HUGHES $40 CLUB BEGUN
TO FATTEN WAR CHEST

New York, Aug. l7.-In order TO fill
their Golfers with campaign contributions
the Republican campaign managers have
organized a "Ten-Dollar Club" and issued
en- appeal to Republicans generally to
contribute for the election OF Charles z.
Hughes and the Republican ticket. Con-
trfbutors will be enrolled at Republican
national headquarters as sustaining
members Of the Republican party, and
an engraved certificate Of membership
VIII be sent to each person who con-
tributes $40. OF course, smaller or larger
amounts will be thankfully received
Cornelius n. Bliss treasurer OF the ma
tional committee. evolved the scheme.
Mr.. Bliss explained that the Ten
Dollar Club" idea was not started be-
cause the campaign committee did not
expect many generous contributions to
the campaign fund this year. but be
cause the committee had decided that
1t would be better to have a long list
Of small contributors rather than a short
list Of large ones. The plan. he said, is
to be tried out in a few cities. and in
event OF its success II will be extended
all over the country.
Chairman Ralph d. Cole, OF the Re
publican speakers bureau, announced
that Charles w. Fairbanks, candidate
for Vice President, will speak in the
Maine campaign on September and G.
Col Roosevelt, besides his speech at
Lewiston, Ne. on August 81. will speak
at Battle Creek. Mich, on September 30
No other speaking dates for him have
been arranged.

ing that they had the honor of draw
ing first blood in tIe first of the Sc
ries Of international soccer matches
played against an All-Stockholm elev-
en- here yesterday. the American team
had to be content with a tie at one
goal for each side. The contest was
played in the presence of $4,000 per-
sons at the stadium OF the Stock
holm Gymnastic and Sporting Asso-
citation.
For one hour and a quarter the
two sides struggled without scoring,
until finally Heminsley. of Newark,
got by the defense of Almquist, at
goal for Stockholm. The disappoInt-
ment OF the crowd was quickly dis
PEELED, however. for within Ave min
utes the score had been equalized
by a fine shot on the part of Gun
narson, OF the left wing.
Before the game started King Gus
tave made a speech to the Americans
and expressed the hope that they would

FOOTBALL TRAINING
TAKES LITTLE time
Hard and Fast Elevens Produced in
Surprisingly Few Hours of.
Practice.

New York, Aug. I7.-When thousands
of people are thrilled by the struggle
of two college football teams they gath
er from the intricate moves and coun-
termoves and from the high example
of team play that the contestants have
given an unusual amount of their time
to practice in order to reach this ad-
vanced state of development. Not only
do the crowds which view the inter-
collegiate contests reach this conclusion,
but those who attack intercollegia sport
and who seek to reform it claim that
one of its greatest problems is to re-
duce the great amount of time utilized
in the practice of teams for games.
A study of the facts brings to light
the surprising information that college
athletic teams. especially football elev-
ems, which are more highly perfected
than other intercollegiate athletic or
ganizations, are developed in considera-
bly, less time than is generally suppos-
ed. And in some instances not more
than six hours a week is given over to
practice.
All OF this Is result of scientific man
agement on the part of coaches and
trainers. 1t has been found, where it
has been necessary, that splendid teams
are produced in a minimum amount of
time, especially where preliminary train
ing nus ldheh pldCc lne early Idll.
The army, especially, and the navy have
little time TO give to athletic sports at
the two service academies, which Is the
explanation given by their athletic au-
thorities for the failure of these two
teams to show the highly perfected team
play that the big college elevens mas
ter Nevertheless, in 1873 because Prich-
ard and Merrilatt had spent some time
during the summer in forward passing
and receiving. that game brought to light
the fact that in spite of only six hours
a week given to football practice, after
the u. S. Military Academy opened its
doors IN the fall until the game was
played. its team showed the highest
development OF the forward pass and
OF team play of any college eleven in
the country up to that time
Since then this game has been a spec
tacle rather than an example of good
football. because, so Army and Navy
coaches affirm. 1t is impossible to de-
velop a team with varied attack in the
sixty-one hours given to football prac-
tice during the season at West Point
and to little more time devoted to
the same ends at Annapolis Before
accepting this opinion 1t is best to look
at the same situation elsewhere.

SNYDER'S SLAYER
STILL REMAINS AT LARGE

The squad OF central office detectives
investigating the shooting of e-year-old
Allen Snyder Wednesday afternoon in
Randle Park. Congress Heights, from
which the child died nine hours later at
the Casualty Hospital. have failed TO
find clue TO the Identification Of the
man or boy that fired the shot
No one IN the vicinity of the scene can
recall having seen any one in the woods
with gun. The bullet that killed the
child was from a 2-calfber gun The
belief prevails among the police that the
shot was fired by either a man or boy
hunting IN the woods. The search for
the unidentified man or boy will be
further prosecuted
