that Bryan Morse was quarterback on

PLEBES CANCEL.
Georgetown Freshmen Disappointed
by Action Of Middies.

After completing all the preliminary
arrangements for holding a gridirOn bat
tie against the Georgetown freshmen a
week from Wednesday. at Annapolis. the
Navy plebes have found that it will be
impossible for them to secure permission
to use the field in the afternoon, and
hence. since the Blue and Gray team
cannot play in the morning. 1t has been
found necessary to cancel the game. Man
ager Kosuth OF the future admirals made
this announcement to Manager Graham
of the locals In a communication received
by the latter yesterday.
Inasmuch as the Hilltoppers have al
ready made great preparations for the
trip, the cancellation of the game comes
as a big disappointment The players
were all getting into good condition. and
not a man on the team thought that
the plebes could win out. 1t Is probable
that another contest will be looked for.
as the freshmen are very anxious to
try their skill with an outside eleven.

class championship. IL possible. one Of
the local high schools will be listed for
a game while there Is also q chance that
a challenge will be sent to the Virginia

DREYFUss FOR HEYDLER.
Pirates Mouthpiece Declares in Ma
tional Presidents Favor.

PITTSBURG. Pa. November S.-F'rom
an article printed in yesterdays Press. a
paper owned by a stakeholder OF the
Pittsburg ball club. and which has been
considered the Official organ of Barney
Dreyfuss. it is inferred that the Pitts
burg club will fight tooth and nail for the
reelection of President Heydler at the
coming National League meeting. Be-
sides advocating the retention of Heydler
at the head of the league, the paper pays
it's attention to Garry Hermann, who
leads the opposition to Heydler. in the
following words:
Garry Hermann probably opposes
Hydler because the latter is not what is
generally termed mixer In other
words, Heydler is too much of a business
man TO suit the Redland German. He
proved that during the recent world $
series when the National League exec
utive was the only member of the ma
tional commission-balldom mighty tri-
umvirate-who was always on the job.

phia. Chicago will have two represen-
tatives, George Sutton and Calvin
Demarest Firmin Cassignol will uphold

names are familiar to all followers OF
the game. The Americans in the tourna-
ment have either won championships or
been close runners up. Cassignol Is the
leading blliardist of France. He Is now
on his way to this country and will ar
rive Wednesday.
BY the end of this week practically all
of the players will be here practicing
for the championship series. Cassignol
will do his preparatory work at one OF
the local academies, as will Sutton. The
westerner Is expected this week. Cline
will likely do most of his practice work
in Philadelphia.
SloSson, Demarest and Cutler are at
present in New York. SlOsson Is play
ing as good a game as he ever played
in his life, and the student is being
watched in his daily practice in his own
academy by a crowd of admirers. who

for 200 points. subject to the playing
rules governing at present the 49, baik-

THREE GAMES ADDED.
Georgetown Basket Ball Schedule
Augmented by Good Contests.

Manager Burdick of the Georgetown
University basket ball team announces
that during the past week he has added
three games to the already large list
which he made public recently. The teams
that have been scheduled lately are
Gettysburg, Gallaudet and Loyola Of Bal
timore The first two contests will come
off on local floors, while the third will
take place in the Monumental city. The
definite dates have not as yet been de-
cided on, but it is probable that the end
of the present week will see all prelim-
mary arrangements for the battles COM
pleted.
The Blue and Gray candidates went
through a hard practice at Ryan gym
nasium yesterday morning and. showed
that they are fast rounding into shape.
Coach Joyce was very much pleased with
the work and he expressed himself as de-
lighted with the way the men had taken
up the training. Although he admitted
that II was early in the year to make
yet he said that he believed
that the auint this winter would far out

Washington.

varsity and scrubs in which the former

The reserve team was composed Of Dow
ney. Spence. Monarch. Cogan. McLaurin
and Rice. Cogan played with the varsity
in the first half. but succeeded Rice on
the scrubs in the second session. Rice
has not as yet decided whether he can
come out regularly or not, but should he
finally find It possible to try for the quint
1t is likely that he will be used at center,
In which case Schlosser will be shifted to
forward.
With the first game only two weeks
away every effort will be bent from now
on to develop signal work so that the
system can be given a thorough try-out.
Baltimore Medical College has consented
to play on the Goth in Baltimore, and
hence the Hilltoppers will open their
season on a foreign floor. This, how
ever. will be an advantage rather than a
handicap. since most Of the Blue and
Gray's big battles will be away from
home.

when the Tigers tied them. but the goal
line Of the Hanoverians has not been
crossed, as Princeton's six points were
made by two field goals. Lafayette also
had escaped being scored on until Sat

BATTLES WITH A WILD BOAR
GUIDE KILLS
BEAST WITH RATCHET.

lily When He Came Upon It and
Was Attacked.

SARANAC LAKE. n. Y. Eovemberes.-
Benham. an Adirondack guide. who won
distinction for several years In canoe
padding contests In sportsmen's shows
In New York. had a thrilling fight with a
wild boar a few days ago at Big Upper
lake. He succeeded in killing the beast
with a woodman's Ratchet only. after .
fight that threatened to end his own life.
The boar was one Of a horde imported
from the Black Forest and placed In an
immense preserve known as Litchfeld
Park. near Big Topper lake. The boars
managed TO break out from the preserve.
They have multiplied very fast during
the last two or three years. 1t is stated.
and have wrought havoc among the deer.
Hundreds of fawns and many does are
said to have been killed by the boars.
Benham, who lives I'm Saranac Lake.
has q hunting camp on one of the smaller
lakes. One day recently he went to Tup-
per lake on business. He did not take
his rife, as he had to carry his canoe
several times during the eighteen-mile
journey and did not wish to be hampered
with the weapon. His only weapons were
large clasp knife and a woodman's
Ratchet thrust through his belt. He says
he owes his life to that little Ratchet. as
he had no time to get out and unclasp his
knife when the fight began.
Killed Deer and Fawns.
While carrying his canoe over one carry
near Big Upper lake Benham saw a
couple of young fawns lying on the ground.
He laid the canoe down and went over
to where they were. Both were dead.
Proceeding a little farther. ne found their
mother She had been mangled while de-
Tending her fawns. and had just died.
Benham heard a noise In the bushes,
and turned just in time to avoid a wild
boar that rushed at him. Benham stepped
quickly aside. dra wing his Ratchet from
his belt. The boar turned with remark
able CELEBRITY and again rushed at the
guide. who once more sidestepped.
AS the boar rushed past him Benham
struck him with the Ratchet. drawing
blood. but doing him no permanent injury.
The wound seemed to infuriate the brue.
and its attacks were renewed with star
thing vigor and swtftness. The guides
hign-topped moccasins were torn by the
boar's tusks, and he began 10 feel that a
revolver or rifle would be a mighty
handy thing to have.
Finally, in one Of the boar's rushes.
Benham managed to bring his Ratchet
down on the beasts neck, severing its
spinal column. and the fight was ended.
Guides OF the upper Adirondacks are
beginning to take cognizance Of the
slaughter Of fawns and does by the wild
bears. and an organized hunt is regarded
as probable, In the hope of exterminatinS
them.
