Red Men in Washington.

An Indian chief, Prairie Wolf, of
the Blackfoot ribe, who came to
Washington from the West day or
two ago to try to fix up some
tribal matters with the commissioners
of Indian affairs, called at the Office OF
Gen. Hugh l.. Scott. chief of staff of
the United States army. to pay his
respects. The Indian spoke no Eng.
lish, and while General Scott under
stood something of the language of his
caller, the latter preferred to carry on
the conversation in the sign language
For fully fifteen minutes the chief OF
staff and the chief of the Blackfeet
talked together. Then the general
turned to some visitors who were in
the Office and explained what the
plainsman had said. Curiously enough,
Buffalo Bill dropped into the Office at
the time that Prairie Bear was present.
The scout and the chief talked in the
sign language and the first thing that
the red man said in sign words after
Buffalo Bill had removed his hat was
that the scout did not have as much
hair as in the days when he was fol
lowing the western trails.
Indians are coming to Washington
constantly, and as most of the visitors
are old men who cling to the old dress
and the old customs they arrive ar
rayed in all the feathers and other
fnery of days that are gone. They
make a picturesque showing on tho
broad avenues and in the parks, where
they attract instant and genera! atten.
ton. There is a boarding house in
Washington exclusively for Indian Wis
itors, and there the red men are made
more comfortable, perhaps, than they
are in their frontier homes. but it is
possible, of course, that the white
mans idea of comfort does not agree
with that of his fellow OF another
color
Always Look Up General Miles.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles lives in Wash
ington. The general is getting on
toward the fourscore milestone. but
seemingly he is as active physically as
ever. Miles fought nearly every kind
of an Indian that the plains in the old
days produced, and the old men among
the visitors when they are here always
try to see the general. He understood
the sign language well, and although,
of course. his conversation with the
reds ordinarily is carried on in their
own language or in English, it occa-
happens that the plainsmen
and the soldier talk together with their
hands.

Outwit Ticket ScalperS.

Philadelphia, Nov. 2S.-The Uni versity of Pennsylvania students, in- censed because the ticket spectators bought up tickets for the annual Penn-Cornell Thanksgiving Day foot ball game made prisoners of a dozen of the spectators yesterday afternoon and took the tickets away from them. Many of the scalpers resisted, but were overcome and marched into the Athletic association building, where they were thoroughly searched and the pasteboards taken away. Cash value was paid in every instance, how ever.
 The students who took part were those who were unable to get any of , the 2,0O0 tickets which were sold at the building this morning. When the stock was exhausted the disgruntled students were aroused at the sight of scalpers offering to sell tickets, and adopted this method to obtain some.

A COMEBACK ATTEMPT
Charley TreybaH is Taken in Charge of Local Men Who Know How to Con- d1tion Boxers.

Charley Treyball, the Hardware City boy who is scheduled to meet Chick Mccormick of Hartford in the semi final bout at the exhibition to be giy- en by the IenOX A. c. in Meriden next Monday evening, has settled down to hard work to fit himself for the bat tie. In the capable hands of Manager Hector Meehan of this city, the boy should advance toward the title rap idly, and the local boxing contingent are looking forward to this start in the Mccormick bout. Assisting Man ager Meehan in preparing Charley for the fray are Joe Ryan and Jack Fitz- gerald, two of the wisest conditioners in these parts, and what Treyball does not know about the game this trio will teach him.
 Several weeks ago Treyball, stranger in these parts, arrived from New York and was matched with Sammy Waltz in the star bout. En- tering into the battle "cold" without proper handling, Treyball was the los- CT on points, but the Meriden fans are unanimous in the opinion that he gave the greatest exhibition of game ness ever shown in a Silver City ring. At the last show given by the club, Treyball was introduced, challenging the winner of the McCormick-Brin- disi bout and the ovation rendered him lasted for several minutes.
 In going against Mccormick the To- cal lad realizes that he is to face a tough bird, but this is not worrying him much, and if he does not put across the k. o. wallop before the end of the hors de combat he will be much diSa pnointed youth.
 The star bout will bring together Jerome Hennessey, Pete F1tzgerald's prize featherweight and Sammy Waltz in a fifteen round encounter.
 The club has made the same excel lent arrangements for staging the ex- hibition that has featured Its past at tempts. as to officials, railroad sched- u1es etc.

Not content with trimming local teams, the Wanderers of the City league handed an invading Middle town quintet beating last evening, doing the job to a nicety.

Bell May Be Penn Pilot.

Philadelphia, Penn, Nov. 2S.- Penn's football training for the Cor nell conflict on Thanksgiving Day took place yesterday afternoon on the grounds of the Whitemarsh Country club at Whitemarsh. After running a mile across country, the players were put through sharp signal drill.

 The players will remain at White marsh until a few hours before the game. No one will be allowed to visit them until tomorrow night, when the University Glee club will give a concert for the players.
 A rumor floating about the Penn camp is that Bob Folwel, the head coach, will return next year. Fol- wells contract is but for one season, but everybody is more than satisfied with the showing he has made.

 The Golf Carnival.
 Not all golf battles are to be fought in the south this winter. For within a week or so the battle over the amateur question in golfdom promises to star the keenest campaign the old game has ever known.
 The double lineup is not getting ready for the charge
 On one side is the United States Golf association, planning to carry through it's legislation and to enforce the rule against amateur golfers sell ling golf supplies or similar occupa- tions.
 On the other side are any numb of golfers and golf clubs who believe the rule is unjust, barring as it does such contenders as Francis Quinn ct and others who were in the buiness long before they attained any golf fame.
 The decisive battle will be fought out in January at the annual meeting. Since both sides have considerable logic back of their debates it is a matter that should be thoroughly sifted within the next few weeks in order that a fair, friendly and lasting arrangeme can be brought about that will protect both the game and the players.
 We have gathered all the material we could lay hold to from both sides 1 and will soon offer the same for public ! inspection.

 Whatever it's other achievements, 1916 will be entered as the toughest year on record for those out to gather in all-star teams.
 There has never been a season be- fore where there were as few who stood we'll above the crowd and where there were so many first class players of about equal value.
 Even in the East alone it will be something more than a complex job to round up eleven men who range beyond the rest of the field.
