The Colonial Theatre was crowded
last night 10 witness the athletic
sports in which Tommy Downs, the
crack sailor pugilist of the navy,
added another victory TO his list by
stopping Kid Lackey, of Baltimore,
before the end of the first round.
At the sound of the gong the men
started to mix il up and both were
doing well. Downs, however. drove
a hard one To the abdomen and ter
rife left TO the jaw. The blows sent
the Baltimore man reeling to the
floor and he took the count The con-
test was TO have gone ten rounds.
Downs is attached TO the United

wrestler of the navy, forfeited a

NAVY HAS SECRET PRACTICE
Curious OnIookers Not Permitted to
See Football Practice.

There was secret practice at the Ma
val Academy yesterday afternoon for
the first time this season. ON Tues
days drills and studies are SO sohed-
uled that the squad can get ON the
field little earlier than usual, and il
has been determined To devote the
afternoon of those days TO working on
special plays and other things for
which the coaches desire privacy.
Watchmen were stationed nj different
points-about the grounds and only the
officers and midshipmen directly con
nected with the team were allowed
within seeing distance. Daily secret
practice viii not begin for sometime.
Douglass. the halfback, who made
his appearance on the field Monday
for the first time, was out again yes
terday and did n little more work
than his first day.
Douglass got in the singal practice
for awhile, but did not attempt real
work. He is in fair physical shape,
but needs "A lot of hard work. Cap
tain Spencer and Piersol were on the
side lines, but will not be in the
game for several days. Right End
Bernard is also out of the game yet.
but Meyer, left guard, and one OF the

TROUBLESOME WORK ENDED.
CONSTRUCTION OF SEA WALL
is COMPLETED.
Among The First Undertakings In
Constructive Work at The
Naval Academy.

The work of constructing the sea-
wall al the northeast water front of
the Naval academy and the founda-
tion for the new power house. which
has caused those charged with the
work Of the construction of the new
Naval Academy buildings and grounds
more trouble than anything else, has
been completed after about two years
work
The work was not given out by con-
tract. but was done under the super
vision OF the Naval Academy author
tiles themselves. The work was be-
gun among the first undertakings in
constructive work at the Naval Aead-
envy, but after il had progressed for
some time the wall and foundations
sunk and proved a total loss. The
work was then begun in slightly
different location and has now been
completed. The authorities are conf
dent that they have constructed firm
foundation in the bed of the Severn
River.
The powerhouse is the only one of
the buildings of the new Naval Acad-
envy group which has not been begun.
Those having charge of the->erection
of it are now preparing specifications
for bids ON the remainder of the work.
This will be in two parts. the con-
struction of the ferro-concrete frame
work and the finishing, for which sep
arate bids will be asked. The build
ing is expected to be completed in
about year from date and this Will
mark the practical completion Of the
whole of the new buildings.
Two bids have been received for the
construction of the new experimental
station at the United States govern
ment grounds, opposite the Naval
Academy, but as both exceeded the
am cunt of the appropriation, the
specifications will have to be changed.
The sum of $3.50, 900 was appropriated
for the erection of the building, and
$3.50, 600 for its equipment. The bid
of the Noel Construction Company, of
Baltimore, $3.50, 600, was the lowest.
The other bid was from the Latta q
Terry Company, of New York.
1t is thought that a lower bid can
be obtained for the erection of the
buildings by including certain things
in the -amount set aside for equip
ment. which should properly be
classed as equipment, but which were
included in the construction specifi-
cations. During the winter months
work at the Academy will be almost
entirely confined to inside finishing
of the chapel, academic building and
Bancroft Hall, the razing of tempo
rary buildings and grading work
about the grounds
