The wonderful squirt Of the Chicago
Whitesox has divided the attention Of the
fans between that team and the fine bunch
headed by Frank Chance. Only little
while ago there was talk Of supplanting
Fielder Jones as manager OF the whitesox,
because he wasn't getting the work out Of
them, and putting Joe Cantillon in to
handle the team. Well, about seven other
managers in the American are well enough
satisfied with the work Jones has been
getting out of the Comiskey bunch. whether
they are pleased or not. The end is still
long month away, but II begins TO look
as n the worlds championship will be
played on the Southside and westside
grounds in Chicago. Chances team is a
cinch in the National, and only the tough
est OF hard luck can head eff the Sox now.
This raises the gloomy thought OF how
much disappointment there win be when
that famous series starts. Neither ground
Is big enough to hold even half OF the
Chicago fans, while the thousands Of bugs
from all over the west who win fock

On Sunday he reported ct 10 o'clock IN

william T. Reid. Harvard's head coach,
says that foot bali will be better than ever
as q sport. Among other things in dis
eussins the new games Reid selects the
ten yard rule from "a bewildering MAS Of
legislation" as the most important feature
of the new style OF game. ''of all the
changes which have been proposed with a
view 10 the eradication OF the evils OF the
game" he asserts. this is the only one
which Accompanies Its especial functions
without in any way cramping the develop
ment OF the game as whole" He h
confident that its adoption win result In a
disbursement Of mass plays. though not
at the expense Of ingenuity In offensive
work. which he thinks forms one OF the
most fascinating features Of foot ball
Many followers OF the game have been In
clined In the opinion that the ten yard
rule would not prove to be what It was
designed for-the elimination OF mass play.
Reid does not agree with this stand. but
says; Il admit that II is quite probable
that we shall see teams making their ten
yards by mas play occasionally. but they

DR.. Langley ana HI. Machine.

you saw the first flight OF the Langley
model. DR.. Bell. Was his large machine
adapted 70 successful fight?'
IT have no doubt but that It would have
flown had It been properly launched" was
the reply. THE machine was caught on
leaving the boat and thrown down into the
water It was never sent out into the air
and It Is no more proper to say that 1t
would not have flown than to assert that a
ship. which had been caught half way down
the launching stage and had never touched
the water, would not be able to float II
properly placed In the water.
Indeed. I do not think that DR.. Langley
was fairly treated as to his flying machine,
and believe that the criticism which he
received from the press was largely the
cause of his death. He was making the
machine with an appropriation from the
war department, and he felt II his duty to
keen all details concerning II as secret as
possible. He also disliked publicity, and
his personal inclination went side by side
with his conscientious scruples in his at
tempts to keep his experiments from the
press. The newspaper men. however,
camped down about him whenever he at
tempted to make flight, and when he
would give them no information they began
TO ridicule him. When the machine caught,
through the accident in starting 1t, they
reported II total failure. and ridiculed the
possibility OF its success. The attacks were
such that they cut Secretary Langley TO the
heart and he did not feel that he could
ask congress to give him money to mako
another trial, nor that he could stand the
wear and tear that such a trial would en-
tail. The result was that the machine was
moved to the workshop back Of the Smith
sonian institution. where am told 1t stands

What do you think OF Walter wellmans
plan for reaching the north pole7''
ut is one Of great risk. and the man is
indeed daring to make the attempt. Never

He presented his plans In detail to some Of
the officers Of the National Geographic
society. and It seemed to me that his
deductions were made upon a scientific
basis We expect to send representative
Of the National Geographic society along
with him. I do not know. after all, whether
he Is risking more in this way than in an
attempt to reach the pole by sleds and
dogs over the ice. His machine is such
that It can be turned into a sled, and the
machinery will move It over the ice II any
