THE MUSICIANS GET ALLOWANCE.
Navy Department Reconsiders Its
Action In This Matter.

The musicians of the Naval Acad-
envy band have at last gained the
point for which they have contested
for a long time. The departmental
official of the Navy have reconsidered
the action of dlsallowing the 50 per
month which the bandsmen, for num-
ber of years, received in addition to
their monthly salaries.
Several months ago the question
was raised as TO this allowance which
the bandsmen had all along been re-
ceiving monthly and on the ground
that they were not enlisted men, the
department decided TO abolish this
item of payment. 1t is well known
that the pay of the Academy musicians
is comparatively small and this al.
lowance went toward the payment of
house rent. The action caused .consjd-
erable CONSERVATION at the time and
following shortly afterward a move
ment was started to make it oompul-
sorry for all the musicians to enlist in
the service. And, again, the band
was compelled to play one hour addi-
tional each afternoon during the sum
mer months.
However, Ethe department, after fur
ther consideration, has countermanded
its action and yesterday the bandsmen
received the 50 allowance for the
month of September.

SWARTHMORE'S BEEFY PLAYERS.
Midshipmcn Play Biggest Game Of
The Season To-Day.

When the late afternoon train over
the Annapolis, Washington aud Bal.
timore Railroad pulled into the West
street station shortly after O'Clock, a
score of big, husky young men tum-
bled cut of the cars and attracted
much attention from the persons gath
cred on the station platform.
at first no one knew who these
giants are, but inquiry soon develop.
ed the fact that they are none but
the football players of Swarthmore
College of Pennsylvania The Quaker
eleven this afternoon is battling with
the Midshipmen' team on the Naval
Academy football grounds for supre-
macy of the season.
: Although the Midshipmen have been
playing dashing game of ball and
have won all of the games played thus
far, Navy money was hard to find last
night. The chances for victory, how
ever, are about even, and though the
Navy adherents have been greatly en-
eouraged by the splendid showing Of
their team, there are many who pre-
dict Swarthmore victory.
The contest started promptly at ?. 30
O'Clock aud the local team is making
desperate effort to win, because of
the fact that the boys from the Quaker
State were the victors in last season S
game. The MILDLY PLAYERS are in
pretty good shape and Captain How
ard, who has been out of the game
for ten days on account of a strained
shoulder, expected TO start in the
play. Navy has a fairly heavy set of
players, but the SHarthmore men are
giants

ST. JOHNS TEAM VICTORIOUS.
Scores 10 To O In The Game With
Richmond College.

The football eleven of St. John S
won this mornig from Richmond
College by the score of 10 to 0. In
the first few minutes of the game and
within five minutes of the close, st.
Johns did almost all of its gaining
and IN a series of plays outside of
tackle and quarter back runs, first by
Battle aud then by Duval. who sue
ceeded him, managed to make their
two scores.
The visitors from Richmond put mp
an excellent defense at all other per-
iods of the game and made the local
colleigans work hard for every yard
gained. The visitors also had several
plays w$th which they could gain
regularly, but lacked variety of at
tack and attempts at end rams were
almost always tackled for loss. Sneed
and Gooch were especially good on
carrying the ball, and rarely failed 70
gain. Iu the first part of the second
half, particularly, it looked as if the
visitors would tie the score. st.
Johns also suffered by being penalized
10 yards twice for holding and they
fumbled badly. st. Johns did not
have in its regular baclSfield, Half
backs Stephens and Duyal and Full
back Anderson, all suffering from
slight injuries. Sinclair scored the
first touchdown and McCardell the
second, Battle aud Duval each missing
a goal.
