Rich and Holt. The men said they were Edward J. Griff, Twelfth street, near Fairmount avenue, and Jake Miller, Summer street, near Fifteenth.

The former was fined $10 by Magistrate Gorman in the Central Station, and his companion was eagerly discussing the game then in pros- Eect. At the hotels wherethe teams had een quartered, there was cheerful chatter; about the prospects for each. Dining Rooms Quickly Killed Contrasted to this bustle was the scene of the afternoon, while the great throng was at the Then the hotels presented a deserted appearance. But underneath the outward service was unceasing activity. The great kitchen forces were Tleven husky young men walked dejectedly to the Army dressing room yesterday afternoon after "Jack" Brown had won the game by kicking two goals.

They were members of the Army team. Once in the dressing room the defeated players sat down and several wept. Captain Devore, captain of the team, cried so much that coaches, trainers and others in the room believed him to be hysterical. Efforts on the part of the trainers to remove his shoes proved futile. The leader of the Army team sat with his head both hands and refused to be solaced.

Several other players were so much affected by the defeat that it was necessary for trainers to undress them. Much alarm was caused in the Hotel Wa ton ear.y yesterday morning when smoke from a trifling blaze in the basement of the hostelry routed many guests, including members of the Annapolis football team, which yesterday defeated West Point At the time the hotel was filled to its capacity with naval officers, retired and active, and their relatives and friends, who came to this city to witness the game. Cries of fire awakened several members of the football squad, who aroused their companions. Lieutenant Douglass Howard, coach of the team, made his appearance on the ninth floor of the hotel, which was occupied by the players, a few minutes after the first alarm had been sounded. With Captain Rodes and "Scotty" Mc-Masters, the veteran trainer, he marshaled the Middies in line.

They prepared to march from the hotel in order. A hurried investigation showed that the blaze was trifling and that the scare had been caused hyi smoke. In the 'meanwhile, however, several men and women had hurried to the lobby-fearing danger. Before their arrival there the fire, which began in bell boys' lockers, had been extinguished. Jl em Two proud animals a large goat and black and gray mule glared at each other from opposite sides of Franklin Field early yesterday fternoon, while military bands blared and two gatherings of young men engaged in maddening yells.

Ten thousand pairs of yes were focused on the high-stepping nmle-as it was led by two stalwart cadets up and down the south side of the field, and as many pairs of optics were directed at the got as it followed a tall naval student up and down the north side of the in-closure. The larger animal enjoyed the distinction of being the Army mule, while the smaller was none other than the Navy goat. Both were bedecked in the colors of their respective followers. Step ping high, the mule glanced askance and appeared to feel just in the proper mood to "get the Navy's goat." Jut the "Billy" retained its nerve and snorted in response to "He haws" from the opposite side of the gridiron. Several times the Naval animal leaped into the air and almost did a genuine goat dance at the conclusion of.

the game. Middies picked up their emblem and hugged it. Others in the blue niforms of Uncle Sam's future admirals rushed across the field and surrounded the mule which, with drooping head, stood still while the brilliant blanket bearing the Army insignia was removed. Slowly the mule turned its. head-watching a throng of almost-mad Middies rush across the field bearing the blanket.

It was a prize worth winning. Prancing about the goat patiently awaited the arrival of the victors. Over it the mule's blanket was thrown only to be removed snrm nfoi-rowi tv, FREE KIDNEY CURE There Is No Need of Any Man or Woman Having Aching Back, Kidney or Bladder Troubles, or Rheumatism 50c BOTTLE (32 Doses) FREE the coveted pasteboard at fancy prices. The middle of each street presented a solidly moving stream of automobiies, taxicabs and trolley cars. Thirty-fourth street, upon whicll Franklin Field faces, was the verging point of the streams of pedestrians and vehicles.

This made a picturesque scene, the pavement crowded with the long, slowly moving line approaching the entrance. From the automobiles drawn up for a movement, there came every second reinforcements to this invading army. Lnncheou on Campus There was a new wrinkle inaugurated yesterday. The friends of the midshipmen unfolded it. It was nothing more or less than al fresco luncheons on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania, served shortly after the midshipmen arrived.

"After the game was the scene of big jollity. Navy adherents were wild with enthusiasm. The Army rooters somewhat chastened, could not resist the temptation to join in the celebration and fun, and chatter and banter was fast and furious. Over the same thoroughfares from which they had wended their way to Franklin Field the spectators at the game returned. From then until theatre time last evening the hotels and cafes of the centre of the city were filled to their capacity.

Every available dining chair and table was occupied, and there were large numbers waiting to be served in each hostelry. Chestnut street presented the prettiest scene of the whole affair. Philadelphia's pretty girls, augmented by charming visitors, with cheeks tingling in the brisk coolness of the late autumn afternoon, moved slowly along in one of the finest holiday crowds ever seen here. Then when the younger folks had cleared off for home, those who had been dining appeared for a stroll before going to the theatre. After the theatre and until nearly 1 o'clock the streets were thronged by a real holiday crowd.

STORE CLOSES 6 P.

M. DAILY Taxing to their fullest capacity every hotel in the city and all of the cafes, the crowd in hiladelphia yesterdayP as a consequence of the Army and Navy football game the hostelries presented an animated scene last night. Chief interest centred around the Hotel Walton and the Bellevue-Stratford. In the Walton were quartered the gridiron warriors of the Navy, while the Army players held the centre of the stage at the Believue-Stratford. The other hotels divided among them the host of officials and relatives and friends of Uncle Sam's embryo lighters.

While activities on the part of this army of visitors began in the morning, the prettiest picture was during the evening. Throughout the day the constantly moving stream of humanity guests presented varying appearances, but in the evening the brilliant gowns of tbe women contrasted against the sombre garments of the men presented a picture that has seldom or never before been equaled hdre before. Hotels Taxed to Limit At noon yesterday it was impossible to get either rooms or table reservations at any of the hotels or cafes. And still the invasion continued. Seldom before has there been such a test of the hotels of Philadelphia.

The day's events transpired without a hitch. The hotel managements fearful of the lonz threatened waiters strike, had taken every precaution and were in readiness for any move Nothing, however, happened to mare teh pleasant and friendly bustle that prevailed. Tlie clerical force of every hotel was on constant duty and the visitors were all handled easily and with dispatch. Managers declared that last night was the biggest night in the history of the local hotel business. The demands on the capacity of the various restaurants and cafes began yesterday morning.

At luncheon every available table was in use with a throng ITSELF WEST POINT mighty roar of mingled approval and joy. There was no limit to either enthus-siaam or noise. The emblems of the Army and Navy were waved high in the air and merriment became so infectious that often the cheering of the great student body of the University of Pennsylvania, massed at one end of the field, could not drown the various forms of noise-making it assumed. There was a cyclone outburst of noise when the rival teams appeared upon the field, and the moleskin-clad players began to limner up for the seventeenth game that the Army and Navy and their hosts of friends and admirers have shouted themselves hoarse over since 1800. It was big "Jack" Brown who started the fray bv kicking off from the 25-yard line, the same "Jack" Brown who later wa3 to cause victorv to once more nestle upon the blue and gold standard of Annapolis.

From then on until the last moment of the conflict there was plenty of rough and tumble football to satisfy the most expectant gridiron enthusiast. When all was over and the sun was sinking in the West, the cohorts of An napolis took possession of the field and executed a series of triumphal dances and rations as an outlet of their iov I 1 1 .1 I i-uey Kiuuappea tne Array mule and then captured the Army's flag, tearing It to ribbons and bearing off bits of it as souvenirs of the third successive gridiron victory of the doughty pblanket was taken back to Annapolis us a. iiopny.

Y. CLOTHING CO. 438 Market St. SUJ.OO offered such an array of stvles- in $13.50 3 Each year the crowd going to Franklin Field to view the Army-Navy classic football struggle seems to grow in size, and yesterday proved no Pedestrians, automobilists, riders in equipages of every sort, and those who used trolley cars, were centred upon its entrances for two hours in the early afternoon, and from the same gateways departed after the Navy's victory had been properly observed on the field. It seems that three times a year Phil-adelphians have their choice of seeing a crowd or being in one.

The event of the three is the Army-Navy game. Hallowe'en affords another and the annual New Year parade is the third. Thirty-one thousand persons were in the various streams of humanity that moved towards Franklin Field-yesterday. It was a great crowd and a great day for footballs- Up to a late hour last night most of those who had been banking on the Army winning were reported convalescing from their surprise and excitement attendant upon the capturing of the game by the Navy in the last part of play. Crowd Starts From Hotels The atmosphere and color of the game permeated the entire city yesterday.

The Walton Hotel was the headquarters of the Navy. Across Broad street at the Bellevue-Stratford the Army team was quartered. The crowd seemed to begin at the hotels, and by the means of Walnut, Chestnut and Market streets wended its way to the field. Caravans of motor cars found their way to the field. Lieutenant Mills, of the traffic squad, declared that there were twice as many motor cars at the game yesterday than at any other event ever held in this city.

Women were to be seen in profusion. They were all of a type, which is to say, they were beautiful, wearing furs and burdened with yellow chrysanthemums and violet? to represent either the Naval Academy or the West Point institution respective- Officialdom, socialdom and the business world could be detected after a single glance over the passing thronsr. Then, of course, later, when Franklin Field was reached, the body of men was augmented by the students of Old Penn and the cadets from the government military and naval academies.

Scores of policemen were stationed in the streets affording an approach to the amphitheatre or about the entrances to it, and traffic rules were enforced that both those who rode and those who walked found irksome. Rapidly the big stands began to fill. The weather was idea! and the early comers were many. It was towards noon 'when the special trains bearing the West Point Cadets arrived at the South Street i Station of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Three minutes later trie stuaeni douj from Annapolis reached the same station in their special coaches.

Megaphones Barred As the West Pointers, looking every inch like soldiers in their trim blue uniforms, fell into line and swung away from the station with military precision they were cheered by the crowds which had assembled to them welcome. Acting under orders from their officers, they carried neither megaphones or flags as in former years, but with heads erect and faces set. moved on to eight-man Hall, at the University of Pennsylvania, where luncheon awaited them The midshipmen supplied more color and noise when they hopped from their train and fell into line. They wore rosettes of blue and gold and their hands grasped the flags of blue and gold that were later to give so much color to the inspiring scenes within Penn's in-closure. Megaphones they, too, lacked, however, only their cheer leader being permitted to cany one of the noise-making devices through which, at former games, both the West Point cadets and Annapolis lads have sung their songs and given vent to their characteristic yells.

Lead Mule and Goat Mascot When the invaders from both West Point and Annapolis had had luncheon they proceeded by different routes to Franklin Field, the cadets escorting an army mule as their mascot and the midshipmen two gayly decorated goats. An the "middies," in their gray uniforms, marched with a rhythmical movement as soldierly as that of the phalanx from up tlie Hudson, through the streets to the big stadium great streams of men and women were already flowing towards it. The marching column of West Pointers was also enveloped by great crowds that poured towards the huge amphitheatre. The sidewalks of Thirty-third street and other thoroughfares leading to it ywere jammed with good-natured loliday throngs. Long lines extended to the turnstiles, where ticket takers were busily engaged in accepting bits of colored pasteboard and passing their possessors inside.

Tier after tier of seats apidly rilled up. Box holders were late a coming, and until long after noon many blocks of reserved seats remained aiocoupied. But not ior long. As the head of the column of West 'oint cadets, thirty-two abreast, mt upon the field, moving with the prc-ision of veteran soldiers, thousands had ilready gathered inside, while outsid'? He streets were black with kumanitv. doming to a standstill before the north tand, where a large section of seat-ad been reserved for them, the soldier-y looking young men, in their blue uni-brms, presented an inspiring sight as prepared to enter the stand.

nivnlN Exchanse Cheers Across the field, in the centre of the outh stand, reservations had been made for the gray-uniformed midshipmen, and their appearance on the field was a signal for as great an outburst of cheering on' the part of the Navy adherents as had greeted the West Pointers from the Army contingent. As the cadets and the midshipmen settled themselves in their seats there camf from the latter the (stirring song, to the tune of "Anchors Aweigh," which, han as follows: Stand, Navy, down the field Sail set to the sky; We'll never change our course. So, Army, you steer shy Roll up the score, Nary, Anchors aweiph; Sail, Nbtj-, down the field Ami flnk the Army, Sink the Army gray. Not to be outdone by the Navy, the West Pointers and their followers joined the following song: Chorus air, "Yip-I-addy-I-ay." We'll sink the Navy today, I 'own 'em the old Army way. When they jro back to Navy town They will go with their heads hanging down.

We'll sink the Navy npRin today. My heart wants to holler Hurray; (Hurray!) Ail the people will say, "It's a his Army day. Rip their anchors away! All the while crowds outside were "ontinuing to storm the gates and seats and boxes were rapidly filling up. From the bands of both the West Pointers and the midshipmen came the inspiring strains of the various songs which came alternately from the south and the north stands. Whenever music or song momentarily Idied away or the raucous yel's of either the future admirals or the future generals temporarily ended, a murmur of enthusiasm swept -over --the multitudes which soon swelled into a is Here's the Peerless Christmas Gift of Them All Our $650, Complete- 88-Note, Fully Guaranteed Goocertone PlayerPiamio Tilae From The Chaises!

On opposite sides of the field the midshipmen of Annapolis and the cadets of West Point each formed a great patch of gay color, while over the heads of thousands fluttered either the blue and gold of the navy or the blue, gold and gray of the army. Everywhere dashes of color were spilled upon the seething masses of noisy humanity, by the richly-trimmed hats, gowns and furs of the women or the wealth of golden chrysanthemums and red and pink carnations. Color simply ran riot over the vast assemblage.

The sun reflected every shade and tint of the rainbow. A holiday atmosphere pervaded every nook of the mammoth stands and joy reigned supreme in the hearts of the record-breaking gathering of those who had been fortunate enough to become the possessors of the coveted tickets to the great amphitheatre beyond the Schuylkill. President I'nable to Attend President Taft was not there, official business keeping hirn at Washington, while the Secretary of War was far away in the Panama Canal Zone, but Secretary of the Navy George Von L. Meyer and many other government officials graced the occasion with their presence. Scores of army and navy officers of high rank, both on the retired list, occupied boxes or sat side by side with officers of lesser grades in the tiers of seats.

For the day Philadelphia had become the capital of the Nation again. All roads led here. The hotels were filled with men and women prominent in the social and official life of this and other countries. Luncheons were given before the game and elaborate dinners afterwards. Re unions were held by society men and women of this and other cities.

Officers fresh from the Philippines or Panama greeted these who had come all the way from Western army posts or naval stations. Veterans of the Civil and the Spanish-American Wars met once more and cheered as lusti for either the Army or the Navy as the "plebe" from West Point or the "middy' from Annapolis. Crowds ITp Early The sun was not long up in the Eastern sky yesterday morning before the lobbies of the Bellevue-Stratford, the headquarters of the Army, and the Ilote! Walton the Navy centre, began to assume an atmosphere of bustling anticipation. In other hostelries hosts of visitorst were also bestirring themselves early, while in the mansions of society on West Spruce and Hue streets matrons and maids began to don their best bib and tucker while the morning was etil young.

American flags fluttered from house and shop windows while the blue and gold of the Navy and the blue, gold and gray of the Army caught the brilliant rays of the morning sun.
