HUSTON BIDS FOR
ARMY.NAVY GAME
Management Of Yankees Wants
Contest Playel in New York

New York, Jan, THAT the New
York American League club was hel
on the trail Of the AFmyrSaEE foot
hail game Of 1888 as an attraction
for the new Yankee field next No
yemheE has been known for some
time, That the club officials are
willing 20 make remarkable eanees'
sions in order 10 obtain the classic
was announced when Col, TIL Hns'
ton issued 6 statement defining the
exact terms submitted by them. The
Yankees are willing 90 give the aead-
emies 10000 seats, and pay all eA'
penses. reserying 10000 seats for sa'e
by the club,
The statement asserts that the mai
decision rests with the authorities In
Washington. The Giants also have
submitted an offer 20 the service
schools. The statement follows
THE Yankee Baseball club an
nounces that IL has offered 10 govern
uent officials 10000 seats for the
Army and Navy football game, This
number OF seats Is greatly In excess
OF the capacity OF any grounds in any
OF the large cities II has also Of
fered 20 pay all expenses incident 10
the staging OF the game. II is
claimed that Franklin field has
capacity of $4,000, and that the Polo
Grounds capacity when improved Is
about the same. The Yankees will
have about 10000 seats to dispose OF.
The construction OF the Yankee
Stadium has cost in the neighbor-
hood OF two million and n half dol
lars and was built not only for bust
ness reasons but from sense OF civic
pride to attract TO New York all the
large events. The field was laid out
not only from a baseball but from
a football point of view. The expert
advice of Maj. Phil Hayes. at the
time graduate manager OF athletics at
West Point and Hugo Bezdek, coach
Of Penn State, was given. us.
THE football field has been in
spected and approved by a score of
the most experienced football men in
the country, including Maj. J. L. Grit
9Th. commissioner of athletics of the
western intercollegiate conference,
known as the Big Ten His inspec-
ton was attended by dozen direct
ors Of athletics, graduate managers
and coaches from the east and the
west and they all agreed with Maj.
Griffith.
The situation seems to be that the
authorities at Washington are to de-
eide upon recommendation made by
athletic associations of each institu-
fion-West Point and Annapolis. The
Yankees feel that inasmuch as they
can provide accommodate for 90
600 more people than have ever at
tended an Army and Navy game the
spectacular event should occur on
their grounds. They have also told
the authorities that as far as terms
are concerned they can write their
own ticket"

ALLIED FLOTILLA
 READY FOR ACTION
Important Movements Expected at
 Canton Soon
By The A.sociated Pres..

By The Associated Press.
 Hong Kong. Dec. ts.--The fotilla Of foreign gunboats in the harbor of Canton, where tense situation has prevailed since the recent threat of Dr. Sun Vat Sen. south China leader. 10 seize the customs funds, apparent ly is preparing for eventualities. Some of the warships lying off Shameen. the foreign section Of Canton, have been cleared for action, and Trench sailors from the cruiser Jules Ferry have landed at Shameen and are sta . toned in the old French post office building.
 The naval forces of foreign powers now concentrated at Canton have been increased by the arrival of three American destroyers. which joined the two American warships, the cruiser Asheville and the gunboat Pam- pangs.
 Five British gunboats. two French and one Portuguese vessel are anch- ored in tho harbor off Shameen.
 The Italians have chartered a steam launch to be used in the trans portation Of sailors from the foreign warships to the shore.
 Apparently the action of the tor- eign fiotilla is due to the recent move of Sun Vat Sen in notifying .hs com missioner Of customs in CsntoG cf his intention to supcrsedc the ,:innis- sioner and the customs staff by new appointees,
 Previously he had declared that hH would take such action m .he event the customs officials refused to turn over to him surplus customs funds Uf Kwangtung province which Sun claims are being diverted 10 Picking and used in the suppression Of the movement he heads.
 Following a meeting of commau- ders Of the foreign warships ani thc consular body. December i2. at which a dispatch from the diplomatic corps at Peking was considered. the cum mander Of Suns forces vas advised 10 use caution, and not 10 seize the customs forciblv. owing to the dipl0- matte complications which would nn- sue.
 Sun is said 10 have been dissuaded from seizing the customs December 1s. although the Rwangtung rehabili- tation society of Canton has issued suggesting that no share Of the custom funds Dc surrendered by the south China governfasnt. as a protest against the action Of foreign in sending Eunbrsts to Canton.
