THE NEWS FROM CANDY.

Fort Candy, Wash, July %, 1895.
The Fort Candy football team had an
excursion to NaIhcotta, Washington, yes
terday, at the invitation of the South
Bend football team. The weather was
perfect and quite a crowd from the fort
cook advantage of the "trip, to see the
town of Nlahcoltta, i'm connection with
promised rabtling game. The South Bend
team had already showed itself to be of
very good metal, and DIT was anticipated
that the boys from the fort would have
their hands fun.
The game commenced at 1880 p m,
South Bend winning the toss for goals;
they took advantage of the strong south
west wind blowing along the field. The
game commenced fast and furious. The
South Benders scored two goals before
the soldiers even had time ITO say the
proverlbal Jack Robinson. In fact, the
first goal was scored in four minutes,
and the second one followed in quick sue
cessfon, coming in wUthtn the limit of ten
minutes.
Things Cooked rather blue for Fort Cam
by, they having the wind still In their
faces, but, by a change Of tactics, thsy
turned the tables on the Benders and be-
fore the first half was over, they had
also two goals Ito their credit. This was
the standing at the end Of the first half.
There was the usual number of South
Bend enthusiasts ON the grounds and, as
their team won the first two goals, yells
of approval and encouragement were fire.
quent, and 1T seemed as If the South
Bend people had been training for a yell
ing contest the way they acquitted them
selves. But when the soldiers commenced
to play in earnest, THE yells suddenly
subsidad into a confused murmur of evil
dent discontent, and Gn occasional grunt
of deep dissatisfaction permitted itself
to be heard from among their ranks. But
all was taken in THE best natured man
ner possible throughout the game, and
the soldiers are all of THE opinion that,
next to the Ashorians, the South Bend
Football Team HAS been the most grace
full in defaalt, and Urea ted them most roy
ally.
In Hhe second half the soldiers went in
to do or die, and 1t the Close Of the game
the score stood: Fort Cnnby, g.; South
Bend, O. In spite of all the hard work
of THE Soubh Bend team, they were un-
able to prevent the successive scoring of
the Fort Candy boys; but they mad then
the wind to contend with, in addition to
the soldier team, and that is in Itself a
great drawback.
ann In possession of inside information
that the South Bend tenn expect that
their next contest will be with the A. f.
C. during the big regatta Of the latter
club. 1t is to be hoped that the pre-
diction is correct, as the South Bend
Team is in exceptionally good trim, and,
with the players they expect ito have in
place of some who played yesterday, they
will prove themselves to be by no meane
sedJnd rate adversary to the redoubt-
able A. f. c.
