CLEAN FOOTBALL.

At the opening of the football season this
year little rough play was observed. and much
praise was bestowed upon the various teams
for their evident desire to do the best they
could in manly and honorable rivalry, without
''slugging" or any form of brutality. 1t is to
be regretted that within the last few days the
'berserker rage" has so heated some of the
combatants that they have lost their self-control
and indulged not only in fisticuffs but in efforts
to cause serious injury 10 their adversaries.
Football as 1t has been played in the United
States for the last score or more OF years, and
for generations in Great Britain, Is no game for
weaklings. Only the sturdiest, the most stall
wart and the stoutest hearted should engage in
1t. Hard heads which will stand many knock,
lungs that will not weaken under the severest
strains, bones and joints, tendons and muscles
that will not give way when the tug Of war is
fiercest. and courage that will not quail in any
extremity are alone fitted for the battles in
which a few yards of gain or loss for the pig
skin mean so much. Football. now has IA great
army OF devoted followers all over the United
States far larger army than ever before. In
the autumn months II has no rival in popularity
among the amateur sports which arouse the
liveliest discussion and enlist the most fervent
loyalty on the part of players and spectators
alike Even when the contests are fought out
by players OF the choicest quality there must
inevitably be many rude knocks and countless
bruises. with now and then a more serious
injury. But blows with fists and purposeful
attempts 10 cripple an opponent should be
punished with rigorous penalties.
Fight hard. oh, long haired rugged and grlmy
foenen OF the goalsi But always fight fairly!
No unmanly tricks, prizerng "knockOuts," ="
no effort 70 give the surgeons employment, after
The rigor OF the game, by all means young
gentlemen; but never degrade yourselves by
despicable tactics. Clean football, always and
everywhere, should be the rule and practice.

4 CHANCE FOR Mr.. SHEPARD.

One of Tammany's latest campaign devices Is
2 widely distributed poster declaring that the
progress OF the tunnel work is largely due 10
the efforts OF Mr.. Edward NJ. Shepard, counsel
10 the commission. and that "a vote for Low is
a vote 10 delay rapid transit" The Tammany
candidate for Mayor strongly disapproves of
Mr.. Lows candidacy for the same office, and
has solemnly condemned some of his appeals 10
the voters, while appearing 10 be entirely salts
fed with the methods OF conducting his own
campaign. Perhaps Mr. Shepard. who must be
perfectly familiar with the history OF the under
ground railroad enterprise, will embrace an
early opportunity TO rebuke his managers, pub
licly and empharically. for their impudence in
generally attributing its present forward con-
dition to Tammany and for this particular
falsehood about Mr.. Low. 1t would at least be
pleasant to think that Mr.. Shepard is capable
of saving something out OF the wreck OF his
reputation. He knows that Mr.. Low was one
of the original Rapid Transit Commissioners
designated in the act of 1894, and that officially
and privately he has been an effective advocate
of the scheme now under way. Ii might be
somewhat embarrassing for him TO disavow
and denounce the placards which grossly mis-
represent his old friend, but We should suppose
he would find it still more embarrassing 10 say
nothing on the subject in the speeches which he
elaborates carefully.
Mr.. Shepard also knows that for years, and
until il became afraid OF continuing 10 oppose
an undertaking which il could no longer block.
Tammany was sometimes an Open sometimes
steathy, but always a persistent foe of rapid
transit No fact in municipal history is better
established than that. Even during the fore
part of the present administration Mayor Van
Wyck, who had never attended meeting of
the commission. of which he is a member, took
every chance TO signify his own and the organi-
Zation's hostility; and a still stronger pressure
of public opinion than that which reduced the
Mayor 10 grudging silence was needed 10 pro
cure the Corporation CounseTs signature TO the
form OF contract
Not one particle Of gratitude for the building
OF the tunnel roads is due 10 Tammany Hall
from the people Of New-York, who by an i'm
mense majority at the election Of 1894 ordered
the work 10 be done on public account or
course. IL is thoroughly characteristic of Tam
many 10 claim the praise for an improvement
which II exhausted all It's resources 10 prevent
as it would formerly have been characteristic OF
Mr.. Edward NJ. Shepard 10 tell the truth about
the matter.

DEVERY DEFIANT.

II Mr.. Shepard has really in his heart cher
ished any doubts about Devery, and actually
felt that necessity for further light and iu-
dicial examination which he professed. what
must be his sensations as he studies Deyery's
outbreak OF yesterday defying anybody to re-
move him Mr. Shepard a few days ago conf
IDENTIFY asserted that he had disposed Of the Dev-
cry issue, and that little would be heard of il
during the rest OF the campaign. But, some
way or other, he cannot get rid of Devery.
Even Devery himself seems bent on frustrating
his pious plan for their mutual comfort and
convenience until after election. No sooner has
Mr.. Shepard buried Devery under his meaning
less phrases and told him 10 lie quiet than
Devery begins 10 kick and bluster and call at
tention 10 himself one OF the fine flowers of
Crokerism and the symbol OF the brutality from
which the people seek freedom.
Devery says he is going 10 stay; that nobody
can get rid of him. and that even IL Mr.. Low
IS elected HIS head is not going TO come off.
That is a challenge not only TO Mr. Low. hut
10 Mr.. Shepard. 1t is also a challenge 10 the
people of this city. IL Mr.. Shepard thinks he
can crawl into office by evasion. getting the
votes Of refOrmers on the strength OF his char
acter as a man who would probably remove
Devery. and the votes of the Deveryites on the
strength of his associations and his sllences
and then be free TO do as he pleases he is mis-
taken. Devery does not mean that his silence
shall give consent 10 the idea that Tammany
victory implies his retirement He defles even
Mr.. Low 10 get rid of him. Just how he is go
ing 10 prevent it does not appear. but II Mr..
Low cannot dispose OF him without a fight.
what chance would there be for his displace-

cred that he ought 10 be removed, and might
never discover IL owing 10 HIS rapidly increas-
ing blindness, which enables him 10 see only
slight blemishes where he once found most

Deyery intends that a Tammany victory, IL
there is one, shall stand In popular esteem for
