PH1LAD e l. p HIA, Nov. 26.
Staid old Philadelphia, the focus
Of culture and repoSe, awoke this
morning to find itself In the
throes Of unwonted turbulence as
the vanguard Of the greatest foot
ball crowd Of the year, 100000
sous, came into town for the
Army.Navy extravaganza bringing
with 1t much disorder and the
sinister suggestion Of a ticket
leak" There were seats to be had
on both Sidelines from $50 a pair
up, according to prices being
quoted along the pavements in
the downtown sector, and the
semtofficial word was that a
rigid investigation" was threat
ened.
AS a matter Of fact, no Army
ano Navy game can be considered
complete without this, the only
difference being that everything
was magnified this time. Indeed,
there seemed every prospect that
all day-hefore records were about
to be broken.
HOTELS SOLD OUT
The hotels were sold to the level
Of the sidewalks. The bars were
playing the Yale system Of the
five-man lin e, m a n in 6 five
abreast as they fought at the en-.
trance. The dining rooms and
clubs rang to revelry by night, the
streets to confusion by day. In
other words, this gaudiest of fan
tastes was bursting into a prelude
that bade fair, as we say down at
the hitching post, to achieve a
crashing crescendo well in ad-
vance of its supposed climax.
The supposed climax is the ball
game tomorrow, but somehow it
occupied a strangely secondary
place in the prevailing uproar
over the arrival here of an invad-
ing horde from New York, Wash.
ington, Baltimore, Boston and the
Atlantic Seaboard cities, with
even the Middle West running
them into town as fast as trains
could bring them. New York alone
was to establish an inter-city foot
ball crowd record tomorrow with
$4,000 coming on the railroads be-
tween 8 o'clock and noon.
ROADS CLUTTERED
In all, the Pennsylvania was run
ming 80 special trains, in addition
to six more making their regular
morning "run," while the roads
were to be glutted with a caravan
Of motor travel.
Even the Navy football team,
flouting trae;t;on, will make the
trip from Annapolis on the morn
ing Of the game, the decision being
to escape the hysteria here by
finishing its preparations within
the welcome tranquility of the
Academy reservation. The Army,
arriving II strong last night, es-
tablished headquarters at Green
Hill Farms in the suburbs and will
come in this afternoon for q brief
workout at the Sesqui Stadium
where the game will be played.
The Navy won't see the place until

Sees Lofty Post
For Indians

CLEVELAND, Feb. 12.-Com-
pleting preparations for his clubs
spring training work which be-
gins in three weeks, Alva Bradley,
owner Of the Cleveland Indians,
said today that he agreed with
other baseball men who have
picked the Indians TO finish near
the top next season.
Pointing to the fact that Man
ager Joe Mccarthy of the cham
pion New York Yankees recently
tabled the Detroit Tigers and In
dianS as the clubs he most feared,
Bradley foreSeeS a chance of that
other being rearranged by the pen
nant race. His club may finish
even better than third, he said.
Optimism is apparent among
all the officials, despite a question
able infield, loss of Outfielder Joe
Vosmik through a trade, and .
fifth place finish last season.
Steve O'Neill, the battle-scarred
manager, said the club should be
up there" and Cy Slapnicka, vet
eran scout and now right hand
man to Bradley, predicted the In
dianS would be las good as any
club in the league, barring a re-
currence of the bad breaks Of last
season."
Hopes are based largely on the
pitching staff, with Bob Feller, the
rookie sensation, expected to be.

1t may be that the committee
will decide that the best possible
time will be had by all having the
football field banked on all turns
to avoid crowding.
The committee can do almost
anything, except make a sensible
statement as regards what conSti-
tutes pass interference. Pass in
reference, as far as I'm concerned,
may constitute anything, except
downright assault, and it is always
possible that the intended receiver
will only get a punch on the nose,
instead of the football.
Therefore, if he gets a punch on
the nose on the three-yard line
can't for the life of me see
why the defense is in dither. II
the man wasn't absolutely Smeared
he probably would have caught the
pass and gone over for a touch

why this should not be so.
In consequence I wonder and
you wonder what the rules com.
mittee intends to do about some
thing that seems very obvious to
everybody else. Either the man
was entitled to catch the pass and
proceed where he would or the

whim of a committee of guys who

The Eastern tour of the Hoya
golfers will be climaxed with the
North and South Amateur, at
Pinenurst, with all G. U. players
competing.
Georgetown in 1887 should have
one Of the best intercollegiate COM
binations. With Maury Nee, Bill
Dettweiler, Harvey johnson, Dick
Kreuzburg, Charlie Pettijohn and
Capt. Jim Lee available for duty,
giving the Hoyas three sophs, one
junior and two seniors, George
town ought to develop this season
as good a team as the Hilltoppers
ever have had, if not the best in
the history of Georgetown golf.
More than likely, only five of
the six golfers will make the South
ern trip.
If the weather remains as mild
as it has been, the Hoyas should
be in good shape when they start
South some 40 days hence, for the
players will have had ample op-
portunity to practice. If, however,
bad weather sets in, and the
HoyaS are unable to practice out
in the open and over regulation
courses, Georgetown's team will be
at a decided disadvantage in its

sales of anti-freezes during the
unusually warm winter months
were well below normal levels.
Current indications are that
manufacturers of fertilizer,
whose business is subject to wide
fluctuations, will report for their
fiscal year ending June 80, 1887,
earnings well above those regist-
cred in the preceding year. For
some months the price structure
has been firm and sales are
considerably above those of a
year ago. With farm incomes
continuing to rise and with large
crops to be planted, it is ap-
parent that distribution of ferti-
lizer will continue to increase dur

6. F. EARNINGS,
SALES MOUNT

NEW YORK, March 27.-Gen-
erai Foods Corporation during
1896 enjoyed the best sales since
1929 and the best earnings since
1881, according to C. M. Chester,
chairman of the board, and Clar-
ence Francis, president, in their
remarks to shareholders and en-
ployes as contained in the pam
phlet report.
Net earnings in 1886 amounted
to $14,240,957, or $z.71 a share on
5,25l,440 common shares, as
against $11,730.76s, or $2.23 a
share in 1885.
Current assets at the close of
1896 were $47,161, ,695.43, COM
pared with $42,209, ,501.62 for the
preceding year. Current liabili-
ties were $10,449, ,998.22, compared
with $6,7s9,s9l.94 at the end Of
1885.
New products, including Hus-
kies, Post-O, and Jell-O Freezing
Mix were introduced on a COM
mercial basis in numerous districts
during 1886.
Total sales of Birds Eye quick
frozen products in 1886 were so
per cent ahead of 1885. Retail
sales outlets for Birds Eye num-
bered 1874 at the end of 1886;
they passed the 1000 mark early

Good Progress Noted
LIN Chemical Industry

Due to broadening industrial &C.
tivity with consequent increased
demand for chemical products,
the chemical industry is continu-
ing the excellent progress of 1886,
it is reported in an analysis ap-
pearing in Poor's Industry and
Investment Surveys.
Sales of chemical products for
last year are estimated at IL per
cent to Is per cent above those of
1885. The report adds:
In many cases increases in
earning power exceeded the
sales gain. Moreover, these strik-
ing profits were recorded despite
chemical price levels consider
ably below those of 1929. This
attests to steady gains in ef-
ficiency.
Despite the favorable outlook
for the industry as whole, the
prospects for certain chemical
branches are obscure. Although
sulphur shipments have in
creased materially, the Texas
legislatures proposal to advance
the taxes on sulphur from $1.O3
to So a ton will check profits.
Prices for commercial alcohol
remain relatively low. Moreover,
