ARMY WILL PLAY
FOOTBALL AGAIN
Manager Asks for Game
Next Season With
Tufts College.

NEW YORK, Nov. H.--It IS apparent
ly certain that football viii be played at
West Point next year, regardless Of the
unfortunate death Of Cadet Byrne this
fall This became evident today
through the arrangements between the
Army and Tufts College, IN Boston. for
the game which the medical students
play annually with West Point. They
have been asked TO reserve a date on
their 1910 schedule for Army.
But Il Is understood that the invita-
ton to meet the soldiers on the grid
Iron IS surrounded by certain Teserva-
lions, which, while they are not ex-
planned In so many words, mean praC-
tically that the game as II Is now played
must be reformed. II seems evident
therefore. that the Army VIII again lead
the light for real rule revision. as IL
did so very successfully in 1895.

Murphy'S Latest Attempts

NOT YET CERTAIN
HE WILL SUCCEED
Inside Details Of Sale of Phillies
May Unearth Real
Trouble.

NEW YORK. Nov. 27.-"Increasine
brisk westerly winds, eliminating in a
violent Storm" is the National League
weather forecast issued today. The
brisk. westerly winds refers to
Charles Webb Murphy. the nominal
head of the Chicago National League
team, but who is believed to be nothing
more than the representative OF Charles
p. Taft, the Presidents brother, who is
credited with the ownership OF the team.
The storm" feature will break, IL is
generally believed, when the baseball
public learns Of the new attempt to re-
Introduce syndicate baseball into the
National League. as disclosed by the
sale OF the Philadelphia Nationals to n
syndicate in which Murphy and John
T. Brush are leading figures. and the
resulting attempt to Dust John Heydler
as president OF the National League
Hermann Is Sore.
Forerunners OF the storm are already
heard in the mutterings Of discomfort
from Garry Hermann, the Cincinnati
magnate and chairman OF the national
commission: Ban Johnson, president or
the American League and a member Of
the commission. and from other points
on the baseball map, where fair play is
considered a greater asset than petty
politics
The capture Of Philadelphia by the
Brush-Murphy combine viii give the
syndicate five votes and the control Of
the National League, provided Ebhets,
Of Brooklyn, and Robinson, Of ST. Louis,
live up to their reported promise TO sup
port Murphy In his fight TO get rid OF
Heydler. II is not at all certain they
will do this. Ebbetts is reported as
saying that Murphy is trying 10 euchre

services OF Johnny King Tor the Pnll-
adelphia deal has as one of it's angles
the securing of King - manage the
new Quakers.
Are After King.
Kings announcement that he Is
Through with baseball is not taken
seriously, meaning simply that he Is
through unless his salary demands are
met
The real fight viii come should IL be
discovered that both the New York and
Chicago Clubs are interested financially
in the philadelphia team and that
BROOKLYN and st. Louis are being played
as Dawns by Brush and Murphy and
sPresident Fogel" Of the made-Over
Ouakers. This would be a reveTsion TO
methods once employed in the Nauonai
League, which placed the organization
IN disrepute. .
If the new alignment goes through Il
will mean not only the deposition or
Hevdler. but also OF Herman as a
member Of the national commission, as
with both Heydler and Herman on
the commission. the syndicate would be
oalFed at every turn.

WOMAN MOTORIST

Auto Drivers.
By HARRY WARD.

fair motorist IN Minneapolis has
started a popular movement by suggest
ing that some sort Of c. .. D. signal be
ADOPTED for use in emergency. This
was prompted by a recent occurrence
in which an automobile was laid up on
a side road about a quarter of q mile
from the main-traveled road. Cars went
flashing by in the night and the strand
ed ones were unable to attract the at
tention of the passing parties. A c. Q.

tached headlight would have. in this
