BELT LOSES TO
STAMFORD 1910

The first football game of the sea
son on the home field resulted In Z
victory for the Stanford team by {
score Of three touchdowns to none.
| The game was called shortly before
o'clock before a small number oi
spectators. The field was in excellent
condition and had beeen marked IN q
very acceptable manner for the game
Tex Harper was the referee and Bob
Heron head linesman.
The game was devoid of any very
startling plays. Wilkins, the fleet
fulIback for the visitors, got away for
several long end runs. Boboth inter-
cepted forward pass and ran 40
yards before he was downed only to
have the ball brought back on an off
side play.
Both teams relied mainly on
straight football but Stanford at times
worked the pass very successfully.
Belt only completed one forward pass
but the runner was downed in his
tracks. After the first few minutes Of
play it was apparent that the visitors
had the better team. Their line held.
Their interference ran low and well
punched. Their passing was accurate
and well timed. Their catching Of
passes was sure and their line bueking
hard. On the other hand, the home
team were obviously overconAe with
stage fright or buck fever. In the ex-
citement of their first game they for
got pretty much everything which they
had been taught
The line stood erect in order to get
better view Of the game and their
opponents went through at will The
ends on the defensive allowed them
selves to be drawn in where they were
harmless. The tackling was Of the in
ocuous type which was not intended
10 even hurt the visitors feelings. The
passing WAS erratic and while some
rood place kicking was done for Belt,
the punting left much to be desired
The interference Was such only In
name, each man seemingly trying 10

ball ~ possible

Sunday morning about o'clock, two
miles below Belt near the new bridge
was staged an impromptu boxing con-
test between a Belt man and znsther
from Stanford.
Everything was harmonious. There
was no i'll win in the matter, the sole
incentive for the fight, besides the
love of the game, was a purse of $40.
Four cars were so placed that their
lights illuminated what served as a
ring. A referee was selected The
rules agreed upon were sthat there
was to be no wrestling nor hitting
when man was down.
The fight started off with the Belt
man in the lead, the Stanford repre-
sentative having his left arm put out
of commission in the opening rounds.
The Stanford man came back game
ly after repeated knock downs looking
for more. After 35 minutes of fight
ing the Belt man ran out of breath,
while the Stanford man was boring in
with his one good hand and, dispair-
ing Of whipping his opponent who by
all the accepted ideas of endurance
should have been kayoed a dozen
times, the Belt man threw up the
sponge.
The spectators agree that it was a
good fight and that both contestants
win have wholesome respect for the
other from this time on.
A man about town laments the fact
that though he spent hundred good
silver simoleons and much good time
to see the Shelby fight, the only good
mill of the season was pulled off un-
der his very nose and he knew moth
ing about it.

"FIu" and Pneumonia Cases
Increase and Fuel Scarcer
Than Ever.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-With her
hospitals crowded by "flu" and
pneumonia cases, and fuel scarcer
than at any previous period during
the season, New York is bending
every effort on this second day of
her armistice with winter to bring
barge loads of coal across the ice
encountered reaches of the Hudson
river from New Jersey to build up
reserve supply against a possible
return of cold weather.
Never before in the history of the
city have hospitals been as over
crowded. Officials attribute this
largely to the severe weather and
shortage of fuel, in addition TO a
great many accident cases due TO
ice-coVered pavements and slippery
streets.
At Bellevue Hospital, two of the
surgical wards have been given
over to pneumonia and "flu" cases.
Extra cots have been installed in
corridors and Railways.
New York Hospital is also crowd
ed to capacity. Patients treated by
ambulance surgeons from that in.
vue.
Coal movement across the Hudson
will be continued day and night IN
an effort to relieve the emergency.
This was decided by officials Of
the State fuel administration, who
yesterday watched tugs towing
barges of anthracite battle river ice
under conditions which they de-
scribed as "disheartening."
Most of the big dealers here have
begun operating their trucks in
night shifts in order to rush arriv-
ing coal Immediately to fuelless GUS
toners.
Westminster county, to the north,
also is suffering from a fuel fam
inc. Shade trees have been cut
down for fuel and schools in out
lying towns forced to close.
