and colleges all over the country are pre-
pairing for the fall campaign
For years Richmond College and Nc
Caba's School have had splendid football
teams. and this season will De no excep-
Ton. Already the college boys. under
Coach -Kerna's training. are getting to-
1arf perfection. and in a short while the
1tcCabe's Tigers viii go in for training.

Guiding the High School and the Medical
Colleges, will have their gridiron heroes,
and there will be many local battles fought

Fall.

This Year.
MANY LOCAL TEAMS FORMING,

The approach of the football season
brings out the query: Has football lest
its popularity as baseball has done, or is
there still foudness for the old Rugby
game lingering in the breast Of the
masses?"
Indications point TO the fact that foot
ball is just as great 4 favorite with the
masses as It ever was. and probably q lit
tie more.
The heroic game Will always appeal 70
the young athletes. and the girls who i'd
rlirs strength and endurance ard bravery
will always look with admirins eyes upon
the hero of the gr.diron.
The college teams all over the country
are putting themselves into condition for
the great fall game. and the season that
closes on Thanksgiving Day next, VIII
probably be one of the most successful
since football became national game.

Two Men Hurt at Indian Head bx
Bursting Shells.

There was terrific explosion at Indian
Head about o'clock Thursday afternoon
that resulted in the partial destruction of a
magazine and the wounding of two men,
One of them. Lieut.. Joseph Strauss, was
quite badly hurt His head was cut, while
Gunner Hugh Sinclair had his left
shoulder seriously hurt. Both men. it
is reported, are under treatment at
the medical dispensary at Indian Head
According to reports received here the ex-
plosion was so great that buildings We're

been an earthquake. 1t is stated that two

the explosion occurred the man in charge
made the remark: "She opened her mouth

STEAMFITTERs' STRIKE.
Third Week, With No Prospect of Set
tIement.

The third week of the strike inaugurated
by the local steamfttcrs and helpers, began
this morning, and apparently the settle
ment of the difficulty is as far away as
ever. AS heretofore, each day since the
trouble began, there was a large gathering
OF the men most directly interested at the
headquarters of the Steamftters Union, on
18th street northwest.
The men reported that not more than
eight or ten rfon-union steamfitters and
helpers are at work for the EMPLOYERS
while there are about thirty members of
the union who have secured positions at
their trade IN the District. There are no
members of the craft from other cities in
Washington, it was stated. and it Is thought
that II is not probable that any will come
mere. so long as the present status of af-
f&lrs continues. The men attribute the lack
o! outside members of the craft here to the
fact that the existence of the strike has
been extensively advertised in many of the
big papers throughout the country.
