As to Railroad Whistles.
m the Hayerhill Gazette.

From the Haverh1u Gazette.
There is a lot Of agitation concerning
unnecessary whistling'' on railroad lines
and .he railroad commissioners have cx-
ercised the power which they have to abro-
gate the law requiring whistlfny at cioss-
ings in many places where complaint has
been r,ade and where there Is a crossing
tender. There Is a chance. however. of !ne
reform going too far, whichever may have
been the abuse. Not every crossing Is suf-
ficiently protected. even with crossing
tender, and the warning whistle prior to
the approach of the train Is desirable not
only for the person who is at the crossing
and can be readily stopped by the fsagr5an
or the gate, but also for the person who Is
approaching the crossing and IS possibly
deprived Of clear view of the guard and
cannot be 50 easily stopped Not many

FOOT BALL NOTES,

Coach Reid's tactics Of practicinR al
fullback with the Harvard varsity have
had the effect Of making each player do his
best in the eyes Of his chief. Reid has
not been backward in telling each man
what he thinks of him. and words Of praise
are as frequent as those of stern crit
icism.
Fumbling is more prevalent in the games
this year. and practice at catching punts
and falling on the ball is being Insisted
upon by the coaches.
Princeton is trying out a new plan for
the forward pass The man that goes for
ward to catch the ball takes his time,
grabs the ball, and IL there is anybody
near him his duty Is to fall down with it..
This has been found to be safer than hav-
ing man try to run ahead and catch the
ball at the same time, with the whole idea
of making a gain after he gets the ball.
The Harvard squad will have quite a
junket on the way to the West Point game.
Plans are being made to take the boat to
New York city Friday night and continue
by boat up the Hudson on Saturday morn
ing. Coach Reid Is to take large-sized
squad as a reward for the good work many
players have been doing.
One difference is noted on many football
fields this year. When ball Is fumbled
the coach -yells: ''Grab 1t and rum and
the players try to pick up the leather. In
former years, under the old rules, when

mark and 1T was feared at Cambridge that
his duties as leader were handicap to

WESTERN MARYLAND
NO MATCH FOR M'DOiES

ANNAPOLIS, October 25-The navy foot
ball eleven had a chance to try two or more
men in every position yesterday while run
ming up a score of "a to against Western
Maryland College. The visitors not only
failed to make a first down. but their backs
rarely reached the line of ,scrimmage. and
the fact that they lacked long punter
enabled the midshfpmen to score almost at
will.
The Navy used the forward pass with
fair success during the game, and the on
side kick to even greater advantage. The
visitors tried the forward pass twice. but
on both occasions a navy player got the
ball. The lineup and summary follow:

National Commission Decides Against
Highlanders.


CINCINNATI. October 25-The national
base ball commission has denied the appli-
cation Of the New York American League
Club for a rehearing of the case of Player
Jensen, who was recently awarded to the
Spokane club by the commission.
Some time ago the Spokane club filed
claim with the commission for the services
of Jensen. alleging that the player was then
with the New York club. The claim Of the
Spokane club was allowed and the player
awarded to them. An application was then
made for a rehearing of the case by the
New York club in behalf of the player. The
New York club did not claim any title TO
the player, but commended that possibly an
injustice had been done the player under
the finding Of the commission In awarding
him to the Spokane club.
The commission again went into the testi-
mony submitted to them and decided that
the player had accepted the terms Of the
Spokane club and therefore refused the
application of the New York club for re-
hearing Of the case.
