L. A. W. ELECTION.
Twelve Se«tUctt«a Whs I'm 4 the
Stllett* mm the Ostet.
Seattle wheelmen are awaiting with a
great deal of Interest the decision of the
L. A. W. officials at Boston in the elec
tion Just held in this state.
The Taroma contingent up to the last
moment at least, refused to take part In
the Boston ele -non, and held one of their
own, under a local constitution adopted
there. It now remaina for the national au
thorities to say which election wa* legal.
Seattle's nominees a week ago refused to
attow their names to be used in the Ta
cotna election; the erstwhile frien lly con
test between the two cities for the head
quarters having degenerated, for the mo
ment at least. Into a bitter personal can
vas. The candidates on the Seattle ticket
tneref' re declined to go Into this kind of
a struggle.
It developed that Tacoma. with the aid
of one Seattle wheelman, had obtained
one dozen proxies from Seattle members
to be used against Seattle, in Tacoma. The
1«0 other members are wondertng wh/ the
do*en did it. Some say it was owing to
personal pique of one disappointed candi
date before the nominating convention;
other* are in the dark, and want the X
rays put on five or six suspects.
A partial defense and explanation of
the action of the "doxen" appeared In a
weekly paper published tn Seattle, in
which also appeared a eulogy of Ta
coma's nominees for the principal offices.
The proxies, however, went to Ti,-oma
ten days before any conference for a fair
division of th* offices between the two ci
ties Uok place, and were evidently meint
for use in the election held from Boston,
for in the Tacom:t election the Australian
ballot system was tn use, and our "ltttli
doaen" could have aielded their stilettos
In a large dark room in whatever fashion
they pleased. They evidently had not th-i
moral courage to "knife" their own city
over thetr individual signatures, so sent
the Job over to Tacoma. Who were the
naughty boys, and why did they act so?
One hundred and forty Seattle wheelmen
are anxiously awaiting a solution of the
problem.
8. A. C. Pants and Paaaea.
Hotcomb has dls< arded his crutches
and started to work again at the gym
nasium last Tuesday night. He found
numerous candidates' competing for his
position, and "Charlie" concluded It was
time to begin practice In earnest agatn-
Efforts have been made to secure a
game for next Saturday with Vashon
College or Puget Sound University, but
it has been Impossible to make any ar
rangement for a game, as these two
teams are trying to arrange a game with
one another for that day.
The team will practice Hguinst the
high school *vtty day next w«k and up
till Thanksgiving, and when they line
up against the Y M O. A. they will have
had sufficient practice to avoid nearly all
danger of auch a number of accidents
aus were had In the university game.
Harder and better football practice has
been had this week than at any other
time this season. 1 apt. YVhittren has
had the men out at the field to practice
against the high sch»H>l several after
noon*. snd nightly practice ha.** been had
at the gymnasium, the result of which
i#> becoming very noticeable in the way
the men play.
Jim O'lKmnell and Nettleton are play
in* left and right tackle respectively, and
are showing up very well "Jim's" abil
ity in well known and Nettleton. though
new to the position, is very reliable and
can be depended upon to do good work.
Means and Cowen are also candidate"
for tackle positions and Intend keeping
"Jim" and "Net" hustling to hold their
places.
At the game between the Y M. C. A.
and Puget Sound University last Satur
day it was noticed that most of the 8.
A C. team were Interested spectator*,
watching every play with Interest, each
man noticing how his particular oppon
ent in the coming big game played his
position. It showed how deep an inter
est is being tak.»n in the Thanksgiving
game, and the determination of each atde
that they will do all In their power to
win. The university and S A. C. will
have another game some time in Decem
ber.
The most noticeable Improvement has
been made by the backs and ends, the
center men and ta<-kl»s not having had
quite so much coaching The quarter
back work is much better. Eskridce i»
under the disadvantage of having but re
cently recovered from a serious illness
He is very quick at passing and gets onto
the interference well Brlnker is too val
uable a man at end to change htm to
any other position. In case of accidents,
however, he Is practicing quarter also
and with him and Esk ridge the filling of
quarter-back position ought not to cause
any uneasiness.

The first fame of basket ball In the
aeries to he played by teams made up
from members of the Y. M. C. A. belong
ing to different churches wUi take place
this evening at the association gymna
sium at *ls o'ckKk. The contestants will
be the United Presbyterians and. St.
Mark's. The former are the champion*
and the latter desire to be. Under the
new rules each team is allowed to play*
only five men. and the officials are ex
pected to watch closely for any signs of
roughness The originators of the gam''
have been working to the point of for
mulating the ruies so that the players
throughout the country will come tc real
l*e that It is science. Instead of rough
ness. that constitutes the beauty of the
game.
At the T. M C. A.. Prof. Gr£en. the
new physical instructor, has been labor
ing to change the style of play. By this
is me»nt that he wants clean, clever
work from the men. If he can get that
he will necessarily do away with rough
ness. It is not to be presumed that the
T. M. C. A. players are given to rough
ness any more than the 8. A. C. or the
U. of W. The fact remains, however,
that the Y. M C. A. and the other teams
have, in the best, played a rough and
ready game. The change in the system
of play will make Itself evident this ev
ening. and. for that reason alone, the
game will have added interest.
The United Presbyterians will play W.
and A. Eatng as goal throwers. Johnston
will be at center, and Capt. M Bruiist
and A. Bruhst will be at guard. Caih
cart is the only substitute on the list.
This team is very strong in ail depart
ments of play, and if the St. Mark's boys
win on: they may feel proud of tnelr vic
tory. The make-up of the St. Mark's
team compr;ses Capt. Felton at center.
Phillips and Wright as guards, and Har
low as goal thrower. The name of the
filth man could not be ascertained. There
is excellent material in this team, but it
remains to be seen how effective Its work
will be against the well organised cham
pions. In addition to the basket ball game
there will be a match at double hand ball,
and an exhibition of class work by some
of Prof. Green's younger pupils.
The Seattle Basket Ball League has se
cured Turnverein hall, corner of Jefferson
street and Fourth avenue, and it is prob
able that a majority of the games will be
played there. The hall is claimed to be
Just the right size, with five men on a
team, and the electric light aervlce could
not be surpassed. The S. A. C. and Y. M.
C. A. would like to play every game there,
but the U. of W. objects, on the ground
that it would be put st a disadvantage.
The gymnasium at the university is large,
so much so, in fact, that five men would
be insufficient to till up a team. It is pos
sible. however, tnat the space obstacle can
be overcome by placing the baskets at
the sides of the gymnasium.
Tha interest In football is working
against the Si>eedy development of a
strong basket ball team at the university.
Capt. Palmer thinks that he will be able
to get his men to practicing before the
coming vacation. This will give him a
good line on what he can expert of the
nen. so that , when school commences
again no time vIU be lost In perfecting
team work and trick plays.
As usual. Dr. George B. McCulioch is
the great man in basket ball at the S. A.
C. If the memV>er« of the club showed the
same enthusiasm and activity in ail
branches otf athletics that the doctor does
in his favorite game, the blue diamond
would make Rome howl on all occasions.
It is probable that rhe S. A. C. team will
be somewhat lighter than last year, but
this is not an Indication that its playing
ability will be decreased. As far as goal
throwing i* concerned, however. It will be
almost impossible to All the place of
Charlie Turner. He was by all odds the
greatest goal thrower in Seattle, and his
memory is still fresh in the minds of all
basket ball enthusiasts.
1; is said that Prof. Green is having
success at the Y. M. C. A. in eradicating
roughness. He is weli acquainted with
rhe originator of the game, and has
watched its development closely.
One of the best players in the city said
last evening: "I would not return to the
old style of play under any consideration.
I will confess that it is pretty hard for
me to do away with the rushing style, but
the more I curb myself and go in for
clean, scientific work, the more my inter
est in the game Increases. Until we play
scientific basket ball we will not get the
benefits and pleasure that are possible to
be obtained."

No man acquainted with the record of
Col. J. H. McLaughlin as a collar-and-el
bow wrestler would question that he .8 the
officially recognized champion of the
■work!. Few men. whether Informed on the
subject or not, would care to question It
in the colonel's hearing. For the colonel

is getting along in years now, but is still
good enough to give the best of them a

spirit, and the ex-wrestler feels young St

At least it looks like a diamond—the

Another belt la in Co!. M-Laughlin's pos
session. It has no s.ver buckle, nor dia
mond It la the plain belt o4 a Confeder

warmer than any wrestling match in the
champion's history. At the battle of
Hatcher's R>in this belt was tak*n from the
prostrate, bleeding form of a Confederals
officer and it was at this same battle that
Col. McLaughlin led a charge which In a
greater battle would have he»n exploited
In history. He *i« but a boy when the

the war. A division of Sheridan's cavalry
under <len. Gresg was moving between
Petersburg and the Potomac. The exact

Gen. I>*vey was orders on a two day a'

fads had ma-hd from the heavy timber
» A DEEP cut LAW *A OPSA BIWKIW
and the soldiers had dismounted to make
coffee, when the enemy was discovered
closing in on all aidei*. Kach side of the
cut was covered by battalions of Infantry
on the r"se above and the Confederates
were rapidly bringing up their artillery.
In front, the only avenue of escape, were
two heavy lines of infantry. The brigade
was trapped. A scattering tire was kept
up on the line In front and it was during
this sharpshooting that young McLaugh
lin noticed a Confederate colonel who
semed to have marked him out for a
corpse. The man in gray was so persist
ent in singling out McLaughlin with his
aim thai one of the young man's comrades
remarked on It. "iMok out, Jim." he said,
"that man is trying to kill you." Mc-
Laughlin had noticed it. He covered the
officer carefully and flred. It was a telling
shot. The Confederate threw up his hands
and fell among his comrades.
Gen. I>avey now saw the only possibil
ity of esc ape was to spike three cannon
being iimbered for action and called for a
forlorn hope to cut through the lines in
front. The officers all hesitated. The
charge meant certain death. McLaughlin
was then a brevet major, young and ambi
tious, He was only 21 years of age. While
the others hesitated he stepped forward
and said simply, "I*ll go." Beventy-flv«
picked men followed him. With flashing
sabres they spurred their horsea across
the open, under a galling flre on either
flank and cut through the opposing col
umn. In the open beyond, after spiking
the cannon, they reformed and plunged
back again through that murderous
rain of bullets back over the bleeding
