GRID SEASON
TODAY
Naval Academy Eleven Meets
William and Mary in In
auguraf Contest.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Sept. 29.-Bob
Folwell's Naval Academy gridiron
aggregation will open the season
this afternoon at Farragut Field
when they meet. the eleven from
William and Mary College.
For more than three weeks Fol-
well has been sending the Midship.
men by early stages through their
preliminary conditioning. until now
the team is in shape for a gruelling
battle.
Reports coming from Williams
burg state that the visiting collie
gians do not possess the strength
they did last year and such being
the case the probabilities are that
Coach Folwell will give more than
one Of his first string substitutes
a chance before the game Is over.
The Midshipmen will probably
start the game with the following
lineup: Stoll and Taylor, ends:
Clyde and Walker, tackles: Carney
and Lentz, guards; Mathes, center:
Mckee, quarterback, and Barchet.
Cullen and Flippen in the back
field.

1t is fundamentally possible for
the Griffs to finish in the first
division, but 1t Is not to be ex-
lpected. The Griffs have five games
with the Mackmen. They have
won only six all season from the
Philadelphia entry as against eleven
likely to cross the finish line Just
where they are, which Is a gain
Of one place in year,
The Griffs have the edge over the
ST. Louis Browns, 13 to 9, the Chi.
cago White Sox, IL to 10 and with
twelve wins in eighteen games al.
ready played are sure to lead the
Red Sox. With one game that can.
not be played, the Griffs lead the

The Griffs have broken even
with the Detroit Tigers, IL to IL,
but they are far behind the Mach

Local railroad officials and employees
as we'll as hundreds of commuters and |
travellers on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road between Philadelphia, Whining
ton and Baltimore, were shocked last |
week by the deaths, within twenty
four hours of each other, of two vet
eran employees on the line, one a con-
ductor and the other an engineer.
Both We're natives of Kent County and
born and raised not far from Clayton.
The conductor, David J.Hunter, whose
home was in Baltimore. Md, died at
the age of 81, Monday, July 8. The
veteran engineer, Nathaniel L. Foun-
tain, died at the age of 81, Monday
July 9, at home in Philadelphia. The
funeral services of each were held on
the same day-last Wednesday,
though in different cities. Both had
many times served in the crew of the
same train. Both were born in Kent
County, Delaware, Conductor Hunter
in Smyrna and Engineer Fountain in
Frederick. Both were born in No
vember. David ]. Hunter had a re-
markable record in many respects.
Born in Smyrna, November II, 1856,
he entered the railroad service in 1879
as a passenger brakeman. He was
made baggage master in 1889, and
passenger conductor in 1892. From
the time he entered the employ of the
Pennsy, he never missed a call of
run. In other words, his record was
faultless, and particularly so because
railroad men are subject to call in
emergency. From 1902 until shortly
before his death, he ran the same
train, Philadelphia and Baltimore
accommodation. In this way, he be-
came known to thousands of Will
mingtonians. Railroad officials state
that Conductor Hunter was one of the
best and most faithful conductors in
their employ, and that ne was unfail-
ing in courtesy and attention to his
duties and to the passengers under his
care. Funeral services were held
from his late home, 2842 N. Calvert
Street, Baltimore, and interment made
the same day. Nathaniel L. Fountain
described by his superior officers on
the Pennsy line, as one of the most
valuable men in the service, was
stricken suddenly Monday night, July
8, while sitting on his porch at 512S
Latona avenue, Philadelphia. He wa:
r born in Frederica, November Z, 1866
/ Entering the service of the Maryland
5 division in 1887 as a fireman, he wa!
t made an engineer in 1898. He servet
on various runs between New Yorl
and Baltimore, and for several year
prior to his death was on Run 4O1, be
, tween Philadelphia and Washington
: leaving Philadelphia at S.31 a. m. an
4 returning from Washington the sam

q term meaning that he was a carefJ
J. driver, but was rarely behind time
i He was of a congenial and sociabl
