HARVARD
MILITARY ACADEMY ELEVEN
TO PLAY HOLLYWOOD TEAM
rsnecial to The Herald. ]

HOLLYWOOD. Oct. 16.-The third
football game of the season will be
played in Hollywood tomorrow, where
the home boys will buck up against the
California military academy eleven.
Hollywood high has a clear record thus
far this season, having defeated the
Occidental freshmen, to 0, and the
crack Harvard team by the score of IL
to 6. Tomorrow's contest will not be
a scheduled league contest, however,
but the home boys hope to carry off
the game by big score.
Last year the high school defeated
the California military boys by the one
sided score of So to 0. The Saturday
contest will undoubtedly be fast one,
for the visiting team has received a
great deal of new material this year.
The Hollywood lineup for the gaIAe
will be as follows: Ends, James, A.
Hill and Lewis; tackles, Bushnell, A.
Hill and Peters; guards, Grass, Tenn
pie, Smith; center. Priester; right half,
Spencer; left half, Tuller; full. Steph-
ems; quarter, Captain Taylor.

Unbeaten Fair Play and
PrisclIIian In Bunch
[By Associated Press. ]

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-The plans of
the shipment to England of Harry
Payne Whitney's American racing sta
BILE have been completed, and today
twenty-three head were loaded on the
Atlantic transport line steamer Mime
haha, in readiness for sailing Saturday.
The selection of horses was made by
A. j. Joyner, trainer of the Whitney
stable, who will have charge of the
horses en- voyage to England and will
train them after their arrival there.
The horses that are to make the
voyage are chiefly yearlings, sixteen
of the number being material for q
year-old races in 1909. The older horses
are Delacy and Baby Wolf, intended
for use as trial horses, the 3-year- old
Stamina, and the 2-year-olds Bobbin,
Perseus, Field Daisy and Hillside.
The stable will take it's old staff of
grooms and exercise boys and the
American blacksmith to shoe the
horses, but no arrangement has yet
been made for an American jockey.
With the Whitney horses will go
Priscillian and Anteus of August Bel
mont's stable, and Fair Play, another
of the Belmont horses, which will be
left behind to race at Belmont park on
Saturday, will be shipped to England
later to join the tablishment.

Some time ago the manager of the
Columbia team signified his intention
of canceling the suspension placed on
McCarty, providing he would return the
advance money he received several
years ago. With McCarty free and the
difficulty with the national committee
removed, it is thought that the Column

California football world. The lineups
of the teams will be as follows:

F. J. Townsend, coach for the Santa
Monica high school eleven, requests The
Herald to announce that his team is
open for a game with any team whose
weight is In the neighborhood of 1856
pounds. Managers can get in touch
with the beach boys by communicating
with Townsend or Hugh Berkeley,
manager of the team.
The second football team of the Los
Angeles high school will be given its
first opportunity to show what 1t can
do next Saturday, when it will be sent
against the team from the Harvard
Military school at the latter's oval.
In scrimmages against the high
schools regular team the second squad
has shown up to advantage, and is ex-
pected to give a good account of itself.
If the second team loses to the military
lads 1t will not be due to lack of atten-
tion on the part of the coach, who,
aided by Captain Tom Cohn, has had
the team out on the field every day for
the past two weeks, running them
through signals in addition to pitting
them against the first team. The team

TIE REPUBLICANS Make MERRY
Rally Thursday Night Ends with Sur
per at the E,alitorium.

The republicans of WaXahachie
and vicinity were too busily engaged
Thursday night feasting on turkey
and cranberries at the Eatitorium
to take note of the hungry look y
democrats who CHANGED to gaze
upon the merrymakers. The affair
was carefully planned as to details
and everything was conducted in a
manner to leave no doubt as to the
enthusiasm displayed by the faith
full members of the G. 0. p, over the
recent election of William Howard
Taft to the presidency. The supper
came as climax to & rally held earl
Ter in the evening in the county court
room.
The meeting was not as largely
attended as had been expected. but
those present gave vent to their exu-
berance by literally applauding the
speakers of the evening. Those who
spoke were Rev r. F. Wilkins, w.
B. Franks. county chairman; Maj. E.
II. Griffin and w. A. Martin. They
discussed political issues and con-
graduated the country upon the
election of Mr.. Taft
At the conclusion of the speech
making G. w. Marshall, master of
ceremonies, announced that supper
was ready to be served Tickets to
the banquet room were then distrib-
uted and when it was found that
enough were not present to sit at the
| fifty places a committee was appoint
ed to invite their friends. The tables
were soon filled and the banqueters
did ample justice to the spread. j.
| T. Williams, proprietor Of the Eati-
| torium, personally directed the SER
vice which was par excellence.
Before the rally adjourned dhe
! following resolutions were adopted:
To George Washington Marshall,
| chairman of the republican club,and
republicans of Ellis county, in
mass meeting assembled in the city
of Waxahachie, Texas:
Be it resolved by the club and the
, republicans of said county, that it is
the sense of said meeting that our
state chairman, Cecil A. Lyon, call
at an early date the republicans Of
4, the state of Texas at some central
place for the purpose of discussing
all matters pertaining to the well
| fare and growth Of the party, We
believe by this method that enough
good men can be brought to the
front to capture the state in 1910.
We Congratulate the Hon. John N
Simpson and all Of the ticket in the
recent battle in the state, and we be-
lieve that the good work done by
them will bring forth abundant
good, believing now that the way
has been paved for victory in 1910.
| Be 1t further resolved that We,
| the republicans, renew and pledge
| our support to the work.
Resolved, that we believe in the
election of the Hon. William Taft
| the country Is to be congratulated.

That veteran and untiring booster
and builder, Editor Thompson of the
Denison Herald had TO say In recent
issue of that paper;
"The Idea originated by the city
commission by which ii is possible
for property owners TO construct
SIDEWALKS and pay for them on the
easy payment plan. makes ii possible
for practically every property owner
to build a permanent sidewalk. There
is no question but that the construc-
ton of such a walk enhances the
value of the property all or more
than its costs. The people of Denison
owe It to themselves and to the
town to build sidewalks"
Denison is governed by a commits
sion and If its commission has orig
mated the means by which property
owners can build sidewalks on an
nors have done it a service of in
estinlable value.
We are absolutely sure that good
sidewalks will enhance the selling
values of homes in every civilized
community.
Good sidewalks are to the town
and cities of Texas what good roads
are to the country, the towns and
the cities
We have always believed and in
sisted that it is the duty of property
holders twhen it is practicable for
sidewalks, and the duty of the city
to provide suitable and safe and
sound streets
Any scheme proposed that enables
the citizens of town or city to con-
struct sidewalks and pay for same
on easy terms Is a distinct benefac-
ton to the people in need of and
having such sidewalks to construct.
1t is, we are sure, fortunate for
benson lnat III mas commission
form of government that is so simple
in its machinery as to enable this
simple rule to be worked there
Simplicity of governmental ma
chinery is a benefit of surprising
worth to the masses under any and
all conditions and circumstances. -
