NEED BIG GAME
T0AROUSEPEP
Clash Between Army and
Navy Only Can Restored En-
thusiasm at Annapolis.

Annapolis. Md, Oct. 6-Nothing
less than permission to play the
game against the eleven OF the West
Point Military Academy is likely to
restore enthusiasm to the midship-
mems football season. Two games
is all that remains Of the schedule,
West Virginia Wesleyan. North Caro-
lima State and Lebanon Valley hav-
ing notified the local management
within twenty-four hours of each
other that they could not keep their
dates. Lebanon Valley was to start
the season Saturday. North Caro-
lima was to play October u. and Wes-
leyan on October 49, The only games
remaining are with Virginia Military
Institute, on October 26, and with
Trsinus on November l6.
Some experts are saying that the
Navy should have the best team in
the East this year. but Navy people
are not inclined to feel pufred up un-
less they have some chance OF show
ing II. It IL also reported that West
Point has fine prospects, and is find
ing It impossible to get games, just
as the Naval Academy. The conclu-
sion OF the matter is that the mid
shipmen and cadets are the natural
opponents OF each other. They are
keeping open the date-November q
and it is felt that the game can be
played under conditions which will
rnt do violence to any OF the princi-
los that should govern athletics in
var times. RumOr here has it that
Secretary Daniels is not averse to
the game, but that the trouble lies
with the War Department
Two feasible suggestions have been
made. One is that the game should
be played In New York or Philadel-
phia, with paid admission. and that
the proceeds should go to the Red
Cross. The other is that It should
be played in Philadelphia and be
strictly an invitation or card affair.
The student bodies hardly expect
permission to leave their stations to
see the game, and, of course, the rail-
roads would not do anything in the
way Of special trains. Certainly. il
the game is played in Philadelphia,
the players could leave the acade-
mics, play the game and get back
the same day.
While the Navy mana agement Is
doing everything 1t can to get worthy
opponents at Annapolis the outlook is
dark, and only the prospects of the
Army game can shed any light.

BASEBALL CAREER COSTS
WEEGEMAN OVER 81, ,OO0, 600

Bssebalrs adage is that the
the long run. II it is true then
Charley Weeghman should have
come out on the big end of the
world series, for Charley has been
one of the hard luck guys of the
game. Woe has been his lot ever
since that day in 1914 when Jim
Gilmore influenced him to inject a
few dollars" into the financial
artery of the diamond frolic as a
Federal League hacker.
Cholly was going along In his
care-free, happy way. amassing a
nice young fortune in the beanery
business, when Gilmore doomed UP
in the winter offiing of 1913-1914
with:
Charley. I've got a swell prop
osition for you"
'Unbosom yourself" commanded
Cholly.
I'm back OF the Federal League
and it's gonna be a grand and glor-
ious success. I'm gonna let you in
on it. All you need to do is to
cough up $4,000, and for that I'll
give you the controlling interest in
the Chicago team"
'Twenty-six thousand dollars-is
that all?" ventured Cholly.
Just that-and nothing more"
quoth Jimmy.
"Oh, well. $4,000 isn't much-and
it's worth that to get my name in
the paper as a baseball magnate," ="
replied Cholly.
And then Cholly unbosomed his
NhaRL hnnLr ~ Rhar.sn4
shekels from his bank account.
Tempus fugited, as tempus will
do. and 1t brought Nemesis Jimmy
Gilmore busting back to weegh-
man with this utterance:
IF we can get Joe Tinker the
league is made. He's on the outs
right now with organized baseball.
Grab him"
What will it cost?" asked weegh-
man.
II don't kpw-but whatever Il
costs the price will be cheap" re-
sponded Gilmore.
Weeghman grabbed Tinker-at q
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Urged on by Gilmore. he grabbed
every basebalIer he could grab. He
became afflicted with grabitis-a
very costly ailment
When the Feds blew" weegh-
man said: II thought the venture
would cost me only about s26,OOO.
Before the end came I had spent
half a million"
One would suppose that weegh-
mans dip into the national pastime
through the medium of the Federal
League might have given him FROST
bitten pedals. But it didn't. The
taste of Fed baseballing made him
hungry for the real thing. So when
his Gilmore league was reduced to
sad memories he decided he wanted
the Cubs.
Five hundred and fifty thousand
dollars is the price for the con-
trolling interest" spoke up Charles
Taft.
Il gotcha," said weeghman.
And the deal was put through in
the winter of 1855 whereby
weeghman and his pals became the
owners OF the Cubs.

HUNDREDS ATTEND
 OPENING OF STORE

Between 2,000 and 2,500 people, i'm cluding numerous out of town friends of the two proprietors, attended the formal opening of the ConnorS-Hal- 1oran store. the fourth of the Con- nors chain of clothing stores, last evening. This store, which before the new partnership was known as J. M. Halloran, Inc, has been entire ly remodelled within so that today it is one of the most up-to-date mems furnishing establishments in the city. At last nights opening Lynchs or chestra furnished music from ' to 10 o'clock and each visitor was given a card entitIing him to a chance on a. new suit of clothes. a silk shirt or a new hat.

Coughlin of 57 Seymour street. Her. bert Smith of 107 LasaHe street was given g. new hat and the silk shirt went to Anthony Gajda of 101 Broad street In addition, each visitor last evening was given g. free souvenir.

MIR. HANCOCK IMPROVING IN
HEALTH

DIR. Green reports that Mr.. Hancock
is improving very nicely in the balmy
climate of Lewiston, where the doctor
took him last week. The weather is
almost like summer down there, the
roads being dry and hard and early
gardening is in full swing, which is
enough to stir the spirit of youth and
vigor in the heart of almost anyone.
As soon as weather conditions on the
prairie will permit, Mr.. Hancock will
return to Grangeville and resume his
business interests as usual Those de-
string TO communicate with him may
do so by addressing him at lila, 18th
Street, Lewiston, Idaho.
Mr.. Hancock feels especially crate
full to those who so kindly admin
istered to him during his recent illness,
feeling that without these thoughtful
ministrations and the individual care
of DR. Stockton and the care and at
ton that he received at the Grange
vile hospital, he would not be able to
have withstood the severe strain to
which he was subjected. Both the
Odd Fellows and Eagle Lodges, to
which Mr.. Hancock belongs, showered
him with every attention, and Mr..
Maugg proffered his assistance in
conducting the three funerals that
were in progress at his undertaking
parlors at the time Mr. Hancock was
taken i'll.
