Sports of the Fall and Winter.
The Boston Journal Adds a New Feature
to Its Sporting Department.

Time was when the baseball fan had
only scorn for the devotee of the pig-skin
game. But the spectacular features of
the open" game and the elimination of
the heavy mass plays have made it more
attractive to the average follower OF
sports, and so it has come about that
each year sees greater crowds turning
out to see this great outdoor sport.
Realizing that many people are not
familiar with the fine points of the game
The Boston Journal has engaged Mr..
Harry Dadmun to take charge of it's
football department. MIR. Dadmun has
ofhciated in many important matches,
and brings practical knowledge of the
game to the service of Journal readers,
many of whom are already asking his
opinion on plays and rulings, and taking
his decision as authoritative.
Daily reports from The Journals cor
respondents at the various Eastern col
leges pictures of the leading players of
schools and colleges, and full accounts OF
the preparatory school games make The
Journals football department second to
none.
Already the rolling OF balls and falling
of pins is heard on many alleys, and the
leagues and clubs are preparing for the
winter tournaments. OF these, as we'll
as of all other winter sports, The Boston
Journal will give full.reports, thus insur
ing its readers complete returns from the
world of sport.
The W. rk of The Journals special cor
respondents in the Presidential cam
paign, the editorials, ably discussing
matters of local and national interest,
the women's page, and reliable financial
news. are Others of the special features
which have made The Boston Journal
the great family paper of New England.

copies, with request for publication,
be furnished to the Columbus and

4 Serious Situation.

The officers of the United Charities
are confronted with a very serious
| trouble in the carrying on of the
work on account of the situation be-
ing hampered by the fact that only
about 500 has thus far been paid in

all of this is consumed by bills at the
hospital and in assistance rendered TO
destitute people, and when bills for
same are presented and paid the
treasury will be about depleted
While this is being written there is
an appeal from a helpless case in one
section of the city; there are also
calls from two destitute families: in

many of the United Char officers
themselves being sick Id unable to

HORSE STEALING
is SYSTEMATlzED
THE RUSTLERS HAVE REGULAR
ROUTES OVER WHICH STOLEN
STOCK is MOVED AND DIS
! POSED OF. II

I" Williston, July 9.-The officers be
lieve there exists in North and South
Dakota an organized gang of horse
rustlers with a regular relay route
similar to the one that existed
throughout Minnesota years ago and
terminated in an underground stable
near Faribault. Within a few months
hundreds. of fine horses have disap-
peared and no trace has been found.
The man who performed the. orig
inal theft is suspected, and in the
early morning a visit has been paid
to his home where he has been found
quietly sleeping. The fact is that he
had gone fifteen miles away with the
horse, turned it over to another man
and hurried back The second party
to the contract has taken the horse
fifteen miles further and turned 1t
over to a third party, who sometimes
conceals the horse for several days
and then sends him on to the fourth.
Each rustler generally brings back
to his own stable a horse that has
been stolen at the other end of the
route. 1t seems impossible to secure
one of the stolen horses and the nan
who stole it at the same time. The
confederacy is Industrious and seems
to find more than the usual temporary
profit. HI
