The New York rapid transit commas
s;oners have ordered the removal OF
,hose obnoxious advertising signs.
which have defaced the new subway Ill
that city. This is not the end OF the
trouble, for it is announced that the
advertisers will carry their case into
the courts. However, the commission
ers are to be congratulated upon their
stand, and practically everybody IN
New York hopes that the courts VIII
sustain them. Not only were the al
vertisoments an affr1nt to decent
public taste, but it is said that the!
were SO large and conspicuous as to
make identification of the different sta
tions difficult.

The time limit has expired within
which a challenge for a race for the
Americas cup next year can be re-
c"ivcd. For some time it has been
felt that there was little prospect Of a
race in 1905. but nevertheless the yacht
ing enthusiasts have continued to hope
for challenge until the expiration of
the time limit. One authority hints
that IL is most likely that the next
challenge for a cup race will come
from Canadian yachtsmen. The
Canadians are sportsmen and if they
once make up their minds that they
can capture the cup. some close and
exciting contests may safely be count
ed for. 1t would be small consolation,
however. for the English yachtsmen if
the Canadians should succeed in doing
what they have failed to do in the past
half century.

Post. Season Football Suggestions


Now that the football season is at an
end. and the great games have been
played. and the championships settled,
various writer's in the magazines and
newspapers are telling what should be
done to improve the game. The same
complaint is made which has been
heard so often in the past few years.
that the game is not open" enough;
that is. mass plays figure too promi-
nently with weight too important a
factor in deciding victories. No doubt.
an impartial spectator of football
game enjoys the so-called open style of
playing. with frequent exchanges ~
punts and many long end runs. To
please such spectators and also with
the end in view of making the game
less rough, several radical changes in
the rules. notably that of allowing
quarterback runs. have been intro
duced, but the desired result does not
seem 10 nave DeeIl dttdliIcu
When the sO-callei big games Of the
year were played. not forgetting tn :
closing game in the Maine series which
settled the championship of the State
| for this fall. there was a decided
tacular playing in general. There were
no goals from placement or as result
| Of drop kicks. In each case the scores
| were made by what is commonly called
straight football" that is, steady
hamrcring at the opposing lines for
short gains. With this method of play
ing. it was generally impossible for the
spectators to do more than guess at the
identity Of the man carrying the ball.
The offense was usually a series Of
fierce plunGes. push plays and hurdles.
and the man with the ball was only
visible from the grandstand when run
ming back the occasional kicks.
But although this condition Of things.
according to the wise critics of the
game. makes the contest stupid to
| watch" and makes the liability of
| roughness and unspcrtsmanlike con-
| duct greater. it is not recorded that
there has been any lack Of enthusiasm
at this falls big games or that the
number of players injured has been
larger than common. On the contrary,
the football season has been an excep-
tionaily successful one in all respects.
with record breaking crowds in atten-
dance at the games. and the number OF
injuries has actually been smaller than
usual. remarkably small. in fact. when
we consider the great number Of play
ers who participated in this strenuous
and exacting form Of athletics.
The fact is that football is not and
never can be game for the entertain
ment of impartial and bipartisan audi
ences. 1t can never be played success
fully by professionals as baseball is. IT
is the great autumn sport IN schools
and colleges. and for the players them
selves and supporters of the respective
teams. the game "a played, today. is
eminently satisfactory and successful.
Critics of the game usually look at it
from the point of view of an outside
spectator rather than that of the play
ers themselves. or that of the partisans
OF the respective elevens. 1t is doubt .

rules are made for the purpose of

There are reasons to believe that
when Justice holds forth in New

distance from her traditional dignity.
If we are to believe the newspaper
stories Of the trial of Nan Patterson.
the actress. who is accused of killing
her lover. the gambler Young. the ses-
siOns Of the court are marked by levity
and general lack of decorum. with
photographers allowed to continuously
snap their cameras; with interviewers
granted access to the prisoner. and
with the spectators seats filled with
hundreds Of morbid. curiosity seekers,
who have lied and given false names
in order to gain admissions. The
whole thing reads like a story of a
mock trial. rather than a serious
process of justice with a young girl on
trial for her life. In some jurisdica
tons they seem to cling to the solemn
ceremonies of the old-time courts al
most too rigidly. but it is to be feared
that in New York city they have gone
to the other extreme. The morbid, the
idle, the laughers. the mockers.. the
photographers and the interviewers
should be vigorously excluded from
