by Mr.. Clark's counsel, Mr.. Fox.
He made no attempt to evade the

client simple justice. The district
attorney did as we'll as a man

fair and courteous, especially in

testimony given by the medical eX-

Big GAME GOES TO GOTHAM
Army and Navy Will Play Foot Ball
Contest Every Year at the
Polo Grounds.
PHILADELPHIA LOSES OUT
OUT

NEW YORK, Dec. u.--Unless there is
change OF sentiment at Annapolis, the
Navy is expected to reach an agreement
to play the annual foot ball game with
the Army at the polo grounds perma-
nently. The West Point academy always
has favored New York and is bound by
contract to meet the midshipmen here
again in 1917. The Naval academy, on
the other hand, reserved the right, two
years ago. to select the battle-ground for
alternate games, but 1t was learned last
Saturday that the middies, after the sue
cessful manner in which the big contest
In the Brush Stadium was handled by
the New 1ork Base Ball club, did not
favor a return to Franklin Field Phila-
delphia, in 1916.
The terms offered by the New York
club, which governed the last game. con-
vinced the Navy that New York should
have the call in future. The New York
club divided 5000 free tickets equally
between the academies and also guar
anteed $4,000 in cash, to be similarly cut
up between the athletic associations. The
academies. however. received the right
to purchase 5000 additional tickets at 50
each. the New York clubs guarantee to
be wiped out in this manner IL all the
blShClb were BOlu. II Ilc academies QlQ
not buy any tickets the ball club had the
right to sell as many as possible to cover
the guarantee and also to meet expenses,
which included the building Of temporary
stands, the cost OF printing. transporta-
ton. police. ushers, advertising, clerk
hire and postage.
CIub's Profits small.
The attendance was about 1900 yet the
New York clubs profits were compare
lively small. The most satisfactory fea-
ture was the fact that the academies Sc
cured all the tickets they needed; an Inn
possibility at Franklin Field. In spite of
the rain and fog the crowd was we'll
handled by the elevated and surface
roads. After the game II required less
than forty minutes to carry the specta-
tors away from the stadium. The only
hitch was the belated arrival OF the mid
shipmen at the field. The first battalion
was landed by a Pennsylvania railroad
ferryboat at the foot of West One
Hundred and Fifty-fifth street at 1880
o'clock. The second battalion, on
board a New Jersey Central ferryboat,
was carried up the Hudson to a point
near Yonkers before the pilot discovered
his error. There was no fog hanging over

nothing to do with the mishap.
Before they left for Annapolis many OF
the midshipmen expressed the hope that
the game would be played at the Polo
grounds for many years to come, and
they added that some of the most in
fluential men in naval affairs probably
would take the matter In hand at an
early date. New York provides a neu-
tral battle-ground. and the trip from An
napolis no longer is a hardship.
