CARDINALS DEFEAT EPISCOPAL
HIGH SCHOOL.

The Episcopal High School football
team met defeat yesterday afternoon on
their field by the fast eleven OF the Car
dinal Athletic Club by the score OF Is
to 5. The Cardinals outweighed their OPP
ponents and outplayed them all through
the contest. One of the features OF the
game was the long runs made by Snow
den and Cockrell. Trigger, the full
back OF the Cardinals, was too much for
the high school lads. they being unable
to stop him in his line plunges. Nc
Bride and Hamilton also put up a
swell game. Touchdowns for the Alex
andriaus were made by Cockrell, Snow
den and Mcbride; Snowden kicking
two goals and Mcbride one. Too much
can not he said OF the Cardinals front
line, especially Sullivan, who put up a
great game. This makes the second
time the E. H. S. was ever defeated by an
Alexandria team. Hawitt made the
touchdown for the High school boys,
but he failed at an attempt to kick
goal. A large crowd OF Alexandria
"rooters" accompanied the team, and
also helped to cheer them on to victory.
This team is one of the fastest that ever
represented Alexandria, and Judging
from the showing they made yesterday
they will make the Seamen Gunners
play some ball to win Saturdays game.

FORAKER MUZZLED.

The republican state committee OF
Ohio, through its chairman, has called
former Senator Joseph Benson Foraker
off the stump in Ohio. The chairman
OF the state committee in his telegram
calling the senator off says:
I'VE earnestly urge that all contro.
yersies be set aside until victory IS
achieved In this we are joined by
local committees and candidates on
state and local tickets. Will you not aid
us by dropping from future speeches
all matters not involved in the conten-
ito" between the republican and demo
cratic parties in this campaign?"
Senator Foraker in his reply says:
Il respectfully request that all my
engagements to speak in this cam
paign be Cancelled. and that you notify
all local committees.
1t will be noted that while the chair
man did not in positive terms demand
that he refrain from criticism OF any
member of his own party it is strongly
expressed as to leave Foraker no
alternative.
The action is universally regarded as
making more chaotic the already tan
gled state situation.
