NEWTON, Mass, Oct. 16.-Yale defeated
the Newton A. A. here this afternoon, 10 to
0, before a crowd of 5000 spectators. The
Yale team was a big disappointment. Their
play was loose, their backs showed little
good interference, and the way the Newton
backs repeatedly ripped up the holes in the
visitors line showed an unexpected weak
ness in their defense at several critical
points. There was really but one redeem
ing feature in their work as a team, and
that was in the Quickness with which the
backs got under way in receipt of kick
But the Yale backs fumbled punts in school
boy style, and only a technicality in rule
construction saved them from being forced
TO a safety through this looseness OF play.

LatOnia Fall Prize Captured by Boz
Under a TERRIFIC Drive.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 16.-The largest crowd
of the meeting was out at Latonia to see
the Kenton Stakes run. The weather was
fine and the track in perfect condition. The
big event fell to Box, the horse that is
barred from starting in any but stake races
at the track. Box acted very mildly at the
post to day, and succeeded in getting away
when the flag dropped and won under a
terrific drive from Eugenia Wickes. White
Frost, the favorite. finished next to last.
Outside of the stake event the second race,
a handicap for two-year-olds, was about
the best. Lillian Bell won most impressive
ly covering the six furlongs in 1:15, which
is the best time of the meeting for a two
year-old at the distance. The betting was
very lively and the bookieS quit big win

good work by Dibbee and remarkable run

TURES HIM.
MARCHES HIM TO CITY HALL,
WHERE SHE GETS A WARRANT
FOR HIS ARREST-HER SEN
SATIONAL STORY.
ERICSSON WILL BE HONORED.
Monument Association Formed
Sudden Death of Mill City
Woman.

A sensational affair occurred on
Nicollet avenue yesterday noon in
which Mrs. John r. Hank proved her
self to be equal to any policeman and
her husband, whom she charges with
desertion, kidnapping and bigamy,
found himself as securely corralled
as though the entire police and de-
tective force of the city had placed
him under arrest.
Mrs Hank was going down Nicollet
lust before noon, when she was seen
to rush across the street and grab
tall, muscular man by the shoulder.
He was taken by surprise, and for
moment did not know what to say.
Mrs. Hank explained her conduct
without any urging. She had been
looking for him for five years, and
lu6w that she had found him there
should be no means. of escape. A
crowd collected and Officer Averill ap-
peared and asked the couple to accom-
pany him to police headquarters.
Down the avenue they went, Mrs.
Hank holding on to Mr.. Hanks coat
tail. At the city hall she told the
police that five years ago her husband
had deserted her, taking their 5-year-
old daughter with him. She was left
to earn her own living, which she had
done by working out, scrubbing floors
and washing. She also alleged that
Hank was residing at his place at
Camden Place and had married again.
Mrs. Hank was informed that the
police could not arrest her husband
unless she swore out a warrant. She
was unwilling to go to the municipal
court for a warrant for fear that Hank
would escape her, so she held on to his
Ccattails and pulled him about wher-
ever she went. Finally, she started
for the court. This unique family
group finally encountered the city at
torney, who issued an order for the
arrest of Hank on a charge of nom
support. Mrs. Hank gave a sigh Of
relief when her husband was placed
in the central police station.
Hank is quite. well known at Camden
Place, and is said to be a man of con-
siderable means. Mrs. Hank is a small,
poorly clad woman and shows the evil
dences of hard work. She says that
her desire now is to recover her child,
whom she has not seen since the father
took her away, and to secure support
for herself.
