A RATTLING GAME.
Thistles Kick Out a Victory for
the Foot Ball Cup.

A large crowd was present last even
ing to witness the first foot ball game
in the final series for the Shaw cup.
Play was commenced at 7:30. Pringle,
the Strollers' oest back, did not turn up.
so they had to play another man in his
place. The ball was started for the
Strollers by A. Pringle, and some very
lively playing was done till Hart got the
ball and passed it down to Anderson,
who. after taking it down the field,
passed it to Douglass, who sent it
through the Strollers' goal for No. l.
The ball was again put in play by the
StrollerS and they rushed hard for the
Thistles' goal, but did not succeeded in
scoring, as the ball was soon returned
to the 1histles' forwards, who made a
fine run with it, and after considerable
passing their second goal was scored by
McKendrick. The StrOllers did not like
this kind of playing, so they pulled
themselves together, made a rush for
the Thistles, and after some good pass
ing by Salisbury and Pringle the latter
scored their only goal by fine throw
from the right field. Again the ball
was started, and but few minutes
elapsed before Charters had scored

time was called and the teams changed
to start in again with the score stand
ing to in favor of the Thistles. The
Strollers played up in fine form for the
last few minutes, Richmond, March
tank and Cronin trying their best to
score, but it was not to be done, for the
Thistles were all in fine form and did
not give them but little show to score.
Time was called with the score stand
ing to 2 in favor of the Thistles.

A street car was started out over the
South hill line yesterday under the di-
srection of Electrician Lundy, several Of
the railroad officials being aboard. On
+ Chestnut street the paving between the
rails proved to have been placed too
high in some places, and stops were
caused by the occasional interference
sof the irons beneath the car with the
paving blocks. But the mechanism
itself worked in highly satisfactory
manner; the car attained good speed in
!mounting the steep Third street hill,
and the running over the new, rough
track was almost noiseless. The first
appearance of an electrically-propelled
car, or IN fact any street car, in Still
water was greeted with great deal of
enthusiasm. The formal acceptance by
the company of the contractors work
now remains. 1t is believed that reg
ular running schedule can be estab-
lished by tomorrow.

YALE MEN ARE MAD.
Defeated by the Pennsylvania
Grew, They Refuse to Row


NEW LONDON. Conn.,, June 25.-The
Yale and Pennsylvania boating officials
had red-hot controversy at their meet
ing last night about Yale's objections
the four past graduates who are seated
in the Pennsylvania boat as ''fresh-
men," After a long wrangle Yale
finally ageed to row the race this after
noon at o'clock. The Yale university
and freshmen boating men then notified
the Pennsylvania oarsmen that Yale
would row no more races with crews
from Pennsylvania. either freshmen or
university. That will end the Yale's
annual contests with the QuakerS. The
Yale men then asked Harvard to admit
them (Yale) to the Harvard-C Columbia
race Thursday. This fell through, and
from conversation it was plain that
Harvard is tired of what they term
''Side shows" and favors confning it's
annual events to race between the
Yale and Harvard university and the
Yale and Harvard freshmen crews.
QNEw LONDON, Conn.,, June 25.-The
two-mile race between the Yale and
University of Pennsylvania freshmen
crews was rowed this evening over the
Thames river course, and was won by
eunSy lVdlld Wy ttUOut GlItc-Qutit tcIS VI
boats length. Official time: Pennsyl-
vania, 1O:OS1s: Yale, 1O:1l1S. The race,
tn ugh very close from start to finish,
was utterly devoid of excitement or en-
thusiasm. Though Pennsylvania won
the race, they are given but little
credit, Yale getting by far the larger
share. At the mile and a half Yale
looked a sure winner, but when
near the finish No. unshipped
his seat and caught a crab. He
recovered himself quickly, however,
but for the last half mile he
was little more than passenger. The
Quaker City Oarsmen spurted at that
point, and by the most strenuous efforts
poked the bow of their boat ahead of
Yale just before the line was reached.

ened Up Some More.
Not discouraged by the disastrous ca
reer of the team, says the Milwaukee
Sentinel, the management of the Mil
waukees is still engaged in strengthen
ing it's weak points, and yesterday
signed Shoch, of the Washingtons, who
will join the club at Omaha. Shoch
has played shortstop for the Senators
and also right field, and is considered
a good fielder, batter and base-runner.
It is the intention of the Milwaukee
management to play him at short, leav-
ing Kirby on second, with Sutton in the
outfield. None of the players will be
released until the club returns. but it is
likely that McCullum will be the man
to go, as his battery work is not heavy
enough. Shoch ranked third among
the shortstops of the league last sea-
son, playing in fifty-five games. His
batting average so far this year is .261.
AS base runner he ranked next to
Hoy on the Washington team. He was
released because the Washington club
had both Wise and Irwin available as
ShOrtStOpS,
