Fine Football Team.

Newport. R. L. Sept. ls.-From
the material which Fred Walker
has TO pick from II is believed the
Second Naval District football
eleven will make a strong bid for
the championship. Walker is here
under the auspices Of the War
Camp Community and he has an
excellent reputation as a coach. He
led the Williams College eleven
through a successful season last
fall and hopes to continue his
success with the Reserves.
There are thousands Of men at
the training station and reserve
barracks, many OF whom have had
experience on the gridirOn. Most
of the stars left Newport
Practice is being held every day
and the squad will be increased TO
ninety in a few days.
A new football field has been
marked out at the training station
and it lies near the boat landing and
on the grass plot in trent of the
War College. Many of the games
will be played at Freebody Park, the
city's new playfield.

RELIS'T GAMES
FOR AMATEURS
Association Hopes to De.
clare Championship Team
by September %.

Six games that have been post
poned because of bad weather and
ties are listed to be played next week
The District Baseball Association
took this action at a meeting Of the
body held last night at Spaldings. The
Army Medicos and Navy Yard club
is scheduled today at the American
League Park. while Operations and
Clarendon are booked for the same
field on Saturday.
The association would have liked
to shorten the schedule. but as the
first three teams in section two and
the first two in section one are to
divide the spoils there was no chance,
as the contenders for these positions
can not be decided until the series is
played out.
The Clarendon club which had pre-
viously booked a game with the Car
dinal Athletic Club. of Alexandria,
Va, for the American League Park
on Sunday claimed that they had can
celed this date and are ready to full
fill the schedule OF the association.
AS the park officials are under agree
ment with the Cardinal A c., no
association game will be played there
Sunday. but a double bill has been
named for Union League Park.
The Commerce club from section
one protested being dropped by the
association as S. Cruinshanks. the
captain of the club proved that his
outfit had only forfeited one game.
Since this action was taken by the
association in good faith after having
been informed of Commerce forfeit
ing two contests no retraction was
faEan Thnaa rNrRSant al tho

HARVARD'S FUTURE
STILL UNDECIDED

New York. Sept ls-Within two
weeks the Harvard athletic committee
will meet and determine Just what
sports will be carried on this fan at
the university. At present the out
look for athletics at the college Is
rather dark, but II any possible chance
OF organizing an eleven TO represent
the Crimson on the GridIron this
season turns up it will not be over
looked by the men in charge OF the
sport activities.
Dean lie Baron r. Briggs. chairman
OF the Harvard athletic committee,
has not taken any action on the con-
tinuation of any sports since early in
the summer. At that time, the big
three. Harvard, Princeton and Yale,
agreed not to play any other than
freshman teams on the gridiron this
fall.
The fact that the War Department
requires that each student IN the
Army Training Corps shall work
fifty-three hours is regarded as the
deathkneIl for sports this autumn al
least The students at the college art
as a general rule all physically nj fol
military duty and all those over L
will be enrolled in the corps. In add.
tion to receiving the pay OF an army
private the government will provide
for their board, room and tuition.

STOCKS IGNORE
LOSS OF BAKU
Turkish Victory Fails to
Impress Brokers
Strongly.
By BROADAN WALL

New York, Sept. 1s.-Capture OF
Baku by the Turks was reported early
today In Wall Street and perhaps had
a restraining influence on the stock
market, although the street as a
whole did not seem to appreciate the
Importance OF the loss. At any rate
the market was steady and after
slight fluctuations closed firm. Per-
sons familiar with the oil industry
hoped the report was not true, Tor II
true IL means that the Turks have
captured the most important petro-
leum center in the world outside OF
the Mexican district Such an event
would naturally be bullish on Mexican
oil stocks and those issues were
strong. But there was the bringing OF
a 30D0-barre well by the Pierce Oil
Company TO account for that In ad-
dition to the improving relations be-
tween the oil companies and the Mexi-
can government.
After much worry over money hat
ters and steel prices 1t was discover
ed at the end of the day that moth
ing had been done in either Of these
of stock market Importance. 1t was
made clear by a member OF the bank
that tilt NoltSi ChSC
just ended at Washington had moth
ing to do with the stock market. 1t
was in regard to credits to be allowed
to nonessential industries. The banks
