BIC TEST COMES
ON THE MORROW
Football Teams Have First Hard
Games of the Season In East
and West.
BY HARRY NELLY.

The first real genuine football
weather of the season finds Detroit
with only one game for Saturday.
That IL the contest between Detroit
College and Adrian college, scheduE
ed for the ID. A. c. field at 8 p. m.
The Detroit college team got away
TO a bad start. but by hard work on
the part OF coaches and candidates
the team has improved wonderfully.
Coach Kelley has labored hard TO
inability to handle punts. A week
OF labor along this line has overcome
the tendency to tumble to great ex'
tent. The victory over Hillsdale last
week helped a lot and the Detroit
team IL confident Of beating It's OPP
ponent tomorrow. In any event the
game should be worth seeing.
Detroit University school was un-
able to land n contest. while Western
cancelled with Mcmillan High. Gen.
trail goes to Ann Arbor and Eastern
plays at Fenton.
Michigan will tackle Syracuse and
after q week OF secret practice Coach
Yost expects bis hopefuls will do
more offensive work than they have
heretofore. Nothing has been the
matter with the Michigan defense.
but the team seems to have lacked
the strength to make scores. The new
code has much TO do with this.
Yost's admirers are OF the opinion
that he has been laying up a heat"
as they say In racing andowill spring
lot OF new and effective stun when
the occasion requires. Syracuse prob
ably will offer the first OF these oc-
casions, az that crowd has a reputa-
ton for agressiveness.
In the east some Of the larger
teams come together 90 the effects Of
the new rules can be observed better
than at any time this season. A lot
OF teams have been held back by the
weather, which has been too hot for
real active football practice. All the
coaches have been confronted with
the bugaboo of entertaining. One
week OF cold, weather will do more
than anything else to improve foot
ball

HOPPE STILL HAS LEAD
IN BILLIARD TOURNEY

NEW YORK, Oct. 2s.-With a lead
of ga TO his credit, Willie Hoppe to-
day expressed confidence that he
would win his match with Albert Cut
Ter. OF Boston. Hoppe Is playing 1871
balk line to Cutters 1872 and the cham
pion's lead is concededly too great a
handicap to be overcome in the two
nights play remaining.
Billiard experts are loud In their
praise OF the marvellous form display
ed by Hoppe. II took Hoppe thirteen
innings 20 make last nights block Of
500 points. He played with rare deli
cacy and won frequent applause by
spectacular shots. His average was
20 lib, which is remarkable.

the accidents and deaths on those

Baseball Is q healthy game for healthy

MAY REDUCE FORCE
U. S. MintS Putting in Labor
Saving Machinery for the
Weighing of Metals.

Washington, March 2.-In all
probability the working forces of
the San Francisco and Denver mints
will be reduced in the near future
if the experiment with several new
labor saving machines prove success
full at the Philadelphia mint.
A new machine for weighing gold
and silver was put in operation to-
day, and the old system of weighing
the metals by hand was abandoned.
An automatic feeder to supplant
the old way of hand feeding is being
experimental with. These machines
require six workmen where before
22 persons were required.
This will save $4,000 yearly at
the Philadelphia mint and the SER
vices of 70 people will be dispensed
with.

The State Railroad Commission was
notified this morning by j. p.
OBrien, of the o. r. e Co. that,
commencing April 1, the American
Express Company will succeed the
Pacific Express Company on all lines
operated by the road in the state,
and commencing April 80, the same
company will succeed the Pacific Ex-
press Company on the Oregon &
Washington railway.
Presents Interesting Question.
This change of express companies
has presented to the commission a
somewhat interesting question. The
commission some time ago investi-
gated the rates charged by the Pacific
Express Company-decided that they
were too high, and ordered reduc-
tion of about 20 per cent, and recently
the order went into effect. The ques-
tion now presented is whether the
new company will abide by these
rates, or whether it will set up rates
of it's own and contrary to those es-
tablished by the commission. In the
event that it should not observe the
commissions order of it's own volition
it will be necessary for the commits
sion to make an order applicable to
