MANY NOVELTIES PREDICTED
In THIS YEARS FOOTBALL
Coaches of Big College Elevens Ex-
Pected to Spring Startling Play
To Develop Forward Pass.

II the football season of 1908 does
not produce several times as much
novelty and science in the way of new
plays as any of its predecessors 1t
Will not be the fault of the coaches
and players who represent the east
ern big Five"-Yale, Harvard, Prince
ton, Pennsylvania and Cornell. At
every one of these institutions there
has been shown a disposition to rush
the season. documentary knowledge
OF the game is not being ignored, but
1t is being rushed along and made sub
sidiary to the strategic side of the
game. That this is so is proven con-
cluslvely by the manner in which vet
eran players Of former days have been
Hooking back to assist in building up
new offensive tactics.
The forward pass is certain to be
productive Of the most startling
revolutions this fall. Without ex-
ception all these coaches are work
Ing with 1t as the basis of their new
plays. 1t has now been a part of the
rules for two years, but this time has
been required to familiarize players
with its basic principles Its POSSIBLE
tiles have not by any means been ex-
plored to their limit
Accuracy in throwing and catching
the forward pass will be the keynote
to success with this play this fall.
When the play was first introduced 1t
did not matter whole lot how much
accuracy there was in the play, be-
cause it was In such an indiscriminate
manner. Then the play was used very
much as the resort of the weaker and
inferior team, which trusted largely
to luck In making the play a success.
But this year a team is so restricted
IN the use Of the play that it must
be developed to high degree of per-
lection to be a winner. First en-
phasis must be placed on develop
ing several players who can throw
the ball any given distance with
enough speed and accuracy to en-
able one of his team mates to re-
cover it without fumbling. The
change in the rules, whereby a FUN
bled forward pass can be recovered
only by the player who fumbled it on
the passer's side. makes this point
doubly important
1t has been one of the inexplicable
things Of modern football that so
much poor passing and poorer catch
ing Of the forward pass should be toll
Grated by up-to-date coaches. At any
rate coaches appear to have realized
the handicap this weakness has been
to winning teams, and we may look

Mendinu Silk STOCKINGS.

Silk stockings are an expensive lux
ury. The first cost is considerable
and they do not stand hard wear
When the first stitch breaks their
beauty is much impaired, if not &C
tually destroyed. That one tiny break
rapidly runs down the length of the
stocking, and if not quickly mended
the open strip speedily widens and the
case is hopeless. The usual way oil
mending is to sew the raveled edges
together with over and over stitch
This may stop further raveling, but
even with the greatest care there
will be a rough seam, very conspicu
Gus on the plain part Of the stocking
and most unsightly on any part. A bet
ter way, which only requires patience
is to pick up the stitches and crochet
the edges together with a fine needle
and fine silk of the same color. This
seam then will never be noticed by
anyone but the wearer.

Chase Will Remain Outlaw.

If reports from San Jose, CAL, are
correct appearances indicate that Hal
Chase, the former first baseman of the
Yankees, who quit the team the latter
part of last month to return to his
California home, intends to make good
his statement that he was through
with the east and major league base
ball. 1t is said that the Boston Amer
lean league team, through its western
agent, had made Chase good offer to
join that club.
According to report the Red Sox
management went SO far as to offer
the first baseman the captaincy and
managership of the team for next sea-
son If he would refrain from playing
outlaw ball and join the ranks under
John /. Taylor. Chase is said to have
turned down the proposition and re-
iterated his farewell statement.

PASSING OF JOE CANS
ENDS VARIED CAREER
lCoiored Wonder, Always a Figure In
Lightweight Championship,
Now a Has-Been.

The sun of fame set on one of the
most spectacular pugilistic careers in
the history of the prize ring when
,Nelson-a mere physical entity, per-
isonified iron jaw, an embodied punch
tester, quantity which might be
stamped with little more than the
purely physical-for the second time
closed the last chapter in the history
iof this famous colored fighter at
lColma.
Cans was a real factor. He stands
out before the world as a man who
was self-confessed cheater, a person
who bartered even his own good name
for the chance Of little loose change,
- prevaricator and stronger than that,
and for everything that in pugilist
sof integrity Is considered impossible.
Yet, from the flames of his past,
scieansed In the eyes of the public, he
won back the championship. Not only
that, but, despite his color, he was
"a popular fighter, and won his way in
to the game as an able exponent of it.
Exposure of dishonesty in almost
ANY sport, professional or amateur,
Is certain to be followed by loss of
reputation and standing and ultimate
oblivion; yet Cans not only survived
his own story of his early shortcom-
1ngs, but was never more popular in
his entire career than after he told
lthe San Francisco newspapers how
he had cheated the public in the Nc
Govern, Britt and other contests.
The mind of man fails to fathom
such things. 1t may be possible that
the fighter was among that number
OF great history makers whose ability
at his one specially was such that
his shortcomings In other respects
were condoned.
Pugilistically, Cans died at the age
OF 34-not SO advanced a period of
life but that he might have been sup
posed to have retained his best form.
'Fitzsimmons did it at much later
stage of his career But then the
freckled one was 81 years of age when
he entered upon his real ring career,
whereas Cans was but Is years old
when he began to attract attention.
Since that time Cans has been fight
ing for his livelihood and the end
OF seesaw approximates the story
of his life In the ring.
For years Cans has been a light
weight champion factor, but his cele-
brated relapses continually prevent
ed him from rising to any safe degree
of celebrity. Years ago he was be-
llieved to be the best man in the world
at his weight. He always had the
edge on Frank Erne, who was then
champion, but Cans lost to him the
first time through manipulation, ac-
lcording to Cans own story. When
they subsequently met again. Cans
put it over the clever white boy in
one round.

Handy Bottle Holder.

A convenient way to keep bottles
of favoring extract where they will
not be knocked over and broken, as is
SO often the case when they are kept
in the kitchen cupboard, is to nail a
narrow strip of wood on the inside
of the cupboard door. not quite the
width of the door, supported at each
end by small block, making the
width of the space between the strip
and the door the width of the bottles.
Another strip of wood about one
inch square is nailed one and one-half
inches below for the bottles to. rest
upon.
Slip the bottles between the door
and the upper strip of wood, with the
label side out, and you have perfect.

BIRTHDAY CAKES.
Heme-Made Boards Of Novel Design
for Serving Them.


In some families where there are
several children and birthday ami
versaries come around every month
or 20 birthday cake board is made
to serve for each celebration, which
Is observed by the making of large
most impossible to find In the shops
such. board as Is needed to hold the
cake and display 1t to the best adj
vantage, so some sisters of the little
ones have designed their own birth
day cake boards with great success.
A novel one of home made design
and construction was cut from a wide
board and measured over two feet in
diameter. 1t was covered with crepe
paper and holes were bored an inch
or so apart for holding the small
birthday candles. A pickering border
of pink or yellow candlelight gave an
effective appearance to the cake sur
roundings. The real birthday can
dies, of the right number, were placed
on top of the cake, each one being set
in delicate pink or yellow rosebud
holder.
A more elaborate cake board was
somewhat smaller in circumference,
not over two feet, and 1t was raised
en- small but substantial legs, so that
the board itself stood three inches
above the table. There was a fat
covering of pink crepe paper over the
top and sides of the board and a Dor
der or edge that was made of double
width of the paper frilled around the
edge of the board, then pulled out SO
that it looked as though the board
had been partly buried In huge flow
er petals. The frilled paper stood up
little above the level of the board.
and inside of the petal border quite
close to the edge was fastened a row
of crepe paper roses that lay rather
fiat and appeared to nestle under the
wide petal border. The roses were ar
ranged so closely together that the
petals touched and sometimes over
tapped.

CUE KNIGHTS STIRRING
Well Known Billiard Experts in Train
ing for Busy Season.

Billiards will be given a great boon
this season by big championship
tournament which is being planned
for the fall months following the cleo
tons. All the professional stars are
getting into shape, and from the ranks
of the shortstops it is expected that
several new men will be brought into
prominence. The falling of Of the
old champions and the rapid advance
of several of the younger generation
Is giving the billiard world a variety
OF changes.
- Jake Schaefer, who has been the
bright particular star for a half cen
fury, has been taking a complete rest
for several months out in the Rockies.
following his breakdown last spring.
Schaefer says his health has consid-
erably improved and that he hopes to
again wrest away the trophy from his
old rival.
Sutton is Just getting in his fall
crops on his Illinois farm and will
soon be back in his Chicago room to
begin his cue practice. Willie Hoppe
who won the 1872 championship trophy
and then returned it because he
wished the conditions changed for
three instead of one night games, has
! been taking things easy since last
spring, and as a result is getting to
,be great strapping youngster. Hoppe
idoes some practice at home, and be.
.lieves that this season he will play
!better billiards than ever.
