SUMMER NOT A MYTH
Pioneer Settlers Heard the Expression
With a Thrill Of Apprehension
Easy to Understand.

'Indian summer" owes its name not
TO any poetic fancy but to the pain
ful experiences of early frontier set
Element During the long-continued
Indian wars the settlers enjoyed no
peace except during the winter. when
owing to the severity Of the weather
the Indians were unable TO make any
raids The coming of winter was
therefore hailed with delight by the
backwoodsmen, who until then had
been cooped up in their little uncom
Portable forts. They removed to their
cabins ON The farms with the eXhil-
aratlon of prisoners released from con
hnement Sometimes, however, it hap
pened that after the apparent begin
ming Of winter the weather became
warm again, This was the "lndian
summer" because 1t afforded the In
dams another opportunity of visiting
the settlements with their destructive
warfare. In his Notes on the Set
Element ana Indian Wars Of the West
ern Parts of Virginia and Pennsyl-
vauia" published in 1924, the Rev. J.
Doddridge remarks that in his own
day bacliwoodsman seldom heard
The expression "Indlan summer with

FIELD Of HONOR
seen BY SCR|BES
Colonel George Roth Escorts
Party to Tentative Site of
Proposed Stadium

Lieutenant Colonel George Roth,
member of tentative committee set
ting plans for the erection of an ath =
lcttc stadium in Fairmount Park prob
ably to be called Field of Honor, a
memorial to fallen heroes in all wars,
was escort yesterday afternoon for a
small groun of newspapermen to the
sight on which this mammoth Struc-
sure will be located.
The purpose of the trip was to show
the accessibility. the wide acreage of
this section of the park and the Won
derful opportunities to give Philadel-
phia the greatest stadium in the world.
The idea is replete with various possi-
biiities. Colonel Roth in his explana-
tion OF the proposed plans showed clear
ly that such a stadium would meet with
the satisfaction of the people. Phila-
delphia, with all of its natural beauty,
will never be complete in its architec-
tural pride until such a place is erected
on which to hold big athletic events.
The party yesterday was taken to the
section of the park known as the Cliffs.
near the Yarnell Mansion. a short dis
ttsnce from Thirty third street and
lColumbia avenue. There are fifty three
acres suitable for the stadium and cor :
responding halls. This location is par
ticularly ideal IN view Of its proximity

vania and. the Reading railroads. Sew

Maybe Heisman Forgot
It's ''Near Beer" NotU

Jack Hcisman, football coach at
Penn, handed the candidates 'hot
one" in dismissing them for the
summer season. Conch Heisman sd-
dressed seventy five gridiron athletes
late yesterday afternoon on the sub
ject of keeping in condition for the
football season.
He gave them some valuable point
ers on what to eat and drink and
warned them against violent exer-
else. He advised them to play base
ball and tennis, but not to indulge
in too much running or rowing.
Avoid alcohol and tobacco" said
Heisman. However, l am not op-
posed to a bottle of beer and cigar
even during the football season, pro-
yided 1 know you indulge in them"
That made the boys gasp, but
when you consider that the once
popular brew is an unknown guam
tity it isn't so radical, and one
cigar during the football season
wouldn't hurt even a college under
graduate.

BAKER DENIES
| ME!USEL TRADE
PhiIs' President Says Rumor Is
Unfounded, but Admits He's
After Pitchers

The rumor that Irish Meusel, the
Pills hard hitting outfielder, would
be traded to the Robins for a pitcher
and another player. was partly spiked
this morning by William T. Baker,
the president of the club, in CON
versation over the long distance tele-
phone from New York.
The first time l saw or heard that
Meusel was to be traded" said Mr..
Baker, was in the newspapers. I sent
clippings of the stories to Cravath. Per-
haps he may know something about Il,
but as far as ] know, there Is no truth
in the reports"
Cravath yesterday denied that he
knew of such q trade.
Brooklyn has been after us for an
outfielder," Mr.. Baker continued, "but
they wanted Stengel, and, of course,
we wouldn't trade him. We could use
pitcher or two. In fact, we need them
and Brooklyn could use an outfielder.
Il am leaving for the West to-
morrow and will have a talk with
Cravath in Cincinnati. At that time
there may be something doing on trades,
but nothing has been done so far

PHOENIX. June 10.-That Tom Campbell, governor of Arizona, is be- ing seriously considered as a candi- date for vice-president at the Chicago convention is indicated in confiden- tial dispatch received by Ine RepuOlI- can state headquarters today The dis patch states that while there has been little discussion as to the vice presi- dency, Campbell is being mentioned in many quarters and adds:
 Tn addition to support from the states of the League of the Southwest it is expected that Indiana will vote for Campbell because of the support of southwestern states to Watson, chairman of the resolutions commit tee. New England states are favor able because of the leading part taken by Arizona for Wood The same thing applies to Kansas. and w. p Thomson. a personal friend of Camp bell is helping in New York.
