EASY FOR COLUMBIA.
Fordham Outplayed at Every Point
and SHOWED Under.

The opening foot ball game at the Polo
grounds. New York, yesterday was between
the Columbia University and the Fordham
College teams, Columbia winning easily
The Columbia men had everything their
own way except in the last few minutes of
the second half, when Fordham made a
plucky stand and kept Captain Weekes and
his men busy for few seconds. On trick

carry the ball over the Columbia line for an
apparent touchdown, but the play was not
allowed, the officials ruling that the ball
was not in play at the time. There was
wrangie and some smuggling. and Thorpe was
sent to the side lines with bruised face
and ruffled pride.
Coiumbia's line held we'll throughout, and
her speedy backs had little trouble In get
ting through. Captain Weekes and Smith
were the principal ground gamers, and
made successful plunges at almost every
attempt: Columbia scored % points In the
FIRST half. and made enough In the second
to bring the total to 45 to o. The Fordham

SETBACK FOR PENNsY.
Haverford Scored on the Quakers
Through Weak Tackles.

Pennsylvania foot ball eleven received
the first setback Of the season on the home
grounds yesterday when Haverford scored,
held the total down to - points, and finally
outplayed Pennsylvania in the second half.
The score of IS to 5 is really closer than 1t
indicates, for two Of Pennsylvania touch
downs were made on long runs. Hayerford
scored near the middle of the second half
by pretty field goal from the 25-yard line,
Drinker, the left end, kicking.
The most striking feature of the game
was the way Pennsylvania played all
around Haverford at the start and grew
weak toward the end. Twelve points were
rolled up In the first half, the first of the
two scores being made by clever lire plung
Ing while the second was the result Of
there was nothing doing for the Quakers.
Haverford kept the ball In her opponents
territory. and on the second time she was
over the crossbar. Only in the last two
minutes of play did Pennsylvania wake up.
Gardiner, who had been out of the game,
came in at half and ripped through Haver-
fords line and around her ends. scoring on
a fifty-yard run. Time was called as he
was down behind the goal line.
Pennsylvania played many substitutes
Richardson, her star end, did not go in
Bennett was tried for the first time at half
back Haverford made all her gains
through Pennsylvania weak spot, tackle
and frequently sent her fullback, Lowry,
through for five and ten yards at a time.

CLOSE CALL FOR CRIMSON.
Harvard Able to Score Only Once
Against Amherst

The Amherst foot ball team, which was
defeated % to 0 by Yale, held Harvard
down to six points at Cambridge yesterday
afternoon, and much of the time outplayed
the Crimson eleven. In the middle of the
second half Harvard pushed the ball to
Amherst's eight-yard line, where Lindsay
was sent through for the only touchdown of
the game. Barnard kicked an easy goal
Twice Harvard was within scoring distance,
but a tumble or the fine defence of Am
herst prevented touchdown. The interfer-
ence of the Crimson team was poorly
formed, while the backs started very slow
ly and failed to take advantage OF the holes
Amherst played a snappy game, forcing
Harvard to kick number of times. and,
though not getting within the Crimson
twenty-fve-yard line, kept Harvard con-
tinually on the jump.
The game opened fayorably for Amherst.
After the kickoff Washburn gained twenty
six yards around Jones end and. aided by
two center plays. brought the ball to Har
wards forty-yard line. After another gain
of eight yards a tumble gave the ball to
Harvard. Amherst was steadily pushed
back to her fifteen-yard line but a tumble
by Tenney gave the ball to Amherst Am
herst, though could not gain. Then Mar
shall tried a goal from the field from Am
herst's twenty-yard line being directly in
front of the goal posts. The ball went wide
and the half ended with the ball in Har-
wards possession. on her own forty-yard
line.
In the middle of the second half Lindsay
took the ball through Amherst's right tackle
eight yards for a touchdown. Barnard
kicked the goal. From this point Harvard
played much stronger foot ball but was
only able to get to Amhersts three-yard
line when time was called.

Yale won from the strong Wesleyan team
by 30 to 0 yesterday afternoon at New
Haven putting up a furious and effective
game in the first half, and then, when full
second team took the field, about dividing
honors In the second half. Wesleyan could
not hold the regular varsity at all, but
was able, through momentary weakness of
Hamlin. to make the only first down scored
against Yale this season. The visitors did
not do the trick again. however, but were
thrown back for heavy losses every time
they had the ball.
Yale ploughed up the Wesleyan line at
will. making long end runs. good gains
through tackle and heavy center PUSHES.
Twice Yale kicked to give the ends practice,
but each time 1t was either Goss or Glass
who nailed the Wesleyan player. Coffin
put up fair end game for Yale but Neal
was not in evidence. once letting an at
tack get past him. Goss and Glass took the
honors on line work with Holt. while Ward,
Chadwick and Farmer made the best gains
for the back field. Farmer was tried at
fullback for the first time, making a bet
ter impression than any man who has thus
far come out for the position, hitting the
line hard and backing up his fellows in
effective shape. Shevlin and Ward both
got in long runs, while Metcalf and Wins
low got back the ball on kickoffs for long
gains.
The kickoff gave Metca1f a short gain,
and then Chadwick and Ward plunged
through the line and around the ends. Far
mer made the first touchdown in four min
utes. On the next kickoff Chadwick got
in an end run and then Ward made phe-
nomenal tackle plunge, and with clear
field made touchdown. Metcalf Wriggled
through the field for ninety yards on the
next play. but was called back by the UNI
pire for offside work by the line. In this
play Neal. the Yale left end, was hurt. The
half ended with the score % to IL Yales
favor.
In the second half Captain Chadwick put
in full new team, and a result Wesley
an held it's own and even pushed Yale at
times. Wards fine run of over one hundred
yards after getting through a hole at tackle
was the feature of this half and the game.
The last touchdown was made by Shevlin
after a series of fine end runs by him on
tackle back formations.

WHO ARE THE LAWBREAKERsp
Are the Coal Mines Operated in Viola
ton of Lawp

From the Springfield Republican.
1t cannot have escaped notice that the
men summoned to Washington by the Pres
1dent to represent the coal mine propertjes
In the conference were all railroad officials
with one exception. But the subject under
discussion was the mining and not the car
rage Of coal. The coal roads are oil omen
ana IN operation. Only the coal mines are
closed. and to open the mines--to mine coal
such was the burden of the conference
and the object of the Presidents efforts.
These railroad companies are Psnnsyl-
wanna corporations, and the constitution of
Pennsylvania provides
No incorporated company doing the busi-
ness OF common carrier shall directly or
indirectly, prosecute or engage in mining or
manufacturing articles for transportation
over its roads.
But mining coal indirectly through sub
sidiary companies is just what all these
corporations are engaged in; and as miners
OF coal alone were they represented in the
Washington conference, and as miners of
coal alone were they addressed by the
PRESIDENT of the United States.
The coal road presidents rest their whole
case In the present controversy on the
question OF law and order. Their appeal is
TO the law and for Its enforcement as
against the strikers. But they plainly come
into court with unclean hands They are
trampling upon the law themselves even
wnile appealing to law for protection in
violating law. The law breakers among or
In behalf of the strikers are called anarcfl-
lists by the railroad presidents. and the
president of the mine workers union is
called chief of anarchists. BY the same
standard of judgment these coal presidents
are anarchists, and Of the two they are the
more dangerous by as much; as they are
the more influential and powerful In the
state and In society. 1t is hardly for them
to preach law and order to others, least
of all in loud and disrespectfui tone to
the President of the United States.

SOFT COAL AND FIRES.
Watch the Flues While Burning
Bituminous Fuel.

From the New York Tribune.
1t is announced that arrangements are
being made for the prompt shipment to this
city of an abundant supply Of bituminous
coal. Such action Is doubtless possible.
since there are enormous stocks of such
coal on hand and multitudes of cars and
locomotives standing idle. If these latter
are set to work promptly in transporting
the former to this market large measure
Of the threatened distress may be averted.
Objectionable soft coal is in some re-
spects. 1t Is certainly better than no fuel at
ALL and the temporary and Judfctous use
of it in the present emergency may greatly
relieve public distress. Obviously. too,
some of its evils will be far less in cold
weather. with windows closed. than In sum-
mer, with smoke and SCOT carried into every
house and room.
At the same time it is well to recognize
fully in advance the grave peril of fire to
which the city will be subjected, or would
be subjected, through general and indis-
criminate use Of soft coal. Chimneys de-
signed for anthracite fires, as practically
all here. are not well suited to soft
coal. The fiues are too narrow and will
soon get clogged with SCOT. To clean them
out every week or two would be difficult
IL not an impossible task. Yet II they are
not cleaned there Will not be sufficient
draft In addition, there will be grave
danger of the SCOT in the chimney itself
catching fire, and chimney afire is net
always a trifiing matter. II the chimney
is well built the fire may burn itself out
without doing harm. But large proper
ton Of chimneys are not well built. They
have crevices between the bricks, through
which smoke and sparks and fame may
escape and get under the floors or between
the walls, and In some cases the timber
construction Of the house enters into tire
chimney and into the very fiue. So long as
anthracite coal Is used there are no sparks
nor flame In the chimney. and no harm is
caused; but soft coal would soon line the
fue with a thick layer of carbon and when
this caught 0re and became raging fur

THE GREAT COAL STRIKE.
Conditions Before It Started and De-
mands Now Made by Miners.

From the New York Tribune.
The miners work-He drilled the hole In
the coal seam, inserted the powder, fired the
blast which knocks down the coal. then
rested while his helper-the laborer hired
by him, not by the mine operator-loaded
the coal into the car.
The miners hours-In four to six hours he
easily knocks down all the coal his helper
could pick up in eight or ten hours. He
could keep two laborers going constantly IL
he liked, but the union frowns on this.
The miners pay-He was paid by the car,
averaging about 81 car The usual day s
work was six cars. Out of sthe So day,
gross earnings, he paid his helper 81, and
also paid for his powder, fuses. wicks. etc.
His net profits ranged from $50 to 800 a
month; and he could make twice as much
by keeping two laborers busy instead of
one. - ;t
The laborer's lot-He did the hard work of
lifting the coal and loading 1t int cars He
was the employe of the miner, mot of the
mine operator or owner. He got only 81 to
the miners 81. He had to work two years
in the mines as a iaborer and pass an ex-
animation before he could get a miners Ii
cense. He was preparing to make united
demand upon the miner for more equita-
BILE share of the profits, when the miners
precipitated this strike
Engineers pay-He got from $50 to $50 a
month for long hours but light work
Breaker boys work-He picked out the
impurities from the coal when it was broken
up, and got 70 cents a day.
The strikers demands-An Increase of 20
per cent to miners paid by the carload or
ton. A reduction of 70 per cent in the time
of men paid by the day, such as engineers,
pumpmen, breaker boys, etc.,-meaning an
eight eight hour workday. That 2,24o pounds
