CHAPTER XIV.

When Mrs. Franklyn- Haldene rose
from her chair In her hair dresser's
establishment she went into the street.
Before her lay an envelope on the side
walk. Mrs. Franklyn- Haldene picked
1t up and quickly sought her carriage.
Pah! how the thing smelt of sachet
powder. Her aristocratic nose wrin-
killed. In dfsdain. But her curiosity sur
mounted her natural repugnance. The
address was written In a coarse mascu-
line hand. The carriage had gone two
blocks before she found the necessary
courage to open the letter.
Neither Warrington nor Mrs. Jack
was in her thoughts when she opened
the letter, which was signed by Nc
Quade's familiar appellation.
Dear Girl-Tve got them all this
trip. I'll put Bennington on the rack
and wiring Warrington's political neck

How? All, she would now find the
means. He was merely hoodwinking
Patty; II was a trick to be near Mrs.
Jack.

was done. "Now, home" she ordered.

simply had to tell some one OF her dis

Football of the Present Season

Again the hurrying months have
rolled away, leaving us once more at
the beginning of a new football sea-
son and specializing as to the style
and character of the play that will
prevail There is not, however, the
same degree of uncertainty as at the
beginning of the last season, when
the radical changes in the rules made
early in 1910 were as yet absolutely
untried. The football play of last
year was largely experimental, but
the results were sufficiently promis-
ing to warrant the Rules Committee
of 1911 in adhering to the general
open style of play which the new
rules were intended to bring about.
One may be sure, however, that there
will be no dimunition of the interest
and popularity of the game, because
of its modification, for football has
come to be an integrant part of the
modern college spirit If the game
has survived the brutalities and OBJ
jectionable features of past years

CUBS At TER
NEW PITCHERS

CHICAGO, Oct, 2l.-The Chicago
National League Club management has
already started in to rehabilitate its

stood that left-handed twirlers will
be in greatest favor next season with
the Cubs and, following up this idea.
Manager Chance yesterday pur-
chased Walter Maggie, a big left
handler from the Newark Eastern
League Club.
In addition to Nagle, who is the
first "southpaw" signed since the ban

and still has come to be loved as no
other college sport is loved, then
there is little to fear from variations
in the play which tend to make it
faster more open and more spectac-
ular.
The changes made for the season of
1911 are very slight, being intended
to develop still further the general
scheme of reform inaugurated last
year. Among other things, the for
ward pass has been made more at
tractive by lessening the penalties for
incompleted passes. The chief aim,
as before, is to eliminate unnecessary
roughness, doing away so far as pos
sible with the pulling and pushing
that proved so undesirable in the
past The chief problem now is to
devise entirely new tactics for ad-
vancing the ball, and there was
scarcely time for this during the brief
season of play last year. 1t is, in
deed, a new game that is being de-
veloped, and the progress of its evolu-
ton is most interesting.

For this years games a first-clasS
kicker is an essential, together with

appears to have this in a better de-
gree than either Harvard or Prince

dications are that Yale will stick to
old-fashioned football and will not at
tempt the forward pass, except as a
trick or mask play.

OLYMPIC GAMES OF NEXT YEAR

that distance, John Paul Jones and
Mel Shepard will undoubtedly win
honors, though we have several other
worthy competitors who may develop
into Olympic champions by next year.
We have probably the best hurdle
runners in the world, and also, per
haps, the best weight throwers.
In the discus event, Sheridan, Tai
bot and James Duncan may be expect
ed to do between 1875 and 140 feet. Out
side of Babcock, of Columbia, there
are several men who can break all
Olympic records in the pole vault by
seye. al inches, among them Cook,
Coyle and Bellah Similarly, there are
several Americans who should be
able to- do six feet three inches or bet
ter in the high jump. Eddie Beeson,
University of California, is a promis-
ing candidate, for though only in his
first year of college competition he
did six feet three inches in the high
jump, after having already done Is %
seconds for the high hurdles and q
seconds for the low hurdles on the
same afternoon. Then there is Porter
the present Olympic champion, Grum
pelt, ~ Y. A. c., and others nearly in
the same class.
And so it goes. Accordingly with al
the improvement in the athletic stan
dard of other countries, the American
team may be expected to more thar
hold it's own. AS for the marathon
however, we need not be surprised K
find that it has been won by native
of Greenland or of Cairo, so nearly
universal has the practice of athletics
become.
Without a doubt, the revival of the
Olympic games, commencing in 1896
is very largely responsible for this in
terest in athletics all over the world
and the development of championshi
material in all branches in so man
lands. We may say that the wide
spread interest in marathon runnin
is absolutely the result of this revive
of the quadrennial sports of Ancien
Greece, bringing with it such a stimi
lation to cross-country running in gel
eral as would have been impossible Z
bring about in any other way.

world is looking forward with great
interest to the Olympic games of 1912
to be held at Stockholm. With us the
question of greatest interest les> in
the prospective success of the Ameri-
can representatives to be sent over.
Will we carry off the track and field
honors with the same overwhelming
triumphs as in the preceding Olym-
bic games? without doubt the Ameri-
can representatives will win more
than half of the hOnors, but it appears
that they will have more stubborn
competition than heretofore. Other
countries are entering more and more
into the practice of athletic games, de-
/ veloping champions of all kinds.
/ 1t is not so very long ago that we
regarded the English speaking coun.
tries as having almost a monopoly OF
track and field athletes of exceptional
ability, and especially in running
Great Britain seemed to have all the
good long distance runners, and the
United States seemed to lead in most
other branches. And then came win
ners of marathon races from the sup
posed decadent Latin races, from
Greece, Italy and France. And almost
before we could realize it, other mara
thon champions came forth from the
Scandinavian countries. From away
