WAR SITUATION.

1t was ANNOUNCED Tuesday night in
Washington, that unless Gen. Carranza
surrenders the twenty-three American
troopers held prisoners in Chihuahua
City before tonight President Wilson
probably will go before Congress to-
morrow to ask for authority to force
their release. The State Department
had no intimation last night as to when
a reply to the note sent Sunday de-
handing immediate release, might be
expected.
Prompt compliance by Congress with
any request the President NAV make
as to Mexico was foreshown in Washing
ton by the calm which prevailed in both
houses. Although measures designed
TO prepare for war were under consid-
GRAFTON and the corridors of the Capt.
tol jammed with rumors. there was
no excitement, and discussion of the
subject on the floor was avoided. The
legislative branch of the Government
was plainly waiting to do its part
when what the. majority regarded as
inevitable should come. Mean
while mobilization goes on. four in.
fantry companies. the machine gun
company and one-half of the medical
corps, of the First Regiment, Of Louis
Vile. and nearly tie whole Of the
Third Regiment of Kentucky guards
will be in camp at Fort Thomas today
or en- route to the camp.
The Second Regiment and the last
battalion of the first cannot go until
the tents are up. The mobilization Of
Kentucky troops begins in earnest to-
day. Gov. Stanley is urging haste in
the matter.

STRAWBERRY CULTURE.

There are two general cultural meth
DDS Of handling strawberries. One Is
to cultivate them clean throughout the
year, and the other Is 10 mulch them
lightly with straw during the winter
and pillow this under after the fruit has
been picked next spring.
When clean cultivation is used the
cultivation is discontinued during the
harvesting season In order to facilitate
picking. Some growers grow the ber-
ries I'm hills, while some grow them in
a matted row. 1t is difficult to say
which is best as both have good sue
cess. The great advantage of the straw
mulch is that it gives the berries
something to lie on and keeps them out
Of the dirt and enables one to pick
them when the ground is fairly wet
and adds organic matter 10 the soil
Every year after the picking season
1t is necessary to cut out great many
OF the plants. as they viii have COW
cred the ground pretty well by that
time This is usually done by throw
ing a furrow away from each side Of
the row and then working it back i'm
mediately. This leaves the matted
row from which the plants may be re-
moved II they are too thick. II is usu-
ally thought most profitable to renew
the planting every three or four years.

POTATO ScAB.
Forrsldehyde Solution Best For Treat
ing the Seed Tubers.

The spore or germ of potato scab Is
carried ON the seed, thus injecting the
next crop. The spores will also live
I'm the soil, and for that reason a field
that has grown scabby potatoes should
not be planted with the same crop for
q few years.
Lime and manure do not cause scab,
as some suppose. but they do produce
conditions In the soil that favor the
development of scab. 1t is best to
apply lime or limestone after the
potato crop has been harvested. Ma.
nure will do less injury IL applied the
year before.
W. l.. Slate OF the Connecticut Ag-
ricultural college suggests that not only
the potatoes should be treated for
scab, but also all bags, boxes, baskets
or pals that are TO contain the seed
after treating. by sprinkling them with
formaldehyde solution.
The formaldehyde solution (formalin
40 per cent? is the best for treating the
seed potatoes. Make up solution at
the rate Of one pint Of formalin TO
thirty gallons of water. Soak the I'M
cut seed for two hours. Ii Is best to
treat seed potatoes Just before planting
time so they may be cut Immediately
after soaking.

REELS OFF 90 YARD RUN FOR
 YALE IN PRACTICE

New Haven, Oct. PA ffty-yard run by Harry Le Gore through a broken field was the feature of the practice at Yale Field yesterday af- ternoon in which the varsity made four 'touchdowns against the scrub eleven. These touchdowns were the result of old-fashioned football, ex- cept the \one preceded by Le Cores long run, two of them being made by Jacques and the other two by the star right halfback. The scrub elev- en-was unable to score.
 Bingham, the left halfback, is at the, Yale infirmary with a muscle bruise which will not prevent his playing Saturday against /Lehigh, and his place was taken first by Neville and then by Carey who has been play ing we'll on the scrubs. The backs tried field goals and the line tried to break up the attempts after the scrimmage. Braden played on the second team and dld the bunting. Taft showed improvement as varsity centre and will play Saturday.

Tad JonesICured of Fumbling Kicks When
 Coach Kept Him In

Charles B. Parker of Boston, in an interesting article on the subject of encouraging football players. tells sev- eral interesting stories. A Yale quar- terback in a Yale-Army game muffed punts repeatedly. Jack Owsley, in charge of the team. was asked why he did not take the man out.
 ''Because," said Owsley, 'if I did I would spoil a promising back" Dur ing the intermission Owsley thus ad- dressed the depressed backfield man: That's all right, my boy. Just keep trying. You're not accustomed to playing punts in this open back ground where you get the ball against the sky. It mixes you up. You'll get used to it next half; don't let it bother you"
 He did get used to it. He played a great game and led the Yale offence to victory over the Cadets. Later he was an all-American quarterback. He was Tad Jones.

 OF RING BATTLES

1S89-Danny Goodman, Jewish box CT, born in Detroit. Danny began fighting in 1905, when he was 16 years old,- and for nearly a decade he was one of the busiest boxers in the mid- dle west. He started as a bantam weight, and one of his first opponents was Johnny Coulon, the future cham pion who was also just breaking into the game. Johnny had the best of the 3-round argument. They fought again in 1906, after Danny had made reputation as a knocker out, but af- ter 8 rounds of spirited milling Cou- lon was again declared the victor. In 1907 Goodman was knocked out in the 4th round by Ad Wolgast, but the next year Danny held the Michigan wild cat to draw in rounds He was knocked out by Kid Farmer in 1910. but in 1911 put the Kid to sleep. As a lightweight the little Hebrew fought at times like an nalmost-champion. but in 1912 he began to slip back, and in subsequent contests was defeated by several second and third raters.

For a time there was some grumbling from the diamond performers that c. H.

 The best proof that Ebbets had in mind the participants as well as him. self is found in comparison with other attendance figureH This year nearly 5000 less than last year say the four games, yet the receipts thisiyear were more than $33,000 higher, which es- tablishes a record amount ip which the players share.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-10-12

The best previous mark for four games came in 1912, in the series be- tween the Giants and Red Sox. That year the players received $14S,899.55 out of receipts totalling $273,282. The attendance of 1912 for four games was 137,004. almost 17,000 more than this year, but then no war prices'' were in vogue.
 There is only one worlds series mark for four years that still remains on the books and that is the indi- vidual shares received. In 1912 the Red Sox,. who fought with only 22 men, got $4,022 apiece. This year there are 26 willing workers on the Red Sox and "A of the Dodgers who will enjoy a little, extra change. Con. trary to local belief, Lew McCarty who was traded to the Giants for Fred Merkle, will get a full share of the Brooklyn budget. This adds one man to the Dodger roster.

Mental Influence. in
 Football Recognized
 By Leading Coaches

New Haven, Oct. 12-Frank Cava- naugh, the Dartmouth coach was once asked if he attached importance to the theory of psychology on the football field. His reply was that he certainly did.
 'The more I see of college foot ball." he added, "the more import ance place on the psychology of the game" Cavanaugh's convictions in this respect are reflected in his coach- ing methods.
 Foster Sanford. of course, takes ac- count, of mental influences. Last year he had some backfield men who had in their minds the fear of drop ping punts at crucial moments. San ford did not have to be told that where fear of the sort. exists the chances of realization were increased ten fold. So he proceeded to eliminate this dread, by implanting in the minds of the backfield men a stern confidence in their ability to catch any ball that was kicked. And he did.
 He did it in this way: He stood a backfield man in the center of a large circle of teammates and then he took ball and kicked it straight up In the air. Sanford can send a ball a mile straight up. As the ball began to descend the members af the team drew slowly in, shouting and throw ing their headguards across the catch CTS line of vision. At first the muffs were unvarying, but eventually im- provement was shown, and in the end nothing short of dynamite could have made the catchers miss the ball.
 The same process has been carried on at New Brunswick this season, and the result has been a great precision among the backs in the matter of catching the ball. Their fear, in oth-

STOP MAN WHO FLASHED MIRROR IN

5 New York, Oct. 12.-What might = ve developed into far-reaching scandal was nipped by Connolly, the umpire, in right field in the Worlds Series game at Ebbets Field yester- de-. Connolly discovered man on the roof of the grand stand with what appeared to be a large sized shaving mirror and he rushed to the plate and stopped the game<f for a moment
 When the bold intruder saw that he was discovered he beat a haety retreat and so far as could be leaFned no eff fort was made to bring him to justice. It was presumed that he had sought the roof with a looking glass to flash the sun into the eyes of some player at some critical point of the game. It will never be known whether he was Brooklyn or a Boston rooter As a matter of fact his nefarious scheme did not work out.
