PHILADELPHIA, November 27.?Tho
stago la sill set for to-morrow's big
game, perhaps tho premier football
event of cnch succeeding autumn.
Twenty-two young gladiators, tho
cream of Undo Sam's coming army and
navy commandcrB, are housed In their
hotels to-night awaiting tho call to
battle at Franklin Field.
Society from New York, from Wash
ington, from Boston, and even from
far-off Chicago, is Hocking into Phila
delphia to-niglit to be on hand when
the referee's whistle put tho ball in
play.
Prmldent Will lie Absent.
For once the cadets and middies will
have to flght their football battle with
out the eye of the President of the
United States upon them, but there will
be present in tiiu slUo line boxes prac
tically all the rest of oillclal Wash
ington, with Secretary of War Garri
son and Secretary of tho Navy Daniels
lending the oihcial family by right of
football precedence.
President Wilson's decision not to
attend is in line with his plan not to
uttend any social functions this sea
son, owing to the death of Mrs. Wil
son.
livery army officer who carj get away
from his garrison or department duties,
and every wearer of epaulets In Uncle
Sam's navy who Is not needed somo
where else, will be In tho reviewing
stands. Both the Military Academy at
West Point ami the Naval Academy at
Annapolis will be represented by stu
dent battalions. Noncoins and privates
from both branches of the service will
also ho in the stands, along with nearly
30,000 other American football enthu
siasts, who are expected to tax tho
facilities of Franklin Field, temporary
stands included, to the utmost.
Teama In Shape.
Of tho teams themselves it nood only
be said that tho coaches of both squads
contend their men are In tiptop shapo
to nut up a battle worthy of all the
traditions of this football derby.
The Army squad was first on tho
field of pracfje this morning, and ran
through a b. isk signal drill. In this
practice Coach Daly handed out a few
?surprises, for while he "eft tho line
Intact, he shifted the backfleld mate
rially. Vanfleet was at right half
back, while Benedict, the regular full
back, was replaced by Coflln. Captain
Prlchard was sent in at quarter, and
\ tho nimble Hodpson at left half. The
line was composed of Neyland, left
ond; Butler, left tacltlo; Meaohan, left
guard; McEwan, centre: O'Hara, right
guard; Weyand, right tackle, and
Merrill, right end.
Thlrty-SLv Middle* Practice.
Tho Navy took possession of tho field
? when the Army hnd finished, thirty
Bix midshipmen making possibto the
formation uf three squads. The first
team line-up Included soveral shifts,
and Its work was closely watched by
Coaches Howard, Vaughan and Olcott.
Weight seems^ito btv what the Navy
coaches are ainrlng at: and with this In
view, Mltchdfi, Vlie 171-pound quarter,
probably will recall the faster, but
fighter. Miles. BIk Blodgett will hold
lifs regular berth at left half, but Craig
will be replaced at right half by Fail
ing. The greatest surprise of all.
however, will be tho substitution of
Bates for tho veteran T. Harrison at
lull back.
The line also was chanced by the
substitution of Mills Tor Graf at left
guard, whilo Dcithode was given the
right tackle position after a grilling
battle against AVard for the place.
Captain Overesch will he at his old left
imd position, with McCoach at left
tackle, Perry will hold his Job at
centre, and li. H. Jones, ri^ht guard,
and H. Harrison, riuht end, also are
considered sure to start.
Army u ti to -1 Kniorl<e.
There is some little betting about
the hotels to-night, with the Army a
r> to -I favorite. There is also consid
erable excitement over the promiso of
Ktlrrlng times at th? ticket wickets
when holders of pasteboards known to
have been purchased of speculators has
been In effect for several days, and it
is reported that detectives have ob
tained and turned over to the ticket
committee the numbers of '.tvery ticket
wold by the brokers. For all these
tickets duplicates have been printed,
and the plan is to turn every holder
of an Irregularly purchased ticket
away, without a refund or any other
form of redress except to get his money
back from the scalper?if hu can.
Among other things that are pro
viding much food for conversation on
this feature Is the belief that the ticket
takers will have their hands more than
full referring to their lists as each
numbered ticket is presented, to make
sure It Is not on*? of thos<; to be re
fused. .lust J?ow the new plan will
work out no outsider will forecast, but
it is noticeable that the scalpers to
night are asking, and getting, $20 a
piece for the choice seats and not less
than $10 for any sort of ticket.

CHICAGO, November 27.:?Federal
League magnates promise to explode a
bomb when they hold their annual
meeting In this city to-morrow.
To-night they claim they will make
announcements concerning the signing
of National and American League play
era that will he a big surpri.se to tho
'.baseball public and otllclals of organ
ized baseball.
President Gllmore refused to-day to
say what Important business would be
transacted other than the framing of
tho 1915 schedule. However, Charles
'Wceghinan, owner of the local team,
was morn talkative. He asserts that
some of the big stars of baseball have
been signed to Federal League con
tracts, and promises to make known
the names of the players immediately
after tho meeting.
Weeghman says that he alone has
signed six major league players, and
they will perform for Joe Tinker.
However, "VVceghnian rcfhscS to give
tho names of tne players signed. Hip
Hagorman, pitcher, formerly with tho
Naps, Is the only player he announces
as a Federal League certainty.
President Gllmoru stated to-day that
there would be no change in the clr
i cult for 1915, despite" the fact that
i Kansas City was u bad member of tho
I 1914 circuit. Gllmore asserts that
Kansas City will bo retained, and that
| all talk of the transfer of that fran
chise is without foundation.
Cleveland was wanted by the Fcd
! eral League magnates, but capitalists
| there, after securing an option on a
I site for a park, refused to back a Fed
eral League club. Tho Cleveland men
claim the proposition did not appeal to
them.
There seems to bo a mix-up over the
pignlng of a manager for the Brooklyn
club next season. A few days ago Lee
I Magee, formerly with tho St. Louis
I Cardinals, was announced as the
Brooklyn manager.
I To-day President Oilmore denied
that Mageo had been given the man
I agerlal position. He said that Artie
j Ilofmnn would very likely pilot tho
I Brooklyn Federals next season. Owner
Ward, of tho Brooklyn team, will ar

! PHILLIE'S PRESIDENT TAKES
SHOT AT CHARLIE MURPHY
PHILADELPHIA, PA., 'November 27.
?\V. 1". linker, president and principal]
| owner of the Phillies, took n sharp rap 1
i at Charley Murphy, former owner of
; tho Chicago Cubs, to-day, and Issued i
! ofllcial denial of Murphy's statement
; that the latter owned an interest In ]
the Phillies. President Baker was at ,
I the Phillies' headquarters In this city i
I to-day and talked freely of Murphy's j
"ravings."
! President Baker explained the busl
ness transactions regarding the. sale of 1
tho Phillies stock, which Murphy used I
as an excuse to claim that he might
take over the Phillies and represent
the club at the annual meeting in New
i York next month.
Mr. Baker said: "Murphy never
I owned a share, of the I'hllltos club
stock, and Governor Toner is not a j
stockholder. The Governor helped |
Will Locke to swing, the ileal, but that I
I was before Toner was elected presl- I
dent.
"In negotiating for the purchase of
the club wo dealt entirely with Charles i
P. Tit ft, who owned practically all the .
stock. We paid a large sum in cash, !
with the balance In notes, which we |
have met with regular payments at the ,
| required time. You may say that a
I few of these notes remain ?ln Taft's |
I hands, and that they will be taken up
when they full due. We already have
paid nearly $200,000 to Taft, and at no ,
I time have seen or heard from Murphy.
I "It is true that Mury.hy and Mr. Taft
own the Philadelphia ball park, which
I the club has leased for a long time.
| But that does not alter the fact that
Murphy Is in no way interested in the
I club s affairs, if ho holds our notes
? wo do not know It.
I "1 Intend to call the attention of 'the
I National League to tols matter for the)
I purpose of stopping Murphy for all

PRACTICE OF SEASON
Squad Ready to Rattle Against Ran
dolph-Macon at Rroad Street
Park This Afternoon.
GAME STARTS AT 8 O'CLOCK
Change of Time Made to Give Rusi
nesd Men an Opportunity to At
tend?Fund for Ranquet Secured.
Student Rody Supporting Team.
Amid scencs the like of whtch likely
hav? never been surpassed, or even
equalled, at any othdr local Institu
tion. tlio Richmond v. dlege football
team held Its final practice yeBterday
afternoon on the stadium gridiron. In
the wind-up of the season's prepara
tion looking forward to the game with
Randolph-Macon, at the Broad Street
Park this afternoon. The varsity as
sembled on the field a little after 3
o'clock, and after a short talk by Coach
Dobson, started In on their signal drill.
It was evident from the start that tho
team was imbued with a different spirit
from that displayed at any practice
heretofore this season. Every play
er was full of fight apd tho plays went
oiT with smashing force.
At 4:30 yesterday afternoon the Spid
er etudent body came running on the
field, making tho air ring with their
yells and shouts. Then followed the
best exhibition of rooting and singing
that has been seen this year at the
college. As the team finished up Its
j work, the students grew even stronger
i In their demonstrations. When Coach
| Dobson gavethe word to stop practice,
! tho students rushed on tho field and
I carried the whole team oft tho field. It
J was a magnificent display of collego
spirit.
A number of alumni were out' to
watch the practice, among which were
former Captain Henry Taylor, and Ash
by Cartor, both of whom are former
vurslty men.
I,ast night after Biipper tho students
gathered In the college auditorium and
held the largest and most successful
| rally of the season. Many speeches
were made, and all of them were In a
vein calculated to make tho team put
up the game of their lives this after
noon. No one seemed to bo at all
overly, confident. Instead, there was
evident a spirit of rock bottom confi
dence in one thing?"tho Spldor team,
and student body as well, will fight
their hardest every minute."
One notable feature at this rally was
the successful raising of tho necessary
cash needed to hold tho first banquet,
which is to bo tendered to tho varsity
squad to-night in one of the prominent
hotels off the city.
There has been long felt the want of
some such function with which to close
the season. Such affairs are given tho
majority of the big college elevens.
Letters, telegrams and messages have
boon pouring In at, tho collego from
old graduates and alumni, who have
been following the team's progress
closely, and who. aro looking to tho
Spiders to uphold tiio honor of tho
college.
For many of tho boys tho game to
day will bo tho last time tney will
jver wear tho red and blue on tho
gridiron, and they have resolved to
make it the best they have over had
Tho tlmo of tho gamo has been
shifted to 3 o'clock instead of 2:30,
since it has been found that It will be
more convenient for the business men.
who will likely form a largo part of
the spectators.
The game to-day will probab?y bo
the climax of an unusually brilliant
set of games that Richmond pcoplo
have seen this Bcason.
Both teams aro strong on tho open
style of play, and a rep roflclont In tho
use' of tho new methods of football.
This makes tlic contest more Interest
*Roth teams have several plays in
1 which they make uso of. and one or
rnoro variations of a shift, and so this
phase of tho play will be watched
with interest.
i Jack Dobson yesterday received a let
ter from Conch Bernlor at Hampden
Sldney, in rcsponoo to one wrltton by
j
the local director In reference to play
ing off the tie that Is bound to result
whichever way the game goes ihls
afternoon. In hie letter. Coach Dor- J
nler stated that It would be Impos
sible for thoin to play much as they
mlgh wish to for two reasony: first,
because the examinations begin at
llampden-Sldney December 7: second,
because the Hainpden-Stdna v team has
already used up Its full allowance of
absence from the catfipus.
Kurthormrvo, It wan rumored yes
terday on go?jd authority that If the
Spiders win the game this afternoon,
the llampden-Sldney representative In
the Intercollegiate executive committee
will move to rescind the former action
of the committee In ri-gard to the for
feited game and so give the local col
lege the standing In the league that
they would then be properly entitled
to.
