fire insurance rates. Mr.. Nesbit said:
Question of Rates.
The question OF fire Insurance
rates is today the most troublesome
and disturbing element in the entire
insurance situation.
In many States there arc com
missions studying the matter OF
rates and rate adjustment.
In April OF this year the Supreme
Court of the United States handed
down a decision To the effect that
States have power TO fix fire insur-
ance rates. Within the year differ
ent States have undertaken differ
ent methods of regulating fire insUr-
ance rates.
The average cost Of insurance for
thirty-one years in the District OF
Columbia has been 50 cents for
each 500 Of insurance in force.
The losses have been S37 out OF
each 500 collected for premiums.
The average loss ratio for the
past seven years ended December
81, 1913. has been - cents out of
every dollar collected. and the three
years. 1911, 1912, and 1913. show a
loss Of $3.50 of every 500 OF pre-
miums collected. This shows n high
loss ratio for the past three years
and one which does not give any
profit on the business with the pres
ent average rate Of expense.

ETyHE 1914 competitive season has been
 more than satisfactory for Francis Ouinet- Starting out as the most talk ed of golfer of the year, he went to England and Scotland to compete in the British amateur and open cham pionships
 Although put out early in the anna teur at Sandwich, Ouimet qualified at Troon in front of all the British .and,vis- fting amateurs for the open champion ship. but in the open play at Prestwick he fell far behind and was distinctly out of the rt1nning with an over 80 card in the first round
 Not dismayed, he crossed the channel to France and there won the French amateur title at Lo Bou1ie. Returning to the United States with that prize to take off the stigma of the two British defeats, he entered the Massachusetts amateur championship, which he had won the previous year. He defended

strength of the team and the game was quickly won.
 Yale has an excellent quarterback in A. wilson. He is a player who is al- ways alert and Is quick to take advan- tage of any misplay or pebble made by his opponents. He can change his methods of attack or defense in a mo- ment, and he knows when to ease up and take things quietly while the op- ponents are tiring themselves.
 Logan of Harvard is another quarter back who has proved his right to the position by his all around ability and his coolness under fire.
 Recent years have seen;many changes in football, and these changes have been to the advantage of the game. Open football passing of all kinds does not mean the death of the kicking game by any means, and that fact has been made plain. by the recent games. The kicking game insures a lack of waste that is not present when there is a determined effort to drive down the field. The game as it is played today is not so long as 1t used to be, and. ai- though the minutes of serious action are few and often far between, there is a wear and tear that is due probably to the attitude of eternal vigilance. watching the other fellow success fully has become increasingly difn- cult. and more generally than ever be- fore the opinion has gained ground that the best thing to do is to hand him the hball on the slightest provocation. or.

 Howevef, Ouimet came through with flying colors, and then went out to Mid- lothian, in the Chicago district, to de- fend his title of open champion. which he had won In 1913 at BrookIine in the famous pIayon with Ray and Vardon. At the start of the last round Ouimet was only three strokes behind Walter Hagen, the leader and ultimate winner but his game fell off and he took 7s. while Hagen clinched the title by SCOT ing 73.

THE sudden transfer of Marty O'Toole
 by McGraw to the Pittsburgh cluh aroused all sorts of comment It was hinted that Barney Dreyfus had loaned Marty to the Giants in an endeavor to beat the Braves. We'll. from what Marty did 1t looked as if Barney had loaned the s22. 500 beauty to the Giants in an endeavor to make it a little easier for the Boston team.
 The facts of the case are that the New York club never completed the purchase for O'TooIe. It paid clinch- CT on the bargain on the understanding that the balance was to be paid on Oct. Is. Evidently H1cGraw was not inn pressed with Marty, for when Oct. 15 rolled around he notified the Pittsburgh club that he would forfeit the money already paid and would relinQuish O'Toole to the Pirates.

 Even as great g. player as Ghee of
 Dartmouth made the mistake Of driv-

 Princeton. and this mistake doubtless cost Dartmouth the game. Had they not been tired out in the fourth period, when Princeton weakened. they would have been in position to have run over their opponents, beaten down tIlei1. de- fense and scored the points needed to turn defeat into victory.

Fleming and Speigel. who repeatedly speeded through the Yale team for long gains, have few superiors as halfbaclxs. In brief, the visitors got the jump on the Blue and kept 1t to the end Tales weakness may be attributed to the absence Of Talbot. without it's big captain the Blue line was demoralized, which unsettled the back field. Asfoot- ball team with its line gone wrong is like a baseball nine when its pitcher weakens. The emost damaging defect in Yale's game was the failure of the ends to check the sWashingt0n and Jeff ferson backs. Coach Frank Hinkey, himself one of the greatest Yale ends of all times, had been expected to de- ve1op a great pair of wing men this season, but Yale was compelled to use four ends in futile attempt to stop Fleming and SpiegeI-

 Cornell, relying on old fashioned football, overwhelmed Brown. but the Ithacans got a scare when Brown. which delayed the move too long in the last quarter, cut loose with its open game and went down the field for a touchdown.

that in the excitement Of a close game a commander In chief makes the mis- take Of striving too hard for immediate victory.
 But the quarterback should not make this mistake. Unlike the captain, he is selected because Of his abilitysshis cool- ness and his judgment instead Of be- cause Of his popularity. The quarter back should not be a man who makes rnistal<es, because his mistakes mean defeat-they are mistakes in general ship that cannot be corrected.
 It was for this reason that the injury to Hughitt, N1ichiganss great quarter back. was considered such a blow to the team, and when it was announced that his disIocated elbow was strong enough to enable Hughitt to engage in prac-

All con tracts signed are without the bonus clause. and every player has been giv- en an increase in salary instead. Brit ton firmly believes the bonus offer beat the Cards out of the 1914 pennant. Manager Huggins was opposed to the bonus scheme because it interfered with his ideas in managing. Huggins often was forced to consult wft{S players on the club when he contemplated any changes in the lineup or when he se- 1ected the pitchers.

Brown went the entire length of the field on passes for it's lone score.
 Dartmouth's second touchdown came as the result of finely executed throws. The Tigers worked a short pass to the four yard line, where Ames went over for the first score. Soon after this a Dartmouth attempted pass was con verted into a Princeton tally.

It is risky; 1t does not always achieve the results that are hoped for. but 1t is spectaeu- lar. and it aids the open game that spectators enjoy.

 Yale's unexpected defeat was easily the most startling.
