A FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Manager Mulkins Has Arranged for 11 Games—First Bulke- ley Game Here Oct. 31—Varsity Showed Good Form in First Scrimmage—Second Team Will be Fast. | Manager Stanley OMulkins of the Academy football team has arranged a well balanced schedule for this season with six home and five out of towa zames. It is hoped to oper the season this Saturda§ with Stonington here, but no word has been heard from Stonington up to Tuesday evening. The big games of the year, Bulkeley, come on Oct. 31 and Nov. 14, with the first game at Norwich and the second at New London. The game for Thanksgiving day is uncertain vet, but a team of good standing will be secured. The schedule follows: Sept. 26—Stonington at Norwich. Oct. 3—Conn. Aggles at Storrs. Oct. 10—Greeneville Athletic club. Oct. 14—Windham at Willimantic. L. Manual Training at t. 1 Norwich. 4+—Stonington at Stonington. . 31—Bulkeley at Norwich. . 7—Windham at Norwich. . 14—Bulkeley at New London. 3 2g:Wester1y at Westerly. . 2 first scrimmage of the season was held Tuesday. Although it was hot, both teams plugged away at each other until the varsity scored two touchdowns. Several well directed for- ward passes were pulled off by both squads, and at times the scrubs made large gains. = The varsity will be lighter thdn in former years, but have a fast combi- nation in the backfield that will keep any team busy in downing them. <Captain Murtha and Avery are fast men at the halves and have a great faculty of getting away in quick time. The fullback position was filled by Mullins Tuésday and it is reported that Charles Young, the baseball captain, bas had much gridiron training and will try out for this position. The line has been strengthened quite a bit in the returning of Stevens, who will hold the center position. The varsity lined up Tuesday as follows: Stevens ls, Beebe lt, Melvin le, O'Hearn rg, Wilcox rt, Heanult re, J. Hull gb, Stanley rhb, Avery Ihb, Murtha (capt.), and fb, Mullens, George Cass, who was playing with the scrubs Tuesday, met with a pain- ful accident when trying to break up interference. He fell and in some manner broke his leg. He was taken to his home and medical assistance was rendered to him. jimmy pipe ! answer what’s the ATHLETIC UNION LOSES BIG MAN IN SULLIVAN i S oy Father of Athletics Has Done Much for Young Boys and Girls. They have yet to write “30” on the last copy of James . Sullivan. No man dies and enters oblivion whose obsequies draw forth the sobbing mul- titudes that followed the “Father of Athletics” to his grave. No man ends all in death whose heritage means the health and honor of the American boy and girl. “Jim” Sullivan has just be- gun to live. & Death often discloses genius not un- derstood in life. It has unfolded here an apostle. Wherever on earth a child bends to’ his task with more nerve and sinew, he will reflect the mission of Sullivan. Wherever the aim is bet- ter men and women and the goal is soundness in mnid and body, the in- spiration is the paternal shade of E;ulgvan——sumvan‘s legacy to man- nd. 3 James E. Sullivan died in harness with bis shoulder against the athletic wheel he constructed. Staggered by the horrors of war his idealistic mind could not conceive possible Sullivan grew restless. And his anxiety and grief grew lest the world's champion- ships in San Francisco next year be injured, and he died with that anx- fety, born of his devotion of his life long friend Dr. Frederic J. V. SKiff, the venerable director-in-chief of the Panama-Pacific International Expesi- tion, who had rejoiced in his triumphs on the field and, later, in the forum of athletic leadership, as he would a fa- vorite son. Sullivan had arranged with his zeal for world tests in physical perfection an extraordinary series of events at the exposition, and had been able to focus the eye of the athletic world on those championships. As. director of athletics of the Panama-Pacific expo- sition he visited Europe recently and wrung from the International Olympic committee the right to confer the Olympic medals on the San Francisco winners of blue ribbon events on track and fleld. His joy was unbounded when he returned to New York to find the exposition lists crowded with entrants. He brought with him the entries of, Europe’s foremost perform- ers, and satisfled himself that his big- gest work in athletics was done. The 1915 games, entries, events, prizes and assurances of new records, outstrip the biggest Olympiad. Sullivan aimed to again show the way to Europe in new athletic achievements. He has" succeeded, His last labor will be carried to comple- tion; his last wishes will be religious- ly respected. The exposition will open on date and all of the international events—more numerous and rich in medals and honor than in any Olym- piad—will be run off on the dates fixed by Sullivan, and that his final achievement for athletics may have a memorial to live while man survives, the Panama-Pacific Expesition pro- poses a monument in an eastern city which will symbolize what Sullivan did for humanity and morals. Will Play a Double Header. Rochester, N. Y. Sept. 22—As a re- sult of the tie game between Roches- ter and Buffalo of the International league here today, th score being 3 and 3 at the end of the ninth, when darkness intervened, a double header will be played here tomorrow between these two clubs. As Rochester is lead- ing Buffalo by only half a game for second place, there is keen rivalry be- tween these clubs, as the season ends his week. Providence is conceded first place.

Pekin, China, Sept. 22.—The corre- spondent here of The Associated Press has recelved a letter from Charles A. Leonard of the American Southera Baptist mission at Lai-Chow, Shan- Tung province, in which Chinese re- ports of ill-treatment of the loca lin- habitants by Japanese trocps in the country are repeated. Mr, Leonard relates the passage of the western section of the Japanese @rmy, which he says was about 5,000 strong, composed of cavalry, infantry and artillery, and@ which went thro Lai-Chow. The advance guard of the cavalry . did not molest the <Chinese population and compensated them for what provender they took. But when the larger detachments arrived tor- rential rains were fall For thia reason the Japanese did not pitch their tents, but entered the best Chinese homes and compelled local merchants and other Chinese to work for them.

The men fed their horses on the ripening crops and the soldiers killed chickens and cattle for their own use, fre- quently with inadequate or no ocm- pensation. <Continuing, Mr. Leonard that the Chinese women, ter- 'd, deserted their homes. Five, fe said, committed suicide, either to escape attack by the Japanese or after they had been so gftacked. Prozlamations Posted. The various Japanese proclamations osted in the war zone declaring friendship to the Chinese people and republic explain the necessity of ter- minating Germany’s military and naval activities in the Orieut and exhort the people to continue their vocations un- alarmed. 7 “But anyone daring to with our troops will immediately be arrested and punished without mercy,” these proclamations continve. “AlF boats, carts, cattle, horses, fuel, grain and meat required must immediately be supplied to our army, which will compensate for these goods at equita- ble valuations.” Continuing his letter, Mr. Leonard said that military notes are being is- sued as in the Russo-Japanese war and that the redemption of these notes Cleo B. was the favorite but | began at Lungkow Sept. 4. | "It the people were compensated it would not be so bad,” Mr. Leonard writes, “but although I made many inquiries I was unable to learn of com- pensation for chickens, grain and food obtained in Chinese homes; for fuel and furniture burned, or for the occu- patlon: of the house: In concluding his letter Mr. Leon- ard says that the same stories coms from the surrounding countryside. BRITISH FORCES NEED BELTS AND SOCKS. Every Woman in Empire Asked to Help Supply Them. London, Sept. 22, 6.50 p. m—Beils and socks are the prime need of the British expeditionary army, and ev- ery woman In the empire was asked today to do her share tb supply this demand. With the approach of winter 300,000 pairs of socks and an equal number of Dbelts, knitted or woven, according to the war office estimate, should be sup- plied to supplement the regular sup- plies of the army. Queen Mary was notifled of this situation and promised to do her part. She then appealed to British women to aid her. Housewives throughout the land, therefore, will be 'gusy knitting from now until Novem=~, er.
