BALTIMORE, Md, November 2s.-The
NJ Street High School Of Washington de-
feated the Baltimore High School at
Union Park this afternoon. II to g. The
game was-a good example of modern foot
ball, most of the gains being made by
forward passes and wide end runs. The
first touchdown was made by Bacon, who
carried the ball over after eight minutes
Of play in the first half. The second half
was a punting game, with the ball most
ly in the Baltimore High Schools terri

touchdown in the last five minutes Of
play after magnificent forward pass,
which brought the ball from the center
Of the field to the 2J-yard line. Bacon
dashed around right end and planted the
ball fairly between the goal posts. Ship

FAST MILES RUN THIS YEAR.
Fern L. Equaled the Worlds Record
of 1877 2-5 at Seattle.

So far the mile record has not been
broken this year. but it was equaled by
Fern l.. at Seattle not long ago. AS the
Oakland track has been greatly improved
and the Santa Anita track is probably the
fastest in the world. ii is possible that
new figures for the distance will be hung
up by some of the remarkably fast horses
that will race on the coast this winter
The record OF miles run in 1.30 or better
this year is as follows:

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, November Do
Nineteen OF the stakes to be- run at Los
Angeles this winter have shown a total
of GAS horses This would indicate that
there will be no lack of interest in the
fixtures at Santa Anita. 1t is noticeable
that the races for two-yearolds have
met the best response and every indca-
ton is that the colony of new youngsters
will be a particularly large one.

The foot ball captains for the next year
have yet to be chosen at Eastern, West

easily be predicted on the gridiron next

considerable care in choosing the right

these men will be elected in the next

.BEYERIDGE TO PRESS
CHILD LABOR BILL
Indiana Senator Plans to Get
Action on Measure at
Early Date.

Senator Beveridge's bill to prevent
child labor probably will be rhreshed out
to a conclusion this session OF Congress.
It will be taken up as soon as the ses-
sion opens by the Senate COMMITTEES on
Education and Labor. OF which Senator
Deliver IS chairman. and will ~ uons
into carefully. 1t is the expectation the
committee viii make a report on the
bill one way or another.
Before the last session closed. Senator
Beverage got an agreement that the
committee IN question should consider
his child labor bill at lhe opening OF
upon Il. He obtained this agreement
by threatening 10 press for i'm
mediate consideration of the bill unless
he could get assurances Of prompt con-
sideratiou in the short session.
The child labor question as raised by
Senator Beverage has been one of the
/ big ones before Congress for two or
three years. 1t has caused q vast
3 amount Of discussion among members
[ of Senate and House. and much discus
sion outside Of Congress-.
Senator Beveridge's bill Is intended to
prohibit interstate carriers from trans
porting or accepting for transportation
The products Of any factory or mine In
which children under fourteen are en-
{ plOyed or permitted TO work. A great
uprOar against the proposition has gone
up from some of the States where child
/ labor is largely employed. particularly
/ from the South.
Senator Beveridge is. expected to APP
pear before the committee and urge a
I favorable report on his bill. Whether
he will get one is doubtful Since the
! plan was preached, 1t has been vigor-
ousiv fought by the constitutional law
yers Of the Senate, and they do not ap-
pear to be getting any more friendly
TO it.
The Committee on Education and
Labor has another bill before It that has
attracted considerable notice This j.
the measure to establish a bureau in
the Department OF the Interior for the
study OF the criminal, pauper. and de-
fective classes.
