a line with the Athletics goal, and by
careful play and with wonderfully
steady nerve, Dursed 1t up to within ten
Yards aud kicked IL through.
Then there were cheers for the Y. Nj.
c. A. who had made two points without
allowing their opponents one.
The ball was soon in play again, out
the work was not so vigorous as IL had
been, the hot sun and violent exercise
having told on the players. The leatn-
er sphere seemed inclined to the I. NJ
G. A. goal this time, but the hopes OF
the Athletics were blasted each time by
the splendid work OF Goal-Keeper
Hughes, who always seemed 10 De 81
the right place at the right time. But
finally the bail got beyond the Y. NJ. e.
A. goal line and when 1t was thrown
in, WORKS kicked it through, giving the
Athletics their first and only count.
The Y. NJ. G. A. side claimed foul on
this play, alleging that one OF their
players who was making for position TO
stop the ball, was seized ABOUT
the body by one or his
heavy adversaries in a manner con-
trary to the rules. The claim was not
allowed. however, neither umpire APP
parenty seeing this particular Incident.
There only remained about seven
minutes play, and the Y. NJ. Z. A. boys
started in with rush. Inc oall was
kept we'll to the centre for few min
utes, out soon took wings and could be
seen flying all over the field. There
were several pretty hard bumps about
this time. In succession three OF the
Y. M. c. A. boys. not the little ones
either, essayed TO stop Ziegenfelder's
mad career by putting out shoulder
to the front and good stiff, well
braced leg to the rear, but In every
case Ziegenfelder's beef won the bout,
and the hind leg either bent or the foot
was driven into the ground. de seemed
inyincible and these little plays showed
how valuable man he would be under
rough-and-tumble rules. Two OF the
larger PLAYERS came together with their
heads thrown back and chests out, and
the recoil was like that OF two rubber
balls.
All this time, the ball was flying aim
lessly about the field. Finally 1t got
over near the river side line, and little
Harry Prosser got loot al IL. be
nursed it for twenty yards and gave 1t
a final heavy kick just as he was about
to be surrounded. Walter Vardy, who
already had goal kick to his credit,
was lust where he should be, and as the
ball touched the ground, gave it a well
measured kick which sent 1t through
athletics goal.

A Large Attendance and Fine Pro-
grammo.
1t was an interesting day yesterday
at the Wheeling Park. As early as
eight o'clock the motors were kept
busy carrying the sight-seers to the
beautiful grounds, numbers Of them
taking lunches along to spend the whole
day amid the trees, fountains and
sights Of the Park. Equally early
people from the surrounding country
also began to arrive, and there was q
large attendance present by noon. The
real rush from the city did not begin
until one o'clock, however, and by two
there was jam at and about the Elm
Grove station. The trains were run in
three sections, and. owing 10 the
excellent management all who de-
sired to go were provid
ed with transportation. The
total attendance at the Park was in ex-
cess Of 5000. The weather was delight
full up to half-past five o'clock when
the rain set IN, but this did not inter-
fere' with the programme arranged.
This embraced music by the Opera
House band, dancing and fine display
of daylight fire works, In addition
to all the natural and artif-
cial attractions at the Park. Here
daylight fireworks were very fine. and
were greatly enjoyed. They were I'M
der the management of DR.. Edmund
Booking and Mr.. Paul Reymann, and
they acquitted themselves well. The
children were especially delighted with
the balloons and representations OF ele-
plants, dogs, pigs, Japs, etc, sent up,
and the older spectators were not much
behind the Youngsters 10 their appre-
citation OF the spectacle.

Time was up and the game stopped.
The Y. M. G. A. boys gathered In the
centre Of the field and gave their club
yell and cheer, and the crowd OF five-hun-

in the grass under the shade trees,
slowly dispersed.

of time practicing during the summer,
they will be able to put up a first-class

aud niece of the dear Sister, who In the

with her, there were some whose regrets

DIaylnC. and an hours steayd
work under the sun was enough
10 completely wear out the most thor
oughly hardened athlete. The grass on
the field was ready for harvesting, ana
running through it was extremely dim
cult and laborious, while it was utterly
impossible to roll the ball. Furtner-
more, the ground is rough and uneven,
and the players limbs were in constant
danger on account of holes which chill
dren have dug, but which are hidden DY
the rank growth OF grass.
Both teams are composed Of good men
and had the game been under the rough
and-tumble rules, observed by the lead
ing colleges in their contests, the
Athletic club boys would surely have
been the winners. For the most part,
their team is composed OF beefy men and
good runners, but they do not know
how to play foot ball, and cannot Keep
their hands off the sphere. The Y. M.
C. A. boys are lighter and smaller, ana
besides being in practice at kicking the
ball have pretty thorough understand
ing of the rules under which yesterday S
game was played.
These rules are known as the "Asso-
citation Rules" and the main points are
that, excepting the goal keeper, no
ulayer's hands or arms shall come In
contact with the ball. Nothing counts
except the putting OF the ball through

PAzKHURsr on THE BRIGGS CASE

PARKHURsF On THE BRIGGS CASE.
The pivot on which the Briggs trial
now swings is whether or not the Pres
byserlan church should stake its all
upon the infallibility Of certain doc
trInes laid down In its confession Of
y faith.
In his sermon last Sunday DR.. PARK
HURST, Of New York, touching on the
Briggs case, pointed out that while it is
q common thing for churchmen to say
they pin their faith to certain doctrines
and that II those doctrines give way
the church's foundation must
fall. It must, at the same time, be ad-
mItted that all the doctrines OF the
church have not proven infallible. "At
one time" said DR.. PARKHURsT, "sci-
ence and religion contended that the
earth was the centre Of the universe.
To question that doctrine was to diSbe-
lievo religion. The church staked its
validity upon that doctrine" And he
argued that since the church was wrong
in its doctrines then, it has no ground
upon which to claim that its doctrines
cannot be wrong now. He added:
