CRACK KIcKERs BIG ASSETS
clded Advantage h Football, but Are Hard to Find.

When estimating the strength of a baseball team many fans are apt to be influenced by the supposed strength of tic pitching staff Many crack team is strong in all depart ments except in the box and as a re suit is not able to nose out inferior teams which have a star corps Of twirlers,
 In football the man who takes the place of tho baseball pitcher might bo said to be the kicker. It is doubtful If the pitcher in baseball is quite aa important to his team as is a sensa- tional kicker in football.
 In football, as the game is now played, the kicker is most important factor. More kicking is done in one game nowadays than was done in a dozen games ten years ago. In the old days practically all the scoring was done via the touchdown route. Now, field goals are just about as ire quent as the touchdown and are pos sible when the touchdown is out of the question.
 The present playing code allows the backfield to help the defensive play of the line when close to their own goal, while the team on the offense has no more latitude than when in the mid dle of the field. In fact, one offensive play, the onside kick, Is eliminated after the ball is advanced to their op- ponents' twenty-yard line.
 Therefore, many a team Is able to carry the ball up to certain point at which the defense seems to brace and 1t becomes a great deal more diff ficult to gain. Then the kicker is called into play. With either arep or place kick is score possible.
 Just as the drop and place kicker is important, so is the punter. When the goal is in danger it is up to the punter to kick the ball out of danger, and the result of his efforts in many cases may decide some close-fought contest
 Formerly the punter was taught to kick for distance only. Now he must not only get the distance but must be able to place his kicks. That the kicks should be placed by the punter is most essential, as 1t is of great as. sistance in helping his teammates in recovering the ball.
 A good punter has been known to make the team on the strength of his kicking alone, and several times in the history of the game has man. able to send the ball over for field goal been carried all season, and sent in to decide a championship game by his drop or place kicking.
 When these facts are common proper ty it does not seem strange that star kicker should be so scarce. At the present time real sensational booters can be numbered on the fingers of the hand. This is not because of the fact that the coaches do not try to develop kickers, for such is not the case. Many are prone to believe that kick CTS are born. not made, and while a fair kicker may be developed, the stars are generally men who show ability right from the start.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Dec. 2.-The cotton day with prices. selling off sharply ua- der more or less general liquidation and bear pressure which appeared to be encouraged by continued talk of full ginning returns and reports of freer southern spot offerings The close was weak and from F to 33 points net lower. The market opened at decline of 12 to 15 points and quickly sold off to a net loss of IS 70 21 points in response to disappoint- ing cables and reports of an easier spot basis in Texas. The decline was checked by buying and the market ral- lied several points from the lowest during the middle of the morning on report from a local firm making the ginning to Dec. 1, 1,549 900 bales The market met great deal of co.- ton on the bulge, however, and toward midday weakened again on rumors that the final figures of the National Ginners' association showed II 1,S50,000 bales to Dec. 1. Another bulge of eight or nine points followed on claims that these rumors could not be con firmed and third private ginning re- port of 11,703,000, but the market con. tinqed to meet heavy selling of long cotton and liquidation became extreme ly active and general in the last hour, with the close at practically the low est of the day. It was estimated tha. various interests sold at least 100000 bales nere during the day. Liverpool the decline there to easier offerings, continental liquida- ticn and the influence of crop esti- mate from New Orleans placing the yield at 13,975,000 bales.

Soft New Porcelalns.

Have you seen the fascinating Dan. ish porcelains in soft gray and white that are being she .i in interesting vases candlesticks and fruit bowls?
 One attractive piece that could do duty for flowers or fruit is Danish peasant girl in her native costume. with quaint cap and sabots. Her frock is gray, her apron, cap and sabots white. She leans gracefully forward, apparently walking. and drags beside her great baskets. each fully six inckes in diameter, or piaited gray and white porcelain.
 Besides the beauty of this vase, it permits delightful effects with short stemmed flowers. and is especially graceful as center piece filled with purple and white grapes, or blue plums and green gages.

 At the regular meeting of tae city council last night this positive stand was announced small majority of
 the council oppose unalterably giving this boulevard for electric railroad purposes of any sort, aad the other members were not disposed 10 be con- tentious. They all regarded the issue as
 one in which the interurban should be encouraged.
 The matter had been tenn aorarily decided in caucus that no franchise
 over Grand avenue would be given, | but Alderman Will Mclaughlin offered a resolution in the council exempting Grand avenue, and tried to get it adopted
 Nty Attorney Leo Mclaughlin made a hfeech on the mater and urged the council to pass the resolution, stating that the interurban interests had tried 10 hurry their franchise through when they seemed to have majority, and now that the Grand avenue oh

 that it would be best for the city to give this boulevard to the railroad and would not give Grand avenue to any railroad at any time. WhGn MT. Mclaughlin again urged the adoption of his resolution, the ordinance was with the ordinance committee to which it had been re. ferred, and which had not had on- portunity to report.
 Alderman Horner took exception to Ia proposal from Leo Mclaughlin to
 recall the ordinance from a commit

ATTACK ON DR.. HATFIELD WAS
VERY UNJUST.
Senator Grimes Jealous Because He
Was Not Appointed On I'm
portant Committees.
Wheeling. W. Va. June ?. 1912.

Wheeling. W. Va, June ., 1912.
To the Editor OF the Intelligence
IL is distasteful TO me to question
h motives or integrity of a colleague
but l cannot let go by default some
or senator Grimes observations on
Dire. d. Hatfield, which appeared in
the Sunday Register to-day. As a rep
reseptative from the First senatorial
district. | presume that my CON
%stituents entertain some little respect
for my judgment Of men and measures
during the last regular and extra ses-
sions OF the legislature. Those were
indeed trying times. and DR.. Hatfield
conducted himself with distinguished
ability. tact and judgment. lie stood
fearlessly, fairly and honestly by the
terms of agreement upon which We
agreed with the Democrats to organ
lie the senate. by the very nature OF
that agreement II was impossible TO
give Senator Grimes and some OF his
friends chairmanships OF all the i'm
portant committees they desired.
Therefore Senator Silver was %appoint.
ed chairman of the finance committee
because the craftsmanship Of the
equally important judiciary committee
was given TO a Republican. In this
manner he fairly appointed all of the
committee chairmanships. In all of
the various details of organizing the
body. DIR. Hatfield consulted with the
senator's n our distinguished gov
ernor. and no snap judgment was
taken on any senator.
In tho extra session OF 1911. the
doctor worked hard and faithfully for
the passage OF the Cofman primary
bill which was an embodiment of the
~conceusus Of opinion of the fifteen Re
publican senators. Governor Dawson
and other party leaders. DR. Hatfield
made no "unholy alliance" with the
Democrats or anybody else. either 10
get the presidency OF the senate which
he did not seek. nor did he try %
curry favor after his election. By
virtue OF his unique position. in all
OF his actions on the senatorial In
v~estigation and other matters he sim
ply extended becoming senatorial
courtesy. With regard TO his vote
on the prohibition amendment ne
simply carried out the instructions OF
the voters OF his senatorial district
In the same manner that Senator ZiIIi.
ken and myself carried out the wishes
of the majority OF our people.
Serious and sober thought upon the
part Of Senator Grimes should con.
vince him that he Is doing an honest
mar n grave injustice. Or. Hatfield
has been treating these thrusts with
silent contempt. which they deserve.
