Good Football Game.-The game last Sat-
urday between the Towson eleven and the
Park Athletic Club was an exciting one from
start to finish and held the interest of the many
spectators throughout Towson kicked and
made the first down on Parks 30-yard line
(the visitors with the ball) and then before the
local team had quite recovered their breath
made an end play cleared the field by good
interference and by a long run scored touch
down. This, with the goal kick by Courtenay,
was the only brilliant play in the game. The
Toweon, however, Immediately got down in
earnest and by splendid line work and good
team play ploughed through the Parks de-
fence time and time again. 1t seems reason
able to say that had they five minutes longer
they would have assuredly forced the ball back
of the line.
Although a defeat for the local team by 6 to
O, the enthusiasts declare themselves highly
gratifed with the result as the Parks are con-
sidered by many as very strong team while
the home boys have practically never tried
their real strength before.
Each one of the players is to be congratula-
ted upon his nerve and pluck, for while the
Ridgely boys, Stone and Grason made desper-
ate plunges, the other members OF the team
did not fall back in the least.
The field, which is admirably located and
suited for football land which was kindly
loaned by Mr. F. A. Groom for the purpose
has elected some talk of com bining the various
clubs of the town and forming one permanent
athletic club. Although no plans have been
decided upon, the idea seems to have met with
general approval so far, and Towson may pos
sbly be the possessor of such an organization
at an early date.

Price of Milk Advanced in Baltimore
The principal retail milk dealers of Baltimore
have decided to raise the retail price of milk
after November LIST, says the Herald. This, it
is said, is necessitated by the increased price of
feed the advance in price of cattle on the hoof
and the fact that farmers are selling off their
COWS. Besides, the dealers claim to have been
forced to increase the price they pay the
farmers for milk all of which the consumer
will have to make good. The milk sold in
Baltimore ranges from seven to ten cents
quart. Most of that sold is of the eight-cent
grade. This is the vintage that will be in
creased one cent, with others advancing in
proportion. The dairymen held a meeting
and, it is said, decided on the increase. Al
ready one of the largest diaries has sent out
cards announcing the new schedule. Ship
ments of milk to Baltimore have fallen off
recently, and if conditions continue when
cold weather comes, there is said to be grave
danger of milk famine.
