FOOTBALL NOW
ON BIG SCALE
1913 Games Witnessed BY 49,
100000. 10000 Players

New York. Jan. 23.--Some astonish-
ing figures showing the widespread
popularity of intercollegiate football
during the season of 1913 have been
compiled by Parke Davis. Princeton's
members of the rules committee and "a
noted statistician in this department of
sport.
According to his estimates com
puted from personally collected data.
400 colleges and 5000 schools through
out the country was represented by
elevens last Autumn. Approximately
1920 games were played and $50, 900
play ers participated i'm the contests
and practice. Placing the average at
tendance at these games as low us 300,
the total attendance would not be far
| from $4,000, 900.
Amid the great amount OF data Sc
cured by Davis, many interesting and
unusual football feats are recorded.
including long runs, field goal kicks,
high scores and other peculiar grid
isou feat plays. The longest goal
from the field was n place kick of 81
yards, scored by Carl Woodward of
Tulane university against st. Louis
university. The second longest goal
was a place kick also, ~ yards,
achieved by j. J. Dunn of Baltimore
cit. college against Gilman school.
The longest goal from a drop kick
by a college PLAYER in 1913 was the
i3-yard goal by H. \. II. Baker of
Princeton against Yale.
The record for the greatest num-
her of field goals by a single player in
one game goes to Charles f.. Bricklcy
of Harvard, who secured five against
Yale.
The longest run of the year was
accomplished by H. w. Richards Of
Pittsburgh. who, catching BuckEcll's
kick-off. one yard behind his own goal
line. ran 101 yards for n touchdown.
one of the surprising features of 1913
was the frequency of these runs from
Kickoff. Hitherto they have been so
rare that seldom more than one has
appeared throughout the season. In the
autumn just passed not less than nine
occurred i'm the larger games.

HUGE SALARIES
co TO PLAYERS
Federal League Makes Banner
Offer of $4,000 to Ty Cobb

The hgh-water mark in the frenzied
finance of baseball was reached with
the Federal leagues big offer to "Ty"
Cobb Of Slj,0Oo a year for five years,
Cobb last year was the highest salaried
omheder in the game, receiving $4,000
from Detroit.
The recent activity Of the outlaw
league in threatening To invade the ter
rtory Of the major league clubs has
given an artificial impetus To the sal
aries Of baseball players. Experienced
baseball men say that the high salaries
which are now being offered are alb
yurd in contrast to the profits made
IN baseball and that when the reaction
comes the result will he the loss OF u
great deal of money by club owners.
The only baseball clubs which really
make money from season tn season are
those which are i'm the first three po-
sItlons in the pennant race. a losing
team does not draw crowds in its home
city or on the road.
During the past few years club own
erS have gccn trying To Guido each
other in paving abnormal prices for
baseball players. Since the days when
Boston gave 10000 to Chicago for
catcher Nike Kelly. the price of play
ers has SCARED until it now reaches a
stage when Cobb is promised $4,000
for five years service OF the diamond.
during the brotherhood trouble and
durins the American League raid, the
value Of baseball players jumped con-
Ndeiabh and the price has been going
up ever since. At the time of the
Brotherhood war, the National League

unit of the National League in 1883.

Alleged Federal Agents Are lmperil- ing Live Stock Valued al Three and a Half Billion Dollars.

Chicago. III, Nov. Protesting against an order by A. b.

Leonard, general manager of the Union Stock Yards tonight teegraphed Frank Hagen barth, president of the National Wool Growers Association now in conven- ton at Salt Lake City, calling on the men of the west to arise and protect their flocks and herds.
 Mr. Leonard asserted the govern, ments policy endangered the value of live stock worth three and onehalf billion dollars. The message said:
 The following telegram dated No yember l1 has been received by $. E. Bennett, chief of the federal inspec- tors at the stock yards here;
 Owing to the scarcity of funds it is considered advisable to save as many animals as possible, therefore you are hereby instructed to make efforts to save animals for food pur- poses in cases Of large herds where the disease appears in only a few ani- mals'
 This message was signed by MT. Melvin. chief of the bureau
 This is a complete reversal of the departments former attitude by which they had been invariably sue cessinl il stamping out the disease. You will note that the causes given lis scarcity of funds This cannot be accepted as an excuse for a govern menJ as rich as ours to put forth a. a reason for permitting few million dollars worth of contaminated ami mals 10 imperil the value of live stock worth more than three and one-hall billion dollars.

SUMMARY OF
 THE WAR NEWS

The German artillery fire was practically a continual lombard ment tended to pulverize the de fence preparatory to the advance of the infantry"
 This announcement made by the British official press bureau regarding the fighting around Ypres and Dixmude, in West Flanders, gives some idea of the fighting which has been going on in that part of Belgium during the last few days.
 The losses are admitted to have been very heavy, and the state. ment says the allies strength has been constantly maintained by achievements It is known that the Germans also have been receiving heavy support Never theless, both the English and French assert that beyond the taking of Dixmude by the in- vaders, their progress has amounted to very little
 The British admiralty admits the loss of the cruisers Goodhope and Monmouth by the fire of the German squadron off Chile. The names of 95 officers and warrant officers on these vessels, inClud- ing that of Rear Admiral Sir Christopher Craddock, are pub lshed
 An interesting feature of the news is that Field Marshal Lord Roberts is about to proceed to France, ostensibly to see the In- dian troops"
 Premier AsQuith, according to report will ask parliament to sanction the raising of one mil lion additional troops for war ser vice, thus bringing the total up to 2,000,000 men. It is also under stood that the government in- tends to issue a war loan of one billion dollars.
 In the British house of com mons Arthur Henderson, the labor party leader. announced that organized labor felt that the only course now open was to go straight through with the war until the allies triumphed
 While the latest French official statement says that German at tempt to debouch from DiXmude by night attack has been re- pulsed, Berlin reports that the German attack across the Yser canal 10 the south of Dixmude is progressing and that in the region east of Ypres they have made a further advance, caNturing 700 French soldiers and some guns.
 In the eastern arena the Rus sias have occupied Johanncsourg, East Prussia, and in Ga'icia the siege of Przemysl has been re- sumed. Russia also reports fa- vorable progress against the Turks in the Caucasus.
