NAVY VICTORIOUS
West Point Defeated, 11 to 7, in the
- Big Game of 1900.
SPECTACUIAR ICKING CONTEST
Prince of Wales May Be Candidate
for America's Cup Honors.
SPORTS IN GENERAL
Amercan men. American women, Ameri
can students and American foot ball of the
best were the features of the great foot
ball contest at Franklin field, Philadelphia,
on Saturday, when the naval cadets of An
napolis reduced to sackcloth and ashes the
foot ball exponents of West Point Military
Academy by a score of U to 7.
It was a game of games, the game of the
season in popular interest, and one which
drew a crowd of 25,000 people to see the
result. Every city in the east, but especial
ly Washington, Baltimore, New York. Phil
adelphia, and the ancient city of Annapolis,
contributed its handsomest men and pret
tiest girls to make the afair Impressive.
Grouped in the north stand, opposite the
middle of -the field, was a mass of blue,
borne by prospective admirals and naval
heroes. In the south stand was an equally
impressive array of gray, borne by the fu
ture generals and military protectors. Ln
the sections with their respective protegEs
sat the notables of officialdom from this
city, accompanied by the prettiest of the
female members of their families dressed in
their most fetching costumes. Secretary of
War Root, General Miles, Captain Sigsbee,
General Sternberg, General Bates, General
Carpenter, Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Hackett, Rear Admiral Melville-all these
and others too numerous to mention. And
tne dignity of these great men did not deter
them from cheering like schoolboys at good
plays.
The contest itself was a success, both as
a foot ball contest and a spectacular exhi
bition for the crowd. The play was con
stantly interspersed with daring attempts
to kick goal from the field, beslaes the nu
merous occasions on which the side hav
ing the ball was forced to punt, because it
could not make the requisite five yards in
three downs.
In the first half Clark of West Point made
a goal from the field for the army. Long
made five unsuccessful attempts to per
form the same feat for the navy during the
same half, but it was not until the second
half that he managed to propel the pigskin
over the goal bar. Again and again the
respective fullbacks kicked long and far
for other points to be scored in the same
manner, but they failed. All of this was
a treat for the spectators, who could see
what was going on when the kicks were
tried, and vastly preferred such a style of
play to the regulation attacks on the ends
and line.
At scientific foot ball Annapo'is was
much superior to West Point, but her work
was marred by errors and misplays which
were costly. These errors were largely due
to the nervousness which the players felt
in taking part in a contest which to them
was of such vast Importance.
The rivals were about equal in their
strength in the line, and the ball constant
ly passed back and forth on kicks or
downs because the holder could not make
the requisite five yards. At times Annap
olis appeared somewhat the weaker by af
fording less protection than she should
have done to the kicker. At tackle for the
army Bunker and Farnsworth did great
work, in which they were nobly supported
by their captain, W. Smith, at left end.
After playing for fifteen minutes the navy
was put on the defensive and at her 21-yard
line Clark of West Point dropped back for a
kick from the 30-yard line. The effort was
a success, and the score was 5 to 0 in
favor of the army. A rapid exchange of
k!cks followed, and at one time the bai was
on the army's 2-yard line, but a fumble
saved the day.
In the second half, after much kicking
and occasional line and end gains by An
napolis, the ball was advanced to army's
1-yard line, where the undaunted Long
dropped back for his seventh attempt at
goal from the field. Success rewarded his
persistency, and the score was 5 to 5. .
After the kick-off the ball by punts and
runs was gradually worked to army's 10
yard line, where a trick play was sprung,
and Land went through a hole in the gray
line for a touchdown. Fowler kicked goal
and the score was 11 to 5. A blocked kick
on the middles' 10-yard line caused the
ball to go over the goal line, where Manley
fell on it to prevent a touchdown, although
it counted a safety and added two points
to the army score, making the total 11 to 7
in favor of the navy. After this play there
was continual punting and the game ended
with the ball in midfield. The line-up fol

NEW CUP' YACHT POSSIBLE.
Prince of Wale. Biding a Bloat to
Beat Shamaroek II.
A special to the Boston Herald from Glas
gow, Scotland, says that with the mixing
up of two cutter yachts one was much
botisered for the few weeks back as to
which was Sir Thomas Lipton's challenger.
The mystery has been solved, and it can
now be stated that the new bIg cutter sup
posed*'to be for the German emperor is for
the no less distinguished person the Prince
of Wales. This important piece of news
will cause an ghmense amount of interest,
for it is known that the prince wants to
help Sir Thomas out in every way, and he
will do all that he can in the direction of
aiding Sir Thomas in lifting the America's
cup.
When Lord Dunraven refused to fit out
the Valkyrie III, as a trial horse for the
Shamrock I, his royal highness soon after
put the Britannia in commission, and ae
had her raced against the Lipton chal
lenger. What the outoome will be should
the Prince of Wales' new ship beat what
is now intended to be the Shamrock II, is
a matter of much conjecture, but a swap
could be made, as eitlher cutter will surely
come within the terms of the conditions of
the match, as agreed upon for next August.
So, in case the royal yacht should prove
the faster one, it would be an easy matter
to name her the Shamrock II.
So much mystery and secrecy has sur
rounded Henderson's yard at Glasgow for
over a month that all the information which
came out of it was of a most doubtful
nature. It can now be stated that the Prince
of Wales' cutter will be built there, prob
ably of composite construction, while the
new challenger will be built of metal plat
ing in Denny's yard, Dunbarton. M.et there
should be an error mn the dimensions of the
Prince of Wales' yacht, positive instruc
tions have been given to Watson as to the
size of the vessel, It being specified -and
agreed to that Watson shall build to chal
lenger's size, so as to give the new chal
lenger the best trial horse for her tuning up
sailing. It may be that the princes yacht
'will cross to this side with the new cut
ter for the blue ribboa event of sports,
Whether she will be named the Britannia
II or the Shamrock II 'will be known after'
the pair have had it out in hard ransing,
Sir Thomas and a number of experts re
cently had the model and plans et ths
Shamrock I compaed with those of the
now supposed-tobeShamrock II, and the
experts were strngy of the oplatnion t
ute fater theShamee I,as tmr
ther, the itst in the tak at Dennfa
ar -rve this oenesidy. The Prince
of Waieaf beat wE have vy tog re
han=s= and she is different in demigs tsa
naaset'I, Er of the anr
n- posably, a rW. There is a
*a authenticated tr " 11a the rouno
that the Prince of will visit America
and witness the ngxt cOp racm. He cer
tainly wants to, and will do so If he can,
but the visit is unlikely, as for state rea
son being the olt herlto the -tbrone, hi
would hardly be able to leave the countr)
long enough to eable *s to attend the
cup races.
Sir Thomas. however, hopes that th
prince may find a favorable opportunity o)
making the trip to andy Hoo. Nevei
before in a race for the America's cup hai
royalty taken such an Interest. With hil
royal highness building especially to hell
Sir Thomas out, and giving the latter a1
possible asststance. the, interest in thl
queen's domain aniong h6t subjects will bi
greater than ever before.
It now looks as If Caot. Wrings would
sail the Shamrock II and that Capt. "Jack"
Carter. the former skipper of the Britannia
or Capt. Bevis, would have charge of the
prince's cutter.
IN CHESS CIRCLES.
The leading players of Germany and Aus
tria have organised a Masters' Chess Union,
intended to be international and embrace
the strictly first-clas players of the world
for the purpose of designating the competi
tors of international matches, etc.
Pillsbury lias notified the management ol
the Monte Carlo international tourney thal
he will not be able to work his engage
merts In this country so as to participate
In that contest. As Lasker and Maroczy,
now touring together, are also handicapped
in the same way, it is possible a postpone
mert may yet take place, although the au
thorities are trying to hold it down to,the
date set, February 1. The amount sei
apart for prizes, 20,000 francs, is to be di
minished by 6,000 francs as prizes for a
salta tourney, leaving but a little above
$2,500 in our money for the chess competi
tors-a very paltry amount divided up intc
even a few Drizes.
Pillsbury gave his blindfold seance againsi
the New York Checker Club under unto
ward circumstances. The rooms were Inad
equate for the crowd that piled In, crowd
ing the single player and contestants; those
who couldn't get near enough to see whal
was going on occupied the lower end of the
hall, engaged !n games on their own ac
count in a noisy manner, and to crown th
confusion and noise a band on a lowei
floor set itself to work vigorously. Pills
bury won two, lost four and drew the re
mainder.
In the twentieth century correspondence
tourney the lists have come up to 114 con
testants from the west and 105 from the
east. More are wanted. especially frorr
the east, as it was Intended to make this a
record breaker with 150 players a side.
A correspondence tourney on novel lines
has just closed in Vienna. The contestants
were unknown to each other until its close
Zinki took first prize. Tschigorin was sc
pleased with it that he is organizing a Rus.
stan tourney on tMfa same plan. Marco, thi
noted Austrian. player, is its author.
The championship of the Boston club Is
being contested for by E. E. Southard.
This peculiar gane comes from the lato
Bohemian tourney. Traxler plays whitf
against Samanek. In every move in th
game Black plays precisely the same mov(
as his opponent: 1, P-K4; 2, Kt-KB3; 3

The examples of the Two Knights'. De.
fense this week b'fnge on White's fourti
move. The variation, P-Q4, is chosen, th4
strongest line of play at his disposal. I
does not give a won game by any means
but gives Black plenty %f room to mak4
mistakes In and leaves room for a ver3
vigorous attack.

Ing which the reader will And very fully examined
in the German Handbuch.
t0) The move of Kt-KKt5 was formerly recom.
mended for the first player at this point. Modern
analysis shows. however. that the attack is has
ardous and superficial. The following is the line
of play-now adopted whea the knight is played ovel

file Is ali Important to him at this Juncture.
(e) This Is also well played.
(f To give freedom to his 'knight, which at pres
ent has no eseape.
(g) The oncoming of this second knight renders
White's game hopeless.
(h) He had- two or three other modes of ply, but
none which could long ward ogf the impedig nal
blow.
(I) This attempt to divert the attack might have
succeeded against a less wary and experienced op.
ponent, but Mr. Lasa knows too well the value of
a good p,osition ever to give It up while he can
possibly maintain his ground.
(k) By this move White gains a short-lived at
tack, but he has not force enough to sustain it
long.
(I) Better, perhaps, to have played K-BS. In
which case the following variation was a probable

the Benning meeting will end. So far the
meeting has been unusually successful and
the prospects are that this condition will
continue to the end. The program for this
week has been especially framed so that
all horses can secure some money. This
will bring out runners of good quality and
some that are poor. But the racing will not
be one-sided, however, and close contests
should be the order of the day.
There will be a general exodus of horse
men next Saturday to New Orleans and
San Francisco. although many will prob
ably stay to witness the inauguration of
the Chesapeake Beach track, the opening
of which has created considerable interest
among the followers of the runners.
Fine weather drew a big crowd to Ben
ning Saturday, and the racing was the best
of the meeting. Three of the finishes were
of the hair-raising sort. Three favorites
won. McMeekcin, Billy Barrick's high-class
three-year--old, made his first appearance at
Benning in the last race. He was an odds
on favorite, but Burns had to ride the lit
tle horse hard in the stretch to head off
Kinnikinic. The steeplechase was a chap
ter of accidents, five of the seven horses
going down or refusing before the race was
over. Two of the jockeys. Lynch. who rode
Silver Fox. and Adams, who was on Facie.
had ugly falls and both were badly shaken
up. It was thought Lynch was seriously
hurt, but he recovered.
