TuIIty, In the first degree, on the charge of tumbling. Chicago showed marked Improvement yesterday in every department of the game. Grievous fumbling by Perkins and Wight-man was costly to the Maroons, so far as the size of the score Is considered, but aside from this there were no points In which the Maroons were found especially at fault. To the slippery ball and the fact that the backflcld as not used to Sheldon quick passing In the" quarter position. Is probably 'due the gross fumbling of the Maroons.

Monmouth fumbled some, too, but not nearly so much as Chicago. Chicago showed the most Improvement on forming Interference for the man carrying the ba.lL it was this fact which greatly assisted the back field and ends In making good gains around Monmouth's ends. Heretofore every man has been more anxious to tackle the. man with the ball Instead of breaking up the Interference. "Shorty" Ellsworth, with the assistance of Captain Sheldon, surprised the fans by making a place kick from Monmouth's thirty-five-yard line.

This feat brought to the minds of the older enthusiasts the days of Hirschberger and Gordon Clark, who were always dangerous within thirty yards of the gcal. Perkins was" the first Maroon to eat of the fruit In the promised land. After the sphere had exchanged hands fire or six. times and each team had held the other once on downs. Chicago got the ball on her fifty-yard line.

Schnur made thirteen pards around 'Utt end, "Big" Maxwell assisted with several gains sf four and five yards, Perkins lent a 'helping hand with fifteen around right ma. and Speik saw daylight past left end for six yards more. Sheldon and Wight man as sisted with gains and soon Perkins found himself hugging the oval behind the enemy's goal Ellsworth failed on the goal kick. The score at the end of the first half was 7 to 0. In favor of Chicago.

Chicago started the second hilf with a rush and carried Monmouth off her feet. Stagg had cautioned Sheldon about running the team too slow and the Maroons responded to the quick call of their captain. Perkins, Speik. and M. R.

Maxwell helped the ball along and Maxwell made the touchdown. Bezdek signalized his appearance In Perkins' place by making a forty-flve-rard run behind cplfndid interference for a touchdown. When the hair ended Chicago had the ball on her own thirty-yard Itne. The line-up was as follows: Chlraifo. Position.

BpecUl Dispatch to The Inter Ocean. NEW HAVEN. Sept. opened her football season this afternoon at the Tale field by a slashing old victory over Trinity. Tale pushed Trinity's eleven around the gdiron entirely at her own will and finally called the game with a score of 40 to 0.

Trinity proved miserably weak, and 5id not even finish the practice which, the 'varsity men are in the habit of receiving from the Blues' own college line. The visitors proved to be la bad physical condition, and in the second half the play was delayed exceedingly because half oi the Trinity team as. compelled to lay down to recuperate. The game was one that failed to show up the Yale material for this season. The field was muddy and slippery.

Tale's big score may be attributed to the inexperience of the Trinity team and the excellence ef Eli's play. The coaches had hoped to see a gooO practice game, that would bring out what Is In the men. The hope was a forlorn one, and the team which first faced Trinity could have finished the two halvea without an exertion on their part. The line-up of the teams follow: Poeltloa. Ikorhea.J.

Iowa, Sept. 27. A Xamiae la football suits cause trouble at the University of Iowa today. Fifty candidates appeared at Athletic park and donned the Rugby raiment, but seven other men pleaded in vain for unl- i forms, rcr there were no more. The record-treaklng number of applicants for positions on the eleven yet to be named exhausted the supply of anita; and until new ones arrive only those who were at work today caa take part In the gridiron program.

This afternoon. Coach "Kaipe, Assistant and Williams, last year's quarter back, put three full elevens and the seventeen other men through such work as tackling the machine, chasing punts, and above all running signals.

BLOOMINGTON. Sept. 77. The foot-lall squad at Indiana university has been going out twice a day during the past week for prheUce work. Owing to the lack of men, however, they have not aa yet gotten down to real hard work.

The past week's practice baa been made tip largely of punting, running, and tackling. It la thought tuffldest men will arrive early this week to enable Coach Horn to make two or three elevens, since college work begins Wednesday, and for this reason several of the old men and some strong new rnea have not as yet reported. The line now is la great need of heavy material, which. It la believed, will be furnished by the new men who promise to report sooo. The high school stars who are here trying for the team are doing good work, and give promise of becoming strong players.

Johnson, who is a candidate for quarter back, Is situ doing good work. and. If nothing to the- contrary develops, will eaalty make this position. The teara will be put through hard practice work next week on account ef Saturday's game with the Rose Polytechnic institute here on Jordan field. riRDCB TEAK GKTTIXCi I.w HUPB, Practice for Cairo Gaaae Oet.

11 Prove Satisfactory. special IMa patch to The later Ocean. LAFATETTE. IndL, Sept. 27.

A new man will take a place oa the 'varsity eleven next week. His name Is Hamilton, and he has been playing renter on the scrubs, hut Coach Best has shifted him to a line position on the team because of his remarkable speed and veteran-like playing. He la a freshman; but has been a tewer of strength to the scrub team. The practice preparatory to the first Intercollegiate game of the season has been Very satisfactory to Coach Best. The unusual number of men capable of filling back positions 1 very gratifying, though there Is ome uncertainty as to the reliability of the men la the line.

Krall. who has been tried end on the 'varsity, has shown evidence of skill, and scrub gains around his end are few and far between. Hobn is a fixture at right end. EmUe. the new center, made a run the.

length of the field for a touch down last night, retting the ball on a fumble. He weighs over 200 pounds, bat is remarkably fast. Rlebel will remain at guard, his companion cn the other side of the pivot poet being ex Captain Miller. Arnold, who played half last year, was cut today, but he has not been in uniform this season owing to a strained tendon In his leg that will not heal. The loss of Arnold is supplemented by the presence of Osborne of Oberlin, who is a whirlwind at half.

His gains are substantial and regular, and often he carrlts the ball for a long run about the ends. Kaylor, who played guard on the Indian a polls Manual Training school team last year, la developing into a good full back, and It is possible that he will have a lease oa that position. The work of the "varsity In lining up against the scrubs has been fast and snappy. Seldom have the plunges of the barks and the tackles failed to net substantial gains through the scrub line. Coach Best has devised a plan ef playing the tackles back with regularity, alternating them with bucks from line positions.

Alien and Davidson have been tbo Important factors in ground gaining, and they are given the ball on almost every play. Assistant Coach RuaseU Is drilling; the third and second teams and has developed some good material from raw stock. Secret practice for the Chicago game will begin Monday. Little opposition Is looked for from De Pauw. An enormous crowd of rooters will go to Chicago on Oct.

Northwestern defeated the strong Naper-ville Athletic team yesterday at Sheppard field hy a score of 10 to 5, but the Purple toot-ball warriors did not turn the trick until they had received a bad scare, accompanied by visions of a Napervllle victory and a blank space on the Northwestern side of the scoreboard. There.

was gloom last night In the camp of the Methodist university hosts, and not the least disconsolate of the down-neart-ed was Coach Holllster. Left Tackle Wagner, from Napervllle, who weighs 22S pounds, and knows how to use his avoirdupois to stop fierce center rushes, was the chief instrument In turning Purple hopes into prayers for the outcome. It was the husky linesman who picked the- bail out of a mod puddie early in tno arse nail. ana. tucking It under his arm.

made a desperate dash for the goal. Depositing the pigsklaon the other side of the Northwestern line, he scored the first points made against Hollls ter men this season, and in addition In- bt tiled his teammates with such hope that they contended plucklly for the honors of the game throughout the conteat. Disaster overtook the Northweetera team at the beginning of the game. Fumbles by Weese. the diminutive quarter, proved costly.

The lucky side in yesterday's contest as the side that had possession of the ball, and when Napervllle got it Northwestern founj eon side ruble difficulty In getting It away from them. Then Sabia undertook to lift a long punt from his position oa a floating island with the resnlt that before he could get braced to kick the oval a Napervllle man had blocked him. and in the next minute the ball ass being transported toward the 'varsity goal Use by the husky Wagner. Hollister sent In the sane team without a single change except Booth lor Weese at quarter in the second halt. Naperville was forced to replace several men in their line-up.

Fearful of being blanked, the Northwestern eleven took a brace, and the only brilliant playing of the day followed the second kick-off. Scott, who worked like a Trojan; Vaa Ryper, Allen, and Captain Ward, were the stars. Within eight minutes from the commencement of the half Captain Ward crossed the Napervllle tine and tied the score. Five minutes later Van Ryper, after a run of thirty yards, started the Purple candidates oa the road to victory with the second. Naperville had lack with then: and time was called with the Northwestern stern backs preparing to carry it over for the third touchdown.

K. Deverest's Jeaa A. HrKrrroa Will Start for the Ool Cap at eaaphla. There are many ever ready to frame an argument In favor of gambling, and some of these are plausible Indeed. A defense of gambling, per ae; ta something, however.

I do not propose to undertake; that Is. ac-' cording to tho commonly accepted" definition of tbo term, but there are side Issues to the question that sometimes require a little explanation to the "unco guld" who are ever ready to condemn anything that has the appearance of evil, without any consideration or the merits of the case. I have in mind the recent "righteous" awakening- In New England, where the whole machinery of the harness horse industry has come to a sudden stop, owing to the enforcement of tho anti-pool-selling laws by tbe state authorities, after the law had been winked at for years by tho local powers that be. That the new move may be productive of good to the horse interests Is ver? likely, aa It may produce a reversal of the conditions under which trotting has prospered In the East. In a way that will put the business on a healthier basis.

George Ryan, editor of the Chicago Horseman, long a resident of Boston, aao. eeaso-queattT knowing whereof he speaks, puts tho case In a new light. Ho says; "Horseman and track managers should ponder well on the facta In the case. While racing flourished there was more than oao eceaaion when those moat directly Interested In the tracks in that state passed unpleasant days and nights. Tho fact that tho law speculation en the races waa -legal raised a erop of blackmailers, who made themselves felt on more thaa one occasion.

Many of these procurers or blood money acted under the shield of the law, being- either connected with regularly organized police forces, or, worse still, officers of self-constituted law-enforcing oodles, such as tho Watch and Ward society and the Imw and Order league. These latter worked two waya. by aecuring legitimate subscriptions from business men ana the agents hy but lily concealed blackmail. One of tho semi-humorous things la connection with these bodies was that a few years ago many of the contributors who believed that these self-constituted bodies were really doing excellent werlc la supplementing tho work of tho police cut off their subscriptions oa. discovery of the While realising the dangers of their position, the track managers were content to let the easiest way bo the best, and made no determined effort to secure the repeal of the old blue law that encouraged blackmail.

In recent year two of three half-hearted attempta were made to pasa a law making pool selling oat tracks legal, on tinea similar to those which give protection to the New York tracks. Theae attempts were futile, however. "It would seem- bow aa though it waa high, time to make a determined, effort In this direction. It will not be aa easy task, and the attempt may aot be successful this year, hut it can be done, and wUI have to bo accomplished, before breeding and racing will be ta eonditioa to warrant the Inveatmeot at largo sums of money necessary to make them successful. Capital will be ahy to place Itself at tho mercy of blackmailera or those who would settle dlsputea by tbe enforcement of tha old blue laws.

A suitable law can bo secured only by concerted, action on tho part of horsemen and their friends. This means organization and a leader. With a capable leader the battle would be a short one." While the Anglo-Saxon race remains true to Itself and Its hereditary Instincts tbo desire to speculate on Its Judgment will remain, an ever-living evidence of Us enterprise and faith in lta own ability aa well as a sure landmark of tho retention of Its vitality.

If composed of the right, kind, that will give lta undivided eupport to aa experienced secretary.

No one man has done so much to elevate aad encourage amateur racing as Mr. Billings, and In declining to enter one of the many good horses from his own great- stable for this prtxe, following his defeat for tha Boston Challenge cup at the recent Cleveland meeting of amateur clubs, he again shows tho true sportsmanship that baa made him a leador aad an Ideal horseman of whom all America may well feel That cup racing by members of the ama clubs Is a gentleman's game fa amply proven by he graceful, generous manner la which.

Outside of John A. McKerroa'n victory in the Boston cup race. Interest la this year's matinees of tho Gentlemen's Driving club of Cleveland haa centered In the do-or-dle contests that weekly took place between th trotters Jesse O. and Double D. While they raced In the 2:12 class, they are nominally green horse.

Jesse O. having a record of 1:28 only and Double D. none at alL On Aug. 30 tho pair atarted against Alberta D-. 2:14, and forced him to trot the fastest four-heat race on record at a matinee.

startea againat aootner strong neia trotters, and waa tho contending bono la every heat. Ho trotted a- dead heat with Mr. BlUiaga great mare. Imogene. In 2:11.

Singularly, tho beats of Doth these races averaged exactly alike. 2jll I-IS. Directly after this race Jesse O. was purchased by Frank Rockefeller, who turned him over to Doc Tanner to bo educated. Tbe horse, sensible and inteUlgent.

la aa uneducated In a racing way as it la possible for a horse to be, and. tho extreme speed ha haa shown under the circumstances stamps him as oao of tho most marvelous of horses. No eno at Cleveland -doubts his ability to trot a mile at any time In 2:10. and that to wagon. Tho story of hla career la Interesting.

One of tho members of tho Cleveland club, whoso price limit on say fun horse ho bought wss limited to what would ordinarily buy a trotter capable of a mile around 2:20, went to the Chicago horse sale In February. 1901, for new material. Everything bo saw. sad liked, went beyond hla limit until tho last day.when ho saw a big but shapely gelding from Danville. Ind-.

that the owner thought ought to trot In 2:25 In another year. The Clevelander got tho laat bid. $470. aad took tho horse. Jesse Ol.

It proved to be. home. When tho training season opeaod Jeeoo O. waa the most no-account trotter at tho Cleveland track, and In a fit of disgust the amateur retnsmau entered him ta tho tate May sale. Oa the- day of sale courage returned) to the owner, aad to a lumber of friends bo said: ni be aa game as tho horse and fight tt out.

Two weeks later tha ma Line season epenef, and Jesse O. surprised owner and spectators by marching out In front, where ho re mm toed to- tha end of the- contest, scoring a record of Later on ho won In 2:17. anal tha owner then felt that tho horse owed him aothing. but this year. Jesse O.

haa been a sea sat ion a 1 wagon- trotter. He has won heats ta 2.11. 2:12. 12. and halt a doses more Inside of 2: IS.

One ef the amusing incidents of his Cleveland fun career ta that hla owner, who would have been satisfied had his purchase turned out a winner la the minor races, found himself tn hardly than a year of racing the possessor of the fastest class horse In his club, for such Jesse with his wagon record of Is.

They are natural trotters or pacers, come to their speed slow, but improve with every workout, aad the Hose of each season finds these with a lower record and credited with their share of the money.
