Bidding for runs brought all the night or tripping" trolleymen to the barns yesterday afternoon and about all the day men around Monday night, It is unusual to have the runs put up for choice in midsummer, but 1t was thought the conditions demanded 1t. When the runs were bid for In May, some of the summer runs were not laid out, and as these have since gone into effect some of the men not long in the employ of the company were assigned to them. There was some dssatsfac- ton among the older men over this, and so they were given chance to take these shore runs.

FAIR HAVEN NEWS
Balloon Attracts Attention Trolleymen Bidding for Runs-Notes of
 Interest.

A balloon went over Fair Haven just after o'clock, Monday evening, and IL attracted no little attention. Although only gentle land breeze was blowing, up in the clouds many hundred feet above the surface of the earth, the air ship was sailing away at a great rate she's going twenty miles an hour if she is going one,' remarked an old sailor who was carried away with the speed of the air craft "No, she ain't." was the reply of his com panion. That airshlp ain't travelling any more than ten miles en hour. v There was a variety of opinion wheth- CT the airship was really l lis balloon With real live people on board, or one of the smaller hot air balloons. Tt must be one of those 'durragable' af- fairs that they have over In Paris" '" one man was led to say. And his companion who did not spell accord- ing to the new standard replied, you mean dirrigabe',' Little crowds of people assembled and were pointing up to the sky all around watching the stranger in the air. While 1t was not settled just what the airship really was because of it's high altitude, yet the general opinion seemed to be that 1t was real balloon on a long jour- ney When last seen, the course seemed to be taking the craft rather near the sound. Nothing more was heard about the airship yesterday and the matter was more of mystery than ever.

IOWA CITY. Ia, Sept. 2S.-CSpecial)-
With the four backs in a straight line, but
at a peculiar angle 10 the forwards and the
linemen completely shifted, Coach Catiin
has devised a new angle play which he
claims is different than anything ever in
vented by foot ball coaches. In last night s
practice the varsity practiced the new for
nation for an hour without letup.
The new play is bewildeTing to the spec
tator and few understood the PECULIAR at
rangement contriVed by the Hawkeye
coaches during the summer. The players
grew accustomed to their strange places
after a few minutes and though fumblins
was the rule the possibilities of the forma-
ton showed themselves before the men
trotted around the track and beat the way
back to the gym, a tired lot. ..
The first scrimmage Is scheduled for next
Saturday and then the new formation will
be given a thorough test against the fresh
men.
Seventy-five men reported last night,
thirty-five of these being first-year men.
The freshmen back field was composed Of
Wagner, quarterback; Ray Murphy, right
half; Hicks, fullback; and Ehret, an cid
State Normal star, left half. They will
make a strong showing Saturday. McDon-
aids work at quarter on the varsity was
a feature of the practice.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-According to the
official score OF the New York base ball

protested by the Chicago club, but Presi-
dent Pulliam denied tonight that he had
taken any action in the matter, as he can
not and will not do so until the case has
been presented to him in the regular form.
His official announcement tonight was a
denial Of a rumor that he had declared the
game a tie. Following is the statement:

PRACTICE AT HIGH SCHOOL
Foot Ball Squad shows Promise of
Being a winner.

The high school foot ball squad went
through It's first scrimmage practice of the
season last evening. A game is scheduled
for next Saturday with the Plattsmouth
High school and Coach Cherrington Is
working the men hard to form some sem
blance of a team. Saturday is a little early
In the season for a hard game, but the
managers decided to give the Ak-Sar-Ben
visitors a chance to see a good game.
Plattsmouth is reported to have a good
team, and IL is a sure thing the Omaha
boys will not have a w~alkaway.
The scrimmage last evening was a hard
and gruelling contest. The second squad was
given possession of the ball for the greater
part of the time, while the first bunch re-
ceived its initial instruction in defense.
Owing to the more open style of game
which will undoubtedly be played this sea
son Coach CherrinSton is giving the team
a new system of defense. At first the old
men were troubled in working the new way
and the second team had little trouble in
making distance. but toward the close of
practice the men became more accustomed
to the new method and held them consist
entity for downs.
The first squad has not been permanently
chosen, as there are a number. of candidates
who show up equally well for several of the
positions, and II Will be impossible to de-
termine which are the most c~capabIe until
they have been given a more. thorough
trial. Those composing the squad last even
ing were: Mckinley. Entriken, Nash, half
Thompson and Gardner, full; Lehmer and
Klopp, quarter: Howard and Payne, ends.
Wilson, Carlson and Andrus, tackles,
Fricke and Sears, guards: Caldwell, center,
Bowman and Reel at half on the second
squad were the surprises of the afternoon,
making repeated gains through the line
and around the end.
Coach Cherrington expressed himself as
we'll satisfied with the afternoons work, for
although the playing was far from being
perfect, yet, considering that II was the
first scrimmage of the season, Ii was good
The students are enthusiastic over the out,

the unexpected happenedY Is Ames at
last to have a man who can help win its
victories via the goal-post air route as
well as by touchdowns? The surprise does
not hail from the squad of newcomers,
but he Is a man who played on the sub

accurate kicking that he can put them over

the different men were kept in but a
short time until they were replaced by
new ones. II this hot weather continues
the game with Morningside will be a wear
ing one.
During the. first ten minutes of scrim-
mage, the varsity went over the line for
a touchdown, but during the rest of the
play the advantage was about even. The
Lambert boys made some pretty gains,
hut the forward passes were all big fail
ures. either touching the ground before the
varsity men could reach them or falling
into the arms Of some waiting scrub. The
varsity men got through the line Tor some
pretty tackles, but failed to make any
gains by line smashing.
Sioux Jones is bringing out some good
material from the scrubs. Another new
nan appeared on the scene today by the
name Of Vincent. He played fullback and
made big gains through the varsity line.
Shields at light half also went through
the line for several yards. There were one
or two good tackles made behind the var
sity line. The truth of the matter is that
there is almost as much weight on the
scrub side of the line as there is on the
varsity side and most of the gains are
made around the ends.
