be started against the returns from

Should such contests prevail from all
these counties, the Republican vote
would be reduced six thousand more

Republicans elect would suffer defeat
Chairman Mcdonald announces that
this is but ruse on the part of the
Democrats to keep the Republicans

in time for the funeral, which took
place yesterday.
Several other mothers and fathers
in the city saw the pathetic little pro

tiny casket was taken to Greenmount,

mourners in their sorrow, and many
gentle words expressive of sympathy

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 25--The
football season of 1910 will close to.
morrow when the rival teams from
the United States Military and Naval
Academies will meet in the annual
gridiron battle on Franklin Field, in
the game eclipses all others, as IL

officers, diplomats and others prom

battalion Of cadets of each academy
will attend the game.
Both teams arrived in the city to-
day, in prime condition and eager
for the fray. The elevens appear to
be evenly matched, although it is
impossible that the West Point boys
will rule slight favorites before the
whistle sounds for the opening of hos

middies' record shows the better per.
formances so far as figures go, but
on the other hand the West Point
team has met more formidable oppon.
ents than the middies and in every
game has made an excellent showing.
At the beginning of the season 1t
was stated that the material at the
Naval Academy was the strongest for
years. but the showing of the middies
in their early games did not bear out
the prediction, and many football writ.

polls was going to have poor team
this season, and would be outclassed
by the Army team. But the work of
the midshipmen showed distinct i'm
provement with every game and the
victories over Lehigh and the Carlisle
indians resulted in big boom in the
Annapolis stock. The middies defeat
ed Lehigh by score of 300. while
the West Point score in the game with
Lehigh was $50. The strength OF the
army team however, was demonstrat
ed beyond question in the victory
over Yale and the excellent showing
made against the formidable Har.
ward eleven.
The betting on the game appears
to be remarkably light, the Army de.
manding slight odds, and the Navy sup

the rival combinations merits even
money. In view of these conflicting
opinions. very little money has been
put up 60 far. although some lively
betting is expected tomorrow with the
