-Four Coaches at Annapolis.
With but four days remaining for prac-
tfce before the great foot ball struggle be-
tween the army and navy, at Philadelphia,
November 80, the naval cadets had their
first secret practice yesterday.

Kelly and Edwards, have divided the team
among them. Cochran and Hillebrand have
the ends and tackle men in hand, Kelly Is
coaching the men in the back field and Ed
wards has the two guards and center men.

very short lineup was had between the
| first and the scrub teams yesterday, more
attention being paid to the linemen, as the
| cadets are still slightly weak on the defen-
sive. Quarterback Smith who injured his
knee in the Columbia game last Wednesday
and was sent to a hospital in Philadelphia
for treatment, returned yesterday and went
through the signals with the teams.
In the few remaining days the team will
be fiercely coached, all realizing that they
have hard battle to fight with the army.
The navy supporters have but little
hope for the navys victory over the army,
but the cadets, however, will go nto the
game and fight to win. The team and Sub
stitutes, numbering about twenty-five, will
leave for Philadelphia next Friday.

A party of six Western League base ball
| magnates held meeting at Council Bluffs
yesterday to form plan of opposition to
the program that President Hickey and
Manager Tebeau are said to have mapped
out, and to consider the advisability Of re-
| tanning President Hickey's services longer.
Those present were Manager BeaI of
Sioux City, who holds the Minneapolis
| franchise; Van Brunt of st. Joseph, Flynn
| of DeS Moines, Manning of Kansas City,
| Burns Of Colorado Springs and Rourke of
Omaha. Thomas Burns, who recently ac-
quired the Colorado Springs franchise, said
| that 1t was impossible to give out the de-
| all probability the plan of President Hickey
| for two circuit would be frustrated, as ac-
| tion could not be taken without unanimous
| consent, which could not be secured The
| Hickey, 1t Is said, is to include Denver,
! Colorado Springs, Omaha, st. Joseph Lin
coin and Sioux City, while the larger league
! would take in Kansas City, Columbus, Mil
| waukee, Toledo and some other larger

McGovern and "Corbett" CONFIDENT.
But two days remain before Terry Nc
| Govern and Young Corbett meet in the ring,
| at Hartford, to settle their question of su-
premacy, and while the little champion
| rules as a fayorite Corbett has many SUM-
porters, and all hands agree that the fight
/ will be a hard one from start to finish
The youngsters will look good deal alike
| in the ring. Corbett has very slight ad-
| vantage in height and is somewhat broader
| across the shoulders than the champion
| And while he says he can hit as hard and
| stand the gaff as well as Terry, he is re-
| garded as having more science.
Corbett is full of confidence and saws he
| will surely win the championship, but docs
| not for a moment lose sight of the fact
| that he is up against the hardest task in
his career.
