LONDON October 21.-Whether the
forthcoming season will yield as much ex-
citing professional billiards as that which
ended in June last with the match between
Roberts and Stevenson it is impossible to
say. However, it is tolerably certain that
we are just entering upon the busiest seven
months that has ever been experienced in
connection with the game. In London and
Manchester there are to be two big tourna-
Rents in which twelve of the leading play
ers of England and Scotland will be en-
gagged and already some of the professionals
are beginning to talk about money matches.
John Roberts will against be with us and
play deal in London, as he lis booked for
seven weeks at Soho Square. 1t is an

plenty of play in him 1t will not be sur

1t attracted gentlemen from the more bene-
hciai occupation of shooting arrows or
archery. His order to the sheriffs of Lon

The game on the American soil developed
from the Rugby style of play and was first
Introduced by the Harvard University. The
tirs match game between two American
college teams took place in 1876 The game
was then played in England by kicking
the ball off to the opposing team but one

member of his team and mass formation
was formed by his team mates and the ball
carried around the struggling mass of play
ers. before the opposing team was aware
of the trick. The swapping of the ball with
the foot then brought into use. and
later on the swapping of the ball with the
hards. 1t was, of course, only a step from
the old style of having the center man pass
the ball to the quarterback. to those OF
the present day. and the playing of the
teams, showed progress toward the modern
form organized team work, with its won
dcrful methods of attack and defense.
The so-called foot ball arnor is no small
part of the modern game. The players of
the early days of the American revised
game wore light suits of woven jersey,
which fitted well enough, but were very
easily torn and the players usually came
off the field with no suit their backs.
A fall on the ground bruised the players
and after a short time the heavier flannel
krickerbockers were adopted. They were
also found to be wanting for the rough
work which had developed with the more
modern style of play, another change
was made. This time corduroy was used;
then, as substitute. and afterward, came
the heavy canvas and mole skin armors of
the present day. The shinguard was an un-
known thing in the early days, but II was

The recent effort Of President Roosevelt
to get cleaner foot bail recalls the fact that
this popular sport is Of ancient origin just
how old history has failed to show.
The Romans centuries ago played game
with an inflated ball. which Is doubtless the
origin Of the modern pigskin, likewise the
Greeks indulged in a game in which the
players endeavored to carry the ball over
line defended by their opponents The
carvings on ancient Egyptian tablets fire.
qrently show the representation of one
man passing to another in approved fash
ion what appears to be foot ball.
No complete historical record is known as
to what time before the middle ages foot
ball first originated The game at that
/ time was the leading sport in England. The
games took place between teams represent
ing two different villages, and the field was
the land lying between them. Four hours
with no intermission constituted the time
Of playing, which had for its primary OBJ
ject the field. With no rules to govern the
sport, the object of each player seems to
have been to put his opponent out, which
at times resulted in miniature war.
Hauling, throttling, hacking of shins and
scratching of eyes and faces were charac-
tcristic- of the game in the middle ages.
The pastims soon felt the influence of
higher civilization. The villages longer
served as goal posts. and instead of having
any one that could be picked up in the viii
lage to7play the game, representatives, were
sent from each. Hacking of shins and
throttling were abolished by the rules and
regulations which were adopted. and the
players no longer kicked at one another
SO much, but instead endeavored to gain
possession of the ball. AS years wore on
the grounds were made smaller and the
number of men on each team reduced until
the rougher elements of the early ages were
weeded out, and there appeared the first
stages of the present English game-the
sociation foot ball, and in this country
the Rugby.

subject of attack by the public. In 1914,

but the match has been declared off. Inc
whole secret OF the matter lies in the fact
that whereas the veteran wants TO give
starts, the younger players refuse TO take
them and well they may. BY this tiUe
it is quite obvious that Roberts is to say
the least, not the superior of Stevenson and
Dawson. and probably he knows it as well
as anybody. Were he still a better man
he would not hesitate to play level, for
there could be only one result and at the

YANKEE CREWS
MAY GET A CHANCE

NEW YORK October 21.-Jerome Is.
jerome, the English humor.st and author,
who is here on lecturing tour, will try to
get the famous Leander crew to row an
all-American crew next season.
The author of Three Men in Boat
learned for the first time yesterday that
the Henley authorities VIII not permit a
foreign" crew seeking the Grand Chal-
lenge cup TO have representatives, of more
than one club college row in the chal-
lei ging boat, although Leander, which
usually defends the trophy, is permitted to
row with the best blades of England, Sc
lected from both oxford and Cambridge.
The English stewards get around the
bush by CHASING the Leander crew as being
of one club, but matter of fact the per-
sonnel of the boat is invariably composed
of eight men chosen from the scores of
smaller colleges in Cambridge and Oxford.
The proposition that America be permitted
to pick men from Yale, Harvard, Cornell,
Columbia. Wisconsin and the other col
leges or from the leading amateur boat
clubs of the country, has never met with
the approval of the august Henley stew
ards.
Mr. Jerome was told that the ma jority
Of American sporting men who went
abroad to compete usually returned with
poor idea of the Englishman as sports
man. He was then asked:
DO you consider the oarsmen at Henley
real sports?
81 most certainly do replied the Eng
lis'l Mark Twain.
"Why do they want the long end of the
stick, then?' he was asked.
II have always been told it was give
and take with them," Mr.. Jerome made
reply.
yet they will not let us pick a rowing
crew of various blades to compete at Hen
ley as they do in the case of Leander.'

of the ideal ball team The Giants under
McGraw gave one exhibition that was in
deed worth going long distance to wit
ness. 1t was the first game at Philadelphia
where they took instant advantage of ev-
cry opening and followed the Quakers into
every hole with a jab to keep them out
of danger. 1t was case of bunt, hit out.
run bases and fielding in superb style and
never making wrong pay. 1t was a clear
case of ordinary ball players being well
drilled and following out the orders of n
great general. for little Mack was in evil
dence everywhere. The campaign was fig
ured out to fraction and each pitcher was
given positive instructions just how to work
each Quaker and the fielders were put wise
to the plans as il was easy to see as
Damien would get one grounder back of

that they preferred stealing third base on

-Four games the Quakers were shut out,
where they had no less than fifteen chances
to score man with base hit. The Giants
