LAFAYETTE WON.
Georgetown Played Plucky Game, but
Was Outclassed.

The blue and gray went down to honor
able defeat before the strong Lafayette foot
ball team on the Georgetown gridiron last
Saturday afternoon, the score being % to O.
It was a valiant struggle that the local
boys made, but from the opening of the
game it was seen that they had no chance
Of winning At every stage of the contest,
however, they played with vim and cour-
age. but they were unable to withstand the
rushes and plunges of their heavy oppo-
nents. The line of the visitors was almost
impregnable, and Georgetown made but
very few gains when 1t had the ball
which was not often. On the other hand
the boys from Lafayette seemed to expert
ence but little difficulty in making the re-
quired distance, although Georgetown put
up tenacious defense throughout and
forced its opponents to kick several times
Fully 5000 spectators witnessed the strug-
gle and their enthusiasm ran high, the
local rooters standing by their vanouished
eleven in admirable style. Along the side
lines and at the south end of the field stood
sion was to inspire the boys to their
best efforts. Before the battle began and
during the halves a band marched around
the field. followed by the shouting cohorts
OF the university, and during the progress
of the game stirring airs awoke the echoes
But Notwithstanding the boisterous enthu-
siasm and the ardent sympathy of the
crowd the Georgetown boys could do no
more than they did.
Captain Trout was the stronghold of the
visitors. Whenever gain was wanted at
critical moment he was called upon to
carry the pigskin. and right well did he
respond to the calls. The Lafayette team
frequently used variation of the guards
back play, with Trout as the principal fig
ure. and 1t seemed impossible to stop the
terrific onslaughts Of the splendid forma-
ton. The team work and interference of
the visitors were excellent. There Is no
denying that Lafayette has one of the
strongest teams in the field this season.
Morrison and Hall made several long end
runs, and Launt and Lamson were good
ground gamers, but Trout was the star os
the game.
Captain Kelley of the local team played
good game during the first half, but he
was forced to retire from the field just be-
fore the second half began. Givens. at GEN.
ter, was in the game at every point. The
big fellow made number Of fine tackles
and otherwise assisted materially in keep
ing down the score. Buckley played a
gritty game and deserves great credit for
his pucky work. Armstrong and Hart also
figured substantially in the good work of
the local team.

SIMON LOCKED UP.
Tanked Up and INDUCED in Speech
making on the Street.

Simon Booker, colored democrat of Mont
gomery county, Mo, came to the city Sat
urday with load Of potatoes, which he
disposed Of and during the evening he
subsequently INDUCED in fiery fluid to such
an extent that he became intoxicated and
he then imagined that it was election times
and that it was necessary to make stump
speeches, which ne did ct several places
along 7th street northwest. All went we'll
with Simon until he arrived at the corner
Of 7th and F streets northwest. where he
started in to make speech and was sur
rounded by crowd Of about 200 people
Policeman Nausbaum put in appearance
and called on Simon to desist. The speaker,
however. did not pay any attention to the
officer. and he was given ride In the
patrol wagon to the sixth precinct police
station. where he remained until this morn
ing, when he was sent to the Police Court
Attorney Kicks, counsel for Booker, c.sked
Judge Bundy to be lenient with him, saying
that the democratic party needed his sew
Ices. as election time was drawing near.
Simon ought to hire a hall in which to
deliver his speeches., Judge Bundy re-
marked after hearing the offica.s state
ment. I've let him go on his personal
bonds several times, but he viii have to

TO PLAY SUNDAY BALL.
New York American Team VIII Also
Have Grounds In Jersey.

According to the Chicago Inter Ocean the
new American League team In New York
expects to play Sunday games In New Jer-
sey. A New Yorker visiting in Chicago who
Is said to be IN close touch with the Gotham
scheme is quoted as follows:
1t Is a fact that the American League
intends to place club In New York next
year. and. what Is morey1the men who are
directly Interested in ths scheme expect to
play Sunday ball over In New Jersey. The
plan IN nutshell is, this:o The Baltimore
team, strengthened by the addition Of GER
tam members of the last years Pittsburg
National League team, Isl to be transferred
TO New York Then practical base ban
man, who Is good mixer with the news
paper men. Is to be engaged TO direct the
affairs Of the new organizatfon. No. the
grounds viii not be located In the city
proper for the good ana sufficient reason
proved realty on the island big enough for a
ball park. But there is plenty, Of waste land
up tn the borough of the BRONX. and 1t Is
In that section Of the city that the promo
r rsr s. inquire on placing one Of their ball
But the one attractive. feature Of the
scheme which has been presented to the
men who are expected to finance the club
Is the opportunity OF New York team
PLAYING ;tS CHAMPIONSHIP games on sundays rs
this Sunday feature which makes the
scheme attractive to capitalists, The plan
Is to build park on the Jersey side of the
North river, and options have already been
secured on the grounds both In Hoboken
and Weehawken. No, don't think the
club will have much trouble with the OFF,
GERS OF the law. for you know semi-profss-
sional clubs have for years been playing
Sunday exhibition games with the teams
In the big league and there has been 70
serious protest The fact Is that everything
goes in New Jersey providing the right peo-
position to give you the names OF the men
who are to put up the money. You see. Il
in this way. When Johnson first came east
with his scheme he mixed up with . bunch
OF East Side politicians who were repre-
scented by big Jim Kennedy. Then "a the
deal aged 1t began to look better and better
to certain people iu the American League,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1902-10-27

and these people finally decided to keep the
good thing in the family in the same way
that they handled the Boston and Philadel-
phia angels a couple Of years ago. This is
why Henry Killilea of Milwaukee is now
signing ball players for the New York club,
and also the reason that brought Jim Ken
nedy to Chicago a few days ago. johnson
practically turned Kennedy down at that
conference, and this makes 1t look as
though the Killilea syndicate intended to
finance the club. But it is safe to predict
that the politicians who were first ap-
preached will insist on having a big interest
in the venture. If they are refused a hand
in the game many new obstacles will CON-
front the promoters

APPROACHING AND PUTTING.
Interesting Golf Contest on Columbia
Club Course,

There was an interesting approaching and
putting contest at the Columbia Golf Club
Saturday in which only members of that
organization participated. Twenty players
entered into the sport, and the playing was
very good. The green's are In exceptionally
fine condition, owing to the watchfulness
OF Professional Smith, and the scores hand
ed IN were excellent, no doubt brought
about by the splendid conditions.
Messrs. G. 8. Derrick and T. Lanston were
tied at 0, the best score of the day, and in
the play-of the former won first prize with
a score of IL against the iatter's u.
The scores by holes are as follows:
