GOLF VS.. TENNIS.
Comparative Merits Of the Two Sports
Considered.

There NAV be those who viii sec
imitation in Mr. Taft's warm espousa
of golf as a rational means of recreation
1t is an outdoor sport. Mr.. Roosevelt
Is the conspicuous exponent OF outdoor
life in the presidency. Ergo, the presi.
dent-elect Is in this matter following
closely in the footsteps of his predeces-
sor. and hence may be expected to copy
! him in all else. But those who have
| intimate aequaintance with the ancient
and honorable game viii draw very diff
| ferent conclusions In Mr. Taft's selec-
| ton Of an open-sir diversion they will
perceive, not slavish following after
model, but rather a striking departure,
full of significance pressge of the new
order that Ia to begin on March 4.
Mr.. Roosevelt's favcrite game, as all
the world knows, Is lawn tennis, form
Of exercise that is as much like golf
as foot ball is like croquet In the one
the player dashes about q small inelosure
in pursuit of a ball that constantly
seeks to elude him. In the other he
moves sedstely over wide spaces from
hole to hole, following a ball whose
movements he is supposed to direct.
Tennis appeals mainly to youthful ex-
uberance and physical vigor, golf to
powers of selfcontrol, of the mind as
well as of the body. Lovers of the for
mer may maintain that Mr.. Tafts cor
poreal amplitude constrained him to
adopt the more leisurely pastime. vt
golfers will not fail to note that Mr..
Roosevelt is at least as well fitted to
swing the club as the racquet, and see
in his choice, eontrasted with Mr.. Taft's,
a significant intimation Of divergence of
character,
In the heat Of the campaign, after Mr..
Taft's prediction had been discovered,
golf threatened to become an issue in
the assertion that he had taken up "a
rich mans game" With characteristic
thoroughness, he repealed the charge at
the time, and he now returns TO 1t by
reminding those who would fasten upon
his favorite sport the stigma of exelus
ivenass that in Scotland it is played
generally by the populace, and in this
country it's devotees are becoming more
numerous every year" He might have
recalled the fact that as long ago as
l457 the Scotch parliament was so
alarmed at its prevalence that it or
dained that golf be utterly cryit down
and nocht used, and that James ~,
himself fair player, sought to divert
public attention to more serious OBJ
jects by proclaiming that lin ma place
Of the realme there be usit futeball,
collie. or other ilk improbable sports,
under pain Of fourtie shillinges" So
common was the game century later
that even in Edinburgh, where religious
observance has always been strict, the
town council found 1t improbable to
stop golf on Sundays except 'in TYNE Of
sermons
Students Of this sort Of history may
infer that rich Scotchmen
ike Andrew Carnegie play golf in spite /
Of their wealth rather than because Of It, /
and no one who l. familiar with the
growth Of the game in this country win
fear that Mr. Taft viii be obliged TO look |
to men ike John D. Rockefeller for a 1
game when ne wants to play-New York |
Globe.

He participated in two great reyolu-

the commissioners sent to Washington
to advise as to a practical method for
dissolving the revolutionary army
In August, 1906, General Gomez was
arrested, charged with conspiring
against the administration Of the late
President Palma. but he denied the al.
legation and was released from custody
after months imprisonment
At $3.50 p. M, incomplete official re-

YALE,s GREAT COMEBACK.
Defeated Princeton in the Last Few
Minutes of Game.

Princeton, N. j., Nov l8.--With snow,
hail and rain falling alternately on a
slippery gridiron Yale defeated Princeton
in the annual foot BAN game here Satur-
day by score of III to 6. Thirty
thousand spectators surrounded the battle
field and saw one Of the most sensational
games on record. At the end of the
first half the score stood 6 to in favor
of Princeton, due to a superbly made
touchdown by 'ribbott and clever goal
kicked by Waller. Up to that point
Princeton clearly outplayed Yale and
looked a winner, but with the same old
grit and reserve strength which have won
many feet ball struggles for the New
haven university Yale came back in the
second half with wonderful brace.
BY shrewd generalship Yale for the
first time began to use Coy, the great
est foot ball player in America to-day.
Il was tlis young giant, aided by ire
sissime interference on the part Of
Brides, Goebel and other Yale men, who
tore the Prince defense 10 tatters and
made two touehdowns. from one Of which
Hobbs kicked goal.
Ysle's superior physical condition slso
helped TO carry the day. for though
Prineeton's powerful rush line was in
viBcible in the first half. it gradually
erumbled before the terrific attacks
which the Yale warriors sent against it.
Yais's play was ragged at the outset,
but as the coaches made changes in
the lineup the team became stronger
and more aggressive, until at the fin
ish the Blue players swept al before
theua.

HAAS COMMITS SUICIDE.
AssaiIant Of Attorney Heney Shoots
Himself at The San Francisco Jail.

San Francisco, Nov. 16.--Morris Haas
who shot Francis j. Heney Friday, com.
mitted suicide at the county jail satur.
day night by shooting himself through
the head. One report says that the
pistol with which Haas shot himself
vas concealed in his hoe, where he hid
report says the pistol was secretly
passed to Haas by friend since his
Incarceration.
Gained by the assurance that Assist
ant District Attorney Francis J. Heney
who was shot Friday in Justice Law
Ior's court room al San Francisco, while
in the performance of his duty, is TO
recover from his wound, public opinion
was turned yesterday toward express
ion OF determination to continue with
the trial Of those indicted on charges
OF municipal corruption in the prose
eution of which Mr. Heney has been
the dominant character. Several leading
attorneys Of the city have volunteered
to take up Mr.. Heney's work as mat.
ter Of public duty, and carry it to q
conclusion.
The trial Of Abraham Ruef, which
was interrupted by Fridays dramatic
shooting. will be resumed tomorrow, it
having been decided that the events in
the court room did not prejudice the
rights OF the defendant, the jury not
being present. There was some intima
ton yesterday that the defence would
ask for change OF venue, basing their
plea on the inhamed condition Of the
public mind, but it Is thought that
such request would not be considered
by Judge Lawlor. At conferences yes
tsrday between Judge Lawlor and the
police preliminary steps were taken to
secure the court from further disorder
and to safeguard the rights of Defend
ant Ruef. The vicinity of the court
will be patrolled and large force Of
police win be held in reserve. The plans
further provide that in the event Of
any disturbance The defendant will be
quickly and quietly taken from the
court room 1t rs intimated that Judge
fawlor win exercise his prerogative and
continue to keep Ruef in custody dur
ing the trial.

In the End
BROWN DOWNS VERMONT
Amherst and williams Have Practice
Games--cornell and Chicago Wage
Drawn Battle--CoIlege Results
Summarized.

Saturdays gridIron contests resulted
about as expected, although both Yale
and Harvard had 10 come back strong
in the second half in order to win.
Once again Yale team has shown that
il can turn defeat into victory, although
outplayed in the opening period. A year
ago Yale was not dismayed when Prince
ton had a lead Of 10 points, and the
Princeton OF Saturday was not as strong
as its predecessor Except for the won
derful work of Tibbott, 1t showed little
scoring power. Yale grit and Drawn won
out, and incidentally Coy wiped out the
stain which caused his removal from
fullbaek TO end. He was all over the
field on the defense, and almost impos-
sible 10 stop when carrying the ball.

cd sustained power that has been lacking
in recent Harvard slevena, and which
augurs i'll for Yale next Saturday. The

opponents knew little more foot ball,

together. The team was in reality
team, firmly welded and polished.
In the middle West few believed that
Pennsylvania would roll up 20 points
against Michigan. but the Yost band
was clearly outplayed. At the same
time Cornell and Chicago were struggling
in 6-to-6 battle, in which the lighter
players Of the Illinois city succeeded
