Navy Yard Team Has Lost but
One Game of the Eighteen
Played This Season.

There seems to bo only one team in tho
race for the departmental championship
this season, and the fast-playing Sailors ara
the prohibitivc fayorites. They have been
bumped for only one game this year. and
during the last two weeks made clean
sweeps of all their games The Bureaus,
with the same team that twice landed tho
Plate Printers champions, appear To he tho

appear to be outclassed by tho navy yard
experts.
Again tho leadership Of the indiy iduals
has changed. Hofmann of the Farmers.
who first held the title and resigned II to

eleventh place. Garrett of last years

double centuries. winning him tho special
cash ''V'' prize FOR leading the league at
the end OF the first months bowling and
with his single string Of 25s tying Akers for
high score During the last two weeks,
however, Miller of the leaders has done
the best individual work. six consecutive
double century games netting two sets OF
6lS and tS1, having pulled his average up
from ia To ls5, landing him ia third place.
The Treasury bowlers. on 10 poor start,
have hit their stride. climbing out Of the

Score of 10 to 4.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, November 3.-Al-
though matched against an eleven which
showed superior team work, the University
of Michigan this afternoon, on Ferry Field.
defeated Vanderbilt University by the score
OF 10 to 4. Garrels. the Michigan full back.
scored all of the points against the south
ern team. In the first half he kicked a
field goal and in the second half, after the
Vanderbilt eleven had tied the score with
a field goal Garrels broke the tie and won
the game by a wonderful seventy-ive yard
run for a touchdown. The southerners
had more dash than the Michigan team, but
luck favored the northern eleven. In the
first half Vanderbilt worked the ball to
Michigan's two-yard line. only to lose it on
a tumble. Garre1s, Curtis and Bishop were
the stars of the Michigan team. and Bish-
OPS splendid work in running back punts
partially made up for the superiority of the
Vanderbilt ends.

of both teams expected a close. hard game.
Coach Yost of Michigan said If we win
by a single score l shall be happy
Coach McGugin of Vanderbilt said: I'VE

The weather was clear and bright
Splendid feeling was shown, between the
two coaches and teams McGugin, an old
Michigan foot ball player. was given the
use of Ferry Field yesterday afternoon for
his teams practice, and the Vanderbilt
squad were guests last night at meeting
of students in University Hall, and Capt

DICK HYLAND
AFTER TOP-NOTCHERS

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. November g.
San Francisco fight fans are watching with
interest the career of Fighting Dick" Hy-
land. the youngster who but little more
than year ago was only a promising
amateur.
Since his first defeat at the hands OF
frankie Neil. Hyland Whose right name
Is Willie Uren) has been climbing steadily
up the pugilistic ladder until now the top
notchers are none too anxious to give the
boy a chance.
The youngsters last five battles were all
won on good. clean knockouts. Leaving
San Francisco after the fire, Dick achieved
fame in Denver by knocking out three
tough boys on the same night. His next
opponent in that city was Martin Devany,
whom he put away In four rounds. The
famous Young Corbett his next VIC
tim, and Hyland surprised even his most
ardent admirers by flattening the former
featherweight champion in five rounds. a

HARVARD DEFEATS BROWN.
Goal Kicked From Placement Decides
the Game.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, November 3-Har-
ward defeated Brown on Soldiers field
this afternoon by score Of 2 to 5. A
hard game had been expected and the
Brown players showed to great advantage.
The Harvard defense was forced to its
best efforts. for the team was weakened
by the absence of Captain Foster, and the
backfield was shaky, especially after Wen
dell had been ruled out.
The game was won for Harvard near the
close of the second half when Burr kicked
a goal from placement on the 25-yard line.
Both teams made touchdowns by straight
rushing half the length of the field. Har-
ward massed her attack in the first half
and mainly by line plunges. aided by for
ward pass, reached the Brown goal line,
where Wendell was pushed over for the
first score of the day. Burr failed to kick
the goal.
For the first ten minutes in the second
half neither side could gain much dis
lance, but finally Brown rushed the ball
by clever plays and also by a forward pass
to the Harvard two-yard line, where Curtis
was pushed over the line. Curtis failed on
a difficult goal

PLUNGE OF JOHN w. GATES
THE TOPIC OF THE HOUR
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK. November 3.-Jamaica's
closing scenes yesterday and Aqueduct's
opening strides to-day have held the atten-
ton of racegoers in spite Of bleak, raw
weather most of the week. The defeat of
Roseben and the Luretta coup by John W.
Gates yesterday have furnished the betting
sensations of the arena in converse ratio
For whereas Owner johnson lost $50 600
wager on Roseben. the Chicago Spectator
landed $4,000 plunge on Luretta, getting
as much as 10 to ! about the western mare
Report has it that Gates presented Luret-
ta's owner with $4,000 for his information
about the mare, and the coup IS the topic
Of discussion in turf circles. The Gates
commissioners backed Luretta down to 3
at post time, every layer in the Jamaica
betting ring getting 'stung'' on the race.
Tommy Waddell's two victories since
Radtke rode him made that lads case one
to be solved. 1t was not so much that
Radtke did not the whip on Waddell the
day that horse ran out of the money as the
manner in which the horse went wide on
two turns, whether by his fault or the
Jockeys The lad, however. may have done
his best. and he is such capable rider
1t is to be hoped that he will be given every
benefit OF any doubts in his case.

have been new formula.
When that good mare Connemara was a
three-year-old she flew the track In race
at Morris Park. dumped her jockey and
went over every fence in the enclosure like
a bird. 1t was then thought that she had

but this was probably a canard, as the
mare never showed any further antics of
the sort.
But the dope" practice has naturally
been bugbear to the public for years, and
this drastic action of the Jockey Club meets
with hearty commentator owing to the

IN LOCAL CHESS CIRCLES.

Departmental chess players showed up
strong against Marshall Monday night.
when he gave an exhibition of simultaneous
play at the rooms of the Washington Chess
Club. OF the six players who Won out
against the master. five were members of
last years departmental teams. while sew
eral others gave him close rub.
1t was expected that Marshall would
make much better showing than he did
on this occasion. Whether his game has
deteriorated or Uncle Sans experts are
gaining in strength is question hard to
decide.
Games were won by Sournin. Walker,
Hitchcock Pratt. Cannon and Lavender:
draws were played by Schwartz, Halstead.
Shade Alexander. Yoder. Wimsatt and
Adair: Marshall won from Melkow, Flick,
Webster. Lyman. Graham. Roberts, Croft
fut, Cohen, Boland and Hodges. Marshall
won 131s and lost 91a games.
Although the first scheduled match Of
the departmental series does not take place
until the 14th instant, the season will prac-
tically open with a simultaneous exhibition
by Mr. Walker. the Interior team captain.
opeu to all Corners Mr.. Walker wishes to
be opposed by about twenty men, If pos
sible in order that the contest may prove
a fair test of his skill. No entrance fee will
be charged for these games.
1t is rumored that neither Sournin nor
Capt Hill will be in the ranks of the In
ter.ors this season. In which event Mr..
Walker will be indeed the mainstay of the
team.
The personnel of the other teams will
probably be about the same as last sea-
son. excepting the consolda ton of certain
clubs recently announced. which should
have the effect of strengthening the entire
league
Devotees Of the game of chess at the gov
eminent printing office have formed team
to participate in the departmental chess
tourney at the rooms of the Washington
Chess Club this winter. team composed
of printers and bookbinderS was organized
last winter four weeks after the tourney
opened and. although handicapped by the
lack of practice. finished third in list of
ten teams. The showing made caused con-
siderable comment in chess circles last
spring owing to the fact that but one men,

totally lacking. The members and alter
