The representa tives of the Naval Academy consider that X<? v. York would entail too great a Jou:nt-> upon them, while neither Atii-apuiis nor West Point has the V oper acconimodiitions to take care ? f the great crowd that would attend the game. West Point is willing to continue to plav the game on Frar.itiin Field. P'iilanc-lphia, if a better arrangement of merits can lie made. The Army re ceived about $,000 tickets last season, and the same has been offered them this year. It is stated that tin* Army ? an p<%t along with this number, as the Navy <Ioes also, but that it com plaints tliat so many of the seats are far down tin field that a great many "Ulcers and members of their families do not have satisfactory locations for watching the game. It Is believed tliat if a bettor arrangement can be made the Army will withdraw itH objections to Franklin Field. On the other hand, the Navy, while it maintains its position as to a change of location, would probably concede the Army's demands rather than give up the game. In view of the concilia tory spirit in which the representatives are meeting each other there is a very groat probability that an agree ment will be reached. Hoth sides de sire to roach an agreemnt which will stand until changed and cover the time and place of playing future games, so th.it all misunderstandings lfrlll be avoided. Naval people feel that thoy are on solid ground In opposing any change ftom riiiladelphia. That city, it is ad mitted, is moro nearly equally distant from "West I'oint and Annapolis of any place which can afford suitable grounds. The trip from Annapolis to New Vork is so long that it is doubt ful if the department would allow the brigade of midshipmen to go, and much of the interest of the contest would !>e lust if the two student bodies would not attend. This would also be an objoction to playing nt Annapolis or West I'oint, and there would bo assur ance thai the departments would al low the respective students to mako the long trip necessary, with its at tendant upsetting of the routine at the schools. The most serious objection to the old method, however, would bo ilie impos sibility of properly caring for the tre mendous crowd which would attend the games. At Annapolis there is a per- j miinent stand, seating about 0.000 per sons. and some temporary stands could bo erected. At West Point conditions are understood to be even less satis factory, there being no permanent stands nt all. With free admission 50, 000 persons would 1m> a small estimate of those xvho would try to see the game. As it would be out of the ques tion to keep the public off of a Fed eral reservation, there would he no end of discord and bad feeling on the part of those who were kept where they could not see the game. In fact, the suggestion is felt to bo absolutely Impractical. An effort will also be made to reach an agreement which will cover the time of playing the game. West Point lias always wished to play on the Saturday before Thanksgiving: Day, while An napolis likes a week later. It is now proposed that ii be played on the later date, providing it falls not later than November 29, and in such cases to play , on the Saturday before Thanksgiving I Day. It is said that the Army will j accept this, provided November 2S be selected as the latest date on which the game be played. It is now felt that the season is right at hand and that the arrangements should bo completed. The representa tives of the Navy are willing to make any fair concession in order to Insure the future playing of the game. jeffries drugged beforflbig battle SPECTACULAR RACE !

[ Spoc-lal to The Times-Dispatch] New York, August 17.?The direct statement that James J. Jeffries, after his defeat by Jack Johnson at Reno, sought an<l si cured proof that he had been drugged before the battle with the ne^ro Is made in a signed article written by a New York sporting edi tor ami published in an evening paper. The statement follows, in part: "Jeffries hired one of the greatest detective agencies in the world to run down the facts. The details gathered make up a complete story of the most sordid plot that ever turned fair sport iiitu a sure-thing gamble. I'ossibly Johnson would have won in any case, but the cliquc. that handled the betting made It a certainty by drugging Jef fries with the help of men who were in iiis confidence, and who had the run of his camp. They cleaned up a fortune through belting commissioners stationed in many cities. In i'aria ah>ne they wagered $24,000 and won Jli'.OliO. In Reno and San Francisco and lids Angeles and New York their gains went into the hundreds of thousands. "The 'tip' for the big killing was received by the waiting commissioners less than twenty-four hours before the !if_ht, when the gamblers know that Jeffries was 'safe.' "The lirst plot was broached in a back room; the last man necessary to its success accepted his part in a meeting in a Reno alley two nights before the ti^ht. after having learned that lie could make no more money with Jeffries and that he could win thousands by turning Judas. One man whose available cash was also secretly wagered on Johnson, smilingly posed as a friendly adviser of Jeffries during the t.yht."

RICHMOND MAKES BID FOR TRAINING SCHOOL L. Institution for Lay Workers to Be Established by Southern Presbyterian Church. HV MAMIE HAYS. Muntrcat, N. C-, August 17.?An in teresting 'act In connection with the i training school l'or lay workers to be I established by the Southern Presbyte rian Church within the next year is that the most definite offer as to the location of this school thnt h;is been r? reived by the committee in charge of i the same has come from the l'rusby terinn League in Richmond. There has been for a number of years past an increasing' demand for a school j devoted especially to the training of j lay workers In this church, this school | to sustain a relation to the general as- i sembly similar to that which theolog- | I ical seminaries sustain to that body. The executive committee of publica tion and Sabbath school work presented to the general assembly of 1011 a I recommendation that a special commit tee representing the four general tn j t- rests of the church be appointed to i Investigate the whole subject of a [ training school for lay workers and report the result of the investigation | to the Keneral assembly of 19112. This commltte was not appointed by j | the assembly of 1911, but at the as- ! sembly of 1!>I2 the recommendation 1 for the appointment of such a com mittee was approved, and the commit- j tee was appointed, consisting of two membors front each of the four execu- j tive committees of the assembly, (?rowlnjt .Need of Workers. The committee appointed found that , in the church there is a steadily ?ro\v- | Ing need for trained lay workers, espe- ! 1 daily in well established churches I where. assistants to pastors, Sunday j school superintendents, teachers, visit- i inn nurses and social workers are in j demand. The committee found also the s demand is increasing for trained lay j ! workers in the home mission fields and j foreign mission fields of the church. ; and that the need is imperative for i trained workers of large constructive ! ability. The fact that in the Southern Presbyterian Church there is no insti tution for the training of lay workers, especially, increases the importance of j tin establishment of such an institution j as soon as possible. After a meeting of the committee hold during the summer of i;>l 2, an nouncement was made of readiness to receive bids for t lie location of the ! school, the following conditions to be i met: Wherever the school is located I a sile must be donated, with means to j erect adequate buildings, to secure a j competent faculty and to meet the run- I i nitig expenses of the school for three J y. ars without involving the gem ral > assembly in any financial rosponslbil- I m These conditions were prescribed j j by the asetnhly. {te.sl m hie site OlVered. I The :-it< in the offer made liy the Presbyterian League of Richmond was ? a very desirable one of about three acres, located in Glitter Park, a short distance from Union Theological Semi nary, and the offer <>f the site was accompanied with abundant guaranty that all of the conditions prescribed 1 b\ the assembly, regarding the loca tion of the training school, would be i met. Thinking that the committee had tin! power to act lit the matter of the location of the school without fur ther action by the assembly, the Pres byterian League, kept its offer open j only until May ir?, 1M3 lJy order of the assembly, luld in ! Atlanta the present year, the commit , tee on tlio location of the training j school was continued and was author ized to prepare a curriculum of tho school, in outline, to define the relation of the school to the general assembly at- similar to the relation of theological seminaries that body. The commit tee was authorized also to locate the school within one year from that date, May 19. lf'Lt. when all of the conditions prescribed shall have been met. The first meeting of tite committee held since the assembly in Atlanta was : that held at Montreat. Acting upon I the instructions of the assembly, the j committee, as the result of the Mon I treat meeting, has again invited propo iltlons from all places desiring tho ocation of the school In their midst, ill propositions to be submitted to tev. A. L. Phillips, D. D., of Richmond, ? n or before tho 1st of November of his year. Other Proposition*. In addition to the proposition which ho committee received for the location >f the training school in Richmond, it b known that requests cuino also from ted Springs and from Montreat, N. O., or the school to be located at those ?laces, it is known also that a similar ? reposition will probably be received | rom Nashville, Tenn. It is not to be loiibtcd that all of the propositions bat have been submitted in this con lection will be rcnowod, and that a lumber of others will be received. Those interested in the location of lie training school In Richmond em- | dijisize many points In support of their I ?hoice. Richmond is not only one of ! he leading business and educational ; :entres of tho South, but ?e a church ( md religious centre it is no less known, i rile fact that the headquarters of pub- j ication and Sabbath school work, one j if the four executive committees of tho ?hurch, and that Union Theological Seminary, tho leading theological sem- ! nary of tho church, are located in lichmond, gives added emphasis to the ippropriateness of making Richmond , he homo of the training school for lay Yorkers of Southern Presbyterianism. rhe .seminary would furnish much to lie students in the training school in lie way of association and lectures, in iddition to the fact that In Richmond ! tudents who desire to equip them-' selves for work as medical mission- j tries or trained nurses in the home or i oieign fields of the church could re- i ?elvc large advantage from the lios- j litals of the city. The large churches, ity missions and other well-organized onus of church work would give equal | itlvantage to students equipping them selves for assistants to pastors. Sun- . lay school superintendents and teach >rs and other agents of church activity. No proposition received by the coni nlttee lust year relative to the loca lon of the training school was more lefinlte, liberal and promising than hat of Richmond, and If this propo rtion Is renewed and should become he choice of tho committee, that city will have within her midst another if the great interests of the church, he first training school for lay work-j rs to be established by this church, ; ind one with which both the ministry 1 md the lnitv of the Southern Presby- j ei-ian Church will bo closely allied. The action of the committee in the selection of the location for this train-! tig school will be anticipated with ? ?special interest throughout the church.!
