for what was lacking lu quantity.

Pkscali A. A.
For tint first time In three years the
l'lioenix A. A. was beaten on Baturday on
their owu grounds by tlie locol team by
the score of 6 to 0. The game was for
the championship of Eastern Pennsylva-nia,
the fiercest ever played at Phoeolx-vllle:
and Coushohoekeii won by simply
playing superior foot-ball. Phoenix was
never in the gnme and twli a Conahohooken
fo d the ball Inalda the live yard Hue
Once (hey wen1 held lor four downs, but
the second time linnibo pushed through
for n touchdown and Bulger kicked tlie
goal.
Consholioeken played a strong aggrosivo
game from the start. During the whole of
the first half It was a close game, ending
with no score for either team.
Coushobockeu kicked off and Plneuix
with determined rushes and end plays
steadily pushed the bull down the Held It
began to look as if Plnenlx would score,
but Consholioeken braced up after ten
minutes of pluy and worked the ball back
through their owu territory and with an
accompaniment of the frantic cheering ot
the Consholioeken rooters who small in
number but vociferous of lungs, Consho-inn-
ken got the ball to the live yard line of
1'luciiix's goal. A touchdown seemed cer-tain,
but Plneuix braced up and held Con-shohoekeii
for downs getting the bnll. It
was immediat ly kicked out of danger.
The plays then fluctuated from one side
of the Held to another until the end of the
half neither side scoring.
Custer was laid out shortly after the
Opening of lhe play lu tackling George
Davis Ills head was badly gashed hut
ho refused to retire and kept on playing
the most brilliant kind of foot ball
In the second half Phoenix seemed not
■o strong as In the first half but Conaho-hoi'ken
was as frisky and strong as ever
and played all around their opjioueuts.
The score should have bean 18 to 0, In-stead
of 0 to 0.
One of the brilliant plays of tic gume
was when Carter with the bull broke
through the team and stn -ted with a ideal
Held for a touchdown, but stumbled over
a Conshohocken player wh.i was assisting
him, and fell to the ground.
Crawford ny a brilliant end play gained
thirty yards before being downed shortly
after this.
By a brilliant run H. Shaw miule a
touchdown, but as he ran out of bounds It
was not allowed.
W. Shaw in center covered himself with
glory, frequently breaking through the
team and one time tackling u Phoenix
back for a loss of 5 yards.
The whole team played great ball: it
was not individual brilliant playing, but It
was the team work of the whole eleven,
one backing up lhe other In grand style
and the whole going together with clock-work
precision.
It was a clean game There was uo
roughness or scrapping. All dnulslons
were satisfactory and the players of the
home team weie treated with every couit-eey
|H>sslble.
The teams lined up as follows:

The Newest New Woman

It Is announced that Mrs. W. W. Cran-nell,
of Albany, N. V., tlie agent of the
New York State Association opposed to
the suffrage to woman, has been sent to
South Dakota, to speak and work against
thl pending amendment to grant equal
suffrage to the women of that State. A
pamphlet just published by the Anti Suff-rage
Association says: "There are still
women enough left outside of the clique
of female agitators, who believe that
woman can always do her beet work at

best work ut home, why does the Antl-
Suffrago Association send Mrs. Ciaiueh
to conduct a political campaign hundreds
