Champions of the World

National league, will also play in Bir- mingham against the Barons, winners of the Southern league pennant.
 These teams will unquestionably be the drawing cards of the spring season, and that Birmingham obtained both is a mat ter for oongratuIation. It is probable that no team will held spring practice here, the local management being opposed, but it is expected that still others, in addition to the ones mentioned above, will play series in Birmingham.

 On the Team.
MT. PLEASANTS A WONDER

Cambridge, Mass November 14.-(Spe- cial-There are more powerful football teams in the country this year than the Indians, but there are few that draw greater crowds to see them play, only such old-time rivals as Howard and Yale and Yale and Princeton being able to out shine them in this respect. But tho peo- pie who turn out to see these big teams play are largely alumni of the institu- tions and their friends. When the In- dans,; however are to play, Curiosity seems to seize every one The mere men tion of Indians makes the average indi- vidual prick up his ears but when he hears of their playing footbal. his in terest is immediately aroused to see how the redskin will compare with his white conquerer at the white mans game.
 But this mere curiosity to see the abor- iginee pitted against the newcomer is not the only cause that makes the popu- lace come out to see him play In the few years that the Indians have been at the game they have established for themselves an enviable reputation. There is not a team in the country that does not consider them worthy foemen and that does not feel proud to get away from them with a victory. That this regard for their prowess on the grdiron is nothing more than their due is shown by the results of their game with mem bers of the big four this year; the poor Quakers were smothered by them under 24 to score, while the Crimson team, that outweighed them fifteen pounds to the man. had everything they could do to score one lonely touchdown, and hold their opponents safe.

Fastest In Country.

the fastest in the country, their four backfield men being able to run the hun dred-yard dash inside of eleven seconds. Neither is their line by any means slow. The rapidity with which they pull off plays and get into action after the ball is snapped is remarkable. And the reck- less abandon with which they fight is worth going d long way to see. Their star halfback, Mt. Pleasant. slender, little fellow weighing only 134 pounds, is a regular western cyclone When he gets the ball in broken field, it is cer- tainty that it is going to take two or three men to stop him. And then when he hits the ground, there is no certainty that he is going to stay there unless some one sits on him.

one when he stood hard drive and out
gained Halton. If anything beats him
it will be Nappa. This one is very fast
and with only 103 pounds on her back
will set a heartbreaking pace. DR..
Crook should have little trouble to beat
Frascuelo for the short end of the
purse.
The fourth race is a very open affair,
as the weights have been allotted so
that none stands out prominently. w.
H. Carey ran as though short in his
last race and should give a better ac-
count of himself today, as that race
put him on edge. j. F. Donohue is a
very consistent performer but his
weight will sit heavy on him. Should
about get the place honors. Dusty Mil
Ter on his form last summer at Seattle
should beat out A. Muskoday.
A very poor lot are entered in the
fifth race. On form, figures and work
outs it would not be surprising to see
them finish Remember, Pinta, Ell Pal

chance to be in the money.
If Viona runs back to her last race
she will be the one to catch in the sixth
race. She has the speed of this lot
Freesias looks next best. but at that is
not much and may be beaten by Wood

FARMERS ARE STABBED
BY ANGRY P0RCUPINES

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec N.-Literally
living pincushions and filled with por-
cupine quills from their ankles to their
thighs Burt Seavey and Cullen Jor-
den of Scarboro were brought to a local
physician tonight for treatment after a
battle with two giant "Maine hedge
hogs" which they had encountered in a
wood road while returning from work
this afternoon. The physician plucked
more than thirty-five quilts from the
legs of each man, but no serious results
are expected, unless blood poisoning
sets in.
AS soon as the two young farmers
came upon the porcupines, just before
dusk, they picked up clubs and started
for the animals. The hedgehogs, as
they are called hereabout, jabbed their
needle-pointed quilts into the farmers
legs. The young men responded with
a short, but sharp attack with their
clubs, but the porcupines proved to
have the better weapon and carried the
day. Although one OF them was left
stretched on the ground, the other re-
treated triumphantly ana in good order,
master Of the situation, while the two
agricuturists limped home and out of
harms way as speedily as possible.

balanced fields are carded to start and
the winners in each race will be a price
as none stand out prominently.
Sais. with only 107 pounds up, will

going. Judge Denton and Betsy look
the contenders on paper, but Rodolfo

morning trials and will no doubt run a
good race. Taylor George is an In and

dangerous factor. Like them to finish

enough to beat this kind.
The third race should go to Prolific.
