SCORE STOOD 6 TO 5
IN FAVOR OF JAYS.
WITH 12 MINUTES TO PLAY GULLS

About Official!* Between the Two
Nice Team* From Jacksonville
and Charleston—. Attendance Was
Light, Many Savannah Hooters Be
ing Present—Hogan Nancy Pant
ed 7 3 Yards—Line Smashing; Was
the Feature of the Play of Both
Teams.
Jacksonville, Fla.. Dec. 3.—Before a
crowd of 500 on a hot, sultry after
noon Jacksonville played Charleston to
a standstill. In the second half, with
twelve minutes to play, the "Over-
Homers” quit the game and Referee
Humphreys gave the game to Jack
sonville, 6 to 0.
The manager for Charleston called
his team off the field after Referee
Humphreys declared the ball in Jack
sonville's possession. Gunter had ad
vanced the ball for ten yards around
left end. when he was tackled by Ho
gan Yancey. He fell and Worth Yan
cey fell on the ball. When Humphreys
arrived where the ball was down he
declared the ball in possession of Jack
sonville.
There was no demonstration, the
Charleston team being called off just
as soon as the decision was rendered,
and without entering a formal protest.
The manager of the Charleston team
refused to make a statement outlining
his reasons for withdrawing from the
game.
In the first half Charleston received
the kick-off, and by hard line plunging
Sid Smith, Gunter and Hanvey carried
the ball in rushes of four and five
yards at a crack straight down the
field eighty-five yards to a touch-down
in eight minutes of play.
Then Jacksonville received the kick
off and carried the ball by short line
plunges forty yards, when Hogan
Yancey on a double pass went thirty
five yards down the side lines to a
touchdown. He then kicked goal,
which trick Smith had failed to do.
The score. 6-5.
In the second half Charleston played
by far the faster ball, and the ter
rific line plunges of Sumter and hur
dling of Hanvey took the ball eighty
yards without a fumble to the Jay’s
one-half-yard line, where they lost it
on downs. Both teams used mass on
tackle plays and quick opening, with
a tackle lock. The end of both teams
were so strong no end runs were at
tempted. For Charleston, Sid Smith,
Hanvey and Sumter starred. For the
Jays, Kirby Smith and the Yanceys.
One of Hogan Yancey’s punts went
seventy-three yards. Teams lined up:

PIEARSKI MAY COACH
PENN NEXT SEASON.
Big Gourd Will Go In With Change
of System of Piny.
Frank Piekarski, the big left guard
of the University of Pennsylvania, may
be a member of the coaching staff at
the Quaker institution next season.
There is nothing definite about the
flatter as yet. but if one of the plans
most in favor is adopted, Piekarski
will probably be offered the position
of field coach.
Several conferences of football
coaches and famous old players and
men prominent in the athletic affairs
at the university will be held before
the final system of coaching will be
adopted.
The idea which at present Beems
most in favor is an advisory board of
coaches that will decide upon all foot
bnil matter and a field coach who will
be the mouthpiece of the board to the
team. This system is patterned after
the Yale plan, but with some modifica
tions.
Until Dr. Carl Williums, the success
ful head coach of the 1904 team, an
nounces whether or not he will con
sider coming back another year, the
head of this advisory board will be
in doubt. If Dr. Williams will accept
the position, there is no doubt that it
will be his.
Piekarski graduates next spring and
If he would accept the position of field
coach, he should make a good one, as
he is a product of the Pennsylvania
system and has been one of Its most
noted exponents.
MOVEMENT FOR MORE
OPEN FOOTBALL IS ON.
Harvard l First to Commence
Preparations fo r Reformation.
Cambridge, Deo. 8. —A movement is
being started at Harvard by about
fifty men who have pluyed association
football in England. Kwitzerland and
Canada to organize an association
team, which may eventually result In
a total upheaval of American football
sentiment. The feeling that the game
aa It is pluyed in America ought to
be more "open,” giving the small man
a chance, Is nothing new.
It haa been expressed year after
year, and this fall more than ever.
The charge was made at the recent
game In New Haven that Harvard's
learn was composed of fat men who
didn't run. hut just waddled In a
sense, this was true, and shows In
rattier a coarse way the avidity with
which heavy material is now seized
upon.
In England football is just as pop
ular as in America and draws even
larger crowds. But there it is an open,
kicking, running game, in which fleet
ness of foot, endurance, grit and sand
count more than brute strength. Who
is the leader of the movement at
Harvard to introduce this game in
America is not known, and associa
tion football has already been played
with success in Philadelphia, Provi
dence and other places by professional
teams, and its adoption by a leading
university like Harvard will go a long
way to start it as a collegiate sport.
If the team is organized an effort will
be made to join the Massachusetts
Association Football League.
Great Athletes Saw the Contest.
While the distinguished crowd that
witnessed the Army-Navy game from
the stands was elaborately described,
many of the men from the side lines
went unmentioned. Truxton Hare, the
greatest guard Penn ever had. was
head linesman, with Capt. Hurley of
Harvard, and Capt. Hogan of Yale as
assistant linesman. Mike Murphy, the
Yale trainer; Big John DeWitt, the
Princetonian. Coach Yost of Michigan,
and Alvin Kranzlein, the former Penn
sylvania hurdler, were among those
who toed the foul lines at Franklin
Field on Saturday.
M’GOVERN SAYS FAST
LIFE BEAT CORBETT.
“Terrible Terry” Delivers Hlmselt
Concerning Nelson's Victory.
Terry McGovern, the once Terrible
Terry, who lost his title to Young Cor
bett in two rounds at Hartford, Conn.,
a few years ago, believes that the Den
verite’s downfall was brought about
by the fast life he has been leading
of late months. Following is his in
terview:
“ ’Battling’ Nelson is well named.
He must be a great fighter to beat a
man of Corbett’s caliber. He won and
is entitled to all the credit that goes
with a well-earned victory.
"The result was a big surprise to
me. I do not think that Corbett was
pitched up to a hard fight. As the re
ports of the early rounds came from
the ringside it was evident that Cor
bett was not fighting in his old style.
I never heard of Corbett fighting on
the defensive, or breaking ground, still
in everv round with Nelson he seemed
to be on the ropes and covering up.
"Corbett did not seem to have his
old-time wallop. When he landed on
Nelson he did little damage.
”1 don’t think Corbett was at his
best. He has been living a pretty
lively life, and during his ten months
of retirement took on considerable
weight.
“This, of course, he had to take off
to make 130 pounds, and it is possible
that the task was too much for him.
It is no easy task to take off eighteen
pounds in the short space of time in
which Corbett accomplished it.
"Now that Nelson has won, I would
like to meet him in the ring, and I am
ready to sign articles at once for a
match.”
HUSSARS AND GUARDS
ARE READY TO BOWL.
The second match game of the sea
son between the Hussars and Guards
will be played on the alleys of the
Guards, Wednesday night, at 8:30
o’clock.
Much interest is being manifested in
the game and the Guards expect to
give the Hussars a hard rub for the
championship this season.
It is possible that the Yacht Club
team will enter the race, much to the
satisfaction of the Hussars and
Guards. A large attendance is ex
pected and there will be no admission
charge. Ladies are cordially Invited.

Young Corbett and Battling Nelson
W. 11. ROTH WELL.
(Young Corbett.)
These Two Lightweights Put Up Hardest Fight
Ever Seen in 'Frisco—Nelson Has Been
Matched to Meet Britt.
BRITT AND NELSON WILL MEET
DEC. 20 TO DECIDE CHAMPIONSHIP
Both Men Signed Articles to Weigh in at 131
Pounds.
San Francisco, Dec. 3.—The fight
fever, developed toy the defeat of
Young Corbett by Battling Nelson, was
brought to boiling point to-day when
Nelson signed articles of agreement to
fight Jimmy Britt, the world’s cham
pion, on Dec. 20, for the coveted title.
In coming to an agreement no trou
ble was experienced until it came to
the question of referee. After two
hours of argument it was decided to
defer the selection of that official un
til this afternoon. At that time Ted
Murphy, Nelson’s manager, and Britt
will meet and select a man. The
choice will probably lie between Roche
and Graney. At the mention of Gra
ney’s name this evening the Nelson
forces entered strenuous objections.
"Do you object to Graney outright?”
demanded Britt.
“Yes,” answered Murphy, but later
he retracted his positive answer and
said he would wait until to-morrow.
Nelson favored Roche. In fact, his
management seems to feel that no one
else will fill the bill. Britt felt that
if Graney was to be given the go-by
Nelson should retreat from his stand
for Roche.
"Roche may be all right," he said,
"but I have never seriously consid
ered him as a referee in any fight
which I might be a party to. Now,
there is Eddie Smith or Jack Walsh.
How would that suit you?”

New York, Dec. 3.—Madison Square
Garden wts crowded to-night by en
thusiasts who witnessed the races pre

Thirty-six cyclists, the gamest and
fleetest long distance riders of the

But Murphy was the Roche man
from the first gong. At this point,
when it seemed a question of referee
might seriously interfere with the
much-anticipated agreement, Jimmy
Coffroth pacified matters by suggest
ing that the point at issue be deferred.
So the conference proceeded without
further trouble.
The following are the articles of
agreement, signed by Britt and Nel
son:
“San Francisco, Nov. 30, 1904. —James

THE ILLINOIS WAR
ORTHODOX ENOUGH
IT HAS A CORPS OF LIARS
THAT EQUAL MOLE ST. NICHOLAS
AND THE CHE FOO PRODUCTS.
Many Stories From the Seat of War
Have Been Investigated and
Proven Untrue—St. Louis Corre
spondents Conld Not Even Find
Bullet Marks, Thonith Thousands
of Shots Are Alleged to Have Been
Fired nt Stockade and Pump
House.
Duquoin, 111., Dec. 3.—After several
months of labor trouble at the Letter
mines in the town of Zeigler, during
which many reports of active skir
mishing have emanated from the rival
camps, the situation there is one of the
most peculiar in the history of recent
labor disturbances. It Is stated by dis
interested persons, living near Zeigler,
that firing has been heard nearly every
night for several weeks in the vicinity
of the stockade surrounding Zeigler,
and from the pump house, located at
some distance from the town.
After a thorough investigation, how
ver, staff correspondents of St. Louis
newspapers declare that they have
been unable to find any marks of bul
lets either on the stockade or at the
pump house.
Reports sent out from surrounding
towns that miners and strikers have
been wounded have proved, upon In
vestigation, to have been incorrect.
The Forces Engaged.
From the latest authentic reports
there are about twenty-five miners en
camped about four miles from Zeigler.
In the town there are about eighty
miners, eighty-five militiamen and for
ty deputy marshals, including both
state and federal officers.
Immediately upon the establishment
of the union miners’ camp, reports of
clashes between the union men and
the men employed by Letter to take
their places begun to emanate from
various sources. Several trains car
rying non-union men to the mines were
fired upon from ambuscade, but there
was nothing to connect the striking
miners directly with the occurrences.
Although generally termed "strik
ers,” the officials of the union author
ized to speak fou the men, declare that
they are not on a strike. They say
that Mr. Leiter offered a wage scale
to which they could not agree, and
so they left the mines. They also deny
all knowledge of the alleged attacks on
the town of Zeigler, and while admit
ting that thev have attempted to per
suade the miners to leave the employ
of Mr. Leiter, they declare that no
violence has been used.
Attorney Platt’s Statement.
Henry R. Platt, Mr. Leiter’s attorney,
sums up the situation as follows:
"Our employes have been reduced to
a state of terror by the bushwhacking,
which has become a nightly occur
rence. Our stockade and our property
has been fired upon repeatedly, and
there has been one murder which I
have no hesitancy in saying was the
work of union miners on strike, and in
accordance with the plans of the or
ganization which holds control over the
strikers. On some nights hundreds of
shots have been fired from the sur
rounding woods.
“The rapid fire guns have replied
whenever the location of the attackers
could be found. We appealed to the
sheriff of this county for protection,
and two companies of militia came in
response to his request for help. There
is every reason from the standpoint of
justice and law, for the bringing of the
troops.”
Representatives of the strikers de
clare emphatically that this claim
made by the Leiter supporters is not
well grounded.
ANOTHER NEGRO SCHOOL.
St. Louis Lutherans Will Establish It
at Greensboro.
Raleigh, N. C., Dec. 3.—The Lutheran
Synodical Board of St. Louis will lo
cate a college at Greensboro, N. C. t
for the education of negro boys. A
site containing fifteen acres was

of Greensboro to-day. Work on the
college buildings, which, together with
necessary residences, will cost $50,000,
will begin in the spring and th college
will open for the fall session.

Fifty-sixth and Fifty-seventh Con
gress in passing the anti-canteen law
and protest against the continued agi
tation in favor of its repeal. We also
know that the wisdom of this law will
be demonstrated when a fair and im
partial test is made of the post ex
change buildings designed by Congress
for the use of the men in the ranks.”
Speaking in support of the resolution
Mrs. Margaret Dye Ellis of Washing
ton, national legislative superintendent,
charged that-the army officers are pre
empting the post exchange buildings
erected for the accommodation of the
enlisted men for their exclusive use,
and thus robbing the privates of what
was designed as a substitute for the
canteen.
This resolution was also adopted:
“In view of the fact that the wealth
producers and especially organized
labor are recognizing the evil effects
of the drink habit on personal achiev
ing ability and prosperity, and are or
ganizing temperance societies in their
own ranks,
“Resolved, that we co-operate with
labor unions In their efforts In this
direction.”

Authorities So Believe of the Build
ings on the Pike.
St. Louis. Dec. 3. —A further Inves
tigation by the police and the Jeffer
son Guards strengthens their belief
that the fire on the Pike, which total
ly destroyed the Streets of Rome and
Quo Vadis and partly destroyed Fair
Japan, On the Bowery and Old St.
Louis was of incendiary origin.
One suspect has been arrested, Ar
thur V. Dunn, 26 years old, who gives
his occupation as a waiter. Dunn was
arrested in Hereafter, an attraction
immediately opposite the burning
buildings. The guards’ attention was
attracted to Hereafter some time aft
er the fire in the Streets of Rome was
discovered by a bright light which
proved on Investigation, to be a pile
of burning newspapers and straw.
Dunn told the Jefferson guards that
he had entered the building to extin
guish the fire, but could not explain
why he was locked in the concession.
When searched, eleven pocketbooks
were found in Dunn’s possession.
In addition to the loss on build
ings. which is estimated to be about
$5,000, a series of oil paintings, illus
trative of scenes from the novel, “Quo
Vadis,” which formed the principal
attraction in the concession known as
Quo Vadis, valued at $75,000, were
burned. The paintings were the work
of Jans Styka, the Polish artist.

cause his wife, who is suing him for
divorce, refused to allow him to ac
company her home from work to

REVENUES*OF GERMANY
Caused Some Long Faces In tlis
Reichstag Meeting.
Berlin, Dec. 3.—Six millions fewer
bottles of champagne were drunk in
Germany during the first six months of
the fiscal year, from April 11 to Sept.
31, and 800,000,000 fewer cigars were
smoked, as appears from the figures
which Finance Minister Von Stengel
submitted to the Reichstag to-day.
The wine and tobacco revenues show
a falling off of $975,000. while the use
of spirits increased, as evident from
the $2,500,000 addition to the revenues
from distilling.
Continuing, Baron Von Stengel said
it was no use to circumlocute. Self
deception was dangerous. Looking at
the situation straight in the face, a
loan of $73,250,000 must be raised, of
which $19,250,000 was in consequence
of the regrettable conditions In Ger
man Southwest Africa.
Baron Von Stengel took a gloomy
view of the future, saying more rev
enues were needed, but not Indicating
their source.
PRESIDENT APPROVES
THE REPORT OF TAFT.
Special Envoy to Panama Has Sent
In a Statement.
Washington, Dec. 3.—The report of
Secretary Taft, special envoy of the
United States to Panama of his ne
gotiations with that government baa
been received here.
It may b stated with authority that
after careful consideration the Pres
ident has given his entire approval to
the same, and has advised Secretary
Taft by cable to this effect.
American System Commended.
Paris, Dec. 3.—Cardinal Perraud, the
foremost figure in tha French hierar
chy and member of the French Acad
emy, has written a letter strongly ap
proving of the American system of in
dependence of church and state, indi
cating that the American system of
fers the basis for a reorganization of
the French system when the forthcom
ing separation of church and state in
France is accomplished. This is the
prevailing view in the highest clerical
circles, which have been attracted to
the American system by the Abbe
Klein's recent book dedicated to Pres
ident Roosevelt, in which the advan
tages of the American system are con
trasted with the disadvantages of
the F*rench system. L’Univers,
the principal clerical organ, ad
vocates the introduction of a resolu
tion in the Chamber of Deputies, pro
viding that the future relations of
church and state shall be the same as
those existing in the United States.
The business of the Manchester ship
canaj gradually increases, and for
the first half of the current year its
net income was equal to about one
half of 1 per cent, on the cost of the
canal. That is not very encouraging
to projectors of such works, but it
must be noted that the benefits were
always expected to be indirect, rath
er than in the form of cash dividends*
A bank clerk writes to the London
Chronicle stating that he is afraid
the irritation caused by his high col
lar will produce a cancer under his
chin. But he does not know what
to do, “for,” he says, “I dare not as
suage my anxiety by resorting to tha
low or turned-down variety, for I am
sure I should be immediately dismiss
ed from my bank.”
There is a sort of crus'ade against
foreign waiters in London. A man
writes to a newspaper that he asked
for a "Bradshaw"—a railway guide—
and the waiter brought him a brandy
and soda. Many similar cases are be
ing cited. But Punch knows of a case
where a man asked for gin and bit
ters and they brought him a police
man. ,j
