to compensate the ends for such good
work, made the ruling which puts the
kicking team onside the moment the
bali strikes the ground.
Status of Quarterback Kick.
The quarterback kick sometimes Is
called an onside kick II he is in front
of the backs when he punts. But
generally the quarterback kick is
made by this player receiving the ball
from the center and running to either
side, and then by a side swing boot
ing it down the field. or of to one
side Sometimes II is licked straight
down the field, but generally OF to
either side.
Both forms OF kicks are used a
great deal this season and the short
onside punt Is proving a great play
with teams which have taken the
trouble to perfect II, and those coach
es who are not aware of its advant-
ages will have to wise up and learn
the strong points Of this play.

T., and the entire family moved to
that place afterwards to be the scene
OF the first musical triumph of the
remarkable singer who Is the subject
of this article While yet a mere
child. Madame Jones developed a
voice of such remarkable power and
quality that she attracted the atten-
ton OF tn musical people OF Provi-
dence and no concert was complete
without her. Her voice in its early
stages was a decided contralto, and
even today contains the velvety rich
ness noticeable only In the voices of
such singers as Scalchi and others.
While singing in concert at the San
Sonci gardens she received an invita-
ton TO go TO New York and sing for
Abbey, schoeffel & Grau. She sang
at Wallack's theater and her success
was such that she was Immediately
engaged for a tour of South America
and the West Indies. This engage
ment lasted for two years, and the
tour was so successful that upon her
return to this country, Madame Jones
was engaged as the stellar attraction
of the enormous jubilee spectacle at
the Madison Square Garden In SO.
Her success at this concert was so
pronounced that the New York CLIP
per, an important theatrical paper,
gave her the name by which she has
become world famous, THE Black
Patti" This engagement was fol-
lowed by a concert tour In conjunc-

FOOTBALL.


Chicago, Nov. 11.-Considerable
discussion has arisen among those not
intimately familiar with the finer
points OF THE came about an onside
kick and a quarterback kick. Be
cause Of this continued uncertainty
the point viii be made as clear as
possible.
There IRE two kinds Of onside
kicRs. One is when the three backs
are behind the quarterback or any
other man when me ball is kicked.
These players, being back OF the ball
when IL h kicked. are onside and can
recover the ball without It's having
touched tho ground. The quarter
generally Is the one who kicks the
ball, and II is always kicked OF to
either side, and the kicker delays as
long as possible to allow the backs 10
get out in the open where they can
catch the ball. The kick gets its
name from the fact that the players
were back of the ball when kicked
OF were onside. Consequently it is
called the onside kick.
Another Onside Kick.
The other form OF the onside kick
Is when the ball Is punted down the
fed from the regular punt forma-
ton The moment the ball strikes
the ground the kicking side Ii put
onside and the oval becomes public
property for any player save the one
who kicked It. Tho punter may not
recover the ball untfl II has touched
one of the opposing team.
In former years the kicking side
could not recover the ball until 1t had
coached an opponent. Consequently
II frequently happened that a player
would run alongside the oval until he
was sure OF recovering II. This did
