In spite of cantion Dartmouth was offside on the kick off and the bail went to Pennsylvania as a dawn in mldfield, but immediately changed bands again for the same offense.

was one of the most fervent, enthusiastic and successful ever held in that Jurisdiction, and showed conclusively that Methodism Is making no back steps in the South. On the contrary. It Is advancing and taking a higher and more advanced position all tbe time. The laymen (for the Southern Methodists are ahead of their Northern brethren In having lay representation, which they consider one of their great elements of strength) Included Judges, merchants and the most prominent men of different sections. Education under religious auspices received a great deal of attention.

The Southern Methodists are much stronger ia educational institutions that are under denominational auspices than in, the Northern branch of the church, and It was determined to place as many of the colleges as possible upon the highest possible plane of excellence. It happened that quite a number of Phlladelpblans were visiting or at country places In Tennessee and Virginia near Bristol, which is half in one State aud half In the other, when the conference was In session, and they wero surprised at the strength, culture and ability displayed by the Methodists of the South.

The interesting story comes from Chicago of three girl editors of a daily newspaper at Maryville, who write the editorials, get the news and even print it themselves. Tbelr names are the Misses Pearl, Lulu and Zoe Griffin. At various times they have been burned out, shot at and their type destroyed by enemies, but they always come up smiling and have never missed an Issue. Colonel William Houston Patterson, a son of the late General Patterson, will on Wednesday evening next deliver an address on "The Artillery Corps.

An Interesting story Is told concerning some of the Jewels belonging to the Empress of Germany. She owns a very fine necklace, made of large pearls, well matched In size and singularly pure In color. The necklace, however, had been laid aside for some time away from the light and air. and as a natural result the Color of the pearls had suffered considerably. In fact, when the Em-press took out the necklace it was so discolored that she found that she could not possibly wear it in Its then condition.

The court Jeweler, when appealed to, gave It as his opinion that nothing would restore the pristine purity of the pearls except a very long Immersion in the sea. A glass case was accordingly made with boles in It to admit the water, the pearls were deposited in it, and it was sunk "full fathoms five" In the waters of the North Sea. The spot chosen is close to the shore, and It Is said that sentries are on duty night aud day. No Game at State College. Special Telegram to The Times.

Nov. 10, 1,000 A REMARKABLY EVEN CONTEST Both Teams Played Fierce But Clean Foot-Ball From Beginning to End Cornell Scored In the First Half, While Lafayette Made Points in the Second Lafayette's Team in Poor Physical Condition Great Runs by Walbrldge, Duffy and Young. Special Telegram to THE Times.

Easton, October 16. A gloom of sadness pervades this town so Intense that It can almost be felt. The pride of Lafayette, her foot-ball team, falling to humble the Cornell eleven this afternoon is the cause of Easton's grief. With victory within the grasp of Lafayette, she did not avail herself of the opportunity to improve it, and therefore one of the greatest foot-ball contests in which her team ever figured remains a tie, when It properly should have been recorded as one of her greatest athletic victories. The game Itself was one of the most bitter foot-ball struggles that have ever been waged on College Hill.

From 3 o'clock until the long shadows of night were fast drawing the day to a dose the long-haired warriors of Lafayette and Cornell battled for supremacy on Lafayette field this afternoon. Both teams played with a desperation seldom seen on the gridiron field to-day, as each were tenacious of victory. The game resulted In a tie. but only after the fiercest struggle that probably ever occurred between athletic teams representing these two institutions. With Lafayette driven into the last ditch of despair after the ending of the first half with the score 4 to 0 against her and she unable to advance the ball for any material gains, she came on the field for the second half with a determination to do or die.

During the first half Lafayette was clearly outplayed by Cornell, but during the second part of the game there was a reversal of form, the Eastonlans playing the better game. The game started with the ball In Lafayette's possession. Cornell, having won the toss, elected to defend the south goal, having the advantage of a slight wind nt their back. Cornell rushed the ball back twenty yards on the kick-oft before stopped. Cornell lost the ball on a fumble.

After two small gains, Cornell regained the ball. She then started on her career down the field for a touch-down. First the attack would be directed against one of the Lafayette tackles and then a mass play would plunge into one of the guards. With constant gains of three and five yards by AVbiting. Wilson and Perkins by means of mass plays and occasional runs around left-end by McKeever.

the ball was placed on Lafayette's 25-yard line. Whiting then went through left tackle and end for a run to within four yards of Lafayette's goal. Hero the Maroon and White made a great stand, fighting with a fierceness of desperation. With only four yards separating the Cornell team and the goal line, a touch-down seemed certain. On the fourth down there was a struggling mass of arms and legs and many thought Cornell had not gained an Inch, but after Umpire Dashlel had untangled the human hill the ball was found to be on the goal line, and when a touch-down was announced the Cornell following went simply mad with delight.

The goal was at a difficult angle and was missed. After this the ball changed hands several times before the half ended. Whiting made several good runs, as did Young for Cornell, while-Walbrldge made a brilliant run of 20 yards just before time was called. Worthtngton and Lee indulged in a little seance of their own, for which Umpire Dashlcl promptly sent them to the side lines. Both were playing great games, and both teams were materially weakened by their absence.

The half ended with the ball in Cornell's possession on her 40-yard line. After outplaying and scoring on Lafayette In the first half Cornell thought the game was won, and that Lafayette would not cross her goal during the second part of the game. Although crippled, battered and weakened by substitutions, Lafayette came on the field in the second half determined to retrieve the poor playing In the first. Walbrldge was limping painfully, Brny could hardly walk and It was with difficulty that Walbrldge could keep his feet, still the viclousness nf the Lafayette onslaughts in the second half were irresistible, Cornell being powerless to stop them. Especially was this true during the first portion of the second half.

Cornell kicked off to Lafayette's ten yard line. Rhinehart making fifteen yards before downed. A fumble then gave the ball to Cornell, but she was forced to punt. Then began Lafayette's onward course for a touch-down. Braj-, Duffy and the much-worked Walbrldge made repeated gains of five and ten yards until the ball was on Cornell's fifteen yard line, where it was lost on an atrocious fumble.

Before the crowd had ceased to vent its displeasure over this piece of misfortune, however, it rose to Its feet in a tremendous yell of applause, for Lafayette had scored. Cornell had fumbled the ball on the first down after recovering It on the same kind of a play, and before two eager Cornell men could drop on it little Herr had picked it up and crossed the goal line between the posts for a touchdown. The cheering was deafening and It continued until Duffy failed to kick an easy goal, when a marked silence settled over the crowd as It realized that with his Ineffectual attempt Lafayette's chance of victory was small, as It was very Improbable that either side would score again. On the kick-off followed the longest and most brilliant runs of tne afternoon. Cornell kicked to Lafayette's 10-yard line, Rlne-hard making the catch.

After running a' few yards he suddenly passed the ball to Walbridge, who was off at lightning speed around the opposite end with almost a clear field before him. Another touch-down looked Imminent In short order, but after runulng 55 yards he was downed. The next play was a double pass, and Duffy made a run to within 10 yards of Cornell's goal line. Here a kick ensued, which finally resulted In the ball being brought back to the 30-yard Hue, as the Cornell man, Duffy, was forced out of bounds at that mark, and, although Referee Andrus did not see It, he gave the decision against Lafayette. Lafayette was soon forced to kick, and after that she did not menace the Cornell goal during the game.

Cornell, on the other hand, seemed to gather renewed strength as she slowly, but surely, pushed Lafayette down the field toward the goal Hue. Her close formation directed at the tackles, Lafayette seemed utterly powerless to stop, and for about five minutes it looked as though Cornell would make another touch-down. Young tried for a goal from field, which went between the posts, but about a foot beneath the cross bar, and after that a kicking game was played by both sides, with neither side having any opportunity to score. About fifteen minutes before the game ended Walbrldge and Bray were obliged to be assisted from the field, as their Injuries had rendered tbera completely exhausted. The teams lined as follows: Lafayette.

Disqualified Lee aud Worth- PLENTY OF. ROUGH PLAYING Two of the Indians Were Buled Off for Slugging, While Some of the Others Indulged In Shady Work Princeton's Work Was Ragged, While Their Opponents Played a Steady Game A Number of Players Were Injured. Special Telegram to The Times. Princeton, October 16. Five thousand people saw Princeton defeat the Carlisle Indians in one of the hardest foot-ball games ever played on Princeton's athletic field this afternoon.

The score should have been' 24-0 Instead of 18-0. Princeton's kickers falling to kick three easy goals. The Indians played a much steadier game than they did last year, though they were hardly so sportsmanlike. Two of their number were ruled off for slugging, while many of the others did some rather shady work. The redskins seemed overly anxious to score, and In order to do so went to the extremes of bard playing.

Princeton's game was rather ragged at first, but improved as the game proceeded. There was an excessive amount of fumbling In the early part of the game, and on three different occasions Princeton fumbled the ball and an Indian got it with a clear field before him, but Princeton was quick to down him. The Indians rushed the line In fairly good shape and made their necessary five yards in four downs a number of times. At one period in the second half a score by the Indians seemed In sight, but Metoxen, the Indian full-back, attempted to punt and Holt blocked It. whereupon Relter got the ball and, aided by excellent interference, ran fifty-five yards for a touch-down.

A number of Princeton players were severely Injured Jn the game. Cochran got a very bad fall, which may lay him ont for some time. Kelly only played a few minutes In the second half, as be was not in condition to do any very hard work. Balrd played a very hard game and was injured several times, but very grittily continued to play. His work at quarter was fine, and when Captain Cochran retired Balrd was put In charge of the team, which he handled in great shape.

The day was very hot for football, so the halves were much shorter than they would otherwise have been, the halves being in length twenty and fifteen minutes respectively. The Indians won the toss and chose the ball, while Princeton elected to defend the east goal. Metoxen kicked to Balrd. who returned the kick off to the Indians' 45-yard line, and the redskins got ten yards on the next play for "off side play on Princeton's part. On a fumble Princeton secured the ball, and It was kept in the middle of the field for several downs on account of the alternate fumbling of Princeton and the Indians.

The ball was finally rushed over the line by Bannard and the touch-down scored after five minutes of play. Balrd failed to kick goal. Soon after the next kick-off the Indians made a nice quarter-back kick from the flfty-nve yard line, which Wheeler, catching on the ten-yard line, brought to the middle of the field. Wheeler made the second touch-down Immediately after Relter had made an end run of forty yards. Balrd kicked a hard goal.

No further scoring was done In the first half. In the second half Relter made a touchdown after seven minutes of play by Holt's blocking a punt. Again Balrd failed to kick a goal. Kelly made the last touch-down. Balrd having made a beautiful run of thirty yards on a double pass just before Holt failed to kick the goal, thus leaving the score 18-0.

Umpire rylc. THE STRONGEST TEAM YET MET Penn Bad No Difficulty in Gaining Ground, Although Weakened by the Atwence of Minds, Carnett and Dickson Held Dartmouth in Check Splendidly The Game Augur Well for Fenn's Success. Pennsylvania. 34; Dartmouth, 0. After the showing of the Dartmouth team against Harvard in the game at Cambridge last Saturday, when the Hanover boy held the Crimson down to a total score of thirteen points and came very near forcing the ball over their line for a touch-down, the result of yesterday's game on Franklin Field was a great surprise.

Particularly Is this true considering the fact that Pennsylvania was seriously handicapped by the absence from the team of three of her best men. Captain Minds, Dickson and Carnett were all three unable to start In the game on account of Injuries received in the past two weeks to their knees wiilch lamed them so seriously as to make playing altogether impossible. That Pennsylvania went in and without these men played a game which would have done credit to a team in the middle of November is highly gratifying to the Pennsylvania enthusiasts and gives reason for beiieving that the Quaker team this year Is remarkably strong. It would be foolish for any one to contend that Dartmouth did not play a strong game. She did play well, particularly on the defense, and had a lot of men well calculated to hold any team in check.

That Pennsylvania's team, lighter by at least ten pounds to a man. was able to force her way through the line steadily without fail on every trial Is testimony that is indisputable that offensive strength is all that could be wished. There is only a little roughness to be smoothed over and the team wlli reach the height which it was not expected by the most sanguine that it could reach, namely, the standard of '94. There was a precision and a certainty about Pennsylvania's playing that was bound to carry opposition before it. The play was fast both in its succession and in Its starting.

When started the men worked together very well and helped and pushed each other till every available Inch had been gained. Occasionally some one would fall to do his work and the play would fall to gain, showing that the dependence was not placed in any play upon the individual, but upon the team. It Is this style of play that is sure to win. On defense the Pennsylvania boys did all that could be asked of them. Not more than ten plays by Dartmouth during the entire game gained ground.

These on three ocashns netted ten yards apiece. With hacks of the calibre of Crollus, Eekstorm and McAndrews this was to be expected. The ball was never In Pennsylvania's territory, nor In any danger of being carried over the line, for not once did a runner get away without a Pennsylvania man right on him. Pennsylvania's advances were steady and persistent. The best feature of the play was the absolute absence of fumbling.

Only once did a fumble occur in passing the ball and then it was recovered by the Pennsylvania men. Weeks at quarter-back did very good work and Hedges played equally well in the second half when given a trial, barring only his signal giving. In this he was a little off due to lack of practice. It was to be expected that It should be so. Pennsylvania played her line as it has heen playing In recent games.

Goodman was in Carnett's place and Hedges In Dickson's place at end. When Hedges replaced Weeks at quarter the latter went to end. In the back field Walker played in Minds' place. And very well he played there. His line bucking was a feature of the game, while his catching and kicking were of the first class.

He kicked better than he has over kicked on the field before and seemed to be brought out by the excitement of the game. Jackson also ran well from half-back after the first few gains and did not fail to advance the ball. His seventy yards rnn in the second half was one of the prettiest plays seen on Franklin Field this year. Cnvanaugh, who caught him and finally downed him, deserves great credit for his play, he following the runner faithfully and finally downing him on the one yard line. Morice at the other half did very well, also making two or three runs that showed some return to his form of last year.

Oufland at tackle scored repeated gains by good plays. His first touch-down when he ran twenty yards and carried the ball over the line, carrying Crollus on his hack ten yards over the line, was a very clever one. Goodman and Hare also advanced the ball well, and so did McCracken. In short, all the men carried the ball well. Boyle, Over-field and Hedges also played strong games on the defense.

For Dartmouth the backs all did good work with the ball, particularly Crollus and Mc-Andrew. The tackling of Cavanaugh and Boyle was first class and the general play of Wentworth admirable. In short, the Dart-month team played easily the strongest game of any visiting team of Franklin Field this year. On the toss up Dartmouth called the turn and elected to defend the east goal with the wind slightly against them, receiving the ball. Pennsylvania returned the kick off to the thirty yard line and Dartmouth started to run the ball down the field.

Crollus and McAndrews gained live yards apiece on the first two plays, but Pennsylvania then made a stand and Dartmouth was forced to kick, driving the ball to Pennsylvania's fifty yard line. Pennsylvania then carried it hack ten yards on short line plunges and then kicked Into touch. Dartmouth's kick out sent the ball to the fifty yard line again and Walker made ten yards before downed. Pennsylvania started to rush the ball forward and steady gains carried it to the twenty yard line. Here McCracken and Walker were sent Into the centre and Jackson, Morice and Outland through the tackles for chort, steady gains.

Then Outland getting away arond the end carried the ball over the line for the first touch-down, placing the ball between the posts In spite of the fact that he was forced to carry Crollus with him on his back. After Walker had kicked the goal an exchange of kicks gave Pennsylvania the ball In mldfield and another series of steady advances were tried. Slowly and surely with gains of four and five yards eac i the ball was forced down the field and It neared the goal rapidly. Finally it reached the five yard and a straight centre plunge by Walker sr nt it over a second time and a second goal resulted. Weeks' good work in falling on the ball when McAndrews fumbled it on Pennsylvania's return of the kick off gave Pennsylvania the hall again on Dartmouth's thirty yard line and another terles of runs were tried successfully and the ball carried over the line.

A good run of fifteen yards by Morice and short line plunges were the means. Walker again taking the ball over. This ended the scoring for the half, an ex-change of kicks and short runs occupying the time. In the second half Pennsylvania kicked off over Dartmouth's line and the latter were compelled to kick out from the twenty-five yard line. HoldiDg In the line gave Dartmouth the ball, however.

In midfleld. She kicked to the thirty yard line and Walker advanced the ball ten yards before being downed. Then the prettiest play of the game, Jackson's seventy yard run. was made on a delayed pass. Jackson carried the ball to the one yard line and Walker carried It over and again kicked the goal.

After Pennsylvania's return of the kick off to the forty yard line Dartmouth attempted to advance the ball. Three Ineffectual tries gave It to Pennsylvania on downs and another series of plays for a touch-down followed. Walker, McCracken and Hare contributed a dozen gains of three or four yards each and Outland and Goodman got In a couple of five yard advances around the end when the ball bad reached the line and was the guardian of your wardrobe, if the clothes we make are not the pink of perfection.

Lancaster, October 16. The foot-ball team of Franklin and Marshall College showed up In great form to-day when it defeated the Villa Nova College eleven by the score of 28 to 0. The weather was against the game, as the game, as the heat was intense. The first half was well played, but the second was slow and at times tedious. While the visitors were as heavy as the home players they were not able to make many first downs.

The features of the game were long runs by Hosterman, one from the centre of the field and the other for thirty-five yrads. The Interference of Franklin and Marshall was fine and Schneider and Greenawalt at the ends did such good work that the visitors were able to make five yards but a few times. In defensive and offensive work McLaughlin excelled. Wisner and Locher tackled hard. Breslen did good kicking and made several gains for the visitors.

The best all around work was done by Captain Begley. The lineup was as follows: F. and M. Villa Nova.

A Foot-Ball Player Killed. Special Telegram to The Times. Bellwood, October 16. Tyrone and Bell-wood foot-ball teams played a game here today in connection with a firemen's anniversary, the game resulting in a victory for Bellwood bv a score of 20 to 0. During the game Benjamin Rich.

Tyrone's right tackle, was twice thrown to the ground and died from the Injuries received in about an hour. Amaieur Notes The Mercury, of Allentown, had an easy time with the Germantowm There are quite a number of All Professional teams barn-storming in the vicinity of Philadelphia this fall. The Clifton Heights had a close call with the Globe, only winning out in the last inning by scoring four runs, and they needed everyone of them. John O'Rourke Is already loaded with schemes for next season. John has always a scheme hanging to every hair of his bead, and he generally lands some one of tbem.

As usual many of the players in the minor leagues arc short on their salaries. But they have become, accustomed to this kind of treatment, as It has occurred regularly for the past few years. Walter Coombs and King Dickson proved a very serviceable battery. After the fifth Inning they exchanged places. King going In to catch.

Coombs' strong point was his ability to bemuddle tbe umpire. That twenty-three inning game at Minneapolis recalls tbe twenty-one inning game between tbe Girard College boys and Sam DeBwald's team. The latter was tbe first game of importance that Jack O'Brien ever caught. Lou Bruce Is well pleased at the substantial recognition of his valuable work, given him by tbe West Chester fans. He is not worrying about the winter being a hard one, as he has the collateral to make himself comfortable.

With Fertsch it is different. The horseshoe had a very close call, but was saved by the winning of a large-sized poL If It had not been for that, there would have been another mascot out of a iob, and Hannings would have had another lunt. Next time, Dan, omit tbe trimmings. Mark McGrillls Is suffering with a sore right, which was hurt in the Philadelphia gnme. But it is bard to keep Mark out of the game and on Thursday he played like a young blood.

Once In a game, he forgets Injuries and puts up a game that is hard to beat. Some of the youngsters who attempt to roughen It with the Beverly Vets are liable to be taken home In ambulances, for, while the Vets do not believe in playing ball that way, the "old men" are fully capable of taking care of themselves, and are liable to give more than they get. So Manager Carman banqueted both teams, did he' Was he looking forward to this expense when he wanted to pay bis men for oue game, Instead of two? Foresight is better than hindsight. But this was pretty hard on those players who quit. Instead of waiting for Manager Carman's "banquet." George Nelllns has not retired, as so many of bis friends think.

He will be one of the first at It next season, and it Is a pretty safe prediction to say that he will still make some of the young ones hustle to beat him out. His long suit Is batting, and be has at ways been one of the best hitters In amateur ranks. Jimmy Moore played his usual steady game tills summer, and was also very strong in fielding. When Jimmy was catching he was one of the best and tbe nerviest catchers in this vicinity. It takes plenty of nerve today to hold Jack McFetridge'e cannon-ball delivery when it is too dark to see.

but this Jimmy did in the palmy days of the A. C. 8. N. "Ice carts" are all right In tbelr place, but base ball Is not their place.

Even at that, some so-called "Ice carts," who have played but one or two games of ball this season ran discount some of the self-styled "Stars." If they could not, they would not be well coutented to confine themselves to some other sport. It Is much easier to criticise than it Js to execute, as you have often demonstrated, boys. The two fingers of the right band, which were broken in the Brandywlne-Mohlcan games, have healed nicely, and Lou Graff will hereafter catch for Captain Spooner's team. Lou does not believe In "grand stand" plays and finished the Brandywlne-Mohlcan game even in bis disabled condition, without making any excuses, although it was impossible for him to do himself justice. Captain Spooner has a stout heart; otherwise he would have lost part of his moustache during the early part of the Young, Smyth.

Field Co. game. But he put on an extra spurt and by bis example, as well as by the talk he gave bla men, got his team together so that they won out easily. By the way, If all players had one-teuth of the captain's earnestness, amateur base ball would be very much faster. WEST POINT AND HARVARD Crimson Was Clearly Outplayed at Times by the Cadets.

West Point, October 16. Harvard met the Cadets on the gridiron at West Point this afternoon with the thermometer at 73 and no breeze. The game resulted in a score of 10 to 0 In favor of the Crimson.

West Point fumbled but twice. Houghton was out-punted by Romeyn by at least ten yards on every return. The first touch-down was made by Swain after thirteen minutes of play, and the goal was kicked by Houghton. The first half ended with the score to 0 in favor of Harvard. During the second half Doucette and Houghton were injured, and Burden and Warren took their places.

October 16. Yale defeated Newton A. A. here this afternoon 10 to 0 before a crowd of 3.000 spectators. It was a hot day for foot-ball, and the frequent delays from minor Injuries spread out the time of the two short halves over a long period and detracted materially from the interest of the contest.

The Yale team wag a big disappointment. Its play was loose, the backs showing little Interference, and the way the Newton backs repeatedly ripped holes in the visitors' line 6howed an unexpected weakness In its defense it several critical points. The Newton team had little team play, but they played hard foot-ball and worried their opponents by keeping the ball at least half of the time. Corbet! the old Harvard back, and Fred Draper, the famous Williams player, played great loot-ball. Corbett did some splendid kicking, aud in bis rushing showed the same dash and spirit which made him noted with the champion Harard eleven of '00.

Bass, the old Yale end, did some brilliant tackling. Yale scored in the first two minutes of plav. Kelfer making a long run after the kick-off. which brought the ball close to the goal Hue. and a couple of short rushes easily took It over.

It was not till well Into the second half that Yale scored again, when tliev made a touch-down by repeated attacks at Newton centie. At do other time did Yale come within distance of scoring, while New-ton several times pushed the ball into dangerous territory. Elkton High School Beaten. Special Telegram to The Times. Elkton, 0t.
