RIGHT ON EDGE
Plays Fnst-CIass Foot Ball
and Shuts Out East
ern Lads.

The Eastern High School team was
completely outclassed oy the boys from
Western yesterday afternoon in the an
nual game of the two institutions of the
high school championship series. when
the latter rolled up a score of 35 to 0.
The Capitol Hill boys were carried COM
pletely off their feet by the rushes of the
boys from across the creek Guy, at
the quarterback position, led his team in
fine style. He called on all Of the back
field men of the Red and White for runs
and all responded. making the gains on
nearly every down.
Eastern showed up well in the early
part of the game. before the Western
team made it's first touchdown, but after
that went to pieces, and the winners
carried everything before them. During
the early stage Eastern carried the bali
to the 20-yard line on runs by Dom,
Smith, Weaver and Parker, but just when
there was a chance to score the ball was
fumbled and Western got II and then
started off to make scores from this
period.
Larner, May and Stone. on the back
field, carried the ball we'll for the win
ners and rarely failed to make their dis
tance. Stone had his kicking toe In work
ing order and added fine points to his
teams total by kicking goals. All of the
line men for Western showed up strong
and when the game was well In hand the
substitutes were given a tryout.

HARD BATTLE HERE.
Neither Syracuse Nor Michigan Con-
fident Of Winning.

ANN ARBOR. Mich, October 90
Neither Michigan nor Syracuse suffered
from over-confidence before the second
foot ball game between the two UNIVERSE
ties today on Ferry Field. Memories of
the decisive defeat Syracuse administered
to the Michigan team last season may
have assisted in developing the caution
of Michigan predictions. Coach Jones Of
Syracuse laid much emphasis on the fact
that his men were inexperienced and said
this would tell against them.
Coach Yost commented: I'VE know
practically nothing about Syracuse, but
the visitors are said to be 100 per cent
stronger than they were last year Some
Of their veterans have been crowded to
the side lines by new men That GER
tainly means something
Foot ball sharps expected the game to
show the relative merits of the Yale
coaching system as compared with those
of Yost An old Yale player himself.
Coach Jones is said to have received
much assistance from Yale in developing
his men.
The Syracuse foot ball squad was
brought out from Detroit In a special car
in time to have luncheon here.
The weather conditions were perfect for
the game. Thousands OF people from all
over Michigan arrived In Ann Arbor on
special trains during the morning. Fol-
lowing is the line-up:

IMPORTANT FOOT BALL
BATTLES ON TODAY

Good things on today's schedule are
numerous and include the HarvardWest
Point. Princeton-Navy. 3. Pennsylvania
Carlisle, Syracuse-Michigan and Cornell
Williams games. Also will be played
one of the most important games in the
west, Chicago VS.. Minnesota. which for
really big game comes nappropriately
.arly in the season. The Harvard-Army
contest will furnish the first of the com
mon opponents for Harvard and Yale.
Yale having defeated the Army II to q
two weeks ago. AS bearing on the com
parative strength of Harvard and Yale,
the size of the. score made by Harvard
TODAY won't count much the way
Harvard does it. Another factor to be
considered will be the general condition
of the West Point material today as
compared to that for the Yale game.
There are more influences than one to
be reckoned i'm these affairs.
Pennsylvania trip to the country in
dictates that the Quakers regard this as
their most severe game to date The
fact that the Indians nearly always are
better against them than anybody else
makes them anxious. The game put up
by the Indians against Pittsburg a week
ago does not presage danger for the
Quakers today, but as it was played in
mud and rain. conditions which never
suit the Indians, Pennsylvania does not
think it the best the red men can do.
Then again the Indians are expected to
cut loose with all they have this after
noon.
The schedule follows:
George Washington VS.. Ursinus, at
American League Park.
Harvard VS.. Army, at West Point.

DIFFERENCES SETTLED

CINCINNATI, October 3O.-All the diff
ferences existing between President w.
Charles Murphy Of the Chicago National
League base ball club and Chairman Au-
gust Hermann Of the national base ball
commission have been smoothed over by
the diplomacy of Charles p. Taft
While President Murphy claims to own
s. per cent of the Chicago club, yet Mr..
Taft still retains a tWenty-fve-per-cent
interest. Therefore, when the dispute be-
tween Murphy and Hermann over the
purchase of Pfeffer of the Toronto club
and Cole of the Bay City club by
Murphy recently became SO acute that the
National commission criticised Murphy
in strong language. Mr.. Taft arranged to
have conference in his Office here.
The Chicago magnate and Hermann
shook hands and renewed old friendships
as a result of the meeting. However,
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. fine imposed by
International commission against the Chi
cago club over the Pfeffer matter stands.
and also Murphy, must pay $500 for
Cole.

BAD ACCIDENT IN
CHASE At P|Ml|C0
Defiance Falls Over Jump,
Breaks Shoulder and
Is Shot.

BALTIMORE. Md, October 30.-There
has been hard luck in steeplechases at
Pimlico this meeting, but II reached a
climax yesterday when Mr.. Ivan FoX's
good prospect, Defiance, fell over the I'M
lucky thirteenth jump and broke his
shoulder. The horse had to be shot to
death.
Defiance was by Jim Gore-Blase o. He
was an excellent promise. He showed well
in his schooling at Pimlico and only had
started in few races
Another scare was given when it was
reported that Jockey Hinchcliff. who had
ridden into the show place IN the second
race and had ridden NJ T. Green in the
third race. had fallen in the jockey room.
Doctors were there, and said he was not
in danger, but was weak from overtrain-
ing.
Jockey McCahey, in attempting to rush
German Silver through at the bend of the
homestretch. was interfered with and the
horse fell. McCahey was shaken up, but
not badly hurt. He will ride again this
meeting.
Aside from these accidents the racing
was most interesting. The attendance
was above the average for Friday. In
fact, the attendance at this meeting has
been larger generally than at any pre-
vious one.
The first race had eight carded to start.
Trainer J. Coleman failed to have Kill
derkin in the paddock on time and the
horse was disqualified by Paddock Judge

Whenever the queen made demand for a slice of territory, payment of indemnity or any such matter the ann bassador would say in soft voice: Your majesty's modesty in your de- mands Is what is to be expected from woman of such loveliness. shall advise my sovereign to double the amount you claim."
 There was no difficulty in making a treaty on such terms, and the queen closed the negotiations, delighted with the envoy. Then the treaty was sent to the other sovereign interested for confirmation. and the ambassador, obliged to wait for an answer. re- turned to his apartments.
 That night the queen heard a voice singing in the ambassadors wing, ac- companied by Il guitar. It seemed to her that it was the voice of an angel. She listened till the song had ended dd0y uOl ltdilllS nlOIC, SCnl N ICQucSt for the singer to resume. He did so, and Margaret went to bed filled with the most entrancing thoughts.
 The next day on inquiry she learned that the singer was the ambassador She asked him to sing to her. but he excused himself, saying that the spirit of music came to him only in accord ance with its own sweet will. It came, however, on balmy nights from pleas ant distance and sounded especially sweet when the moon cast it's soft light over the palace and the grounds in which it stood. Queen Margaret al- ways listened to 1t sitting at her bed room window and continued under its spell long after it had ceased. Gradu- ally the singer and the song became one. Of the homely body nothing re- mained, but from the ambassadors eyes the queen saw spiritual body of transcendent beauty, a soul that seemed to beckon her to higher. holier existence.
 Meanwhile during the day, there be- ing no treaty to talk about, the queen began to speak to the ambassador about her affairs. Never had she heard such wisdom. such farsighted sugges- tons. He told her that such queen as she would be blessing to every people, but in all kingdoms there was low grade work that only coarse na- tured men could properly perform.

 Queen Margaret Caroline Frances Josephine Stephanie Lucille Eulalie de Raganza succeeded to the throne at twenty under the title of Margaret III. From her earliest childhood she had shown an independent disposition. In these times she would be suffragette. for she believed not only in women having voice in the government but in their governing Scarcely had she been proclaimed when she startled her people by calling for the resignation of the cabinet and filling the places made vacant with women.
 The queen filled other offices with women and the men were stand ing about, holding their hands. Then, fat political job being given to wo- man, the men thought it time to bestir themselves. They sent the most ac- complished, handsomest and most se- ductive men to the queen on one pre- text or another, hoping through her heart to attain their ends. But the queen saw through their designs and laughed at them.
 One day knot of politicians hungry for plunder were discussing the situa- ton when little, half deformed, home ly man said to them: If you will back me up 1 will go to the queen and accomplish those things you desire. All l want is suit of fine clothes"
 A shout of laughter greeted his offer. Then some one suggested that for a joke it be accepted.
 Not long after this the queen re- ceived message that special am- bassador from neighboring sovereign had arrived with a view to making n treaty.
 Margaret expected to see a man of imposing appearance and, being some what timorous of such men, steeled herself to meet him. She was sur prised to see man barely i've feet three inches high, with long arms and legs and slight curve in his back. Nevertheless his head was large, and he possessed one feature of remarka- ble beauty and intelligence-his eye.
