miss all the time.
Towards the end Of the second half
there was battle between the punters
of the two teams, with no advantage on
either side, and time was called with
the ball in Berkeley's territory. The
game was the fastest ever sesn on this
coast, and although Berkeley lost. she

football enthusiasts.

NO FOOTBALL GAME.
The Cold Weather Spoiled the Sport
at Island Park.

mt Island Park.
The football game for the Doddridge
sword fund, which was to have been
played at the Island Park, was called
off on account of the cold weather.
Here is the story as written by an en-
thusiast:
PLAY ball. cried Chas Adams.
chief promoter, manager and subcenter
and right tackle for the Rough Riders,
hut through the dense falling snow
flakes not form was seen to stir.
"Methought / heard a familiar voice"
spoke Pickett, the great end Of the
Madisons as the faint cry of adams was
heard echoing over the frozen ground,
finally reaching the group of braves
budding close together around the
! large bonfire some thoughtful rooter
had started. PLAY ball?" said all in
chorus. Eyes, to be sure, that's what
we're here for" but the main question
had yet to be settled.
1t was as if party of soldiers on pro-
vost duty had gathered around their
camp fire to exchange tales of adven-
ture or listen to stories of home. Eyes,
Of course we're going to play ball, but
first how are we going to play it," A
knowing smile spread over the coun-
tenance of the little quarter back,
Kurtz, OF the Rough Riders, better
known as Goetze's wonder. Array4d in
full football paraphernalia. it was seen
that he bad strung around his form
pair of skates He unbuckled them and
slowly started to put them on. 81 pro-
pose," said Kurtz, ito play on skates"
mo, no." spoke Sa La De, "this is to
be sober, serious game, and We can
not play it right if you've got a skate
on"
BY this time crowd of $4,000 people
or more had gathered around the bail
park-that is, they were around it
within a radius of ten miles, but they
were so orderly that net a rooter was
heard to root, nor horn heard to foot.
Just then the huge form Of Ike Shields
hove in sight, slowly making his way
to where for many a game he had kept
the crowd behind the ropes.
"He walks SLOW" said one brave;
I'VE had better send out a rescuing
party or he may get lost in the snow"
But as the blue trimmed in brass
uniform drew closer, the braves who
had assembled to struggle for suprenl-
acy on the gridiron cried for joy, for
the problem of how the game should
be played was at last solved. II was
plain, for Ike had strapped on his feet
pair of snowshoes. "Quick," cried
Adams, lend me those things until |
make my way to some telephone"
Closer and closer the braves huddled,
as it was getting colder and colder.
There was nothing to do now but to
await the return of their chief, Adams.
They had not long to wait, for there
came the limp form slowly trodding its
way back over the snow. mo use, my
braves" he was heard to moan, for he
had sent the following message to Jason
C. Stamp:
Il have my tribe of gridiron braves
on the field of battle and find I need
% pairs of snow shoes to start the
game"
But it was Christmas and there was
no answer to his message because there
was no listening ear at the other end
of the wire. no snow shoes, and the
game was off.
New Years is another holiday and it
may be warmer.
