A Tract for the Autumn.

''Who's who in America" gives Her bert Welsh's age as sixty-five. This age is not, however, great enough to prevent a man from taking a long walk, as MT. Welsh may have re- fected in pondering the perform day last June Herbert Welsh set out from his house in Chestnut Hill, near Philadelphia, to walk to his summer cottage on the shores of Lake Sun apee, N. H., where John Hay once spent happy seasons. MT. Welshs walk about five hundred miles. He crossed the Delaware at New Hope. and the Hudson at Newburgh, and the Connecticut at Springfield; his journey took him through Worcester and Bos- ton and Lowell and Nashua. Mir. Welsh has been well known for good many years as an advocate of justice for the American Indian; as a student of history and politics; as a worker for better civic government. No sense of self-1mportance kept him, however, in the course of his long walk from talking on many matters with many men; he was impressed, he tells us, with the strength of Presi- dent Wilson with the farmers of the states he traversed This is not the essential lesson of his trip, however; 1t seems to us that the energy of the walker is rather more to the point. Mr. Welsh comments upon the "phy- sical health and mental calm" in duced by his long promenade. These are two great boons-and they are within the reach of practically any, body who has two sound legs.

RACES TIGHTEN IN
 BOWLING LEAGUES
City League Teams Are Closely
 BunChed for Positions

Consistent work on the lanes, main ship in the City Bowling league, the boys cleaning up the scheduled games during the past week in decisive fashion. The fight for second place between the Annex and the Tigers Is attracting attention, the teams being tied with 12 victories and defeats each. The Rangers and the South Ends are also in a tie for next position, with the Wanderers and liar poons trailing and the Pastimes being hopelessly out of the running. Rogers continues to lead the procession for individual honors with an average Of 102 with his assistant Bill Brennecke in the runner-up position with 1O1. Eddie Anderson and Johnny Wright are tied for third position with an average of 100. Sixteen other mem bers of the league are within few points of the century figure In aver age the lowest of the collection belng rated at 95. Brennecke with l3o leads in high single score, c. Larson with 346 tops the total strins mark. The Wanderers although not setting the league on fire by their winning habit have set up some figures that are keeping the other teams on the jump to beat them, with 541 for high single team score and high total of 1523.
 The tool room trio of the Skinner Chuck company holds the first place hcnors in that circuit, with seven vic- tories and two defeats. This aggre- gation has also garnered the high total and high single score honors to date, and Kahms a, member of the team is in possession of the individual honors for the same.
 The standings, averages and schedule for the coming week are as follows:

course, one of Cavanaugh's best ground gathers, Duhamel, was out or the game until the third period, but almost every feature of Dartmouth s play was disappointing. Fumbl1ng was very costly. Theilscher, usually an accurate man at handling the ball, fun bled disastrously when he had carried the pigskin to the goal line and a touchdown was within his grasp.
 It wasn't until the third period of play on Saturday that the Cornell at tack organized compactly enough to drive back the stubborn Bucknell eleven. The Ithacans went up against a sttffer proposition than they figured on. The end play of the Cornell wings, Ryerson and Zander, was on encouraging feature of Cornell's play, as was the great kicking of Shriver- ick, who promises to be a worthy suc- cessor of Charley Barrett at quarter Cornell showed no new features of at tack, as the new plays in which the team has been rehearsed are being saved for Harvard on Saturday.
 The Navy got good try-out against the stiff opposition of West Virginia, and gave the followers of the Middies reason to believe that this years eleven is a big improvement over last years team. The Army ran wild against the weak opposition put up by Trinity

YANKEE ATHLETES
 IN NEAR CLEANUP
SCandinaVianS Win But One Event
 ~, at ChriStiania

Christiania, Oct. 2S. via London, oct. 22.-The American track and z field team met with complete success at the meeting with Scandinavian athletes here Saturday, the visitors, 4 for the first time on the tour, win-V ming every event in which they com peted. There was by no means af great turnout to see the Americans on their initial appearance in this city, but that was largely due to the \ indictment weather. The day was dark and gloomy, the temperature below freezing, and the track frozen hard so that really first class performances were impossible.
 Under these discouraging circum- stances the small band of Americans made fine showing. Joe Loomis of Chicago was not suited by the dis tance of the sprint. which was at i 200 meters, so he confined his atten- tion to the high jump. In this event he turned the tables on KullerStrand, the Swede, who defeated him on the opening day at Stockholm. By clear ing six feet on the frosty ground, the height at which he was beaten a week SASO, LOOlllS CdiTleu OIL the pTlz6 | from Kullerstrand, while Murray, the versatile Californian, was third. Andy Ward of Chicago justified his l clubmates in sending him over as an
 independent member of the team by
 winning the 200-meter race, in which 1 the Americans swept the prize list 1 Simpson of the University of Missouri 1 was second and Fred Murray third l Ted Meredith won his second first prize of the tour by taking the 400- meter event. He also won at this distance in Stockholm, and it's evil Gent that in his present form he is
 better suited by the shorter race than by the 800 meters. In relay racing
 the American sprinters have proved
 superior to the Scandinavian com binations, ana again today they
 romped away with the relay race at 1 200 meters.

SUNDAY FOOTBALL RESULTS.
Iisers Defeat Union A. c. Eleven De- cfSive1y at Traut's Park-WiH Play at Same Gridiron Every Sunday.


 The Union A. c. football eleven of Naugatuck went down to 20 to defeat administered by the Tigers A. c. of this city yesterday afternoon at Trauc's park, before a good sized crowd. The boys from the Rubber Town put up @ stubborn resistance but the fierce onslaughts of the home team on the line, caused the visitors to crumple up and three touchdowns were the results. Captain Wright, Grabeck, Fresen and Schroedel were the individual stars for the winners. The Tigers plan to play at home every Sunday, giving the local followers of football the best that can be secured for entertainments. Those who are acquainted with the efforts of the management to have teams that are of equal ability of the locals, feel con- iident that the coming attractions will he pleasing to those who attend. While nothing definite has been ar ranged as to the opponent for next Sunday, it is possible that the All- Southington eleven, one of the crack teams of the state will be the attrac ton. The Tigers have been greatly strengthened since last season with the acquisition of number of play CTS from the Pawnees and other teams, and are now ready to make a strong bid for the state championship hOnors.
 With the ball on the one-yard line, time was called in the Annex-All- Southington game yesterday in the latter town thereby keeping the score down to 12 to with the locals on the lond end. The dashing work of Beyer was responsible for the vic- tory of the home boys.

JaCkSOn'S Touch Break

About five years ago the Bro ooklyn club came within short grab of bagging Joe Jackson
 What a difference to that athlete a regime in the National league would have made!
 For six years now Jackson has been finishing second and third in the bat ting order with averages ranging be- tween 1850 and 4OS
 His average for the six years is about .37O. Yet with all this he has never led the league
 With this same average tossed into National league ranks Jackson would have been twenty laps beyond all comp mpetition-hailed as one of the great stars of the game.

 Western football bumped into jolt at the start, when Illinois fell before Colgate, and Michigan will need a fine team to overcome the deficit. For the Wolverines face two of the best elevens in the land when they meet Syracuse and Cornell, where unless Col F. H. Yost has high grade ma terial he will make little headway. For no ordinary machine is going to make much headway against either.

Vegetarians point to Bernard Shaw
as an example of what can be done on
a vegetable diet. Shaw is a prolific in
his line. perhaps the most wonderful
man of this age. He lives on vege-
tables and does not use tea, coffee,
alcohol or tobacco. But on the other
hand Tom Moore, Lord Byron, Bobbie
Burns and Edgar Allen Poe were heavy
eaters of meats when they had the
price and could also drink several men
drunk when they had the price. They
will all live in history when Shaw is
forgotten. Their writings are immor-
tai, not because they were heavy eaters
or drinkers but because nature en-
dowed them with genius enough to
STAMP their footprints on the sands Of
time" You can prove almost anything
from any angle and method of living.
