STANFORD VARSITY WINS.
Reliance Fails to Score in the Practice
Game With the Paio Alto
Football Men.

PALO ALTO, CAL, Nov. 10.-Stanford
Varsity lined up against Reliance this
afternoon in q practice game, and kept the
OakIanders from scoring. Stanford made
long gains at first through the Reliance
line, the work of Fickert at interference
being specially strong. His interference
made it possible for Seawright to make
long gains. Cotton played fullback and
his work was of the "star" order. Cotton
made tlrst touchdown from the 3o-yard
line seven minutes after play began.
earle and Fisher worked especially well
together Straight made one of the long
est runs to-day by unaided efforts.
After the second kickoff Stanford never
lost the ball till she made the second
touchdown. No goals were tried. The men
we're changed frequently by both SIDES
throughout the game. B. Thomas played
strongly and Freeman, when tried at full
back, bucked and punted well. Dole at
left half proved unusually strong at buck
ing. He has not been able to play in
practice recently, hence his performance
j S all the more noticeable.
For Reliance Arlett and Sexton did the
best work, but the tries at the Stanford
line were absolutely useless.
B. Thomas made the third down for
Stanford after twenty-five minutes play.
Late in the second half Dole made pretty
30-yar0 end run, carrying the bail to the
Reliance 15-yard line. Fisher and Thomas
carried the ball over.
Lacuna made several pretty tackles for
Reliance. Cotton and Fisher were entitled
to more ard line bucking than any other
two men on the field. G. Thomas played
strong tackle in Cotton's old position A
fifth touchdown was made before time was
finally called. Score, 20 to 0.

$4,000. On the day of the transfer Mr..
Morrison was taken into custody on a
warrant charging grand larceny in mis-
appropriatlng about $780, 900 due the city oi
Troy for money collected under the
Raines law. He was bailed on this
charge, the bond being $4,000.
A day or two later, as result of inves-
tigation of the County Treasurer ae.

was again arrested on a charge of grand
larceny in misapproI rating about $3.50,
600 OF county funds. He was indicted by
Grand Jury two weeks ago and his tria
was begun to-day and seven jurors had
been obtained wren court adjourned fol
noon recess. For day or two rumors
had been current that be would plead

JAIL Soon hundred people congregated
about the jail and in the Railways leading
to it to gain the latest information from

The Great Chess Player Talks about
Future tournaments.
LONDON, ENG, Nov. 10.-A represen-
tative OF the United Associated Presses
had an interview to-day with Henry n.
Pillsbury OF Brooklyn, n. Y, the Ameri-
can chess expert, who is in London on his
way back to America from the Continent.
where se has been playing, having taken
part in the recent chess tournaments held
in Nurem burg and Budapest
Mr.. PiIlsbury said he would not chal-
lenge Showalter, but if Showalter should
challenge, he would play, not for the title
OF champion, but for money, any amount
over $1,000; anywhere and at any time
after the expiration of two months. The
representative players of America and
Great Britain, Mr.. Pillsbury said, would
be much more interesting than the
previous one, in consequence of the fact
that there would be two additional players
on each side.
America, he added. would have to play
the best team that could possibly be got
together in order TO defend the trophy, as
England would make special efforts to
win it.
1.-The time has arrived" Mr.. Pillsbury
said, "to hold an international chess tour
nament IN the United States, exceeding in
importance anything of the kind that has
ever been held. In my opinion double
round tournament with eigh cen of the
best European players offering to partici
pate, the foreign players to receive The
full sum OF their expenses, would be tn,
best plan. l would suggest that if Boston
and Philadelphia contribute pecuniary
aid to the scheme portion of the games
of the tournament be played in thos'
cities"
Mr.. PIilsbury will sail for New York OIL
boaro the steamer st. Louis on Saturday
and will take two months rest at home

Mr.. JAMES NARROW ESCAPE.

Mr.. John a. James, prominent farm
er of Weybridge. is laid up in bed bv in
iuries received in an encounter with a
-year-old. Jersey bull on Tuesday even
ing. He bought the animal last Satur-
day of Mr.. W. f. Hammond of this
town, and when he took him out to
water him Tuesday night the staff by
which lie led him broke. The bull be-
gan the attack by tossing Mr.. James
high in the air and then he rolled him all
over the barnyard, which Is on Il side
hill. before the three men who were
close at hand could drive him of. For
tunately the brute had been dehorned,
or Mr.. James would in all probability
have been killed. Mr. James had one
tooth broken and was severely damned
and bruised all over. No bones were
broken. however, and there seems to be
no occasion for fearing internal Injuries.
The bull will probably go to market next
Monday morning.
