Vincennes, July 2l-The Alice Men

fielding by the players of both teams

A prominent feature of the games
was the batting of Smith. French, Bar
hour and Cooper, each getting five
ATS out fisk times at BAT.
BoHno. as is his custom, pitched
both games of the double header and
was in elegant form. In the first
game he allowed the visitors but three
ATS and kept them well scattered,
aever giving them a chance to cross
the pan. The second game, though.
hey found him for nine and succeed
ed in pushing three men over the
ubber.
Carnes endeavored to work both
games for the Infants and in the first
allowed eight hits which the locals
punched for their two runs. In the

Philadelphia, Oct. 19.-TelTy Meow
ern defeated Tommy Murphy in one
round last night in their fight at the
National Athletic Club. McGovern
foored Murphy six times in the two
minutes and two seconds that the round
lasted. Murphy was then so dazed and
helpless that the referee stopped the
bout.
AIcCovern showed his oldtime form,
fighting hard and fast throughout
McGoyern opened the round by swing
ing hard TO Murphy's face and neck.
He followed this with a hard blow to
the body and then to the ear before
Murphy could land. After that it was
all McC;overn. He landed at will. Muir
ply began mixing it up and got the
worst of it. He was knocked down six
times and each time he came to his
feet staggering. McGovern stood over
him and struck him blow after blow.
Finally Murphy became defenseless,
and the referee stepped in and ended the
uneven contest. Murphy was carried to
his corner in an almost unconscious con-
dition.

Insurance Companies Entirely Solvent.

The subject Of life insurance is SO lit
tie understood by the public in general
that it is not strange there should be
marked misapprehension in relation to
the probable on possible results Oh. the
Investigation in progress into the affairs
of some of the insurance companies in
New York. For example it Is stated
that some policyholders who had paid
up policies were moved by the announce
ment of a conference of the insurance
commissioners of Vermont to query
whether or not to take the money to
which they were entitled, and throw up
their policies.
These and other reports in circulation
seem to make desirable renewed empha-
sis OF the fact that no question has been
raised about the entire solvency of the
great companies investigated. Indeed
the inquiry has served to demonstrate
that the companies have an immense
supply OF money or its equivalent in re-
serve, and one complaint has been that
their resources are 50 enormous as to
make it possible for them to control the
money situation to a marked degree

To ADVANCE "SOCKER"
IN EASTERN COLLEGES
Committee Is Elected by the Metropoli-
tan Association Football League
in New York.

New York, Oct. 19.-The visit of the
English Pilgrim Association football
team to America to introduce the asso-
citation game to college and leading ath-
letic clubs in this country has received
an impetus from the Metropolitan Asso-
citation Football League, which organi-
zation has elected a committee to adj
vance the game in all the prominent
eastern colleges, with the ultimate OBJ
ject Of establishing a big intercollegiate
league.
The project will be under the patron
age of the British ambassador, Sir Nor
timer Dmand, who is keen football
player and cricketer. The members of
the committee are: Everett j. Wendell,
Harvard; d. r. James, Princeton; G. r.
Kirby, Columbia; Julian w. Curtiss,
Yale; George w. Orion, University Of
Pennsylvania; John G. Van Worinser,
New York Athletic Club; and James E.
Sullivan, secretary of the Amateur Ath-
letic Union.
With the University OF Pennsylvania,
Hayerford College, Harvard, Swarth-
more and Cornell as nucleus, it is
the intention OF the promoters OF sock
err to include Yale, Princeton and Co
lumbia and play series of games an
nually for the intercollegiate association
football championship.
The efforts of the Metropolitan Foot
ball League are not to be confined to
colleges, but viii include the New York
Athletic Club, Crescent Athletic Club
Al
tions in the east. Sir Ernest Cecil Coeh-
rane, who is the donor of an interna-
tional trophy for competition between
the college teams Of England, America
and Canada, has offered silver cham
pionship cup, valued at S625, for COM
petition between college teams. The
trophy will be known as the lntercolleg-
late association football cup, and must
be won three times before becoming the
absolute property of the winner.
