fastened upon them, were not able to

Kids Say He Did II to Keep Them

You enter the alley and go past a
mortar box. pile OF SAND, an up
/ right screen and other things of'en
found in alleys.
You keep on going to almost the
middle of the block, attracted oy
joyous shouts and all the noise OF
lot OF children having the time OF
their young lives.
You finally get past the corner OF
an outbuilding placed on the alley
and the whole thing bursts on your
view-bursts is right, for that Is the
impression made by a big lot OF
children playing boisterously all over
the rear twothirds of city lot
When one of the boys could be
stopped long enough to answer
question. he said:
Swings and Slides and Everything.
"Dr. Hogle built and fixed this for
us. He believes boys ought to be
kept off the streets, out OF the way
of automobiles. and that the best
way TO do 1t is to fix them a place
somewhere else to play.
Yes; he put in everything him
self, and it's great. That pole is
set In concrete four feet into the
ground, so It can't get loose, and
everything is fixed so II can't hurt
anybody at all
Yes; there's everything here we
want, teeters and slides and swings
and rope rings and-and everything
You can't get hurt, either, il you
do fall See that sand all over the
ground, and it's deep and soft and
it don't hurt at all to fall on It. Ii
you do happen to lose your hold
sometime"
To Keep Them Out of Danger.
There was everything on the sand
modern Fairgrounds. and all were in
use about I o'clock last evening.
'+Dr Hogel thinks kids ought to have
a place to play, and he thinks the
best way to keep boys out Of danger
and mischief is to give them some
place to play right" volunteered a
second boy who had curiously joined
the interviewed boy. The others
looked at the man stopping in the
alley as something of a curiosity, for
few people penetrate it to the play
ground.
The neighbors said that DR.. w. NJ.
Hogie had obtained the ground gratis
from the owner, W. A. Loeffler, and
had fitted It UP at evidently rather
heavy expense for the children OF
the neighborhood. It is IN the alley
between Concert and High streets
| and between Sixth and Seventh
streets. The house ON the front OF
the lot faces Concert street.

There are no exaggerated Features"
For science has proved that exaggerated
features, usually designed as selling
points alone, are the most frequent cause
of Faulty combustion" which inevitably
results in chilly rooms and costly waste
of fuel.
In these scientific furnaces each part is
scientifically harmonized with the other
Each does it's part with scientific precision.
The result is quickly noticed in the steady
coal pile.
Whether you are planning replace
ment or new installation, NOW is the time
to act To assure comfort and fuel economy
in your home or building next winter your
installation should be scheduled without
DELAY.

BASE BALL BRIEFS.

Recent accounts told Of how Moriar-
ty, the umpire, examined the belt,
clothing. cap and glove Of Carl Mays,
the Yankee pitcher. to see whether he
had anything concealed therein with
which to doctor the ball. A New York
critic observes: AN edifying sight
truly for patrons Of the national
game,'a player being subjected to a
process far more BETTING a police
station than the ball field and an in
cfdent OF no credit to the league in
which 1t was tolerated"
1t was on the recommendation Of
Nap Rucker. who is now a scout, that
Brooklyn bought Catcher Taylor from
the Charlotte IN. c. team. Taylor is
a collegian and is said to have a good
arm and good batting eye. Chicago
and Cincinnati were two other Ma
tional League clubs after him.
Colonel Lester Snover Is the name Of
a tall. husky southpaw who has left
the Marine Corps to enlist under the
banner of John McGraw. The left
flank Of Snover's highly martial name
is not q title-it's his real name. In
military rank Snover never climbed
higher than private. but among ma
rine fans he was rated at the top OF

WEST POINTERS THINKING
OF FOOT BALL SEASON

NEW YORK. August 27.-west
Point seems to be devoting consider
able thought to foot ball. It was an
nounced from the Military Academy
the other day that Capt. Oliphant
would have charge of athletics at the
Point. This is the same Elmer Oil
pant. nicknamed the Elephant, who
played halfback on the Army team of
|1s16.
Oliphant. perhaps, was one of the
most formidable line buckers the game
ever has known. In one game be-
tween West Point and Notre Dame he
carried the ball from the West Point
five-yard line to the Notre Dame f1ve-
yard line In straight plunges. If he
can impart some Of his knowledge
and give some of his stamina to the
backs Of this years Army team it will
be stormy fall for the young men
Of Annapolis.
The Army-Navy game will be re-
vived this year after lapse of three
years. The members Of both teams
Will be new youngsters. All of the
members of the Army and Navy teams
of 1916. when the two service colleges
last met on the gridiron. have taken
their places in their chosen branches.
The revival of this event will be all
the more interesting for that. It will
be particularly interesting to see what
kind OF coach Oliphant will make.

french BOXER COMING
Georges Carpenter Due to Arrive

NEW YORK. August 27.-Georges
Carpenter, heavyweight champion of

who was matchmaker for bouts pro-

tertainment Of the Yanks in France.
companied by his manager. Des-
champs, and by Charley Ledoux. a
veteran French bantanweiRht. who is
well known in the United States and
who made q creditable showing in
the ring here. 1t is not Carpenters
ately. The Frenchman probably will
box with Americas second raters. and
then, providing he makes good
against these fighters. negotiations
will be opened for a championship
affair between this war veteran and
Dempsey.
The Frenchman is in good physical
condition. due to the hardening he
obtained from exposure during the
war. but undoubtedly his quickness
and skill have been dulled by being
out OF rigid training for a long
period. Should Dempsey meet and
win from Carpenter, he would have
the unqualified right to claim the
worlds championship, having the
title for both Europe and America on
his shoulders.
should Carpenter be successful in
his second-rate fights In this country,
the demand for q title scrap between
the present champion and the chal-
lenger from overseas will be strong.
Georges realizes this. and the further
the 6Rht is set in the future the
larger the pot Of money will be for
him.

0eanings From Sportdom
By Walter Camp

They say on the tennis courts that
A fast service may. like q chicken.
come home to roost.
A short lob 10 like q boomerang; II
comes back.
Lightning and Q good service never
strike twice In the same place.
A good tennis player, like a good
drama, is full Of action.
A wild service is like a cheap shot
gun. 1t does the damage to the one
who uses it. not to the one against
whom 1t il aimed.
There are certain definite tendencies
in golf which have been especially
demonstrated in the recent national
amateur tournament. Is golf to be
turned into a base ball game at the
whim of the public? Are the galleries
that follow important matches to
mimic the crowds in the base ball
bleachers and cheer their favorites
and guy" the unpopular contestant:
Secondly. are tournaments to become
mere tests of physical endurance?
In the semi-final matches at Oak
mont the players in one played six.
teen shots from bunkers in the fifteen
holes. and in the other, thirteen shots
from bunkers in thirteen holes. And
