GAME OF THE SEASON > Tomorrow’s Contest Between George- town and Virginia. SOUTHERN FOOT BALL CHAMPIONSHIP Recent Struggles on the Gridiron Field. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES The foot ball game of the season will be played tomorow afternoon on Georgetown field between the teams of the blue and gray and the eleven representing the Uni- versity of Virginia. It will be a game in which more than usual interest is centered, and will practically settle the foot ball cham- pionship of the south, ach team has great hopes of victory, which each will regard as a sort of vindication. The apparent neces- sity for vindication was the termination of the game played about a fortnight ago at Charlottesville, Va., between Georgetown and Virginia. The score stood 10 to 0 in favor of the local players, when the Vir- ginians refused to continue playing on ac- count of a decision of the referee, and the game was given to Georgetown. There was more or less ill-wfll caused at the lime over the decision. After Georgetown returned home the Virginians sought another game. ‘The negotiations for the game culminated in the arrangement for tomorrow afternoon. The Virginians w » accompanied by a crowd of several hundred students from their university, while the Georgetown root- . The ers wili be out in for deni specta ing the law and m come out The law students will meet at their building at 2 o'clock. Th have engaged the Gonzaga College Band, and, headed by the music, wil to the medical school, where the medicos will tait ‘nio line and the two schools march to Georgetown field. The game will also be quite a social event. and it ts expected that there will be a large display of fashionable equipages on the field. ‘There will be plenty of space on the west side of the field for teams. The location of the gridiron has been slightly changed for the occasion. Manager Watkins decided that the location of the gridiron did not allow the spectators in the grand stand to see the fine points of play- ing. The gridiron has been changed to ex- tend northwest and southeast. The view from the grand stand will take in the entire center of the gridiron, with the edge of the field being as Close as possible to the stand. In order to prevent a recurrence of the recent unsatisfactory result at Charlottes- Ville officials have been selected who are not interested in either of the teams. Richard Armstrong has been chosen referee and Ad- dison Kelly umpire. Armstrong formerly played half back for Yale and was at one time captain of the senior crew. Kelly is a graduate of the class of “08 of Princeton, and during the Spanish war served in a Philadelphia battery. He umpired the re- cent University of Virginia-Princeton game and has officiated at a number of other events in the foot ball world. Georgetown was once defeated this year, and then at the hands of Swarthmore Col- lege of Pennsylvania. The team was com- paratively raw then and since then has made wonderful progress under the direc- tion of Coach Donovan. When the game at Charlottesville was played the blue and gray team was comparatively raw. The games played after this event proved of ue, and the team work ts excellent, 1 work being sacrificed by many members of the team. The men play to- gether with a will and make a fine showing. On the other hand, the University of Vir- 300 or 400 stu- ginia is said to have improved much more in playing form than Georgetown. The game November 2 at Princeton, in which the Tigers were held down to 12 to 0. show- ed that the Virginians played in good form. This is perhaps the only big game that Vir- ginia has played this season. Georgetown has not met any of the big college teams. While not definitely settled the line-up of Georgetown will be somewhat different from heretofore. Walsh is expected to be back in the game. and Captain Casey will play the same position he did tn the Villa- nova game, that of quarter back. The line- up of both teams tomorrow will most Iike- ly be as follows: Georgetown. Position. Green Left end Walsh. Left tackle Moore. Left guard Long. . - Center . Lynch. ght guard Callahan. Right tackle . Murphy - Right end .. Casey (cap.).. Smith. Owens... Kenna.. Quarter back | Left half back - Right half back Full back . SATURDAY'S FOOT LL RESULTS.

A large crowd gathered to witness a game of foot ball Saturday on the grounds of the Maryland Agricultural College between that college and Rock Hill. The teams were eveniy matched, but the superior team work of the M. A. C. was too much for their a Score: M. A. C., 27; Rock Hill, 0. The Washington Chess Club gooms, 614 12th street northwest, presented a busy scene Saturday evening. Six match games were played, one of which was for the championship of the District, besides sev- eral off-hand games, and there was a large number of spectators to witness the con- tests. The game between Messrs. Walker and Hanna for the District championship at- tracted most attention. Mr. Walker had first move, and played a queen's side open- ing, which is his favorite. Mr. Hanna’s defense gave Walker an opnortunity to make a vigorous attack on the king’s side, with the result that black’s king became much exposed, aid Mr. Walker was en- abled to announce mate in two moves on his twenty-seventh turn to play. The score stands: Hanna 2, Walker 1. The following is the score of the third game: Opening—Queen’s Gambit Declined. Whtte. Black. | White. Black. F.B.Waiker. E.P.Hanna.| F.B.Waiker. E.P.Hanna.

(A) Mr. Hanna expressed the opinion, af- ter the game, that this advance was pre- mature. His opponent said he thought the position on black’s queen's wing justified it.

Mr. Thomas was a close second, with victories over Woodwarl and . but Saturday evening he lowered Dr. Hodges, who won in moves. Mr. Lincoln P. ntered the tournament the past week, and has already taken a prominent pluce by drawing a game with Mr. Camp- beil and winning from Mr. Prender. Mr. Heydler is showing considerable strength. Mr. Harris lost a game to Mundelle and drew with Kaye, and has dropped to sev- enth place. The following {s the standing of the play ers to date: Won.

Mr. Hanna, however, won three games and lost none. : Mr. Steinitz, who for twenty-eight years held the title of champion of the world, but was defeated twice by Lasker, is not content with his laurels, but has expressed a desire to meet Pillsbury in a match for the championship of the United States. He states that he does not think Pillsbury is entitled to that title until he has de- feated the veteran. In their individual games Steinitz is one game ahead of Pills- bury. Mr. Stearn from New York was a visitor at the club last week and tried conclusions with Mr. Goldsborough, one of the strong- est players in four games. Mr. Golds- borough allowed him but one game, drew two and won one. ’ Janowski, the Parisian master, arrived in New York last week fatigued, but other- wise in good health. His first object is his match with Showalter, the details of which are being arranged by the Manhattan Club. He appears to be desirous of mak- ing a tour of the country, and will be glad ly welcomed by the votaries of the game everywhere. No doubt simultaneous exhi- bitions will be arranged to meet the ex- penses of the trip. The derivation of the word “chess” has been the subject of many dissertations, with the probability that none has struck rear the mark. Does this appear to strike any way close to {t? A little girl of this city, ignorant of the game and its name, with her father visited a country uncle. The two men, both raw amateurs, were soon engaged in a game, and very quickly one was tagging the opposing king all over the board, calling “check” at every move. The child watched for a time and went down to her aunt, who asked her where her uncle and father were. She an- swered: “Up stairs playing checks.” ‘The Siar appears to be the only paper in the country alive to the fact that if the Pritishers win the next cable match the Newnes trophy will be fought for no more, as it will then be their property. Nothing is being said, rothing done. Capt. O'Far- rell cf this city, on the committee 2ppoint- cd some weeks since to prepare the way for a formal union of American chess clubs and the choosing of the strongest players to represent our side, is anxiously awaiting a summon; to its first meeting. Commit- tees of experts and laymen well posted on the news of the game have but little to go on. If Waskington has a leading player and PhiJadelphia has one, and so on, who can tell the best without competition be- tween them? This defective system has been used twice to failure. By push, tele- graphic, if not over the board, competition cculd be arranged between competitors named by the various clubs and superiority soon established. With three compara- tively weak men we lost by but a single game. If elther Hanna or Walker of this city had heen given a place, we would in all probability have had a won game and the match. The ending in the following game fs one of Morphy’s finest specimens. The opening 1s conducted not on lines to be adopted against an equal adversary—in that case sixth move B to B4 would be replaced by K Kt to Rid. Yet Barnes was one of the very strongest of the English players, only Stanton and Boden ranking him. The final cause of his troubles was 14-p. to KB3, al- lowing the ingenious resulting lines of play. His seventeenth move sacrificing the queen for the knight was to prevent Bishop to KtS ch. mating in two moves. Morphy’s sacrifice of Bishop for pawn on move fif- teen makes way for the following move of the Kt. The play was handsomely follow- ed out, White rightly resigned after Mor- phy’s twenty-third move, for if RxQ then RKS ch. mates in two. Opening—Philidor’s Defense. Morphy. { Barnes. Morphy.

The Chevy Chase Golf Club is coming to the front with rapid strides. Several of the members of the club have made tours into the surrounding country and have come back bearing trophies of their prowess. The links of the Chevy Chase club has always been a most excellent one, but recently nine holes have been added, which brings it up to an excellent standing compared with that of other clubs. At an early day it ts ex- pected the club will make application to be admitted into the United States Golf Asso- ciation. Such action will greatly increase the interest in the game around Washing- ton and benefit the club in many ways on account of the privileges that go with such membership. The record of the members of the Chevy something. to be envied, eight cups tats somet! . al to the lot of the local players at Baltimore, Hot Springs and Fort Monroe. At Hot Springs Mr. Clarence Moore was the bright particular star, winning the qualification cup from Mr. Jasper Lynch of Lakewood, a well-Kown play¢r}with a national reputa- tion. In this tournament John F. Leech was another winner, securing the runner-up cup in the semi-finals. Another achievement was the new record establish- ed by him At the Fort Momhroe tournament Mr. Moore again came to the front, repeating his victory at Hot Springs by again winning the qualification cup. The. cup presented by the Chamberlin Hotel was won by Mr. Gecrge Lafferty at the same tournament, while the consolation cup was captured by Mr. George pee In the Elkridge Hunt Club tournament “Mr. McCammon won the consolation cup and a,cup for the mixed foursome contests, his partner being Miss McLane of Baltimore. BOWLING. The Columbia 4. C. Team Took One Game at Baltimore. The Columbia Athletic Club bowling team went to Baltimore Saturday evening and played a set of three games with the team representing the Gentlemen's Driving Park of that, city. The Columbias captured but one gaine, but as It was the first appear- ance of the C. A. C.'s fn team piay, where- as their opponents’ have been playing for several weeks and are at present near the top in the Baltimore Bowling League, the result was satisfactory. The Columbias developed a good style of play and were particuiarly expert in bowl- ing difficult spares: Stitt and Desio each made 5-10, Dr. Ricker made 7-8 and Von Boeckman secured the very good one, 6-10-7. The Baltimoreans played host*in the most generous fashion, and made nothing too good for the Washington players. The two teams will meet in a return game on the C. A. C. alleys December 10. ; Coilumbias opened with poor luck in the first game, Stitt, Von Boeckman and Desio all making splits. Then followed a run of clean frames, and the Columbias got a good lead, losing it. however, before the end o: tne first half and remaining behind during the balance of the game.

The score was 1B to 4. gest ow | ° The game was, fagt-and snappy, and char- acterized by rather rough playing. It was played under the flatjonal rules, with the exception of the fiumber of players, and was witnessed py a large gathering. The work of Hoimead, Smith and Muél- ler of the Mount Pleasants was heartily applauded, while Burnett, Mackey and Kendall of the Infantry put up an excel- lent game.

The fifth match for the American Whist League trophy was played in Boston Satur- day night at the rooms of the American Whist Club of that city, the Pyramid four, representing the Americans, and the Penn- sylvanias of Philadelphia being the contest- ants. The result of the match was a vic- tory for the Pyramids by the score of 28 to 14, making the fifth straight win for the Boston boys. The gentlemen comprising the two teams were: Pyremid—H. H. Ward, H. Phelps, M. L. Messer and C. L. Becker. Pennsylvania—J. Steelman, George Wal- ton, W. Strong and A. M. Billstein. The celebrated Whist Club of New York is the next challenger and will meet the Pyramids next Saturday. Whist in local circles will be rather dull the coming week on account of the election excitement. Many of the best players have gone home to vote and will not return be- fore the end of the week, and the discussion of election results for the next few days will stamp out whist matches for the time being.

WM. HAHN & CO.’S RELIABLE Seteeeepetetetated LOSS OF THE MARIA TERESA Thrilling Story Told by Lieutenant Com- mander Harris, a Report to the Navy Department— Hard Fight for Hours to Save the Cruiser. A thrilling story of the loss of the cruiser Infanta’ Maria Teresa is given in the offi cial report of Lieutenant Commander Ha ris to the Secretary of the Navy. on board the wrecking steamer Merritt, fifty miles off Charleston, November 4, and says: “Secretary of the Navy, Washington. “Sir: I have the honor to make the foi- lcwing report of the loss of the Infanta Ma- ria Teresa on November 1 at 1 a.m I found that it was blowing hard and went on the lower bridge. We had left Watling’s Isl- and light abeam at 10 o'clock, and up till midnight the weather was pleasant and all went well with the ship, although we hal trouble in keeping the pump in the forwarél tire room from being choked with coal. Tac wind continued to increase in force until perhaps 3 a.m., when it reached its height. although there were times all day when it blew as hard as ever. The direction about northe: The sea continued to rise until perhaps 6 p.m. There was a heavy sea all the following day. The pumps were re- ported every hour. Soon after 1 came on deck I relieved the second mate, Mr. John- zon, so that he could go below to fight the water. About 3:30 the first mate, Captain Lecato, came up and he also went below to work. | Captain Chittenden, who was on deck almost as soon as I, gave his attention to the pumps, and especially to priming t centrifugal pump in the forward fire reom. There were many new leaks. When a heavy sea struck the sides the plates leaked at the butts and seams, showing that after the fire they had resumed their former appear- ance, but were not tight. There was at the muainmast an inch of thwartship vibration and only half an inch longitudinal vibra- tion. While making this examination about 4:30 a.m. Captain Chittenden was thrown down and fell on the chain, hurting his side and back enough to temporarily disable him. He continued to give us valuable ad- “At 3 a.m. we made signal to the Vulcan and Merritt to go to windward, which they did as well as they could. Up to 1 o'clock am. we were running the starboard main engines and had steam on the two central boilers, and three of the short forward boilers, but the trouble in the forward fire room caused the steam to run low, and lighted fires under the starboard after boiler, and stopped the engine so as to run the steam up for the pumps. The pump for keeping the water from the forward compartment was driven by a belt, and when the sea broke over the bows the belt became wet and slipped. As soon as the water was up to the floor place in the for- ward fire room the rolling of the ship swashed into the coal bunkers and carried the coal out, choking the pump and carry- ing the floor plates about, which made it ditticult and dangerous to work there. Volunteers Called For. “About 8 o'clock I called for volunteers to hoist coal and water in the ash hoist. Everybody responded and the work was continued as long as it seemed of any use. About 3:30 a.m. it was reported that water was coming into one of the starboard for- ward coal bunkers and running into the fire rooms. Where the water came from we do not know. “About 2 o'clock the 11-inch gun in the after turret ran out and in twice. When it recoiled the second time something gave way and it settled to extreme elevation and remained stationary. We asked the Vulcan to signai the Leonidas to stay close to us, and the latter hoisted the flag at the signal yard arm, which was a signal agreed upon to call tue Leonidas to come within hail. She was steaming ahead of us and making rather bad weather. It seems as if she feared to turn in the heavy sea, but eventually she did cross ahead of the Merritt and twice passed under the Maria’s stern, although at some distance. I think she picked up the life rafts which the Vul- can threw over. About 11:30 we signaled the Vulcan to ask the Merritt if we could be turned safely to run for the lee of Wat- lings Island. To this Captain Wolcott re- plied “no,” and as Chaptain Chittenden thought We would sink if we tried to turn, this idea was given up. Both the Vulcan and Merritt could with difficulty keep us head to/wind, and the sea was running so high that the Vulcan's bitts started, or the tow lines parted. The ship would fall into the trough of the sea. At 1 p.m. Captain Chittenden asked me to signal the Vuican to cast off the Merritt's tow lines and have the Merritt come alonside. Abandoning the Ships. “I then assumed the command, told the men what was to be done and assigned them stations. I told the chief engineer to start the engine to aid the Vulcan in keeping our head up. He did so, but it could run but a short time with steam we had. We signaled the Vulcan, ‘We are about to abandon ship, try to keep us head to wind.’ I ordered Captain Lecato to take charge of the lee surf boat, and when it was lowered to the rail ordered Captain Chittenden into it against his repeated pro- tests. He was placed in the boat with his. son. This boat was unable to reach the lines. we had astern, but the Merritt picked it up, and after taking Captain Chittenden aboard towed the boat to our lee quarter and repeated this maneuver each trip, forming a lee for the boats to come here and then towing them back. She was splen- didly handied. From 2 until 5 the work of transferring the crew continued. Captain Lecato made two more trips, when, his arm being disabled, his place was taken by Mr. Johnson, who also took two boat load: ‘The life raft was gotten over and capsized, but was righted. {t was put in charge of James Bachford, ordinary sea- man of the Illinois Naval Militia. He and his crew took six Cubans to the Merritt. The smaller surf boat stowed inboard on the lee side was then gotten out, and F put it in charge of Charles A. Dunne, quar- termaster first class.- I gave him nearly all the good seamen left for a crew. It was launched very handsomely and made two trips. In all these trips we poured oil from the sponsons on both sides, and the Vulcan also used ofl to make it smooth It is dated | Few other x Good Things.

I doubt if we could have worked without it. The ship labored more and more heavily. Be- fore I left the bridge she rolled her sponsons under, which { should estimate to be 30 feet, and her pitching was enough to show her rudder, propellers and perhaps twelve feet of her keel. She was about four feet by the head. She fell into the sea very heavily and shuddered as she rose. There was no water aft. The Vulcan did her best to keep our head up, steering to starboard and going to full speed whilst the sea beat the Teresa’s head to port. Throughout the day the Vulcan did every- thing possible. We were constantly sig- naling. Men Behave Well. “With the exception of three men whe got drunk and gave much trouble, all the crew behaved well. Every man did his duty, and my orders were instantly obeyed by wreckers and men of the navy. When “the fires were low I called for volunteers, and the donkey bollers were at once filled up. Twice I asked C. F. Smith and James F. Brien, chief machinists, to oil the steer- ing engine, and they did so, and the engine ran till we-deft. When I took Dunne from the helm to lower the smaller surfboat his place was taken by William C. Morhoff, machinist, second class, who steered the wreck until we left the bridge together, wher he lashed the wheel amidships. Wil- lard Crossett, bugier, was signalman, and was as coolas possible. He made no mis- takes and was very useful to megs a mes- senger. About 4:30 he made signal, ‘Hi on to the wreck until you are sure she is right side to go over a man’s shoulder. The end was slacked from the ship, and when two men jumped they were hauled into the boat. A very fine fellow named Olsen at- tended to this. When all had gone but he and I he cut the line and we jumped to- gether. it was perhaps 5:30 when we reached the Merritt. While she was get. ting in the surfboats the Vulcan slipped the hawser of the Infanta Maria Teresa. 1 expect that the wreck dragging off to port brought all the strain on the port bridle and started the bitts. When the boats were in, the Merritt, at my request, started to speak the Vulcan, but was unable to reach her, and she apparently did not hear our whistle. The Merritt then returned to find the wreck, but could not do so. The search continued until 1 p.m. the following day, when she headed for Charleston. “Very respectfully, IRA HARRIS, “Lieutenant Commander, U. 8. N.” i Funeral of John Roots.
