HE FORK Tlin IIATTLE. Mnd, Mud, I'vcrythlntr Mud Pu rdue's Ilenvy Weight Kisht Gnnrtl. The mud at the fair grounds yesterday stood out in Princeton colors black and old gold, or as near as yellow mud can get to old gold. That rart of the gridiron field nearest the spectators was black, while the north side was the yellow, the almost denuded turf. Some light-footed man had gon'- over the field in the morning and Tainted it with very pretty white stripes, which stood out well in relief. The white stripes also had a tendency to deceive the eye a to the real condition of the field, as several venturesome men who walked across It early in the afternoon found out. Toward the end of their trip they fully understood and appreciated the labors of a North Dakota snow plow. The mud was fully six inches deep and very mushy at that. It seemed bad enough to make even those hardy college youngsters fainthearted. Everyone who came into the stand seemed to feel it a bounden duty to call bis neighbor's attention to the mud. There was a theme of conversation for you mud! The pretty girl wearing the yellow of DePauw forgot for a moment the handsome boys on the college team to talk-mud. Coroner Beck, driving his gray horse, came into the grounds with a business look in his eye. He had not seen the field. lie looked over the low rail fence, scanned the field critically and shook hi3 head. Too much mud for a good coroner's case. A few hundred only were in the lonesome grand stand a few minutes before 2, but within ten minutes the crowd came pouring in in the numbers of an army, the numerous hams and sheds on the grounds acting like an immense iilter to pour the streams toward the grand stand entrances. Men from all walks of life jostled elbows, college men, old college men. men who had never scen a college. Fully one-third of the people wore colors, and fully one-third of this one-third had no interest whatever In the college of the color they wore. It was a fad with a great many of the people. It was also a fad with a great many young men to wea. the chrysanthemum hair. Many promlnr t people took seats in the grand stand. Ex-Governor Porter and President Mason, of the street-car company, came up to the grand stand in a carriage decorated with the yeliow of De 1'auw. Even the distinguished statesman had occasion to look at the mud. By and by the stajid was well filled and the mass of people seemed from the far side of the field like a big background of black flaked with yellow. The plebeian whistle of the small boy, united in one of those rythmic airs so universally loved by the small boy, took precedence over the college yell till within a few minutes of the teams entrance upon the ground. The small boy of the city whistled and stamped his feet primarily to keep warm. Then the college man thought it was time to be heard, and the college yell began to assert itself. De Pauw seemed to have lustier lungs and more of them. Presently the knit flag of Purdue was ushered to the stand, escorted by several stanch "farmers," one of whom, to make apparent his calling, carried a bunch of straw in his overcoat pocket. This brought forth a stentorian "Pur-due, Pur-due, bully for old Pur-duel" Far across the grounds came the prancing six-in-hand of the Purdue tally-ho. The horns tooted on the tally-ho and the Purdue enthusiasts In the stand gave back an answering yell. The field was laid off with the goals to the east and west. The whitewashed fence that had surrounded the race track had been moved a hundred yards or so to the north, and it was soon lined with the football rallbirds. The timer's stand had been moved bodily from its foundations, and it was soon freighted and apparently ready to sail from the c?nter of the rare-track lnclosure, but two bip: policemen soon made for the stand and discharged the cargo. A 1 I a DO WW torn red flag, tha flag of blood! flaunted from the peak of the stand. Indeed, the game between these two crack football teams was to be for blood, perhaps, and broken limbs. These rallbirds had a point cf vantage in sceiner th? game, fox the turfy pure of the li-M was to the north, and mcst of the battle was fought on thij ground. There was but little preliminary practice, owing to the mud. The tally-hos and carriages lined the field, with the horses' nose poked amonc the rai'fiir 's. At 2:20 Dcl'auw. In its mud uniforms, wabbled out on tn? field. Stvtrai ci ti.o lenyr men fairly plowed through the mud. Talk of u winning this game," remarked one of the substitutes; "why, thejo farmers wi!l fairly revel in plowing the held of mud. because plowing is right in their lin-V lXdiuw took th? oast end of the Held for prat-tic, fonnin.tr a circle ami snapping the ball here and there. When Purdue, with its heavier men, came on to the field th? spectators gave the boys a full rrecd of applause. Jolly right-guard Turner, he of three degrees In latitude and three in longitude, was individually applauded. He only weighs 170 pounds, and se?med capable of being a stone wall to any of the lighter attacks of the Oreencastle sJde" They say that the more he train the heavier he gets, and that lie has l'oun 1 notmng yet to reduce his weight. It is further said that he intended to stop drinking water in order to drop a few superfluous rounds, but th doctor told him that even sucii a course a a this would increase th? number of notches when he stood on the ?oalcs. Purdue looked like a collection of zebras of new spec Irs with their yellow and black 8trip;r. The team floundered about the west end of the field for awhile, and the spectators were astonished at the sprinting powers of ber heavy-weight right guard It seemed that if Turner should fall on little Ku k'Midall or Albright, of Dcl'auw, one of thcs.- little men would have- his nose piked in the mud to ;i suffocating depth. . hf two little men of l?iaiiw wore whiskers, said to be the pride of llrcencastlc's tonsorial artb't. These whiskers, however, were no hindrance to th: excellent playing of their owners, for the two small men did lU'.'st of tho best work for the DePauw teat ii. It was difficult to tell, when the ball was put in the center, which team was thr nest iopul;ir. or which team had the best chance of winning. old college football opinion. dayers vere evenly uividco in ven the ujt:er men, many of whom fathat the vcred Purdue, were not sure farmers" would beat DePauw. Presently two nattily dressed young men. wearinir. alas! patent leather shoes, stepped into the mud of the gridiron. These were D. W. McCord and A. C. McCord, respectively referee and umpire. They are both from Chicago, and both arc old Princeton men. Promptly at 2.20 th gamo was called. Do rauw cot the ball and Purdue chose the

FOR TONNAGE POOLS Plea in Behalf of Amending the Interstate Commerce Act. How Railways Would Bo Benefited Reasons W hy English Roads Excel Some American Lines. ' It seems well understood among railway officials that efforts to establish tonnage pools through acts of Congress will be made. There is a growing feeling that the interstate-commerce act should be so amended as to permit of railways pooling their tonnage. An Eastern paper, in commenting on this character of pools, says: "There can re no question as to the advantages of such pools In contributing to the maintenance of rates. In fact there is no incentive for a road to cut when it is lertain of its share of the traffic at the full tariff. It is true that the desire of a road is to be allotted as large a percentage as possible of the total business covered by a pool, but when the plan was in operation it was found easy enough to dispose of differences in the allotment by referring them to arbitrators. It may be said that arbitration was never successful In securing adherence to schedule rates when other influences were not at work in that direction. Could Congress be prevailed ujon to permit pooling there is reason, from past experience, to believe that the market would be satisfactory'. It is not too much to say that rates more clearly fixed could be established under this plan than under any other." AVliy KiikUkIi Hallways Excel. So much is heard of the much more substantial manner English roads are built than are American railways that tf:e following will be read with interest: "The American people can get anything tfcey want in the way of railway roadbed?, railway equipment and railway safety if they buy it. But they cannot get English "permanent ways" and English stone viaducts and the English armies of employes so long as they continue to pay only the American tariff rates. A recent computation has shown that if, American railways received on the average on all freight hauled only so much more than their present rates a3 the lowest class English freight rate is higher than the lower class American rate then the annual earnings of the American railways as a whole' would be about tvi.ooo.jO greater than they are. With $2X,000.(xjO a year more money to spend, American railway managers could save n good, many lives. There are conditions which necessarily make railway building m England more costly than here questions of obtaining right of way and terminal grounds, and of "parliamentary expenses." But whether these channels of expenditure are not more than compensated for by the extra cheapness of labor and material is an open question. The fact is that the greater part of the English expenditure is owing directly to this one requirement, wich is forced upon English railways of building for the greatest safety of the public In the avoidance of grade crossings, the substantiality of their roadbeds, bridges and other structures, and the compulsory adoption of systems of block signaling.
