Some SideIighs on The Sporting Game

II will take every bit Of victory
that the enormous Yale bowl will
hold to quench the Bulldogs thirst
when things do finally come his way.
It has now been five long, parched,
dusty twelvemonths since the Cod
dess OF Victory has perched over the
ramparts of a blue eleven aften a
Harvard game Imagine a drought
of FIVE years.
It seems a pity that Harvard turn
ed down the offer of Illinois to play
a post season game, the receipts to
go TO the relief of Belgium sufferers.
True, post season football contests
drag the season out pretty long, aud
means a great deal to the men who
have played the game throughout the
season. In such a case. however,
Harvard could have heaped lot
more glory on herself by agreeing to
the plan.
Yale undoubtedly would have do
mated her great new bowl for tho
occasion. which would have meant
something like Sl40,000 for stricken
Belgium. II would have given foot
ball the biggest boost in the history
of the sport, and put an end TO any
argument on who is King this fall
on the gridiron.
Within a week now, we ought to
have a pretty good idea of what 10
expect in the nature of peace or
continued warfare between the Fed
erals and organized baseball. The
National League, the organization
more directly affected than the
American. is TO hold its annual meet
ing here on December 8. At this
meeting the leagues attitude is to be
finally settled. Garry Hermann, il

probably the Champion Optimist OF

FRESHMEN win over

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK. Del, Dec. 3.-In the an
nual class football game yesterday
afternoon the Delaware College
Freshmen sprung a surprise by de-
feating the Sophomores, 6 to 0. II
was a clean-cut victory as the frs
year students outplayed the Sopho-
mores from start to finish.
The star of the game was Captain
Smith of the Freshman team He not
only played a great offensive game
but was also a star on defense. Smith
was a scrub this season but such
work as he did yesterday will be sure
TO land him a regular place on the
varsity team next season If he shows
the same form. Bratton, Gilman,
Myers. E. Wilson and Gray also did
good work for the Freshies.

RUSSIANS DRIVE FORWARD

ST. PETERSBURG Aug. 27.-The Russian advance in East Prussia is proceeding with irresistible force The German army in that part of the theater of war has re- treated on OSterOde and the Russian advance IS already proceeding establish contact with it. The news coming from Prussia indicates that the Germans have reached most desperate condition and that overwhelming vic tory for Russia will result when the Germans are forced to meet the main army of the invaders.
 LONDON, Aug. 26.-The rush of the main Russian army on the city of POSen in Germany regarded here the sensational news of the day. It is believed in some quarters that the advance POSen may account for the retreat of the Germans in East Prussia They continue to retreat before the Russians in that quarter without mak ing anything like determined effort to oppose the nvad- CTS but it is held that if they waited to fight the left Rus sian wing the main Russian force advancing on POSen through Poland would Outaank them. Those people be- eve that when the Germans in East Prussia fall back far enough to get in line with the German army around POSen they will give battle
 The report that the French had abandoned their posi- tOnS in ASaCe has not been confirmed here The French embassy in London knows nothing about the matter and no official information to that effect has been received from the French government

John Stevenson, who has been in the Moose Pass district for the past month returned to Seward last night on the car and is loud in his praise of that section as a quartz district. Mir.

SANTIAGO, Aug. 27.-The govern ment of Chile announced today that it will not take part in the Panama eX- position at San Francisco although it had intended to do so. Although so much has not been stated in words it is assumed in some quarters that the decision to refrain from representa- ton comes from the belief that even if the exposition goes on it will be rendered useless as an international exposition because of the great war. It is held that even if the war is end ed before next year the effects on the governments will be such as to pre- vent them from taking any part, or, at least, active parts.

 The Princess Victoria after the ac. cident proceeded to Seattle under her Dwn steam and arrived here at 10 o'clock where a big crowd and several ambulances waited for her. She had a large hole stove in her bow but it was chOked with wreckage from the Sampson and this aided in keeping out the water.
 Captain Zim Moore and Pilot Obert were on the bridge when the bow of their ship dropped. As she was sink ing Obert was hit by wreckaga and rendered unconscious but he was res cued from the water. It is presumed that Captain Moore was also hit by his same wreckage but this canno. be stated for a fact as his body has not been recovered.
