Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENCASTLE, Ind., Oct. 16.—The boiler makers from Purdue had a hard struggle to-day and finally won by a.score of 8 to 0. In the line-up Purdue presented a team that averaged 178 pounds, while De Pauw's average was not quite 160. The second touchdown was a foul, as Haynes, De Pauw s quarter back, In making a fair catch was unfairly tackled and thrown before completing the catch. This foul was claimed by De Pauw, but was not allowed by the officials. This play was made near the fifteen-yard line and a touchdown quickly followed. Purdue was trained by an SBO-a-week coach, while De Pauw has done without any at all. The result is accepted hero with great satisfaction. Purdue kicked off on the opening and De Pauw lost to Purdue on a fumble. By tandem plays through the line Purdue made gains and Webb made ten yards. The ball went to De Pauw on downs. Cartright was sent through for four yards and Purdue lost five yards off side play. Roller punted ami Purdue then advanced the ball, Robinson, Webb and Hanson making the gains. Gobin was sent over the line in fourteen minutes for the first touchdown. Robertson made a miserable kick and failed on goal. The second touchdown was made in three minutes. Roller kicked off for De Pauw and Robertson punted back to Haynes. At this point Haynes was tackled unfairly, as alleged by the De Pauw contingent, and the second and last touchdown was made by Gobin for Purdue, Robertson again missed the goal by several yards and the half closed shortly with the ball in Purdue’s possession near the center of the field. Twenty-minute halves were played and they were long enough considering the warm weather. De Pauw braced up wonderfully In the second half and Purdue put up a ragged game. There was considerable fumbling, Purdue making most of It. In this half the playing of De Pauw’s stars stood out prominently. Williamson and Roller made good runs and Haynes, De Pauw s quarter back, did some of the best tackling ever seen on the grounds. His catching of punts was also good, some of w-hich were of a difficult nature. Purdue was sent back in this half for fifteen yards for making another unfair tactile of Haynes as he caught a punt. The entire Do Pauw team put up a good article of ball and its work was the best ever given by a De iauw team. For Purdue.

J., Oct. 16.—The Indian and the Anglo-Saxon met In battle on the gridiron to-day and the noble redmen were trampled in the sod, once their own, by the giants who wear the moleskins and jerseys of Old Nassau. The contest was one of the most furious in the history of gridiron sport. The score of 18 to 0 would Indicate a. comparatively easy victory for the Tigers, but never was a victory for the orange and black attended with more effort and injured men. Unlike their ancestors, the Indians fought man to man with a fierceness which perhaps they have never before shown on the gridiron. Cheering thousands filled the stands and witnessed the great struggle. The game began with a dck-off by Hudson to Baird, who ran thirty yards. The pigskin was fumbled, and an Indian fell on It. The redmen tried a mass play, but lost the hall on a fumble, Reiter falling on it. Reiter went through the left tackle for ten yards. Wheeler pulled Reiter through the center for eight yards more. A wedge play was stopped by Remus Pierce on the fifteenyard line. Bannard and Wheeler pounded the center for short gains and in a mass play Bannard was sent over for the first touchdown. Baird missed the goal. Score, 4 to 0 Time, 5:40. Baird caught the kick-off and punted forty yards to H. Pierce. Jamison fumbled and Rogers fell on the sphere. Booth squashed a center play. Hudson punted, Wheeler catching the ball and crashing through the Indians for a forty-five-yard run. being downed by Seneca. Metoxen kicked Armstrong and a wrangle ensued, Armstrong and Jamison being laid off and Wards and Cayou taking their places. After short gains Reiter made a splendid run for five yards. The Indians got the ball on downs, but lost It immediately. Short runs were made and Garrard went over the line for another touchdown. Baird kicked the goal. Score. 10 to 0. Time, 15:08. The remainder of the half was played In the center of the field and the half ended with the ball in Princeton territory. The hot weather affected the players, but they fought fiercely during the second half, which commenced with a kick-off by Baird out of bounds. Pierce returned with a punt from the ten-yard line, Wheeler fumbled and Lathrop fell on the ball. Three downs, and Wheeler punted to Metoxen, who was downed in his tracks by Cochran. Bannard, who had played brilliantly, was replaced by •‘King” Kelly, who. with Reiter, pounded the Indians’ right, with no gain. The Indians got the ball, but made no gain, and Hudson tried to punt, but the great Holt blocked the kick and Reiter, picking up the ball, made a magnificent run of seventy-five yards for a touchdown. Baird missed goal. Score, 14 to 0. Baird caught the kick-off and ran twenty yards. Reiter and Kelly went through the line for twelve yards. • Baird ran thirty yards cn a trick pass, and steady gairfs advanced the sphere to the Indians' five-yard line, and Kelly went over for the last touchdown. Holt missed an easy goal. Score, 18 to 0. Bemus Pierce called on his braves for a final effort, but without avail, and the game em’.ed with the ball on the redskins' fifteen yard line. * I.

Ind., Oct. 16.—Miami University eleven defeated Earlham this afternoon by a score of 10 to 0, the visitors being entirely too heavy for the Quakers.

Y., Oct. 16.—Harvard met the cadets on the gridiron at West Point this afternoon with the thermometer at 75 and no breeze. The game resulted in a score of 10 tc 0 in favor of the crimson. Under the circumstances the result was remarkable, as at times Harvard was clearly outplayed by the West Pointers, and on’y succeeded in gaining her distance through good work by Dibble© and remarkable running and good defensive her territory. Harvard’s play was loose at times, and fumbles were numerous. West Point fumbled but twice. Attendance. 3,000. Pennsylvania., 34; Dartmouth, O. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 16.—The Pennsylvania football eleven defeated Dartmouth by the score of 34 to 0. 16 in the first and 18 in the second half, 20 points more than Harvard scored against the same team last Saturday. Pennsylvania was weakened by the absence of Captain Minds, at full back, and Garnett, at left tackle. But even with this handicap the Dartmouth boys w’ere no match for the sturdy Pennsylvanians. At no time during the game did the visitors menace the red-and-blues goal. La-fay ette and Cornell Tied. EASTON, Pa., Oct. 16.—The LafayetteCornell game played here this afternoon resulted in a tie, each eleven scoring four points. The result was no surprise to the friends of the home college. Her three backs, Worthington, Walbridge and Bray, were on the sick list and in no condition to go on the field, and before the end of the game the trio was compelled to give up playing. Yale Make* a Poor Showing. NEWTON, Mass., Oct. 16.—Yale defeated the Newton A. A. here this afternoon, 10 to 0, before a crowd of 3,000 spectators. The Y'ale team was a big disappointment. Their play was loose, their backs showed little good interference, and the way the Newton backs repeatedly ripped up the holes in the visitors line showed an unexpected weakness in their defense at several critical points. There was really but one redeeming feature in their work as a team, and that was in the quickness with which the backs got under way in receipt of a kick. But the Yale backs fumbled punts In schoolboy style, and only a technicality in rule construction saved them from being forced to a safety through this looseness of play. Evansville, 12; Vlncennen, O. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

There will be an opportunity for the ball fans to revel in their favorite sport Tuesday afternoon next, when the Baltimores and All-Americans stop here for a game at the Ohio-street grounds. They have been playing thus far on the trip as if for a pennant, and it is worth the price, so it is said, to hear Tebeau and Doyle when they get together. Amos Rusle will pitch for the AllAmericans. Joe Corbett, a brother of the pugilist, will be In the pitcher’s box for Baltimore. The teams are on their way to California and Mexico. Hugh Jennings has rejoined them after a short leave of absence for the purpose of getting married. The game here Tuesday afternoon will be of great interest to the followers of the sport, as so many celebrities of the diamond will take part in it. Those who know something of the ability of the players say the game between these two teams will present one of the strongest outfields ever seen. Following are the players and their positions: Baltimore —Kelley, of Baltimore, left field; Griffin, of Brooklyn, center field; Donovan, of Pittsburg, right field; Doyle, of Baltimore, first base; Reitz, of Baltimore, second base; O’Brien, of Baltimore, third base, Jennings, of Baltimore, short stop; Clark, of Baltimore, catcher; Corbett, pitcher.

Manager Watkins, of the Pittsburg team, was here last evening for a few hours, coming from that city, where he had been talking over next season with the officials for whom he is to labor in the future. Since leaving here he has put in several days at his farm near Port Huron. Mich., a day or so at Detroit and some time at Pittsburg. He feels confident of getting matters into better shape there, but says deals for players are scarce just now. There is plenty of talk about them, but none of the magnates are - ready to do business unless they get about four to one the best of it in each instance. All-American* Won. COLUMBUS, 0., Oct. 16.—About six hundred people witnessed a close and exciting game between the Baltimore and AllAmerican teams. O’Brien’s bad error in the eighth allowed the All-Americans to win.

LOUIS, Oct. 16.—At least two thousand people were present in Pastime Park this afternoon to see the circuit chasers for the last time in St. Louis this season. Owing to the action of the management in not offering a sufficiently tempting array of prizes for the amateurs, there were not many “pure” events on the programme. This was offset, however, by the large number of professionals entered from all parts of the country. No records were broken.

Wefers, the champion sprinter, and Fred Sehade, the bicycle crack, which was scheduled as the feature of the Georgetown University bicycle meet to-day, did not take place, owing to the illness of Wefers. He was on the track, but in no shape to do himself justice. His place was taken by William Cody, a sprinter, who has pushed Wefers on several occasions. In a run of 150 yards, Cody on foot and Sehade on a wheel, the former was allowed a handicap of ten yards and the inside of the track. Cody led at the start, but was beaten out by five yards. Sehade won in :14 1-5. Killed 59 Out of GO. PHILADELPHIA, Oct 16.—D. A. Upson, of Cleveland, to-day won the Riverton six-ty-bird handicap on the grounds of the Riverton Gun Club, at Riverton, N.

Latonia Fall Prize Captured by Box Under u. Terrltle Drive. CINCINNATI, Oct. 16.—The largest crowd of the meeting was out at Latonia to see the Kenton Stakes run. The weather was fine and the track in perfect condition. The big event fell to Box, the horse *hat is barred from starting in any but stake races at the track. Box acted very mildly at the post to-day, and succeeded in getting away when the flag dropped and won under a terrific drive from Eugenia Wickes. White Frost, the favorite, finished next to last. Outside of the stake event the second race, a handicap for two-year-olds, was about the best. Lillian Bell won most impressively, covering the six furlongs in 1:15, which is the best time of the meeting for a two-year-old at the distance. The betting was very lively and the bookies quit big winners on the day on account of the defeat of several favorites and any number of hot tips. Feature# at Morrl* Park. NEW YORK, Oct. 16.—There were 15,000 people at Morris Park this afternoon. The weather was perfect. The feature of the card were the Belle Meade and the Bronx high-weight handicap. The first was over the last seven furlongs of the Withers mile, and Dr. Catlett was the favorite, with Kinnikinic a strong second choice. Dr. Catlett won by a length. For the handicap Typhoon II and Rondo, coupled, were the favorites, with Cieophus second choice, while Dacian was well backed by the knowing ones. Cieophus and Dacian had it out ull the way to the finish, the former winning by a head in the hardest kind of a drive. Sale of Horse*. ST. LOUIS, Mo..

A MISERABLE COUNTRY MBS. SYLVESTER SCOVEL DON’T WANT TO SEE ALASKA AGAIN. She Return* from Lake Bennett and De*erlhe* Her Experience*—Postoffice Needed at Skaßuny. ♦ PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Oct 16. —The steamer Alkl arrived here at noon from Alaskan points after an unusually rough voyage. Captain Patterson reports rougher weather than his ship has encountered during the past year. The Alki brought down seventy-four first-class passengers and sixty second-class, including twenty-eight Chinese from the canneries at Pyramid harbor. One of the passengers was Mrs, Sylvester Scovel, wife of the well-known newspaper correspondent. Mrs. Scovel said: •*1 left Lake Bennett ten days ago and reached the town of Skaguay over the White pass in twenty-one and a half hours’ actual traveling time At Lake Bennett there had been a strong wind from the north and a terrible blizzard had been raging for a week. No one had attempted to start across the lake during that time. The day before I left the lake the wind shifted around to the south and a dozen l>oats started at once. Great delay is caused at Lake Bennett owing to the fact that the sawmill there can only cut enough lumber in a day to build two boats. Skaguay has during two months turned from a town of tents to a substantially built town, there being firtly 500 houses, well built and shingle roofed. While I had good health there during my two months’ stay, I wish to say in a burst of confidence that I never want to see such a miserable country again. All the reports about bold, bad men fighting and shooting are false. Why, it is so quiet there as to be really monotonous.” F. W. Vaille, assistant superintendent Pacific coast mail division, who went north three weeks ago to look into the feasibility of establishing anew mail route in connection with the Canadian government to the interior of Alaska, was a returning passenger on the Alki. He gives it as his opinion that an additional service cannot be given for several months to come, as there are many obstacles to overcome. At present th4’ United States has a monthly service from Juneau to Circle City, and the Canadian mounted police are attempting to deliver mail at Dawson City from Dyea monthly. Carriers who started from Dyea in September had not returned nor had they been reported when Mr. Vaille left

Dyea, a week ago. Mr. Vaille says he will at once recommend the establishing of a postoffice and the appointing of a postmaster at Skaguay, the town having neither, although at a town meeting Dr. H. B. Runnals was elected custodian of the mail, which is sent from Juneau in seale4i pouches, his compensation being 5 cents for every letter handled. Mr. Vaille says there are 1,500 people in Skaguay who will winter there. GOLD SEEKERS MISSING. Party of Six- Supposed to Have Been Ma*sacred or Drowned. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.—Advices received from A. C. Wright, of Seattle, tend strongly to the belief that Harry T. Newman and William J. Swartz, of San Francisco, together with four companions, whose names cannot be learned, have perished on the Taku river while on the way to Klondike. The plainest inference that can be deducted from the meager information at band is that the entire party was either massacred by Indians or drowned in the swirl current of the Alaskan stream. Nothing more is known here regarding their fate than that they were alive and well on Sept. 15 at a point eighty miles up the river from Taku inlet. Harry T. Newman is about forty-two years old and has a wife and child living In Los Angeles. William J. Swartz was about thirty-seven years old. He came from Philadelphia originally and has no relatives on the coast. He followed the trade of carpenter, but bad some mining experience in Fresno county. Tlie Klondike Output of Gold. DENVER, Col., Oct. 16.—Mr. H. Brattnober, the noted mining expert, who is returning to London from Alaska, where he spent several months investigating the gold ilelds for t.te Rothschilds, left Denver last night for New York. Speaking of the propheev that the Klondike will produce fifty millions within the next year, he said: “The district will probably produce $5,000,000 or $69)00,000 during the twelve months we are now entering on. Considering the age of the camp and the stupendous difficulties to be overcome, $6,000,000 will be highly creditable to the camp, and that means that tne prophesied $50.0009)00 may materialize in the course of a few years.'’ Mr. Brattnofier advises all persons going to Alaska to go in the spring, and says prospectors must not expect too much, as some claims are exceedingly good and others, even alongside of exceedingly valuable ground, are worthless. He says the claims already located can be worked out in five years. Contract Let for a Tramway. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 16.—Newton M. Bell, coast agent of the Trenton (N. J.)
