4 MUM HrSt 10 last OF every loot
ball season there is a lot Of
wonder and curiosity on the part
Of the untutored as to what the diff
ference Is between a referee in foot
ball and an umpire.
Time was when il was a perfectly
simple thing to explain the difference
between these two officials and their
duties but In the last half dozen
years 80 many new plays and rules
and penalties have crept into the
game that each official is nowadays
burdened with the responsibility Of
enforcing three or four times as
many rules and observing more than
twice as much as he was formerly
called upon to enforce and to observe.
The result has been that the duties
Of these two now overlap In a great
many places, as they are given con-
current jurisdiction over a great many
points in the game.
Formerly all one had to do TO eX-
plain the distinction between the Of
iclals' duties was to say that the
referee was Judge Of the ball while
the umpire was Judge of the players.
In very general and rough way
that Is still supposed to be the chief
distinction, but as | have just init
mated, it no longer holds good.
Unless one went in for a mere YER
batim excerpt from the rule book, 1t
would be quite out of the question to
undertake to point out all the cases
in which the referee may be called
upon to exercise sole authority and
all those which are the umpires sin
gle concern: for there is not a rule
| nor a section thereof, in the rule
| book that is not specifically desig
| mated to come clearly under the iuris-
| diction Of the one official or the other
| or both It will be only possible 70
| point out in a general way here what
| the distinction there is in the work OF
these two and of the head linesman
! THE main work of the referee is &c
( keep up with the ball and Its
progress. He Keeps track of the
downs. and announces them to the
! teams after each one. and states the
distance remaining to be gained tC
make 1t a first down again.
He alone decides whether a touch
down or any other point has at any
stage of the game been scored by
either team
The referee is the one TO start the
game, by the blowing OF his whistle
| after ascertaining that both teams are
| ready; and he must ask the cap
| tains of the two teams whether they
are ready to resume play after each
occasion when time has been taken
out for any reason whatever. II is

A WHILE back we exploited the
tremendous drinking feats Of
one Zbyszko, Polish wrestler,
who seemed to hold the cham
pionship of the water wagon per
formers, even if he couldn't grab
the graphing title for himself.
The Pole was almost a total alb
stainer, varying the monotonv
now and then with a fiagon Of
lager. But he generally preferred
the vichy OF commerce and con
sumed 1t by the gallon. We be-
iieve now that Welsh Is a close
second to the Pole, If indeed he
can not beat him at the pure
and cold" game.

~HIcAGo, Nov. 1s.-There
I isn't in the ring history Of
this dear old world Of ours a
more unique and in many ways
freakish character than Freddie
Welsh, English champion among
the lightweights. The man from
Pontypridd does unusual things
in a modest sort OF way and best
of all doesn't talk much about
himself. But If drawn into con-
versation Freddie is apt to sur
prise his audience with some as
tCnishing statements that Freddie
does not regard as at all re-
markable. Incidentally, don't for
get that the young Welshman
possesses a left hand that is re-
garded as the equal OF anything
that ever was flashed by any
fighter.

That eighty-two page industrial
edition issued by the Duluth Herald
under date of May 26 is "Corker."
Nothing could better advertise Du-
luth, the pride Of Minnesota, than to
send a copy of that paper broadcast
throughout the land. 1t pictures the
truth, nothing more or less, and the
truth is the best kind of advertising.
Minnesota has never been compelled
to lie about its resources and Duluth
has never found it necessary to resort
to such methods. BY this splendid
edition the Herald clearly demon
strates that it has a newspaper plant
of the first water, and newspaper
men who know how to run it. One
hundred per cent efficiency crowns
every page and Bemidji is proud to
have such an establishment as a

that the domestic dog Is. In some

A professor IN the Natural History
museum of Paris has communicated
results of his study of various canine
skulls to the Academy OF Sciences.
He appears to have noticed certain
peculiarities Of growth which have
hitherto escaped biologists.
He states that the skull Of almost
every species of wolf and jacket differa
from the skull Of the shepherd dog to
an extent that makes it impossible
that this dog should belong in the
same classification. The skull of the
Indian wolf, on the contrary, shows
some points Of resemblance. This, In.
deed, is the only savage canine the
top Of whose head projects like that

There are, moreover, other charac
teristics which the Indian wolf has IN
common with the dog, and which the
ordinary wolf does not share with
them. although his origin and. that Of
the dog have long been supposed to BIZ

The conclusion of this scientist Il
that the Indian wolf is the progenito1
of the shepherd dog and the blood

races of dogs analogous to these which
were first domesticated in Contra

Centuries ago, when Balboa, cross
ing the Isthmus of Panama, stood
upon the crest OF the mountains
forming the great continental divide
and4viewed for the first time the dis
tant waters of the Pacific, he never
imagined that some day man would
bring the waters Of this great ocean
across the intervening miles to the
foot Of the mountains upon which he
stood Yet this is what has been
done by the Americans since 1905.
While the work of constructing the
|, immense locks was going on in the
central part of the isthmus, a huge
force Of laborers, with steam shovels,
,dredges, and other modern machin-
cry, was digging channel from Bal
boa, the Pacific entrance to the canal,
named after the great discoverer, to
the town of Miraf1ores, where the first
locks are located.
A great problem confronted the en-
:gineers in the excavating of this six
miles Of sea level canal : for the Pa
cific ocean has tide of twenty-one
feet. This meant that IN addition to
the digging of a channel deep enough
to allow the largest ship to pass

The work on this sea level stretch
of canal was made even more difficult
by the constant foods, caused by the
torrents of rainfall during the wet
season from April to-December. The
same spirit that made possible Guile
bra Cut and the great locks has pre-
vailed on this work. The men push

ties, till at the present time, it is
practically completed. .~. BE-
1t is hard to imagine that this vast

most impenetrable jungle, the Turk
ing place of yellow fever and malaria.
Many thousand French and American
laborers fell victims to fever when
working on this section, and were
buried in cemetery SO close to
where the canal now runs that the
white stones marking the graves can
be plainly seen from the canal These
gravestones stand as a constant re-

might some day benefit by water
