death of student of the State University
through the roughness Of the game. Four
men have been killed at football uis
season, in various teams. and more than
dozen seriously injured; and the argu-
nients agalnst the game are consequently
louder than ever.
OF course, game in which a man plays
with thorough understanding OF the risks
Incurred, and IN which he engages simply
for the fun of the thing, and not for his
livelihood. is notopen to the same objection
as steer plecbasinE, when the rider not
only risks his own neck but that of his
horse, who has no choice in the matter.
If boys afe 10 subordinate mental to phy-
sical training in college life, some such
game as football, Involving the utmost
exertion and most extreme risks, il doubt
less naJura, result. And after all, 1t is
not more brutal TO he spraining ones own
ankles ;.nG breaking ones own ribs, than
IL is to be getting into college rows and
hazing innocent freshmen, who are no!
allowed to hit back, or to he waltzing
arout metropolitan towns in places where
sef-resp peeting youths ought NOT to be.
II there is Sc much animal vigor in boy
that he cannot let 1t all out in ehe old
fashlopee game Of football, in baseball, or
in other Gylnnastic performances which
win not n.aim him for life, by all means
let him smash himself and his equals rather
than somebody else.
The whole trouble seems to be, not
with the game, bat the way it IS pIa yed.
The OLD Rugby game was rough aud some
what dangerous; coilaT-boncs were ovca
sionally broScn, and ankles sprained, bat
there was no such wholesale Indictment
against it as there IS against the game
of the last decade. The old game was
played in a Wey which did not require
defensive armor, nor was its list OF killed
and wounded apDaiIng. There was, how
ever. probably as much exercise and as
much fan as could be crammed in.o the
time and far more science and general
ship. The game OF the present days is
simply a big fight between twenty-five
young gladiators.
But the change VIII have to come through
the sentiment of the players themselves.
Brains VIII have 70 be respected as well
a. muscle. quick nerves as Wen as tough
muscles; skinfu play as wen as pound
ing and clawing, and ear-chewing and hu-
man pyramids. No boy can do much in
the way o' scientific play when the whole
team o. players are piled ia a struggling,
kicking mass oil top of him. Football has
many advantages as a sport, and some
OF its good points are unequaIed 5y any
other game, but it should be played by
boys, and not by buffaloes.

A vagahond song.

There is something in the autumn that
is native to my blood -
Touch of manner, hint Of mood;
And my heart is like a rhyme,
With the yellow and the. purple and the
crimson keeping time.
The scarlet Of the NAPLES can shake me
like a cry
Or bugles going by.
And my lonely spirit thrills
To see the frosty asteys like smoke upon
the bills.
There is something in October sets the
gypsy blood astir;
We must rise and follow her,
When FROM every hill of flame
She calls, and calls each vagabond by

and police telegraph, knocked the revolver
from the woman's hand.
This stirring scene. which narrowly
missed being a tragedy, occurred in the
Liberty Restaurant, 33S Bush street,
yesterday at about 5:15 P. NJ. The man
who owes his life TO poor aim is Paul
TiIlaux, designer. living at 405 Kearny
street. The chief actor, Mrs. Mary Cor
den. lives at 1857 Ellis street, and claims
to be a hairdresser by occupation.
At the time mentioned Tillaux was sit
ting at table eating. The woman sud-
denly made her appearance and, using
the words quoted, fired the shot while
standing only two feet away from the OBJ
ject of her vengeance. How she missed
him is miracle.
AS the woman was about to shoot the
second time Wall, who was standing near
the doorway and had rushed in on hear
ing the explosion, struck the revolver
from the angry woman's hand with an
ordinary pair of pliers, the kind US in
his vocation for cutting wires. He then
grasped the woman by the wrist and
stai ted with her for the California street
Police station.
A crowd of about 800 strong had COL
lected by this time and followed the
woman and her captor. Several of the
bolder spirits began to make remarks
about Wall not wearing a uniform, and
one even grabbed him by the coat, when
Wall turned and knocked him down with
a well-directed blow. At this the crowd
grew so threatening in its demeanor that
the arrival Of Policeman Gruenwald, on
Kearny, between Bush and Pine, was a
lucky circumstance. The two II en- reached
the station with their prisoner in good
condition.
She was then taken to the Central
police station and booked on the charge
of assault to murder. The revolver was
booked as evidence. Tillaux has been SUBJ
penaed as witness. He will say no more
about the woman than he can get out of,
but admits that he has known her for
some time, and lately has tried 10 avoid
her.
TiIlaux was arrested about six months
ago on the woman's complaint that he
was trying to poison her, and brought be-
fore Police Judge Campbell. He was
acquitted. The woman, who is evidently
demented, claims she was driven to the
act by desperation, that Tiliaux has tried
to poison her for long, even lying in
wait in Railways to shoot opium and
chloroform on her.
She SAYS she went with the designer for
some time. until about year ago in fact,
at which time she went to Los Angeles.
Immediately alter returning here SIZE had
him arrested.
She claims that Tillaux sprinkles chlo-
reform over her while she is asleep
shoots opium into her shoulder, and that
ne has her otherwise under his control so
that she is irresponsible for anything she
does. She says her shoulder is punclured
with wounds from hypodermic syringe
at his hands, but the police say the woman
is a cocaine ''fiend' herself. Shs has
been married twice, according to her own
statement. and has young daughte by
her first husband, who is dead. She saws

WATER FOR OCEAN VIEW.

Spring Valley Water Company Asked
to Put Down Mains on the Streets.
Ocean View wants fresh water for domes-
tic use and it is going to have 1t Il
persistent agitating will accomplish any
thing. The district known as Ocean View
has all the elements OF climate and geo.
graphical surroundings to make it q
favorite locality TO live in. The streets
are broad and level with natural fall fol-
sewerage. The ocean breeze brings an
invigorating and thealthiu. cheerfulness
into the entire valley not to be found in
any other part of San Francisco, and yet,
with all this, tie people there are suffer
ing for the want of fresh water.
Time and again has the Ocean View
Improvement Club petitioned the Spring
Valley Water Company to lay mains on
the streets that have been macadamized.
Those streets are: Lake View avenue.
Thrift, Montana, Minerva. Lobos, Faral-
lones, Broad, Sadowa, Sycamore. Ply
mouth, Capital, Orlzaba, Bright, Head,
Victoria, Ramsell, Arch, Vernon, Raj
ston, Bixbee, Monticello and Thornton.
All of them are in condition to receive
the mains of the water company.
At the meeting of the improvement lub
last Tuesday night motion was passed
requesting the company to at least put
mains on Capital eet from Broad street
TO Lobos avenue; also on Sickles street
from Mission road to San Jose avenue,
along Broad street and down San Jose
avenue to Hearst street. This motion was
on the principle that half a loaf is better
than no bread. The request to lay mains
on all graded streets was also carried. but
fearing that the company would not COM
ply with such a sweeping benefit at one
time the lesser request was mildly asked
for.
A. Desban. who was temporary chair.
man at the meeting, instructed Secretary
M. Il. Taylor to communicate with the
Spring Valley Company, notifying it OF
the action of the club and at the same
time add a rider TO the communication to
the effect that if immediate relief is not
forthcoming petition will be forwarded
to the Supervisors asking for relief.
