Promotion for
 Martin Whalen .. - Backed for County Sealer of Weights and
 Measures

Former Factory Inspector Mar tin. J. Whalen of this city Is being backed by the local E. o. p. or ganization for the office of county scaler'of weights and measures. A vacancy in this post was caused last week by the death of Justice William Tyler, of Middlebury. There are many more candidates in the field. though, 1t being estimated that in all there are about 20, representing the other towns and cities of the county.
 Two years ago MT Whalen was being boomed for q similar post, the job to be created. The deal did not go through. however. He was q member of the state labor department until 1t was taken over by the democrats. The county scaler's job is filled by tho county commissioners. They are all re- publicans, therefore the job is ex- pectcd to go to republican con- stituent.
 Congressman D. W. Goss. Town Chairman T. r. Conway and tho leaders of the Young Mems Re- publican club of this city are re- ported as being unanimously be- hind the candidacy of Mir Whalen who is very popular in g. o. p. circles.

mage against the scrubs yesterday. The

Coach Tobe Riggs directed the prac-
tice to improve the offense of the
Johnny team, its weak point up to this
time. Drake did good work against
ST Joseph's Saturday, and will remain
at quarter, while the return of Capt.
Scheffenecher to the backf1eld is ex-
pected to give it additional strength.
Riggs has Kilmore, Eichorn, MacCar-
tee and Delisio from which to pick the
other backfield players, and is hoping
that the attack will be considerably
strengthened by Saturday.
Defensively the team Is showing con-
siderable strength, but the line players
particularly the ends, are doing little
to help the backs so far.

Is to be the regular order this Fall and
is preparing this week almost desper-
ately for the game with Princeton Sat-
urday, determined that it shall mark
the real arrival of the Navy team of
1892.
Yesterday attention was given to the
running plays and to the defense
against the forward passes. the need
of Improvement along these two lines
having been indicated Saturday against
Ohio University. OF course, emphasis
was put upon the necessity Of holding
tine ball. which inability was the fatal
weakness Saturday.
Head Coach Miller again stated that
change in the lineup Of the varsity
was unlikely. The work of Becht at
quarter had been criticized to some ex-
tent, but it was pointed out that the
quarterback could hardly have been re-
sponsible for another back runbliIig at
the end Of q substantial gain, as hap
pened so often Saturday AS a matter
Of fact, Becht was freer from loose
work than the other backs.
At the same time attention was given
to other players in this position. Slack
seems to be next in line at quarter,
with Lee, Denny and Kibbe following In
that order There is also some talk OF
, using Clark at quarter, but he is more
necessary at halfback, as the alternate
to Chung -Hoon, being the only back
who approaches him as a runner, pass
er and kicker.

Punts and Passes
BY the Associated Pres

n EWTON, Mass.-The Fates seem
nj to have it in for Ray Harring-
ton, Boston College substitute
back. On Tuesday he almost
won a place in the starting lineup
for the Marquette game by making a
great showing in scrimmage, but the
next afternoon he turned up with an
injured knee and was declared out OF
that contest. ... .-
PITTSBURGH.-The Pitt team has
locked pretty tough to all its opponents
so far, but it now develops that Capt.
Paul Reider wasn't in condition to play
his best game. Yesterday was the drst
time since he injured an ankle early
in the season that he has been able
to 60 through full afternoons scrtm-
mage.
NEW YORK. After missing only
~ two years since 1915, Columbia
and Williams are going to split
up after Saturdays game. Williams
has chosen Princeton for its annual
big" opponent next season.
WORCESTER, Mass. - The Holy
Cross foot ball squad has gone in for
class room work and doesn't think
much of it. When rain forced the
practice indoors yesterday a class room
was the only place available and quar-
ters were somewhat cramped.
WEST POINT, N. Y.-The spectators
who saw Army play Pitt last Saturday
would hardly recognize the Army team
now. During yesterdays drill, Jablon-
sky, guard, and Vidal, quarterback, re-
manned on the sidelines because Of in
juries, while the regular tackles, Lin
coin and Armstrong, didn't report at all.
HANOVER, N. H-Maybe they grow
i i them tough at Dartmouth, or an
ardent desire to beat Harvard may
be the explanation-but while most
Eastern teams were forced indoors by
Yesterdays hard rain the Indians went
through an unusually long scrimmage

for vengeance against Bucknell Satur-
day in addition to wanting to wipe out

SYRACUSE, N. Y.-Since the men
who had been chosen as regulars at
Syracuse failed to win their last two
games, Coach Vic Hanson has decided
to make 1t q wide-open contest for the

two men, he says, are reasonably sure OF
being in there. They are Tindau, o

AMERICAN LEAGUE
APT TO BAN RADIO
Eastern Clubs Opposed to
Game Broadcasts-Longer
Season in 1888.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
~HICAGo, october 1s.-Banning
the radio from the American
League base ball parks next
season will come up for serious
consideration at the annual meeting In
December, President william Harridge
indicated today.
There is growing sentiment, Presi-
dent Harridge said, against the broad
casting of base ball games. The Eastern
half of the league is solidiy opposed to
the radio Three of the, clubs-Phila-
delpnia, New York and Washington
even forbid telegraphic reports to be
filed out of the park for broadcasting
purposes.
II cannot forecast how the club own
ers will vote" President Harridge said,
but it would not surprise me If all the
clubs voted to throw the broadcasters
cut. Several base ball leaders contend
that broadcasting kept thousands away
from the world series games in New
York. particularly the first game. when
the weather was threatening right up
to game time"
The decision of the major leagues to
extend the 1888 season a week longer
means. that the world ser.ss will start
about October with the regular sea-
son concluding on October l. This Fall
the first game of the world series was
played on September 20 The 1888
races probably will open on April II.
This inaugural game falls on Wednes-
day, whereas Tuesday has been the Gus
tomary day for blasting the base ball
season open.
