Haskell 6. william Jeweu O

Lawrence. Kan, Oct. 9-William
Jewell held Haskell down to a single
touchdown Tuesday on Haskell f1eld in
an exciting game ending six to nothing
in favor of the speedy redskins
Louis Dupuis the fleet left half back
of the Indians kicked to Wolfenden in
the William Jewell fifteen yard line.
The collegians made first down by line
bucks once and then lost the ball. The
blue jersied redskins had lined up and
Dupuis had raced around the end for
ten yards before the collegians knew
that the game was on. Then, after
single numeral Good Eagle scared
around the other end for dozen yards.
1t looked as though the speedy Indians
would pile up a larger score than they
could count, but they were penalized
fifteen yards for holding in the next
play. Then the penalty was repeated
twice in succession putting the Indians
in the middle of the field. They did
not rally again until the end of the
first half when by few end runs in
which the Haskell halves raced through
the palefaces without being stopped un-
til they reached the safety man. Du-
puts touched the leather down and
Baird kicked an easy goal.

PRINCETON EASY FOR SCRUBS.
Regulars Show Tendency to Play High
This Season.

Princeon, N. J., October 9-With the
Princeton-Wesleyan game coming to-
day, the coaches eased I'D on the tigers
at practice, but even though light work
was the order the exhibition which was
seen was one of the poorest thus far
this season. Time and time again the
scrubs broke through the heavy varsity
line and blocked kicks and plays galore
The only thing the varsity accomplish
ed was clever forward pass by Wis
ter and a few drop kicks by Harlan
One of the weaknesses of the Princeton
team this season is it's tendency to play
high.
The back field also played loosely and
especially on forward passes One
would have never suspected that this
same eleven defeated Stevens by a
score of Al to 0.

Baum of pony halfback fame in 1885

Tomorrow his old-time teammate behind

prominence as a possible dropkicker by

REVIEWS THE WAR.
DR.. Long, Back From Vacation. Hurts
Charges at President Roosevelt.

Stamford. Conn. Oct 9-Dr. William
j. Long, the nature writer whose works
have been branded as fake by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, has returned from q
nine weeks rest in the Maine woods
He comes back greatly refreshed and
full of fight. He says there is no truth
in the story that he or any member OF
his family was made i'll by the ,contro-
sversy. Regarding Mr.. Roosevelt's re-
Gently reiterated criticisms DIR. Long
said today:
'tAll was so peaceful in the big woods
from which / have just returned that
had forgotten all about Mr.. Roose-
veltS numerous controversies. Yes,
have read his last attack.
You know, he had his pretended in
terviewer, Mr.. Clark. and several small
naturalists visiting HIM at Oyster Bay
last summer, and it did not take much
of a prophet to see that he was hatch
ing another nasty attack on me and
patching up his own damaged reputa-
ton as the worlds authority in natural
history.
Scores Presidents Supporters.
In his first attack he raised an issue
of truth or falsehocd. 1 met him on his
own ground, furnished the proofs he
demanded, and offered to submit more
until he was satisfied of the truth of
my observations if he would only treat
them honestly like a man.
Instead of answering he gathers to-
gether few of his friends, officeholders
and skin collectors, and publishes their
letters, with a few vague generalities Of
his own, and then he pretends that this
collection of malice, ignorance, and
spite was not arranged by himself but
was a purely voluntary contribution OF
expert opinion.
1T would be ridiculous, if it were not
so damnable. The whole attack is so
unjust and indecent that unless the
president had added the weight of his
office to the Islander no reputable maya
zine or paper would have dreamed of
printing it.
Hands Back the Word '.Faker.''
Shall answer 1t? don't know, but
I think not. The only new thing
brought out is that one of Mr.. RDose-
velt's overzealous friends proclaims
that there are no wolves in Newfound
land, and Mr.. Roosevelt, with his usual
moderation, jumps at the bait and
swallows it. The thing is too foolish to
discuss. 1t is not matter of opinion,
but of fact. The wolves are there
How about the presidents bear
hunt?' asked the reporter.
80, that's Mr.. Roosevelt's business,
not mine. Only if 1 were one of his
friends 1 would make a suggestion.
The last time he went hunting bears it
was in the spring, when mother bears
had cubs and were weakened by the
long winters fast.
Deeds and Talk Disagree?
according 10 MS own DOdSIIul dc-
count, he and his heroic band killed
eleven bears, all mother bears and
their little cubs, after a pack of dogs
had driven the poor creatures into
trees and they were absolutely help
less. Then he preached on the
neroism of hunting and urged all
sportsmen to unite in saving our few
remaining bears and other game ami
mails from destruction.
'"This time, I hope he will omit
either the killing or the preaching.
70 indulge in both shows a lack of ,
either humor or consistency"

MIR. COBB, OF DETROIT.
Was Once offered for Sale For the
Sum of Twenty five Dollars.

gum OF twenty-five Dollars.
Cincinnati, Oct. ED Ransick, the
Cincinnati manager, who had charge
OF the Augusta (Ga.) team when De-
troit trained there last spring, is very
enthusiastic over the Tigers chance
in the worlds series. Speaking of the
work of Jennings and his men Ran
sick last night said:
1.-THE whole south is interested in
the Detroits. The southerners admire
Jennings for the plucky fight he has
made, and want to see him carry off
the banner. 'Ty' Cobb, one of the star
outfielders of the Detroits, is a Geor-
gia boy, his home being at Roysten
in that state. When the Detroits left
Augusta they were. in the pink of
condition, and that's why they made
such a splendid showing. Jennings
used to put all his players over in the
left field and then make them chase
over to right field, where all the fungo
hits landed This was something new
in the training line, as all the other
managers placed the felders in the
regular positions, and all they had to
do was to take few steps to catch
the ball. Cobb, who is now the lead
ing batter of that organization, was
once offered for sale for the large sum
of SIS, with no takers"

Frat Men Raise $500 for Training
Table of Eleven.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct. 9.-The repre-

night at the Michagamma rooms and
decided to raise $500 for extras for a
training table of the football men. The
men will pay the regular price of board
and the $500 will go for luxuries.
1t is not considered that this is any
violation of the conference rules, as the
athletic association has nothing to do
with it and it is simply an independent
on the part of certain por-.

burning. But some of the members of
that company had parents who were
willing to work, and were thus enabled
to redeem their baggage after time"
Although he admits having chosen
the theatrical profession because he
thought it would be easy, Mr.. Stuart
is free to confess that he made the mis-
take of his life when he allowed himself
to labor under the impression. Long be-
fore the conclusion of his first year 'in
business his mind had been oisabused.

INDUSTRIAL PEACE"

There Is soon to be a call enunciated
for meeting Of the industrial barons
and their workers, in the interest of
what is styled industrial peace" :"
The scheme eminates from the feder-
al senate and Is fathered by the vet
eran senator from Virginia, John W.
Daniel. 1t may be well to hasten the
assembly in view Of the threatening
strike of railway men that is to in
volve forty-t two great railway sys-
TENS Of the country. and exercise the
new elements of suasion and persua-
sion in the settlement of that mighty
issue, just to measure the effective
ness of the program.
All men are ireamers, and these
lovely visions are infinitely credita-
Bile to the hearts inspired, but the
day of realization is so distant the con-
sumation so hopeless, the impediments
SO vast and intricate, the selfishness
of man so boundless, that the CLAM
our of the thing dies in its very con-
ception. Ali men yearn for peace, at
home, in business life, in society, at
the polls, and among the nations, /
II is a cardinal precept with all good
men to live at peace with their fell
lows, but every such aspiration is
wrecked upon the one, superlative bar
rier, Money, and all that money stands
for. II the wisdom of the world shall
circumvent that dreams shall become
facts In which all men may glory.
