year of its existence to $S40. .291 90 in

the stupendous sum of $3S016.9l91s. or
in less than 100 years more than 1000
times the income of the first year. Dur
ing that period the society has issued

469 ,665 Testaments and other works,
total publication in the 80 years. for
which the reports are now available, of

attest TO the unreasonable value of this

The prospects of the greatest evex' Yale football team, which was to re- deem Yale's 3ngIorious football sea sons of the past three years, mas re- ceived a severe setback. and now all Yale Is wondering if another big score Harvard victory is to top off season sprinkled again with defeats by smaller college elevens.
 Last fall Yale men witnessed the breaking up of one of the likeliest Football squads ever to candidate for an Eli eleven, when, because of eltgi- bility rules and injuries and illnesses, the majority of it's real stars were lost, and now 1t would seem that a similar fate is about to befal the squad of men who were expected to candidate for this years team.
 When. at the conclusion of the 1915 football season, Yale began talk ing stock of the material for the 1915 team. fthe Blue became very much elated, for the collection of men who were to compose the 1916 squad, as Yale then thought. would include six of the Il regulars of last year, to- gether with the entire freshman squad, and several of the men, whom with LeGore and others, had been on the eligibility list because of scholar ship or other eligibility conditions.
 Most prominent in the latter group were McGrath, the former Exeter and Yale freshman lineman, around whom the Yale coaches expected to build their plays, and Kelley, the for mer Exeter and West Point end, who had transferred from the army school to Yale. But as the 1916 season ap- breaches it finds NTcGrath ineligible for the team, owing to his having dropped out of school for two months after having experienced scholastic difficulties, and it finds Kelley, a lieu been called to the coIors, and which may not be mustered out of service until long after the football season is under way

Shores Pitching Lands Boston in
 First Place.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Boston nosed Chi cago out of first place in the Ameri- can league pennant race today by winning a l2-inning pitchers duel, 8 to 1. Jim Scott and Ernest Shore, the hero of the last worlds series, were pitted against each other and each delivered his best wares in the pinches.
 The worlds champions won the game by punching hits. After one was out Gardner singled in the 12th and E. Scott followed with a safe hit. Cady then singled to left and scored Gardner with the winning run. They made victory sure however, when HoOpers single counted Cady.
 The visitors scored the first run in the third on Cady's double, Shores sacrifice and HOopeT's single. Chica- go tied in the fourth by punching hits, Barry saved the game for the worlds champions in the eleventh E. Collins was on first and on the hit and run Jackson sent a swift bOUnder to- ward center. Collins was rounding second and Barry was running toward the bag, thinking he would catch Col lins stealing. He ran into Jackson s groundeC and threw him out at first. The next man grounded out. Score:

MAGNATES SUPPORT UMPIRES
National League Owners Have Lengthy Conference in New Yorl6-A Tribute Will be Given Bob ErsEe Ebbets Field Next Saturday.

New York, Aug. 9.-NationaI league owners who gathered here today at a special conference which lasted for more than three hours went on rec ord as strongly supporting the league's S umpires. Strenuous action was taken in defense of the arbiters and the support of rules governing the depert- ment of players while on the field.
 At the conclusion of the session President John K. Tener said that the case of Evers and Stallings of the Boston National league club was ''an incident that is closed"
 ''In the furtheranee of sportsman ship coaching by players from the bench must and will be restricted" |" said President Tener. The players are not to be allowed to address re- marks to or about umpires, opposing players or spectators"
 At this meeting the magnates went strongly on record that these rules shall be strictly enforced" Mr. Tener added. President Tener stated that NO consideration was given to a protest signed by hundreds of Boston fans commenting on the decisions of various umpires in Boston. A resO- luttOn was proposed making cOmpul- sory the announcement to scorers of the complete lineup of teams at least five minutes before the beginning of games.
 President Tener was warm in the praise of National league umpires. "The National league has taken off, cial Cognizance of the 9 years ser vice of Umpire Bob Emslie, the league president and next Saturday at Ebbets field, Brooklyn, @ fitting trib- ute will be paid here.

 Points,
 New York, Aug. 9.-A very general disposition to overcome such recent obstacles as professional pressure and unfavorable industrial conditions was evidenced by tOday's market, important stocks, notably rails, advancing two to seven points, with almost equally sub stantial gains in specialties of various descriptions. The rise in rails was led by Reading and had it's inception in rumors that the railway unions had agreed t0 submit their differences to mediation. The poor conditions dis closed by yesterdays government crop report seemed to have been discounted grangers no less than trunk lines and coalers participating in the upswing of the final hour
 United States Steel asserted it's un- wOnted leadership, advancing 1 3-4 on very large dealings, including numer- ous individual lots of GOO to 4200 shares, to S2 5-S, it's best price since January last. Steel and kindred issues ports which dealt on the scarclty of raw materials and the prospects of ad- ditional price advances.

Munitions and equipments, while less conspicuous than in their boom periods, were ap- preciably higher, together with the motor group and other speCialties of a less distinctive character.
 Paper shares were again responsive to the wide demand for manufactured product, International Paper preferred augmentirg it's previous gains of the week with a further advance of four points on the belief that deferred divi- dends will be founded from time to time. United Cigar Stores made a gross gain of four points on recurent rumOrs of an increase of the present dividend rate, and ATexicans hardened on the announcement of the selection of members of the Mexican cOmmis- sion.
