1t was badger versus corDhusker
yesterday afternoon at the west side
baseball park, Milwaukee, and the
badger won
Hereby hangs a. tale of deep sur
prise, not unmixed Of chagrin, and
fear that turned later to juhilation
when it developed that the fear was
groundIess and the reason for chagrin
but temporary.
The surprise came at 1885 p. m, in
the presence of Milwaukee's elite in
side-line boxes, grandstand seats, tai
ly-hos, tandem turnouts and even au-
Etomobiles. To these were added some
$50 Madisonians, a handful Of Ne
braskans and enough others to make
up an audience of 1000 people.
Captain Curtis, having won the toss,
caused Captain Westover TO accept
the adverse condition of light wind.
Tobin kicked off to Marshall on Wis
consin's 5-yard line and Driver kicked
back. The ball travelled back and
forth from one team to another, up

devoted to listening to Schley ana
Sigsbee in making corrections of their
testimony which had been given pre-
viously and the introduction by Judge
Advocate Lemly of numerous docu-
ments bearing upon the different
phases of the inquiry. Schley did not
make any material additions to his
Pr vi, us statements, but devoted him
self largely 70 the clearing UP of am
higuous points of his evidence. An
effort as made TO introduce two new
witnesses who were expected to give
testimony in Schley's behalf concern
ing the controversy regarding what in
formation Sigsbee communicated to
Schley when he arrived off Santiago in
May, 1899. One of these was Frank
B. Richards and the other George
Lynch, botn New York newspaper
correspondents who were on duty in
Cuba and in Cuban waters during the
war. Lynch was ON the press boat
Somers n. Smith and Richards on the
Premier. They were TO have testified
concerning the meeting of those yes
sells with the st. Paul, of which Sigs-
bee was in command. The court, how
ever, decided not to hear them.
The opening speech of the argument
was made in behalf of the government
by Hanna, assistant Judge advocate,
He began his presentation of the case
few minutes after the court con
vened at 2, and when the court ad
journed two hours later he had not
covered more than half the ground In
volved in the controversy.

yesterday, the final score being Chica-
go II, Beloit II. In the first half Chi
cage went down the field twice for
touchdowns, on one of which McNab
missed the goal. The second half start
ed out as if for a repetition of the pro-
cess of crushing Beloit Sheldon, who
carried the ball over during the first
kaif, again rammed past the goal. The
Wisconsin boys then suddenly became
aggressive. From their own 20-yard
line they forced the ball to Chicago's
16-yard line Here Merrill kicked g
goal from the field. In 10 minutes more
Beloit forced the ball back to Chicago's
2o-yard line, where Merrill took the
ball around Chicago's left end for a
touchdown and later kicked a goal. Be-
&0it made the next touchdown by
straight football, during which three
Nen had to be taken out of the game.

the home of his sister; Mrs. McNutt

been in failing health. He was very

quarrel involving large financial inter-
ests and the favor of Josie Mansfield,
a beautiful Californian. Stokes was
sixty years of age.

ka said Our boys played a hundred
per cent. better game today than they
| did against Minnesota. Even if the
playing had been no better in that
game and we had punted as well as
we did today, Minnesota would not
| have scored. I feel satisfied Wiscon-
sin is better than Minnesota in both
defense and offense and the prediction
of a badger victory is a safe one"
EVerts Wrenn, who umpired yester-
| days game, said. wisconsin is today
playing the best football of any team
in the west, but will be much stronger
Two weeks hence, particularly in the
ground-gaining department. The
men play hard and fast and show
good head work, but are lacking in the
team work they are capable of. They
need to get into the plays in greater
