The Inland mill which recently purchased two big lake steamers for the transportation of its ore and products will not put the steamers In commission this winter carrying ore. The mill had contracted previously to the purchase of the big boats for the hauling of all its ore for the season, and .has therefore let the monster craft as grain carriers. Two weeks ago they left for Erie ports. The boats are the Hawgood and the Woodford, the former a
34 hatch boat, capable of carrying 12.000 tons, and the latter containing 32 h:ches, and having a capacity of 10.000 tons. Owing to the locks at the Soo, the boats have , never been able to make use of their full capacity in hauling ore, as in passing through this point they can draw but 18 feet 6 Inches of water. Then the new locks are Installed to be completed within a year, the full s ervice of the boats will be available.

BARS GRIDIRON STARS
FOR SUNDAY PLAYING
St. Phillips Faculty En
forces Football League's Rules.
A severe blow was dealt the St. Phil
lips High School footbal team yester
day when three star men, Burns,
Bernier and Ogden, were disqualified
for the rest of the season for playing
Sunday football with outside teams.
1 promised tne board or control o
the High School League that St. Phil lips would abide by the rules of the or
ganization and I intend to keep m
word, said Father Gallagher yesler
aay. - ah tne rooibau players were
warned not to play with any othe
team. Three three men did not heed
my warning, and as a result will not be allowed to participate in football
again this year or on any other team
if the board of control so wishes."
Despite the number of football up
sets which featured last Saturday's
obtests, an incident that seldom hap
pens at this time of the year, struggles are scheduled for next Saturday which
also may result In the same number of surprises aside from eliminating sup-
poedly stronger elevn from the race for their respective titles.
In the west local Interst will center
around the Northwestern-Wisconsin
truggle at Kvanston. while the Michl-
gan-Vanderbilt struggle at Ann Arbor
will command attention. As the Purple
eleven and Badgers have not been de
feated, the loser of this contest, which
hould result In hard and aggressive
football, will be eliminated from the conference race.
Northwestern has made a better start
this season than any Purple eleven since
Dixie Fleager led th team which held Chicago to an 0 to 0 tie in 1903 and virtually outplayed the Maroons
hroughout the entire contest. Coach
Hammett's team this year has met and
defeated Monmouth, Illinois, Wesleyan, and Indiana, while Wisconsin has ac
cumulated the scalp of Ripon, Lawrence, and Colorado college. In
thee strugles the Purple team and the Badgers have played an advanced article of football, and a marked improvement was discernible In each suc
ceeding contest.

Philadelphia, Oct. 24. The big event the throat of the expiring Giant.
Pro: 1 The sun shone all day, and lifted moisture in chunks from the spongecake field of Shibe Park. 2 The wind helped a whole lot. 3 There is outlook for a whole lot more sun and wind. Con: The experience of a week and tha disappointments and wrecked prophecies since last Wednesday. Take your choice. Connie Mack looks for a game. He had his athletes out in the afternoon and they practiced batting and throwing, .without anybody showing any sign of stalenes from the week's rest. In fact Mr. Mack thinks that his charges were Just a trifle fine, and as a result of the delay will go into the battle better than ever. It was something like 8 o'clock In the
mornig when the umpires, after inspecting the grounds, reported by phone to the National Commission In
New ,JTork .that there was no chance of a game. The august body that has re
mained stationary in the metropolis promptly put its veto on a contest. The Giants came over Sunday night and accepted the offer of the us of the Phillies' grounds for practice from President Fogel and went out yesterday . afternoon, a goodly company of fans being on hand to have a look at their work. Manager BcGraw frankly admits that he regards, today's game as the vital one for the hopes of the Giants, If he can win it makes It a series again, with the -chances even. If he loses It Is about all oft with the Giants. Rube Oldring, the Athletic center fielder, returned yesterday- from Yoniiers, N.

Hammond Post Office : By drecticn of the Post Office Department, the attention of patrons of this office is invited to the advantages of providing facilities for the receipt of their mail by erecting conveniently accessible boxes or cutting suitable slots In their doors. Such action would enable the postmaster to give a prompter and better delivery service with the means at his disposal, since the carriers can cover much more territory In less time if not compelled to wait for an answer of their ring. Private receptacles for mail are also a great convenience to the householder, obviating the necessity of responding to the carrier's call at Inconvenient moments and permitting safe delivery of mall In the absence of members of the household. They also prevent the occasional necessity o a carrier's proceeding on his route without delivering mail because a failure to answer his ring within a reasonable time, and, enable him to make deliveries to patrons living on or near the end of the route at an earlier hour It has been shown by actual experience that the benefits derived by patrons of city delivery from the use of such receptacles far outweigh the small expense involved. As this office Is interested In furnishing the best possible service at the least expense, your compliance with the foregoing suggestions will be much appreciated. Respectfully, F. R. SCHAAF, Postmaster.
The Postmaster General will ask for a law to go into effect at the close of the year, requiring everybody who receives mail by carrier to have a mail box at his door. 1 To help its patrons prepare for this law at very little or no expense, THE TIMES has purchased a large supply of MAIL BOXES, to be distributed to any of the paper's patrons who arrange for them promptly. The boxes which THE TIMES will put out are of the latest approved patterns, that are entirely acceptable to the Postoffice Department. They are provided with a large locked receptacle for letters, cards and other mail, and
are recommended by the Postmaster. One of these Boxes will be given ABSOLUTELY FREE to any one paying one. vear's subscription in advance, OR a'Box to any one paying six months' subscription and 30 cents, - OR you can secure one of these boxes bv cutting out and presenting at THE TIMES' office one (1) of the "MAIL BOX COUPONS" (that are now appearing in THE TIMES) with 50 cents.
