ST. LOUIS TEAM
ST LOl It?. November 27.?Carlisle won
ft hard-fought game, from St. I>vuis T'nivei.sity
yesterday by a score of 17 to o.
The Indians were forced to uncover their
best tricks to break through the stubborn
defense of the St. lx>uis linemen.
Throughout the first half St. I?uis
flayed good foot bali, anil several times
the Indians were forced to give up the
ball when within the shadow of the goal
posts. Harry Lindsay. formerly all.Amerioari
tackle on the Dartmouth tedm.
was a tower of strength in the St. Louis
line.
In the first part of the second half Carlisle
played the St. *Louis men oft their
feet. Line plays and brilliant forward
passes gave two touchdowns, and then
the visitors went on the defensive. Three
times St. Louis hail chances to score by
goals from the field, but all the attempts
failed.

WKST POINT. N. Y.. November 27.?
_\s the time diminishes before the ArmyNavy
game the enthusiasm at the academy
continues to increase, and last night
a big mass meeting was held by the corps
of cadets in the gymnasium. This is the
lirst time in the history of the game at
"West Point that a foot ball mass meeting
was ever held prior to a game. All
the coaches were present, and. following
Head Coach N. M. Nelly's speech, each
gave a short talk to the team and to tHe
assembled cadets, and until call to quarters
sounded the academy rang with the
army yells and songs.
While the Navy is reported here to be
tie- favorite in the coming* contest, the
Army lads feel thai they have just as
good a team. There is no prediction as
to the outcome, but the Army followers
know their team is in condition to put up

the scales at 17??. which is five pounds
lighter than when he faced Slingluff last
yea r.
The corps of cadets heretofore have
gathered in the barrack yard and cheered
the team as they departed for the scene
of the great battle, but this- year they
have been granted the special privilege
of escorting the team to the train in a

RACING AT BRIGHTWOOD.
J
Local Horsemen Enjoy a Rare Day's
Sport With the Speedy Ones .
Every mother's son of the membership
of the Brightwood Driving <*lub. It
seemed, passed the holiday at the trackcide
yesterday afternpoti, when an tincommonly
good lot of local horses were
put through their paces. It was a fair
afternoon for the sport, and the membership
was never more largely represented.
Many ladies were In the gathering,
and at no stage did enthusiasm
get beyond a highly decorous state on
the part of those present.
All the local cracks among the standard
breds were lined up before the starter In
1 he opening eyent, a handicap, run in
half-mile heats, best three in five. It
was a grand success. The handicapping
had been done last Sunday morning by
three prominent local horsemen?Messrs.
Henry f'opperthite, J. Hllleary and
Thomas P. Baldwin. Edna G.. the property
of Mr. Getzendenner. was the winner.
That good old horse Sir Eiectroid
was piloted to second place by Prank
Thomas, and Mr. Elgin's Robin Hood
(a trotter) drew the third prize. The
big surprise of the day occurred in this
race, when the Javins Bros.' Robin Hood
(a pacert drew the fourth position, and
the "worthy president of the club.*' Mr.
John Javins. and his brother Prank came
in for a deal of congratulation. The
fact is their Robin Hood has for a lon'g
time back been the "family horse" in the
Javins stab e; was raced without preliminary
training) and was hitched to a
sulky after having carted the Javinses to
the race track. "You never can tell,"
e.iaruiaiea an oiu-nnie memner of the
Brightwood club, as he was watching this
ladies' roadster receiving attention from
the "swipes" after the last heat. The
time by heats was 1.19, 1.17V*. 1.16, 1.18.
There was a match race on the club's
card, too, between Harry Height's Happy
Steve and Edward Girton's Ben E., in
which Happy Steve "put it over" his opponent.
The time was 1.15 and l.ltftfe.
There were two races for runners on
the program, but owing to early darkness
only the live furlong dash was given.
This was called a "novelty" race, and
was run off in two heats, the winner of
the first retiring to the stable after capturing
first prize. Belle of the Bay, owned
by Mr. Bartlett, an added starter, got
off with the gorg and was never headed.
Aqueduct, the property of Mr. Moore,
was the winner of the next heat. The
other starters were Katherine M., owned
by Mr. Mulligan, and Utile S.. from
the stable of Mr. Skinner. The jockeys all
sported the colors, according to the
rubrics of racing, and the scene was in
itself a novel one for the club members,
used as they are to seeing the standard
hreds making circuits of the famous
old court*.
The meeting was excellently conducted.
Thomas J\ Baldwin was the starter, and

Through. Placement Kick ;
on 15-Yard Line.
A goal irom placement on the 1,1-yard I r
, line decided one of the most grueling con-'
| tests ever seen In this city between the|.
Engineers and Fort Monroe teams yesterday
afternoon at Union League Park !
when Nicholson, for tiie Engineers, sue- J
cessfnlly placed the pigskin over the bars.
The final score was 4 to 0. f
It was an even battle throughout, with t
both teams showing that tliey knew the v
i new game. It was so closely fought that 1
; neither team was able to score a touch- t
down, although at different times in the ,,
contest both teams had the ball on the t
5-yard line. The Engineers reached this 11
point once In each naif, while the Monroe I]
boys got it there near the close of the
game.
The Engineers outplayed their oppo- u
ncnts in the llrst half, but weakened in I ^
the second, and whenever they received
their ball in the latter part of the game
could riot make substantial gains. The
game was devoid of tiny long or sensa- s
tlonal runs, but the tackling of a few of 0
the players was as good as could be seen o
anywhere. Practically every one of the j
tacklers left his feet and made a good {
flying play to bring the runner to earth \
with a thud. u
The Engineers scored their goal after r
rushing the ball on line plunges from the j
center of the Held to the 15-yard line. v
Nicholson, who had sprained his ankle r
early in the contest, was called to try for ?
the goal. He dropped back, and as Sultan \
held the pigskin booted it over the posts, t

CAMBRIDGE. November Zt.?Ernest ^
Ver Welbe's wonderful work as full- j t
back on Harvard's foot ball eleven, !
which defeated Vale last Saturday, has 1?
been recognized by President Roose- I
velt. who has written a letter to Ver 1 "t
Weibe congratulating him. The letter j
Is as follows: ! 'j
"Elke every other Harvard man. I ^
have the heartiest treling'of gratitude y
to the bntire team which won the great If
victory on Saturday last. But I feel f
an especial self-gratitude toward you. i
It w as through you more than any one ! 'r
else that the ball was put in a position j,
to enable Kennard to do the work , <j
which h?- did so admirably, and to kick r
the goal from the field.
"For the good of the team your i [
individual good was sacrificed. and
through this sacrifice and through the i
admirable work you had already done, i
and through Kennard's tine kick, a vie- j
tory was won. However, it was a first- j
rate example of the interest of an individual
being subordinated to the good
of the team?there cannot be any bet- j
ter lesson for our national life than to e
teach that the good of the individual ! t
must be subordinated for the good of v
the people. I |
"Now I have the heartiest admiration j *
for Kennard's feat. He kicked the goal ' 1
and did a service that no one else could t
have done and too much praise cannot t
be given him: but >ou are entitle 1 to .
every white as much, and every man I
have met iicre feels just the way 1 tlo.
"I wish J could thank personally i
every man on the eleven, from Burr -c
down, and Houghton and Graves, and
everybody who has done anything for
the eleven, including substitutes and
tbe second eleven." j

han was his opponent.
Onee, in an aggressive moment, they
ell in the ringside and toppled through

fas a left to the stomach that sent Papke
o the ropes at this juncture.
In falling Papke seized his opponent and
he force of his rush carried them clear

tie spectators. A hundred willing hands j
issisted them to the center and in a mo- J
nent they were grappling In a clinch.
Ketchel All the Way.
Ketciiel was a victor throughout. His
ippearance during the early rounds did
iot tend to encourage those who had
jacked him at odds of 10 to 7 and 10 to
, but liis awkward delivery of blows i
eemed to lull 'Papke into a false sense
if security. In his first round Ketchel
Irove Papke into u neutral corner, laming
right iind left almost at will, and
hereatter the Illinois contender was always
at a disadvantage. Stepping aside
it critical junctuK's Ketchel swung his
Iglit tim< and again tiush upon his op(onent's

with left drives to the body. In the lifth

0 the jaw. Before, in the fourth round, |
1 light tap on the nos/f had brought blood i
rom Papke that started the crowd yelling
or the Michigander.
It was in the seventh that Ketchel used
lis right to 1 lit* greatest advantage. Pap- !
:e\s only hope lay in ihis disposition loj
lineh, but he was hit twice, and hot n [
>lows tended to lessen his recuperative
>ower.
Ketchel Held Back.
From this on the crowd awaited the
mockout punch that Ketchel was aplarently
withholding. In the ninth Papke
vas sent tottering across the ring and
tearly went to Ills knees by a powertul
(low delivered in a cllnoh. He arose to
neet Ketchel's right, which twice landed
in the jaw. Papke went to his corner
deeding freely from the nose. This was
lie beginning of the end. In the followug
round Papke twice turned his back on
Cctchel's swift assaults and deliberately
an away.
In the eleventh and final round Ketchel
ame up as fresh and strong as at any
ime during the tigiht. He tapped Papke
ightlv on the jaw, and then rushed him
ialf way across the ring, planting two
ard rights to the stomafli. A moment
atcr. as they broke out of a clinch,
Cetchel swung the left at three-quarters
pngth, landing squarely on bhe point ot
he chin. Papke struck at lull length,
ds head rapping the floor with terrible
orce. He had just enough strength to
egain liis feet, and while he crovi hed in
n attitude half protected Ketchel sent
lis riftht to the head four times in quick
uecession and almost pushed Papke over
gitli a left hook. I'apke dropped and
ell forward 011 his knees, his hands sup>orting
him and his head bowed, as if in
.gony. Referee Jack Welsh counted
leven, as did also the timekeeper, and
hen. advancing toward Ketchel, threw
ho Michigan fighter's glove aloft. Papke,
tiH dazed, seemed not to realize his deeat.
Papke Not Satisfied.
Papke said after the tight: "I am not
atisfied with the outcome. 1 want a
eturn fight. I dicf not hear the count,
heard the referee say "six," and then he
topped. I would have been able" to coninue
the fight, as I was not hurt and
vas recovering fast. 1 want a return
natch."
Ketchel said: "1 anticipated this reiult
long before 1 entered the ring and
>arked my opinion with my own money,
'apke's victory in the south was an aoeilent.
I'nder proper conditions I am will,
ng to fight him again."
The betting was seriously affected prior
o the tigiit by rumors of Ketchel's faliire
to get in proper condition. The beting,
with Papke favorite at odds of 10 to
V>, dropped to 10 to t> because of this
uinor.

Lampliere, charged with arson and tlie ' t
murder of Mrs. Belle Gunness and her:
three children by setting tire to the Gun- | |
neSs house April 'M, was last evening v
found guilty of arson by the jury which j]
had the case under consideration for
twenty-four hours. i e
Within live minutes alter the verdict ; j1
was reported Judge Rlchter sentenced the , '[
defendant to the state peniteniary at j i,
Michigan City for an indeterminate term, I <1
from two to twenty-one years. He will be f
taken to Michigan City today to begin |
his sentence. b
Word that an agreement had been
reached was conveyed to Bailiff Matz at <
dusk, and he telephoned Judge Kichter
and the attorneys in the case. The lights
in the big courtroom were turned on, and ,i
within fifteen minutes the court was
packed. Lamphere was brought over from ] $
the jail ami the jury filed into the court- *
room. ''
Jury Returns Verdict. t,
Foreman Henry Mill announced thai the a
jury had agreed, and he passed a piece j
of white paper to Judge Ricluer, who, ^
after making the entry on his docket,
read the verdict: t
"We. the Jury, find the defendant guilty l
of arson, and that lie is thirty-eight years ,.
old."
Attorney Worden, for the defense, last
night said that a motion for a new trial C
would he made. and. should It be refused, t
an appeal to the Indiana supreme court
would follow. Mr. Worden declared the
verdict to be ridiculous. "If he was J
guilty at all." said the attorney, "lie was j *
guilty of murder. He should have been j
acquitted." 4
The motion for a new trial will be based
on the court's instruction telling the #
'jurors that they could find Lampliere
guilty of arson under the indictment.
I*amphere in a statement says lie is
confident that the dead body in the tire
was that of Mrs. Gunness. although hisj?
counsel had tried to prove otherwise. He d
reiterated his Innocence of setting lire to a
the house, though admitting he was on e
the road and saw the fire that niglit. He
also declares he did not see Mrs. Gunness
kill Andrew Helgelein.

looked pretty blue, but the verdict might j t
have been worse." j ^
l.ast night all the members of the jury r
made the fo'lowing sighed statement: a
"We. the undersigned Jurors, impaneled
and sworn in the ease of the state of In- 0
diana versus Ray Lamphere. hereby say ii
that it was our judgment in tlie oonsideru- j *
tlon of this case that the adult body found | a
in the ru ns of the fire was tlmt of Belle I ri
dimness, and that the case was decided v
by us (Ii an entirely different proposi- 1
tion."
But for Jurors Nelson and Travis, the j
jury would have sentenced I>amphere to
life imprisonment, and after the verdict
had been returned one of the jurors said h
that they would have found Bumphere >
guilty of manslaughter had they remeni- v
bered that the sentence for that could be
made the same as for arson.
The Indiana law stipulates that all pr s- | w
oners, excepting those found guilty of c
murder, sha 1 go to the state reformatory w
if they are under thirty years of age. r
This explains the last clause of the jury's r
verdict, and amounts to a prison sen- b
tence.

| ing* worse,'* he says, "and the bureau is
' ' now seriously handicapped in its work by
j ! the lack of officers for engineering duty,
c and also by the lack of experience of
s some of the officers wlw have been so
2 assigned. It is recognized that the limit'
ed number of officers available for the
general duties of the line is responsible
for this condition, but engineering in the
navy has now reached such a point thuf
two things must be done: (1) for tempo!
rarv relief, at least twenty ocer.e of the
j grades of lieutenant commander and lieutenant
should be ordered at once to shore
duty connected with tills bureau, and (2)
a fixed policy should he adopted of assigning
permanently a certain number of
officers to engineering duty only, such asd|signnient
to begin upon entering the list
j of lieutenants, and officers so assigned to
*. perform shore duty only, after reaching
the g.ade of commander.
'Many Problems to Be Solved.
"There is a vast field for Improvement
- In the administration of the huge machinery
instal ations in the United States
i Navy; there are many problems of ef
ticiency and economy which can be solved,
notably coal and oil consumption; the
^ reduction of expense of a ship coming to
t a navy yard for repairs; by a closer and
better supervision of machinery details,
and which can be gained by a high, r
and better skilled technical knowledge,
and. lastly, greater economy in navy yard
management. The opportunities for im'
provements in the field above mentioned
can be obtained only by a more extend- d
e performance of engineering duty by offi
cers bdlow the rank of commander of
the branch to which engineering belongs.
f* viz., the line. Especially must some action
*" be taken In the administration and peril
formance of those shore duties required .
by law In the execution of engineering
contracts for machinery of new vessels
^ under construction, f.or the large volume
s of repair work at our navy yards, and
- for the inspection of material.
For Greater Efficiency.
"It is and always has been the opinion *
of this bureau that the greatest efficiency
t results when the officers who design our
machinery are also the ones wh'i super(
intend its construction on shore and.
I later, its operation at sea, for thus only
, ! can they acquire that familiarity with the
s I needs of the service which suggests at
a j once the things to avoid, as well as those . .
s to adopt. And I believe that if this svstem
is not fully carried out there will
be deficiency in that branch ill which
such a system is lacking."
Work at the Navy Yard.
e Rear Admiral Barton says tiiat the
I total expenditures for engineering work
, at the Washington navy yard during
- the past year aggregated S-fh.OUl, most of
I which was for labor. The machinery
9 of the following-named vessels was rc- ,
II paired at that yard during the year:
- i Mayflower. Dolphin. Choctaw, Oneida,
s i Puritan, Sylph, Triton and Tecumseii.
