CALDWELL OFFERS AMENDMENT TOCOL-

Senator Caldwell led the opposition to the resolution when it was introduced last Friday by Senator Collins, asking for several days to investigate the matter, to see if an investigation was really wanted.

ROBERTSON BLAMED
 FOR SOX VICTORY
Giants and Fans Right Up to the Usual Standard in Offering
 AlibiS For Defeat.

New York, Oct. 15.-Those who have been blaming Harry Sallee and John McGraw for the eleventh hour overthrow of the Giants in Chicago on
 Saturday will have to revise their
 goat list. With the return of the
 New York players to this city last
 night it developed that the blame, as
 they see it, rests with Robertson
 the very Davey who made three more
 hits off Cicotte and was the hitting
 hero of the Giants.
 Some of the players declared that
 Chick GandiTs fly which went for a two base hit in the seventh inning should have been caught easily by Robertson. If Gandil's fly had been gathered in no runs would have been tied in that inning and the game would have had an entirely different complexion. To those up in the press stand it looked as if Gandil's offering ] was a pretty hard drive, but it is true that Robertson was not very spry in playing the ball. He got started late. The players were disinclined to talk
 about the defeat or to censure Robert son, but they rose strongly in defence of Sallee and McGraw for permitting the pitcher to remain in the box after , the Sox had got the gauge of Sims delivery in the seventh. They main- tained that Sallee retained all his 1 'stuff" despite the cold, and with any kind of a break and that catch by Robertson would have weathered the storm.

ORIENTAL FOOTBALL STAR.
Chinaman Displays Wonderful Knowl- edge of Game With Rensselaer, Team

Troy, N. Y, Oct. 15.-The "celestial smile' that is "child like and bland" never failed Pao-Shun Kwan, the only full blooded Chinese quarterback on a college eleven, as he was given his first opportunity to get into the game on the Rensselaer, Polytechnic Instl- tute eleven against New York Univer- sity. Kwan is unusually feet-footed, uses his head in leading the team and is full of pep every minute that he has his football togs on.
 This rare specimen, real Chinese athlete, owes much to the training of his prep school days at Mercersburg Academy in Pennsylvania, and last year made the quarterback position on the freshman eleven of Rensselaer, Poly During the practice this week Kwan has been running the Institute second team and undoubtedly will be given further opportunity to get into other college games before the end of the present season.

McGrath com peted in the 16-pound and 56-pound weight contests, but as he fouled in all of his six chances he failed to gain a point.

Dave Dunn and His Annex Eleven Go
 Down Before Irresistible Attack of
 Providence Team.
 Providence, R. l., Oct. 15.-Out- classed, individually and collectively, from whistle to whistle, the Annex football team of New Haven invaded this city yesterday afternoon, clashed with the husky and aggressive Steam Roller aggregation, and when the smoke of battle lifted from Berkeley Oval, the New Haven footballists had suffered defeat to the tune of to 0. Although after a few minutes of play after the starting whistle sound- ed sending twenty-two husky combat ants into the fray, at which time it was evident even to the Annex play CTS themselves that the final result were merely a question of the size of the score, the New Haven boys bat tied every moment with unf1inching courage, but the local backfield could not be held, and smashed through the visitors line, time and time again for first down.
 By meeting the Steam Roller team here yesterday afternoon, the Annex suffered their first defeat since 1912, when the Washington Glee club cap- tured the city championship from the Four Corner boys, but the beating this afternoon, does not in any way indicate that the New Haveners have not one of the best semi-pro football machines in the east.

LATENT POWER COUNTS
White Sox Prove This in Brilliant Drive That Drags Game From


 Latent power will tell. The White Sox proved that in rather striking fashion in their brilliant victory over the Giants Saturday afternoon. For two games their batting fire had been kept from advancing beyond the smoldering stage by super-effecttve New York pitching. Saturday, under the stress of dire necessity, that ire broke out into a ver1table conhagra- ton and swept Slim Sallee and the like so much chaff.
 After Reb Russell's wretched start and poor fielding had given the New York team commanding lead the White Sox, with their back to the wall, had to organize an attack of brutal force They had done it re- peatedly through their American League campaign, and they felt they could do it again. They did.
 The Sox have been famous this sea- son for their ability to come back when things looked blackest. In their last series with Cleveland the Indians belted one or two Chicago pitchers off the mound each day, but terrific slugging by the Sox enabled them to clean up on the series. Sat- urday's game was just such an affair. The punch of the Sox batting order Eddie Collins, Jackson and Felsch- got started, and their slams covered a multitude of their teams fielding sins.
 The Giants displayed remarkable form reversal in their games in New York when after appearing on the run they dazzled the Sox by evening the series with two shutout victories. However, even that comeback did not approach the comeback of the Sox on Saturday.

WATERBURY WAS EASY
Brass City Eleven Smothered by Cap tain McCristy's Hustlers, Score IS to O-Moorhead to Aid Fund.

That New Britain High school is again represented by a fast football eleven, was shown Saturday afternoon at St. Mary's playgrounds, when the Waterbury High school team went down to defeat, score 48 to 0. The work of the home gridders was a revelation to their followers, and their stock for winning another champion ship took big boost. There was fin ish to every play made by the locals and the clever handling of Coach Bearce is beginning to show in the team.
 The locals piled up 8 points in the first quarter when Hubbard ran the length of the field for touchdown and Captain McCristy also went over for six points. Dyson kicked one goal, a touchdown and safety, netting eight points. In the third quarter the locals slacked up slightly, securing but one touchdown, but in the clos ing chapter, they piled up twenty points through three touchdowns and two goals. The work of Hubbard, Burns, Hagerty and Johnson excelled for the victors while Johnson of the Brass city team played a strong game.
 Physical Director Moorhead an- nounced today that he will assist the local committee in securing funds tor athletic accessories for the local boys at Aver, Mass, in every way. MT Moorhead states that he is willing to contribute a percentage of the re- ceipts from the annual Hartford.NeN Britain High school game and also l the full receipts of-tne game being ] arranged with the High schoo alumni. Further MT. MOorhe ac stands ready to contribute from the receipts from the basketball season and lend in any manner possible his support toward making the life of tfe , boys in camp a pleasant one.
