CHICAGO'S ELEVEN
 MEETS A DEFEAT
MlCHlGAN'S HEAVY BUSHES TOO MUCH FOR THE PORK PACKERS, AND THEY GO DOWN IN A BIG SNOW STORM.

Chicago, November 26--While Coach closed carriage at Marshalheld today, players overwhelmed Chicago in the an- nual Thanksgiving day contest by the score of 2S to o. All records for attend ance were broken, fully 10000 spectators braving a heavy snowfall to see the game.
 Considerable delay was experienced in starting the game, due to the labor of sweeping the snow off the gridiron The Chicago eleven had a decided handicap in the plness of Coach stagg. A fever that gave his physician considerable alarm put Stagg under orders to remain indoors. The usual ginger of the Chicago eleven was missing. Michigan scored her first touchdown in twelve minutes of play by smashing Hester and Longman against the yielding Chicago line. and using big Joe Maddock, the sturdy right tackle, for first downs, when few yards were needed
 The left side of Chicago was particular ly weak and Speik, Parry and Wightman were swept aside by the rushes of Hester and Grayer. Five times did Eckerstail only stand between Heston and the goal after Michigans wonderful ground gainer had crushed aside the left end. So des- perate was Eckerstall's tackling that he had to retire in the second half.
 Holding Michigan only once for downs in the first half and having the ball in her possession only three times, Chicago dis played football strength no higher than .I. l. practice. This game removed Chicago from the front row of western claimants for the championship. It was Chicago s first defeat by a western team.

 For the Georgia men the work of Wood ruff and Killerin excelled that of the other players. Woodruff made a sensa- tional run for 1O7 yards for a touchdown, while Killerin was in every play and the Georgia victory was greatly due to his swift and aggressive work. Time after time when Georgia needed gain she called upon her big full back for hurdle and every time the necessary distance was made.
 In the last half the Auburn men per ceptibly weakened and Georgia backs went through the line and around ends CTS did their best and did not stop play CTS did their best and i'd not stop playing until the game was called on account Of darkness.

near the center of the field the whistle sounded and the first half was over.
 Second Half.
 In the second half neither side scored, though at one time Alabama had the ball within q half yard of Tennessee's goal. Here Tennessee made a brilians stand and fought the Alabamians to stand still for three successive downs. Ala bama failed to gain and the ball went over to Tennessee while it lay within a few inches of her goal line.
 The mountaineers seemed to be imbued with new life and tore through the lines of the Crimson and White like desperate men driven to a corner. Try as they would the Alabama boys could not with stand the onslaught, and by slow degees the Tennesseans carried the ball down the field. Parker Richardson and Gud- ger did some magnificent work, and to their efforts alone is due this heroic rally.
 With the ball in five yards of the Ala bama goal, and three-quarters of a min- ute to play a desperate struggle ensued. The Alabamians fought like lions at bay and when the whistle sounded the ball was still two yards from their goal line.

Bleachers Fall at Racine Auditorium and
Many Spectators are Injured.
A panic was caused among the 1000
people who we're at the Lakeside au-
ditorium in Racine Monday night to
witness the polo game between the
Horlicks and the Richmond team.
A bleacher which was crowded with
men gave way, and they were thrown
to the floor among broken timbers and
planks. The crash alarmed the people
throughout the building, and many
made rush for the doors. The men
who had been carried down by the
bleachers cried for aid, and it was be-
lieved that many were fatally injured.
An alarm was sent to the police sta
ton and officers and the ambulance ar
rived. Many men we're cut and
bruised, while Jorgen Winterbergeu
had his left wrist broken, head cut,
and it is feared that he is internally
injured. He and another man, who is
unknown, and who was unconscious
when picked up, we're removed to ST.

William Smith, Tramp, Breaks q
Window in First National Bank
to Get Into the Jail.
QUEER ACT OF A WANDERER
Report That Attempt Had Reen Made to
Rob the Bank Causes Excitement but
Smith Coolly Awaits the Police.

Because he wanted to get into Jail
and had not been able to arouse the
sheriff William Smith, tramp claim
ing Chicago as his home, deliberately
broke one of the big plate glass win
dows in the door of the First National
Bank Saturday night and waited for a
police officer to place him under arrest
This pleasant duty was attended to by
Police Officer Pabst, and Smith was
taken to Jail to await hearing on a
charge of malicious mischief.
Smith is ffty-fve years of age and
he tramped into the city Saturday
afternoon. He walked about the city
all evening and about eleven O'Clock
he met Police Officer Smith and asked
for q place to sleep. AS is the custom
the officer sent the man to the county
jail and when Smith reached the
county hospital he found that the doors
had been locked and his frantic calls
for entrance failed to enlist the sym
pathy of the sheriff and his assistants.
The man became Disguised and
tramped back down town declaring
that he would show the people how to
get into the Jail. When he reached
the First National Bank corner he saw
couple of men standing by the door,
and going out into the street he picked
up a paving brick and deliberately
stood in front of the door and hurled
the brick through the plate glass. He
walked out to the curb and putting his
hands in his pockets he turned to the
astonished onlookers and declared:
"Well, I'll just wait and l guess a cop
will come around after while and take
me in.'
The breaking of the glass at once
caused excitement and the word
travelled up the street that an effort
was being made to rob the bank and
the police came from all directions and
in short time Smith had been sliced
by Police Officer Pabst and was being
dragged off to Jail. He went right
along telling the officer as he went of
his intentions. AS soon as the jail
was reached Smith was happy and he
crawled into bunk seeming to care
little for the damage he had done. He
explained to the sheriff and the other
officers that he had to have place to
sleep and that it was necessary to
adopt heroic measures.
This is the first case of man break
ing into jail in this fashion ever known
in Kenosha. The window which was
broken was worth about thirty-five
dollars.
Some Of the officers in attempting
to find some new punishment which
would meet the demands of the case,
suggested that Smith be put to shovel
ing snow off the streets, but he was
taken in hand by the police this morn
ing and escorted to the city limits in
not too gentle a manner.

SERIOUS CHARGE.

Mrs. Mary Blum and Alexander Fuhrer
Arrested at House on Church Street.
At 8 O'Clock Monday night Officers
O'Hare and Pabst went to the home of
Alexander Fuhrer on Church street,
opposite the 'Long Home" and ar
rested Fuhrer and Mrs. Mary Blum
on serious charge. Fuhrer was taken
to the county Jail but the woman was
allowed to go home to her husband
and children. The charges are of the
most sensational nature and unfit for
publication.
Mrs. Blum is married and has hus-
band and four children. She disap-
peared from home eight days ago and
since that time no trace of her had
been found until the officers discovered
her at the house with Fuhrer.
At the time the officers entered the
house the woman and man was sit
ting about the stove imbibing a
lean" of beer. They made no effort
to resist arrest and Fuhrer was taken
to Jail by Officer O'Hare. The woman
went at once to her home on Union
street and is to appear in the justice
court this evening to answer the
charges against her.
Mrs. Blum has been connected with
similar charges in the last few years.
and young man who was arrested
with her on former occasion is now
serving term in the reforma tory at
Green Bay. Every effort will be made
to have the woman as well as the man
receive the full punishment of the law
provided for such cases.
