PUSHBALL Al III ARH ARD.
Ball is Six Feet High and Cost $500.
Newton Athletes Invented 1t.

CAMBRIDGE, Oct. 19. There's q new
game at Harvard. A good many OF the
student rathers laugh at il and turn up
their noses at the huge leather sphere
with which the game is played. This ball
Is n OF hing else than an overgrown foot
ball OF the Association" type, and
measures six feet in diameter. 1t 10 a
lum beriing affair, and those that see 1t
for the first time don't know what TO
make OF it,
tion asked as ii dawns on the view OF
the novice. Ii can be seen any afternoon
about 3 O'Clock on Soldiers Field, where
the foot ball team practices, and IT has
rightly caused good deal OF comment
as to what II was made for. On the first
appearance a great crowd gathered from
nowhere TO pat its rotundities and get the
general theft" of IL. AS il lies on Sol
dier's Field ii looks like some stray me-
teorite that has fallen on the football
grounds-perhaps as an emblem OF good
lu ok in battle. But Ii Is really rarer
object than meteorite; IL Is the only
ball OF its kind in existence;it is the first
creation of possibly very long line OF
future "pushballs, f" and it cost the start
ling sum of 500.
When one considers, however, that the
ordinary leather-covered football costs
about IS, and that this giant among them
is as carefully made -as they and several
nuuureu times Digger, tne price uOes not
seem SO surprising. The ball is filled with
ar and can be moved easily by one man,
but the game Is played with eight men
on a side.
The Newton Athletic Association has
the honor of inventing this new game,
which bids fair to rival foot ball in popu-
larity. The game Is played on field 166
feet wide ana 120 feet long, and marked
of like football field into fiNe-yard lines
SO that the general effect of 1t is the
same as a game Of football. The object
is TO advance the ball as far as possible
from the center of the field, where ii is
put into play. IL 1t is pushed over the
back line goal is scored. which counts
one point when time. is called.
In general, pushball reminds one of the
old days of foot ball, when the sphere was
battered, inch by inch, down the field, its
progress being punctured by first the
lineup, then the scrimmage, then some
body hurt, then tie lineup, and SO on
indefinitely. 1t is merely, rs its name
implies, a game of push, and brings into
play just the opposite set of muscles that
the abandoned tugs-of-war employed.
Eight men compose team. There is
a center rush, two guards, two tackles,
two ends, and a captain, who stands back
of the line, counts off the signals, and
acts as an emergency man, ready to
throw himself Under the advancing ball
in case.it passes the "thin red line" OF
his fellows.

Suddenly, though closely watching.
I lost sight OF my little friend! But be-

was astonished to see him away in the
potato field.

"How did ne do it?''
i went to the old log, and 10, 1t was mol

to me!
1 went into the potato field to drive
him out, intending TO sieze him toward
the end of the log, SO that he might get
out the same way he got in. Here he had
the best of me entirely. He either could
not or would not see the log, and main-
tanned such an air OF ignorance on that
point that had 10 give up thet task in

little, SO that both ends should be in the

A PLEASANT AFFAIR.
Successful Opening OF 10th Annual
Fair of BalIou Church.


Colonial Hall on Holden street last
night was changed into a bower of beauty
by the ladies of Ballou Universalist
Church, who held their tenth annual fair
there. The patronage was very generous,
there being a large attendance during
the whole evening and Governor Lippitt
as present and made one of his custo-
mary felicitous addresses.
The booths in the hall, which were the
paper, fancy articles, shell, flower, cake
and Sunday school, were all handsomely
decorated and the agreeable ladies in
charge OF them proved very successful in
disposing OF their wares. The entertain
ment OF last evening consisted Of piano
solos by Miss Ida Parsons aud other
musical mum bers as well as a very pref
~ drill by eight bright little girls.
The executive fair committee consists
OF Rev. James ID. Tillinghast, chairman; !;
Mrs. George Il. Aldrich. secretary; Mrs.
Harriet j. Baldwin, treasurer; Mrs. Carl
ton >. Hardenberg, Mr.. Charles ID. Tripp.
Mrs. Charles n. Ward, chairman; Charles
A. Wright, Miss Sara Clapp Miss Estelle
Fairbanks, Edward H. Gates. There
was strong evidence that these ladies and
gentlemen as well as all the other members
OF the church had worked hard for the
success OF their uEdertak ing.
This evening there will be cold meat
and an oyster supper served, singing by a
male quartet and drill. And one OF the
many attractions tomorrow evening will
be the drama, "Bolts and Bars by a
competent cast.
II is pleasant place to spend an evening.

STAMP COLLECTORS PROTEST.
Frequent Issues by South and Central
American Republics tho Trouble.

Frequent Issues by South and Central
American Republics tho Trouble.
In the securing Of supplies OF various
kinds by many OF the South and Central
American republics economy seems to be
one of the prime reqrisites.
In the matter OF securing postage stamps
for use at home and for the transmission
cd with the universal postal system these
republics seem to be. following "penny
wise, pound foolish" plan. The contracts
for the manufacture of these stamps, pos
tai cards and stamped wrappers are held
mainly by engraving firms in this coun-
try.
f. The arrangement between the govern
ments and the stamp manufacturers pro-
vides that stamps sufficient for the needs
of the government are TO he supplied free
OF cost. In return for this the engraver is
allowed TO retain the plates from which
the stamps are printed, and also to sell
to stamp dealers and collectors such
stamps as they may reed. This source of
revenue is sufficient TO yield a profit to
the engraver even greater than would re.
suit from his furnishing the entire issue
To the contracting government at fair
price.
In order TO keep things moving and pro-
vide for continuous source of revenue To
the engravers the changes in design of
single stamps or entire issues are frequent.
There are said &c be several million
philatelists in the world, divided among
all the civilized nations. As every col
lector desires 10 get complete assort-
ment OF stamps, the revenue derived from
their sale Is enormous. A regular Issue
ranges in price from the smallest cur
rency denomination TO one whose face
value approaches 81.
SOME ISSUES BIACKLIsTED.
The drain upon collectors to keep up
with the procession of new issues IL go
great that the associated philatelfc socie-
ties are attempting to discredit the more
recent ones. This movement was begun
In England, where the Society for the
SUPPRESSION OF Speculative Stamps was re-
Gently organized. The first move Of this
society was to blacklist several OF the as
sortmerts OF stamps recently turned out.
Circular were sent TO the various phila-
telic societies throughout the world urg-
ing them to boycott the alleged tainted
issues. l.
The matter was then taken up by the
Philatelic Society OF New York aud the
National Philstelic Society. also OF tnis
city They appointed special committees
to take joint action agnint ne evil These
committees consisted OF William Her.
