Wentunrih MIlinrr Academy.

Wentworth Military Academy.
The 1904 issue Of Spaldlng's Ofielai
Foot Ball Guide, edited by Waiter
Camp, the secretary of the rules CON-
mittee and the prominent author
ity on foot ball in the United States,
has been issued for the current season
aud, in addition to the picture Of the
local team, contains all the information
annually looked for by foot ball play
ers and followers of the game.
The newly revised rules are. O fcourse
the most important feature of the book
and are presented in an attractive torn
being printed IN large type, with copious
side notes and an index and a diagram
showing the new field markings.
The list of subjects comprises chap
tiers on the game, with a description of
the play and directions for laying out a
field, in addition TO which are given ex-
plantations of points OF play for the
benefit Of the spectator. Mr.. Camps
All-America selection, with second and
third choice, forms the usual interest
ing chapter on this subject, appended
to which is a list OF teams selected for
the same honor by leading writers on
the game.
An ll-Western team has also been
selected by Mr.. Camp who in addition
reviews the game in the Middle West,
while his comments on the special
annual matches between the big COL
leges in the east are interesting read
ing.
The popularity Of foot ball, however
is now so widespread that 1t is impossible
for one writer to cover every section of
the country, and therefore it has been
found necessary to get someone familiar
with the conditions locally to write on
the game in his territory. The first of
these articles is Foot Ball in the Middle
West, by A. A. Stage, the famous uirec-
tor of physical culture and athletics at
the University of Chicago, and now a
member of the rules committee; Foot
Ball in the South is by John Longer
deSaulles, the famous Yale quarter of
1901, who is particularly interested in
the game in that section Foot Ball in
New England is reviewed by M. E.
Webb, foot ball editor Of the Boston
Globe; George Orion, of the University
of Pennsylvania, tells of the game in
the Middle States; Archie Rice Of the
San Francisco Chronicle writes of
Pacific Coast foot ball, and Martin
Delany of St. Louis University, de-
scrlbes the game in the Southwest,
while Frank D. Woodwork OF Toronto
contributes q most interesting article
on the state of Rugby IN Canada.
Illustrations have always been a
feature of Spalding's Official Foot Ball
Guide, and this years Issue surpasses
all others in the number of teams re-
presented, the aggregate number Of
players shown being at least four
thousand, The records of teams from
every part of the country during the
past year are also given.

At the council meeting last night Al.
derman Fraser said, when the ques.
ton of building needed street cross
ings came up--crossings which had
already been ordered built by the city
council---that the contractors were
given to understand that there was no
money in the city treasury to pay for
them and therefore they had not done
the work. Whenever the mayor, or
somebody tells them to go ahead they
will go ahead. In this connection
one bit Of Improvement ordered by
the council some months ago at the
suggestion of Alderman Hasenjaeger
calls for special attention, 1t is the
sewer on Sixth street from Railroad
street to Commercial avenue The
condition there as to drainage has
been very offensive for years, being
accomplished by surface gutter
which is nearly always filled with filth
that smells to the clouds. Being on
street more travelled by strangers
than any other piece of street in the
city, Ii serves to communicate its bad
odor to the world and mar the good
name OF the city accordingly.

should be placed in charge Of another

with fresh gun so that he may be

kept at its head when II is reorgan-
