1J w. THE ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC: MONDAY NOVEMBER 14. FOOTBALL -WasHington and 'St. Lorris' University Put Up Good Games Last Saturday.

THE DIELS ARE BADLY BEATEN. Shea's A nuamfinn Tt- "lo Tommy Cnhill's Eleven ly 1 the One-Sided Score of 7 to 1.

vut and clean football prevailed at fCuIage's Park yesterday afternoon, -when the Woman's Magaslnes took the Thistles Into camp In the first pme by a score of 1 to i). The second contest resulted in a walkover for the Ben Milters, beating the Dlels by a -score ot to 1. Two notable recruits were added to the list of players In the Moselle organization. "Paddy" Lynch and Ed McDonough. one of the best bracks of full hacks In St.

Louis, lined up ivlth the Ben Millers. Their appearance In the game was marked by a general bracing up of the entire Miller team, and that bunch should from now on give the ret of the teams a hard chase. The Thistles pretested the goal made by the Woman's Magazine team, and from a spectator's point of view their protest was well taken. Shortly after the second half began Amnam shot the ball at the Thistles' goal. McCall clearly appeared to hare reached and cleared the pigskin be.

fore it passed behind the bars. Goal Linesman Shea decided that McCall was behind his own goal bars when he cleared the ball, but the spectators disagreed with him. and hissed the decision. This mistake of Shea's gave the game to the local team. Had the goal not counted" the game would have resulted in a drawn contest.

The Thistles and Woman's Magazines lined up first, and the very Instant that McSweeney blew his whistle the teams began an earnest contest, which they continued until the game closed. Miller's team from French Village displayed an excellent knowledge of football, and will surely be well up In the race all sea ton. Their back division Is one of the best seen In St. Louts in many seasons. They can check forwards and cover up in great fashion.

Their only fault seems to be a slight lack of speed, although they are by no means slow. McCall In goal is one or the best men in that position, ever seen in St. Louis. He is fast on his feet, clears well, and Is one of the hardest kickers In the socker game-Hall and Kelley at full back are splendid kickers, and play a clean full back. Brown.

Gardl-ner took Xawr'cnce Riley's place in the goal for the Magazine team, and played jjood game.

The Thistles started a passing game in the first half that kept the Magazine team's backs easy. Moselle's forwards played an excellcntjdtame in this half and only the clever defense of the Thistles prevented them from scoring. In the second half Arnmans shot at goal and Linesman Shea allowed the tally. This was the only scoring done In the game. The line-up: Thirties.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL. Hot Eprings. Nov. li Secretary Robert R. McRoberts says last week brought a general inquiry concerning the stakes of the Hot Springs Jockey Club, letters arriving from horsemen frcm all parts of the country, as the time for the entries to close draws near.

The date is set for next Tuesday, and letters containing: entries jstakesjnow open are'requlred bear apostmark of no later date. Every one here seems confident there will be no less than sixty days ot racing this winter, which will" be an increase over the short meetfne- nf fhrpp nnH half weeks with which the Hot Springs v.iuo openea tsstx rant last winter. It Is not known here vet whether the 'new. organization arid track being pro- moica oy uan Biuart win oe reaciy to race this winter, but If so there will be no argument about it having the second thirtv days. In event or it not being prepared to race this winter Secretary McRoberts says the Hot Springs Jockey Club expects to be in a position to offer horsemen sixty days at Kssex Park, as it is believed the Western Jockey Club will sanction such a course.

iTesident Humnhrev Devereatii rjiva his club will ask the Western Jockey Club first oi a.1 lor tnirty racing days, commencing Saturday. January 7, with the privilege of racing another thirty days if the new club should not be ready. The ten. stakes now open for entry are to be run during the first thirty days. That much is certain, and the offlciais believe there Is no reason to doubt the Western Jockey Club at its meeting next month will grant the dates asked for.

Three of the ten stakes have a guaranteed value or each. The sc-en others have H.0 added, and. with entry fees and starting fees. It is figured they will average at least tlSX each In value. The value of the ten stakes Is estimated at J30.0W.

The three guaranteed events' are tha Vapor City Derby, one mile, for 3-year-olds; the Hot Springs Inaugural, one mile, and the Kentucky Club Handicap, a and a sixteenth, both for 3-year-olds and upward. There are three selling sweepstakes at middle distances, and two sprint handicaps, all for 3-year-olds and upward, horses now 2 years old being eligible for entry. The two remaining stakes are for youngsters that will be 2 years old by turf law January 1. One of thoie, the Country-Club Stakes, will be run out on the new Ozark chute, which will lve three furlongs straightaway. The fees are the same for all ten stakes, being- 310 to enter and 159 additional to start.

Louis and Washington Universities Put Up Strong Game Against Opponents. COLLEGE ELEVEN OUTCLASSED Christian Brothers' College Could Do Nothing Against Kolla Myrtle and Maroon Defense Strong. Washington University put up a good game against the Kansas team at the Stadium Saturday in spite of the fact that they were defeated. The strong defense made by the local eleven against the more weighty opponents from the West was one of the foremost features of the contest. Both of the Jayhawkers' touchdowns were made In the first half, while the myrtle and maroon team held them for a nothlrg-nothlng score In the second half.

It Is very probable that had the Washington team kicked more In the first half thoy would have prevented the Kansas olayers from scoring at all. Much booting was resorted to In the second half, and this kept the -Westerners from scoring. Smith and Baker switched their positions at half back and end in the game, Seth playing in the line en the defensive and went to the back Eeld place while his team had the ball. His gains, together with those of Krause and Crisp In the back field positions, were features. When It is taken into consideration the fact that Kansas outweighed the local eleven about ten pounds to the men, and the fact that they had more experience in playing against stronger and better teams than has been the case with Washington, it makes the contest a better one from the local side.

Stuttic at quarter back played his usual good game in running the team, and did much good work in the defensive line. Alter being roughly used by the visitors on several occasions he was compelled to retire in favor of Loxan. This player ran the team well, and his tackling was good. Thlb plaver is young and rather light, but his tackling tn tha games that he has played has been as good as the more experienced players on the team. In the game with Texas Logan was sent In to sccceed Stuttle.

and on more than one occasion a Texan passed the line with the ball and with Logan the only man betwe-i the runrer am' tm- rjoal line. I.oga tackled low and spoiled whit looked to be chances of scoring on long runs. CLAIM OF CHAMPIONSHIP. St. defeat of Missouri University set them In a position for the claim of the championship.

Whether Coach of the hlue-and-whlte team will take this stand is not known, although he has good grojnds to demand a game with Missouri's playing wjth the local university at Columbia Saturday was good, but the playing of St. Louis was better, and the better team won. Coach McLran stated after the game that he had no complaint to make; that SL Louis outplayed, outclasrrd and outgeneraled his team at all rtnges. Dela-ney on the way home from Columbia said that he was certain that his team could have run up a higher score had they been so Instructed, but ho had cautioned them about allowing the Tigers to pass the line for a score. The coach's statement Is borne out from the fact that the players were too anxlouq to ken the Tii.r frnm getting past them, and were penalized every few minutes of the 5rst half for offside piayinr.

The St. Louis players were compelled to go over ninety-five yards of penalized ground before scoring their touchdowns. Had this not been the case and had they kept on side, ther would have undoubted ly run up a larger figure on their side of th score sheet, but with a possibility of ne Aigera nuving omer man a zero on thelrF. "Silk" Campbell, the blond guard, was one of the individual stars of the game. Campbell, at the snap of the ball, had his opponent on the ground, and In many cases wa3 behind the line blocking the back carrying the ball.

"Silk" Is spoken of very highly by the coach and other disinterested parties. He weighs close to the hundred mark, stripped, and his weight, together with the distinction of being the fastest man on the team, makes him an Important factor in all the university games. "Silk, if he was willing, could be developed Into one of the finest full backs in the country," said Delancy. In speaking of his guard. Tho change In the back field line-up caused by Pechmann's absence had little to do with the result of tho game.

Irwin, who took Peck's place at the half back, was a consistent ground-gainer and seldom made his distance when given the ball. SCORES TWO TOUCHDOWNS. scored two of the three touchdowns, one after being shoved over the line and the other as a result of a long run. Axline. sub center, who was- placed at guard, was opposed to Forster.

the hi" St. Louis boy on the Missouri team. Forster in his football tog? weighs more than 249 fiounds. Axllne i3 by no means light, but built on different lines. He Is tall, le-ing little moro than feet In height, and Is very slender.

It wan reported at Columbia hefore the game that the entire team would be sent after tha ble Missouri 'guard, but this was not true. When the ball was snapp-i "Little" Forster would throw his whole weight against the frail Axline, out 'he latter. Instead of meeting the big fellow's weight, would simply fall back hlmelf and Forster would roll on the ground, Axline arising and following the player with the ball. Kinney was the star bnckfield player. He was a ground gainer above the average, and once he found a hole In the Missouri line he got tha ball seven times In succession and gained on each attempt.

Kinney Is one of the trio of the Marquette College players that Delaney has been fortunate enough In landing thl-s reason. Howe and Robinson being the other two. Robby has been out of the game for quite awhile as the result of a broken shoulder blade, but Howe has been playing quarter back. He guided the team Saturday, and only on one occasion tlld he make a misplav. His kicking was also good, and he succeeded In sending the skin through the bars twice, sending out the ball from the touchback, but Irwin failed to make a fair catch.

Reber. the other big guard of the team, also did nice work, and is fast becoming a star, although this is his first year at the game. Dingman. tha Michigan tackle, performed well in the game. C.

B. C's FIRST DEFEAT. B. C. welt down to 'defeat for the first time this season Saturday, when the Rolla Miners defeated them by the score of E2 to 0.

This is the first time thU year that college boys recelve-l the small end of tha score, but the other end was so large that It shows that they were outclassed and outplayed at all stages. The Miners greatly outweighed the local team and were fast together with the beef. It has been the custom of the Cote Brllllante team to win from heavy teams, but the Rolla boys had speed with their weight, and the C. C. had no oh 3 (f- The backs of the college team got the proper Int3rference on many occasions and made their distance, but held the ball only a short while, being held for downs.

rit SVX.K WHITES TO COMPETE I IN 142-POUND CLASS. Xrsroes Have Lone Held Sway In This Division, but Joe Wnlcott'a Day Sterna Over. While the pugilistic prospect for the next two weeks Includes only a bout between John Wllle and Jack O'Brien, If the West End Club can arrange such a match, and also a battle between Abe Attell and Kid Goodman, there is a prospect for some fights between the leading light heavy weights and welter weights of the country in the following fortnight. Barney Furey and Honey Mellody are practically matched for a go Thanksgiving evening. Mellody was matched to fight Furey last week, but balked on the proposition at tho last moment.

He claimed that he had not received sufficient notice to train properly and evidently dreaded meeting the Cincinnati man when out of form. This fight should be a good card. Inasmuch as Mellody is admittedly one of the toughest men in his division. With the defeats administered to Joe Gans by Langfcrd and Blackburn, and with the Instances In which Joe Walcott has gone down to tho same fate before a couple of, men In his own division. It seems as If Mellody had the prior claim on honors in the welter-weight When this matter Is urged, however, the question may be asked as to just who is- tne leading ngntenn tne ngntweignt ana welter weight divisions.

So long as Walcott was in his best trim there was little question as to who was supreme In the realm of 142 and 144 pound- era. The Barbadoes black was always ready to settle that question for anyone of an inquiring turn of mind. He was willing to make matches and to proe conclusively. In his own particular way, that he was the welter-weight champion. Then Jos Gans loomed up on the scene.

Joe is nominally a light weight. In his IaDt few however, he has been stretching this limit jut as Incumbents of championship honors In the feather-weight class have done. It would require a spyglass to find the limit of the featherweight division to-day. With Abe Attell. who often fought at the West End Club, claiming this title, and with Young Cor-, bett and Britt each loud In his claims that their 130 pounds or more of bony and sinew were entitled to the honor, it Is hard to discover Just who Is right and who is wrong.

So far ts the welter-weight division Is concerned, it seems as If Mellody had a first-class claim to be ranked as one of the leading contenders. He has not gone down to defeat as has Walcott. nor has he ever figured in bouts of a questionable nature. It seems as if he must be regarded as a man to be beaten before his conqueror could claim honors In his own cUss. If Furey and Mellody should put up a high-class fight, a return match would he arranged between the victor and the leading man in the same division.

ThU should settle honors decisively. Walcott may be regarded as nractically out of the running at present. Inasmuch as ho has been more engaged with Judges and Juries over a small police "-hooting scrape in which he figured than with referees and club managers of late. Furey has made a good Impression here, although he has not yet been seen In the ring. It Is Impossible to speak of a man's ability until he Is actually followed In active battling.

It would look, however, as though he could be ranked as a leading candidate on the strength ot work he has already to his credit. Furey and Mellody seem capable of putting the welter-weight end of the game back in the hands of white men. It must be confessed that there has always been a prejudice against negro fighters In the ring. The two men who rase superior to race distinctions, through their straightforward methods and unusual ability, were George Dixon and the late Peter Jackson. Both men had the respect of all followers of the pugilistic game.

Criticism follows a negro In the ring much more 3harply than it does a white man. Joe Gans has always suffered from his battle with c-Govern In Chicago, on which reflections have been cast- Yet Kid McCoy was always able to escape effects from innuendoes cast on battles In which he figured. McGovern has managed to do likewise. Yet if Gans faked It looks as If Terry was also to blame. Since this sentiment prevails.

It is obvious that white men will attract more notice than negroes. On this account It seems as If Mellody and Furey, both clean-cut youngsters should prove a good attraction In the mill which should define honors In their own division. MAY HOLD ATHLETIC MEET IN WEST END CLUB. Promoters of Track and Field Events May Rnn Off Indoor Contests In Fight Headquarters. It has been proposed by many followers of athletics that the West End Club, at Channlng and Easton avenues, be used for the indoor meets planned for this winter.

Three indoor athletic meets have' been spoken of for the coming season, but the drawback was the fact that tho Coliseum, where St. Louis U. has been holding It3 meets, was to be torn down In the near future. This would leave hardly a place where tho contests could be held. The Jal Ala! eourt was spoken of as a possible arena where the contests could be run off, but the expense of moving the parquet scats would be too great for one night's performance.

The West End Club was formerly the Ice Palace and skating races were held there, and the place being big enough for tho turns on the Ice. is large enough for a running cours. Eleven laps of the Coliseum track constitute a mile, which would make about twenty for the West End Club Infield. The floor of the Easton avenue club is of tan bark, which could be easily converted Into a track, ard the field events could be run off better than on the wooden floor. It would be possible to hold the weight events with the exception of the hammer throw without noise.

Martin Delaney of the St. Louis University says that the indoor meet under the auspices of that university would probably be held If a suitable place be found. The Knights of Columbus will probably hold an open athletic meet some time this winter if a suitable place can be found. Martin Delaney has been suggested as running off these contests for the knights. An open indoor meet, possibly for members of the Western division of the A.

A. U. has been talked of being held under tho auspices of the Missouri Athletic Club, and this will probably be carried out If an arena can be found. BOWLING. BRILL BOWLS GOOD SCORE.

Brill's wsrk was considered excellent ty the howlers preeent, and he was highly complimented even by competitors. EL A. Wood of Chicago got an average of ITT 13-15 In the same game, while W.
