MILK BOTTLE AS A WEAPON.
How an Eight -Year-Old vanquished
Cougar With It.

Four children of Mr. Rodenberg,
whose, home is at Big skookum. go to
school at a public school house a long
way off. One Wednesday during the
last of June these children, being on the
road homeward, were struggling along
at some distance from one another, when
cougar sprang out of an ambush aud
seized the little boy who brought up
the rear. This little fellow was the
youngest of the party, being only six
years old, and least likely to resist the
beast. as that watchful creature seems
to have known when it saw the school
children going by, single file.
The cougar seized the lad by the head
and sat upon him. snarling at the other
boy of the PARTY, an eight-year-old
youngster, who came running with might
and main to save his brother. The
brave boy had in his right hand a milk
bottle of heavy glass. He took hold of
one of the cougars ears, and with the
bottle began to beat the snarling beast
over the head. At the third or fourth
blow, the bottle broke and hundred
fragments of glass were scattered about.
1t is possible that some of the frag-
ments entered the cougars blazing eyes,
for as soon as the bottle broke he let
20 his hold and ran off, plunging into
the bushes, from which he did not again
emerge.
Meanwhile. the unhurt children took
the wounded boy into a neighboring
farmhouse The wounds were all flesh
wounds, and when they had been dress
ed the little fellow grew quite animated
in his account of the adventure.-Seattle

GEORGETOWN FOOTBALL
TEAM LOSES MORGAN
Fullback, Fearing Injury, Re-
signs From Squad.

The varsity squad at Georgetown suf.
fered severe loss yesterday when Full
back Morgan announced his purpose OF
retiring from the game. Fear of injur-
ing his chances of playing baseball nexI
season was the reason given.
Morgan was the years find. Upon the
first call for candidates this fall he went
out and at once made good in a position
behind the line. Coach Suter started
him punting, in which he developed such
ability that he was soon assigned to
fullback. Here he has played remarka-
BILE ball He has proven hard one to
tackle and hits the line with force. He
is also speedy.
His place on the football eleven can be
more easily filled than on the baseball
team. In Saturdays game he twisted his
left ankle, not enough to warrant his
quitting, but quite enough to make him
think of next spring.
Carroll. a youngster from the crack
Haverhill (Mass.) High School team of
last season, is the most likely candi-
date for Morgan's place. While he is
not the strong punter that Morgan was,
Carroll has shown considerable ability
He gets the BALI away fast. uses his left
foot in kicking and punts high. giving
his ends time in which to get we'll down
the field. Graham is another candidate,
but he is hardly heavy enough.
Yesterday afternoons practice was a
stiff proposition. and the men were sent
through formation and signal work and
then lined up against the scrub. Arm
strong, the big tackle from the law
school, who went out Tuesday for the
first time, suffered a broken nose as a
result of one of the hard scrimmages.
He will be out of the game for couple
of weeks. The feature Of the day was
Hart's run of eighty yards on an end
play. and Hardesty's brilliant tackle on
the same play. bringing the fleet foot Al
halfback to the ground from a rear div
ing tackle within five yards of the scrub
goal line.
Two more new men came out yesterday
In Brickley, who was tried out on the
scrubs end, and Collins, who worked be-
hind the line. Both showed up well.
That the very strictest discipline is to
be maintained was demonstrated when
the men went to the gymnasium to
dress. Morris. who has been playing
brilliantly. was instructed by the coach
not to dress for practice, and that his
services would be dispensed with. His
offense was smoking.

BERNSTEIN SURPRISES
CHAMPION C0RBET1
In Lead When He Injured
Hand and Quit.

| BALTIMORE, Oct. 16.-The fight be-
tween Young Corbett and Joe Bernstein
the Ghetto champion, at Music Hall to-
night, resulted in victory for Corbett
in the eighth round, Bernstein claiming
| that he had SO injured his right hand
that he could not continue.
Up to that time Corbett did not have
any the better of 1t. and it was the gen.
eral verdict that Bernstein could easily
have gone the limit Of twenty rounds.
| The crowd was not much taken with
Corbett's showing. He was too slow and
not in 1t with Bernstein, who landed
quite frequently. The New Yorker be-
gan rushing from the start, and in the
second and third rounds hammered Cor
bett about the face until it was cut and
bleeding. He now and then got in a
good stiff punch on the body.
Corbett, on the other hand, could not
reach the physiognomy of his antagonist.
He planted some heavy blows on the
body, but they did not affect Bernstein
much. In the fifth round Bernstein was
worrying along in great shape, and had
the fight then ended would surely have
gotten the decision on points.
In the sixth Corbett began to put more
life in his work, and the seventh round
ended in general mix-up. When this
ended, and while the men were resting,
Bernstein suddenly arose and announced
that he had broken his hand and was not
fit to continue, but II the audience de-
sired he would go the limit. He was ad-
vised to quit. Harry Pollock. Of New
York, was the referee.
