submidy.
 Washington, Dec. 3.-~Speaker Cam non has received fifteen petitions from this country asking him to use his in- fiuence for the passage of the ship subsidy bill.
 As President Gompers. of the Amer ican Federation Of Labor and other prominent labor leaders have openly opposed the measure the petitions sent to Mir. Cannon have caused some sur prise in that they indicate a diversion among the labor forces on this impor- tant measure. Speaker Cannon has al- ways ben classer with the radical op- ponents of ship subsidy and as he has also been out of favor with President Gompers. the appeal to the speaker is all the more unexpected.

Fighters Become Mentally Unbaanced-Difference
Between Actors and Pugilists
By w. w. NAUGHTON.

CT knows nothing of sentiment or re-

that may make for melancholy and
madness later on.
1 have an idea that IL is the animal
courage of fighters that dominates all
their attributes and keeps them from
becoming mental weaklings. A man can
never become very much Of a fighter

was never more impressed with the
hrmness OF purpose with which pugi-
lists are endowed than l was one night
AT Tattersalls in Chicago. While two
lightweigAts were boxing, the cry Of
fire was raised. II was not In the build
ing. but mighty close to IL and the
crowd was paniclIy when the red glare
nlled the windows. But the fellows in
side the ropes did not trouble their
heads about It. The excitement grew
and waned, the flames fiared and sub
sided and the lightweights just biffed
and hammered each other throughout
all
The grit which is much of a lighters
stock in trade, is something that he has
with him even after his muscles have
become fiabby and his hands have lost
their cunning. Il helps him to sdueIch
the bogies arising from III health and
dissipation and that, IN my opinion. is
why very few Of the guild end their
careers in madhouse.

WHISTLER'S HUMOR.

OF Whistler. the famous American
painter, an artist said at the Groliel
Club in New York, according to The
New York Times:
Il knew and admired Whistler in the
early days of my career In Paris. He
lived luXuriously; ] lived in a garret
Though he liked me none the less foi
that. he did not permit any false deli
eecy 10 keep him from joking me about
my pOOrhouse ways.
'One day, IN very shabby suit,
was strolling In the Boulevard des ItaI-
lens when some one hailed me from the
rear. ! turned and saw Whistler has
tening toward me in his tan hat and
his lemOn-cOlored gloves, waving his
long black cane

Sporting Odds and Ends
Gathered By an Expert
BY MANHATTAN.

With all the games played and the
returns all in il is the proper thing to
make mp the honor roll Of the gridiron
and pick out the men who probably
would play in an an-Eastcrn team, II
such a team should be made up. Il is 4
form Of amusement In which all writer's
on football topics have been engaging
and there has been a wide difference OF
opinion as 10 the composition OF the
team
From a careful study of the play dur
irg the latter part of the. season when
the men had settled down to play in
earnest would choose these teams 10
represent the East:
Left end. Forbes. Yale; left tackle.
Cooney. Princeton; left guard. Thomp-
soE, Cornell, center, Hackensberger,
Vale: righ guard. Burr, Harvard: right
tackle. Riglow. Yale; right end. Wister
Princeton. quarterback, Dillon. Prince
ton: left halfhack, Mt. Pleasant: right
halfback, Veeder. Yale; fullback. H0I-
lenback, Pennsylvania.
In some Of these positions the deci-
is room for difference of opinion, but
when all is said and done the above
eleven men are In my judgment entitled
TO first honors.
The list gives Yale four places on the
all-Easteru. Princeton three. Cornell.
Harvard, Carlisle aud Pennsylvania one
each.
Fully ag important as the merits OF
IL L. IL
rules. That they have been fully jus
tilted there is no difference of opinion.
There IS. however. difference Of opinion
as to whether or not they should be fur
ther smended. The principal changes
advocated are these:
Allowing two forward passes in one
scrimmage if the first did not cross the
line of scTimmage
Increasing the number of downs in
ten yards.
That linemen be given the privilege
OF exchanging with the backs. provided
that such a shift will not produce mass
plays.
The abolition Of the rule prohibiting
tackling below the knees.
That the Eve men on the side line be
kept back three yards from gridirol-
Increasing the time OF play TO thirty
five-minute halves and that time be
taken out for distance penalties.
Abolishing the second umpire; clauses
clarifying under what conditions a man
could recover the forward pass
4 ruling definitely protecting the man
catching a punt
That the referee be given control Of
the condition and progress of the ball
and the umpire the players.
Such men as Paul Dashiell, Walter
Camp, John e. Bell Carl Williams and
other recognized football authorities are,
it is said. favorable to these changes. On
the other hand, there are many experts
who believe it the part of wlsdors TO go
slow in making changes until another
year has tried out the present rules
thoroughly. It is probable changes Will
be made.
