ROUGE GAME OF FOOTBALL.
The Paterson True Blue Defeatedth
Kearny by a Close Score.

Another interesting game vas played
Sunday in the National Football League
between the Kearny A.. C. and the True
Blues of Paterson. The match vas on
the ground of the Kearny Club and 1000
people watched the playing The game
was an exciting one, marked by a great
deal of rough play. 1t was a contest in
which strength was more in evidence than
skill. The True Blues made a feature Of
long kicks and depended on the rough
charging of the forward line to force the
ball between the posts. The Athletics be-
gan the fray with a combination of a
team play, but soen changed this to re-
turning the rough play of their opponents.
During the second half Hugh McGee OF
the Athletics was rendered insensible by
a foul tackle by one of the Paterson play
ers, and it was ten minutes before he
was in condition to continue. The first
goal was kicked in twelve minutes by
McAuiey for Paterson. In twenty min
utes Mulvey for the Athletics shot a goal.
The third goal of the game was made
four minutes later by Turner for True
Blue. Just before the half ended MCGEE,
by a fine piece of work.. doubled the ball
past three of the opposing team, shooting
the goal and tieing the score.
The second half was even rougher than
the first. Within ten minutes after the
half opened there were two penalty kicks
awarded the Blues for fouls made by the
Athletic backs. Neither of them Melted
goals, however, and it was twenty-five
minutes after play began that a goal was
scored. Then Oldfield kicked a good one
in a lively mix up on. the twelve yard linz.
Ten minutes later Lauter made another
on a mass play and two minutes after
ward the deciding goal was kicked by
Alexander. The line up was
Kearny A. C.-Hayes, goal: Samson and
Donnelly, full backs; McCance, Sagis and
Cutter, half backs; MCGEE and Richmond,
right wings; Mulvey, centre, Singleton
and Montgomery, left wings.
True Blues-Connolly, goah A1exander
and Turner, full backs; Upton, Finley
and Hall, half backs; McAuley and Lau-
ter, right wings: Macarthur, centre; Old
field and Leker, right wings.

yet had. In point of desperation this class
of men are regarded as worse than the gen.
u.ne cranks. They have been disappointed
in getting what they want and are in a
desperate mood when hustled on and fail
to get to say what they desire to the chief
executive These men do not get an oppor
tunfty to see the President during business
hours because he is generally busy re-
ceiving official callers.
None of the cranks arrested at the White
House in the last year have had cunning
enough to carry out any scheme they
might have. and il is doubtful If any of
them intended a wrong toward anybody.
They belonged to class Of men not bright
or keen when in full possession of their
mental faculties. The dangerous crank is
the man who has sense enough left to
conceal his intentions and who refuses to
tell his business to any but the proper
person. Such a man, if presenting proper
appearance in dress and otherwise, might
evade the lynx-eyed officers stationed at
the Executive Mansion, but there are
nine chances to one that some of them
would find him out and end his game.

A Boston LADY of the most reserved and
exclusive type was waiting for her change
at the glove counter in one of the large
stores when she was approached by a very
large, gaudily-dressed and ud-looking wo-
man. who held out pudgy hand in a
bright green kid glove, and said,
why, how do you do, Mrs. Blank?"
Mrs. Blank ignored the proffered hand,
and. drawing herself up stiffly said, frig-
idly:
Il do not think that know you. madam
mo, s'pcse not" replied the woman, in
no wise embarrassed by the GOODNESS of her
reception, but I've knowed you by sight
for long time, and now I've got a hired
girl who worked at your house once a year
