If You Like Canned Stuff
 Be Sure To Read This Here
Fellow Sports:

| tAlON E0EOl lS
 The football season is just about whittled out to a point Back east, they have begun canning every form of sport that doesn't depend on d large bunch of ice and snow, or tightly closed room with a red hot stove. And that brings us to the subject in hand.
 Note above, some of the activities of the winter fans. Not for a moment will they break training Cwherein they are better athletes than the Coyotes), , nor will they relax a whit their prep arations for another baseball season.
 The cartoon. like the very Hot Suvc League itself. is a hold over. It could have been used just as oppositely last winter as this-Or next for that mat ter. It is the supremest example of the canned stuff which sport pages spring on a helpless public during the slack season.
 For that matter, every word of this is useless. Nothing can prevent the fannin bee, the warm discussion of past performances, and predictions or future activities. This is canned stuff too. If real news were more plentiful 1t is doubtful if the makeup man would permit us to clutter up the page with this article, but, we have taken precautions. We have found that the FaItin story will not run over twenty columns. There are no big football games to report. The state fair is over and friend press agent has relaxed a bit. Therefore, this.
 To resume One of the most import ant topics on the program of the H. s. League is the batting and fielding av- craze. Several days ago, this page carried the National League batsmen in brief. Today. we have some com ments on the fielding of that circuit
 Fielding seemed to be quite habit with the players last year. Some guys who didn't play more than a score of games, got perfect scores. Others got in bad with scorers, and had errors as sessed. Boston and Cincinnati fielded so well, that it took five decimal places to distinguish between the two. The team averages were: Boston .9664S and i Cincy .96647. Which is some hair-line distinction. The bottom of the page warns us that it is time to stop

PORT TOWNSEND Wash. Nov. 26.-The four masted Norwegian bark Souverain. which sailed from Liverpool 161 days ago in ballast for the Columbia river put in here today with six members of her crew suf- fering from beri-beri. One sailor, Harry Shalberg, died of the disease November l. and was buried at sea. November 9, Captain Swensen put in at Ensarda to get medical assist ance. After he had purchased his supplies. a Mexican officer with a dozen soldiers seized the ship and arrested the entire crew.
 The British consul effected their re- lease the next day and the Mexican commander apologized for his subor- dinates action. The Souverain left Ensanda November F and was off the Columbia river November A. but was unable to enter, an eighty mile gale carrying the vessel to Cape Flattery. The ship narrowly escaped going on the rocks while passing up the strait to Port Townsend.

Nineteenth Clash of Cadets and Middies Will Draw Record Football Crowd in New York Polo Grounds Today
Republican A. p. Leased wireI

NEW YORK, Nov. 26-The foot ball elevens of the United States Military and Naval academies will close the eastern gridiron season with their annual contest here tomorrow afternoon. Indications point to a hard fought game under poor weather conditions and before the largest as sembly of spectators to witness this football classic since the initial struggle in 1890
 The possibility of unpleasant weather has failed to check the en- thusiasm of the thousands of army and navy officers, government off cials midshipmen and cadets who are gathering here for the contest. A majority of the leading hotels are filled tonight with the representa- tiVes of the two branches of the ser vice, but the main contingent of out of town spectators will follow the example of President Wilson and ar rive here tomorrow in time for luncheon before going to the game
 The nations executive, who will be accompanied by @ large party of personal friends, will occupy a special box on the navy side of the field for one half of the game, crossing the gridirOn to the army section between halves for the final two periods of the contest Early betting favored the cadets at odds of five to four but there are indications that if the teams line up on a water soaked field the soldiers are likely to be quoted at 10 to : or possibly to 9.
 Both the West Point and Anna polls squads visited the Polo grounds at separate hours today for secret practice and signal drills.
