Interest of Local Athletes Centered
on Foot Ball.
UNFORTUNATE DISPUTE OVER 4 GAME
TranscontinentaI Bicycle Record
Beaten.
M A HER AND CHOYNSKI

The foot ball game which was played Sat-
urday between the Baltimore Athletic Club
and the Columbia Athletic Club turned out
in rather an unsatisfactory manner. In
the second half, just after Clarke had made
brilliant run, the visitors protested, be-
cause they claimed he did not call down."
Clarke asserted that he did, and Referee
Wells sustained him. Mr.. Wells says he
gave the Baltimore boys three minutes to
resume playing, but number of persons
on the grounds were not aware of his de-
cision. Umpire Purnell says the Orioles
won by a score Of 10 to 8, but Mr.. Wells
says the c. A. C. won by the score of II
to 10, giving them the benefit of the touch
down by Clarke. Both teams left the field,
however, and the decision made by the
referee has to stand.
The playing was good on both sides, and
good tacking and running were features.
Baltimore has two touchdowns and one goal
to her credit, while Columbia has two
touchdowns. Clarke's playing was prob
ably the most brilliant of any of the partic.
pants, and his clever work was the bright
star on the Columbia side. A large gather
ing was out to see the sport. The two
teams lined up as follows:

Judgment on the average quality of

minder OF broken promises made to

1t appears TO be the intention OF the
city council to take up the water ques-
ton. The plan is to advertise for bids
for a service: these will be sought in
large cities all the way between San
San Francisco and Boston. The propo-
sition is TO dicker for a supply for one,
two or three years and also TO get
figures on a franchise for 40 years. 1t
seems to us that the term for the fran

too short, even If it be for three years.

tract attention-we may look in the
eastern republican organs for flatter-
ing references to Mr.. Brice. Such
journals as the New York Tribune
that have uniformly denounced Brice

Mr.. Brice has II in his power TO
stand off the free-coinage democrats
in Ohio for long time-he runs the
machine in that state. 1t has not been
popular opinion that the free-coinage
element in the Ohio democracy is as
strong as Mr.. Thurman reckons it to
be: If he is right, that element can
make itself heard in spite of all that
MIR. Brice may undertake to do. Mean
while. things are all right in Illinois
there is no question as to the favor
in which free coinage stands with the

Mr.. Whitney's Work.

1t is now reported that Mr.. Whitney
is the man who is going TO take the
Les dership Of Tammany. That would
be an odd arrangement. although Mr.
Whitney is on friendly terms with
many Tammany leaders and he has
even rendered the society very signifi-
cant service.
IL will be remembered that the anti
Tammany democracy was the organ
ization that made the anti-snapper
fight in Mr.. Clevelands behalf. Mr..
Hill. as early as Washington's birth
day in 1892 had hastily summoned a
state convention which endorsed him
warmly for the office of president. This
snap conventions work stirred up Mr..
Fairchild and others. and really their
service as anti-snappers was OF ac-
count
Mr.. Whitney had nothing to DO with
this anti-snapper movement: he said
that the best way was to let the Hill
movement have its run. Just the same
however. after the opposition to Hill
had been well worked up, Mr.. Whitney
walked leisurely into the Chicago con.
vention, took the whole matter out OF
the hands of Mr.. Fairchild, Mr.. Grace
and the others, and he got the credit
for the nomination Of Cleveland. Later
