OVER 7OO GIVEN
 VIRUS YESTERDAY Vaccinating Squads Busiest
 People in Town.
BIG PLANS FOR TODAY
Doctors Will Be Stationed nj citx Hall. In West End, WOOdIawn and Ens- ley to Vaccinate All Corners
 Free of Charge.

Over 70o persons were vaccinated at inc city nall yesterday and the crush was so great that the health department has ai'nounceI that doctors will be sta Woodlawn and Ensley from 8 o'clock un- til o'clock tomorrow, to vaccinate all persons free of charge.
 Instead of sending out squads of doc tors to vaccinate every one who had not been vaccinated, 1t was decided to have the doctors at the various city offices in the different sections of the city, and to send out officers to arrest all persons who could not show that they had been vac ciEated.
 Something like 40 arrests were made yesterday. ard the officers stated that they were not especially active. Today Is expected to be lively one, as 1t is believed the news of yesterdays arrests will cause a rush to get vaccinated.
 The vaccinating squad will be kept at the city hall for several days. There were two doctors yesterday, while some of the sanitary inspectors assisted in the work of vaccinating. Today the corps of doctors will be enlarged.
 In order to accommodate the crowd it vas necessary to use the corridor of the city nall. The negroes were vaccinat ted there, while the white people were ac- commodated in the office of the health department on the second floor.
 Che new case of smallpox was reported yesterday. It is believed that the city has the situation well in hand, and with the further precaution of compulsory vac- cination. it is believed that the threat ened epidemic may be broken.

BOARD ANALYZES
 CORONER'S CLAIMS
9e CLAIMS FOR JURY SERVICE, THEY WERE TURNED IN BY ONLY THIRTY MEN.

The Board of Revenue yesterday passed the coroner's jury claims. There were 96 claims for jury service, the coroner having impaneled 16 juries during February.
 Although the board can make no protest they reported a number of pe- culiar facts connected with the claims. While there were 96 claims they were put in by only 30 men. This means that a number of men served on near ly all the juries.
 The men who served repeatedly were K. R. Burns, eight times; Y. s. Brasher. the coroner's brother, 12 times; w. N. Kennedy of Bessemer, 5 times; E. b. Douley, times, and c. c. Stamps, 4 times. The figures show that two of these men served on coroner's jufies in many sections of the county, though they lived in Bessemer and Birming- ham. In two caseH one man served on two juries in one day. G. M. Fay Tor, who was acting coroner, in one case' also put in claim as jury man.

NAVY PLAYS SNAPPY GAME
Defeats St. Johns Easily-Carey
Flashes Around the Ends.

Annapolis, Oct There was little
new football shown in the opening game
Of the season, which the navy won from
st. Johns College by a score of 16 to o.
Oppressive heat made fast work difficult,
but the midshipmen generally played with
much snap, and in the last two periods
used the forward pass effectively. Carey,
who played about half of the game, used
his sprinting and lodging powers to ad-
vantage and was easily the star ground
gamer of the day. The cOllegians played
a purely defensive game, but a plucky
one, and their friends were we'll satisfied
with the result.
There was no scoring in the first quar-
ter, but the period ended with the ball
In the navys hands and on their oppon-
ents 20-yard line. The first play at
the opening of the second period was a
we'll executed forward pass from Clay
to Hamilton, which carried the ball to the
5-yard line, and Clay carried it over on
the next play. Dalton kicked the goal.
Carey's run of forty yards in the third
tance of st. Johns goal, and the same
man carried it over after two attempts.
Carey retired in the last period after a
collision with Howe, the monster 'plebe'
guard, and Dalton. who took his place.
made the last touchdown. Goal was kicked
after the first touchdown only.
The lineup and summary follow:

Princeton. y. J., Oct. Princeton had
little difficulty in disposing Of Stevens Insti-
tute in the first game of her season here
to-day The final score, which was is TO Q.
is no estimate of the number Of points
which the Tigers could have rolled up if
needed.
No less than twenty-siX players were used
on the Princeton team, everybody who
has shown any ability getting in the game.
All the scoring was done in the first two
periods of play. and although the ball was
kept almost entirely in Stevens territory
during the third the substitute backs were
unable to push it over the goal line Of the
visitors
The new rules. on the whole. seemed 10
make a favorab bic impression There were
only three penalties during the game-two
for offside play and one for holding in the
line. Pendleton was the particular star of
the game while he played. but the other
backs We're not far behind him.
Captain Hart played d splendid defensive
game. and his line plays were good in every
case for from I've to fifteen yards. In the
line Duff, who played in the backfield of
the scrub last year, showed up strongly as
d guard Mccormick played his usual good
game at tackle. The Stevens backs could
at no time gain consistently against the
Tigers, but at times the tackling of the
Princeton mer was poor
Neither the forward pass nor onside kick
was worked to advantage by either team,
although Princeton recovered the ball twice
on onside kicks only to have it sent back
again for not going twenty yards.
The first score came soon after the game
started. Princeton kicked off and Steven

QUAKERS PILE Up SCORE
New Star Revealed in Person of
Mercer.
tBy Telegraph to The Tribune-I ]


Philadelphia, Oct. playing football
that was 30 per cent better than any seen
here before this year. the University or
Pennsylvania football team easily defeated
Gettysburg this afternoon by a score of
% to O. The fact that Ramsdell and
Hutchinson. the stars of the regular back
field, were unable to play on account OF
injuries did not affect the QualSers at all,
il seemed.
This game uncovered a back field star
who promises to eclipse either of these
two men, In the person of Mercer, who
took Ramsdell's place at fullback. Mercer
could not be stopped, no matter what the
play. He was particularly good on going
through the line. He picked his openings
unusually well and in running back kicks
usually neutralized the effect of Gettys-
burg's long punts.
Another man who played splendidly was
Hough the sprinter. On account OF his
great speed he frequently eluded half a
dozen tacklers. He made one forty-fve-
yard run for a touchdown. and several
times got around the ends for long gains.
The fifth touchdown was made by Clark.
also n new back. who scooped up one Of
Thayer's onside kicks, the play going half
the length of the gridiron.
There was only one department of the
game in which gettysburg excelled- This
was the forward pass Pennsylvania used
the play ten times, but the ball went TO
Gettsburg seven times. For the three
times that it did work the average gain
was only five yards. Gettysburg, on the
other hand, used long side pass, which
made nearly fifty yards all told
The lineup follows:
