NEW FOOTBALL RULES.
A Plan Suggested to Prevent Teams From
Making Big Scores.


Making Big Scores.
NEW YORK, Oct. Sit is believed that the
day OF tremendous football scores by strong
teams against weak ones Is passed, and it is
also believed to be improbable that the
present season will see any record breaking
in that direction. The reason for this will
be found in the new rule adopted by the
Intercollegiate Football Association. Up to
this year the failure to kick goal from a
touchdown. the side whose goal had been
attacked could only bring the ball out to its
25-yard line and play was resumed there.
THIS, of course, gave the team hard pressed
but little relief, as the contest was still
carried on in dangerous proximity to its
goal. This year, however, upon such failure
TO kick goal the ball goes to the middle OF
the field as at the beginning of the game. As
the opposing team must lire up ten yards
from the center line, this not only relieves
the hard pressed defenders, but gives them
the advantage of that ten Yards
The only other change of Importance is
the abolishfng of the play known as the
punt out" after q touchdown for position
from which to try for a goal. This play has
fallen into disuse in late wears ana its
elimination will not affect tine game.
The three clubs most likely to be oin at
the death" are Yale, Harvard and Princeton.
Yale has started out poorly, but she has q
habit, it is said, of "keeping something up
her sleeve" and at the end of the season,
thanks to superior coaching and con-
scientious work, is the same old Yale"

A GRIPMAN's STATEMENT.

Severe Throat, Chest and Stomach Trouble,
Resulting From Exposure While Hand-
ling the Grip on Cable Cars, Cured by
Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers.
While other specialists may reproduce
'stock" testimonials or refer you to stock
references, Drs. Copeland. Hall and Byers
come to the front every week with fresh
testimonials, so numerous that the space
given them in the papers is crowded to the
utmost to contain them. What can lie moro
convincing than the statements given to-
day, for instance? Here is Mr.. Z. E. Mears.
OF Munhall, Pa, who has been a gripman on
cable cars for the past few years. The eI-
posure to the severe and chilling wind,
which constantly strike gripman in tho

The depression which was central north
of the Lake regions this morning has become
less clearly defined and now extends along
the Atlantic coast from Virginia to Maine.
The area of high pressure has become more
extended and now covers the region from
the Atlantic States westward to the Rocky
mountains, the pressure being greatest in
Nebraska. Over this region th Q winds are
northerly and it is colder. The shifting Of
the winds to the north have been attended
by light showers from New England to the
East Gulf States.
The weather is fair throughout the Central
valleys and Upper Lake region, and the
temperature is rising in the extreme North
west. Showers are likely to occur on the
Atlantic coast tonight. probably followed
by cooler, fair weather Sunday and Monday,
the temperature rising slowly during Mon
day. Warmer fair weather is indicated TO
the Northwest on Sunday.

Doubt
The contest was won by the home play
ers, and for about five or six innings it was
q good one. Both Terry and Luby were
pitching great ball, but after the sixth
inning Luby was sized up and the game be-
came one-sided.
Terry pitched splendidly from beginning
to end of the game, and without doubt in
his present form he Is the best pitcher in
the country to-day. The big hitters among
the Colts copld not touch him, and in the
thill inning he performed wonderfully.
There was a man on second snd another on

and he sacrificed the two men each base

and PARROT, and was cheeied by the little
and shivering crowd OF spectators

In the third inning Farrell led off with
single and Van Haltren got his base on
balls. Miller forcel Van Haltren out at

inning, after two men were out, Beckley
made single and scored on Smiths three
bagger to right.
In the second half of the inning Decker
got his base on balls Luby and Schriver

Many Patients and Others Speak in
Grateful Terms Of Drs. Cops-

Charges---A Prominent Manufac-
turer Speaks Out Straight From
the Shoulder---Read To-
Days Testim mails.

The article concerning the gross over
charges and absurdly enormous fees charged
by most specialists, which was published by
Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers last week,
has crea ted widespread comment and CON-
mendation by that portion OF the public
directly interested. Numerous persons
have called and written to them stating
how many dollars they had paid out to
high.prfccd doctors without receiving any
benefit, while with an expenditure OF $40 or
SIS with Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byer they
had been entirely CURED.
Said prominent manufacturer who IL
noted for his kind and humane character: T

you doctors are doing in this community in
placing skillful treatment within the reach
Of persons OF limited means. know OF sew
eral instances where men in our employ
have been benefited, and know OF u GER

lieye.
"In my own case" continued this gentle
man. II have paid out over sl00 without re-
eeivinR the least benef1t. and can safely
say, with the few weeks treatment have
received at your hands, already notice an
appreciable chang in my condition. hope
you doctors WILL be spared many years to
devote your lives to the amelioration Of the
ills of suffering humanity. You arc surely
doing as you claim, a noble work and good
which cannot be computed by dollars and
cents" .'t
Words of encouragement like the above
amply repay Drs. Copeland. Hall and Byers
for all the hard work and vexations which

Matched to Bun at Exposition Park.
What promises to be one Of the most i'm
portant foot races that has taken place in
this State was arranged yesterday to take
place at Exposition Park on October p.
Joseph Courtney and Peter Priddy signed

and the loser Is per cent. Courtney's Dack-
ers forwarded the articles to Prtddy yester-
day and the latter at once signed them
Negotiations have been going on
for some time between the two men relative
to match. Priddy wanted to run three
miles and the EnRlishman held out for two o
miles. Finally the PittsDurger agreed to
the two miles, providing Courtney would
run in rtttsburg and pay his own expenses.

Courtney is the English pedestrian who
has been winning so many races in ENGLAND

here was not publicly known until two or
three weeks ago His hackers have lots OF
confidence in him.

les about the Englishman and they think
the latter can be beaten by Priddy. The

LONDON, Ocs. .-[CpvrtohG ]-Nothing has
so CALLED and irritated English sporting
blood in long time as the defeat of the
British crew in the boat race on the Seine
the other day. There was absolute con-
adence in an easy victory over the French
men. The result will be wholesome sti1nu-
lus to that form of athletics at least in Eng
land. With almost no branch in which she
can claim supremacy in international sports,
England is beginning to suspect that her
physical superiority is not what she has long
boasted.
There is great deal of public satisfaction
over the fate which has befallen Slugger
Charlie Mitchell. He was admitted to bail
to-day pending his appeal from the sentence
or two months hard labor for ono Of the
most cowardly assaults on record. He was
fifty described TO the magistrate by the
police as one of the most dangerous men in
London, and there Is little doubt that the
sentence will be confirmed.
When bail was offered for Mitchell late
this afternoon the second surety was not
acceptable to the police and the great
pugilist remains in Jail. His friends urge
him to serve his sentence without appeal,
as 1t is sure to be affirmed. He would then
be under the necessity of spending the mid
winter in durance, u much more 1nconven-
iens period considering his music hall en-
gagements.

The first Association game Of football
played in this vicinity took place yesterday
afternoon at Williamsburg between the Will
kfnsburg team and the Jeannettes. Over q
thousand people turned out to see the game
and it was very interesting from start to
finish, though It was evident that the jean
netres were not to proficient as the wilkins
burgs. The Atw ell Brothers did goou work
for the Wilkinsburgs and the playing Of
Childs. Boyoe and Peterrnan was superb.
With any other team the Jeannettes might
have stood = better chance OF winning, but,
though they played good game, their op-
ponents were too strong. The forwards OF
the Wilkinsburgs will make it interesting
for all the other teams Of the Western Penn
sylvania League. The score yesterday at
the call of time stood to in favor of Will
kinsburg. The teams lined up as follows:
Wilkinsburgs-Goal, j. Atwell; full backs,
7. Atwell and J. Atwell; half backs, j. f.
Boyce, Peterson and Chflds; forwards,
Proudfoot, Cunningham, Jones (center),
