the game out of the hre yesterday at

the ball but a foot from CentraIs goal.
Eastern showed it across only 10 re

It remained for one Of the final games
and one of the least important as far as
the standing counts for the high school
series TO develop a close and hard
fought contest. Yesterdays skirmish
was all that and then some, and was
easily the most interesting game from
the spectators standpoint yet played
during the scholastic season.
While both teams played ragged ball
at times, there was no let-up in the
lighting spirit at any stage. Central
was outpIayed in the first half, but It
was a toss up IN the second. and the
O Streeters' victory hangs on a very
slender margin. indeed
For all that, Central showed marked
improvement over any of its previous

thing is football here today, and thou
sands are gathering at Osborne Field
where the Tigers clash with Yale in their
annual game on the gridiron. The bet
ting on the result became brisk this
morning with odds 10 8 favoring the
sons Of Eli.
Strange to say, after the night Of cele-
bratiOn and reVelry, where old college
mates met for the first time in years
and where everyone was a fellow well
met and clapped one another on the
back with all the ardor OF college days,
and expressed sympathy for the eleven
that was to face the Eli bull dog this
afternoon, the morning hours seemed
Tigers might possibly beat their New
Haven rivals after al.
Unexplained Confidence.
There was some undercurrent Of feel
ing that no one could explain that gave
heart to the Wearers of the orange and
black. The night before the quoted odds
were TO on Yale, but there was
sudden and surprising change early In
the day, and many Princeton men wag-
cred good sized sums at 10 6 on the
Tigers. But that was before the trains
brought Ia the great army OF Eli sup
pOrteTs and then the odds shifted again
TO To g.
one prominent New Yorker with Tiger
pTOCliVities left a roll of $500 at the Mas
sau Inn to bet at the best odds that
could be secured, and at even money if
necessary
Some few wagers were made at to
5, with the Ellis having the call. but
when the great influx Of the Wearers Of
the blue put IN an appearance there
was an immediate change, and so much
Yale money was in sight that the odds
soon changed TO TO and when Prince
ton became coy the same ola odds Of s
to carried the bulk OF the money. and
these were the prevailing odds as the
crowd started for Osborne Field.
Will Use Open Game
1t has been announced that the Tigers
will play an open game, and that means
that the straight football the eleven has
played constantly since the opening Of
the season viii be substituted for the
up-tO-date game that includes the for
ward pass outside, made kicks and other
inside work. That the Tigers are very
strong on defensive work IS an omen
secret here, and that their attacks have
been held back is also a matter of talk
on the street corners. Just what Head
Coach Roper has up his sleeve is d
great mystery
Osborne Field has a seating CAPACITY

N. & |. LOSES TAX CASE
and MUST PAY $l,403.85
Did Not Report All Its Earnings.
Court Orders Judgment for
the State.

St. Paul, April 3.-Judge Lewis
yesterday filed his decision in the
case of the state against the Mime
sofa & International Railroad com
pany, granting judgment for the
plaintiff in the sum of $1,4O3.85.
The action was brought to recover a
portion of the gross earnings tax
for the three years 1899 to 1904, in
elusive. The defendant contended
that the income over which con-
troversy arose was exempt from taxa
ton as it was not derived from the
operation of the railroad.
The court finds that during the
period mentioned the defendant
failed to furnish a true return of all
its gross earnings for taxation in
that 1t failed to report the gross re-
ceipts derived from loading logs
from the water to the cars, on which
service the earnings amounted to
$64,069.15, and upon which there is
due tax of $1,277.92.
