THE PRELIMINARY PRACTICR. The preliminary practice wasa source of a great deal of amusement to the spectators who had not previously witnessed a foot ball match, especially that part of the practice in which the players from New Jersey rolled the ball from OM, DEAR, THEY'RE 80 RUDE. ‘one to another and as it reached each one he dove headlong for it and grabbed it as though it were some long-lost friend. The long, accu- rate punts and drop kick of that valuable man behind the line, Homans, called forth a great deal of applause.

Nothing remained but for the captains to toss for choice, and this detail was quickly attended to. Referee Church tossed the coin and as it descended Capt. King called the turn and won. Owing to the setting sun, which shone directly across the field, he preferred to put it at his players’ back, and therefore chose to defend the ‘west goal, thus giving the possession of the ball to the C.A. Though “Bob” Church, the referee, rey resented the Columbias, and Mr. Irvine, the | umpire, the Princetons, both are old Princeton embers of the champion team.

He In fact, strange as it may seem, to those unac- 0 the match was un- forth cor re of the sport. HOW THEY LINED UP. Tho preliminaries disposed of, off camo the sweaters, and the teams lined up for action as follows: Earteis Half back i Homans. <2).222 Pull back [Shields The game opened in a promising manner for the Colu Starting with the V Shields had gained ten yards before downed. Attempts vance further failed, and Shields made a tty punt to Homans, who fumbled. Active ittle Burroughs was on band to drop on the ball and seoure it for bis side. It was impossi- ble to gain, four downs giving the ball to Prince- ton. It was passed to Homans for a kick. ‘The leather sailed out to the center, where Shields returned the compliment by dropping it. Princeton obtained the ball, and before the Columbins awakened King was off like a shot. By good interference he gained tweaty yards AN IMPREOMABLE LIE. f lea fistit $ f Degan again with a clever run by Holly of fif- teen yards around the end, where Webi by « ball was then about from the goal was applau goal from a punt out. Score, 12 to 0. WORKING THE WEDGE. Again the wedge was worked for a ten-yard gain, but Columbia could go no further. Four downs gave the leather tothe “Tigers” and they were immediately off for the goal line. Short, quick rushes by Holly, Bartels and King took the play tothe fifteeu-yard line. Welsh’s of-side play netted five more yards and then big Hall, ducking his head, went through the center and over the line for the third touch down, Homans kicked « difficult goal. Score, 19 to 0. From the center Church gained ten yards before the whistle blew. When further progress was stopped Shields lifted « long punt which bounded over Homans’ head. Poe was on the He nabbed the spheriod, tucked it away under his arm and was off. He ran fast an low. Weaver. Lewis and Church each made vain grabs at him only to be shaken off. He had made a brilliant ran of thirty yards before downed. An off-side play gave thé C. A. C. the ball. Darby tried a run, but King broke through and downed him some distance back of his starting place. Shields received his signal for kick, which Princeton blocked by breaking through Columbia's center. The ball was not Given to Princeton, however, asa claim of off- side play was allowed by the umpire. Again Shields kicked to Homans. ‘The latter started ona long run, which advanced the play Sbicty yards further down the field. Before hand could again be put in play time for the firet wascalled. THE INTERMISSION. During the intermission many of the specta- tors swarmed on the field to personally inspect the plucky, steady men who will battle for Princeton and the championship against Yale. They watched with especial amusement the “freshening” process McMaster treated his “pete” to. Each man had the dust and dirt sponged from his eyes and hair. His bruises were attended to,and the grooming a race has between heats is not more careful than the treatment bestowed on these players, At the same time the Princeton men held an informal reception. Old college acquaintances were renewed with a hearty handshake. came in for the major sbare from his many ad. mirersin this city. Balliett, the center, and Randolph, substitute end and tackle, both of whom are old Lehigh players, were welcomed by the Lehigh men at the game. Poo was tho center of a group of Baltimoreans. THE SECOND HALF. The intermission was quickly up. The crowd returned to their seats, while the players again took the fleld. By a slanting wedge Poe gained fifteen yards. King added ten more. Homans WHEELER GETS IT IN THE ¥YE. then step; back as though to kick. but when he received the ball he skirted the right end for fifteen yards, Whecler was putting up a capi- tal game, making five and ten yards at each at- tempt. An unfortunate fumble gave Columbia the ball near their own goal. Shields tried to kick, but the line let Princeton through to block the plav. The ball bounded back of the goal line. where Lewis dropped on it, scoring a safety. Score, 20 to 0. From the twenty-five-yard line Columbia gaired eight yards. At this point the only un- pleasant featare of the game occurred—one of the Princeton men struck aC. A. C. player a bard blow with his fist in full view of the crowd. Immediately cries went up to “put him off” the field, and Joud hisses were heard. The blow was not seen by the umpire, and the game proceeded. Princeton secured the leather at the thirty-vardline. King carried it fifteen yards; Bartels added ten more, and then King crossed the line for another touch down. Homans kicked goal. Score, 26 to 0. ‘The V gained five yards, five more were al- lowed for off-side play,and Lewis and Catlin by yood runs advanced the ball ten more. This Brought tho play well into Princeton's field. In the next scrimmage Bartels was injured to such an extent that he was obliged to retire, Bar- nett ore him. Shiclds’ attempt to kick was blocked, allowing Hall to obtain possession of the ball.

Here again distinguished him- elf by a pheyomenal run. He r ed the ball center and though tacked several times shook his opponents off and scored a touch down. Homans kicked goal. Score, 32 to 0. 80 FAR AND NO FARTHER. Columbia made her usual ten-yard gain on the V, but went no further. Homans kicked to Bhields at the fiftee: rd line, where a fumble gave the leather to Princeton. Poe advanced five yards, Barnett five more and Wheeler cov- ered the remaining distance and scored the sixth touch down. Homans kicked goal. Score, 38 to 0.

A blocked kick al- lowed the “Tigers” next possession. King onee more made a brilliant run, covering over forty yards, Time was nearly up. The ball was d to Wheeler, who made the last touch own fast as tie willie blew.. Homans missed goal and the great game was over. Score, 42 tod. Touch downs were made by King, 8; Whecler, 2; Bartels, 1, and Hall, 1. Homans missed but ‘one goal. A SATISFACTORY RESULT.

He will surely profit by the pointers Homans gave him at the close of the game, and after few more matches will prove « valuable full THE PRINCETON PLAYERS. As individuals Princeton 1s very strong. King is not only fitted by exceptional qualities for his position as captain, but is a phenomenal half back. Homans’ fame as one always to be relied on needs no comment. He is a strong, accurate punter, uses good judgment and ise fast run- ner. Bartels is a little too slow to get around the end, but as a line bucker is very successful. Trenchard is an old reliable, and so is Holly. Macauley did not show very strong points and Taylor appeared a little weak. Hall and Wheeler are strong besides their abilities to gain Ground when given the ball. Balliett is bard to it at center. Though Poo is hardly the equal of brother ss a quarter back, he plays a very good game in that po- sition, passing with accuracy and interfering well for his backs. Princeton's chances for the championship would geem very bright. Last night the Princeton team occupied boxes at the National Theater.

The series of exhibition games by Emanuel Lasker, the choss expert, were opened Monday afternoon at the Manhattan Chess Club, New York. A. Ettlinger, a strong amateur, was the visitor's first opponent. The toss-up was won by the New Yorker, who sclected tho white men and played 1. P-K4. Lasker adopted the Sicil- ian defense, followed up by P-Q3 and subse- quently with tho king's fianchetto, a line of play first introduced by W. Paulsen and since adopted by all the leading masters as being the strongest form of Sicilian defense. Lasker wound up the game by sacrificing his queen, thus forcing a mate, Ettlinger resigned on the thirty-ninth move. The complete score of the game FILST GAME—SICILIAN DEFENSE. A. Ettlingor—White. F.

Nearly every wheelman who hae been on the road has had this experience and many 8 poor canine bas felt the effect of a blow from the wheelman's foot. Itis fact that many dogs have been cured of this annoyance by coming in contact with a large size shoe. In some parts of the country whore dogs have been particularly troublesome the wheelmen cured them by carrying pieces of poisoned meat, which is nover refused by a country dog, and in one section of New Jersey some months ago the wheelmen came near extétminating t canines. Such a practice has not been indulged in in this part of the country, the only act yet complained of in that direction being the Kill- ing of a dog on the Conduit road some months ago. THE LEAGUE ELECTION. Interest in matters pertaining to the Leaguo of American Wheelmen will soon be revived, as the election of officers of this division is to be held next month, at which time reports will be made concerning the annual meet of the L. A. W., which was hold here in July last. Several names have been mentioned for the office of chief consul. The present chief con- sul bas many friends in the lengue, but many of the members are anxious for a change, and the names of such persons as Capt. Macdaniel of the Capital Biovele Club, Capt. Robertson of the Arlington Wheelmen, Vice Consul Churchill and Chief Centurion Terry of the Crescent Century Club have been mentioned as candidates for the office. THE SELECT CLUB. Probably the most enjoyable run last Sunday was that of the Select Club, composed of ladies and gentlemen. The threatening weather in the morning caused a change in the program, but the change proved an excellent one, the mem- bers being treated toa much pleasanter jour- ney. Instead of going to Falls Church, a3 was intended, the party rode off through Virginia in another direction, going through Alexandria and getting a fine view of the city, the rivor and New Alexandria from the high hills over- looking these places. Leaying Alexandria the wheelmen started along the tracks ot the Alex- andria and Fredericksburg railroad. The first thing encountered was a well-dressed young man who evidently was not used to perform- ing any manual labor. He had a story to tell of his misfortune which sounded like the repo- tition of “Little Juckie Horner” by a small school boy who had committed it to memory, and all he wanted was a little help. Leaving the distressed stranger to seek other victims, the wheel riders went on their journey along the smooth, hard path, next to the rati- road track, making an occasional dismount for a break in the road, a culvert or a switch. All the way to Bush Hill the track was in exellent condition. It was about dinner time when this station was reached and pangs of hunger, re- sulting from the healthful exercise, caused them to turn their attention to something with which to satiety tho inner man, “Everything comes to him who waits,” mut mured one of the wheelmen, but it was a case of hustle this time, for at one house after a other they were informed that there was either nothing to ent in the house or the family wanted to go to church, Mr. John Brown of Park Hill proved a mas- cot. and his kind-hearted wife said she would never turn any one away hungry. Fresh home- made bread and sugar-cured ham, with fresh garden vegetables and hot coffee, were pro- vided and Mra. Brown positively refused rec- ompense therefor. After dinner the wheelmen spent the afternoon in the house of the hos- pitable family and left only because of the late- nees of the hour. On the return trip the riders bad a good time, the wind being on their backs and the road being perfectly dry. Upon reaching Alexandria the residents turned out in large numbers, After another run of two miles Four-Mile Run was reached, and there the members of the Owl Club entertained the wheelmen at a ‘possum dinner. From'there the members of the Select Club returned home on a train, CRESCENT CENTURY WHEELMEN, Members of the Crescent Century Wheelmen are still on the road trying to roll up the num- ber of century bars,as the contest for the largest number before winter sets in is getting warm. Mr. Ed. Terry, the centurion of the club, is still in the lead, having seven bars attached to his road club insignia. There are several | Nheelmen who have four bars, while one or two | have five or six bara, The semi-annual run of the club was made Inst Sunday to Frederick. Saturday night's rain caused a discussion as to the advisability of postponing the run, and, acting under the im- pression that the run had been postponed, members failed to put in an appearance wore on hand at the appointed hour, and with them were two guests and Mr. Potts of the Arlington Wheolmen. The five wheelmen left 14th street and Florida avenue at twenty minutes after 6 o'clock, being twenty minutes behind the time set. and reached the first stopping place (Mechanicsville), ninetoen miles distant, before 8 o'clock. The rond was heavy and the wheelmen found it bard work shoving through the mud. They left Mechan- fesville at 8 o'clock and rode to the next station, Laytonsville, ix miles distant, reaching the cross roads in less than an hour's time. ‘The next run was to Damascus, a distance of feven miles, and the wheelmen were allowed one hour in which to make it. They were ahead of time at this place, giving them an oppor- tunity to rest themselves and get in con- dition in order to make tho noxt stretch of eleven miles to New Market, where they were dueat 11 o'clock Another ride of eight miles and the five wheelmen entered the city of Fred~ erick, the other end of the ride, reaching there ahead of time. ‘There they were allowed until 1:80 o'clock for dinner and at that ti: Fox f started on the return trip. ‘They came over the same road. The winds had dricd the roads somewhat and riding was made casler, only the wind was in thelr faces instead of being in their backs, as it was on the outward trip. Home was reached about 7:30, making the trip of 102 miles consume thirteen hours and ten minutes’ time.
