Instead he goes up and gets Smith, the bosun, feet it. if he's an inch, and tells the bosun to get his uniform on and go down.  The bosun comes down and by this time a couple of the black gang heard the fun and are stick ing their knobs down the hatch. It's lucky thing the bosun hes got pair of lungs like Execution Rock lighthouse foghorn. He steps in between the two men, with his uniform shining, and he slips them apart as neat as you please, duck ing haymaker from Cassidy's side of the fence.
 "Now, now, what's ailing you boys?" the bosun says, as nice as you please. "What is it can make two men, fine friends like you are. fight like bloody enemies? Come now. tell a shipmate what's the trouble?"
 Well sir, them two blokes just kind of hung their heads and wouldn't say nothing, and they keeps staring at each other in that hard way, like it is to the death. and the bosun, he don't know what to do.
 And to make short story short CT, them Irishmen wouldn't say nothing until the skipper comes down and pumps them; and take 1t from me the skipper Is a hard old bird, and knows how to scare the pants off of sailors. In the first place the stokers ain't hardly ever seen the old man and when he comes down into the stoke hole,i and then promises to put the two of them in irons, well, after a while Cassidy talks. ,.u. x Seems like Mccarthy was kid- ding Cassidy about his canary while they was finishing up pint they snuck aboard. Cassidy feels sore enough that his bird don't sing like McCarthy's and that starts the fight. because for a positive fact McCarthy's canary is one sweet singer.
 So when the skipper finally got that out of them, he goes over to the birds and 1t seems the old man bought one of the birds himself and knows a thing or two about canaries. So, with the whole gang looking on, the skipper lays in into them two harps.
 "It's sorry day" the skipper says, "when two sailors aboard my own ship don't know the differences between the two sexes. In other words, there is such a thing. like the Bible says. as male and female. and what these birds is singing about is that they are in different cages. As captain of this here boat, therefore, l am agoing to marry these two little mites here and now, and put the female in with the male where she belongs. And no more funny business out of you men,"
 And darned if he didn't.
 And Cassidy and Mccarthy were good friends the rest of the trip. Copyright, 1895, The Chicago Daily

: DAILY SHORT STORY :

It is on the homo run, when wN are week out of New York, chat the skipper notices something wrong with the steam and sends down Third Officer Herbstein to see what the devil. Herbstein goes over tho black gang and finally gets down 70 the stoke hole. What he sees is nothing else but a gosh awful fight. If you ever seen two big. crazy Irishmen fighting you know what it is like, and not until; and don't mean nothing against the Irish, be- ing mostly Erin myself.
 They socks each other every where from the solar plexus np and down, and it's a lucky break neither of them stumbles and fall. They got blood in both eyes, and there is nothing that Herbstein can do in the way of yelling at them, and being a little half-pint himself, he ain't no referee.

The article appeared in the Sewanee

In England, he wrote, foot ball has
remained a game played by boys and
played with joy of the game. Our
foot ball simply is not a gentleman's

GAME TOMORROW
SHOULD Be WARM
Lincoln Parkers' Running
Attack, Gray's Passing
to Vie for Ground.

TN A fitting climax to a thrill
soaked scholastic series. Tech and
Eastern will square of tomorrow
i in the final fray of the high
school schedule at Central Stadium
in q battle to determine runner-up
honorS
AS much alike as the music Of a
couple of German bands. the teams
promise to wage one Of the most Bit
terly fought contests of the cam
paign.
Tech, which showed a vastly i'm
proved team in its $40 win over
Western, will bank on Francis Grim
minis, bruising fullback, and Stan
Wells, elusive quarterback, to show
the way through the rock-ribbed
Eastern forward wall.
Jack Shugrue, who sprinted 80
yards to score the only touchdown
against the championship Central
eleven in series play; Al Kidwell,
blond halfback, and Capt. Glenn
''Hawk" Shaw, who has yet to measure
up to expectations, will bear the brunt
of the Lincoln Parkers' attack.
Have Clever Linemen.
A IL attention will not be on these
- standout ball carriers, however,
for some of the best linemen in the
series are certain to shine. The
Maroon can boast of Dutch" Preller,
one of the foremost scholastic guards
in the city; Moe Schulman, steady
center, and Joe Oehmann, rugged
tackle.
On the other hand, Artie Boyd's
battlers probably can balance. that
trio with its pair of crack ends, Bob
Brand and Allan Miller, and its hefty
center. Len Capossela.
Eastern's running attack. which
gained 1875 yards against Central,
probably will overshadow Techs, but
Hap Hardell's crew looms the better
bet when the teams take to the air.
The Lincoln Parkers' aerials cannot be
regarded lightly. however, for the
Eastern eleven uncovered a new pass
ing combination, Shugrue to Michael,
in their last test, and they may prove
dangerous tomorrow.
Tech will be shooting to get above
the 500 mark. having won three and
dropped as many in six engagements.
Eastern, which has fallen only before
Washington-Lee High and Central,
will be striving for its seventh victory
In nine starts.

The two varsity teams Of the early

units, have been scrambled, and IN
the last three games have been used
INTERCHANGEABLE, substitutions being
made one by one.
Not only has the spread" team a

much farther apart, and plays worked
out accordingly, but its own coaches
and substitutes drilled in the same
kind of play.
Has Some Good Players.
THE team. which has been called the
third team, actually has some
players who rank with the best on
the squad. It has two fine halves
in Tom Edwards, the Nays most
effective back against Princeton. and
Carl Fellows, the basket ball cap
