Columbus. Oct. 8. The Indianapolis team confidently expected to win today's game and end the cup series, but they were disappointed. There was not a time during the game when they had even a chance to win.

Evans, for Columbus, pitched effectively, while Foreman was hit hard, the Senators rapping out three triples in the fifth inning. Kt hoe's home run in the seventh was the only run to which the visitors were really entitled. The game was marked by snappy fielding. Mertes' eight put-outs in eentertield was the feature of the game, some of his catches being on the sensational order. Hulen's work at short was also brilliant.

8.t Special. Hot, tired, and covered with dust. Captain E. O- Bowen of Company Third Regiment, scorched up in front of the Barber Block at 8:13 o'clock this afternoon, where Colonel Fred Bennitt was surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd, and handed the- Colonel the following message: Colonel Fred Bennitt, Commander Third Infantry, Joliet, III. Dear Colonel: In order to Increase Interest In regular weekly drill we would suggest that the Regimental Adjutant forward each commander monthly reports showing percentage of attendance at drill and thereby create a friendly rivalry between the companies.

Your obedient servant. MAJOR R. J. SHAND. Third Infantry, Commander Second Battalion.

During the encampment of the Third Regiment, Illinois National Guard, at Springfield last month, Captain E. Bowen of Joliet and Major Caughey of Elgin conceived the idea of transmitting a message from a certain point some distance from Joliet, the regimental headquarters, by bicycle riders In relays. The plan was talked over and It was finally decided that Rock-ford, being the farthest point in the regimental district, should be the starting point. Rockford is 114 miles from Jollet, This morning Lieutenant Colonel Fisher of Rockford dictated a message to Major Shand, also of Rockford, and promptly at 8 o'clock Major Shand handed the message to two of the fastest bicycle riders of the regiment. They were like the wind; the route lay from the starting point to Belvldere, Belvidere to Marengo, Woodstock to Algonquin, to Elgin, to Geneva, to Aurora, to Plainfield, to Joliet time, 7 hours 15 minutes.

Owing to an accident near Woodstock there was a delay of an hour. The roads were suffocatingly filled with dust, making wheeling difficult, and tha riders were used up, although a relay was taken every ten miles. The fastest time made was between Aurora and Joliet, twenty-three miles, being covered in 1 hour and 18 minutes. The experiment, the lirst attempted iq. the State militia, Is a pronounced success.

Louis. 0 0 0 1 The fourth division cutter crew again established its supremancy over the racing cutter crews of the Naval Reserve yesterday afternoon in the basin and won by half a length from the third division boat, which beat the second by a length in an exciting contest. The day was a perfect one for racing; the dead calm which prevailed and the moderately cool weather were all that could be wished. The start was made on a line due weBt from the south pier at Van Buren street gap, and the finish was an imaginary line drawn from the Argo Boat clubhouse to the outer pier. The second division had the outside, while the fourth held the shore course, the third oomlng In between.

On the start all took the water evenly, the second splashing, but pulling a fast stroke and taking the lead. The fourth pulled easily and seemed to rely on the steady pulling, while the third pulled an erratic stroke. Towards the finish the strokes of the first division Endlam and James, both navymen, Endlam from the United States service and James from the English navy raised the stroke, and the fourth pulled ahead, the third being a quarter of a length behind. Shephard, the coxswain of the third, steered badly and lost fully twenty feet In the excitement at the finish. The fourth finished pulling a strong, easy stroke, with the third cutter half a length behind.

Time, Quite a crowd had assembled to witness the races, and the victorious crew was greeted with cheers. The officials were: Starter, II. C. Haeineman. Columbia Yacht club; referee.

Bryan. A. S. Trude returned yesterday at noon from his ranch on Snake River, Idaho, where he has been hunting, fishing, summering, and talking to W. J.

Bryan. He left his father, his dogs, and his hired man in Omaha, but that was because the train pulled out without them. He says W. J. Bryan Is a wonderful man.

It seema they were accustomed to go fishing together in a tin canoe, and that Bryan would sit in the stern and recite all the state documents in history while they filled the boat with fish. The ex-candidate was only there a week, but he managed to make a speech, flsfi all day. write letters all night, and do other things that made him famous a year ago. The party brought back the head and antlers of a moose that measures six feet seven inches from tip to tip. This ia the trophy of Mr.

Trude's two sons, Dan and Walter. It was brought back to be introduced as an exhibit for the defense. The Chicago attorney is loud In praises of his ranch. It is located on a point of land that juts cut into the river. It boasts of a natural wild grape arbor three mlle3 long and of all the attributes of the Garden of Eden, as Mr.

Trude says Including the fruit. There is eome sort of a wonderful berry, called the sarves berry, that is so good nature has forbidden its export by making it spoil in, a lower latitude. The ranch is located on the edge of the Yellowstone Park, and buffalo come over into the yard and trample up the flower beds. Besides the moose the party killed several elk, plenty of deer and ducks, and caught boatloads of fish. The Trude family went to their ranch on July 14, and have been gathering health, rest, and adventures ever since.

Mr. Trude is now back in Chicago, but he hasn't been here long enough to write hia experiences. THREATEN TO BURN A TOWN. Prairie Fires Sweep Over South Dakota, Endangering Property and Life. Rapid City, S.

Oct. 3. Special. Heavy fires have been raging to the north and south of this section for four days, and the citizens are exhausted from having to fight the flames to prevent their homes and property being destroyed. All night i00 men fought the flames approaching from the north and finally succeeded in saving the town, though many farmhouses were burned.

The fire had approached within two miles of town. It had been burning for four days in the heaviest timbered part of the Black Hlls. It was swept towards Rapid City in a eolld sheet of flames two miles wide. It was fought by men with wet gunny sacks, while others plowed around threatened property. If the wind had not abated the town would have been destroyed.

To the south, along the Nebraska line, come reports of disastrous fires. Much farm property has been destroyed, but as far as known no lives have been lost. Chicago Junction, Oct. 8. The prairie fire Is still raging here.

The flames have reached the gardens and the village of the Hollanders' Celery company, and hundreds of men are fighting to keep the flames from entering the village. The wind at present is favorable. Over 8,000 acres of farm land lie in waste. Many families have deserted their homes, leaving crops end stock to perish in the flames. The damage already done amounts to thousands of dollars.

3. The Indianapolis and Columbus players held a conference tonight and decided not to out the cup series, the Indianapolis men refusing to play any more games except on their own grounds. The players of both teams were anxious to return to their respective homes and the Columbus team agreed to give Indianapolis the cup. the Hoosiers having won three out of the five games played. Each player received "about $75 over expenses in the cup series out of the receipts.

BU Louis, Oct. 3. Special. It la hard to decide whether the season closed with a blaze of glory or a dull thud, at any rate, the finish furnished fun, and after a half day's hard work the Colts and Browns divided the honors and profits of the tin cup series. The first verdict was awarded to the Browns by mistake and by a score of 10 to 8, and the second victory, earned by brilliant work, was given to the Colts by a score of 7 to 1.

Both games furnished lively sport and the innings were marked by frequent brilliant atures. Griffith lost the first game more through professional courtesy than any known reason. He had Von der Ahe's pets shut out and feebly fighting fate up to the seventh. Then he and Callahan gave der Browns seven runs. After that they grew uncontrollable and batted out the victory in the last round.

Only, a small crowd came to see the finals. They came to scoff and remained to cheer after the unexpected victory forced itself upon the Browns. The stories of the games are short, but full of pathos, la the initial matinee performance the Colts careened along and made all the running.

Anson started operations In the second by soaking Ludhoff's favorite slant across the fence. Kittridge's triple, fluke singles by Ryan and McCor-mlck, a brilliant steal by the latter, and Harleys awful muff of Anson's hit added three more In the second. Connor's triple and Griffith's torrid stroke at Hartman made another in the A gift to McCormick, followed by Lange's drive into the lake, manufactured a couple In the fifth. A beautiful double, worked by Cross, kept more runs off the Colts' list in the sixth. Anson cracked his second homer through the fence to start the seventh.

All this time Griffith had been toying with Little can be told of the relative strength of the Western football teams which played their opening college games on Saturday, Perhaps Wisconsin made the best showing, but so little is known of the comparative worth of the minor teams which furnished practice that anything definite is an absolute Impossibility. Michigan and Illinois met tho heaviest teams of the lot, with Purdue's opponents next. Monmouth is a light team, and so is Lake Forest, but both were in fairly good training and managed to make a fair attempt at playing football. Judging from all reports, the development of the game is not great at any institution, although the Badgers report good team work. Chicago's work was irregular, occasional plays revealing what the team will be able to do later, but the second half was a mere farce so far as football Is concerned, the Maroon walking down the field at will.

They had tired out their opponents. The scores were all about equal so far aa touchdowns go. The kicking cut the biggest figure in the total results. Chicago made six touchdowns, kicked six goals, and scored one field goal; Wisconsin and Minnesota each made six touchdowns and three goals: Illinois made five touchdowns and three goals. Michigan made four touchdowns and kicked all the goals.

Ivlckers In Demand. From the games played, the fact seems prominent that kicking will constitute a much greater factor in the games than heretofore. Illinois and Wisconsin tried field goals, unsuccessfully it is true, but they are training men for that part of the work. Pat O'Dea ia a wonderful kicker and said to be accurate when in practice. Enochs is said to be doing fairly well in practice at Illinois.

Even Herschberger missed four out of five and none was unusually difficult. Michigan hopes to have a skillful kicker and all are training to meet Herschbergcr's work. Illinois and Chicago in their games on Saturday met full backs of unusual merit in such small teams. The exchange of punts was nearly even at Marshall Field, and It was by kicking that the Monmouth team got near enough to Chicago's goal to make a touchdown. Hoover of the Eureka team also kept Illinois busy and an exchange of punts gained nothing for tha Champaign team.

Minnesota's line and backs played well. Wisconsin's whole team played excellently for so early in the season, and both backs and ends did well, but the line was the strongest point. Michigan's work, so reports say, shows a weakness in the line and the need of heavy men. Chicago's work was good by spells. The backs did good work, but the line men were a littla weaker.

The backs and ends did the work for Illinois, the line being much slower than in practice. Johnston bids fair to be the star of the Illinois team. Work of New Men. Bowdlce, the new man from South Dakota, is one of the most promising of Chicago's new men. Wisconsin is rejoicing in tha work of Hazard, a new center, who, the cardinal rooters say, is an equal of Hull.

Teetzel is doing great work for Michigan and is likely to be one of the Wolverines' beat gainers. Another week will bring the teams Into condition so that a better line on their work can be gained, and harder games aro arranged accordingly. It is only two weeks before Northwestern and Chicago meet on Marshall Field and the maroon is in need of practice for that event. Western teams look enviously at the heavy list of players at work at Evanston, but their very unwleldiness Is their undoing so far, for their work at practice is far from encouraging, and the team of heavy men without the fast backs. Van lioozer and Potter, is far less to be feared than a team which is faster and not quite so heavy all through.

THISTLES WIN JACKSON CUP. Tie for the Challenge Trophy Settled by Association Football Team at Pullman. The deciding game for the championship of the Chicago Football association was played yesterday afternoon at One Hundred and Fourth street and Illinois Central railroad tracks, Puilman. After a spirited contest the coveted honor was captured by the Thistle team by a score of 2 goals to 1. Last season the two teams were tied for first place and the game yesterday was to decide possession of the Jackson challenge cup.

Though the visitors won the home team kept them on the defensive and had opportunities enough to win. Loudon of the home side wan disabled soon after starting. As usual, the rough ground affected the accuracy of the kicking. Even play marked the opening exchanges, but better combination work enabled Barker to score for the Thistles. R.

McLaehlan equalized before half time. The second half was more in favor of Pullman. Captain Butcher missed two easy chances to score. Wild scored from a corner kick, giving the Thistles a winning lead. Both Loudon and Captain Dewar were disabled in the second half.

Solly Smith, the little swinging hitter from Los Angeles, and Champion George Dixon will be pitted for twenty rounds. Solly is the only boxer well within the featherweight limit who is recognized as having any chance against the champion.

Dixon has had some hard encounters of late, but they have all been much heavier than his class calls for 124 to 123 pounders. For instance, the last four contests of the little 11S-120 pound wonder show how he has been obliged to stalk the big ones. February of this year he had a hard twenty-round draw with Jack Downey of Brooklyn; Downey scaled 1294 pounds. In March he bcxed Frank Erne twenty-tive rounds and won. Erne weighing 13a In April he whipped Johnny Griffin at 12S in twenty rounds.

The colored champion's last fight was with Dal Hawkins at San Francisco, in which he allowed the lightweight to scale in at 4 o'clock at 128 pounds. If any one of these had obtained the decision over Dixon it would not have affected his championship btanding on account of the odds of weight he allowed. Smith and Dixon will box at 120 pounds, well within the class limit, and the winner will ba the featherweight champion of the world. Solly Smith is looked upon by some of the judges as having an excellent show. The little slugeer's last five rir.g engagements show he has strufck comet pace.

In November of last year be knocked out Willie Smith at the National club of London in eight rounds at 118 pounds. He boxed Tommy White twenty-five strong rounds to a draw iu New York last January. Two months later Smith defeated Osoar Gardner, a tough customer, in twenty rounds. Martin Flaherty was his next victim, whom he whipped in twenty-five rounds, in May. Flaherty was slightly over the featherweight limit which had been agreed to.

His last was the knockout of Johnny Griffin in August at San Franeisrro. Griffin was allowed 120 pounds. Smith and Dixon met four years ago in what was a whirlwind encounter while it lasted. Smith kept swinging and Dixon jabbed him in the face till all the fight was frayed out of him, the colored man winning with a knockout In seven rounds. The little Californian since then, however, is said to have learned some straight hitting work, which he seems to have proved in his easy disposal of Johr.ry Griffin, who at the time Solly met Dixon in 1S03 easily outclassed Smith In boxing tactics.

Chicago Federation of Labor Takes Further Action on the Case from Kansas City. The Chicago Federation of Labor yesterday afternoon reconsidered its former action In refusing to boyeott Armour Co. of Chicago at the request of organized labor in Kansas City. It was decided to Indorse the general boycott on all Armour meats and packing-house products, as was declared ten days ago by the Executive board of the American Federation of Labor in Washington, D. The vote was unanimous.

A boycott was also ordered against the packing firm of Vlles Robblns. Twenty-second and Halsted streets. A resolution was Introduced asking Governor Tanner to provide for the consideration of a new primary election law in case a special session of the Legislature is called. J. H.

Payne announced a strike would be declared this morning in the box factory which supplies the firm of Nelson Morris Co. with packing cases. The federation is now in danger of losing its representation at the coming convention of the American Federation of Labor at Nashville, owing to the trouble with the national body over the unseating of the delegation from the Musicians' union. No action was taken yesterday by the Chicago body, which seems inclined to stand by Its action. The publication yesterday stating that the Plasterers' union was led by an alleged non-union band during the Labor day parade was an error.

The robbers fired two shots from their revolvers to frighten Fisher, and then beat him into Insensibility. The police have a good description of the men. One of the robbers is a man five feet eight inches in height, fair haired, and was dressed in black, wearing a soft hat. This one seemed to be the leader. He asked Fisher for a box of cigarets.

"I don't keep them," responded Fisher. Scarcely had the words been uttered before three revolvers were produced. As Fisher advanced toward the money drawer, the leader ran around the counter, and struck him several times. Fisher fell and lay still on the floor, while the leader went through his pockets. The other two men took $0 from the money drawer.

Kate Fisher, the storekeeper's sister, lives in the rear of the store. She entered the store to find the three thieves escaping.

Some radical improvements are necessary else the team will have to take a back seat soon. There are no men of varsity material except Jack. Coffeen. and Forbes, who did not get into the game on Saturday. Captain Sweeny seems disposed to try tackle Instead of guard.

Coffeen, regular full back this year, has not shown up any too well so far. His kicking has fallen off greatly, and Forbes will have hard work to displace either Johnston. Clinton, or Enochs from the half back positions. There are no other line candidates besides those against Eureka on the field, so the coaches cannot look for new material to strengthen the team up. The torrid weather on Saturday probably had something to do with the lack of ginger shown, but every one realised that it will take a snappier team than the one lined up then to hold its own S-J00 ct- 9- Branch, who played tackle and end for three seasons, is around the university and may return to school.

Branch is as good a ground gainer as Illinois ever had. and as a breaker of interference is hrst class. His return would materially strengthen the team, as he could be put in at one of the weak places in the line and relieve the coaches from any further worry about tackles and ends. Coach Huff says he looks for improvement all round during the coming week. Michigan TraluInK Table Squad.
