VESSEL MADE GOOD USE OF HIS
FISTS AND BROKE AWAY FROM
HIS ASSAIlANTS - MEN WERE
ROUGHLY DRESSED.

man shoe store, was the object of a
vicious attack on the part of two
thugs Sunday evening at the corner
of South | and Eighth streets while
he was returning to his home, 7O7
South e. street Vessel gave battle
to the two highwaymen and SO stout
ly did he defend himself that both
men retired from the conflict, badly
the worse for wear.
Mr.. Vessel, after disposing of his
two adversaries, took to his heels and
lost no time reaching his home. He
confided in no one until yesterday,
when the police were informed of the
attack that had been made upon him.
Mr. Vessel states that the reason he
kept the matter secret, was to avoid
undesirable notoriety.

In telling of his fight, Mr.. Vessel
states that while passing the corner of
South Eighth and | streets Sunday
evening, he noticed three men stand
ing in shaded spot by the large va
cant lot where the Red Mems carnival
was held two years ago. Suddenly
two OF the fellows crossed the street
in his direction, while the third man
remained on the side of the street
where he was standing. Mr.. Vessel
says that he had premonition that
trouble was in store for him as the
men, both big fellows, were roughly
dressed and had the appearance of
thugs.
Two Of the Men Made Attack.
When the men caught up with him,
one man, without warning, assaulted
Vessel. After fierce scuffle Wes-
sci sent right hook to his opponent s
jaw which retired him from the con-
fiict No sooner had this man been
disposed of than the second man as
saulted Vessel with a club. hitting
him a terrible blow on the shoulder,
narrowly missing his head. Vessel
closed with his second assailant and
in hand to hand scrap succeeded in
rendering him hors de. combat in a
short space of time. Vessel then
remembered that discretion Is the bet
ter part of valor and made for home
and friends. Vessel does not bear a
scratch as a result of his double

Have Been Run Over.

Mrs. <. II. Charles of Spiceland,
narrowly escaped having her lower

PLAN Permanent GALLERY
ART ASSOCIATION WANTS RICH
MOND TO HAVE A CONSTANT
EXHIBIT AND ALSO AN ART
INSTITUTE.

Last evening the exhibit of the
Richmond Art Association for the sea-
son of 1906, came to an end. Hun
dreds of people paid farewell visits
to the exhibit yesterday and express
sions of regret were heard on all sides
that the beautiful works of art had to
be returned.
The exhibit of art in Richmond will
not always be a loan exhibit and of
annual occurrence. The aim of the
Richmond Art Association is to es-
tabish an art gallery and an art in
stitute in this city some time in the
future, and it is with this end ir, ,\,w
that picture is annually being ad-
ded to the collection of the Associa-
tion. At the present time there are
fourteen paintings in this collection.

local art exhibits, in conversation
with Superintendent T. A. Mott, of
the public schools, said, THE Rich

that the city will be able to build an
art gallery, the Association will be in
possession of the finest collection of
art in the West"
When an art gallery is established
in this city, Richmond will bear a
unique reputation, being the only city
in America to own public art gal
lery and a public collection of art. In
many cities in the country there are
numerous private art galleries, but
there are no public art galleries,
which are so common in European
cities.

Another ring celebrity was added to

Neary is accompanied by his man

type. not being given to much exu-
berance over his own prowess. Toy.
however, is willing to tell of the little

to predict great things for his pro-

Both, however, respect Memsic's
ability, claiming that he is one of the
tough customers who lie in the way of
championship aspirants.
Neary has not been in the ring since
his decisive victory over Aurelio Her

Somewhat nonplussed by the phen-
omenal strides in membership, Los An
gees Athletic club directors are taking
active steps tending toward the erec-
ton of handsome club house, where
ample facilities will be provided.
When the local club was first
broached anticipations were that the
venture would prove a success and a
club house was considered as an ad-
Junct of the near future. So rapidly,
however, have applications been re-
ceived that it has been practically i'm
possible to accommodate the large num-
Der that have desired admission cards.
A glance at the club locker rooms
gives evidence of the inroads which
have been made upon present space.
Tier upon tier of lockers have been in
stituted, necessitating a ladder climb
for those recently inscribed upon the
rolls.
When the new club house is completed
it will form one of the most modern
and handsome institutions of it's kind
in the country, and William NJ. Gar
land, who leaves tonight for Chicago
and New York, will inspect the great
athletic clubs of those cities for the
purpose of studying their most attrac-
tive features and installing them in the

the Vancouver fifteen were defeated

most enthusiastic crowd of the season

highly exciting.
Three thousand spectators were on

Every gain was savagely contested and
the fierceness of the plays recalled the
desperate scrimmages of the tabooed
intercollegiate game SnoWden, the
halfback for the visitors, was the star
of the game.
There was no try until near the end
of the game, when Vancouver by a
burst of speed forced the ball from
the middle of the field to within five
yards of the goal line. Then Snowden,
in what looked like an old time line
buck, forced the ball over for a try,
giving three points, He kicked and

Harvard scored near the end of the
second half.
There was good deal of interest In
the contest and the trains brought
many thousands of people to the cam
pus, where so many stirring gridiron
battles have been fought.
The game was somewhat tame III
comparison to the contests played un-
der the old rules. Harvard did the bet
ter putting. but when 1t came to buck
ing the line the visitors were out
classed. F'umbles were made at criti-
cal moments by both sides. Penalties
were frequent, but matters were
evened up.
Toward the end of the first half Har-
ward had the better of the battle but
ffteen-yard penalty prevented a
probable touchdown. In the second
half the army surprised everybody by
its strong play. Mountford failed by
few inches to kick a goal from the
field. Another attempt from the mid
die field was blocked by Wendell, who,
after Hill had made a futile attempt to
tackle him, made a touchdown. Burr
failed to kick the goal and the game

NEW YORK, Oct 27.-Princeton won

the football field at the polo grounds
today. The score was IA to 5, but there
was little to choose between the two
teams. Toward the end of the second
half Princeton Drawn and condition told
and the ball was theirs most of the
time.
Cornell started with a rush, and
within Ave minutes had scored by clever
forward passes and side kicks.
Twenty thousand enthusiasts crowded
the stands and there was not an inch
of standing room at the lower end of
the ground. Bat it was a quiet gather
ing compared with the old days of the
Yale and Harvard and Princeton and
Pennsylvania and other struggles.
The Ithacans were somewhat light er
and played an open game, gaining both
around the ends an dwith the forward
pass. Cornell also profited through the
penaliZing of Princeton.
The second half was characterized by
line bucking, at which Princeton showed
vast superiority.
CornelPs touchdown was made by
Walker and Cook kicked the ball to
what was thought to be goal by
nearly every one present. There was
much astonishment when the referee
announced that the ball had not gone

The second touchdown was the result

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-The American

new football rules. Under the decision

resented.
Considering rule five it was voted
that in putting the ball in play, the
center rush may press the ball back
to one side and need not necessarily
snap 1t between his legs. In either
sion while he is on the line of scrim-
mage and must go first to man who
is behind the line of scrimmage.
Under the same rule it was voted
that in case of a punt out the catcher
of the kick need not raise his hand
as a signal for a fair catch 1t was
declared that the rule preventing
hurdling is intended to apply only to
the man carrying the ball and was
passed to prevent dangerous play.
The section under rule II which pro-
vldes that the side which has the ball
shall be in motion at the moment when
the ball is put into play, is construed
to mean that this will not prevent a
player from running backward from
the scrimmage line toward his own
goal line.
Under tho section of rul II which
provides that none of the five men
occupying the middle positions, center.
guard or tackle, may drop back from
the line of scrimmage OH the offense,
the committee declare:
"If a captain, during the progress Of
a game, wishes to change a center,
guard or tackle to position in the
back field, or to the position of end,
he may do so by speaking to the ref
cree, but no player thus Vacating the
position OF center. guard or tackle
shall thereafter during the game go
back to the positions"
In discussing rule IA, exception l, the
committee decided:
when a forward pass touches the
ground in the field of play without
touching the player at their side, the
ball is dead and goes to the opponents
on the spot where the pass is made, eX-
cept in case the ball crosses the goal
line without touching player on their
side, when it is touchdown. In both
instances the penalty may not be re-
fused.

nents on the spot where the pass was

SPRINGFIELD. Mass. Oct. 27.-
Adult coaches for school boy football

of developing good citizenship, in an
