GOOD WEATHER OR
BAD ENGINEERS
DANCE TONIGHT

The stage is now all set for the en-
gineer officers hop at Fort Barrancas,
this evening. With the arrival of the
last express package of decorations
from Mobile, the committee on arrange
ments is in position to announce that
the dance will be staged strictly ac-
cording to prearranged detail.
One noteworthy feature OF the oc-
casion is the fact that the dance will
be given regardless of weather con-
ditions. In the unlikely event that
the present rainy spell has not passed
over by Friday evening, it will only
be necessary to open the gates of the
post grounds and run the special car
up to the post exchange, where all
preparations have been made for that
contingency.
If one may judge by the extreme
interest manifested in military, naval
and civilian social circles, the engin-
eers' hop promises to be one of the
big events of the social season. The
engineers have a reputation for carry
ing all of their work to successful
conclusion. and they insist that their
hon shall only maintain that reputa-
ton. With a beautifully decorated
pavilion, good music and jolly gath
ering of guests, they look FORWARD
with no little anticipation to most
enjoyable evening.
AS has been stated before, a specially
chartered car will leave Pensacola at
SIS D. M and return leaving Barran-
cas- at 1915. This car will make all
stops. A cordial invitation is extended
to all officers of the military and naval
forces. officers who are strangers at
the post are requested to present them
selves to Captain c. d. s. Clarkson.

GERMANY SCHAEFER
 DIES AT SARANAC
Famous Baseball Comedian SuC-
 CumbS to Tuberculosis

New York, May 17.-Herman Ger many) Schaefer, who succeeded Ar lie Latham as the jester of tho na- tional game, died suddenly yesterday at Saranac Lake, after an illness of several months. Tuberculosis was the cause of his demise, but as he was not thought to be in imm ediate dan ger, the news of his end came as q shock to the public and mem bers of the New York team, for which he had been acting as scout. Schacfcr was born in Chicago, February 4, 1880, and was 39 years of age at the time of death.
 He began his career as a ball play CT with Sioux City in 1898, and his first major league enga cement was with the Chicago Nationals in 1899. Later he switched to the Am erican league and played second base for Detroit his last important engage mont as a player being with the Washington club He lost his play ing form while with the Senators, but was useful as a coach and fun maker. Two years ago Schaefer was released by Washington and joined the Yankees as coach and scout. Sub sequenty he was released and then was engaged by McGraw as scout.
 Schaefer was known as "Germany" or "Dutch," but he cancelled these sobriquets when the world war be- gan.
 Schaefer accompanied the Giants and the White SoX on their tour of the world and his fun did much to keep the teams in good humor. He was at Gainesville, Fla, during the training trip of the Giants and seemed to be in fairly good health, although he had spent the winter at Lake

Placid owing to unfavorable symp- toms. The coach was in high good humor while in the South, and came North at the close of the tour. It is feared that the sudden change from the mild Southern climate to the bleak weather of the North resulted in relapse.
 Schaofer's comedy was clean and wholesome, albeit athletic. One of his performances was an imaginary tight rope walk, using the chalk line on the field as the rope. His narrow escapes from falling were provoca- tive of mcrriment.
 He also was in the habit of staging a wrestling match in which he threw himself after a desperate struggle. The body of the dead ball player will he shipped to his sister, Mrs Marga- ret Hawlcy, at Chicago.

 kearns said that Dempsey would work one week and 'loaf' the next, so as to avoid all danger of going stale. He will do all of his training out of doors, inasmuch as the battle is to be fought in the open, and only light work for the first week. The main effort will be to increase Denp- seys speed and to bring his endur- ancc up to the highest point possi- ble.
 Dempsey was in high spirits after finishing his motor trip from Chica go. He and Kearns spent the after noon looking over sites for a training camp, but no deal was closed.

STARTLING SETS RECORD.
Sensational Race is Run in Feature
 Event at Jamaica Track.

New York, May 17.--Startling won the Arizona handicap and established new track record at the Jamaica track yesterday afternoon, but his performance was insignificant com pared with that of Ina Frank. which finished second. The aged daughter of Abe Frank came within an ace of accomplishing what seemed impOssi- ble. She ran away nearly two miles, tore a. deep gash in her right flank by running into the rail. then went to the starter and Outran seven renewed sprinters until caught by Startling few jumps from the judges.
 The courage and speed of the ia nous mare were a revelation, and if she had not got it into her wilful head to take a two mile journey at q 1:4O gait before going to the post she undoubtedly would have hung up new worlds figures and Galloped off with the stake.
 Startling ran q great race and is entitled to all the praise and fame that goes 10 record breaker. He sped over the five and q half furlonG' route in 105 2-5. and clipped a fifth of a second from the track mark made by the famous Pan Zareta two years ago, but the performance of Ina Frank was so remarkable that his record breaking race seemed medi- pore.

TILDEN BEATS JAP.
Clay Court Tennis Champion Proves
 to be Kumagae's Master.

New York; May 17-Wiliam F. Tilden, 2d, of Philadelphia, clay court champion of the United States, dem onstrated for the third consecutive time yesterday that he is Ichiya <umagaes tennis master by defeat ing the Japanese in the final round of the Harlem Tennis clubs annual open singles tourament TiIden won m straight sets at 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, thereby scoring his second winning of this tournament in the last two years
 A surprising feature Of the match was that Kumagae played the net more than did Tilden. and it was only by seeking the net himself at the clay court champion could win his points consistently.
 A gallery of several hundred per- sons was clustered about the courts when Tilden and Kumaeac came out to begin their struggle, little after o'clock. They tossed for choice and Kumagae started the service. as he did in both succeeding sets. Both players hung in back court in the first two games Kumagae as though fear ing to tempt fate by facing Tildcn's lightning passing drives, and the Philadelphian apparently satisfied to pit his own deep drives against the Jap's.
 He broke through Kuma gac's serv- ice at the start chOpping his returns off short into midcOurt so that 'Tchy' was always digging for the ball
