FOOTBALL TOO TAME.
Cincinnati Players Had to Scrap to
Make 1t Interesting.

Cincinnati, Nov. 13.-The Commercial
Tribune this morning prints a story of
a football game between two high school
teams of this city, those of the Hughes
high school and the Walnut Hill high
school, in which there was riotous fight.
Each high school had banner. Some
one fired the Walnut Hill banner and
held the blazing flag aloft.
At first the fighting was chiefly in
front of the grand stand, where it ap-
peared 80 indecent that the police inter-
fered 1t was back of the grand stand,
however, that the serious business was
transacted. There one player was laid
unconscious for several minutes from
blow on the head by fence picket, an
other got a broken nose from a brick,
while many came off with black eyes and
bruised heads.
In the fisticuffs before the game the
Hughes high school won, but in the
game the Walnut Hills were victors by
score of 10 to 0.

Attention is called to the announce
ment this morning of Mr.. Milton Morris
as candidate for alderman from the
First ward. Mr.. Morris was for a great
number of years city clerk, and no one in
Austin Is better acquainted with the
workings of the city's affairs than he.
He made an ideal city clerk and will
make an ideal alderman, if elected, as
we feel assured he will be. Austin GER
tainly needs just such aldermen as Mr..
Milton Morris will make, and we wish
him all success in his race, which will
hardly be such as we understand he has
