Dy this time McCarty's seconds had | climbed into the ring and, led by bis manager, Henry Irslinger, they all began to yell at Referee McPartland that Cowler had struck a foul blow. McCarty, still groggy from the blow, was placed in his corner and his seo- onds worked over him, In the mean time McPartland stood in a neutral corner without paying any attention to McCarty’s seconds. ‘When the bell rang for the beginning of the third round, Referee MoPart- land, taking notice that MoCarty made no attempt to leave his corner, immediately began to count. As Mc- Carty was still in bis chair when the tenth second had been called out, Me- Partiand waved Cowler back to bis corner, which gave him a knockout victory.

POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—Army and Navy met here this afternoon on a field that was simply a plain of black mud covered with wat turf. The drizzling rain of the morning showed no signs of letting up as game time approached. But not even a New York drizzle can keep a crowd of Army and Navy people away from the annual scrap, jo’clock the trains running to the Polo Grounds were filled with spectators. Long before 1 OLIPHANT RUNNING WITH We Bau. WHEN carr. Sewn, (ert 2) Reacre: FoR A RUNNER.» t stretched its entire length, For nent there was silence over the field. Then the Navy band into a a quickstep, and the whol broke y banner jogged quickly up row of the rooters’ section. after file the middies followed into their posttio: a gallant sight. Pres . sitting there watching them, must have felt a thrill of pride in this small section of American pre- paredness, As the last of the Navy rooters took File quickstepping Even at that time thousands were already in the grandstands. At quarter past 1 the giants of the Army team came out for a warming UP practice, A few goals were kicked and then the West Pointers withdrew and the Navy men came out The gridiron on the Polo Grounds crowns up in the middle. This made the players look taller and heavier than they really are. Thirty minutes before game time even the bleachers wer half filed, The drizzling rain was falling steadily and the whole bleachers ection became a wide sweep coverd with black mushroon-like um- brellas. Al around theg ridiron soldiers in regular khaki uniform stood guard. Down inthe far corner came a distant refain ofmartialm usic. The cadets were forming outside the grounds for the warlike parade over the gridiron and the march into their rooting section. Then came the band and in after it marched the gray cloaked West Pointers, Each carried a yellow pennant with the word "Army" printed in gray and black letters. As the last of the Army rooters tramped into their positions a piercing yell went up and out upon the field rushed the Army team for a little more wet weather practice, The crowd was pouring in through entrances ‘Thousands of ladies showing in their holiday costumes formed partisanship for Army and Navy tramped through the rain as if drooping feathers and bedraggled ribbons were not of the slightest consequence in the world And, after all, what are a few frip- peries on a day like this? They crossed the soaking edges of the grid- jron and slushed through the mud quite cheerfully, Tho stands were filling faster and faster, Several moving picture ma- chines came out and the cranks be- gan to turn while the army rooters sang and waved their yellow pen- nants The Army rooters were very cheer- ful, They had good reason to be, they had a treat in prospect. They could look across the fleld and see the Navy rooters sitting out in the rain in the open bleachers. The Army rooting Rey tion was unde over on the south ide of the grandstand | PRESIDENT AND PARTY WERE AMONG EARLY ARRIVALS. President Wilson arrived early with his party. Ha took position on the Navy The Middies bad not yet come in. While waiting for them the crowd was entertained by the singing of the West Pointers, who were in great voice. Five big touring cars came in through the entrance and ran up alongside one side of the bleachers, They had their tops up and curtains on, and the spectators, whose view was cut off, protested loudly. After a few minutes @ police officer Jumped on the running board of the first car and they we ed around the gridiron to the lower end of the fleld After a little more delay they -went slowly out and through the entrance trunnel. The rush was working every entrance gate to its full ca- pacity, Outside the grounds thou- sands of people awaited their chance to get in. At 1.55 the huge stands were nearly filled. The only place whera vacant seats showed was the big patch of yellow, where the navy rooters were to ait, GREAT ROAR GREETS ADVANCE GUARD OF NAVY ROOTERS, At 2 o'clock a welcoming roar throughout the grandstand and the Navy advance guard suddenly marched in through the black mouth |* of the tunnel entrance, In an instant the Nayy band cloaked jn blue with capes of red marched swiftly out upon the field, After them, company by company, the middies followed, Like the Army boys, they wero men of whom all America’ could well feel proud, They wero great, stalwart, broad shouldered follows. They marohed across the gridiron and fin- ally formed in two long double lines thelr seats the Army roared its first fighting song. This was the song they sang Good night, Navy. Oh the Army, old ne fighting army, every sturdy man in grey is ready for | the fray And when the game is over, just re- member what the Cadets say. Oh the Army mn never beat that fighting Army. For it's good night Navy, Good night Navy. You have to give the victory to the Army team The Navy yelled a wild yell of de- flance with a frantic fluttering of their blue and gold pennants. While they were still yelling out came the Army team upon the field with a rush. And as they came up rose a flight of hundreds of pigeons released in front of the Army rooters’ stands. As the pigeons rose in the air from each fluttered a bright col streamer. At a quarter ock the teams lined up. Bilarts FRE Bowting Prices and Ti REPAIRS BY EXPERT.
