47TH GRID SEASON.
Eternal Freshman of Game
Laughs at Putting Foes
in Daily Stunts.
BY RUSSELL J. NEWLAND.
Associated Press Sports Writer.


CTOCKTON, Calf. August a.
Foot balls eternal freshman"
Amos Alonzo Stagg, was "a
years old few days ago-and
If he keeps on feeling the way he does
now he expects to be coaching when
he is 100.
The beginning of his forty-seventh
season as foot ball mentor finds Stagg,
as he put it today. "fit as a fiddle. If
I felt any better I'd turn out for the
team myself"
The silver-thatched, nimble- footed
little gentleman Is growing old so re-
luctantly that he arises at 6 o'clock
in the morning to walk and run 2
miles before breakfast. He plays ten
mis- several times week; laughs when
youthful opponents puff and blow.
True Grid Patriarch.
IN couple of weeks he will round
up his college of the Pacific boys
for his fourth season here as coach.
Then the fun really will begin for a
patriarch who has been teaching
young men what and what not to do
with foot ball for 46 years.
In 1890 he started the coaching
career which is unrivaled in American
college gridiron history. He spent
two years at Springfield (Mass) Col
lege; then put in Al years at Univer-
sity Of Chicago.
He thinks foot ball is the finest OF
all sports. the true character builder,
something which fits into the life of
young men.
1T teaches unity, team spirit,
breeds courage, combats selfshness,
improves youth mentally and physical
ly." he said. What other recon-
mendations are necessary"
Other Stagg-isms:
Foot ball is game for individuals,
but not of individualism.
I'D rather have one ordinary
player who thinks of the team first
than II stars who think of it last.
Must Be Straight-laced.
mo PLAYER of mine may use
tobacco. liquor or profanity and
expect to remain on the squad; they
don't mix with foot ball.
"All-America player selections are
all right, but they serve no purpose.
Nevertheless, as end at Yale am
proud to have been named for the first
all-America team in 1899.
There really is nothing so new in
foot ball. Criss-crosses were in vogue
in the Dos. We call them reverses
now.
THE boy who plays clean, hard
game always will have his self-respect

SOFT BALL FINAL GOAL
Ag, Census Tens Play for Right
to Face Erlich for Title.

Clashing for the right to face the
Erich Poultry ten for the District
soft-ball championship, United States
Aggies and Census tossers were to
square of today at 5 o'clock in a semi
final tilt at Griffith Stadium.
Bob Plaisted, crack right-hander,
was to take the mound for Census,
while Abe Rosenfield was to flip them
plateward for the Aggies. The finalists
will meet for the title tomorrow, either
at Grifith Stadium at night or on q
diamond to be announced in the after
noon.

Competition Too Great.

THE way the professional schedule
shapes up this year it looks as
if there wouldn't be spot for us
even if We started out to raise around
$4,000 for such a tournament" says
Witty. Il never have seen so many
open affairs in the East at this time
of year, and still they come. Lynch
burg, Va, is angling for date In
October with prospect for a 5000
open tournament at the Boonsboro
course. The P. G. A. championship
comes in during mid-November, then
the Augusta tournament and then will
start the round of Florida affairs. 1t
looks as if, even if we wanted to hold
one. that the schedule is too full"
It's rather q shame, too. that the
National Capital open hasn't been
picked up again either by Kenwood
or some other club and made into a
permanent fixture on the local links
schedule For four years it was the
single big professional affair held in
this neighborhood and gave Wash
ingtonians a chance to look over the
top stars of the game without travel
ing far from their own f1resides.

"OUR large sharks invaded the
- fishing grounds Of the Lower
Potomac last week. and were
4 promptly shot to death by
Game Warden Eric Floyd Of Medley's
Neck, st. Marys County.
The sharks, which Floyd believes
were man-eaters from the deep sea,
were tearing up the one-pound trap
fishing nets of Capt. Preston Fields,
in which they had been entangled.
The game warden fired first in one
side and then in the other of each of
the big fellows.
The last shark killed in st. Marys
was found in the seine net of Capt.
Charles Clark of Chuckle's Creek,
September q year ago. The skipper
whacked it to death with an anchor
after hauling 1t aboard his boat. The
shark was cut up into steaks and put
on the menu Of the Leonardstown Inn.
THE recent rains have spoiled for
= another week at least hope of
bass fishing at Great Falls. The fresh
waters of the Upper Potomac are
loaded with silt. The downpour came
the day after Capt. Joe Fletcher
hooked several bass casting from the
shore by the Falls.
Fletcher returned only few days
ago from . trip to Canada, where he
pulled fish by the dozen from Alice's
Lake, IS miles from Toronto His
catch included plenty Of bass, uskies,
pike, rainbow trout and speckled trout.
They don't bite up there on ar
tificial bait, Fletcher reports. He used
crawfish and bulldogs, however. with
great success.

first visit Of the season to the

James Garner of Georgetown, Mike

Rosedale's strength. as Sherwood's,
lies in the fact that both teams have
capable performers in every division,
with each possessing two or three po-
tential flrst-place winners.
A colorful parade. headed by the
championship Sherwood squad, will
precede the meet, with Meyer Sarrota
of Sherwood leading the review and

sheds is that pines may be planted
closely together and when properly
cared for will grow tall without
large branches sprouting from their
trunks, thus furnishing good,
straight timber which is largely
free from knots. This Is of partic-
ular advantage since the purpose Of
the extensive planting Of water
sheds Is not only to break the fall
OF heavy rain and thereby to per-
NIT the water TO seep slowly through
the soil into the reservoirs without
, carrying topsoil with 1t, but also to
make 1t possible for the water util-
tiles to gain some financial return
upon this vast acreage Of land
which for sanitary reasons cannot
be devoted to other purposes.
Water Company officials are some
times asked why the watershed
land cannot be devoted to agricul-
tural pursuits which would enable
a much more substantial return
than the slow process Of cultivating
timber for the market. The answer
Is that If land adjacent to public
water supply reservoirs were used
for farming there would always be
the danger of contamination from
livestock and human habitation. As
1t is now, land not close to the
reservoirs but from which there Is
some drainage into the public sup
ply Is kept under constant surveil-
lance to prevent development Of
sources of pollution.

Business In the United States con-
tinues to show the favorable fea-
lures that have been observed In
recent months, states the current
issue Of The Guaranty Survey, pub
lished by the Guaranty Trust Com
pany of New York.
The trend In the last few weeks
has been characterized by stability
and moderate seasonal expansion,
The Survey continues, rather than
by further sharp gains, a tendency
that Is natural in view Of the ex-
ceptionally slight lull that took place
In the summer.
The normal seasonal expansion In
general business Is reflected In the
railway freight movement, which
has advanced to a new high level
for the year and continues to show
q substantial margin Of gain above
the 1895 figures. The same Is true
Of electric power production, which
for several weeks has run consist
emily more than Is per cent. above
the totals for the corresponding pc
RODS last year.
Retail trade has also been well
maintained, business failures have
continued, at the lowest level re-
ported in many years, end the gen.
eral level Of commodity prices has
remained stable, although some
weakness has appeared in basic
commodities In the last few weeks
This reactionary tendency has beer
most apparent In markets for some
Of the leading farm commodities
which had shown exceptionally
sharp gains over period Of several
months. The recession, however
has not yet continued long enough
to suggest reversal of trend.
Continued Gains I'm Employment
Among the favorable business re-
ports that have been made public
In the last few weeks Is that Of the
Department of Labor covering in

ers and weekly payrolls by more
than $2,500,000. The gain marks the
sixth successive month in which In
creases In employment have beer
shown. Comparisons with earle:
periods show an increase Of more
than 1000, 600 workers in these In
dustries and a rise Of nearly $32,-
100000 In weekly payrolls since Sep
TENDER. 1885, and gain of approx
imately 100000 workers since the
low point Of the depression In
March, 1888.
