Football gave way to baseball yes terday. The Harvard eleven practicec in the morning so the players could go to the Red Sox-Brook1yn contest in the afternoon.

One of the goats of the series was Outfielder Zach Wheat of Brooklyn. His batting average for the series was .211 and his fielding and base running were very bad.

Those who go from this city to- morrow to see the Yale-Lehigh foot ball contest should remember that the game will be played on the old field. The change is due to the fact that rehearsal of the Yale pageant will be held in the Bowl.

LIGHTNING SHOTS AT H SPORTING TARGETS F
May Stop Series.

Will the National league magnates favor the abolishment of the worlds series? After the defeats handed to the older league in worlds serie- Con tests in recent years it is said some of the National magnates think it would be better to refrain from meet ing the American leaguers in the fall struggle. These persons say it injures the prestige of the league when the organization is defeated on all sides. The National club in addition to losing the big series were defeated in the St. Louis and Chicago city series.
 Another reason why critics advo- cate the termination of the series tenn porarily at least is the fear that the growing spirit of commercialism will injure the game. The players and magnates have displaysd so much greed over gate receipts that the ques- tion of playing ability has at times been cast into the background.
 Football Tomorrow.
 Tomorrow may bring some more upsets in the football world. Yale is expected to beat Lehigh but Prince ton will undoubtedly have hard time with Tufts, which beat Harvard last Saturday. Harvard will take on North Carolina, a team Princeton has al- ready vanquished. Pennsylvania, which has been doing fine work under the direction of Bob Folwell, will meet Swarthmore.
 There is some talk of signing Young Rector of New York as Young Nc- Auliffe's opponent in the bout to be held at the Casino November g. This would be good card. Fans recall the previous bout between these two as one of the best local battles in many seasons. Rector won that night but McAuiffe has improved

Larry Gardner will go down in his tory as the home run king of the 1916 series. His two circuit blows in Brooklyn put the rollers under the Dodgers. They were not accidental either, for Gardner was the only mem Der of the Red Sox to hit 300 during the past season.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-10-13

The New York Sun tells about a Philadelphia newspaperman attending the series who asked a Boston scribe to explain why Duffy Lewis of the Red Sox isn't a 300 hitter. "I guess because he isn't in the National League was the reply.

After the final game Manager Car rfgan of the Red Sox and his wife de- parted on an automobile trip. He repeated his determination to retire as manager. Carrigan is said to be worth $75,000 and his wife has more money than that. What does he care about worlds series chicken feed of $4,000?

No man should draw a pistol who
dares not shoot. The government that
shakes its est frst and its ringer after
ward fails into contempt. Our diplo-
macy has lost its authority and indu-
ence because we have been brave In
words and irresolute In action. Men
may say that the words Of our diplo-

say that our inactIOn was justified, but
no man can say that both were wise

have said that this government lost
the moral forces OF the world by not
truly interpreting the spirit " tho
American democracy.
The American democracy stands for
something more than beef and cotton
and grain and manufactures; stands
for something that cannot be measured
by rates of exchange and does not rise
or fall with the balance Of trade. The
American people, Informed by their
own experience that Is confirmed by
their observation of international life,
have come to see that the Independence
Of nations, the liberty of their peoples,
| Justice and humanity cannot be main
tained upon the complaisance, the good
nature, the kindly feeling Of the strong
toward the weak; that real independ-
ence, real liberty, cannot rest upon suf-
ferance; that peace and liberty can be-
preserved only by the authority and
observance Of rules OF national con.
duct founded upon the principles Of
| justice and humanity; only by the es.
| adjustment Of law among nations. re
sponsive to the enlightened public Opin-
| ion of mankind. TO them liberty
means not liberty for themselves alone,
but for all who are oppressed. Justice
means not justice for themselves
alone, but a shield for all who are
weak against the aggression OF the
strong.
| To this people the invasion of Bel
GUM brought shock Of amaZement
and horror. II the public opinion Of the
world was to remain silent upon that,
neutral upon that, then all talk about
peace and justice and international law
and the rights Of man, the progress of
humanity and the spread Of liberty is
idle patter mere weak sentimentality;
then opinion is powerless and brute
force rules and will rule the world. If
no difference is recognized between
right and wrong then there are no
moral standards. There come times in
the lives OF nations as Of men when to
treat wrong as II It were right is trea-
! son to the right.

"Too Proud 10 Fight"

The other event was the strange and
unfortunate declaration Of the presi-
dent In a public speech In Philadelphia
the fourth day after the sinking Of
the Lusirnnis that "a man may he too
proud 10 light" Whatever the Aus
trian aniba ssador was in fact told by
the secretary Of state. the impression
which he reported was supported by
the events which followed. Whatever
the president dld mean, his declaration,
made Ia public at that solemn time,
amid tue horror aud mourning OF all
our people over the murder Of their
children, was accepted the world over
az presenting the attitude OF the Amer
lean government toward the protection
OF the life and liberty OF American
citizens IA the exercise OF their just
rights. and throughout the world the
phrase too proud 10 fight became .
bywOrd OF derlsion and contempt for
the government or the United States.

We had occasion to notice

We had occasion to notice
this week that M. Phillip Conrad
has had a force Of men setting
ur the machinery in his new rice
mill at the corner Of Ann and
WASHINGTON streets. 1t will be
remembered last sumHlrr. Nr
Conrad purchased a number OF
city lots in that locality and
erected q medium >izcd building
for his rice mill. This has been
recently, somewhat enlarged. au;t
now all Of the machinery that
was IL his mill on the East Side
Of the Terhc IS removed TO his
own property. The mill viii
have capacity Of two hundred
and twenty-five barrels per day
and everything will be in reali-
ness for this years crop. Be
sides being a mill owner. Mr..
Conrad and his FIRMLY of brothers
are really the biggest and most
successful rice planters in our
Parish. We certainly hope our
rice farmers and other business
men will give Mr.. Conrad all Of
the encouragement that will be
necessary to make his Plant a
raEing industry. 1t is enter
pri>es such as Mr.. Conrad is
building. that helps to make our
country a success and if he Sc
cures the necessary encourage
ment here. it is more than prob
able it will lead to others malinv
investments along industrial
lines. n
