SPOUTS BY THE
SPORTING EDITOR

An able defense of Intercollegiate
football, by A. l.. Castle, appears in
this mornings Tiser. The defense
is all that could be asked and II COW
ers the ground thoroughly; the only
unfortunate thing about the whole
AFFAIR is that any defense should he
necessary.
No finer game than intercollegiate
football was ever made up. IL Is the
result of years Of play and study by
healthy, sports-loving American
youths. As Mr.. Castle points out, II
calls for team work, concerted ac-
ton, rather than individual brillian-
cy. In fact, about the worst thing
that was ever urged against man
In the eyes of coach Is that he Is n
"grandstand player"
intercollegiate teaches the lesson
Of the subordination of self-interest
to the welfare of the many: II teach
es the lesson of patriotism in con-
crete form.
That the prohibition against inter-
collegiate football on the Pacific
Coast will be permanent, no one VIII
believe. One very small section OF
the United States cannot hope to
foist an unpopular movement on the
rest of the country.
But there is reason behind the
whole thing. 1t Is not the danger OF
injury. No one stops travelling be-
cause railroad wrecks mangle and
kill an appalling number of ptople
every year; hunting is not placed I'M
der the. ban because some mans hun
ter gets poor footing on the take
OF side and his rider comes crop
per over a brush-capped wall that
breaks his neck; they don't say
stop the game" when a polo player
is smashed by his pony or has his
skull fractured in n melee of flying
hoofs. ..
The reason here is easily found.
The father of the man that follows
the hounds used to do the same HIM
self. perchance the mother did also.
The older generation has not forgot
ten with what interest II jumped into
tht very sports that the younger is
taking up.
You take man who played or
Harvard or Yale in the memorial
Springfield game of 1S92--the Sport
ing Editor. mentions that because ht
saw 1t and has never forgotten it
do you suppose that when that man.
son reaches young-manhood he is go
ing to find parental objection to hi
playing football? Not at all; tina
man appreciates too well the advan
tages that accrue to youth from ;
course of thorough training on thu
gridiron.
| But, to take the ammunition ava!
from the opponents Of football, it l.
essential that there be az littl'
chance for complaint as possible. I
lis not necessary to emasculate tn
game, but 1t Is necessary that ther,
BIT no undue rowdyism and that tn
rules be carefully observed.

WEIGHT ONLY NOV
STANDS IN WAY
SULLIVAN AND MILLER ARE
NEARING AGREEMENT
If Soldier Agrees to Limit Set by the
Coast Lad, Mill May Be Held Within
Next Three or Four Weeks - Both
Men in Fine Trim

The question of weight is appar-
emily the only hitch that can hold
up the proposed mill between Soldier
Miller of Fort Shafter and Dick Sui
ivan. Both men are willing md
anxious to fight. and both appear to
be In fine fettle.
Miller deposited 500 with Jack
Scully yesterday as evidence that he
is not shouting simply to enjoy the
sound Of his own voice. and Sullivan
has expressed his willingness to
meet the soldier on practically any
equitable terms. Sullivan demands
that weight be limited to 154 pounds,
the men to weigh in at s o'clock In
the afternoon. Whether Miller can
make that weight or not is ques-
ton.
Miller seems anxious to have the
mill take place at once; while Sulli-
van wants few weeks to get into
shape. calling attention to the fact
that he has been of the steamer but
a short time and has not had u
chance to get acclimated.
The matter will probably be set
tied this evening and the date for
the contest set. II Miller feels that
he can make l54 pounds. and still
be in 1T condition. It is not unlikely
that the contest may be arranged for
n date within the next three or four
! weeks.

Los Angeles, Nov. 2.-Able Attell,
featherweight champion of the world,
and Freddie Welch, lightweight cham.
pion OF Great Britain, will meet In a
scheduled fifteen.round battle at Yer
non next Thanksgiving evening.
The match Is considered to be a
meeting between two of the fastest
and cleverest boxers In the world to-
day. For the past three days the two
local fight clubs have been deadlocked
with Attell and WEIGH on terms. The
Jeffries Athletic Club played its trump
card tonight by guaranteeing Attell
~ 600 for his end, win, lose or draw.
Moving pictures will be made of the
battle. The fight promoters and WEIGH
VIII alone control the American and
Great Britain rights to the pictures.
Attell will have no interest In them.

MACHINE BREAKS DOWN
AND HIS MAJESTY WALKS

Rome, Oct. 3l.-King Victor's re.
cent automobile accident, although not
at all serious, placed that monarch In
most undignified position. The full
story of the adventure is now first
published.
The royal motor car. conveying his
Majesty and aide-de.camp, ran into a
dry ditch four feet deem near Piacenza.
The jerk threw the King, who was In
the tonneau. head downward to the
floor When the aide and the chauf.
ieur picked themselves up from the
road, they saw only the royal legs
protruding from the machine.
Having been hauled out, none the
worse, King Victor helped in tho
search for new conveyance and for
horses to drag the damaged car to the
nearest railroad.
Eventually team of oxen was
hitched to the auto, while the King
and his companions rode In dilapi
dated farm wagon. This kind of ad.
venture is quite to the taste OF King
Victor, who delights In motoring be-
cause It allows him to preserve Il strict
incognito and brings him into touch
with the people as they really are.

INSURANCE

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. g.
Earthquake clauses" in insurance
policies of WEIGHING insurance
companies" was given a singing
blow in the United States court
of appeals, and men whose suits
for insurance money that has been
held up since the earthquake are
today preparing to bring action to
collect.
The case decided was the ap-
peal of the Leon Willard Co.
against the Williamsburg City Fire
Insurance Co. A decision of Judge
Van Fleet was upheld. The policy
read that the company is not liza
BILE to loss caused directly or in
directly by invasion, or for loss by
or through any volcano, earth
quake or hurricane"
The company showed that the
property in question was burned
by fire starting from another
building that could be traced to
the earthquake. The court held
that if the policy was intended to
except causes of this kind the
words directly or indirectly
should have been used in the
earthquake clause as used in the
invasion clause.

For 80 years he has devoted HIM
self to the public service, and the
record of his achievements give
assurance of his ability to measure
up to any further honors and re-
sponsibilities that may come to
him.
Taft was born in Cincinnati in
1857. He passed through Yale col
lege in 1878 and was admitted to
the bar in 1880. He had spent a
year as a newspaper reporter which
he was appointed prosecuting at
torney. Nine years later he was
solicitor general of the United
States. In 1892 he was appointed
United States circuit judge and
held that position until President
{, Mckinley called him in 1900 to
shoulder the responsibility of es-
tablishing American government
in the Philippines. During the last
four years he has been secretary
of war and leading figure in han
ding most of the big questions
that have been raised at Washing
ton.
Secretary Taft was asked to give
for the readers OF this newspaper
IL reasons why the republican
party should receive popular sup
port at this years election. Here
is his response:
/. Because the republican party
represents the policies essential to
the reform of known abuses and to
the continuance of liberty and true
prosperity.
2, Because, sympathizing with
and supporting the policies of
Theodore Roosevelt, the republican
party passed the so-caled rate bill,

the republican leadership with a
rugged force of character, honesty
that has never been questioned
and experience in dealing with ma

lbeen excelled by his predecessors
on the party ticket. His sparkling
bluexeyes and pleasant smile re-
fleet a fund of good nature that is
almost inexhaustible. But there is
another side that prompts him to
stand as a giant in support Of what
The deems to be right. That he is a

3. Because the high moral
standard set will not be observed
continuously by those whom GU
pidity and desire for financial
power may tempt, unless the re-
quisite machinery is introduced
into the law which shall in it's
practical operation maintain these
standards and secure the country
against departure from them.
The hope of the people for such
legislation lies in the success of the
republican party.
L. Because the chief function of
the next administration is to clnch
what has already been done. I'm
der republican administration
that chief function will be acknowl-
edged and executed.
5. Because it is the mission Of
the republican party to compel the
trusts to conduct their business in
a lawful manner and secure the
benefits of their operation and the
maintenance of the prosperity Of
the country of which they are an
important part; not to extirpate
and destroy the entire business in
order to stamp out the evils which
they have practiced.
6. Because it is the intention Of
the republican party so to control
large aggregations of capital and
combinations as to give to the pub
| lie the advantage of reasonable
prices and so as to keep open the
avenues of enterprise to the indi-
vidual and the smaller corporation
wishing to engage in business
7. Because, in order that pros
perity may be restored, the conf
dence of the public must be enlist
ed, a confidence that cannot be
aroused save by the continuance of
the policies to which the republi-
can party stands committed.
s. Because, If maintained at the
head of the affairs of the nation,
the republican party will begin
promptly upon the incoming of the
new administration a revision of
the tariff, based on the republican
doctrines of protection, and so pro-
viding that tariff shall be i'm
posed on all imported products,
| whether of the factory, farm or
mine, sufficiently great to equal the
difference between the cost of pro-
duction abroad and at home, so as
to maintain the higher wages paid
in this country and reasonable
profit to the American producer
9. Because the republican party
has sought to secure for the wage
Garner equality of opportunity and
such statutoryprotection as shall

railroads, has established an eight
hour law for government employees
and on government construction. a
law requiring safety appliances on
interstate commerce railroads and
has shown an earnest desire at
