The Brattleboro High school football
team defeated the Bellows Falls High
school team on the latters grounds Mon
day in one of the hardest-fOught games
ever seen in Bellows Falls. The playing
from the start until the last whistle was
blown was fast and determined, Brattle-
boro winning by her superior offensive
work and better staying qualities. The
home teams only touchdown was scored
in less than a minute after play began by
Busby, who took the ball on the kickoff
aud ran go yards, through Bratteboro's
whole team, planting the sphere squarely
behind the goal posts. On the next kick
off the ball stopped on Brattleboro's 20
yard line, but by good interference on the
part of the backs and the excellent work
of the guards and tackles the ball was TAX
en- steadily up the field until within five
minutes from the time the game began
Allen was put through the line for touch
down. A tumble by Brattleboro back
on the following kickoff gave Bellows
Falls the ball on Brattleboro's 10 yard line,
but the home team could gain neither
through the line nor around the ends and
after three-yard loss by Busby the visit
ors were again on the offensive, though
far away from their opponents goal. On
the first rush Monroe placed the ball 40
Yards nearer its destination, Mellen short
ened the distance by 10 yards, and several
good rushes by Whitman and Allen
brought the sphere within three yards of
the goal. Mellen carried it over the line
on the next play and also kicked the goal.
Brattleboro had the ball on Bellows Falls's
20 ward line when time was called.
In the second half the Brattleboro boys
lost the ball on tumble after few min
utes of play, and during the remainder of
the time were wholly on the defensive.
Aided by 10 yards for offside play by the
visitors Bellows Falls was able to rush the
ball to within two yards of Brattleboro's
goal. Here the Brattleboro line held like
a rock and the home team was obliged to
give up the ball after three unsuccessful
attempts to gain. Brattleboro had ad-
yahced the ball five yards when time was
called.

From Gov. Roosevelt's speech before the Re
publican club at Boston,

LtrOm GoV. hooseVelJs speech betOre the lie
publican club at Boston,
If the apostles of peace IS months ago
had had their way, Cuba would have been
desolaJed from one end to the other now
Cuba would now be a scene of such awful
and hldeous misery aud destruction that
we would have the same cause TO feel
ashamed that the people of Europe had
when they looked on Armenia's death
agony. Who brought peace? The apostles
of peace? The professional advocates of
peace? No. The men who said, "we
went peace; We desire it, but there are
things to which we will not submit. We
wish peace but we prize honor, humanity,
manhood, so much that we will risk tenn
porary danger, that we will face death, tC
win a lasting peace for that country and Il
win honor for the American dag. Thank
heaven, belong to the party and asso
ciate with he people that gives me the
right to speak on the side of the question
that do speak on.

One of the Most Formidable Teams in
the South.

the South.
This is the way the Washington Post
describes the game which Baltimore Medi-
cal college won from Georgetown univer-
sity 16 to 0: eleven numbering medicos
upholstered the sad colored grass carpet
on the Georgetown gridiron with their
heavy weight shapes, and incidentally used
the figures of the blue and gray athletes
for footstools, rustic benches and reclin-
ing chairs. This elephantine bunch halls
from Baltimore Medical college, and by
their performance yesterday they were
rated by one of the foot ball sharps
as one of the most formidable teams
in the South. A veritable band of Titans
are these budding physicians, with chests
as broad as the back of four wheeled
hack, and the neck development of Texas
steer.
Full Back Henkel, a stalwart, wiry med
leo, had a rude fad for mistaking the OPP
posing athletes for bowling alley pins He
organized his steely anatomy into a sprint
ing ten pin ball and moved up and down
the grass through a lane of sanguinary
Georgetown athletes, who were cheerfully
upset by the shfty allopath. Henkel scor-
ed two of the three touchdowns that went
to the credit of the visitors, and his long
distance run for the second score was the
feature of the game.

The Best Money-wlnnIng Stable.


Maplewood farm, Portsmouth, N. H.,
owned by Frank Jones, leads the list of
money winning stables this year. Under
the able tutelage of Tom Marsh, the trot-
tiers from the New Hampshire establish
ment have more than held their own with
the cracks of the turf, and Marsh has the
honor of training and driving the two
largest money winning trotters of the year,
Idolita and Kngmond.
Idolita (3) (212), by reason of his vic
tories in the New England futurity and
the Horse Review stake, heads all trotters
with $4,000 to his credit, and Kingmond
comes second with S147S1. During the
season the trotters were started in 80 races,
they took first money 14times, second five ;
third FIVE, fourth twice, and ten times were
unplaced. Idolta's record was lowered to
PIP, fastest 3-year-old stallion of the year /;
Kingmond got a mark of 200, the fastest
newcomer to the standard list among the
seasons trotters. With the other tTotters
in the stables Marsh did good work also.
He set the seasons record for four-year-
old gedings at 2. 101, with Who Is It, low
cred Tom Boys record to 104, Kilda's
to 2.144, and gave Cellar mark of 2.20.

Tommy Dowd has been offered the man
