Play Excellent Game, Although
With Slight Spanish Accent.
Public Takes Great Interest.

EXICO CITY, Oct. 90
N Teams of baseball players
which came here from Texas
for a series of exhibition games in
connection with the Centennial
celebration found the real Ameri-
can game was played here, even
though with Mexican accent.
Some of the players expected to
find a city unaccustomed to base
ball and a public attending the
games merely out of curiosity to
see the sport that sets all the
United States on, its ears for so
many months each year.
Instead they found a city with at
least ten first-class diamonds, two
full-fledged leagues and a number OF
independent clubs-all of them Mexi-
can or Spanish. They met critical
rooters who were not loath to tell the
umpire that his eyesight was lost or TO
pan" a runner for making poor
slide to third.

LAFAYETTE In
TRIM TO MEET
PENNSYLVANIA
Easton Eleven Hopes That His
tory Is to Repeat Itself at
Franklin Field.

DAsToN, Pa, Oct. 29.-La-
fayette College students are
- hoping that football history
will repeat itself next Saturday
afternoon when the Lafayette
eleven goes to Franklin Field for
the annual clash with the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania.
Every five years or so Lafayette
produces a team from its 500 stu
dent body which goes TO Philadel-
phia and takes the measure Of the
Pennsylvania team. The last vic
tory of Lafayette over the Red
and Blue was that of 1915 when
"Bodie" Weldon and Johnnie Scott
led the maroon-clsd athletes to tri-
umph.
Last wear should have been Lafay-
ette's year. The team did out-play the
University OF Pennsylvania. but q
tumble, followed by a recovery ana
quick dash by Joe Straus gave fenn-
sylvania the only winning touchdcwn
of the afternoon. Lafayette was ~
the shadow OF the Penn goal line sew
eral occasions, but failed 10 push the
oval across.
This Saturday, however. Lafayette
hopes to collect with this overdue one
year interest. The present Lafayette
team is one of the best that ever has
represented the institution and by rea'
son of victories over such teams as
Muhlenburg, the University OF Pitts
burg. Dickinson, Bucknell and Ford
ham is still in line for the mythical
championship of the East.
The men have improved greatly
since the 60 victory over the Pitts
burgh team, according TO Coach Suth-
erland. They had had but few days
of real practice prior to taking on
Warmers aggregation.

MIDDIES MAY

IN NEW SPORTS
Negotiations Are On For Re-
sumption Of Further Athletic
Relations With Princeton.

A NNAPOLIS, Nd. Oct. CO.
n Naval Academy athletic Off
cials will take up with Prince
ton Immediately after the close of
the football season the matter of
renewal Of the relations in football
and rowing. both of which have
ended.
The match and race are yer popu-
lar at both institutions and II Is t'e-
lieved that an agreement covering two
seasons In both sports on a home and
home basis will be reached.
All four OF the contests. the boat
races and the football games. played
under the last agreement were won 10y
the team or crew contending at Its
own home.
The Navy's particular ambition at
the present time Is to carry a defeat
to the Tigers in their lair. While II
is the turn of the Princeton crew to
row at Annapolis next spring the
midshipmen are perfectly willing to
row on Lake Carnegie rather than to
forego their chance.
Particularly is this the case. as
seven of the eight members of the
crew will graduate. so they will have
no other chance for revenge for the
unexpected defeat last year.
The contests in both lines of sport
have been very satisfactory to naval
people, and 1t is believed that the
sentiment at Princeton is the same.

This year the gridiron contest is to
take place at American League Park
on Saturday, November 10. The Po
tomacs and Canoeists are not rivals
on the water as the former are oars
men and the latter paddlers, but they
never have relished being outdone by

function the other, not to be outdone

ferences that might have occurred
during the water season are fought
out in their annual football classic.
Last season Gus Buckholtz present
ed a handsome loving cup which, to
obtain permanent possession, has to
be won twice. The Potomacs have
one leg on the cup through their vic
tory last season which resulted IN
one of the hardest fought gridiron
contests of the year, the oarsmen win

edge to the Potomacs, and they are

gether a team that will win again and
without any doubt as to the better

Special Despatch to TIE NEW York HErALp.
DETROIT, April 1s.-The world is tray
elling on its way to destruction at the
rate Of 5000 miles a day. SO the Rev.
George T. Cullen of the West Grand
Boulevard NJ. Z. Church believes That
was a sure thing. he declared. and fur
ther ne said there are at least eight
other ways in which the old world may
come to its end before the fatal ending
Of the death Journey"
First, he declared, the axis Of the
earth might decide to shift about few
degrees. with the result that the oceans
would sweep over the dry lands and de-
stroy all life before an ark could be
built. If that fails TO occur there might
be failure Of internal fires and the
crust Of the earth would absorb all the
water and the air. The death OF our
planet might. on the other hand, be
brought about by the heat Of the sun
dying out and leaving the earth mass
of ice. There was just possibility that
we might all be asphyxiated by the earth
passing through the tail of comet, or
this planet might collide with another
world wandering through space.
And the end might be brought about
by the slowing down or the speeding up
of the rate OF the earths rotation on its
own axis. The rotation at present is
just sufficient to counteract the centrip-
etal force of the sun, and II 1t were
slowed down the earth would fly into the
sun, starting at the rate Of LOO miles
an hour and be consumed. II the rate
of rotation were accelerated the earth

oceans would be frozen to their utmost
depths.

which would be a terrific explosion
that would shatter the world on bring

that the oxygen and nitrogen would
unite and cause a combustion OF the at

That such disasters were not impos-
sible was shown, he said, by the spec
troscope. by means OF which man could
read the life history OF the planets He
added
'The spectroscope shows that one
