SMITH ACADEMY BEATEN BY THEIR
RIVALS FROM MEXICO.
CAPTAIN HntehinsOn's Work The Feat-
ure of the Visitors Play,
From the St. Louis Post-D Dispatch

From the st. Louis fost-Dnspatch
The splendid work of Hutchinson,
the st. Louis boy who captains the
Missouri Military Academy eleven,
was the principal factor in his teams
success over the Smith Academy
boys at Sportsman's Park in a we'll
contested game by a score of p to
10. The attendance did not exceed
500. Col. A. F. Fleet, superin-
tendent, Major X. q. Matheson,
Capts. Semple and Matheson, in
st~ructors, and forty students of the
Mexico institution were present.
A score of ladies were in the grand
stand. The universities and other
educational institutions furnished
a large quota of the spectators. A
dozen pretty girls from the Forest
Park University were driven to the
grounds III a handsome drag drawn
by four horses. The harness and
vehicle were DECORATED with the
colors of that univerlty. When the
drag stopped its fair occupants
chorused their cry With enthusiasm
and graciously waved their kerchiefs
in acknowledgement to the cheers
of the spectators.
The "Mexicans," as Capt. Hutch
inson's team was dubbed, averaged
about 1853 pounds, their opponents
average not exceeding 145 pounds.
AS the play was almost entirely con-
fined to bucking the center and
line plays, the visitors superior
weight told from the start. Mexico
had scored her first touchdown and
kicked a goal within eight minutes
after the ball was put in play.
Hutchinson was a host in himself
and was very active in every de-
partment of the game He scored
four touchdowns and kicked every
goal he tried for, keeley's nervous
ness preventing him from getting a
chance at one. lie was mainly in
strumental in blocking forward
movements by the Smith Academy
boys. Hutchinson's most able ally
was Harvelle.
Capt. Richards, Briggs, DECK.
mann and Carter played well for
the locals. Runs OF So yards by
Briggs, As yards by Carter and a
neat pass by Richards to Dieckmann
on which the latter gained 30 yards
through clever work were note
worthy. Dieckmann's interference
was good and Briggs tackling at
tracted attention.
The "Mexicans" frequently
sprung their college cry:
"Hobble, gobble, fight and squab-
BILE.
Sis, boom, bah! NJ. NJ. A!
NJ. NJ. Al 'Rah! Rah! Rah."
The Smith Academy boys used
horns as a medium Of relieving pent
up enthusiasm when their favorites
gained an advantage.
Mexico scored three touchdowns
in the first half, and it was soon,
evident that they outclassaj ~.
rivals. Fl. Kaalea.f-s ~
lis life Aeoiey allowed the Dali
10 get in play before Hutchinson had
a chance to kick the second goal.
|. Smith Academy made a good up
hill fight, but the second half began
with the score Is to 6 against them.
Both teams made a touchdown in
the second half, Hutchinson kick
iIg a goal for Mexico, Briggs failing
fol- Smith. The final score was,
Mexico, %; Smith, 10.
Smith Academy was successful
in both games against their rivals
last rear. There was no serious in
juries On either side, Dieckmann's
wrencled leg being the worst.
There vas but little smuggling.

Miss Davis leaving home. Shotwell
said he did not correspond with
Miss Davis and does not know
whether she has been in the city OF

her relatives, who were searching foI
her in this city, received a telegram
from her home announcing the fac;
that she had returned, but giving nc
explanation of her absence.
The news of the girls return was
received through her uncle, Peter
Vaughn, who came to this city sew.
eral days ago in search of her. He
lives at gainesville, Mo-. During his
stay here he has been a guest OF the
Williams House, opposite the new
Union Station. 1t was his impress,
sion That the girl had probably e!op.
ed with a man named RichardShot-
well, whom 1t was ascertained she
had been in the habit of meeting
upon her visits to the city.
Late last evening Mr.. Vaughn re-
ceived Il telegram announcing tha
girls return home. He at once
packed his trunk and went to Var
aalla on the 81 55,flfhg tram. The
ofrTegram containing the information
of her return gave no hint as to the
cause of her disappearance, but Mr..
