The navy team played good. ball ex-
cept for little slowness in getting off
their plays. The line did not charge
with sufficient force, and the backs, as a
rule, got off slowly. The Quakers twice
tried their famous quarterback kick, but
in both instances Smith was too quick
for the opposing ends.
Three minutes after Belknap kicked
off, navy scored their first touchdown
on an exchange of kicks, two furnbles
by the red and blue, a penalty for off
side play and gains by Wilson and Nc
Nair. The latter carried the ball over
the line, but failed to kick the goal. On
the next kickoff Pennsylvania, after a

field and by steady gains through the
line carried it to navy's ten-yard line.

Smith. Belknap attempted to lick on;

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 23.-The Har-
ward varsity squad of coaches was aug
mented yesterday afternoon by ex-Cap-
tain Billy Burden of the 1900 team, Bert
Waters, and Dudley Dean. Burden de-
voted his time to the guards, and put
them through hard practice in offensive
and defensive tactics, while Waters at
tended to the tackles and Dean to the
quarter backs. The varsity men were
given d rest, as the game with West
Point and the long trip taxed their ener-
gies to the utmost. Dan knowlton, who
is considered first choice for right tackle,
was out for the first time in two weeks,
and his work was eminentlys satisfac-
tory. The substitutes lined up against
the scrub. and in the last few minutes
of the second half scored a touchdown.
Beginning today the practice for the
REGULARS will be longer and harder.

ELLISON LIKES HERMIs.
Says That He Is the Greatest Colt in
the World:

New York. Oct. 23.-Charley Ellison, the
horseman, Is willing to bet 5000 on
Herrnis if Louis V. Bells Hernence colt
and DurnellS western champion McChes
ney come together in a match race this
fall. Mr.. Ellison is here from Chicag
with hi- entire stable.
90 not wish to be understood as say
ing that McChesney is not a great colt
he said today. 81 believe him to be first
class in every particular. but from what
l have seen Hermfs do it is my opinion
that Louis V. Bell has the greatest Swear
OLD alive If there is better horse in any
other country he is the greatest 3-year-old
that ever lived. I always. liked Hermis
and predicted last fall when he was an
Indifferent 2-year-old. beating cheap colts
and illies on the western circuit, that he
would improve.
4 backed HerInis In the Travers stakes
at Saratoga the day Mr.. Bell bought him
from Henry Ziegler, and saw him win IN
der about as bad a ride as a colt ever got.
Ny bet was S1.e00 and / got even and Is to
for my money. You may imagine my
feelings when | saw young RICE laying
five or six lengths out of the race a quar-
ter of a mile from the finish. When, in
spite of this bad handling, Hermis ran
around his field in the stretch and won.
1 made up my mind that he was the pest
colt running, and have not seen anything
that would cause me to alter that opin-
ion. I read of his great races at Graves
end and Morris Park during the early
days of the present meeting. and the form
he showed confirmed. the estimate I form
ed of him at Sara toga. do not believe
in 20 years that could have done what
Hermis did in the Mamaroneck Handicap
at Morris Park. If we have, the horse
has escaped notice"

GIANTS IN BAD SHAPE.
McGraw Hasn't the Stars That Were
Claimed.


New York. Oct. 2s.-s'Muggsy' McGraw
is a very much worried man.
John T. Brush, the new owner of the
New York Baseball club, has been ex-
pected to arrive in this city ever since
last Wednesday from his home in. Indian
apolis- Then, may be- the names of New
York's next-year team will be revealed.
Johnny McGraw is still doing his sphinx
act, and no one need expect to hear how
the Giants will lineup in 1868 until John
T. gets here. Even then it is likely that
another excuse will be made for a delay.
There is no explanation of his long alb
sence.
McGraws worrinent is evI47nce enough
that the little manager has not been hav-
ing everything his own way in securing
the American League stars. 1t can be
said too, that he has trouble enough in
signing the star members of the Giants
of the past season.
McGraw has not secured Christy Ma
thewson's signature to a, contract for next
season. Frank Bowerman is another Nc
Graw has not signed. and, even though
'Matty' may make up his mind later on,
it is sure thing Bowerman will not For
1t can be said positively that Bowerman
is signed with the St Louis American
League club for two years at a salary of
So, 80 year. The big catcher, at the time
he signed, received bonus of $500 in cash,
and if details are necessary, the money
was paid in one bill. ~ The team, as semi
officially announced some weeks ago by
one of McGraw's newspaper friends, seems
to be pretty badly shaken to pieces.

Many Of the western men who witnessed
the work, among them VIII Wallace. J. c.
Murphy Harry Rurham. Luther Dickin-
son, J. c. Chinn and others. secuted the
idea. that McChesney could defeat Hernlis
at any distance. At the same time they
argued that if Durne1 and Hertz want q
race very badly they will be accommo-
dated If they come with their colt. If
not at Westchester, then at Aqueduct or
Bennin.
Hermis is now at his best and they
thought that if McChesney is sent here
Louis V. Bell is not likely to refuse to add
the latter's scalp to Hermis well filled
belt Yet it is not very likely that the
match will be made.
