HOWARD DEFEATS THE BIRMINGHAM
 COLLEGE BUNCH

l In one of the prettiest football contests O. the season Howard defoeted Birming- ham college yesterday afternoon by d score Of P to Il
 In weight the two teams were about equal The Owenton backs considerably outweighed Towards but this handicap was overcome by the Baptists' heavier line
 From the first kick off it was evident that a gruelling contest would be seen. Howard received the ball on her 10-yard line and brought it back 15 yards after futile effort to gain through Owen tons line and around the ends. the ball went oyer When Birmingham made two unsuccessful efforts to gain on line bucks Jackson punted to Towards 5-yard line and the ball was returned 15 yards. Here Howard was penalized 15 yards and it was Owentons ball ana only five yards to the goal. Howard made a desperate effort to prevent score but Lambert went over for the first touchdown of the game Jackson kicked goal.
 The next score was safety for How ard when Blount threw Rains. who re- covered Denney's punt behind the line. Soon after this Howard scored a toueh- down on beautifully executed forward pass from Burns to Harry. Denney kicked goal
 Owenton scored another touchdown in the first half but failed to kick goal. Denney for Howard. kicked a goal from placement on the 30-yard line.
 Neither side could pierce the opponents line and kicking was frequently resorted to- The score at the end of the first half was Howard 12, Birmingham col lege T.
 The second half opened with a rush. Owenton made frequent gains around Towards ends for long gains and it seemed for a time that another touch down was certain. Then the Baptists rallied and forced punt. Howard, after returning the ball 15 yards, sent Burns around right end for slight gains. After changing hands several times in the cen ter of the field, Owenton finally brought the ball to Towards SO-yard line. Here Jackson failed by a narrow margin on a goal from placement. During the last five minutes of play Denney made ire quent gains for Howard over Owenton's tackle. Time and again he clipped off five and ten yards.
 Blount worked the delayed pass through center for good gains. The game was called when Howard had the ball on Owentons 3O-yard line.
 For Birmingham college Lambert and Jackson were the stars. Jacksons punt ing was unusually good and Lambert is one of the fastest halfbacks seen here this season.
 For Howard Blount and Denney played their usual good game. Burns at quarter was very fast and an excellent tackler He showed good headwork in handling the team. Every man on the Howard team played excellent individual ball, but the team work was decidedly off on account of lack of coaching. Coach Batson has turned out by far the best team that ever represented Owenton. The men are fast, make excel lent interference and take advantage of every weakness of their opponents.
 Following is the lineup of the two teams:

It had been the idea of the Navy coaches to retire the regulars as soon as possible fl a commanding lead had been estab- lished, so as to run no further chance of injuries when only a week remained be- fore the Army game, but so stitf was the work of the Virginians that no changes were made until the game was well into the second half At one stage of the game. early in the first half just before the visitors made their score.

ANTI.PASS HITS POLITICIANS
Hepburn Law Will Cost Stump Speak.
ers Half Million.
DIFFERENT UNDER NEW REGIME
Unti President Roosevelt Set His
Great Reform ia Motion Free
transportation was Usu-
ally Handed out.

The Hepburn law will cost the politicians
Of the country over SO0OnO. Formerly 1t
was the custom Of the railroads to issue
free transportation yearly to the amount
of about 81 $4,000, but this year all not
connected with the railroads will have to
pay their fares and 1t is figured this will
cost the politicians about $5OO,OOO.
The estimate Of $5OO.OOO for campaign
transportation is based upon the travelling
expenses of agents of the agricultural de-
partment of the government, which aggre-
gated $4,000 during the last fiscal year.
Their number is by no means as great as
the army of speakers and managers. who
will tour the country during the coming
political campaign. Some place the ex-
penses higher and figure that before the
campaign is ended each of the national
committees will have spent $4,000.
The free list of the railroads was very
much curtailcd on January /, 1905, i'm trunk
lire territory, and although the interstate
law did not apply In this state. the New
York Central stopped Issuing passes in
January, 1907, on the general principle
that it was in accordance with the spirit
of the law.
The statement has been made that the
late A. j. Cassatt, as president of the
fehlsElNdhld' was lflBhIehtu INTO MS anu
pass policy by the fear that President
Roosevelt would enforce a provision Of the
old law on the question of free transpor-
tation. That, however, says the New York
Commercial, is all nonsense, because in
the first place Mr.. Cassatt was not the
sort of man to be bluffed. and secondly it
is a fact well known among executive and
passenger traffic officers that no man was
more opposed to the pass business than
Mr.. Cassatt. 1t has been said that If the
New York Central and the Pennsylvania
systems had not set the example in adj
vance OF the enactment of the present law,
it would never have been passed in its
present shape and with many of its
drastic feature.
