CLERKS PLAN TOURNEY.
Departmental Billiard Tournament
Now Under Discussion.

An affair which will create considerable
interest to the sporting fraternity of
Washington is a proposed departmental
billiard tournament which will doubtless
start within the next few weeks.
The Pension Department will be rem
resented by Mr.. MARKHAM. who is conceded
to be the best in the city; the Agriculture
Department by Mr. Rice. and the War
Department by Messrs. FridIey and
Wolfe. Wolfe plays a particularly grace
ful and dashing game and at the present
time Is going MS best The other de-

! Do the new football rules lessen tn,
danger and eliminate roughness is a fre
quent question among those Interested Il
the great college game. The genera
consensus OF opinion is that they do away
with Toughness only in a limited degree
Last season the rules were rev and
used TO a slight extent Having had a
full season in which TO become familiar
with them the coaches are taking greater
advantage Of them this year More trick
plays will be used. and the forward pass
and on-side kick no doubt will be seer
oftener.
While the new form Of lining up the
opposing alevens and the rules against
hurdling will do away with the element
of danger to some extent, on the other
hand the forward pass puts the man who
goes ahead to get the ball IN great dan
ger 1t is a difficult matter 10 catch a
bah coming over ones shoulder even
without interference, but when a burly
opponent stands ready to shove the
would-be catcher out of the way, the diff
iiCulties are increased tenfold.
Better for spectators.
The chief benefits of the new rules seem
to consist in bettering the game from the
spectators standpoint. The plays are
more open and the ball is in sight a
greater portion Of the time The possi-
biilties Of an unexpected play are in
creased. OF course, many Of the new
rules received but scant attention last
year because they were new and difficult
10 work out However, this season the
old players have ali had the advantage
Of one years schooling, so the coaches
Will have a much easier time haInmering
new plays into their mems heads.
BY using the new formations the game
Of football assumes the most interesting
phase Of baseball, IN that the unexpected
is likely to happen at any time A good,
heady quarter back can now pull off
trick much easier than under the old
system.
Game Is Stin Rough.
OF course. a lot Of football enthusiasts
shrieked "mOllycoddle" last year when
changes IN the playing code were sug-
gested. but a glance at the list Of men
injured In practice thus far. shows that
there Is still enough Of the element OF
blood -thirsuness left TO satisfy the most
ferOciOus
The rules committee, when called upon
to do so. made changes purporting TO
eliminate danger. Maybe they did. and
maybe they didn't Anyway. they fur
nished a set Of playing rules which, FOR
a time at least, has put TO an end the
increasing cry that football was brutal,
and If nothing else was accomplished
that was well worth while.
The game is easier 20 look al, and pos
sesses more chance for developing brain
work. It takes a whole lot more intelIi-
gence TO work out plays now than il did
when line buck and end runs comprised
the ordinary programme. Football has
not deteriorated any under the new code
and it may be improved. This season viii
tell better than last II the new rules are
a success.

\. Jones VS. the Methodist society Of this
place. The articles I'm the different pa
pcrs seem to make ii appear that the So
ciety paid Jones an ample sum to COM
promise; such is not the case and the
general public should be informed as to
the true facts I'm the matter. I'm the first
place the society stoutly maintains that
it did not owe plaintiff Jones one dollar,
If matters had been properly adjusted,
when, AS he says, the amount due was
$40. The society at the time Of the court
was ready and anxious to have the case
tried upon its merits, and at the instance
of Mr.. Jones a jury was drawn. But at
the last moment Jones decided to with
draw his case and pay the costs Of court
and jury. There was no private agree
ment between him and the Presiding FL
der, Hitchcock. Furthermore. the elder
did not agree to see that the conference
should reimburse plaintiff Jones, as he
could NOT guarantee him any such prop
osition. for the matter would have to
come before the general conference. He
does not receive one cent from the church,
presiding elder or conference. He would
have lost the case had he carried il
through and after due elaboration and
plain talking to from Elder Hitchcock he
decided to drop the whole affair and at his
own instance he called the matter "pri-
vatcly settled" and made his exit through
a rear door Thus the whole matter Is
ended
