Mr. Balfour, i'm responding. said
that the Washington conference was

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD
ANNAPOLIS, Md. Jan. 24.-Definite
announcement was made to-day that the
Text football game between the teams
of the Naval and Military academies
would be played on Franklin Field. Phil
adelphia, on November 25
Much sentiment attaches to Franklin
Field among service people. as half the
contests between Army and Navy have
been played there. There will be a con
siderable saving in fare for the mid
shipmen in not making the trip to the
Iolo Grounds, New York.
The deciding factor. In the choice of
Philadelphia was the assurance that the
enlargement of Franklin Field would be
completed in time for the game. The
choice was made by the Naval Academy
officials under the agreement existing
between that institution and the Military
Academy by which the institutions
choose the battle ground in alternate
Years. subject to the condition that IL
must not be south Of philadelphia or
rorth OF New York city.
The standing agreement also fixes No
sember 25 as the date for the game.
The Navy favored the game for a week
,ater. but the Army would not consent
20 this.
The standing agreement between the
service academies will end with the
playing of the next game, but there Is
every reason to believe that il will be
1crewed on terms similar to these now
tNisting. The last game on Franklin
Field took place in 1914.

CAVE MAN LARKIN Is
! DOUGLASS'S MASTER
Giant Lumberjack Overwhelms
Smaller Opponent in the
Eighth Round.
BY CHARLES r. MATHIsoN.

! Tarzan Larkin, the mammoth Mime
sofa woodsman, knocked out Jack Doug
lass Of the West Side in the eighth
round of bout at the Pioneer Sporting
Club last night.
LarlSin. long haired, long Iinbed. huge
of frame and sullen OF face, climbed
into the ring reputed to be lumberjack
| from the wilds OF Minnesota but resem-
bling paintings of cave men. All eyes
were on him as he sat seowling in his
corner.
! The ruddy faced modern Joe Hum
phries announced that Larkin weighed
| 205 pounds. Larkin frowned and the
crowd shouted its disapproval. Diagon-
ally across the square sat Jack Douglass,
by no means a cave man. He confessed
to residing on the West Side. He re-
garded LarlSin with interest.
The gong rang out and Larkin, tower
ing foot above Douglas, advanced on
his opponent. He fought like a pre-
adamite. The skill of Dempsey was
sealed book to Larkin. who swung his
great arms fail like and bore down on
his smaller opponent, 1S5 pounds like a
fighting tank. Douglas, having some
skill, shot left hand to the face of
the giant. nearly closing the left eye
and drawing blood, whereat the specta-
tors shouted gleefully. The smaller man,
using rapler like left and a jolting
right, staggered the huge tree chopper
from the West. The onlookers cheered
aysterically. They wanted the modern
athlete to vanquish the replica of an
antideluvian savage.
twas all in vain, Larlxin's over
whelming strength gradually wore down
Douglass until the eighth round, when
crashing blows from fists on apelil<e
arms laid Douglass fiat on the canvas
twice. When he arose after the second
knockdown the referee called a halt and
declared LarlSIn the winner. The cave
man had triumphed.
1t was woman, the kind who admire
cave men, who ran to the ringside and
shook the bloody glove of Tarzan
Two small specimens of mankind

him down again as soon as he arose
The humane referee said enough" and
the contest ended after one minute of
the third round.
Billy De Foe and Earl Baird, adver-
tised as the chief attraction, performed
indifferently. De Foe won.
frankie Mack and Johnny Cooney
were the first pair in the ring. 1t was
very cold in the arena and Cooney and
Mack decided that they would be com

Mack gave Cooney a fine humping, and
