campaign today, William Randolph
Hearst. running for the second time
Independently, closed his campaign at
Madison Square Garden, where he was
cheered for thirty-two minutes. The
cheering was spontaneous and en-
thusiastic It broke with a great roar
as Hearst entered the hall, and in
creased with swelling volume as he
made a difficult progress through the
crowded aisles, escorted by two police
men. Women threw their shawls from
the balconies, men tossed their hats In
the air and every inch of bunting in the
hall was a-fiutter.
In his speech Hearst summed up the
issues on which he has made his cam
paign and upon which Greater New
York will vote on Tuesday. Refrain
ing from criticism of his rivals. he
said in part:

THREE DEATHS ON
GR|D|RON START
WAR ON FOOTBALL
Army-Navy Contest Called OFF,
and Sport Ended at West
Point for Season.

The deaths of three players from
injuries received in football games
last Saturday. the serious injury of
three other men, while a fourth
player, Quarterback Wilson, Of the An
napolis team, has been lying almost
at the point of death for two
weeks as the result of an injury, seems
bound to again raise the question Of
whether this sport should be abolished,
at least In the colleges. Already the
agitation, has been started to do away
with the game. or at least to have It
modified SO as to eliminate the danger
What the outcome will be can only be
surmised at this time.
As the result of the death of Cadet
Eugene c. Byrne, of West Point, from
injuries in the Harvard game Satur-
day. football has been called off at the
Military Academy for the rest of this
season. An announcement has been
sent out by Superintendent Scott, of the
academy to the Annapolis Naval
Academy, and asking that the game
between West Point and Annapolis,
scheduled at Philadelphia on November
q, be cancelled. Annapolis will agree
to this proposal.
In ADDITION to Byrne's death. Michael
Burke. student of the Medical Chirur-
gical College. Of Philadelphia, and Roy
Spybuck. an Indian student Of Haskell
University, died from injuries received
in games Saturday.
While the agitation against the game
was at once started by the old oppo-
nents Of the sport. its defenders have
come just as quickly to it's support
Dispatches today from many of the
college centres say that no effort will
be made to end the game. In view of
the prominence given the dangers OF
the sport by the recent fatalities the
agitation, pro and con, promises to con-
tinue vigorously during the remainder
of the football season.

FIFTH CAVALRY
BEAT MARINES
Fifth Cavalry. 9: Marines. 6.

The question is, will the Marines and
Fifth Cavalry play off the tie for sec
ond places Yesterday afternoon at
Leilehua these two teams had one
grand game for ten innings, followed
by big balloon ascension in the
eleventh on the part of the Marines.
Aided by a couple of swats and as
many errors by the Marines, those
saddle-baggers knocked out six runs
in one inning and handed it to the
Marines by to 6.
AT the end of the eighth inning it
was 3 to ? in favor of the home nine,
but the half-wets came through with
| run In the second half of the ninth
! and tied the score. In the tenth in
ming both teams went out one, two,
| three, but, when the Cavalry came up
| for the last inning, they proceeded to
! do things.
! Butler was the first at bat and he
! bingled. Then came that big Lieu
/ tenant Hansen.@ Now, Gibson, who was
| pitching for the Marines, had been
on the lookout for Hansen because he
has the reputation of being the boss
F! swatter of the team. Up to that time
| he had kept him from even hitting the
| ball, but the big man with the bat
| found Gibson this time and handed out
| a scratch hit that took him to first and
! sent Butler to second
| Then there was a big runfest by the
| Fifth players. This was not stopped
until six of their men had crossed the
| plate. The Marines could do nothing
in the second half of the inning and
the Cavalry won the game and tied
with the Marines for second place in
the Military League. There is some
talk of a privately arranged match to
decide who shall take second place, but
nothing has yet been definitely decided.
The line-ups and runs made were:
! Fifth Cavalry Sheppard, b., /;
Groninger, 3D., L; Walters, S., 0; But

tanned by that famous Dom Paul, the
Boer kid, has absorbed the interests of
the All-Hawam team in the league and
this will be passed on and fixed up at
a meeting to be held at John F. Sylvia s
house next Wednesday evening
The second game between the High
lands and Reach team was highly ex-
citing affair. The former eventually
won by to after ten innings. The
feature of the afternoon was the ex-
cellent fielding by the Reach team
They made no less than three double
plays and the work of shortstop and
second baseman to first and some of
the long throws from third to first were
simply great
At the end of the ninth inning the
score stood ) to s. The Trademarks
went in first but were disposed of quite
easily in the tenth. Then the Kilties
butted up to the bat and had a run
scored before any of their batters went
down. This victory put them in the
lead and, although they have played
one game less than those victorious
Reach swatters, they take the lead in
the series.

FORT SKATER
FINALLY WINS

forJ smarter, D; N. u. IL, 5.
Tt was a sad business and this is
how Sergeant Barry tells about it:
"Our boys were up at the mystic hour
of before breakfast to get down on
the range and shoot. They worked
hard at that and then the Fort Shafter
bunch took us all in to feed. Now,
say, don't forget to tell about that
dinner. You talk about your hospital
ity, why those Twentieth fellows have
the word backed out of the dictionary.
Old Man Webster wouldn't have a
chance to describe what that word
means after he had filled himself up
with bunch of that turkey and cram
berry sauce we had.
"Do it on purpose to make US too
heavy to play ball9 What are you
talking about9 Don't you know that
every National Guardsmen that ever
missed the target on the range can eat
for six hours and then play ball as
though he were in training. Go on.
''But / was not sore on our fellows.
They were really tired and any talk
about their giving the game away is
all rot of the fereest description. You
may take it from me that the In
fantry team is made up of the best
bunch of workers in the military league.
You remember that little poem about
the man who smiles?
Tt 5 easy enough to be pleasant,
When life goes by like a song;
But the man worth while
Is the guy who can smile
When everything goes dead wrong.
"And that is the Twentieth bunch.
They have worked hard no matter how
many times they got beaten and they
certainly deserved the victory they
won. But the N g. H. team is still
there and, if there is another military
league series started, we expect to have
more practise. -
The winners made their best doings
in the sixth inning In this period
they made four runs which added to
the one they had made in the third,
gave them an easy victory. The fielding
and general playing of the Guards was
not up to snuff by any means. The
day was hot and the boys were tired
with the nerve-raeking business of the
morning. A man cannot go down to
the butts and shoot all the morning,
with every sense keyed up to the high
est pitch. and then play good bali in
the afternoon But that must not de-
tract from the credit coming to the
| great old roadpounders for winning out
in the last game of the series.
