Care of Curtains.

When the curtains are taken down

be expended upon them, for they are
not only difficult to replace, but they
are the most annoying things in the
world to make for the particular win

The heavy ones should, OF course.
be folded lengthwise in half and laid
fat, particularly if they are OF velvet.

Game at New Haven Saturday
for Championship.

Two Great Elevens.

Virtues of the Teams.
An Eastern Expert Is Unable

BOTH ARE UNBEATEN

Boston, Mass. Nov 20-Two great
football elevens will contest for the
eastern championship next Saturday
afternoon on Yale field. To those who
saw Harvard start in the second half
against Dartmouth and win in the last
few minutes of play the Crimson team
looked good enough to defeat any team.
1t was much the same story on Uni
versity field in Princeton. To critical
spectators who saw Yale's disorganized
team of stars beaten in the first half,
get together and win a victory by a
substantial margin in the second half
the wearers of the Blue seemed to pos
sess an irresistible power that no ag-
gregation on earth could stop.
Harvard came through the game in
excellent condition. 1t would seem that
Princeton took a great deal more out
of Yale than Dartmouth did from Har-
ward. 1t was announced last week that
if Yale'S players were worked to the
limit to win they would go up the Hud-
son to recuperate. If not, they were to
return to New Haven and keep at work
for the Harvard game. Yale has gone
up the Hudson, which may mean much
or little. Yale will have to play a great
deal better football Saturday than she
did in beating Princeton to win from
Harvard. Undoubtedly she will play
better for the team has found itself.
1t was individual football at first that
Princeton met. When the team found
itself and prof1ted by the liberal side
line coaching it was a typical Yale
team. The usual result followed.
If Harvard is as successful in work
ing the forward pass as she was
against Dartmouth it may mean Yale
defeat. Yale was unable to diagnose
Princeton's forward passes and onside
kicks In time to get to the ball She
will have to do great deal better on
her own field. Especially puzzling to
Yale was the diagonal onside kick.
The Princeton backfield usually ran to
the right on the play as if for a fast
end run by Tibbott, bringing over the
Yale secondary defense. Just before
the runner was tackled he kicked low
and hard diagonally across the line and
at least two Princeton men were ready

RUMOR IS DENIED.
st. Paul Lines Will Not Merge to Issue
Bonds.

New York, Nov. 20.-Denial was
made today by Roswell Miller, chair
man of the board of directors of the
Chicago, Milwaukee e. st. Paul rail-
way of the rumored intention to
merge the various companies in South
Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Wash
ington, which are building the st.
Paul's extension to the Pacific coast
and to issue against this new line ana
its equipment $1OO.OOO,OO0 in bonds.
Mr. Miller said: There is absolutely
no truth in the story. The st. Paul
road has no intention of authorizing
an issue of any bonds against the lines
being built through to the coast.
According to the company's officials,
the new line will be opened and run
ming all the way to Puget Sound for
freight business before JULY 1 next.
The line to Butte is already running
for freight business and for local pas
senger traffic but no through passenger
business has been inaugurated.

president of the New York Central

serious opposition will develop to the

likely that the railway men will sum-
marize the arguments which have been
made from time to time in favor of in
creaSes, and it is expected that little
opposition will develop, provided the av-
erage increase is no more than 3 per

Mr.. Brown also declared that if the
proposed rate increases are not oppoS-

try, expenditures for equipment and

MUsKOGEE IN WESTERN Asso.
According to Classic Line of Dope

Muskogee, Nov. 2O.-It's all the goods

ed at the front door in a big red care
less cart There's no more to it than
MabeIs sheath now for all the latest
dope is strictly to the merry widow
waltz. Bugtown is going to have a
ball team next spring, in the Western
association, too, that's going to make
the chances of the others look as
cheap as four cents worth of calico on
a Friday bargain counter at a fire
sale in Taft.
G. E. Dalrymple, who hits the ball
harder than Willie at college hits
papa for money, was chosen yester-
day to do the wise whispers on the
coaching line and to perform as man
ager in all other ways. Dal has sung
the lullaby in the spotlight before the
bugs of Springfield, Webb City, Guth-
rie, Tacoma, Santa Barbara and 9TH
er S. r. o. towns on the baseball cir
cult. Muskogee's chances of gather
ing in that win flag will be about as
thin next year as Bill Taft after a
Sunday dinner and about as poor as
John D. Rockefeller on pay day.
Dal is all to the joy talk on the
prospects. He says he knows a short
stop that is faster than the color of
his hose, a first baseman that ham
dies himself in such form that Anna
Held would shed tears of jealousy if
she but saw him, that he has his
lamps trimmed on catcher who
could even stop Bryan talking, a
bunch of fielders that are regular fly
paper and some pitchers of the class
that can throw anything from an out
drop to a county election. His whole
team is going to be faster than New
York's swell society.
A meeting will be held at Webb
City on the gath of this page on the
calendar and then it will be definitely
decided that Muskogee goes into the

Yale here showed a weakness in ability
to break it up. She will have to pay
attention to this in her signal work up

These two plays were strong assets for
Princeton.
Probably Harvard will be able to
penetrate Yale's line by her present at
