other year, according to a statement
made by c. G. Ballentyne; manager

II has been expected that the direct

steps toward making long discussed
improvements at the first meeting
held after the authorization OF an
increase in the company's capital
stock. They met yesterday.
Asked this morning II any steps had
been taken toward making the con-
templated extensions and improve

make any reply beyond simple no.
Urged, he said that 1t is "manifestly
impossible to do anything in that
direction so long as the franchise
stands as 1t is" Reminded that Con-
gress is about to adjourn and that
Governor Pinkham has not yet given
the public utilities commission his
opinion of the proposed amendments

sible for another year, he said, We'll,

erican churches and he has maintain
ed the use OF the English language In

ship In every other respect, yet hav-
ing been born IN Japan and being OF

were awarded the varsity letter, have been lost from last years eleven, but the number of substitutes were of tal- ent equally as great as that of the nrst choices. Candidates from last years freshman class hold fair prom lse and should respond we'll to var sity coaching.
 In particular the weakest points in the embryo eleven, as evidenced at this early stage, are quarterback. the ends and the tackles. The positions of greatest strength should be the halfbacks and fullback, for which there are a number of candidates of almost equal merit. At the guard po- sitions, Capt. Hogg and Nourse will doubtless retain their posts and add strength to the vital part of his Tiger machine.
 Although the university has delayed it's opening until October 10, in order to obViate any danger from infantile paralysis, it is expected that the foot ball plans will progress according to schedule. It is assured that the prac- tice will open September 12 and 1t is likely that the first game with Holy Cross on September 30 will be taken care of. There is game with North Carolina University scheduled for October 7. By the time the students have returned, the season will be well under way.

St. Louis, Aug. 29.-The rampant Cardinals, playing a championship brand of ball. took the Brooklyn Robins into camp at RobiSon park yesterday afternoon and in doing it won their eighth victory in nine games played. The score was 4 to 0.
 There was nothing that smacked of clustering baseball in the methods pursued by the Cardinals. No stirring battling rallies thrilled the fans and brought them to their feet cheering, but when work was to be done the St. Louis boys went about it in most eff Cient style, and never ceased until the task in hand was accomplished. Brooklyn has now lost six games of thirteen played.
 No charge of bad baseball may be preferred against the Robins, for they were Outmatched by Lee Meadows, who pitched a beautiful game of ball. Three times this tall young man, who wears glasses when on the diamond found himself confronted with sitUa- tiOnS which demanded all his skill and cOul age.
 A hit would certainly have scored runners, but Meadows hurled mystery after mystery at the batters and baf- fled them completely. In the first and eighth innings Buck Wheat had a chance to turn the fortunes of the

go to the Giants more than to any other club.
 In going to the Giants Zimmerman returns to the city of his nativity. He was born in New York on February 10. 1886, and learned his baseball on the sand lots of the Bronx. He played with the Bronx Athletics and other semi-professional teams here.
 In 1907 he developed so well as second baseman of the 1907 Wilkes barre team of the New York State league that he was purchased in mid season by President Murphy. He joined the Chicago team in Decent Der and was used as a substitute. What few times he was called upon he did so well, however, that Manager Chance became of the opinion that he would in time develop into a star outfielder and baseman.
