Method of Playing.
 One of the most important football games of the season, locally, will be played at the Driving park tomorrow afternoon when the St Thomas Cadets and the Merrimac teams will meet for the second time this season. The first game was won by the Cadets by a small score after a hard contest. Since then the Merrimac team has been greatly strengthened and that it is one of the best teams in the state was proved last Saturday when they played a tie game with the strong Yannigans of Bridgeport. The Cadets have also been strengthened. Fly land, the strong guard, will be in the game tomorrow and so will Dan Cronin. The game will be commenced about o'clock. The field will pc roped and care will be taken that the spectators do not crowd onto the held. The lineup of the teams will be as fol- lows: St Thomas Cadets. Merrimacs. Riley, P.

 Syracuse, Nov S.-The Syracuse Uni yersity Weekly, student publication, yesterday had strong editorial on tne subject of football and pleads Tor change. It says:4
 "That football is in a crude state must be apparent when a team can be so disposed as to crash into one man, known to be a star player, until he IS battered to pieces and retired from the game. There is about as much science in massed aggressive plays as there is in the pushing of an equal number of bulls with their stout necks and horns against a. Kentucky thor oughbreds The jamSning and br,lis- ing, the breaking of bones and the tearing of Fragments proves nothing but weight and brawn and that is not worth the price of football. Football that kills men or mains them for life and is revolting to cultured people is. no more iustifable than the cruelty of prize fighting, even if it bears col lege name and is played on college grounds. It has been claimed that only those ignorant of the game get hurt. But what of those that do the hurting? A team with record for crippling opposing teams should be left off the record of all colleges

at 6 o'clock Saturday morning
accompanied by Mrs. James
with rather imperfect idea Of
roads and ferries, and before he
reached Spartanburg he had Sc
cured data that would be of
interest to the promoters Of good
roads. Before leaving, Mr. James
had taken eopi0us notes from the
map in the room Of the telegraph
editor. and after that he had been
coached by Mr. S. V. Kendrick,
The Observers machinist, who
came from down about the Ca

the lOcOm 0biliSt TO run through
his baliwick. He represented
PineviIle, Fort Mill, Rock
Hill and YorkviIle to be a
most hospitable country, even
to locomobiles, though such a
thing had never before gOn"
that way. The telegraph editor
mildly suggested that roads in
that section were apt to be hilly
and sticky and that the upper
route through Mount Holly and
Grover, where a sandy ridge
could be followed, would be the
best. Mr.. James selected the
route which the ath.nist rec"m
mended, and at 1 20 O'Clock
Saturday afternoon Mr.. Keudrick
received a telegram from Spar

Jack James has not yet arrived
here. What has become OF HIM p
Mr.. Kendrick did not know
what to say, so no answer was

he showed up for work. Then
he briefly told Of his trip. Leav-

All went well until he got off the

Kendricll. Then his trouble
began. He stuck in one beauti

six negroes TO lift the locomoblle

KILL Ed HIS FRIEND
IN NIGHT TINE
George E. Apperson Shot by
John D. Wilson.
ExoNERATED OF ALL BLAME
The Men Were Best of Friends ano
Lived in the Same House-Wi'son
Shot Under Apprehension That
Other Man Was Burglar
ExONERATED OF ALL BLAME

For killing his best friend, George E.
Apperson. John D. Wilson, foreman for
the Richmond Telephone Company. was
this morning arraigned in the Police Court
before Squire Lcnnie Graves. He was
fully exonerated of all blame in the court.
The coroner already having rendered a
similar verdict.
The tragedy for which Wilson was this
morning compelled to face Judge Graves
occurred early Sunday morning at his
residence. No s12 North Twenty-siNth
Street, and was the result of Wilson mis-
taking Apperson, who lived In the same
house with him. for burglar.
Aprerson and Wilson have lived In the
same house for number of years. the
forncer occupying the ground floor and the
latter the second story They married
cousins and were on the most intimate
TENS Appersor working under and
aIcnsnide Of Wilson.
Wilson went home late Saturday night
and Just before ne stepped into his front
ward gate he saw a dark object duck
irtt. the back lot through hole in the
fence. suspecting burglar was making
an attempt to rob the house. Wilson went
to his room up stairs and secured his
pistol thirty-two calibre liver Johnson
He stepped on the back veranGah and
from. there observed a man moving about
the back yard.
LOADED UP AGAIN.
Feeling sure that the man was bur-
glar. Wilson opened fire. dischargtrg ever
cartridge in the gun. He then went back
to his room reloaded every chamber in
the pistol and started down stairs to see
If the burglar was still about the place.
Apperson usually slept in a front room
on the ground floor, but his wife being
away he had moved his resting place to
a room in the rear. AS Wilson passed
through the room in which he quite nat
urally- thought Appersou was asleep he
called him several times to come on and
join him in the investigation.
When he entered the rear room Wilson
saw some one arise as If from tho corner
and advance towards him. and thinking g
that the supposed burglar had gained ac-
cess to the house, he opened fire The
man fell without ever having spoken.
IN POOL OF BLOOD.
\ light was secured. and there in a pool
of his own blood Wilson discovered the
rcdy OF his best friend. Apperson. with
life rapidly growing extinct.
:. physician was hastily summoned and
did everything In his power to save .le
man. but it was no use. the bullet having
entered the right temple.
Later q policeman was summoned and
Wilson surrendered himself, being taken
to the First Police Station. from which
place he was bailed Sunday by Presf
dent Maupin. OF the Richmond Telephone
Company. the bond being fixed at 500 by
Judge Witt.
At the hearing before Squire Graves
this morning many witnesses were ex-
arnined. all Of whom corroborated the
statement OF Wilson. who appeared grief
stricken at the untimely death of his
friend.

HECTOR PURYEAR ARRESTED

What is believed to be the last of all
the big places conducted as gambling
houses in this city was raided yester-
day afternoon by Policeman Wyatt and
two other men from the Second Police
Precinct. This was the alleged place OF
Hector Puryear, No. sn East Broad
Street.
Pulvear was placed under arrest, much
to his surprise. On the night before the
alleges Press Nuckols place at No. 1883
East Franklin Street, was raided. and
between these two places some s3.cNo
worth Of gambling paraphernalia was
captured. The Nuckols place. was the
richest haul of the crusade
This place alleged to have been con-
Quoted by Nuckols. is the place where.
it is said more money has been won and
lost than any other place In the city
Here it was that the members of the
Legislature and Of the Constitutional
Conventional were wont to go ana
gamble. Roulette. faro, craps, poker,
hazard, bagtelle, they were all there on
the top floor. This raid was made by
men of the First Precinct without the
knowledge OF Policeman Wyatt.
WAITS POWERS.
Incidentally new alarm has seized
the gamblers. It has been said to them
that some one who was directly concerned
with the gambling situation in this city
is furnishing the information on which
Policeman Wyatt is acting. If this be
true, they would lye to know who the
man is. and what is his hope of reward.
They figure that if this is not true. then
Mr. Wyatt must be gifted with super.
natural detective powers, because the
raid of yesterday practically completes
thesseizure of al the paraphernala of the
big places.
Another item which interested the gam
blers yesterday was statement that It
is hardly possible that Justice Crutchfield
will be able to return to the bench in
time to hear the gambling cases. They
were purposely postponed until such time,
as it was thought probable that he would
have returned. but it is stated that his
condition is such now that it may be
two months or so before he resumes his
duty.
Certain 1T is that Policeman Wyatt is
not disturbed He has about finished
his raids now. and is engaged in round
, ing up his last batch of evidence. He is
still on special duty. and it may be a
week or so before he returns to patr2l
duty. Thus far he and the other police
of the city have seized some $1,000 worth
of gambling paraphernalia, which will go
up in flames after the hearing. and this
harvest he feels. is worth while.
Yesterday. before the arrest OF Puryear,
he was on the top floor of the building
at No. S11 East Broad Street. helping Mr..
WTatt drag out the roulette. crap and
faro layou:s. and said that Mr.. Wyatt
was perfectly welcome to the stuff. rs
