WEST POINTERS LOST

DUi'XiATE OS THE GIUDIIION DV TUE ANXAPOLIS CADUTS. Hard-Fought Battle on Franklin Field In Which the Xnvy Ontninneuvfrfd tLe Arrar. SOLDIEB BOYS WERE GAHE aSTJ DID.VT GIVE UP ÜXTIL RET HEAT WAS ÜOUXDED. Contest, Which Ended 11 to 7, Witneaaed by Secretary Root and Cen. Miles I. II. S. Defeated. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dee. 1. On Franklin Field to-day the Navy retrieved Its defeat of last year by thrashing the Army on the gridiron by a score of 11 to 7. It -was a fierce contest from end to end and was only won by the hardest kind of playing on the part of the Annapolis cadets. The West Point boys, In the face of defeat, never for a moment weakened In their play, and won the applause of the multitude of spectators by their gameness. Neither team played gilt edge football, but what was lacked In the fine points of the game the elevens more than made up In their real and earnest with which the players went at each other. Their tackling was marked with a reckless abandon that stirred the army and navy officers In the crowded stands Into wild enthusiasm. The greatest crowd that has assembled on Franklin Field in n. number of years was out to see the game, and many men distinguished In public life occupied seats on either the West Point or the Annapolis stands. Secretary Root and a party, which Included Lieutenant General Miles, in his box on the army side, and when the war secretary" made his appearance he was honored by the West Point Academy yell. In other boxes and scattered through the crowd In the soldiers' stand were many other army officers, past and present. Secretary Long was unable to attend the game, but the Navy Department was just as fully represented In numbers as was the other arm of the government service. Members of the diplomatic corps were on the navy stand, as were also a half dozen officers of the Russian Imperial navy who are temporarily stationed in this country. The game, from every point of view, was an enjoyable one. The black, gold and grey of the West Point supporterr. and the Annapolis blue and gold covered the entire four stands. The army team's mascot was a mule, togged out In the West Point colors, while the navy pinned its faith on the "Billy" goat, which was paraded up and down the side lines by a sailor. Before tte game began West Point was the favorite in the betting, but within five minutes after the kick-off it was seen that whoever won would have to fight for the victory. The Annapolis boys started out with such vigor that it was thought they would win, hands down, but the West Pointers kept their heads and settled down to a determined contest. Both teams were guilty of considerable fumbling and most of these mlsplays were made at critical points in the game. As far as line' bucking and plunging was concerned, neither team had anything on the other. Both lines, except in a Jew instances, while the ground gained was not great, held quite lirmly, which compelled! the captains to resort to end running. At this style of playing West Point was a little more successful. One of the features of the game was the numerous attempts made by Long, of the navy, to kick goals from the field. Kight times the Middles" worked the ball to within the army's forty-yard line and eight times Long tried for ;i goal. The first three tries were badly aimed, his next fourth, almost blocked, but on the eighth try the ball sailed beautifully between the goal posts. Ills perseverance won for him the applause of the army and navy supporters alike. In the punting line, the navy had much the better of it. During the first half Belknap had difficulty in placing his kicks, which were also rather short, but in the second period of play his punting was almost perfect. Famsworth's punting was fairly good, tut he was injured and had to leave the game. Thlpps after that did the kicking for West Point. There was a vast difference in the Interference of the two elevens. Whenever a navy cadet had the ball ho was seldom protected, while tha army's runner va., as a rule, well covered. The first scorn made by either side was a feld goal by Clark for West Point. The navy had made four attempts at a field goal up to this time, and on the last try the army secured the ball on the kick being Mocked. The West Pointers slowly worked tho leather to the navy's twenty-five-yard line, and then Clark dropped back and booted the ball between the goal posts. There was no more scoring in the first half. In the second half the Annapolis cadets got possession of the ball on the army's ten-yard line on a fumb'c after an exchange of kicks. Long, for the navy, dropped Kick live yards for his seventh try at Held coal, but the ball was blocked and one of his own men secured it. Long immediately tried it again on the fifteenyard line, and this time he was successiul. which tied the score. A few minutes later the middies" forged to the front. They Feeured the ball on the in Held on an exchange of kicks, and Belknap punted to the army's ten-yard line, where one of the soldier half backs fumbled the leather and a sailor dropped on it. The middies" tried t rush the army line, but failed. The next line-up. however. Land was given the ball and went through the West Point line like a flash for the only touchdown scored In the game. Fowler kicked the goal. Shortly before time was called the navy got the ball on a kick on its own five-yard line. Belknap attempted to kick It out of danger, but Finn blocked the effort and the ball rolled over the goal line. It was a desperate moment and both teams tore after the bounding leather, but Long fell on it for a safety and prevented the pospibillty of West Point tying the score.

HUNTINGTON, Ind., Dec. l.-Indianapo-lis and Huntington High School football teams met here to-day. Two halves of twenty-five minutes euch were p'.aycd. The score at the end of the first half was C to u In favor of Indianapolis. In the second half the Huntington team made eleven point., thus winning the contest by 11 to 4. The game was well played 'by both teams, and they were very closely matched In age, size and weight. It was a pretty contest. No aiu-jms tactics were resorted

to nnd none of the players suffered serious Injury.

Ynle Ontrrelrhed nnd On t played. CHICAGO. Dec. 1. The Yale Law School football eleven was defeated on Marshall Field this afternon by an eleven composed of ex-stars of Western universities, the score being 12 to 0 for two fifteen-minute halves. Th? Chicago eleven, which Included Pat O'Bea. Wisconsin's former full back, and Potter and Vandoozer, of Northwestern, in the back field, outweighed the Yalo men so much that the latter looked almost like pigmies beside them and it was seldom that the Easterners could make their necessary gains. The proceeds of the game are to be divided among several charitable Institutions, and society was out in force to watch the struggle. The Y'ale men were banqueted at the University Club to-night. CORXELIS ERCOXD WI.V. Took the Cron-Country Championship In a Field of Fire Colleges. EW YORK, Dec. 1. Cornell, for the second year In succession, won the crosscountry championship at Morris Park. The Ithacans had a lead of twenty-six 'points at the finish. Yale and Pennsylvania tied for second place, Columbia was fourth and Princeton fifth. The individual championship was won by Alexander Grant, of Pennsylvania, who ran the six and two-third miles in 34:17. A. B. Gallagher, of Cornell, was second by thirty yards; A. J. Sweet. Cornell, third; A. C. Brown, of Pennsylvania, fourth; D. W. Tranchet, of Y'ale, fifth, and W. B. Waldron, of Yale, sixth. Grant's victory was easily won. He maintained a lead almost from the start, and seemed to have strength in reserve all through the race. Five colleges started teams. Including Y'ale, Princeton, Pennsylvania, Cornell and Columbia. Cornell was a pronounced favorite for the team championship before the start of the race, with the Quakers as second choice. Columbia was regarded as a dark horse. The cold, raw atmosphere was just suitable for the six and two-hirds of a mile race, but it was rather uncomfortable for the spectators.

The deal Is of such proportions that It makes the Fhilllrs corner in corn seem Insignificant. The deal has been engineered by the packers. Armour and Swift, who are the largest owners of refrigerator cars In the country and who have facilities for handling eggs to better advantage than regular dealers.

GOLF TOURNEY ENDS

TRAVIS CARRIES OFF THE HONORS OX T1IK LAKEWOOD LINKS. Seely Wins the Second Division Cap, 3Iallouf the Third and the Handicap Rcunlts In a Tie. CORNELL'S SECOND VICTORY CUOSS-COUXTRT CnA3IPIOXSIIIP WON BV THE ITHACA RUXXERS. Nevr Royal Yacht That Will Be Pitted A cain at LIpton's America's Cap Challenger NEW YORK, Dec. 1. The tournament of the Lakewood Golf Club closed to-day and Walter J. Travis carried off the honors. As usual, the last day's card was a double one, with match plays, semi-finals and finals for the three chief cup divisions and an all day handicap In which there were seventy-four entries. Of the morning's semi-finals the most interesting match was between Findlay Douglas and H. M. Forrest, Philadelphia Country Club, the latter forcing the ex-champion to play his best all through the green to win. Their score was: Douglas, SS; Forrest, 88. The match went to Douglas by 1 up. The Travis-Hamilton match was disappointing to friends of the popular ex-champion, who was badly away from his game, taking seven for the first hole and losing ground all through the rounds. Travis won by five up and three to play. His score was 84. In the consolation semi-finals M. M. McCawley, Philadelphia Country Club, beat Harold Curtlss, Lakewood, six up and three to play, and O. H. Seely, Westchester, beat Harry Suydam, Dyker Meadow, five up and four to play. For the third division N. Mallouf, Garden City, beat Walter D. Stockly six up and five to play, and R. S. Redfield, Westchester, beat Archie Pell, Lakewood, one up and over twenty holes. The afternoon struggle between Travis and Douglas drew a large crowd and the first half of the match was in doubt as favor. Both were away off in their putting, while neither could claim a brilliant long game. But comparisons of style were at all times interesting and the end was a victory for Travis by three up and two to play. The score was: Travis, 70; Douglas, 73. O. II. Seely won the second cup, beating Mr. McCawley by one up and the third division trophy went to N. Mallouf, who beat R. S. Redfield three up and two to play. Tho handicap yielded thirty-five cards with Irving Brokaw, Westchester, and James Converse, Lakewood, tied at 76 for first place. The tic will be played off on Monday. American nnd Golf. LpNDON, Dec. l.-The Field comments good-naturedly, but rather fearsomely, on the changes which may occur In golf, now that America has taken it up with such vigor. It traces the spread of the game In tho north and south of Great Britain, and dilates on the present supremacy of the southerner, adding: "Some day, it is very probable, American influence will uominnc ootn. 'ine passion for Improving anything he touches is strong with the Englishman. With the American it is pcrhtips stronger still, and it is difficult to say what new departures in this ancient juid honorable prime may not on bo initiated to vex the soul of nlavrrs of the old school." Continuing, tho Field somewhat sorrowfully notes tho invasion of the "bogy score" handlcnping and medals for prizes, saying: "A singie or a foursome in its pristine simplicity no longer gives general content. The future of the game, now America has taken it up no warmly, la likely to witness some new and strange developments." : XKW YACHT FOR ROYALTY. It Will Ho Pitied Agninftt Mpton'a America' Cup Clinllrnscr. LONDON, Dec. 1. There is a persistent rumor that the mysterious new yacht building at the Hendersons is for the Trince of Wales. It is learned, however, In ppite of Iord Lonsdale's denial, that it is more probably the order of Emperor William of Germany. Whichever it is of thee royalties, it can be said that the Prince of Wales will be on board the new craft when she sails in the Shamrock IPs trial races on the Clyde. In these trials the new Shamrock will have as trial-horses not only this new royal yacht and the old Shamrock, but also the Sybarita in addition. There will be a great race off Cowes between these yachts and perhaps tho Meteor and otners. Tor which the Prince of Wales or Emperor William will give a cup. The Prince of Wales. Is taking th-? ke enest interest in the new challenger. I Itintend personally to test her sailing ipaaiities before rhe crosses the Atlantic. The new yacht at the Hendersons, the identity if who.-e owner Is so closely concealed, is chielly interesting from the fact that the instructions given to George L. Watson is to design her in such a manner as to make her the most useful trial boat for the Shamrock II. Tho real otject of Sir Thomas Lipton's recent visit to the Hendersons was to compare her lines with thos of the new America's cup challenger, which is being built at Dcnnys. Klingas City Won the Shoot. s OMAHA, Dec. 1. Kansas City won the annual live-bird team f-hoot to-day by the narrow margin of four birds. The Omaha contingent was disappointed at not seeing Frank Parmalee kill his fifty straight. J. A. R. Elliott, of Kansas City, was the only man having a clean score, the world's champion killing his fifty birds in easy tashion. Following are the total scores to-day, the first named of each pair being from Omaha: Smead 4X D. Elliott 40; Crablll 45. Herman 41; Parmalee 4S. Gottlieb 43; Bray 47, J. A. R. Elliott 50. The next shoot will bo held at Kansas City. Courslnc Match. CHICAGO, Dec. 1. Chicago took first honors in one of the best coursing matches ever held in the middle West on the grounds of the Ellerslle Cross-country Club to-day when a twelve-dog stake event with St. Louis was decided, Michael Allen's two hounds, Miss Russell and Kittle A., dividing first money. White Boy, who Is owned by T. J. Flynn, of Chicago, won third pxlze after running three successive heats. E. G. B. I layman, of Chicago, acted as judge, while E. B. Brown, of St. Louis, was the official slipper. Iaelln Planning for the Races. BRISTOL, R, I., Dec 1. C. Oliver Iselln, managing owner of the cup defender Columbia, visited the Ilerreshoff works here to-day. lie said afterward that the Columbia probably would be brought to Bristol In the spring and overhauled, but that no particular changes would be made, lie had lcoked over the plans for the new defender, ho said, and felt sure that in the trial races the Columbia would give the new boat a prett hard struggle.

LONDON, Dec. 1. No more generous tribute to the American jockey's horsemanship could be written than appears In the Sporting Times over the signature of John Corlett, one of the best racing authorities in England and himself a horse owner. He points out that no less than five Americans are included in the first ten winning jockeys of the year, and pays it would have been six if Maher had come over earlier. He continues: "There is no such conservative body anywhere as the English turfman, and we have said enough to show the amount of prejudice the American jockeys have had to conquer. There is one thing, however, that the English turfman thoroughly believes in, and that is in getting there. This the Americans have done with a vengeance, and it Is sheer merit which has secured them tho position' they now liold even in England." . Running: Ilnce Winners.

The Canadian volunteers, this afternoon, visited the Guild Hall, where the lord mayor again addressed them, thanking them, In the name of the citizens of London, for their great sacrifices and the heroism they -had shown on the battleHeld. Colonel Otter, replying, said, it was a proud moment when the Canadians -were given the opportunity of testifying their loyalty and desire to serve the Queen, and protect and uphold the honor of the flag. The Queen, he added, must always count on the loyalty of the Canadians. Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal followed with a few graceful words of thanks for tha reception acorded the Canadians. Henry Siefel, of New York, sat at the lord mayor's right in the Guild Hall. He referred warmly to the close ties between the United States and Canada, and to the sympathetic interest of the United States in the exploits of the Canadians. NEW TRIAL ORDERED.
