New York, Dee. S.-Negotiations
have been opened by the Garden A. q.
for 10-round bout between Freddie
Welsh. lightweight champion of Eng
land. and either Packy Mcfarland or
Willie Richie. AS Billy Nolan, Ritch-
les manager, has demanded $4,000
guarantee for a bout here, it is more
probable that Mcfarland will be Sc
lected to meet the Englishman.
Welsh has been notified that he can
have q percentage. while Mcfarland
is ready to accept any reasonable
terms. If Welsh decided to box Nc
Farland, he will sail from England,
next week, so the bout can be staged,

Seasons Games
Show Great Gain
To Football Game


more of the seasons big games-in-
GLIDING the Yale Harvard, Harvard
Dartmouth and cony- Gardiner-one
is forced to the conclusion that foot
ball as played under the revised rules
is better game and a better sport
than at any time since well-meant
effort was made some seven or eight
years ago to shear it of plays that
opened the way to serious accident.
1t was no easy task TO remodel the
game while preserving its salient
features, and it Is not surprising that
the evolution came only after much
study and much experimenting. There
is a vast difference between theory
and practice, and only by degrees was
Ii possible for the members of the
rules committee to work out code
that would silence criticism to
large extent and bring about game
that would be attractive to both play
ers and onlookers. 1t begins to look
as if the meeting of the rules COM
mittee this winter would be a love
feast for the first time in many years
and that no changes in the rules will
be necessary except In minor details,
which will amount to little more than
editing.
Far More Natural.
The more important games played
during this season showed clearly
that football is far more natural than
in the last two or three years: that
a better balance had been struck be-
tween the attack and the defence
that a greater continuity exists, more
so even than in the old days of push
ing and pulling with only five yards
to go in four downs or three tries,
and that an opportunity has been
provided for proper expression of
offensive strength and the fulfilment
of the true purpose of any sport
reward for the better team. There is
no comparison between the game
played last year and this. The de-
fence is no longer so strong as to be
cut of all proportion TO the attack
II is now possible to gain ground By
straight rushing. even when teams
are evenly matched, and to gain this
ground as readily inside the 25-yard
line as in midfeld. No longer is it
necessary to depend upon some wild,
haphazard play or an off chance to
score. The running game has been
encouraged, but not at the expense of
punting and drop kicking or even,
one may say of forward passing. 1t
is true that there is less punting and
drop kicking than a year ago, but
this is as il should be, as they had
assumed an Importance far beyond
their relatives value in the game of
American college football, as original
~ designed. The good punter, the
good drop kicker. are still most ne
cessary parts of the game this year
but not so all important as TO over
shadow line plunging and end run
ming.

ALL MOST HARMONIOUS
POINT TO BE REMEMBERED
ABOUT DRESS ACCESSORIES.
Ornamental Handbags, for One Thing,
Called For by the Seasons Styles,
May Be Easily and cheapIy
Made at Home.

The variations of fashion are no
where more noticeable than in the &C
cessories OF dress Each season shows
great amount of thought given to
the small details which combined pro-
duce a perfect costume. The en-
tire effect Of a handsome imported
gown can be lost if the handbag does
not harmonic with II.
To be strictly modish, one mhst
carry handbags TO match each gown.
This is an expensive luxury to the
woman who has to purchase every ar
ticle Of clothing; but to the clever
needlewoman, who is the envy Of her
less talented sisters, 1T only means fas-
cinating handwork to be done at odd
moments Many of the most expensive
handbags can be duplicated at little
expense. Moire, velvet and soft
leather, IL jeweled, braided or en-
broidered at home, compare very ia
vorably with those sold In the exclu-
sive shops.

COMFORT IN KITCHEN
MODERN INNOVATIONS DO AWAY
WITH MUCH LABOR.
Iime-saving Appliances Have Been
introduced and Become General
Fireless Cook Stove Proves
Genuine Boon.

Nowadays the men who make
things have turned their attention to
providing the home, and especially
the kitchen, with as efficient labor and
time saving appliances and tools as
an up-to-date factory can boast The
modern kitchen can be a thing OF
beauty and Joy even TO the woman
who works in it. so great have been
the improvements made.
Take, for instance, the evolution OF
the hreless cook stove, a miracle work
ing continuance which banishes heat,
steam, smells and standing over the
stove watching the slow, tedious cook
ing process.
Lined with seamless aluminium, rust
proof, tarnish proof and durable uten-
sis to use with it, and a cunningly
contrlyed steam valve attachment
which allows the roasting of meats
and fowls, the baking of bread and
pies, as we'll as boiling and stewing.
1t is indeed wonderful convenience
All that is necessary is to heat the
soapstone radiators either on a gas
or electric stove. Then the food,
meats, vegetables, or whatever is to
De cooked-cooks Just as it is, and
1t is forgotten until the clock says it
should be done.
1t probably isn't known that every
branch and variety of the cooking art
can be successfully employed with the
fireless cook stove.
The earlier models of these cook
ers showed very cumbersome box
that took up a lot of space in a small
kitchen, but they have now been re-
duced to occupy waste space, and
some of the later designs show them
swinging on hinges under the kitchen
table. where they may be pushed out
of sight and out of the way while the
rest of the meal is being prepared.
Another innovation for kitchen eff.
cheney is u porcelain table with round
ed corners and edges, which is seam
less, unbreakable and unchippable
and at once becomes a molding board
for pie baking or meat board or
bread board for cooking and slicing.
