CANYONS RUNNING
 FEAT STILL HOLDS
 PLACE ON RECORD BOOK

In these days of constant improve ment in all forms of athletic sports a record that has stood for almost thir- ty years is a decided rarity. Yet it was just twenty nine years ago today, Nov. 8, 1888, that P. Cannon hung up a professional running record that still holds it's place in the dope books. Cannon's memorable feat was. per formed at Glasgow, Scotland, where he ran four miles in nineteen minutes and twenty-five and two-nfths sec onds, making new records for all dis tances over two miles.
 Cannon covered three miles in four teen minutes and nineteen and half seconds. At the three and a half mile mark his time was seventeen minutes and two and one-fifth seconds. It re- mained for an amateur, A. Ehrubb, the English runner, to. beat the pro feSsiona1 record. In 1904 Shrubb cev- cred, four miles ip nineteen minutes and twenty-three and two-fifths sec- onds, beating Cannen's time by two SC conds. It is noteworthy that this feat was also performed in Glasgow. On this occasion Shrubb also b sat a professional running record that has now stood for over half century by
 
 utes and thirty-three and two-fifths seconds.
 The professional record for this distance, hung up in 1863 by J. White, an English runner, was twenty four minutes and forty seconds. At the six mile mark, however, Shrubb fell behind Whites ancient record; Whites time was twenty-nine minutes and fifty seconds, and Shrubb's twenty nine minutes and fifty-six and two- fifths seconds. White covered seven miles in thirty-four minutes and for ty-five seconds, and Shruhb took nine teen and three-fifths second longer to make the same distance.
 At eight, nine and ten miles, heW- ever shrubb beat the professional rec ord made by W. Cummings ia Eng land in 1885. Another professional record that has withstood the assaults of over half century is that for the twelve mile distance, covered in one hour, two minutes and two and a half seconds in England ip 1863 by l.. Bennett, better known as .'Deerfoot.'' 7 S. Thomas, an English runner. who was an amateur. did the daaen miles i1 one hour, two minutes and forty three seconds in 1ss2.

Leo Flynn, managers of Jim Cofey and 'tKnockout' Bill Brennan, who are to clash at the Harlem s. C. to- morrow night, have purchased $350 belt which will be handed to the win ner of the big heavyweight bout.
 .'The fact that the sport ends here on the 15th,' said Billy Gibson, sand as Coffey and Brennan are the fore most Irish heavyweights in the ring today. 1t seems proper to offer the belt"

PITT ELEVEN FACES. DANGER OF DEFEAT

Reports on the condition of various leading football teams develop the fact that both Pittsburgh and Penn sJlvanias are suffering severe slumps, while Dartmouth is Keeping at normal and Michigan and Washington and Jefferson never looked better. This would indicate for Saturdays games that Penn is not in very good shape for the battle with Dartmouth, that Pitt may get a beating from Wash ington and Jefferson and that Cornell is in for a trouncing from Michigan.
 Pittsburgh was not forced to try very hard against Westminster last Saturday, but at that Glenn Warmers eleven did not give an inpr ressive ex hibition. Weirman, Westminster g quarterback, ran wild against Pitt and made so much trouble even with out interference that one of the Pitts burgh writers suggests that he would be mighty good man to have in the Pitt back field" In the olden days no sooner said than done, but things are different at Pitt now.
 While Pitt has been forced to de- velop by leaps and bounds to meet the strength of the various oppon- ents, Washington and Jefferson has been working with only the Pitt game in view. When they meet on Satur- day look out for Sol Metzger's team. McCreight of w. and J. not only is a great back and forward passer, but he leads the East in kicking field goals. with four. He has carried over four touchdowns and kicked six goals from touchdowns for total of AZ points.
 Pennsylvania began to hit a slump against lafayette last Saturday, when its game fell to pieces in general tendency to tumble. There was little improvement against Pennsylvania Military College last Tuesday.
 Michigan's scoring 50 points against Kalamazoo and yielding the Kazooers only one first down further estaib- hshed the fornidability of Hurry Up Yost's combination. A friend who saw the. Michigan team in action against Nebraska declares that those who are talking about Michigan's ri- valling the famous point a minute machines and comparing it with the teams of Heston's day are permitting their enthusiasm to run away with them.
 Michigan's teams had been disap- pointments for so many seasons that the sight of a real eleven has un- strung some of the natives at Ann Arbor. However, after what Michi- gan did to Nebraska we are willing to concede that Cornell will get a whipping on Saturday that will ex- ceed the 20 to beating the Ithacans suffered in 19i2-the worst they yet have received from Michigan.

Exeter-Andover Even.

Less than two weeks remain before Andover and Exeter will oppose each other. Coaches Frank Quinby and Harry Vaughn have much yet to do with their squads. Judging by the games the teams have played they are about evenly matched.
 Some are inclined to favor Exeter slightly, but the New Hampshire eleven does not rank with it's team of a year ago, and the same can be said of Andover. Both have lost stars now in the service of the govern ment.

HOVER THE TOP :-:

With Gene McCann Topped off the New London clubs pay roll, as war measure, (Gene was always a rather expensive luxury) the problem of naming his successor is up to Morton H. Plant. The millionaire owner of the club is receiving numerous tips from fans and baseball writers, but 1t seems that just now Otto Deinninger has the inside track.
 Otto has made application to Plant himself, and received immediately personal letter from the millionaire magnate in reply The letter stated that the owner was not yet ready to hire manager-wou1d wait until the season drew a little closer, and the situation developed a little clearer but held out hopes of a, favorable de- cision to the applicant in case pros- poets for the 1918 season banned out we'll.
 Deinninger is well known to local fans, having played with the Bridge port club for the greater part of two years, acting as captain part of the time. He will have the best wishes of the boys around here if he succeeds in landing the berth.
 However, the magnates' joyous an- ticipation of opening day next year will not be spoiled by income tax col lectors-there is no money in base ball.
 The fans may rest assured there is no money in baseball; the magnates admit it,
 Which leads one to believe that the game is continued merely as a patri- otic and charitable institution, for the benefit of the players and patrons of the good old sport.

o'LEARY WANTS CHANGE.

Nat Rogers, who has made Bridge port his home for the past two years, dropped into our sanctum yesterday afternoon to insure small sized write up for Artie O'Leary, of New York, who wants to box in the semi-fna1 at the next show here, Nov. IS.
 Artie is brother of Young O'Leary, who at one time fought and defeated, we are informed, Johnny Coulon, Frankie Burns, Tommy O'Keefe, Mon te Attell and a number of other top- notch boys
 Artie himself is fresh from 1o- round victory over Bushy Graham at the Military A. c. In New York. We lamped several newspaper clippings of the fight, which assure not only that Artie was really the victor, but also that he put up a rattling exhi- bition, and forced the fighting all the distance.
 @ Modesty is one of O'Learys virtues. He would come here for two round trip tickets. and $50 in hand, and would meet any boy the matchinakers might pick out for him, preferably Billy DeF'oe, Rector, Hughes, Mo Aul1ffe or Eggers.

How dear to our hearts is the steady
subscriber
Who pays in advance at the birth
of each year;
Who lays down the money and does
it quite gladly,
And casts round the office a halo
of cheer.
He never says: "Stop it; can not
afford it,
"I'm getting more journals than l
can read"
But always says: "Send it! all read
ers like it
In fact, we all think it a help and
need"
How welcome his check when it
reaches our sanctum;
How it makes our pulse throb; how
it makes our hearts dance!
We outwardly thank him; we inward
ly bless him
The steady subscriber who pays in
advance.

HIGHER PRICES.

Something in the neighborhooG of fifteen billions odd will be appro- priatcd by the special sess.on oG Congress for war purposes
 This is simply another way ot saving that values to that amount will be bought by the United States government.
 Obviously it is impossible to in tensify the demand for articles mGde anywhere by fifteen billion dollar buy without exciting a sharp increase in prices.
 Moreover those billions will be spent in paying for necessities for the greater part, but quite regard less Of this an immense purcnase in one line invariably, owing to the industrial ramiflcations, results in sympathetic increase in all other lines.
 it is safe to argue too that this immense extension of governmental appropriations for immediate needs will be followed by still further increase in all prices. IL is an in- tcusitcatiou of the demand with -he supply rmainlas practically the same and in consequence IL, prices will most certainly nse also.
 1t may not b. that these pri.es  vii! be immediately felt; put that the increase will take place is wish out doubt moral certainty. ' It is exceedingly dihialt to ais cover how this continuous soaring f nri"es can be regulated, It gan hardly be done with the aid of gov crHmtnt regulation although an aI- most supcratijous regard for the powels of government regulation is observable in many quarters.
 One certain remedy would br the taxation of unimrrove6 prop F. ty and vacant lands CT lands helt l by saaculators. and a strictly sey- ere tax upon ronts. on al igcramen- tat.ye sralc.

will later on if they proceed to eX- tremes of strike be considered unpatriotic They will then observe that the places will be filled where possible by women who will suffer the distress of economic conditions.
 1t is practically the same every where. There seems to be a genuine belief in a a good many quarters that what has to be done it to do everything else but concede the workers their demands and that by denouncing strikes and industrial unrest as pro-German or I.

cial methods are puzzled over the ability of Germany to finance this war without any apparent trouble. The secret is to be found ill the fact that Germany forced her ere dit upon men and corporations while taking care to prevent any gold being exported.
 Yet even now there is beginning to be seen that this fallaCious method will not last for ever. To make one loan pay the interest On the past as Germany has done is one that leads into quantities of in debtedncss must ultimately become unpayable.
 Only the other day Zurich i'm porters and exporters were warned that they would have to accept Ger man notes in marks payable three montls after the settlement of the war hereafter. This came like q bolt from the blue, for the German government watched quite tireless- lv over the maintenance of it's for eign credits UP to this.
 It is significant that this was done upon a government order. but when German merchants, industrial chiefs and finance nagnates have hitherto sought to explain policy was regarded with suspicion, they simply said it was a government action.
 Tn Germany by a system of one loan paying the interests on th previous loan and the arrangement of those loans in well arranged system of almost geometrical pro- grcssion, the government has been able to pile up indebtness with little trouble. But it has notwithsand- the pile of single tax, the immense income tax, the tax on rents and profits. sent prices sky high for even the simplest commodities. nc German system was Jund to blow up sCner or later.
