such strong teams as the University OF
Washington. the Seattle Athletic club
and she Young Mems Christian Assoc.a-
ton teams In the Held. there has been a
rumor that championship cup was 10 be
offered ss an incentive 10 greater efforts
on the part OF che teams. But IL was nor

president OF the Unaon Trunk line. who ls
an ardent adm.rer Of athletics n every
form, announced that his road. in con-
Junction with Albert Hansen. would do

Arrangements are progressing rapidly
for the big football game Thanksgiving
day between the Seattle Athletic Club and
the team from the Y. NJ. c. A From the
amount of interest being taken in the
game II seems that n will be the best at
tended football game ever played in Sc
attic. and those who have seen the two
teams play believe 1t will be one OF the
best played matches ever seen here. The
two teams are evenly matched. and each
has hundreds of adaerents who Will be on
hand to shout themselves hoarse in the
interest OF their favorites.
Managers Lewis and Inverarity have
been very busy with the arrangements for
the game the last few days. The cham
pionship cup adds new interest to their
laoors, and each Is determined his team
shall have ".
The price of admission to the game has
been set at 30 cents, and there will be no
extra charge for reserved seats. which
can be secured at the Dngley-Hardwick
Companys store on and after tomorrow.
The seats will be reserved by row and
number. and competent corps of ushers
will have charge OF seating the audience.
Only the seats In that portion Of the west
stand which is rooted over and has
benches in II viii be reserved. The
mainder Of the west stand and the base
ball grand stand will be opened for those
who do not secure reserved seats before
the day of the game.
A new feature In the arrangement for
the game, which evidences the rivalry be-
tween the two organizations. is the organ
king of a rooters club in both the Y.
NJ. c. A. and the s, A. c.. the members
OF each club being pledged to be present
and butcher the opposing rooters As the
two organizations each have about the
same number of members. 1t will be inter-
esting TO observe which gives most loyal
support TO ats team.
that the members OF the board of manage
ment OF the p. n. A. have acted as a unit
in sustaining the committee report on the
protest against II. ii. Connor. the Seattle
sprinter. IL is known that such Is the case.
Leaving all questions of justice or injus-
tlce aside. this bars Common from further
participation in amateur athletics and

puted supremacy In the 100 and 2a0-yard

Y. NJ. G. A. and Puget Sound university
football teams played November IL. Dick

a sharp. pistoi-like sound was heard.

son gave a spring. See here. Eddie" re-
marked Calhoun as he grabbed him by
the aim. this is not your day You
are right" replied Dickson, but thought

Dickson used 10 be one OF the cleverest
tumbiers In the Pacific Northwest, but he
has given IL up since he commenced
sprinting. II Ii were not for the danger
OF getting his knees injured he would
probably be playing quarterback on the
Puget Sound university football team.
The s. A. c and Y. NJ. c. A. evidently
