NOW THEORIES DIFFER
IN FOOTBALL GAME

The recent overthrow of Yale by
West Point and the humiliation of
Princeton at the hands of the middies
have given rise to much speculation
among the followers Of football, says
the Chicago Tribune. In the West
such happenings at this stage of the
season would mean woeful weakness
on the part of the big teams. Nothing
serves better than this to emphasize
the difference between the theories on
which Eastern and Western elevens
are coached. The former have at most
only two big" games to prepare for,
while in the West a series of four or
even six championship contests is Of
ten played by the large teams. In the
East. therefore, the full strength of the
college team natures more slowly than
would be possible for teams occupying
corresponding positions in the West, If
the latter wished to maintain their
prestige. The smaller teams, on the
other hand, are worked to high de-
gree of perfection early in the season,
and the Yale and Princeton catastro-
Plies are examples of the results. 1t
all goes TO show that If the old system
is adhered to the big Four will soon
be a myth in Eastern football. A
team which schedules games with
other elevens nearly it's own equal in
weight and strength, and often its SUI
perior in the matter of coaching, can
not expect to make a clear record for
the season unless more attention is
given to the so-called minor" con-
tests. When practice games result i'll
defeat of the team which is being
"practiced" they are more than mere
preparatory contests. A victory in the
most important game, while it may
vindicate the strength of the large
team, cannot remove the black eve a
defeat at the hands of a smaller team
gives it. Either the smaller elevens
must be regarded with more respect by
coaches of the larger teams or the IA
nous and time-honored big Four"
must pass out of existence.

HOW THE MIGHTY
HAVE FALLEN.
Jack Fuller Now Earning Only So
Per Day.

Jack Fuller Now Earning Only So
Per Day.
How the mighty have fallen!
Jockey Grover Cleveland Fuller, a
boy who earned $50, 900 as a race rider
a year ago, is working i'm a livery sta
BILE in F'latbush for So a day, accord
ing to gossip at the race track, says
a New York exchange. Up to the mid
die of August this year Fuller was
averaging $50 day. Since then he
has had a falling out with his man
ager, A. thinner. and has decided he
would rather labor hard for living
than acknowledge himself to be at
fault and return to the track.
Nearly three months ago thinner
told Fuller that he need not come
around the stable quarters until he
was prepared to rigidly obey instruc
tlons. Fuller went away in the sulks
and has remained away since, though
thousands OF dollars have been lost
TO him personally and Senator T. ID.
Sullivan's stable deprived of his rid
ing services. 1t has been a deadlock
between thinner and Fuller, with both
principals obdurate in their determine
ton to hold out until the other gives
in. Fuller's contract income was cut
off by thinner when the jockey refused
to stand by the terms of the instru-
ment.
thinner has proven a good friend to
Fuller, for in the moment of the riders
zenith OF success two years ago he
saw to II that the famous Jockeys
winnings were safely put by out Of
reach of the young man. Through
zimmer's foresight the jockey will
come into handsome competency
when he reaches a more mature age.
From the very first Fuller was hard
TO control. He liked convivial charac-
ters and detested the abstemious life
necessary TO good jockeyship.
In 1908 Fuller won the Suburban
handicap with Africander. and led all
the jockeys on the years winnings and
averages. Last winter thinner re-
fused 10 sell his first call to Alex.

"IRON MAN" M'GINNITY
AT LAST APPRAISED.
Decided That He Can Play ON Coast
If He Desires.

Decided That He Can Play ON Coast
If He Desires.
The break between Joe McGinnity
and the New York teams regarding the
right of McGinnity to play on the coast
during the winter has started talk of
new rules to govern the players dur
ing the time between seasons.
Under existing rules there is moth
ing to prevent McGinnity or any other
player from playing in another league
between the time his contract expires
in the fall and begins in the spring.
The major leagues do not claim to con-
troll their players during the off season,
while the minors, save the one on the
coast, have no rules against major
league players being used.
The Coast League has a rule prohib-
iting players from coming after GER
tain date, but this does not prevent
their taking part in games if they come
before that date. In the present in
stance the players signed were to have
reported before the time limit was
up.
The first discussion over the mat
ter of controlling players during the
off season came through the California
trip of the All-Nationals and All-Amer-
leans Players on these two teams
showed the effects of their hard work
during the next regular season and
there was talk Of putting a check on
such excursions. The players them
selves, however, realized that the work
during the winter hurt them and drop
ped the trip the following winter and
have not revived it since.

AT THE THEATER

Ghosts" to those who skin the
pages of light literature and find
pleasure therein, and those who witness
the modern tinselled productions on
the stage and find equal pleasure,
is either dry or Shocking"
1t is realism perhaps too much over
drawn for this fresh blooded America
of ours, but who knows that it does
not reflect with mirror-like accuracy
the decadence of life itself among
the aristocratic families of Continent
tai Europe where the scenes are laid
Viewed in all its ghastliness by
some 200 or 300 people who were mot
afraid of the light" this Ibsen pro-
duction was not up to the idea of the
great author in its presentation yes
terday and last night. The company
of players suffered some as a whole in
comparison with that which first
brought the piece before a Savannah
audience last year.
There were but one or two changes
in the caste, but the numerical
strength is so limited that the
slightest change is discernible.
Mr.. Bogel failed to portray the char
acter wherein the real motive and ac-
ton hinges. But there is something
so thrilling, startling and soul subsid-
ing in the very lines themselves, for
they really have ghostly selves, that
it is the character and not the char
acters that one sees. Few dramatiSts
have conceived a nobler picture of
true womanhood than Ibsen has de-
lineated with master skill in the char
acter of Mrs. Alving. The horrible
realism pictured in the degeneracy of
Oswald has never been more real. And
yet not degeneracy, but heredity, a
blood tainted with fathers sin and
debauchery.
Especially in the South does such a
play fail to take the public mind 1t is
a play for thinking people, problem
to be lived out and not reasoned out.
There are no such gloomy illustrations
of realism in the South, and for that
reason the play has no charm such as
the indefinable spell which draws the
murderer back to scene of his crime.
For the sane it has no spell except to
cause a feeling of revulsion against
sin. Therefore Ghosts" may not be
so dangerous to society as the pre-
sentation of pink limbed fairies
''superbly formed women of the CHI
ruses of the modern comic opera.
"And THEY'VE are one and all most
pitifully afraid of the light" That
sorrow-burdened exclamation wrung
from the very depths of the heart OF
Mrs. Alving in the second act, tells the
whole story of Ghosts" Afraid of the
condemnation which public opinion
would heap upon him for whom she
wore the badge of widowhood, if they
| but knew the loathsome character OF
the man as she knew him.

Few plays of recent years have been
as successful as Under Southern
Skies,'' which will be seen here for
the first time on next Tuesday night.
This play is described as "the most
original, diverting and unhackneyed
play of Southern life ever written. "
The story of Under Southern Skies"
is woven about an aristocratic family
of the South and their high born
friends These characters are all types
of Southern people and display their
cflivalry, their hot-headedness, and
their spirit of lavish, unstudied hospi-
tally The darkey servants furnish
their own characteristic comedy, "Un-
Gle Joshaway," Aunt Doshy" and a
modern Typsy called "Anner 'Lizer, F"
forming a trio who create a great dear
of amusement. One of the features of
the play, which has contributed large
ly to its success, is a Halloween cele-
bration in which the young people play
many amusing games, and wind up
with a pumpkin dance"
