THE MOST EFFECTIVE PLAY IN
FOOTBALL THIS YEAR HAS BEEN
THE OLD MOTH-EATEN FAKE
KICK.
In the old days OF football. one OF
the standard stratagems was a punt
ing formation in-which the man APP
parently instructed 10 kick took the
ball and started instead rapidly on a
course round one OF the ends. II was
this play on which Johnny Garrels so
often starred for Michigan. II was
this play which Hollenback used to
make PENIS most consistent gains
on Michigan. History abounds in In
stances where this play has won hard
fought games.
With the development Of the new
game, the end run from kicking forma-

tator at dog fight held Sunday, and
when the police raided the hall the
fighter disarmed two men, overpow-
cred several more and led the retreat
IN which all but nine OF the hundreds
OF spectators escaped.
Marshal James Finneran, showing
not the least apprehension, but ac-
companied by half score of curious
residents of Burnham, went to Hege-
wich. where Nelson lives, to serve the
warrant.
Don't move, don't try to escape and
don't leap out OF the windows" said
the spokesman for the trustees and
police. Not a soul stirred for a second
and then Nelson emerged from his
seat.
Hey, you guys" he said. Put
down those guns. II you are not
careful you will shoot somebody"
Nelson then started a scene that
ended In the escape OF the greater
part OF the spectators.

opposite was the case. We could do
nothing right against the Tigers, and
yet We played just as well and as hard
as we did in Cleveland. We could not
get hit when we wanted 1t. and our
hits did not come at the right time.
Detroit had all the luck. and that re-
ally explains our defeats.
You know, we were lucky against
Cleveland all year and unlucky against
Detroit. This is why the Tigers won
the pennant. and II always takes luck

The end run from kicking formation
is the most puzzling play for the OPP
ponents to solve. A green ends first
thought will be that ii is up to him
TO keep the opposing end from going
down the field on the kick that seems
to be intended. Once he gets this idea
into his head and 1t is all of with him.
Before he can revise his intentions.
the man whom he has been endeavor-
ing to put out OF the play has put him
out and the runner with his interior
ence has flashed past
For teams whose punters are also
fast men-and most good punters fill
this bill, the fake kick is beyond
question the most effective play in
sight.

the first line of defense can be pretty

fleld before he can be tackled. 1t was
this play which enabled Pennsylvania
to work its scoring machine to the
utmost against Michigan. II was
this play which put the ball In

Haven Saturday, from which point
Kennard kicked the goal that made
harvard joyous. II was this play
which enabled Syracuse to pillow its
way through the mud to that over
whelming victory over Michigan In
the closing game of the year for the
men OF Yost.
OF course the end-running must be
combined with enough of the other
game to keep the enemy guessing. A

THREE APPLICANTS FOR STATE

Speculation has begun already on the possible successor of the late Dr. Shirley BraEEy who was the first and only State Prison and Cotton Mill Inspector of Alabama. The once was erected, by. the last Legislature and the first man to be inducted therein was Dr. Bragg. He had served the State well az physician inspector on the Convict Board; and was promptly appointed by, Governor Conner as soon as 1t was up to him to- fill the. offlce.
 It is a position that carries an annual salary of s2,40o., Occupying 1t. and can make himself very busy. He, must visit at least twice a year, and oftener if he can, every county jail and almshouse In ,Aiabama and hays an eye to the hnmane and just treatment of all the- inmates .theFeof He has general supervision over the sanitary manaGeEnent of the jafls, and must aid In securing the erection of sanitary buildings for the accomoda- tiDn of the inmates.
 After each visit to the counties a detailed report has to be made to the Governor setting out the number of the inmates in each institution and jail, the general health conditions. etc, and whether the money approprt- ated for the care of the inmates is being spent judiciously. He must visit at least times every year every cotton mill or factory in Alabama and thoroughly inspect it. paving in view the age limit of the children fixed by law, thA Yentilating facilities and other things conducive to the health of the working children and other operatives.
 All these things must the successor of Dr. Bragg do. and on this under- standing of the law already there are said to be three applicants for the appointment at the hands of the Governor. They are Dr. E. E. Mans field, of Enterprise. Dr. K. L. Huddles- ton, of Speigners. the latter now In the employ of the Sate Convict Board, and pr, z. T. Craw1ey, of Electric. These gentlemen are said to have been staunch supporters of the Governor,

He has attended to ,alI- the details of the office during the extended absence of the late Dr. bragS in the East ,,,,4t, 1aii as the term Is for four years.
 Doubtless there will be many other applicants for the job before the Governor makes up his mind on the successor of pr. Bragg.

PRESIDENT FINLEY SEES
 IMPROVEMENT IN SOUTH

Washington, Nov. 1.-(Special.)- President Finley of the Southern Rail way Company, who has just returned to Washington from an inspection trip of two weeks over the lines of the system, found evidences of improve ment in business conditions and of a business men throughout the South to take a hopeful view of the future Speaking of the information he had gathered on his trip, Mir. Finley said:
 Prices for pig iron are firmer.- Southern furnaces. as a rule, have sold their product up to the end of the year, and the increasing number. of inquiries for iron warrant the expec- tation that orders will soon be placed for business during the coming year.
 -"Ilumber is more active than for some months past. Especially IS this true of the grades shipped in box cars. The present demand .wil be augmented by increased requirements from rail- ways, principally for car repairs, as some of the railways are contracting with car companies for some Of their heavier repair work.
 one. of the most encouraging signs of riviving industrial activity Is the increasing movement Of steam coal to industrial centers. The unusually warm weather of the present fall is retarding the movement of domestic coal
 The cotton crop Is early. and the fibre is moving, to market In larger volume. than at this time last year, although, as. result of the stagnation which has prevailed in the cotton goods market. prices are lower than a year ago. The demand for cotton seed products is good and they are moving freely.
 E '"rhe domestic market for cotton goods shows indications of gradual im- pfovement. Owing to the accumula- tions of large stocks and to other causes affecting that market there is at present little demand for cotton goods Tn Northern China. Aside from this, the export demand is fairly good. and those mills interested in the north of China trade are looking forward hopefully to a renewal of sales for that market
 ''Grain trafic into tn e South-especially corn-is light. This Is due. in part. to the relatively high price of corn and the low proce of cotton, and in part to the fact that at this season of the year the South is consuming it's own grain.
 Merchandise stocks which had been permitted to run low during the busi- ness depression are being replenished conservatively. Retail trade in the cities Is good, but as a result of the low price of cotton and of a disposi- ton on the part of retailers to buy cautiously for the present jobbing trade is still somewhat restricted. While some lines of business have not yet shown as much improvement as might be wished, I believe that con- ditions generally are decidedly better than at any time since the beginning of the business depression a year ago, and that we have reason to look for ward to a gradual return to a higher level of prosperity"
