Major Pullman-A COMMON
SENSE Official

With a common sense that
places the efficiency of com.
fort over the ineficiency
which resulted from enforcing
an archaic rule, Major Pull
man has issued orders allow
ing the pstrolmen to shed
their coats and work in their
shirt sleeves.
The picture which we print
here, the first one taken of
an officer in a comfortable and
sensible summer costume,
shows that the rule detracts
nothing from his appearance
nor limits him in his enforce
ment of the law.
It should be remarked that
Major Pullman is getting a
reputation far beyond the
limits Of the Capital for being
an executive who applies
common sense to his job and
encourages his officers to ap-
ply common sense to theirs.
That is one reason why scores
Of cities have sent their
snperintendents of police to
Washington to see how things
are being run here.

NO FOOTBALL AT HAVERFORD
Fears That Pastime Would Interfere
With Military Course Cause Aban-
donment of Game.

After tenure of almost forty years
the great American game of football
will be abolished at Iaverford college
this season. 1t was believed that the
pastime would materially Interfere
with the students army training
course. Wednesdays and Saturdays.
both big days for football, will be de-
voted to military work. Interclass
games alone will struggle for existence.
An entirely different program has
been adopted by Swarthmore, which
was approached on the subject. Here
the schedule will be played out as
planned, unless government regula-
tons forbid such procedure, which is
unlikely.
According to Dean Alexander of
SwarthmOre, ''the students need recre-
alton and as football provides the nee
essary sport the institution will, If pos
sible, continue competition"
The annual struggle with Haverford
which must now be abandoned, came
as a rather severe blow to the Garnet
but failed in any way to alter it's de
termination to see it through. DR.. Ro,
Mercer will be retained and the spOr
run on the best basis possible.

CAREER ON TURF OF =.
CAMPFIRE is ENDED
Wilson's Great TWo-Year-OId
Will Long Be Remembered.
Son Of olambala and Niohtfall Never
Speedier Than When He Broke
Down-Colt Was Sufferer of
Autointoxication.

No breeder in the United States,
taking the number of mares in his
string into comparison, can show q
greater measure of success than Rich
ara L. Wilson, the president of the !
Saratoga Association for the Improve
mcnt of the Breed of Horses. While |
Wilson had until recently only about
half dozen mares, he always had a
horse of more than ordinary quality
racing under his colors that was the
outcome of his own theories in mating,
while in Campfire and Hannibal he
secured two first-class horses.
1.-THE general public will never know
how good horse Campfire was,'' said
Wilson few days ago in discussing
the possibilities Of the son of CLAM
tala and Nightfall as a sire. HE was
never greater than when he broke
down, and the morning he went wrong
I think he could have worked faster
over Belmont Park than any horse
that was ever trained there. While
he did great things as a @two-year-Old
when he topped the list of winners
in this country, he was, in my opinion,
destined to accomplish still greater
things later in his career.
II have always had my own opinion
concerning Campfire, and nothing will
make me believe that he was not a
sufferer from what we would call au.
tOlntoxicatiOn in the human family. 1t
was this which .interfered with his
training and kept him from taking the
same pride of place as a three-year-
old which he occupied at two. This
season he appeared to be himself
again; but now his racing career is
ended and the public will have to re-
n'cnber him as very great two-year-
old
'"There are breeders in this country
who have been prone to overlook the
greatness of some of our American
families while unduly exploiting the
merits Of others. We are all ready tc
concede the potency of the Bonnie
Scotland and Hanover families, but
back of Hanover and HindoO there
was mighty horse-a horse of great
individuality qualities have
come down through generations O.
} good horses. I refer to Virgil, son O.
, Vandal and grandson Of the immorta
Glencoe. This horses blood, to my wa.
} of thinking, had as much to do witt
making Hanover great as did his Bon
} ME Scotland dam.
"Virgil spent many Of his best year
in obscurity; was used as a hack horse
) being driven about the streets of New
} Orleans by the late Col. r. w. Sim
) mons, who frequently told me that tn
: horse could show three minute gal
, on the trot. He could jump and h
could run far and fast"

CAGE BALL Is LATEST
GAME PLAYED IN ARMY

Cage ball, one of the latest
additions to the long list of
training camp sports conducted
by the war department com
mission on training camp activi-
ties. bids fair to become one of
the most popular athletic diver
SionS among the soldiers and
sailors.
Cage ball combines the play
value Of several games. It has
the rush and drive of football,
the exciting moments of basket
ball and the rough hustle and
tuSsle of the class lush.
The game can be played by
dozen, Il hundred or thousand
men; there is no limit to the
number Of players. Thus the
weak and undeveloped may have
the same experience, pleasure
and profit that is given to the
skilled athlete who plays on a
!, team whose players are limited.
And the aggressive fighting
} spirit, so invaluable on the bat
. tlcfield, is stimulated.
