DROPPED DEAD AT FOOT BALL.
Sad Termination of a Game at Annap.
oils Yesterday.

dispatch from Annapolis. Nd last
night says: During the progress of the
foot ball game here this afternoon between
the midshipmen and the Baltimore Medical
College Robert e. Levin, player on the
latter team, and whose home was in Plain
field N. H.. fell dead.
The accident took place toward the close
of what would have been the first half of
the game, but the contest was terminated
by order of the superintendent as soon as
the seriousness of the affair became known
The dead youth received no injuries of
any kind that could be- disclosed by the
most careful examination. He did not fall
in rush lie on the ground after
tackle, as if suffering from any injury, but
on the contrary had after a play, lined up
with the others for the scrimmage. Before
another play had started suddenly young
Levin asked the referee to call time and
dropped to the ground. AS far as could be
noticed he never moved again or gave any
sign of life.
The game between the two teams this af-
ternOon unusually spirited but entirely
devoid of any foul playing unnecessary
roughnesS. The utmost good feeling had
been displayed throughout the game by
the players. No possible blame is attached
to any one. The attending physicians agree
that the heart trouble was simply brought
on by the exertion of the game, as it might
have been by running or any other form of
athletics. -'s-
This is the first fatality that has taken
place at the Naval Academy in connection
with athletics. nor has there ever been an
accident from which there were any serious
permanent effects. Young Aiken of Lou
isiana. the midshipman who geceived con-
cusSion of the brain during game last
year, was by far the most serious previous
case but he is now entirely recovered
Neither team had scored when the contest
was stopped today.

ToN1aHTs WRESTLING TOURNEY.
Joe Grant in Fine Shape for His Bat
tie With Haines.

Manager Weiss and his string of wres-
tiers, Joe Grant and Shad Link, reached
Washington this morning, the mat artists
being in fine shape for the big event at Odd
Fellows Hall this evening. Robert Hanes
reached Washington last evening, and he
too is in the pink of condition. Grant and
Haines come together in finish bout for
a large purse, their battle being the feature
of the evenings program. A couple dozen
of Grants Baltimore friends will reach the
city this evening in time for the match.
The clever Washington boy has made many
friends in the oyster city and everybody is
confident he will be able to defeat Haines.
After considerable huStling Manager
Weiss has been able to secure a good man
to go against Shad Link In Sam Saunders
of this city. Link will have to place Saun-
ders' shoulders on the mat twice inside of
an hour or the latter will get the money.
Another good preliminary match should
be the one between Billy Reagan of the In
dependent Athletic Club and Steve Cassassa
of the Newsboys' Gymnasium These boys
will contest for the gold medal hung up by
Manager Weiss, and considerable interest
has been aroused over the event.
The referee for the big event had not been
selected up to noon. as Hanes is particular
about getting competent man for the
position. but a final selection will be made
at O'Clock, when the principals get to-
gether for the weighing-in process.

BRIGHTON RACES.
Divination, at 10 to 1, Captured Mer-

vailed the horses ran remarkably close to

JEFFRIES NETTLED.
Refuses to Meet Fitzsimmons and May
Go to South Africa.

James J. Jeffries and Robert Fitzsimmons
were both in Chicago the other day, but by
careful planning on the part of the cham
pion they did not see each other. Fitz was
on his way from New York to San Fran
cisco. and Jim was on his way from San
Francisco to New York. When Fitz ar
rived in the city he decided to pay his re-
spects to James. who was then lounging in
his private car in the yards of the North
western railroad. Robert called and sent
his card to James by colored porter. The
word that came back was not cheerful

who heard of the incident
Jeffries is due in New York today, and
unless he gets on a match at once 1t is
said he will sail for South Africa. In a re-
cent interview the champion said:
There no men for me to fight in
America except negroes and L don't intend

Bell Saved Callahan,

William Rothwell Young CorbetD came
within an ace of accomplishing what hun
dreds of boxers have failed to do-deci-
sively beat Tim Callahan, the Pennsylva-
MIA state champion in a sx-round boxing
contest. The local featherweight was stag
gered by the vicious left and right hand
swings which landed on his body and jaw
in the sixth round OF the bout last night at
the National Athletic Club Philadelphia
and it was only by the cleverest general
ship that he was on his feet at the end of
the contest.
The crowd. which more than half filled
Tuxedo Hail. yelled itself hoarse when CAL
lahan jabbed the champion with well-timed
left hand leads and counters. Corbett was
not to be denied, however, and frequently
shook his opponent up with left hand hooks
on the jaw and right-hand leads for the
body.
Callahan fought back as long as nature
responded, and held the bout to a draw
until the last round when Corbett rushed In
wildly determined to break Callahans un-
sullied record. He nearly accomplished the
trick, and failure can only be attributed to
his over Jealous efforts. Both men were
tired at the finish and the bell was a well
come sound.

endeavored to prove by the witness that
during the negotiations for the purchase of
the constituent plants no one looked after
the interests of the shipbuilding companies,
but that the figures and reports of John w.
Young, the promoter were accepted. Mr..
Nixon said that no independent appraise-
ment or investigation had been made and
disclaimed all personal responsibility for
the negOtia tiOnS and financial part of the
combination plan.
1t was brought out in the testimony of
Mr.. Nixon that misleading statements as to
the personnel Of the directorate had been
made in the prospectus issued in June, 1902
and that Young had taken the options in
his name. According to Mr.. Nixon secrecy
was observed in paying the venders only
because Promoter Young did not want them
to know what was being paid for each
plant. There has been much mystery over
the cutting of the checks given to the vend-
ers. and ii is possible that the explanation
OF Mr.. Nixon will clear it away.
Charles Canda was the only other witness
OF the day, taking the stand before Nixon
was called He testified that the Canda
Manufacturing Company for which 81, 900 900

This means rebuilding of the line, and the
situation. with the West Point game but a

The general opinion seems to be that the
injury to Bloomer means that Shevln will
have to play tackle to allow Kinney to take
