14 ISLANDERS WHITE WASH UTES IN THRILLING BATTLE WHITEWASH FOR DONAHUE'S UTES il&landers Show Speed; Huenke \Vins Great Dual; Walker Is Wild Those fighting Ute« went away last night with two whitewash defeats chalked up against them. The Island ers used the brushes. The second ' kalsomining came yesterday in a I thrilling duel between Huenke and Walker. The latter thinks he is a champ because he won the Tuesday game. Huenke showed him how to pitch. The best Utica could do was a hit an ' Inning for five innings. Something like a stonewall was back of the local ' twirler and if one ball did get away , other hits were snatched from the ! bingle area In a sensational manner. Walker Is' Wild Walker was wild but he too had a fast fielding bunch back of him. Mills 'was the local hitting star. His two ( bagger in the fourth started the trouble. Elliott sacrificed and Walter Blair directed a fly ball to rightfield that allowed Mills to score. In the i sixth Downey was passed. Gough sae- Irificed and Mills singled scoring the third sacker who cleared the plate notwithstanding this bad pair of legs. Mike O'Neill and his Syracuse champions will be the final League attraction to-day and to-morrow. There will be something doing as ■wagers have been made that Harris burg will take both games. O'Xeill wants to trot home with a season's • record for games won. The score: UTICA AB. R. H. O. A.

Pa., Sept. S. The foot ball squad of the University of Pitts burgh. which last year divided honors with Cornell in the struggle for the collegiate championship, began active preparations for the 1916 season this week. On Tuesday Coach Warner led his men to the training cShip in Som erset county, near Windber, and on the following day the first practice was held. Six lettermean and a half dozen substitutes from last year's squad are missing, but in their places the coach has seven or eight men who starred on the 1915 freshman team, or who were unable to take part in football last year. Many Varsity Men There are about 35 men in the var sity aggregation, which includes IT players who won the varsity letter in 1914 or 1915. Almost all the athletes reported in excellent physical condi tion, and it is probable that Coach Warner will institute regular scrim mages within a few days. Among the eligibles who are striv ing for positions on the line are five stalwarts who tip the scales at 200 pounds or better, and it is probable that the average weight of the squad will be very little less than that of last year. A punter must be developed to assist Fullback Fry. as Captain Wil liamson. who divided the booting re sponsibilities with him last year, graduated in June.

Two new v.-orld's records were made here yesterday when St. Frisco won the classic Charter Oak stake for 2.08 trotters after six of the most exciting heat 3 of light harness racing ever witnessed at Charter Oak Park. The second heat was declared by the judges a dead heat, the time 2.07>4, displacing the world's record set in 1904 on the Brighton Beach track, Xew York, when Sweet Marie and Aristo raced a dead heat in The other record established was the fastest six-heat race, the average time for the six heats being 2.07*4, against 2.07 19-24, set at Lexington, Ky.. in 1910, in a race won by Spanish Queen. All three events were fairly fast and close, but the Charter Oak event fur nished a thrill in every finish. Less than half a head separated St. Fris co and Mabel Trasn at the close of each heat.

Hughes and Barnes were his opponents and the score stood 0-0 unlil Captain Luderus singled with two out In the ninth and the bases filled, scoring two runs. The long left-hander from the hot side ot the Mason and Dixon line un furled a brand of pitching for the Bos ton eyes that made the fans groan thtoughout the. first six innings of the first game. In that time the wild Braves- failed to knock out a single sate hit. The Phils had been making hay. or rather hits, and had a 3 to 0 lead. Golf Titleholder Winner Over Atlanta Boy Champion Special to the Telegraph Philadelphia, Sept. 8. Youth was served with defeat yesterday in the national amateur golf tournament at Merion, but not until its name was graven indelibly on tne tablets of Am erican golf history. Toung Bobby Jones, aged 14. from Atlanta, with the scalps of Eb Byers and Frank Dyer, doughty golfers both, dangling from his belt, teed off against the reigning amateur goffer of the time in the third round, and it was too large an order for the young 'un. At 3.21 p. m. a beautiful putt from a far corner of the green brought Gard ner to the very rim of the cup, and when he sank it for a five the match was his, for it was the thirty-third hole, and halving it kept the cham pion's lead four up. Gardner, sportsman to the core, grasped the youngster's hand as the ultimate putt sank, for he had shown nerve under fire worthy of one twice his years. He lost, tiut never has one of such tender years achieved the antepenultimate round of a national tournament. If the luck of the draw had not pitted him against Gardner yesterday he might nave reached the semi-finals. PASTORS HURT IX BAIL GAME Special to the Telegraph Williamsport, Pa., Sept. 8.

(Correspondence of the Associated Press.) —Although French scientists have done a good deal to help the government catch up with Germany in the scientific depart ments of her military preparation, there is still complaint that their ser vices have not been utilized to the best advantage, and the Academy of Sciences now poses a question as to whether men of technical training shall not have a greater share in the formidable work of reorganizing France after the war. Henry Le Chatelier, of *he Institute, proposes that the Academy go to work at once to formulate the working methods best calculated to accelerate the industrial and economic recovery of the county, without waiting for politicians to decide whether the ser vices of technical and scientific men will be accepted. Members of the institute expected that the government would have re course to their technical knowledge in the organization of some of the army departments.

Under the parliamentary regime the presence of men not members of par liament in the government is not look ed upon with favor. Premier Briand was obliged to overcome considerable resistance in order to get the chamber of deputies to acceat such specialties as General Gallieni in the -war de partment and Admiral Lacaze at the head of the navy. "The administration has no use for savants," is a remark attributed to the bureaucrats of the war and navy de partments. Both those portfolios have been held by civilians at most critical periods of the history of the Third Re public. Previous to the Rouvier administra tion in 1905, there had always been a soldier at the head of the war depart ment with the exception of the admin istrations of Charles de Freycinet, who was. however, a technlcan of the high est competence. Since that period the department has been in the hands of civilians seven years out of eleven. The navy department has been ad-- ministered by a naval officer only three yeads out o fthe last twonty. The rest of the time it was in the hands of lawyers or journalists.
