 Within the last four years an en- tirely new industry has been brought to London by an enterprising foreigner. It is not, indeed, a desirable one and in unskilled hands might verge on criminality. Yet there is no great capital in Europe without 1t. It is the making of alibis, not for criminal, but for purely social and personal pur~ poses. ..~.
 He provides a1ibis for all sorts of men all over Europe who have good reason for making their wives, en- ployers or creditors believe them to be In some spot where they are not and do not intend to be.
 As becomes a factor in International relations, he is strictly honest-a least, so he believes-and this was his first affirmation to the interviewer who, pretending that he wanted 8 letter posted in Marseilles, and paying the sum of ne-arld-threepence, wormed himself into confidential relations.
 My Business" said the artist in alibis, speaking in excellent English exercrably pronounced, "is done chiefly with foreigners.

SUPERSTITIONS OF
THE GOLF PLAYERS

| Golf has its superstititious side the same as
other sports. While it cannot be said golfers
! are superstitious as class, yet many prominent
players have odd notions as to what may bring
them good or bad luck in a:tournament2 or match.
From time to time every golfer as he steps up
to the teeing ground will find a perfectly nodded
little sand tee left by some player who had
driven SO cleanly as not to disturb the hummock
of sand. OF course, it is less trouble to place
| the ball the ready-made tee than to make
one, but very few will yield to the temptation
There's a belief that to do SO means bad luck.
It occasionally happens that after player has
teed his ball and has taken his stand about to
drive, the ball will either move topple of the
| tee. This is considered bad luck by some while
others maintain it to be good omen.
| In the recent playof between Smith and An
derscn for the Metropolitan Golf association open
championship at Fox Hills Smiths ball started
to roll while he was in the act Of driving from
| the sixth tee. sliced drive resulted, but the
ball brought up a good tie, and no harm was
done. A few moments later Smith topped his
second shot, going to the seventh, and half
topped his drive from the ninth tee, neither mis-
take doing any damage. g..
There's an old Scottish superstition that the
person standing 2 up with 5 to play will never
| win out in match, and it is also said
to be bad luck to win the! first hole winners
first, losers last, = is the version. For all that
there are very few golfers who will not try as
hard as they can to take the first hole.
Another hoodoo is for player to hit the turf
| behind his ball on the putting green. 1t is
/ hard luck in itself, but the true explanation is
usually in bad play, the same as when loser
names OFF the green's where he took three puts as
/ proof Of had, luck.
! /, When players evenly rated clash. luck seems
| to play prominent part. and while nearly all
are superstiteus thus far they have found no an
tidote for the baleful power that leads the best
| Of SLOTS astray.
Bad temper is not apt to cure the trouble, tho
| when patience ceases it is not unusual for the
! golfer to fling his mashie with maledictio,,
J after the erring ball. Some golfers have the
habit Of crossing their fingers while an opponent
is putting.
Not few golfers have odd notions about
i bunkers. They Invariably take out new ball
at the next tee after being bunkered while play.

Journal Special Service.


Madison, Wis, Nov. 11.-Wisconsin will use 4
lot Of subs ttutes in the game with Beloit today.
The coaches and trainers do not believe it would
be wise to take chances with many Of the regu-
lars. When asked what the lineup would be,
Head Coach King said that it had not been
fully determined, and probably would not be
until just before the game. ..- -...
No scrmmage had last night. The field
muddy that the coaches would not risk
their charges it. The practice consisted al
most wholly Of signal work, running formations
and punting. 1t was heavy and fast, however,
and the players were entirely willing to quit
when time was called at 5 o'clock.
Findley, the star ,ha1fback, was out for the
first time this week. His bad leg is gradually
improving. Roseth, the plunging fullback, also
was out He says that his shoulder is still some
what lame. but otherwise he feels good. Bertke,
tackle, Brindley, end, and Deering, tackle. were
not out. Ali are feeling fairly well except
Deering who. has a touch of the grip.
1--WE surely have our work cut out for us for
the Michigan game" said Coach King today
''It will doubtless be the football game of the
middle west. If our boys are in good shape we
may win. We shall do everything possible to
keep them in good shape. What will the score
be? Oh, don't ask such hard question. If we
win by any margin shall be perfectly salts
fed" .- ---'- '-.- ..5r.

Philadelphia, Nov. 11.-Keyed to the highest
pitch Of excitement Harvard and Pennsylvania
await the sound of the referees whistle on
Franklin field. Both teams in excellent
trim. Despite the discouragng reports emanat-
ing from Philadelphia within the past week.
Pennsylvania has eleven in every way worthy
f; of the red and blue. Her men, tho light, are
goaded to desperation, and, backed to man
by the undergraduates, are prepared to put up
desperate fight tomorrow against their old
. rivals.
Harvard, too, is in for blood. The playing Of
Lamson in the quaker line has acted like red
dag waved in the faces of the crimson players,
and has caused spirit of grim determination
among them that is without precedent. Bet
ting the game favors Harvard by odds Of
from . to 1 to 3 to /.
On the eve Of the battle old Philadelphia
teemed with excited partizans of the two teams.
All the hotels and clubs crowded to their
utmost capacity, the streets alive with
people, and all sides today's contest was the
one topic every tongue.

and in the afternoon thru signal practice
on Franklin field. Pennsylvania INDUCED in SIM

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 11.-Harvard men
were unable to find any Pennsylvania money
here, tho they have offered odds Of s to 8. The
excitement Is less than has been known for
years about Cambridge preceding game with

NOUS among the students that this should be
the last game with them, and as the game has
drawn nearer they have grown more confident
OF victory.
rs4 Up to yesterday there had been very little
money of any kind in evidence, but suddenly
crimson money began to show. Every man who
accompanied the team carried a roll of his own
and big punches Of his friends money, hoping
to be able to play it in Philadelphia. They were
willing to offer to 3, altho some Of the players
who had wagers to lay thought that the odds
were too short.

New York.. Nov. 1.-Two gridiron contests
that will have direct bearing the football
championship of 1906 are being played this after
noon. Pennsylvania and Harvard are clashing
on Franklin field Philadelphia. Princeton and
Cornell are engaged in their annual struggle
at Princeton. The former Is undoubtedly the
more important of the two as 1t Is more truly
a championship contest on the showing thus
far this season and in the matter Of tradition
The 5Cornell-Princeton game brings together two
colleges that have already been defeated, and

The game at Franklin field is attracting
great deal of interest, it is likely to be the
last meeting of the two colleges on the gridiron.
For many years past there has been friction be-
tween the two universities as regards athletics,
and this year it has about reached climax.
Both colleges apparently are in favor Of break
Ing off athletic relations, and there seems to
be nothing that can prevent the rupture.
Will Be Bitter Fight.
In view of the fact that everything points to
the breaking off Of athletic relations, the con-
test is attracting great deal Of attention from
the followers of the gridiron sport. Neither OF
| the colleges wishes to have a defeat scored
against 1t, and both will fight like fends to
score win. Apparently Harvard has the best
chance to capture the honors, but there may be
another upset in the calculations, as there was
last year. -@s
| The contest at Princeton will undoubtedly be
a very close one, with the chances Of success
slightly faVoring the tigers. The Princeton
team, however, is still somewhat crippled from
the Columbia game. and there is the chance Of
another upset in the calculations being record
ed at the New Jersey town. Cornell has been
working hard for the contest, it is her
really big game of the year. Warmers pupils
are In the top-notch of condition for the game
Both eleven have met defeat. Princeton fell
before the strong Dartmouth team last week
and the Ithacans were trounced by Swarthmore
q week ago. s..- ..-....
- Yale Meets Brown.
Yale will line up against Brown" at New
Haven and q good game can be looked for.
The Providence eleven has shown itself formida-
BILE, having held Pennsylvania down to an S-to5
score, and Harvard to ten points The New
Haven collegians, however, apparently will not
be pushed to win, altho it is improbable that
/ the score will be other than small, for Yale
learned a week ago, in playing Columbia, that
it costs to run up large totals. The wearers of
the blue undoubtedly will be satisfied with q
moderately fair win.
At West Point Carlisle and the cadets will
have 1t out, with the result toss-up. Both
elevens credited with being fairly strong and
with fast, snappy play on both sides the con.
test will be worth seeing. Carlisle has made 8
good showing in her other big games this sea

scalp. West Point, however, is noted for hel
determined spirit, and can be depended on tt
