LOCAL
FIRST FOOTBALL GAME.
Game from the so called Alumni Tues
day, II to 0,


High School Eleven Won a Practice
Game from the so-called Alumni Tues
day, II to o.
The high school football team defeated
the so-called alumni Tuesday afternoon
on the Island park gridiron, ITO. 1t was
the first game of the season and al
though the high school boys had had
only three afternoons practice they
showed up we'll Haskell made the first
touchdown in the first period after an
end run of 10 yards Weeden scored
another touchdown in the second period
after short run and Taylor kicked a
goal. Coach Hughes worked IA of his
men and two Others Pierce and Forest
Wentworth, played with the alumni. The
line showed up to good advantage,
Brown, Curtis and Merrill Haskell at
guard and Crosby and Dennng on the
ends playing well. Thayer, quarterback
on the second eleven last season, di-
reCted the team and was steady during
the greater part of the game. Weeden,
Haskell and Taylor, back of the line,
were speedy and played well together.
The team was not able to work the for
ward pass very successfully owing to the
new rule that requires forward passes to
be caught clearly. Last year the team
used this pass successfully, but diligent
practice will be needed this year before
it can be worked to advantage. Fits
and Ellis of the alumni team connected
with forward passes several times when
their opponents tried 1t. The alumni
presented strong line that was good
on the defence against the high school
No admission was charged to the
grandstand as the team manager and the
manager of Island park are not as yet
decided just what course to pursue in
regard to handling the crowds that I'M

gridlron is laid out parallel to the stand
and it is hoped that the public will be
satisfied to sit there to watch the games
but If the people Insist on coming to the
sdelines the view of the persons in the
stand will be cut Off. The managers are
in somewhat of a quandry as to Just
what shall be done, but will try to have
everything satisfactorily arranged before

BOWIE IN FAVOR.
 OF D|SPENSARY
Says Statement Has Been Prepared Which Will
 Be Made Public

Sydney J. Bowie yesterday made tn following statement on the local op- tion question:
 q am leaving this afternoon for a short stay at Tate Spring. There has been prepared statement setting forth the positoin in the pending campaign of a number of gentlemen who opposed the constitutional amendment but who are opposed to the return of the sa- loon. We shall favor the dispensary. This statement will be furnished the press within short time.
 "The features of the Smith bill, pro- vidipg for an excise commission to be appointed by the governor, with nj provision as to trial for their mis- feasance or nonfeasance except by the power that appointed them, allowing the licensing of 3O-room hotels with out proper regulations. and changing the policy of our law by allowing the retailing of liquor by private corpor- ations are in my opinion dangerous tt la high degree.
 "On the other hand, the dspensary will tend to promote temperance will not furnish the allurements of the sa- loon, and the profits will go to a pub lie good instead of to the private gain of the saloonist."
