WILKINS GETS $4,000.
Wins Big Verdict From D. v. r.
Miss SalmonI Awarded $500.


Damages aggregating $l0,50O were
assessed against the d. u. r. in the
circuit court, Wednesday afternoon.
Attorney Charles T. wilkins was
awarded the larger verdict, being
given $4,000. This Is one of the larg-
est verdicts ever returned against the
ID. U. r. for an injury that did not re-
suit In death. Mr.. wilkins fell from
a Michigan car on Gratiot-ave. about
two years ago. receiving injuries
which kept him in the hospital for
several months, and forced him to
give up his practice for more than a
year. The d. u. r. attorneys say
they will appeal the case to the .su.
preme court.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. wilkins
case the second trial of the case of
| Florence Salmoni against the ID. u.
| r.. was taken up. A jury was selected
and the taking of evidence was about
to begin when an offer OF settlement
was made. After negotiating for an
hour the plaintiff, through her attor-
ney. agreed to accept $4,000, and the
case was withdrawn.
Miss Salmoni is a school teacher,
who was injured with her sister,
Viola, in a collision between Four
teenth cars. At the first trial several
weeks ago the jury disagreed after
being locked up all night. one man
named Daily, holding out against the
girl. Miss Salmoni Is now physical
wreck, unable to walk without
crutches, and scarcely able to move
her arms. She blames her condition
to injuries received in the wreck, but
the ID. U. r. attorneys say her condi-
ton Is due to tuberculosis of the
spine, which developed long after the
accident Viola Salmoni received $500
at a trial several months ago.

BY J. ED GRILLo.

From the time that Walter Johnson,
Clyde Milan. George Mcbride and Char
ley Street joined the local forces the
Washington ball club has been able to
boast of having nucleus for a good
ball team. That a pennant winning
aggregation could be built around this
quartet there is not the slightest doubt,
and that 1T would not require much to
SO strengthen the team with this nu-
cleus to make it a contender for the
first division goes without saying.
Johnson and Milan came here in the
fall of 1907. Street ana Mcbride in
1908. In no two seasons since that
has the local club picked up any play

mentioned. Realizing the possibilities

whole the team has been strengthened.
but not sufficiently to improve it's po-
sition in the race. and while it may
cause the calloused fan to smile, the
prospects for next season really look
brighter than ever before.
There has been no noticeable deteriora-
tiOn IN the teams nucleus. Johnson
Milan, Mcbride and Street. in fact. are
more valuable to the team today than
they We're year ago. But it is not
this improvement alone on which the
should be based. To begin with, a
more up-to-date method of building up
the team seems to have been adopted.
Instead Of trying to fill weak spots
with material which other major
league clubs are willing to part with
the club has shown an inclination to
experiment with youngsters. and as 1t
has been shown in recent years that
every team which has proven success
ful has secured Its strength from this
source the change of system promises
much for the future.
The recent good showing OF the team
has been, and justly so, attributed to the
johnson. who after all is the only con-
sistent performer on McAleer's staf. OF
course. no club can pick up Johnson
every day. but there is no denying the
fact that barring johnson. Walker and
Hughes. and the latter is doubtful

PHILADELPHIA, August IS lin view.
ing the prospects of the various foot ball
teams for the season Of 1911 1t is well
to run briefly over the work Of the fall
Of 1910, and consider not only the indica-
tions therein put forward in the way OF
individual development. but also the out
lines Of team play and strategy that
were foreshadowed by the attempts OF
coaches and captains to devise ground
gaining plays under the very strict limi-
tations Of the changed rules
Ffrst-The excision of pushing and pull
ing rendered the problem of attack far
more complicated. At the same time II
placed a greater premium upon individual
performances in the back field. 1t was
contended, and rightly, that some of the
best team plays Of the past consisted In
the aid thus rendered the runner, not
only in getting him through the line. but
in aiding him after he had passed that
bulwark of the defense.
Some Plays Were Inserted.
To good time player nothing was
prettier than the gathering Of men about
the runner, seizing him, holding him upon
his feet, and by united work. moving that
mass steadily onward for sometimes
many yards before the play could be
broken up by the defense. 1t is no won
der that with the elimination of this the
team play of 1910 seemed crude, and 1t
will be q season or two yet before the
new form OF team play can reach any
perfection that will really satisfy the old
player for the loss of this type of united
efforts.
There were some indications of the
different kind Of teamwork portrayed in
the teams OF the attacking side last sea-
son. and this form will be more marked
as experience aids coaches and captains
in the development. The teamwork of 1911
will show still greater progress along the
line of deceptive movements tending to
put the defense in an awkward position
for meeting what will be the ultimate
opening for the play.
Minneapolis in the west had the start
on these plays through having used that
character Of attack previous to the In
PRODUCTION of the rules of 1910: Brown
in the east, through having begun very
early in the season on plays of this char
acter, acquired better perfection in the
execution OF them than any of the teams
lin her section. Before the season was
ended. however. many teams had turned
to this method. and the plays OF former
years, which leuu themselves uAOSt 1SoOi-
ly to such alterations. were revamped
and brought in.
Mass Plays Eliminated.
Every one recalled. however, that with
this additional and different work which
must be performed by the players there
was a decided compensation in the fact
that the heavy impact OF massed plays
had been eliminated. The spectators
saw more OF the game and could much
better distinguish which player hsA the
ball, and finally, although injuries in
the open were as numerous as ever, those

OF the season where the ends were rem

Backhelds Were Weak.
1t was quite noticeable that the back
fields in most teams were weaker in de-
fense in the second half, and a fresh man
substituted in the fourth period showed
by the contrast how much the work OF
the three previous quarters had played
upon the speed of .he man who bore the
brunt of the attack during those periods
One Of the new problems, therefore, will
be how to conserve the energies OF the
four men upon whom almost solely comes
the strain OF carrying the ball. for 1t is
these very men that must provide the
quick and active defense necessary in
these days OF forward passing, onside
kicks and shifting of the runs.
The onside kick under the new ruling
that it must go twenty yards has been
rendered much less effective as a stand
ard play.
were those which took as great distance
as was safe on this 20-yard zone, rather
than the quick tossing which some had
hoped would come into the game.
Whether this quick. short pass will de-
velop to be very dangerous Is q question
which the season of 1911 must answer.
BY characterizing a play as one that
looks simple from the side lines rather
than is simple. mean to say that often
times a play OF this appearance may re-
quire q great deal of practice. and very
hard practice. in order to develop the
deception, for an opposing defensive play
er may be thrown ever so slightly out of
line as to make it necessary for him to
starting in another direction. 1t may
mean for the attack just that amount Of
leeway necessary to get runner through
at the point which this man, had he not
been thrown or his balance. would have
certainly protected.
Plays That Deceive.
Most of the shift plays. both of last
year and the earlier ones, depended upon
this very slight but very quick deception
practiced upon the defense, and with the
premium so greatly increased by the
very fact that plays OF the old-fashioned
