The st. Louis, Town and Regiment
foot ball clubs have begun to practice
in earnest. 1t is not intended to open
the season until October 80. In the
| meantime there is fair prospect of q
game between the Philadelphia play
ers and the Town team. Captain Corn
well has sent his challenge, suggest
ing that they play on October 10th.
Should it be ascertained that the flag
ship will be in port until that date.
the challenge will surely be accepted.
Ensign McCormac of the. Philadelphia
and Ensign Wynchopp of the Benning-
ton were the crack players at Annap-
oils last year. There are other clever
kickers of the pigskin on Uncle Sans
cruisers fin port.
