Bankers and Spectators Exercised

NEW YORK, Oct. S-The Evening Post

cussion for time, but ended with de-

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Oct. S.-The Purdue
football team as it played at Crawfords-
Vile, Saturday, was out on Stuart field
yesterday afternoon for practice, showing
no i'll effects. Practice was light. consist
ing only of line bucking, no trick plays
being INDUCED in. Cornell, the only man
injured in Saturdays game, was out in a
suit and did some good work.
A novel condition of affairs confronts the
Purdue coaches. In Mills, Russell, Arnold,
Galbreath. Johnson and Cornell they have
six half backs that to choose between for
place on the varsity eleven would be a
difficult task in Knapp, Todd and Berkey
are three full backs so equal in skill that
TO select one for the varsity would be in
justice to the others. In Mccain, Nc
Mannus and White are found three star
quarter backs, the equal of those of any
school. In Holm, Herkless. Moss and
Leslie are found two sets of ends that are
HAPPY Miller fighting for center, Smith
and Davis struggling for the right tackle
position and Capt. Miller. Rebel and til, the
lnVlncfble Davidson to complete the line
it would seem that Purdue has no call for
other material. That so much material
will come in handy is attested to by the
big hospital list.
Last night Arnold, one of the many half
backs. was out on the field without his
crutCneS ana may soon be BACK In the
game. Berkey, candidate for full back, had
his suit for the first time last night
since his leg went wrong, but he kept out
OF the heavy work. He may be strong
enough TO go in against Chicago next Sat
urday. Johnson, trying for half back, re-
ports his leg as improving. Davis, who
played tackle on the varsity last year, was
at right tackle, and did we'll. Berkshire.
who weighs 16I pounds, was used at center
on the varsity and his work was Of the
star order. Bird, a new man. was out and
he tried in the scrubs. He showed up
surprisingly well and will be cultivated.
Mccain at varsity quarter was the life
his work in that place has never been
equaled at Purdue. Light though he is,
he is the most interested player and the
most effective ground gamer of the whole
team. Moss, the new end, tried out at
Charlottesville, promises to be a star in
the place. Leslie, whose place is at end,
has been forced to play full back so far.
the position he played on the varsity last
year. Meanwhile his place at end is being
held down by Holm, an Indianapolis boy,
who does remarkably well, being con-
sidered better than Spades, whose success
sor he is. HerkleSs on the other end will
not leave school as he intended to do,
awhile back, and he has first call the
position. playing grandly and carefully.
Galbreaths work at half has not been up
to it's usual standard this week, but the
coaches hope to bring him around.
Coaches Ballet and Jamison, while fully
convinced that Chicago cannot win next
Saturday, are not misled by the annual
howl Of Coach Stage.

murder of Roy Wilson White, formerly of
Richmond, Ind The drop fell at 1906 The
men met death bravely and neither made
statements on the gallows. Ivory was
quickly strangled, but the knot slipped on
Perry, and it was some time before life
was extinct. The hanging Of Ivory and
Perry was the first double execution in this
city for twelve years.
Roy Wilson White, a professor in the law
department of the University of Pennsyl-

W0MEN'S GOLF TOURNEY
EIGHTY-ONE FAIR CONTESTANTS
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP HONORS.
Miss GriscOm Unable to Qualify and
Miss HOyt Not in the Race-FOur
Leading Players Tied.

NEW YORK, Oct. Slime weather good
links and surprising reversal of form were
the features in this the opening days play
for the woman's golf championship tourna-
ment of America, which began on the links
of the Baltusrol Golf Club near Short Hill,
n. j. Miss Beatrix Hoyt, who held the
championship from 1896 to 1898 inclusive
was not a contender this year, and the pres
ent champion. Miss Frances T.. Griscom
failed to live up TO her reputation as golf
er, as she was unable to qualify for the
match play rounds, which will occupy the
remainder of the week. Miss Griscom
while playing a dashing game did not ac-
quit herself as we'll as was expected in the
qualifying round of medal play to-day
Sometimes she was short on her drives and
her putting at times was rather faulty.
Altogether her play was not up TO cham
pionship form.
At 10 previous tournament for women's
championship honors was there such a
large field OF contestants, and never before
were the weather conditions so absolutely
perfect. The fair green and putting greens
were i'm excellent condition, and i'm fact.
the Baltusrcl links were in superb shape
for recOrd-breaking performances.
Before the game began there were eighty
five entries, and only three of these failed
TO take part in the contest. Mr.. r. Page
Kerr, the secretary of the National Golf
Association, who was on hand early this
morning was appealed TO by many of the
players in order that he might sanction
the qualification of thirty-two instead OF
sixteen of the highest scorers, but instead
Of allowing thirty-two to qualify. he ar
ranged il so that the first sixteen OF the
highest scorers should continue at match
play for the Cox trophy. the principal prize.
and that the second sixteen should play on
at match play for a consolation cup. The
leaders at the end of the days play were
Mrs. T.. A. Mance, OF Lennox. Mass; Miss
Margaret Curtis. Essex Country Club,
Mass; Miss Lucy Heron. Cincinnati Golf
Club. and Miss Mollie Adams. Wellaston.
Mass, who were tied, with 81 strokes each.
The playing length of the course as
altered to suit the women players is 5.S5C
yards, just 126 yards less than the dis
lance of the regular course. and the fact
that four of the fair contestants nego-
tiated this distance in ninety-seven strokes
speaks highly for the quality OF golf which
the leaders played.
Beginning tomorrow the sixteen who
qualified for the Cox trophy will meet each
other i'm an eighteen-hole match play. The
semi-fnals will be played on Friday and
the final contests will take place on Sa t.
urday.

litically. etc"
commemorative Attorney Franklin ar
gued that the affidavit was not within the
law. lie said the affidavit was mere
recitation of the prisoners conclusions and
opinions over his alleged inability 10 get d
fair trial. T. &. Campbell delivered a bit
ter speech against those who thus reflected
on the court. Judge Cantrill refused 10 va
any action in the case. He refused 10 dis
cnss tho sections OF the affidavit which re-
