WILL PLAY BIG
FOOTBALL GAME
Army and Navy Reach an Agree
ment.
DECIDE UPON POLO GROUNDS.
The Navy Yields TO Desire OF Army
To Play the Game In New
Ycrk-November 2eth
Date Selected.

Washington.-The Army.Nayy foot
ball game will be Played a the New
York Polo Grounds on November -.
This was arranged al q conference oe-
tween Secretary Daniels. Assistant
Secretary Breckinridge and the athle-
tice directors of West Point and An
napolis
Il am very glad" said Secretary
Breckenridge after the conference, to
say that the difficulty has been
obviated through the generosity of the
Navy in yielding to the desire of the
Army TO hold the game this year at
the Polo Grounds. The reason for the
desire of the Army to play the game at
the Polo Grounds is the superior seat
ing capacity and arrangements of the
grounds for such a competition. 1t
is not thought there will be any diff
ficulty in obtaining satisfactory ar
rangements with the management of
that field. Such generosity as tie
Navy has displayed in the present
negotiations is bound to create an even
more cordial feeling and cement more
nrmly tllat 1rlendSnlp Nnlch ever
should and will exist between the two
services"
1t is understood that the manage
ment of the Polo Grounds will pro
vide 12,500 seats for both the Army
and Navy, with the privilege fer each
Of them to purchase, in case Of need,
an additional 5000 In case the two
branches of the services should use
only 25,G00 seats. the sum of $4,000
would be given the Army and Navy
relief fund. That gives the Army and
Navy the benefit of $1,000 seats. which
is more than the entire seating capa-

No Fatalities and Few Persons

Hot Springs, Ark. - Fire which
started in a negros cabin at $50
o'clock Friday afternoon was slowly
dying out at the foot of West Noun
tain, the southern extremity of Hot
Springs, at midnight after reducing
TO a smouldering mass OF wreckage an
area more than mile in length and
from seven to ten blocks wide in the
eastern section of the city. The
monetary loss is roughly estimated at
$10,O00,000
Governor Hays will probably order
military patrol of the burned dis
trict United States troops will also
add to the guard on the military reser-
vation. In the path of the flames were
manufacturing houses, hotels, num-
ber OF the more pretentious residences
and public buildings, which are in
ashes. 1t is estimated that more
than 1000 persons are homeless.
So far as can be ascertained there
were no fatalities, and the few per-
sons hurt suffered only minor in
juries.
THE BUILDINGS DESTROYED.
Among the buildings destroyed
were:
The city's light, water and power
plants.
County Courthouse.
High school building.
Park Hotel.
Moody Hotel.
Princess Hotel.
st. Louis, Iron Mountain and South
ern Railroad Station and Shop,
The Arkansas Sanatorium.
Smaller buildings by the hundreds
were reduced to ashes.
Guests Flee, Leaving Property.
But few OF those whose homes were
burned saved any of their household
effects. and guests of the hotels gave
little heed to their valuables and lug
gage in their efforts to escape the
flames The fire originated within
several blocks of the United States
Army and Navy Hospital and took a
south and east course.
Frail negro structures in the negro
section about Church street and Nal
vern avenue, where the fire started,
made more than ordinarily infiam-
mable by an extended drought, burned
like timber.
