MEREDITH WANTS RECORD.
Great Splinter Believes He Can Lower
Tabcr's Mark For Mile.

While Norman s. Taber refuses to
try for the $50 yard record, task he
contemplated shortly after he created
new figures for paced mile, comes n
declaration from Ted Meredith of his
ability to lower the renowned Taber's
i minutes IL 50 seconds mark at the
national championships in Newark,
y. j., Sept. 8.
Having ended his college athletic ca
recr in n blaze of glory by achieving
a phenomenal double victory at the in
tercollegiate championships, the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania champion is
determined 10 add the mile to his list
Of records before he hangs up his shoes
for all time.
Competing for the Mcadowbrook
club Of Philadelphia, Ted expects to
startle the athletic world by racing the
mile In 4 minutes u seconds fiat
From no lesser authority than Law
son Robertson. Meredith's personal
coach and trainer. was the fact made
known that the human dynamo had
his heart set on accomplishing the
above feat
While he is about it Meredith will
| attempt to duplicate the 1912 perform
ances of John Paul Jones by starting
In two races and trying for new rec
ords In both. If conditions arc perfect
on the day the champs are held Mere
dith will appear in a quarter as well as
the mile. Most prominent of the quar-.
] ter milers who are expected to start
against Ted is Binga DESMOND, the
| Chicago colorcd tlier.
Recently DESMOND cqualed Mcredith's
II % seconds record. around ono turn
for n quarter Of a mile. Naturally
athletic enthusiasts want to see the
two pitted against each other and de
terminc who is the better at this par
ticular distance. Meredith is willing
and so is DESMOND This race alone
will lie worth going miles to witness
Prediction is made at this early tim,
that the winner will be clicked II

DOUBLE WIN GIVES
GIANTS THE RECORD
Twenty two Games Without Defeat -
Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Braves
All Have Fighting Chance

The Giants did it. BY winning two
games yesterday from ST. Louis they
went % games without defeat, one of
them being tie game. This breaks
all present day records of consecutive
victories, for the Providence team in
1884 won 20 games and had held the
record from that day to yesterday.
The Giants have yet two more days
to entertain the st. Louis team and
then face the Braves at the Polo
grounds Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day. Brooklyn will be entertaining
the Phillies then. Admitting that the
Giants are going great guns and show
no signs of stopping, for a few days
yet the Giants are likely to have great
er difficulty in beating the Braves than
they will have in defeating Brooklyn
at Brooklyn the last four days of the
season, Oct. ., 3, and 5. On those
last days the Braves will be at Phila-
delphia, and on those last four days
probably will depend the ultimate dis
position of the National league pennant
All is not yet lost regardless of whether
one roots for Brooklyn, Philadelphia
or the Braves.

How To Stop Strikes.

Compulsory investigation before
strike or lockout must be regarded as
a necessary expedient which can be
developed into something much better.
1t helps the weaker side in contro-
versy. On railroads where the men
are powerful, it will do much to neu-
tralize their striking power. In in
dustrles where the men are weak it
enables them to mobilize public opin-
ion on their side. 1t is not z slavery.
1t is regulation of one groups power
III order to give the consumers chance
to organize their influence. But per
manent solution of the wage problem on
railroads it is not. The real solution
IS to forestall conflict not by ad hoe in
Ivestigation, but by continuous fixing of
wages year in and year out. This more
radical solution is. not feasible now, and
so liberals can welcome compulsory pub
llclty as first step towards the estab
lishment of federal commission to dea
organically with the wage question:

Demand For New Ships.

The demand for new ships from the
yards of the Delaware river is so
great that the keel has Just been laid
at the yards of the new Pennsylvania
Shipbuilding company for seven
thousand ton oil-tanker, although only
part of the ways had been constructed.
The company is constructing four ways
and expects to begin actual work on
ships in each of them before the WAYS
are completed.
The Pennsylvania is one of the new
shipbuilding concerns that have sprung
up along the Delaware since the war
started. 1t has acquired twenty five
acre tract at Gloucester, on the New
Jersey side of the river. Henry Lys-
holm, formerly Of the New York Ship
building company of Camden, is gen
eral manager of the new plant.
Other new companies along the Della
ware are the Sun Shipbuilding com
pany of Chester, and the Chester Ship
building company. The Sun company
will lay the first keel on October 10.
It's yard will be among the largest IN
the country with five shipways. The
Sun company will devote itself exclu-
sively to standardized vessels, and, ac-
cording to the engineers, there will be
launching every month when the yard
! is operating to capacity.

Immense Potato Crop.
(Nergennes Enterprise.)

While the potato crop in many see
.tions of Vermont is below the average,
and the price pretty well up i'll consc
qucnce, there will be enough to 90
around. Word comes from Maine that
Aroostook county, the big potato sec
ton of New England, viii produce
this year, if not the biggest, the finest
crop ever. The prices are almost I'M
heard of for the time of year, the far
mers getting from So to $2.75 per bar
rel. At least % per cent of the Cob
blers have already been dug and
shipped, which means that growers
who want the Cobblers for seed will
have to buy early and pay handsomely
for the seed or go without. Most OF
the mountain varieties are not ready
Many of the fields will yield 80 bar
rels to the acre. The yield for the
entire country will be somewhat below
that of last year. It should be remem
bered that the price of potatoes is
always more or less of gamble
Many farmer who has held out for {
high price has had to feed his crop t,
the pigs or cart them onto the land fo
| fertilizer.

Smith of the Braves made four singles,
each of which drove in run.
They say that if TTcinie Wagner is
not manager of the Red Sox next gear,
always assuming that Carrigan is really

hit games, two three-hit games and one
six-hit game, three of them being shut
outs.

Yesterday afternoon. Capt. Edward
Moran was nursing a badly liberated
