sively that he places the country
need above personal resentments
or even ambition, and is ready
not only to withdraw himself but
to do all in his power to with
draw not only himself but also
his party when itstands in the
way of defeating the democratic
administration. ~
The truth is, Roosevelt has
from the beginning had only one
end in view, the election Of a
president in place of Wilson COM
mitted to the preparedness and
Americanism issues.
To accomplish this he would
ride down friends, party or any
other obstruction.
Roosevelt never promised TO
run against Hughes or any candi-
date strong enough to promise
the defeat of Wilson on an Amer
lean platform. Some people did
not understand this and they are
