A. b. Mecanns Dead.

At 5 o'clock Friday evening A.
B. McCanns, whose demise had
been expected for some hours pre-
.vious, breathed his last at the
home of his sister, Mrs. Tanner.
Mr.. McCanns was brought here
several weeks ago, thinking possi-
bly, the change would help him,
but disease had too strong a grip
on the mortal man. The remains
were taken to Gainesville yesterday
morning in charge of A. Eddleman
and Moran Scott, two brothers del
egated by the Masonic lodge at this
place. 1t was Macs last request
10 be buried by the Masons, an
order he loved. The Gainesville
lodge was prepared to receive the
remains of their brother and give
them burial. Deceased had many
warm friends in Ardmore, having
lived here for some time several
years ago. He leaves a wife and
three little girls.

Still i'm Pursuit.

In regard to the fugitives who
escaped from the United States
Jail here Friday morning the
ARDMOREITE has but little to add
to the report given Friday after
noon.
The dogs were brought back to
town Friday evening, it being
very apparent that they had had
no training in manhunting. At
certain places the tracks of the
two men were plainly seen by the
naked eye. but the dogs took little
heed of them.
The officers divided, some fol-
lowing up the trail, others having
gone ahead to the former run
ming grounds" of one of the
criminals.
No tidings came in Yesterday.
The officers after the boys are all
determined men--Hammer. Gar
rett, Booker, McLemore, Kendall
and others-and it is safe to ven
ture if they ever get in sight or
hearing of the fugitives they will
bring them in.

K. ofp. Entertainment.

The Knights of Pythias of this
city have engaged Mr.. Francis
Dade, an entertainer and rendi-
zionist of extraordinary accom-
plishments, to head a program to
be given next Wednesday night,
May "a. at the opera house. Mr..
Dade's work is guaranteed to be
of more pleasing character than
that of any other entertainer who
has appeared in ArdmUre this sea-
son. He has received the benefit
of not only the best preparatory
training, being a graduate of the
Scott Saxon school of Oratory, but
has possessed himself of some of
the methods of the old masters of
dramatic art, Booth, Forest and
McCredy, through association and
work with classic actors to whom
their methods and business"
have come through successive gen.
erations of Interpreters of classic
roles.
In this regard Mr.. Dade differs
from the average entertainer and
elocutionist. His renditions will
be costumed historically correct
and rendered with all the appro
pirate stage settings, music and
light effects. His comedy sketches
and dialectician work are more
than pleasing.
Probably no better program of
local talent has been arranged in
Ardmore tEan the one for this af-
fair. All have generously agreed
to take part, among whom are:
Mesdames Campbell, Westhei-
mer and Ledbetter; Misses Plank
and Cobb; Messrs. Smith, Daven-
port, McNary, Morgan, Mason,
Troutman, Wilkerson and How
land. Music for the occasion will
be furnished by Brower's or
chestra.

The age-herald., 1899-08-27

Those who have kept close watch over the various teams during the past few years have come to look upon West Point as a worthy rival of Yale, Harvard, ana the other Varsity elevens. Last year the team did fairly good work but the pros pect for next season is not encouraging as the graduation of G. V. Heidt, D. Humph- reys. l.. B. Kroner, c. A. Romeyn and A. 10. Waldron, all members of the class of '99 Is setback from which the institution will not soon recover. Waldron was one of the best backs in the country, while Heidt who has been used both as guard and as a tackle, was one of the most brilliant play CTS who ever appeared on the cadet eleven.
 Kroner as a quarterback was hard to equal and it will be many long day be- fore the managers discover as good a kicker and line breaker as Romeyn.
 This wholesale graduation of stars, fol- lowing so closely upon the departure of Baender the crack end, will compel the team to search for almost wholly new ma terial Smith being the only big man who is left at the academy.
 As usual the coaching this year will be done by graduates who are stationed close at hand but beyond this few plans have been made, although the new team will have a hard schedule in the new collegi- ate arena to line up to, not to mention the contest between the cadets and the boys from Annapolis, which Is one of the most interesting football possibilities of the football season.
 No football team in the country can pre- sent such a dramatic history as the Indian

have been made for games with many strong teams, two only, West Point and Carlisle, may be regarded as approaching first class. As the result the new team, in spite of all Its experience, may hope for enough victories to break the spell and make the men aspire to better things in the future.
 The strongest date on the schedule is the game with Carlisle on Thanksgiving day and it is believed that by that time the Columbia men will be in a fit condition to hold their own with the Indians, for there are few clubs that have started with more promising material. Welles, the university strong man, is built like a typical football player and needs only little coaching to make him familiar with the duties ot tackle. Cauther, an old Amherst man, will do good work as guard O'Rourke, the ex- Trinity student who made such a good reputation as an aggressive player in his preparatory school days, will make a strong line packer, and Captain Simons, Stromeyer. Norman, and half a dozen others have played good football in former days. With such material and the good financial support that is already assured, there is no reason why Columbia should not advance to the very front rank within a year or two. Such an achieve ment would be the greatest possible in- spiration to the game in every part of the country.
The age-herald., 1899-08-27

team at Carlisle, Pa. No other eleven ath letes have had so varied and so interesting a life Each can remember his tribe and the old free life in the woods and yet he feels it his duty to thrust these pleasures from him to lead his race in the onward march of civilization. They play football because they love it. Long before their school had made a reputation in the ath- letic world Coach Woodruff of Pennsyl- vania said: "Those men are ideal football players undevelpoed," and the history of the club has shown that his words were prophetic. At first they made but poor showing, but as they became acquainted with the tricks of the white man they im- proved until today they are considered for midable adversaries by any of the elevens. Last year they made good showing and as there are to be but few changes in the team this season it is anticipated that the improvement will continue, in which case their victories may be of even more con- spicuous a character.
 s Affairs at Cornell are still in somewhat of a tangle and whether the differences are healed or not will depend largely upon the diplomatic ability of Captain Starbuck. Unless he can succeed in doing this and can reorganize his team upon a more har- monious basis, Cornell will be out of 1t in the football race this season. The story of the trouble between the two factions in the team has been told too often to require reiteration but as the majority of the fra ternity and club men of the university are supporting the Athletic Council it is quite probable that all the breaches may bc
The age-herald., 1899-08-27

Those who followed football last season do not hesitate to admit that 1898 was an off year, but they are in hopes that suffi- cient new material will be developed this fall to make the season of 1899 more sue- cessful one. Last year only one of the big college elevens showed true championship form. Yale's team was the poorest turned out at that institution in many years; Harvard showed some slight improvement; Pennsylvania had retrograded noticeably and Princeton, Cornell, Carlisle, Brown and West Point had all they could do to keep up anything like semblanee to their old form.
 Experts differ as to the cause of this de- terioration. Some insist that the defense is rapidly becoming stronger than the attack and it must be admitted that kicking is be- coming more and more prominent every season. Others hold that limit should be placed on the weight in the center of the line and they point, as an illustration, to the exhaustion of the Princeton trio of big men near the end of their game with Yale.
 One expert expresses the opinion that the management of the teams show poor judg- ment in not striving for better kickers and and that equally poor judgment is shown by the captains in not attempting to make
The age-herald., 1899-08-27

goals instead of touchdowns, and so the theories.
 Whether one or all of the experts are one thing is certain, something is radically wrong and unless a change is made the popular interest in the game will show de- crease instead of increase at the end of next season.
 One of the most important events in foot ball history of the present year is the re- vival in interest In the game that is being shown at Columbia. For more than three years no attempt has been made to ar- range for intercollegiate games in New York City, but now that the Colubia men have come together and have leased Man. hattan field there is reason to hope that some good contests may be seen there this season. At present more than $2,OOO has been subscribed to meet the preliminary expenses of the club and about forty men have signifed their intentions of striving for a position on the big eleven. William B, Mitchell is manager and Simons cap tain.
 A glance at the Columbia schedule for the fall work shows that the new club Is starting in on the same lines that so suc- cessfully brought Penn, Cornell and other universities to the front in the years past. Naturally the first years team will not be the strongest thing that ever happened and 1t is a well known fact that nothing will discourage players more than an unbroken series of defeats.
 That such a condition will exist at Co., lumbia is doubtful, for while arrangements
