ARBITRATED PROFITS IN
FLORIDA LAND DEAL.

valdosta. Ca. Nov. 23.-The board Of
arbitration in the case of w. N. Har-
rell vs.. NJ. NJ. Smith for the division
of the profits from sale of land in
Florida to Wisconsin parties was fled
In the Superior Court to-day and made
the judgment of the court. The
boards verdict was in favor of Mr.
Harrel, giving him all he claimed
an equal division of the profits, to-
gether with any other sum that may
hereafter accrue from the sale, there
being suit for something like $4,000,
besides the amount in bank
While Mr.. Harrell was residing In
New York two or three years ago he
found a customer for some land in
South Florida and sent the party to
Mr.. Smith, his brother-in-faw, who
made the trade, clearing about $4,000
on the deal. Mr.. Harrell claimed half
of the profits and Mr.. Smith took the
position that he should have only a
commission. The board of arbitration
agreed with Mr.. HaTrell. The case
was to settle friendly dispute and
was taken out of court by the parties
at interest.
The case of w. G. Van Norden vs.
the Savannah. Florida and Western
road for $4,000 damages, was contin-
ued, after a full day had been con-
sumed in arguing amendments, de-
murrers and motions for continuance.

GuIIs Have Hardest Game of the
Season on for To-day.
Charleston has the hardest football
game played so far this season on for
to-day with Furman University.
If the Gulls are able to defeat this
crack college eleven they will still fur
Their demonstrate that they are able to
defeat almost any college eleven in
the South.
Five OF F'urman's men are well known
in the football world. Frank Watkins,
fullback. was formerly with the Uni
versity Of Virginia; Sam Nichols, half
back, formerly with the V. p. l.: Law
renee and Laboon of the F'urman team
of 1900.
Halfback Nichols is the man who
played fullback for Charleston against
Savannah last year. Altogether the
Furman team. though having had few
real important games this season, has
not yet been scored on, and is said
to be one of the best in the South.

EVIL OF DIVORCE.

by URftarians.
Charleston, S. c.. Nov. 23.-The sec
ond days session of the American Com
ference of Unitarian Churches was in
teresting and important. Reports from
various churches were received and
addresses made by Rev. Henry Wilder
Foote of New Orleans, Mrs. ]. S Rus
sell of Atlanta. Mrs. A. S. Smith of
Charleston, Rev. William H. Ramsay
of Louisville, KY, Rev. M. +. Ham of
Chattanooga, Rev. c. A. Langston Of
Atlanta and Rev. c. q. St. John Of
Boston.
Considerable time was given to Sum-
day-school matters. DR.. st. John pre-
sided over the sessions.
The following resolution was offered
by Rev. w. H Ramsay and unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved, That this conference of
Unitarian Churches desires to express
its sympathy with the growing senti-
ment among Christian people i'm favor
of safeguarding the American home by
discouraging in every possible way the
growing evil of divorce.
Resolved, That we desire to Coop
crate with our brethren Of other
churches in all legitimate efforts to
solve this difficult and vital problem"
At the meeting of the Southern ALI
ance the following officers were elect
ed: President, Mrs. r. A. Goddard
of Louisville; vice president, Z. p.
Turner; secretary and treasurer, Mrs
c. II. Behre, Atlanta.

ice is to be held tomorrow.

be well to bear in mind that the visitors
have had just as much opportunity to
improve since the game with the Fort
Screven team as Savannah.
No one will argue that Kennedy is
Cope's equal in generalsf1T, eKper-
fence or punting. His playing is well
known to a number of local enthus-
lasts. Savannah's line has lighter, but
more experienced men in it. The Jack
sonville papers claim the fastest back
field In the South. This is a little
amusing to local lovers Of the game,
as this is where Savannah has always
eXcelled.
The harmony of the visitors back
field is not known, nor is it's speed,
but every hard earned dollar of local
money will back up the belief that the
backs which will be presented to-day
are unsurpassed in the South. Figur-
ing the ends there is every reason to
give the palm to such veterans as
Lansberg, Smith and Cubbedge. Vital
positions on any team, these are well
cared for on the Blue and White line
Shifting johnson from tackle to full
back seems to have been a wise move.
Seemingly, especially designed for the
backfield. with all of the requirements
of a line plunging tackle, Johnson is
the peer of any "all-Southern" full
football. but he has tackled some of
the toughest propositions in the way of
rough and tumbles ON the lots, ever
seen.
Cornwall was the only absent MEM
Der at the practice last night, but he
will be in the game at the kick off
to-day Cubbedge will succeed Smith
at end for the first half anyway, he be-
ing more familiar with the new tao
tics since Smith was incapacitated for
practice by illness. Mitchell is regain
ing his old time form, and seems to
have warmed up his feet, which were
slightly below the normal temperature
in the two preceding games. If he
will only duplicate the daredevil spirit
he exhibited in the New Years game
with Charleston last January there will
be no kick.
A number of parties of society peo-
pie have been made UP and will at
tend the game.
Special reservations were made yes
terday for two parties of twelve each,
and one Of eight people. Other par
ties will go out in traps. from which
they will view the game from the side
lines.

RYAN AND ROOT
FAXED A FIGHT
REFEREE QUIT IN DISGUST.
EXHIBITION OF THE FIsTIC ART
WAS KISSED.

six-ROund Bout Had Been sehed-
uIed, but the Fighters Had Agreed
to Make IL a Fake Exhibition.
They Had to Have Police Protec-
ton After They Had Concluded
Their FiascO.
Philadelphia. Nov. 2S.-The fight be-
tween Tommy Ryan, the middleweight
champion, and Jack Root of Chicago,
the light heavyweight, which was
scheduled to go six rounds at the Ma
tional Athletic Club tonight, was end
ed in the middle of the fourth round,
by the referee. Jack Michigan, pro-
nouncing it a fake.
1t was one of the most unsatisfac-
tory pugilistic affairs ever held in this
city, and the spectators. long before
the referee stopped the bout. showed
their disapproval of the exhibition.
Trouble was averted by the prompt
work of the police in jumping in the
ring and protecting the fighters and in
clearing the hall. The managers of
both fighters vehemently protested
against the action of the referee but
they found few sympathizers in the
crowd.
Ryan and Root were late in enter
ing the ring. After the spectators had
been kept waiting a half hour the ref
cree, who has an interest in the club.
announced that the fighters were
counting the money in the box Office.
He explained that the house was
slim one. and that each man wanted
his money before entering the ring.
Five minutes later Ryan and Root ap-
peared.
The men did nothing more than feint
for nearly a full minute in the opening
round, which was followed by a light
exchange of blows which left no mark
on the fighters. The spectators began
to hiss the men toward the end of the
round, and as they took their corners
a storm of disapproval was hurled at
them.
In the second round not a solid blow
was struck. The third round was SO
palpably poor that Referee McGuigan
leaned against the ropes and waved his
hands in disgust at the fighters at
tempt to mix it up. After two min
utes and twenty seconds of the round
had passed, Root swung on Ryan and
the latter dropped to the floor to avoid
it. At this action the referee turned
his back on the men and the specta-
tors became very noisy. Ryan got
on one knee and seeing that the ref
cree was not tolling off the seconds, the
fighters went to their corners.
The confusion was great At the
expiration of three minutes the bell
rang, but instead of sitting in their
corners, the men thought it was the
beginning of the fourth round. The
referee let them go. He watched them
again attempt to land blows, which
they did without damage and after one
minute and thirty-three seconds had
elapsed he jumped through the ropes
and left the men in the ring alone.
His action was met with approval by
the crowd.
The moment Michigan left the men,
a half hundred police under command
of a captain surrounded the ring.
Suddenly a soda water bottle, which
had been thrown from the gallery,
dropped in the middle of the ring.
Then a score of policemen climbed
through the ropes and waved their
hands for the crowd to calm down
When the police had a semblance of
control Ryan and Root were led to
their dressing rooms under heavy es-
cort.

Yale players. Backed by a well-known
abolitionist sentiment at Harvard,
Wrightington was at first obdurate
until told Dointblank by the Yale
head coach that no more negroes must
be played on Harvard.
1t is said that Yale and Princeton
contemplate forming a three-cornered
league with Pennsylvania and drop

1t leaked out that Princeton had
taken hand in the row and told
Harvard plainly that football rela-
lions would never be resumed until
Harvard agreed not to play negroes.
Princeton nearly killed a Dartmouth
negro in a game last fall, and viii
not even tolerate black men in col
lege.
