1t transpires hat the reason for
placing tickets for the excursion TO Ell
Paso on the 9th of next month on
sale on the Sth is due to the fact that
the railroad proposes to protect it.
self from the scalpers.
This is to be done through the me-
dunn of descriptive tickets. Each
of the excursionists will have to pre-
sent himself to a ticket agent who
bil,s him out for a good, long squint
which will be punctuated by the click
of a punch driving through paste
board at the marks of identification.
In addition to which the purchaser of
passage to and from the circus will
have to sign his or her name and go
through the rest of the formula that
the scalper squelching program calls
for.
In view of the large number of peo-
pie who will be handled on this ex-
cursion it is immediately apparent
that the agents of the railroads in this
city, Naco and Douglas are going to
have a big job on their hands in get

The game of football yesterday be
tween the elevens of the University OF
S. G. and the A. & NJ. College. furn-
ished a big surprise to the Red ana
White, no score being made by either
side.
The South Carolinians played q
plucky game and although they never
put the A. & NJ. goal in danger sue
ceeded in forcing the fighting several
times for good gains. The team is a
light one but PLAYS football.
The play for the most part was in
the centre of the field. the nearest the
A. & M. team came to scoring being
when they lost the ball on South
Cardinals Is yard line.
South Carolina made too Intellectual
attempts at field goals, and MADE
several good gains around the A. &
MS right end The A & NJ play
was, on the whole, good on the de-
Tense and weak on offensive play ex-
cept for a time during the second half.
Neither Wilson. A. & MS crack
back, nor Oliver S. C.'s strongest man
were in the game. The star playing
for A. & M. was done by Abernethy
Gregory and Hadley: for South Car
DINA by the ends, and MCGEE. the
midget quarter back.

South Carolina earlier in the season
27 to 0, but the latter is said to have
improved wonderfully of late.
