O PHILADELPHLV, Nov. 26. West Point defeated the Annapolis football eleven, 11 to 0 two touchdowns and one goal. The score does not properly indicate the relative strength of the two elevens, for probably not in the history of the great university game have two teams been more evenly matched. The first touchdown for the Army was the result of a fumble by one of the Navy backs, but the brilliancy with which Tip ton, the Army center, took advantage of the error has never been excelled, if equalled, on a football gridiron. The game had been in progress less -than ten .minutes when West Point, Jound the Navy line a Gibraltar, and Torley kicked to midfleld. There were three jAnnapolls men under the punt, but when all had been thrown, the ball roye'off to one side of the mass of player?. 'Tipton, coming on from behind, kicked . the ball toward the Navy's goal. Pursued by half a dozen Navy men, he had no time to stoop and secure the sphere, but, rushing on, he again dribbled it. His aim was ac curate, and the ball was driven nearer the Navy's goaL A third kick, and the pigskin was behind the Navy's goal. Tip ton lying upon It. It was probably the turning point of victory for West Point. Up to this time the Annapolis boys had really outplayed their heavier opponents. and on the exchange of punts aided by a stiff wind had gradually forced West Point nearer her own goal line. This touchdown gave West Point the advantage of the wind, and was doubtless mainly responsible for the victory of the Army. Doe missed goal, and the score stood 5 to 0, in favor of the Army. On an exchange of punts the Army se cured the ball on the Navy's 50-yard line. From this point it required 22 minutes for the Army to force the ball to the Navy's goal, and this with a gift of five yards for off-side play. A few minutes before the close of the game the Navy, by brilliant line-bucking by Doherty and Cormlee. the latter hav ing taken Smith's position at fullback, carried the ball from their own 3S-yard line to within 20 yards of West Point's sroal. where it was lost ondowns. In this half the advantage, if there really was any, favored the Navy. Noted Men Attend Game. The attendance was 30,000. and society was present In force.

After three and a half minutes' play, during which' the Haskell Indians fairly ran the Carlisle braves off their feet and Hauser, Has kells right end, kicked a field goal from the lS-yard line, the vaunted speed of the Western Indians, spent Itself against the brawn and muscle of the Eastern red men, and the latter's heavy plunging backs tore through Haskell's line almost at will, followed the opposing line back upon Itself when Haskell got the ball, and piled up a score of SS to 4 before the end of the second half. With ideal football weather and many strong supporters of the two Government Indian Schools in the city, besides the Interest aroused in the contest by non partisan lovers of the sport contributing to the success of -the game, there were 'more than 12.000 persons In the World': Fair stadium when Llbbri kicked off. After the spectacular dash of the Has kell team, the Carlisle gridiron warriors recovered their true form and plunged through the Haskell line, gained many yards on end plays and In every other way completely outplayed the Western ers. The only time in the second half that Haskell forced Carlisle to punt was when the Westerners made a magnificent try of their goal line, after B. Pierce had made It a first down on the Haskell four yard line. Dillon gained a yard, and on a fumble advanced the ball to within six inches of the Haskell goal, where the ball again rested after Dillon had been Kent smashing against Haskell's right guard. It was Haskell's ball, and E. Hauser panted out 'or immediate danger. Line-up: Carlisle. Position. Haskell. Rogers L. E..... Guyer Bowea L. T..E. Hauser. Payer. McLean Dillon L.

Willamette Second Team Too Fast for Fort Stevens' Slueeoafs. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem, Or., Nov. 26. (Special.) The Willamette University second team defeated the first team of the Fort Stevens soldiers by the score of 17 to 0 in an interesting game played on Willamette Field today. The game was free from dispute. During the first few minutes of play the teams were so evenly matched, both In defense and offense, that neither side could make yardage. The Willamette boys proved to have the better wind, however, and after ten min- OREGON BOY IN WEST POINT TEAM Thomas W. Hammond. Thomas W.

DAVIS MAKES A TOUCHDOWN Portland High School Team Work Defeats Astorians. ASTORIA. Or., Nov. 26. Portland High School defeated Astoria High bchool in -a hard-fougnt game this af ternoon. The visitors' team .work was better than that of tho Astoria lads, and the Astoria line was repeatedly torn up. The first half was character ized by a desperate struggle for yard age, the opposing teams disputing every inch of ground. The Astoria line held at critical times ana there was no score. In the second half the Astorians put up a better game and gracually forced back the visitors. Tho superior team work of the Portland boys told at this stage and the Astorians were held. The ball was carried to Astoria's 40-yard line, where Davis, Portland s right half back, broke through for a run that netted tho only touchdown of the game. Hosford kicked tho goaL B&t for the defensive work of Gra- ham and Sovey the Astorians -would have been lgnominiously beaten. The teams lined up as follows: A. H. S. Position. 2d P. H. S. Allen L. E.

POLICY IS TO BE CHANGED No Expense Will Be Spared by New Management to Get Best Players, but Reserves Will' Be Held Until Positions Are Filled. On Monday the papers calling for the transfer of the Portland Baseball Club franchise will be signed and Judge W. W. McCreedle and his neph ew, Walter McCreedle. will become sol owners. Walter McCreedle, known to every fan on the Pacific Coast and to many of tho Eastern cranks as "Judge" -McCreedle. will be made manager. Judge McCreedle authorized this statement made last night. He also stated that the transfer would be made tomorrow. The deal would have been consummated yesterday, as The Oro- gonian stated it probably would be, but for the fact that the papers were not ready for the signatures of the Inter ested parties. While the purchasers would not state Just what they paid for tho Portland franchise, it is understood that the amount is $9000. This is fret of all liabilities, and it is understood that all parties owning stock in the almost defunct Ely concern have slm ply wiped out what stock they had. This undoubtedly was done so as to make the sale possible and to save as much out of the- wreck for Ben C. Ely s possible. As near as can be learned Ely will close bis baseball career some, thing like 5S000 loser. This loss must be borne by htm and those who held tock with him, for. Judge McCreedle states positively that when the trans fer Is made that they will not assume any of tho club's former liabilities. Will Get New Players. 'We will close the deal Monday." said Judge McCreedle, "and will open the season next year with a clean slate We will own the entire club and my nephew, Walter McCreedle, will be manager of the team. We will retain none of the old management whatever and will change tho name of the club We will hold onto all our reserves and add new players whenever we can lm prove the team. My nephew is well acquainted with a large number of Eastern players and we will put much new timber into the team, but wo will not release our reserves until we have secured new men to fill their places. We have several good men in view who are anxious to sign with us, but they are now held in reserve In the East and we will lose no time in buying them. although .It may cost us several thous and dollars. Walter will, of course, play on the team as well as be man ager. He Is a good man and knows the game. "I would not care to say what wo will pay for the franchise at the pres nt time. Tou can say It will be $10.- 000 if you want to." Deal Managed Quietly. The coming new manager of the local team has been working on the deal for some time. The thing has been done quietly and only a few knew what was going on. Walter McCreedle, just as soon as the deal is made, will start to work rounding up his team for 1905. Ben Elv mav be retained In some sort of n clerical capacity, nut ne win De wun- out a voice in the management of tho team. The new manager stated tnai he will sign Deacon Van Buren, a bit of news that will please many of the Portland fans. He Is going to retain all of the present players until he has signed others to take their places. It is hardly probable that he will retain.

If anything more ridiculous and de plorable than the efforts to impeach Lou Dillon's championship unpaced mile in :01 and cry fraud at the Memphis Trot ting Association and its officials on ac count of it has ever occurred In the trot ting world, the present writer has yet to hear or read of It, writes J. L. Hewey, In the Chicago Record Herald. A year ago a genuine blot was smeared on the "scutcheon at Wichita. It was suf ficiently deep-dyed and malodorous to satisfy the most Inveterate scandal monger and last Indefinitely. There was here cause sufficient. But the Dillon Memphis case is Its antipodes, and of the effort to make It out another Wichita affair we can only express ourselves In the paraphrase that It is not so much the deed as the attempt that amazes us. The root of the whole matter lies, or course, in the rivalry between .Messrs. Bluings and Smathers. It has gradually grown more Intense for three years past. and the present climax Is not, perhaps. remarkable when what went before is remembered. In 1902 Smathers. with Lord Derby, got the best of Mr. Billings with The Monk in a series of sensational races, winding, up with that for the gold cup at Mem phis. Last year this was reversed. Lou Dillon came Into the market In the Spring. On public form she was an un known quantity, but It was pretty well known to many men that she was a won der. When she was led before the block at Cleveland in May, Smathers had a rep resentative there to bid on ner. Mr. Blu ings was there in person, and against the judgment of his advisers outbid Smathers and all the rest and got her. She soon made It apparent that she. could trot rings around any of the Smathers horses. Then Major Delmar began to loom up. He clearly was the only horse living with even a chance to compete against her: Smathers bought him at private sale it is said for $40,000. but that is only guesswork and the two raced for a cup at Memphis. The mare made the gelding look like hack, and the Smathers colors trailed through the dust to Winter quarters. This year the teetotum whirled back again. Lou Dillon went off early in the season and at no time was the mare of 1S03. Delmar was In grand form through out, and when the two met for the last time the birdlike mare collapsed In a strange and unaccountable manner and the 'gelding won a spectacular but in glorious victory. All Summer, however, he had. been tilt ing at the unpaced record of Cresceus, 2:02U. He beat it at Lexington first In 2:01: at Memphis he trotted In 2:01. There also he pulled the high wheels in :07. Everything was Delmar. The mare was In eclipse. Her owner was almost heartbroken, while Smathers was Jubi lant. The last dying chance was taken with the queen. She was kept at Memphis in the hope that a record-breaking mile might be got out of her. No one for a moment expected her to no what she could do a year ago. But It was believed that, even If not herself, she could still trot a mile faster than Delmar. Well, she has done so. She has trotted two as fast In 2:01U each and one faster In 2:01. And It has hit Smathers so hard that he has forgotten the meaning oi tne worn sporismansmp, to an ap pearances. In his efforts to have her per formances discredited. He has accused something like a score of as representative, reputable horsemen as connected with the harness turf of fraud, and if reports are true no stone is being left unturned In the bolstering up of the charges made. It Is now said that the affidavits of the Smathers timers are to be laid before the board of review next month and the plea made that the mare's record be declared fraudulent. Past history has made it plain that Lou has few friends at court. But In this case there is only one possible procedure for even the famous advisory board which Is to hustle the aforesaid affidavits, etc. into the stretch with em phasis and expedition. That, at least, is the way in which the affair looks to the man up the tree. It Is not a pleasant affair. It i3 distinctly un pleasantto use a word altogether too mild to be fitting. The most unpleasant part Is thatvthls little mare, who. aside from her marvel ous speed, has acquired worldwide fame because she has never been "sweated for the brass," but has been dedicated to the uses of pure sport alone, should be subjected to such an unsportsmanlike as sault. KING'S HORSES ON EXHIBITION Leopold's Animals Attract Great At tention at Chicago Show. CHICAGO. Nov. 26.

T MAY MEAN' NEW HEARING Actress Hopes It Can Be Arranged For at Once, Being Greatly Dis appointed at the Unexpected Turn In Her Case. NEW YORK, Nov. 26. The serious Ill ness or jdwara . Dressier, one or the Jurors, which was reported at the open ing of court today, may necessitate a new trial In the case of Nan Patterson, the former show girl, who is charged with the murder of Caesar Young. An affidavit from the sick juror's phy sician which was presented to Justice Davis said that the patient had suffered stroke of apoplexy and that his con dition is serious. The trial, which was to have been resumed today, was ad journed fdr the time being. Miss Patterson expressea keen disap pointment. t "I suppose this will mean a new trial," she said as she was being led back to her cell In the Tombs. T am sorry the uror Is 111, both for his sake and for my own. I was sure tne jury woma acquit me. If there must be a new trial I hope it will come at once." .Although the members of the Jury and the defendant gave themselves over to complete rest during the Interval afforded by the recess, the attorneys in tne case took advantage of the Intermission in an entirely different way. All their energies were exerted toward bringing closer to gether the material points upon which depends the success or loss of their case. Rumor, which has tigured prominently In the case since the trial began, also was active during the Interval. One of the stories which gained wide circulation and which, if true, undoubtedly will have added materially to the sensational side of the trial, was to the effect that J. Morgan Smith. Nan Pattersons brother- in-law, who fled after he had been sub- penaed to appear before the grand Jury. had been found, and was locked up at police headquarters. This report was later denied by the police, however. The .prosecution has kept up an unre mitting search for Smith ever since he disappeared. They charge that it was Smith who purchased the revolver with which Young was shot, and that he would prove to be their strongest witness if he could be found. Already bmitn s pnoto graph has been Introduced In the case and Identified, and the prosecution has promised that the pawnbroker who sold the revolver will also laentuy tne pnoto graph as that of the man who purchased the weapon. Probably never before in the history or a murder trial In this city was there or ganlzed by the District Attorney's office what might well be called a flying squad ron of detectives. Assistant District At torney Rand has enlisted In his service county detectives, who are stationed at the entrance of the courtroom for no other purpose than to accept, at a mo ment's notice, an order to sally from the building and investigate the character and standing of a new witness for the defense. Those In charge Of the people's case may strive, when the trial Is drawing to a close, to discredit the testimony or the numerous eyewitnesses the defendant's counsel nromlsc to call to the stand. Mr. Rahd states that some of the wit nesses, before they went to the office of Abraham Levy and volunteered their ser vices for Miss Patterson, called on him and declared that they had seen the shooting, and that the actres3 held the weaDon In ber hand. At that time, he sava. the stories were considered hysterl cal and the prosecution cast the offer aside. Lately, however, so many eye witnesses have come forth, says Mr. Rand, .that it became necessary to take some steps to rebut their testimony, and a special corps of detectives have been nsslimert to Investigate the stories of the witnesses as quickly as their Identity Is disclosed. All the testimony thus far produced has been leading ud to what the prosecu tion declares was the motive for the crime 3nd with the beginning of today's session it was expected that . Assistant District Attorney Rand would begin to unfold the crucially Important feature of his case. Fall to Connect Them With Crime, ST. JOSEPH. Mo., Nov. 26.

Marshall-Wells team defeated that of Company C, Oregon National Guard, by the score of 12 to S. . The game was held in the Exposition building and was characterized principally by loose playing, and bundles of errors, but with occasional flashes of really good playing to relieve the monotdny. Company C had all the better of It up to the eighth Inning, when the score stood 8 to 5 In favor of the militia. In the last half of 'the eighth the hard ware boys apparently found themselves, for before the third man was out seven of the white-clothed boys had crossed the homeplate.

The freshman baseball squad played its first game this week, defeating the faculty nine In a seven-Inning contest by the score of 8 to 7. As this was the first practice of the season every man was given a chance and no teamwork was attempted. Several Port land men are trying for places, among these being Fenton, Koerner and McCol Ioch. Moody, of The Dalles, is also on the squad. This year marks the 'first Intercollegiate freshman baseball games with California which will be held at .Stanford In Febru-,-ary. This makes a position on the nine this year much more desirable thaa ever before.
