TEAMS STRONG
in BIG GAMES
Eastern Elevens Surprise in
Many Saturday Contests;
Some Results

Philadelphia, Oct. 29. - Develop
ment OF unexpected strength on the
part of several elevens thought to be
outclassed by more prominent rivals
was the feature of the weekend foot
hall play on eastern gridirons. While
there were no form upsets and in
most cases victories were won In ac-
cordance with forecasts, the play of
the vanquished teams surprised both
loyal supporters and opposing combi-
nations.
A missed goal from touchdown was
the margin that defeated Colgate in
it's annual contest with Brown, but
the victory was more impressive than
the score would appear to indicate.
The Brunonians, determined to be re-
venged for the unexpected defeat of
year ago, swept the New York
state collegians off their feet with
the severity of their attack from the
very start of the game, and by q we'll
balanced series of plays, scored in the
first period. Brown held the ad-
vantage thus gained until the latter
portion of the contest. when Colgate
hurled her last ounce of energy
against Browns defense and managed
to batter her way to a touchdown.

and Brown was able to stave OFF

WIN TROPHY IN
RIFLE CONTEST
Harrisburg Club Shooters Run
Up Big Scores in Three
Matches

Winning over the Keystone Rifle
Club, Saturday, the Harrisburg Rlile
Club took permanent possession OF
the handsome silver cup presented by
Cohens Sporting Goods sore. The
winner had a margin of 19 points and
won three straight victories. IL. ..
Greiner, of the Harrisburg Club won
the individual honors, having total
score of 400 out of q possible 45O.
Two matches resulted in rather
one sided victories for the Harrisburg
Rifle Club. On Saturday, however,
the Keystone boys were determined
to have revenge and by steady con-
sistent shooting from start to finish
prevented any runaway on the part
of the Harrisburg shooters. Brisk
cross winds whipping across the
range from various angles made the
shooting more difficult and prevented
any unusually high scores.
These competitive matches have
aroused new enthusiasm among the
members of the two local clubs, and
increased interest in the rifle shoot
ing game. The clubs have been bad
ly handicapped during the present
season by reason of the ordnance de-
parments refusal to fill acquisitions
for arms and ammunition, owing to
the Army's immediate need. How
ever, National Rlfle Association clupS
are receiving assurance that as soon
as practicable, this embargo will be
lifted.
The Harrisburg Rifle Club is about
to open an indoor range at the local
armory for small bore shooting dur
ing the winter months, and expect to
compete with clubs from surround
ing cities, over q course especially
prescribed for such work.
The Harrisburg boys were loud in
the praise of the fine range and
equipment of the Keystone Club,
which is largely composed of en-
ployes of the PENNSYLVANIA railroad,
and were none the less pleased with
the cordial treatment accorded them
while their guests. The toals for the
three matches follow:

CARLISLE TEAM Is BUSY

Carlisle, Pa, Oct. 29.-The Carlisle
Indian football team returned late
Saturday from the victory over Johns
Hopkins with but two men injured
in a way worthy of mention. Leroy
and Hermin Carey sprained should
ers and charley horses and Finch
UNI has insignificant contusions.
Coach Harris will make sure that the
Indians handle the ball frequently
this week. Carlisle's defense was all
that could have been desired and not
so much attention will be paid to de-
fensive tactics during the week. The
work will be largely made up of linn
bering-up exercises. The Mountain
Giants earned their spurs yesterday
and will be given chances right

SCOTCH CITY HAS SIDE LINE
Glasgow Reports Gratifying Success
of Its Municipal Agriculture
Lesson for America.

The individual efforts of many a
city man to convert himself into a far
mer may perhaps remain a subject Of
occasional jest, but Glasgow, in Scot
land, has shown the world that city,
as city, may take up a farming enter
prise and come off with the smile quite
neatly turned t'other way about. By
the reports just returned to Glasgow's
lord provost, the municipality has ac-
crued round $4,000 Of profit from the
products of it's farming.
1t all began in 1879. At that time it
was found that the city refuse destruc-
tor was becoming less and less ade-
Quate to deal with the ever-increasing
volume of the city's refuse-the ashes
from it's furnaces and pots from its
households, the paper from the streets
and all this manner of collectible ma
terial.
So tract of bogland was taken on
a lease and turned over to the uses
of the cleansing department. The ex-
pertinent of filling in these lands
proved so successful that more terri
tory was taken in 1891 and later at
combined cost of about 100000. The
soil was "cold and uncongenial," says
the Glasgow Herald, but it's handicaps
have been gradually neutralized by the
work of the department and by the en-
richment of the land.
According to the report of Glasgow's
farming, 'the produce grown includes
oats, wheat, barley, potatoes, turnips,
hay and grass, and the total amount
reaped during last season is valued at
O,306, thus sum being exclusive of
produce sold, which realized f2,728.
The present hay crop is so abundant
that after the needs of the depart
ment's stud of horses are met, it is
so abundant that there will be a sur
plus for sale of about 500 TONS"
Surely such a record as this should
American cities to see what
they can do after Glasgow's example. |

Dayton's S,.,c Fairgrounds.

The division of parks, which has
charge of this garden work, cleaned up,
graded and prepared for the use of
children a dozen additional play
grounds, so that Dayton, O., town OF
100000 people, now has % play
grounds, whereas the city of Washing
ton, with a population of 100000, has
only 10.
When Dayton children start out for
frolic on Sunday afternoon the
chances are that they go to Island
park, in the Miami river, which flows
through the town. For years and
years the principal item of news in the
Monday newspapers was chronicle
of the drownings at Island park. The
division of recreation of the new city
government has made Island park as
safe as river front can be. A life
saving station has been established.
with fast gasoline launch, thoroughly
equipped for saving life, and manned
by trained lifesaver. Lifesaving sta
tons and lifesaving equipment also
have been provided along the river
bank and a lifesaving crew has been
in the fire department.

NEVER TOO LATE
TO WIN A FLAG
HERO AT 81 STILL HAS THE
PUNCH THAT GETS
RESULTS

TACOMA-W. H. Simpson, 81, who
smashed Colonel Albert E. Joab in
the nose the other day because the
latter, Simpson says, cursed Pres
ident Wilson, today is the proud pos
SCISSOR of big American flag present
ed to him by friends who admire his
swatting ability.
Simpson runs a small grocery
store. Joab, an attorney who recent
ly attracted considerable publicity by
having critic of Washington arrest
ed for libeling the father of our coun-
try, was in the habit of making daily
visits to Simpsons store and critic
,lizing the administration. Simpson
says he stood the TRADE as long as
he could and then showed Joab the
door. The old man started to lead
Joab to the door. Joab continued his
highly colored remarks about Will
son. Simpson landed on Joab's nose
with considerable vigtor. Joab
left the door with speed.
Friends of the aged fighter immed-
lately began to raise purse to buy
Simpson the biggest flag in Tacoma.
Today it is draped in front of the
Simpson store.

TREES MUST BE PROTECTED
Once Attacked by Disease There Is
Little Hope That They Can
Be Preserved.

Trees die from many causes, but few
indeed die from the top downward,
probably far less than 1 per cent. A
tree may starve or die of thirst, but
the great majority die from disease,
few succumb primarily to ravages OF
insects or other pests, though these
materially aid in Fastening death.
Fungous disease is the most potent
factor in the destruction of large trees.
The much-dreaded and fatal disease of
the chestnut now ravaging some east
ern states is one of them. We occa-
sionally find huge oak which sudden
ly dies when apparently in full vigor
and health. After attack no remedial
measures are known.
