Gaffney Makes Offer of Frec Use of Braves New Field if Stadium Is Not Available. Boston, Sept. 29.—An offer of the free use of Braves field, the - home grounds of the Boston National league baseball team, for the annual football game between Harvard and Yale on November 20, was made yes- terday to,Fred W. Moore, graduate manager of the Harvard Athletic as- sociation, by James E. Gaffney, presi- deént of the Boston club. The statement was made yesterday that the contest might not be staged in the Harvard stadium owing to the withholding by the city authorities of permission to erect temporary wooden stands which would . increase tke normal seating capocity of 22,000 to more than 40,000. Braves field has a seating accommodation for 45,000. It had been sugscsted that if the erection of temporary stands was not allowed, the game might be plaved in the Yale bowl at New Haven. Last year’s game was at. New Haven and under the alternating arrangeirent this year's contest was to have been played here. The building commiis- sioner stipulates that concrete, fire- proof stands be built, and the Har: vard athletic authorities declare there is not time for such construction. SOX TRY BRAVES FIELD. Pennant Winners Try Grounds That ‘Will Be Scene of World’s Series- Boston, Mass,, Sept. 29-—The Bos- ton Red Sox, who, because of the Tigers’ defeat at Washington yester- day, will be champions when they either win one more game in seven or the Tigers lose one in the remain- ing fire, trooped out to Braves Field yesterday for practice. Two teams were picked at random, all of ‘the players under contract and eligible to play ip the world’s series getting into action, and Forrest - Cady’s squad winning a five-inning brush, 2 to 1. The Red Sox, particularly the out- fielders, were bothered by the shift of scene, and found the footing of the new field much softer and more uneven than at Fenway Park. ‘Del Gainer celebrated the Red Sox entry into the Braves' domain by hammering out a home run, the first which has been made inside ‘he limits of the fleld. Manager Carrigan tried out all his pitchers, Foster, Shore, Leonard and Ruth working. These are the men on whom Boston will rely to beat the Phillies. Jack Barry was out with the squad, but did not play- He is still slightly lame because of his' weak ankle, but says that he wil pay in New York next week, and will be in the line up and in good trim at the time of the world’s series. The Red Sox will work out at Braves Field tomorrow morn- ing, and again os Thursday morning, WINNERS OF PENNANTS, ‘Where Buntings Will Fly Next Seasun in Various Leagues.

British Headquarters, France, Au- gust 31.—Little is known to the out- side world about 8ir William Robert- sonK.C.V.0.,,K.C. B.,,D. 8. 0, whose remarkable career from the ranks to Chief of Staff of the Army is so well known to the army itself. His work in relation to that of Sir John French, the commander-in-chief has been described as that of the gen- eral manager of a great corporation to that of its President. A powerfully built country boy, he came to London at the age of nine- teen and enlisted in the 9th Lancers. Pramotion from the ranks is not fre- quent. The great majority of offi- cers come from the military school at Sandhurst. But the door is kept open for a private of good educa- tian and character. By passing 'a stiff examination he may secure a commission. Only Elementary Education. Young Robertson had had only an elementary education; but he set out to make up for the deficiency by study. He invested his shilling a day, which is the pay of a British private, in books. As a British regular trooper has none too much time to himself he used to get com- rades to read to him from Bacon and the English classics while he was groaming his horse or cleaning his equipment. Not until he had served ten years did he pass’ his examination which gave him a commission in the 3rd Dragoon Guards. He was then 29 and the average second lieutenant had about eight years the start of him on the Army llist. In the course of lineal promotion he could never hope to be more than a major, Special promotion could come only through distinguishing himself. Mac- Danald who won fame by his charge at Omduran and other eminent British commanders who had risen from the ranks had won their way as natural leaders of men in the fleld. Robert- son’s career is the more striking, of- ficers say, because it is due to ex- cellence in organization and in the application of the methods of modern war which presupposes the grounding of a thorough scientific military edu- cation. Opportunity In India. Four years after he had received his commission he had won enough attention to be assigned to the Intel- ligence branch of the Quartermaster’s Department in India. In India he found his opportunity. Rewards are given officers for learning native dia- lects. To the average officer there is noth- ing very attractive in spending hours with a native ‘“munshi” or teach- er in acquiring a tongue which can be of use with only some frontier | judging by the way he is gaining at present, he has a fine chance of re- taining his lead until the end of the season. Luderus has been walloping the sphere at a great rate all seascn. His has also put up a brilliant game at the initial station Pat Moran says that he considers Luderus, next to Daubert, the best first sacker in the National league tribe. Robertson offered his munshi a quarter of the reward® when he was proficient enough to earn it by passing an examination. Lesson Before Breakfast. Sir William, when he is reminiscent will recall what an excellent bargain this proved to be. / The munshi saw to it that his pupil did not fail to improve any spare moments. He would be waiting at his pupil’s door at daybreak and put him through an ihour’s lesson before breakfast. Hav- ing mastered one dialect Robertson undertook another and then another. Soon he became known as a language expert. This gained for him another opoprtunity which was to apply his knowledge by explorations on the Northwest frontler. When the Chi- tral trouble came his linguistic ace complishments and his knawledge of the country were invaluable. He came out of the Chitral campaign with the Distinguished Service Order for sers vices which included gallantry in ac- tion when he was severely wounded. Now he was a “marked man” in the service, marked by stubborn applica- tion which had brought him from the ranks and by his demonstrated abil- ity. * “Everyone had to admire him,” as another general said. “He had won his way without influence against odds by sheer hard work making the most of his natural gifts.” Praised by Leaders. On the staff throughout the South African campaign he earned the praise of Roberts and Kitchener by his capacity for getting things done when Jthers sometimes failed. When in 1910 he was placed in command of the Army Staff College even those who agreed that he had shown him- self to be th: man for the place were amazed at the thought of a man who had been for ten years a private with- out any groundwork of regular aca- demic education should become the director of an institution which gath- ers the ablest officers of the army for instruction in the higher branches of war and gives the character to army organization in time of war. Meantime he had kept on with his languages. He now knew French and German and ne had studied the con~ tinental army systems. There seems to be general agreement that his im- provement of the staff college marked an epoch. As director of military training at the war office he later had much to do with the preparation of the British expeditionary force. He went to France with it as quartermaster-gen- —_———en KEEP WELL AND STRONG by giving the proper attention to the matter of digestion. “Nuvida Laxative Tablets”. is a purely vegetable laxative which will render the digestive organs strong and healthy, adding to your physical vigor in every way.

Despite his life of unremitting application he has few the impression of the physical vigor | and endurance which enables him to | keep up the pace of sixteen hours hard work a day. Those who go into his office know him as man of few words, a good listener, who sticks to | the facts and never indulges in theo- ries. “He does not hesitate to do away with red tape,” said one of his as- sistants. “The essential point with him is to get the thing done. During the retreat from Mons we lost a great deal of material. officers and men lost all their equip- ment even including their caps in some instances. As the government clothes and equips the men they could be cared for. But the officers pay for their own. They would have to fill out certain forms for reim- bursement which would have to go to the war office—but Sir William settled that in a minute by giving orders that they should be supplied and we could take care of the red tape after- ward. Throughout all the vicissi- tudes of the campaign from Mons to the Aisne and then to the Ypres-Ar- mentieres line the soldiers never went short of food. Regardless of red tape and any other obstacles he saw taat in some way or other their rations reached them. He is proud of the fact that he rose from the ranks and he dislikes publicity. His one supreme interest is his work., He likes work for work’s sake.’ POSTCARD SHOWERS PAT M\RAN St, Petersbury, Fla., Sept 29—Base- ball enthusiasm, stimulated to a great extent by the fact that the Philadel- phia Nationals train here, has led to preparations for a ‘‘postcard shower” Among other things | Enthusiasts here hope there It | will be at least 1,000 cards.

Fortunately they were disappointed for the fire was on the rallroad side of the foun- dry “building in a quantity of waste paper and other debris in a coke bin. The damage was slight, The origin of the fire is not known but when the department arrived the window casing facing the railroaq was burning and the fire apparently had a commanding start. Chief Dama ordered several lines of hose stretched and the city department, aided by the factory firemen who had been sum- moned by the sounding of the factory whistle, soon had the brisk blaze under control. The location of the fire was such that it was necessary to stop al rail- road traffic between New Britain and Bristol for several lines of hose were laid across the tracks and the appara- tus was also stationed on the cros- sing. Hundreds of people also throng- ed the tracks and the policemen had a hard time keeping them out of the way of the firemen. | Fred Lockery, an inmate at the Sol- 'diers’ Home, was sent to jail by Judge | Meskill this morning for. thirty daye jen a charge of vagrancy.
