ever, the list is a highly representative
one and should the Navy be able to win
all of its matches, its title to the lead

would be unquestioned.
Among the Navy's best available men
are: Wright. lis pounds: Dillon, 125

Harbold and Cutter, unlimited weight.
Wright is veteran Of two seasons

sity boxing. Fulrner was intercollegiate
champion at 135 pounds in 1882, but
last season lost q couple Of matches, nm
ishing in good style, however. Lee
made q splendid showing last season,
winning all Of his matches but one,
and giving Moran, the Syracuse hard
hitter, great night.
McNaughton has won all his fights
at 100 pounds both as q plebe and dur

175-pound fighter will have to be de-
veloped. but the rivalry Of Harbold and
Cutter, which extends also to the CEN

in the selection. The president
OF the Nationals still has nothing

OF the game are suggested as
managerial possibilities.
Even the mention Of Joe Judge. vet
eran first baseman. whose appointment
to the position is being ardently urged
by Washington fandom, brings no re-
sponse from Griffith. and there is good
reason to believe there is no likelihood
OF the job going to this popular player.
While Judge has keen knowledge Of
the game and perhaps is tsmpera-
mentally fit to lead major league club
the possibility OF his choice as manager
Is indeed remote. Grifiith regards Judge
nlghly, persone lly and as q player, but

young shortstop, have been prominently
mentioned as possibilities to succeed
johnson. neither probably will be picked
for the post
Rice, in fact, has no aspirations In
that line. while the elevation Of Cronin
to the pilots place might do more harm
than good to the club. In gaining a
fiery, youthful leader, the Nationals
quite likely would lose one Of the best
infielders and batters in the business.
Cronin is Of a highly nervous type,
prone to tautness In pinches, and the

Rumors of Deals for Earn.

Yanks Feared.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

n YEW YORK, October 6-Connie
M Mack, manager Of the Ath-
u letics. by announcing that he
will not make any more changes
in his team until after the end Of the
1888 season, has ended conjecture
about deals which might involve George
Earnshaw.
It had been asserted that the Chi
cago Americans would talk over Earn
shaw or Lefty Grove. or that Cleve-
land mirht get Earnshaw.
After the transfer of AL Simmons,
Mule Haas and Jimmy Dykes to Chi
cago. the White Sox would have gone
farther with Mack. Having started to
get successful team, Louis Comiskey,
president Of the Chicago club. will not
talk at any move which will fortify
his nine. He IS determined to get pres
tige back in Chicago for the American
League and is set upon leading the
West next year, and the league II he
can do it,
A IL the American League owners
"A are apprehensiye that the Yankees
will prove to be another three

nize that combination Of the present
Yankees, with the younger material
which they have under their control

They have become the target Of the
seven other clubs. exactly as the Ath-

II Mack does not transfer any other
PLAYERS. especially stars. before the end
Of 1888. that sagacious old organizer Is
still left with formidable team.
The attitude taken by Mack that
strength should not be transferred to
Ban Johnson When the latter was
alive he did not take an immediate part
in the placing Of players. because any
club owner could do as he pleased, but
he invariably counseled owners to try
to retain balanced strength in their
organization.
The National League never did this
1t has been the policy of the senior cir
cult clubs to strive individually for the
championship.
CINCE Col Rupert has been the sole
y owner of the Yankees his player
transactions have been based more
on National League ideas than on those
prevailing IN MS own league when john
son was alive. The result Is that he
has the largest surplus Of high-class
plaver holdings Of any owner in the
opposed to Is, just aS National League
policy when he owned the Giants.
Tia American League k not unani-
r,cus on the chain store system. nor is
the National League. It was devised by
the St. Louis Cardinals to offset the
purchasing ability Of Chicago and New
York and then bccame a menace to
them and to other clubs Of the Ma

this year. but in the American League
the chain store system has been put
into such practical operation by the
Yankees that clubs Of both leagues are

Is TEAMS TO VISIT
SEABOARD SECTION
Few Outsiders to Invade
Midwest and Only Two
Will Go South.
BY JOHN w. STAIR,


~HCAGO, october 6.-The
East" long since has re-
~ linquished any claims to
monopoly in foot ball tai
ent or prestige, but In this year
OF curtailed long-distance travel
that section is well ahead OF all
others in number and promise of
Its intersecti6lal grid battles.
A survey of schedules Of major COL
1ege teams indicates that intersectional
traflc between the Midwest and the
Atlantic seaboard this Fall will be many
times as heavy as that involving any
other sections. with the East having .
big margin In "home games"
Major Eastern teams Will play at
home in IS of their 36 intersectional
contests-25 with Midwestern foes. 7
against Southern teams and against
Far Western outfits.
Leading Midwest elevens will engage
in 40 intersectional Tits, but only Is.
less than half, will be at home. Three
Southern and one coast team, along
with the Is Eastern foes, make up the
oppoMtion.
Few to Invace South.
Dixie elevens will play 13 intersec-
tional foes, but only two of them on
Southern soil. while coast teams will
play five intersectional games away
from home and three on coast gridirons.
Syracuse, Fordham, Pittsburgh and
Army are the big reasons for the East's
heavy showing in international Sched-
uling.
Syracuse will meet two teams from
the South-ORlethorpe and Southern
Methodht-and two from the Mid
west-Michigan State and Ohio Wes-
leyan.
Fordham win bring two Pacific Coast
elevsns to New York, st. Mary's Of
oakland. Calf, and the Oregon Asgies,
IN addition to Michigan State.
Pittsburgh's heavy schedule includes
Nebraska, Stanford and Notre Dame as
1ntersectional opponents.
Army will bring Carleton College OF
Minnesota and North Dakota State
eastward. in addition to the Cadets
annual Gotham battle with Notre Dame.
Notre Dame, as usual, Is the chief in
tersectional standard b.arer among
Midwestern teams, meeting Army. Navy.
Carnegie Tech and Pittsburgh OF the
East and Southern California.
Detroit Eleven Active.
But this season the University Of De-
troit is pressing the Ramblers for ram
bling honors. with five Eastern foes
Holy Cross. Vilianova. Georgetown West
Virginia and Washington and JefIer-
son-and one Dixie foe-Loyola OF New
Orieans-on the schedule.
MarQuette also contributes strongly to
the Midwest lineup. with three home
games-against Washington and Jeffer-
son, West Virginia and Boston College.
None Of the Big Ten members plays
more than one International contest
this Fall.
Alabama is the only Southern team
with more than one long-range game
booked, going North to play George
Washington and later to the coast to
meet st. Mary's. Georgias annual jour-
ney to New York U. and Georgia Techs
visit to California both survived the de-
preston. U. G. L. A. will journey to
Florida for q post Christmas tilt.
Three December battles-Notre Dame
at Southern Calfornis and the afore-
mentioned Alabama-St. Mary's ard

His Poems Flop, So He Puts
 His Knife to Work

The mild little butcher in the small Lincolnshire town had al- ways fancied himself as g. poet; so, when he got a legacy that freed him from his job, he packed up, went to London and set out to cut Ia figure in the literary world.
 Unfortunately, nothing went right. The literary people he met made a joke of him. His poems failed to go over. He finally did get a post as editor of an arty sort of magazine, but the magazine was a flop, public acclaim was not forthcoming, and he finally wound up by getting desperately angry.
 And when he got angry, he re- membered that he had brought two fine butched knives to London; so he got them out and began sauntering about the streets at night, sticking them, into peo- pie
 This, very briefly, is an outline of Man Made Angry by Hugh Brooke. It is one of the neatest horror stories of the year.
 MT Brooke builds up to his climax with a sure hand. You can fairly feel the development of his inoffensive butcher-pcet into a |homicidal maniac; and when the man finally runs amuck and com mits' a series of eerie, meaningless murders the thrills prance up and down your spine at great rate.
 Man Made Angry is published by Ray Long and Richard R. Smith, Inc, and sells for $2.

President Hoover's stand on prohibition is heartily endorsed by Senator Bingham of our own state, but the latter prefers to ad- vance his own wet plan. All of which simply means that the gentleman from New Haven hasn't got the confidence in the Hoover method of bringing about prohi- bition reform. Either that or he wants to share in the glory that will go to the man or group of men who eventually lead this nation away from prohibition into some other and more salutary. form of liquor con- troll We incline to the latter theory. We think that Senator Bingham has seized upon prohibition as an opportunity to test certain theories that he entertans. Also he found it necessary to increase his popularity early this year and seized the one available oppor- tunity - popular issue and the senator on the peoples side. Why not the Bingham plan if it means advancement up the politi-. cal ladder.

Here, There And EDerylDhere

even the post office department realized how keen the demand would be. We learn that the New York office was forced to ask that million one-cent stamps be sent from Washington by. airplane on Thursday, which was done, while another seven million left by train. Twenty million more were shipped on the day following. We have heard nothing from Boston or Chi cago though we should suppose that both cities might need assist ance if New York found itself in such, dire straits.
 One wonders if business houses in New York or elsewhere have reflected that all would not be lost even though the supply of one-cent stamps became exhausted. They would remain the one-half- cent stamp, and two of these used in connection with two-cent stamp would fill the needs of patrons of the various posht offices. No great amount of time is required to af- fix two stamps instead of ones And as one considers the matter, 1t Oc- CUTS to him that two one and a half-cent stamps are the equivalent of the three-cent type. Most post offices abound in these we are sure.
 It may be assumed that the de-
 nand for the green stamps came from those who have stock of two-cent stamped envelopes on hand of which they wish to dis pose. For these we suggest again
 the utility of the one-half-cent stamp in blocks of two. They are not gaudy but they will suffice in the event of a scarcity of the one cent issues.

HILLTOP IN SUMMER

Up through the sprucy woods until we reached 4 level of soft sunlight there we stood And looking downward saw the small boats
 beached
 Beyond the silver tide; beyond. the wood, Ehn with light and emerald, called us on Through thicket and through fern until we
 found
 A softed darknoss. an oblivion. Studded with pearl. n wide. enchanted ground, There on the summer hilltop, with tho day Sleeping Co music and tho sound of trees, We looked upon the world of yesterday Remembering how once above the broeze We two ns children had stood breathlcss there Tip.toe with wonder in the upper air.
