NEW GAME TOSTAY
ONE MORE SEASON
By BRYAN MORSE.

There is little doubt in the minds of
those who have followed the football
campaign this season that the new
game in its second year without radical
changes, has come to stay. The foot

John Taylor May Become dent of American League Club
Again At Next Meeting Joseph Lannin, New York
Real Estate Man, Becomes Magnate.

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 1.-James r.
Mcblee and Robert McRoy have sew
cred their connections with the local
American League club, and John L
Taylor is expected to become president
Of the Red Sox again, when the reor-
Eanization of the club is completed. Jo-
seph Lannin, proprietor of the Garden
City Hotel, Long Island, a prominent
New York real estate man and thirty

holdings of McAleer and his friends
Tor $40, 600. The formal transfer of the
stock will be made December 10, and
new officers elected Boston is agog
with interest in this big baseball deal,
general satisfaction being expressed at
the retirement of McAleer and McRoy,
who are far from popular here.

ship. 1t is believed that he will con-
tinue to allow Bill Carrigan to act as
manager of the team. In his short
two years stay here McAleer has
made many enemies for the American
League. He upset all tradition in one
of the best baseball cities in the
country. He had few friends from
the start, but those few were alienat-
ed when he released Jake Stahl last
summer. Quarrels with the Royal
Rooters, local club of fans, intensi-
fed the hostility felt for McAleer and
the unexpected success Of the Braves
swung the fans over to the National
League
Finding that the resignation of Nc
Aleer and McRoy was necessary to the
prosperity of the league here, Ban
Johnson did not hesitate to engineer
the deal which is now announced.
Fifty per cent of the club was bought
by the McAleer-McRoy-S -Stahl interest
for S170,000. 1t is now sold for S220,-
600 Adding this profit to that made
by the Red SoX when they won the
worlds championship in 1912 shows
that the outsiders have nothing to
bother them in regard to getting a
square deal.

rules permit the most open sort of
running. Wide end runs, criss-cross
plays. runs from kick formation, fake
plays of every sort and forward passes
give the runners behind the line OF
scrimmage all sorts of chances to flash
into The open for clever dodging for
the necessarJ yards.
Even though the rules may be found
q trifle inadequate for scoring on line
plays inside the lO-yard line the drop
ur for every failure that the team
makes at successfully negotiating a for
ward pass from the 10-yard line or fake
or line plays for the desired touchdown.
Coaches argue that the game can
not be improved upon, as II depends en-
tirely upon the material as to what
STRENGTH can be developed In specific
cases ii is argued that Dartmouth's sue
cess this season was not nothing short
OF wonderful. Frank Cavanaugh had
nothing more than green material at the
start of the campaign. and went through
q truly remarkable season with players
that at the start had little or no repu-
tation, and whose past experience was
that on green high, school elevens.
The coaches have no cause for COM
plaint and they realize that while the
scores in the three biggest games of the
year failed TO produce. touchdowns. 1t is

INTEGRITY OF WOMAN.

OF all Of the evils that are prevailing
among young men we know of none
more blightng in lis moral effects than
the tendency to speak lightly of the vir-
tues of women. Nor is there anything in
which young men are so thoroughly mis-
taken as the low estimate that they form
of the integrity of women-not of their
own mothers and sisters, thank God.
but OF others, who. they forget. are
somebody else's mothers and sisters.
As rule, no person who surenders
TO this debaSng habit is safe to be trust
ed with any enterprise requiring integrity
of character Plain words should be
spoken on this point, for the evil is a
general one and deep rooted. If young
men are sometimes thrown into the So
ciety of the thoughtless, they have no
more right to measure other women by
what they see Of these than they would
have to estimate the character of honest
and respectable citizens by the develop
ments OF crime in our police courts
Let the young men remember that
their chief happiness in life depends upon
then utter faith in women. No worldly
wisdom, no misanthropic philosophy, no
generalization, can cover or weaken this
fundamental truth. 1t stands like the
record of God himset-for il is nothing
less than this-and should put a seal
upon lips that are wont to speak Slight
ingly of women.
