RULE IS OVERLOOKED | Few Coaches Take Advantage of Touchback Play. Kicking From Regular Formation Is Ground Gainer and Possiblilities of Booting Seen In Chicago- Illinois Game. While a rule has been enacted which ellows the team upon which a touch- back has been scored to put the ball in play on the 26-yard line either by kick or scrimmage, few coaches are taking advantage of the ruling. In the great majority of cases the captain elects to punt from the regular kickoff formation. The defensive team lines up in receiving formation and players of the kicking side can be checked as soon as the ball has gone ten yards. In this manner the man who catches the oval has many op- portunities of bringing it back at least half the distance of the kick and mometimes a great deal farther. As the center of the defensive eleven may stand upon the 25-yard line, the kicker must boot the ball from some point at least five yards back of the restraining line. Consequently he gen- erally boots the oval from the 18 or 20 yard mark, writes Walter H. Ecker- | sall in the Chicago Tribune. The only advantage which a team has which kicks from such formations is that the | players are onside and have the right to recover the ball at any time except | ‘when it is kicked out of bounds before | being touched by a player of either | slde. In order to take all advantage pos- sible, a team, if the captain elects to punt, should follow the regular punt | formation. Then players of the kick- | er's side cannot be interfered with until the ball has gone 20 yards. Un- der such conditions they have a great- er advantage than if they went down | under a punt from the kick-off forma- tion. A booter kicking from the regu- lar formation practically sends the oval away on its flight from the same spot as does the team which kicks without assuming the secrimmage punt formation. He is afforded better pro- tection, has vacant spots in the field to kick to, and it gives his team a bet- ter chance of recovering the ball aside from preventing the receiving backs from running the ball back any con- siderable distance. To the average follower of football the importance of this ruling does not have much weight, but if the altera- tion is given thorough attention and consideration the benefits of kicking from a scrimmage punt formation soon will be realized. Coach Stagg of the University of Chicago has taken ndvantage of the ruling and has ob- tained the desired results in every contest. A team which constantly is being pressed and is having touchbacks scored on it frequently should take ad- vantage of this ruling, especially when the opposing eleven has the advantage of a strong wind. A booter when kick- Ing in the teeth of a wind should al- ways try to kick the ball out of bounds as far down the field as pos- sible, and his attempts always should be of the law drive variety. In the games played this year, es- pecially in the western conference col- leges, the keen judgment of the kick- ers in placing their attempts and get- ting their kicks away th faultless fash- lon has been one of the most impor- tant factors in deciding contests. Un- der the present rules an eleven can- not hope for success unless kickers are developed who can be depended upon absolutely to get their kicks away, even in the face of adverse con- ditions, and who can drive the ball to deserted parts of the gridiron. YALE PLANS BASEBALL CAGE Graduate Committee Figures on Mod- ern Bullding to Cost $40,000— Contains Other Features. Yale's long-deferred project of a modern baseball cage has been brought close to fulfillment by the graduate committee which is assist- ing Captain Dick Merritt plan. for next season's campaign. Plans have been drawn and are now in the hands of a committee, to whom they were referred by Walter Camp, Yale's graduate adviser. They call for a brick building 140 by 110 feet and 16 feet high, with a tower about 90 feet square surmounting the structure. The cage will stand in the rear of the new Carnegie swimming pool and will cost about $40,000. The expense will be met by subscriptions from alumni. The building will contain, besides its baseball equipment, a running track and places for high and broad jumping.

RUGBY IS POPULAR AT PENN Many Exponents of Game Found at University of Pennsylvania— Good Team Promised. Rugby football will find many ex- ponents in the University of Penn- sylvania this season. The game was started there last season and at first created much amusement among the students, who were surprised by the strange “scrum” formation. Only a few games were played, but they showed that among Pennsylvanians there were a number of idle basket- ball players and track men who went into the game with enthusiasm and proved to be too strong for opponents of far more experience. There were, moreover, numerous foreigners among the students who were overjoyed at the chance of playing a familiar game. Of those who reported for Rugby last year, more than half were English, ‘This year the interest in the game has developed enormously. Eight of last year’s team are still in college, while 30 new men reported the other day in answer to the call for candi- dates. McGrath Sets Hammer Mark. Matt McGrath, the glant welght thrower, formerly of the New York A. C., made a new world’s record with the sixteen-pound hammer the other day at Celtic park. He sent the mis- sile 187 feet 4 inches, exactly three feet farther than the previous mark, made by John Flanagan more than two years ago at New Haven. There was a strong wind blowing at the time, and whether this will militate against the acceptance of the new mark can only be determined by the record committee of the A. A, U. $30,000 for Billy Burke. George H. Estabrook the other day sold Spanish Queen, 2:04%, to Isa- dore Schlesinger of Vienna, Austria. Emil Jacobson, acting for Messrs. Neidi and Bruckman of Vienna, offered Lon McDonald $30,000 for Billy Burke, McDonald refused it promptly. Jacob- son then asked if $40,000 would buy him, but McDonald declined to say. Mr. Pardee has priced Sterling Me- Kinley to the foreigners at $10.000. Christy Plays Chess. ‘While the Giants were in Pittsburgh one evening Pitcher Christy Mathew- son played eight checker games simul- taneously with the best experts of Smoketown. Matty won two games, lost one and tied five; quite a feat for a mere athlete engaged in' competi- tion with the most intellectlal giants of the Smoky City.

The poor house will be overflowing by | spring if we take in everybody who comes to town: As a matter of fact those folks over -there probably are treated too good. Good many of them are just old soaks.” Investigation Being Made. In hig talk to the council Mr. Di- caire said he understood that inmates were fed meat only once a day. Alderman S. C. Bailey, chairman of the poor committee, suggested that the poor committee make a personal investigation and this was agreed- to, the other members of the committee being Aldermen Brown and Moberg. Today the committee made a trip to the poor farm, taking Mr. Dicaire along, he had said that he would be glad to go and that he Wwished the most searching investigation of the telephone episode. The poor commit- tee is to report at the next meeting of the council, a week from last night.” AN ECCENTRIC BUTCHER. His Bills Were Queer, and So Were His Eating and Praying. In 1729 there died at Romford. in Essex, England, a well known butcher of thut town named Wilson. Mr. Wil- son, It appears, was uotable tor bis in tegrity in business and for the gen tleness of his manners two-qualities which, perhaps. would scarcely have entitled bim to the notice of posterity had be not also exhibited a remarkable addiction to psalmody, extraordinary proficiency in penmanship and a high- Iy vecnliar manner of eating bis din- er. Such butcher's bills as he sent to his customers had never been seen hefore and bave never been seen since. Tbey were all exquisitely written by his own band. but the top line would -be. perbaps, in German text, the second in Roman letters, slmulating the tinest print: beef would be In one style of writing, mutton in anotber, lamb io a third. while each of these kinds of meat would be still further distinguish- €d by a different color of ink. He was 4 great friend to the church, observing all its ordinances and a tri fle more. Every Sunday he entertain- ed the congregation with a solo, sing- ing the psaims Ly bimself until the minister came into the desk. And on every fast day. while all the rest of the congregation went home to their refreshment - and rest. between morn- ing and evening service. he never quittéd the church., but went about from pew to pew repeating the Lord's Prayer and singing appropriate psalms until he bhad performed these favorite devotions in every pew in the church. He had a large appetite and seemed determined that all Romford should know it; for. instead of sitting down quietly to dinner in his back parlor, he would usually sally forth into the street with a leg or shoulder of lamb in one hand. a large knife In the oth- er. a small loaf of bread In his pocket and a bhandful of salt in the bend of the arm which carried the joint; and [||shake it while it gets another scant thus equipped would perambulate the town, eating as he went, until he had consumed the whole of this very sub- stantial meal.—Chambers’ Journal. WRIGGLING SIGNS. How the Movable: Effect Is Obtained In Electrical Designs. A great many electric signs are of the moving type. Walk down most any city street after dark and you will see many illuminated signs of novel and interesting design. Here a long red and blue snake seems to be wiggling from the street to the top of a building. On the other side a wheel is rapidly revolving, below it yellow smoke is issuing in clouds from a huge brown cigar. There is also a large theater sign which suddenly flashes into view. only to disappear after an interval long enough to read it It is quite puzzling to the ordinary pedestrian to explain the wonderful light effects. It is apparent that the light 1s obtained from electricity, but this is about all that is understood. In such signs as where a snake seems to be wriggling along, a cat chases a rat, words that spell themseives letter by letter and in all other similar signs the effect is produced by a mechanical device called a “flasher,” which lights the tiny electric sign lamps in the or- der required to produce the effect. Tkis fiasher is driven by a tiny motor. ‘The flasher is made up of a number of fingers, and each finger drops In its turn upon a metal plate that is elec- trically connected with a certain letter or gerfes of letters, or, in the case of the snake or rat chasers, with certain bulbs. The flagher is driven rapidly, and in this way- the snake can be speeded around its course very. swift- ly. Where the only effect desired Is a sign in which one letter is flluminated at a time the flasher becomes a much simpler device, but in all cases the un- derlying principle is the same.—New York Tribune.

Times are not especially good Just now, and I do not think they will improve this year. I am not, however, making this reduction ‘as a philan- thropic movement. It will be a good business investment for me to retain all of my tenants, if possible.

I do not wish my tenants to move. 1 know them and am familiar with their ways. I am acquainted with their needs, de- mands and methods of paying their rents. If they should move I should have to try to replace them with new tenants, whose desirability I have not tested. Besides, I should have to spend large sums in repapering, painting and arranging these various properties to suit the pew temants. By reducing rents | shall bave a delighted lot of tenants, who would not leave me if they could. Furthermore, I will make it impossible for them to find as good places elsewhere for the money. Nat- urally, baving had their rents reduced. they will not ask for any repairs that can possibly be avolded, and 1 shall save some money in that direction, over previous years. Besides, 1 shall know "the exact amount of reduction and shall be able to estimate my re- sources accordingly.” If, on the con- trary, 1 let many of my tenants move out the amount of my losses would be uncertain. You will find, it you com- pare my rentals at the end of the year with those of similar properties own- ed by other persons who make no re- ductlons, that mine 1s a profitable plan. When times improve we can release at advanced figures, and undoubtedly to the same tenants.’ “The bookkeeper learned a lesson in finance, the leases were drawn ac- cordingly, and Astor did not lose a tenant.”—New: York Press.
