"Rah-Rah" Boys to Invade
Polo Grounds for One of
Most Important Games of
Season Here.
Bg William Abbott.


lNNE of the best games on to-mor-
~ rows schedule will be played at
the Polo Grounds when the big
Green team from Dartmouth and the
big Red team from Cornell get in
action. 1t will be a regular rah. rah
battle. the kind OF football this old
town seldom sees. The Now Hamp-
shire institution intends TO move
down here for the game. The Dart
mouth band and 600 students are
coming down in a special train TO
whoop things up for their team.
Cornell will not be outdone in noise
making. At least 1900 Cornell stu
dents will journey down from Ithaca
for the game. Perhaps the most con-
spicuous member in the big party
will be Touchdown. the bear mascot
for the Red team. who so far has
fallen down on the JOB OF bringing
luck TO the team upstate. Touch
down is to be strongly conveyed, as
Dartmouth adherents, hearing OF
the presence OF the Cornell mascot,

That was the question which
only time could answer. So we
rolled up our sleeves and dug in.
To-day the Paramount ideal
is four years young; it has lived
and hovrished and proved its
worth.
In four years it has grown
from the narrow confines OF one
small shop to the roomy free
dom Of seven large ones.
And without capital or infiu-
enee worth speaking Of, with no
mark-down sales, no strategy.

substantial growth Of a Substan-

and a policy.
That Paramount policy and
principl0 have remained unal-

$3.50 and S2.oo are still the
standard of shirt value.
And the Paramount guaran-

something.

FORD TRUCK HIT
AND WRECKED BY
CHATHAM TRAIN
Driver ESCAPED With Small Cut
on Head
WHEELS SLIPPED IN OIL
Engine and Chassis Not Much Damag-
ed but Otherwise Car is Pretty
Much Junk

A Ford one-ton truck owned by III.
q. Hammitt was completely wrecked
yesterday afternoon at the town
hill' crossing of the Chatham railroad.
The driver fortunately escaped with
a slight cut on the head.
Judging from appearance and the
statements of the Bennington garage
employees who went to the scene to
haul in the wreck, the accident was
due to the inability Of the driver to
hold the truck on the recently oiled
road.
1t would appear that the driver
when he saw the train approaching
from the direction of Chatham that he
threw on his brakes. The brakes
held but the wheels continued to slide
on the oil road. When he observed
that he was destined TO reach the
crossing in front of the locomotive
he released his brakes and attempt
ed to beat the train. The second de-
cision was too late.
| The car was thrown down the hill
and landed bottom side upwards, the
body was smashed as were two
wheels. The engine and chassis may
not be badly damaged. No one who
saw the results of the collision is able
to understand how the driver escaped
with his life.

WILL NEVER PLAY BASEBALL
christy Mathewson Gives Reasons
Why the French Are Not Likely to
Take Up Game.

France, the country that went
through the fighting Of the biggest war
in history without batting an eye, will
never adopt baseball as national
pastime because the game is 'too
rough" This was learned from no
less an authority than Capt. Christie
pher Mathewson, who arrived at New
York recently.
Although the Pollus have bravely at
tempted few games under American
tutelage, they're more afraid Of a
hard-hit liner or grounder than they
are Of a German ~" according TO
MathewsoD. "TFelr ,nfeld work is
rotten,p said Cnfisty. 'aThey can run
bases all right, but they get little op-
portunity, because they can't bat. And
I don't believe you could pick up a
6rst-class catcher In all Of France.
Every time Frenchman gets behind
bat he wants to retreat about ten
PAGES, erect a barbed-wire entangle-
ment, dig himself dugout and crawl
| into it.
s ''No, the Frenchnnn win never take
TO baseball in a big way. He prefers
something gentle, such as football aid
dueling."
