WEST POINT A WINNER.
Army Defeated Annapolis by a Score
of II to O..

Philadelphia. Pa, Nov. 2S.-West Point
defeated the Annapolis foot ball eleven by
the score of II to O-two touchdowns and
one goal The score does not properly in
elevens, for probably not IN the history of
the great university game have two teams
The first touchdown for the army was
the result of a tumble by one of the navy
backs, but the brilliancy with which Tip
ton, the armys center, took advantage of
the error has never been excelled,if equal
ed, on foot bali gridiron. The game had
been in progress less than ten minutes;
the navy had shown unexpected strength
ed offense had crumbled to naught With
the ball in midfeld, Smith for the navy
failed, and Howard kicked to the army $
S5-yard line. West Point found the navy
line a Gibraltar and Torney kicked to
There We're three Annapolis men under
the punt. but when all had been thrown
of players. Upton, coming on from be-
hind with muscle and brain both in good
working condition, kicked the ball toward
the navy's goal. Pursued by half a dozen
cure the sphere. but, rushing on, he again
dribbled it. His aim was accurate and the
ball was driven nearer the navys goal
When within 10 yards of the coveted line
army was inevitable. AS he drew near to
the goal he began to loosen his burden
some headgear and the nose guard that
he might be enabled to locate the ball
with more accuracy. A third kick and the
DlSSk1n
ton lying upon it. Such elaboration and
rare Judgment in a moment so trying was
truly remarkable. 1t was probably the
turning point for victory for West Point.
Up to this time the Annapolis boys had
really outplayed their heavier opponents
and the exchange of puntS, aided by
a stiff wind, had gradually forced West
Point nearer her own goal line.
This touchdown gave West Point the adj
vantage Of the wind and was doubtless
mainly responsible for the victory of the
army over the navy. Doe missed the goal
and the score stood to in favor of the
army.
Probably never in the memory of the
Oldest football enthusiast has a more bit
ter defense been witnessed than that put
up by the navy during the next 20 minutes
of play. On an exchange of punts the
army secured the ball on the navys 80
yard line. From this point it required q
minutes for the army TO force the ball to
the navy's goal, and this with a gift of
yards for off-side. During this time it
the distance five times in order to ascer-
tain if the holder of the ball had secured
first down.
Only once during the game was the
arTny's goal threatened. A few minutes
before the close of the game the navy, by
brilliant line bucking by Doherty and
Gormley, the latter having taken Smiths
position at fUliback, carried the ball from
their own 3S-yard line to within 20 yards
of West Points goal, where it was lost on
downs In this half the advantage, if
there really was any, favored the navy.
The ideal weather was incentive for
those who cared to view the contest, and
it is estimated that there were over $4,000
persons present.

CORBETT PUTS OUT AMATEUR.
Latter Had Endeavored to Put the
Denverite Away-Made a Mistake.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. Is
day. and, although the beaten man
was an amateur, it did the hearts of
Iookers-on good to see the little fellow
drop him.
Frank George was his name, and
he weighed at least $50 pounds He
was an aspiring pugilist, who had
graduated from the amateur ranks,
and had a fond idea he could trim
Corbett. He tore viciously at the Den
yer lad for two rounds, and kept the
latter busy blocking and ducking
heavy punches.
In the third round a heavy wallop
landed on the ex-champion's nose, and
Corbett lost his temper. He tented
with his left, and stepped in with a
right uppercut that sent George on his
back and into a corner. When he
came to Corbett was boxing with an
other amateur.

PENDANTS in . Civfl Action.

Kansas City. Kan, Nov. 2s.-J. w.
Dana, city counselor. filed suit in the
district court against NJ. 3. Snyder,
Charles Scheller and J. B. Robinson,
the members of the park board. to
collect from them S2,27O. which he
alleges that J. E. Council. the missing
park board clerk, has Incorporated

alleges that the boar dwas provided
for by a city ordinance and was given
$4,000 to exoend on the new city
park at Grandview. which was given
to the city by the Metropolitan Street
Railway company; that J. f. Cornell,
who was the duly auth Orized clerk of
the park board, fraudulently drew
warrants to the amount of $2,270, and
appropriated the money to his own
uses.
After this fact was brought to the
notice of the city by the auditing COM

Gilbert demanded of the three mem
bers of the park board that they make
good the shortage. This they have not
done. il is alleged. As the money was
turend over to the park board, Mr..
Dana holds the members are respon-
sible for the acts of the clerk.

MUCH BOXING IN ENGLAND.
Remarkable Activity in the Sport
Decry NeiTs Ability.

New York, Nov. 28.-Boxing is hav-
ing a great boom in England. The
latest number of the Mirror of Life,
a sporting weekly of London, devotes
seven solid pages to the game, giving
accounts of various fights in different
parts of the country, and printing a
list of challenges that shows conclu-
sively the activity among the fighters.
The winning of the bantam-weight
worlds championship from Neil by
Joe Bowker has given the game a
fresh start across the pond. Among
those mentioned are Ben Jordan and
Pedlar Palmer, who are to fight for
the English featherweight title.
About Neil the English writer says:
Neil says that Bowker has promised
to give him a return match. No doubt
Joe would give him another chance
with pleasure, but until the plucky
little American has mastered some or
the rudiments of boxing it would be
as we'll if he forgot all about that sec

HASKELL TOO LIGHT.
Speed Counted Little Against CarIisIe's
Drawn.

St Louis. Mo. Nov. 2s-After three anc
a half minutes of play, during which the
Haskell Indians fairly ran the Carlisle
braves off their feet and p. Hauser, Has
kell's right end, kicked a field goal from
the 1S-yard line, the Wanted speed of the
western Indians spent itself against the
Drawn and muscle of the eastern redmen.
The latter's heavy, plunging backs tore
through Haskelfs line almost at will, fold
ed the opposing line back upon itself when
Haskell had the ball and piled up a score
of SO before the end of the second
Half.
With ideal football weather and many
strong supporters of the two government
Indian schools in the city, besides the in
terest assured in the contest by non-par-
tisan lovers of the sport contributing to
the success of the game, there were more
than 1900 persons in the worlds fair sta
dunn when Libby kicked off
After the spectacular dash of the Has
kell team the Carlisle gridiron warriors
gained their true form and plunged
through the Haskell line, gained many
yards on end plays and in every other
way completely outplayed the western
ers.

Another Big Gas Well Struck
at Bonner Springs.
1t Is Brought in Saturday at
the Depth of go Feet.
HAS A SPLENDID FLOW
Is Free from Water and Is in
Good Condition.
This Territory Is Beginning to
Attract Attention.
HAS A SPLENDID FLOW

Kansas City, Kan, Nov. 2S.-A nat
ural gas well drilled to a depth of 760
feet and having a flow of about 3 mil
lion feet of natural gas every - hours,
it is claimed, was bI eaght in on the
Mcdaniel farm, a mile Of here Satur-
day afternoon. The we'll is owned by
Rogers & Green. who have been operat-
ing in the Chanute fields for two years.
This is the eighth well in the vicinity
which has heavy flow of gas. Each
of the eight wells has an average flow
of a little more than 2 million feet of
natural gas each every "A hours, it Is
asserted by their owners.
This we'll is the first drilled by Rogers
& Green here and the third well which
has been drilled to the lower bed of gas
sands. The well just brought in is at
the head of McDaniels lake and is 1000
feet south of the Hatch well, drilled to
a depth of $500 feet five years ago, and
which had a big flow of sas.
There is only one other well drilled
this year in the vicinity OF Bonner
Springs TO as great a depth as that
brought in by Rogers & Green. 1t IS
situated on the Twist farm and was
drilled by T. b. Wood and has a strong
1iow of gas from the lower bed of gas
sands.
The Rogers & Green Wen has been
cased to the lower sands and will be
saved 1t is said to be free from water
and in good condition
This well has been watched Nth con-
siderable interest by the operators in
the Bonner Springs and Chanute gas
1ields. It is said to be equally as good
as the wells drilled three miles north
east of McDanieFs lake by T. 3. Wood
The territory over which natural gas
has been discovered at Bonner Springs
is three miles long, east and west, and
two and une-half miles wide The flow
OF gas is sufficient in some parts of the
territory to warrant the drilling of

Will be done
The experts, and some of the opera
tors, say that the discovery of gas in
the vicinity of Bonner Springs at two
different depths and between forma-
tons of hard rock entities that field

He is coldblooded and he is partly deaf
as we'll 1t is easy enough to rattle a
jack-in-the-box like Terry McGovern
erences to his nationality, but good,
stiff punches are the only things that
will count with this tow-headed Dane"
Such being the case, instead of polish
ing up his powers of invective, Corbett
had better enlarge his stock of upper
shoots and cross wallops. Nelson's
motto, apparently, is ''Whacks, Not
Words"
Jimmy Gardner has accomplished
what Coffroth and other pugilistic dip
lomats and tacticians failed in. He has
brought about match between Young
Corbett and Jimmy Britt.
Not that Gardner labOred . toward
that particular end. 1t was by offering
himself as an understudy for Corbett
that he expedited matters in the man
ner described.
Corbett and Britt had had a meeting
for the purpose of talking over weight
conditions. Coffroth was there as chap
eron, and he could not induce the rivals
to keep to the point under discussion
They found more satisfaction in pro-
claiming their dislike for each other.
Britt wanted 1872 pounds at o'clock
and Corbett was equally stubborn III
demanding 1870: Not one conciliatory
word was spoken and the outlook for
capitulation or compromise was as blue
as indigo when they parted with a
mutual Snarl
Coffroth admitted with reluctance
that so far as the prospect of matching
the pair was concerned he could not see
a rift in the clouds. He said it was a
pity that each man did not boast a
manager. He felt that further meet
ings between the pugilists would sim
ply mean further displays of personal
feeling.
Then Jimmy Gardeners shadow fell
athwart the scene. He sent word from
Denver that he would make a weight
suitable for Britt and after a few ex-
changes in the way of kilograms all
that appeared to remain in the matter
of c1inching a Britt-Gardner go was to
have articles drawn up and signed
Just about this time Young Mr.. Cor
bett came tumbling off his high horse.
He thought that all the talk about
Gardner being matched with Britt was
simply so much tommyrot invented for
the purpose of coercing COrbett. He
discovered his mistake and announced
his Willingness to box Britt at any
weight that Britt might name. Gardner
may not be overjoyed at the turn af-
fairs have taken, but whenever the
Britt-Corbett go is up for argument he
can say with all truth, Il helped to
make that match
The details of the Britt-Corbett affair
have not been settled as yet, but it is
felt that everything will be straight
ened out within day or two and that
the pair will provide the feature event
of the Yosemite clubs December pro-
gram. Incidentally there is more joy
in San Francisco over the prospect of
the contest than there was when the
Britt-Gardner bout seemed inevitable.
1t is felt here that Corbett is entitled
to a return date with the native son,
but, of course, everything hinges upon
Corbett's ability to defeat Battling
Nelson.
