dressed in mud stained toggery and oft times unrecognizable of facial feature Therefore, it is to be hoped the matter of numbering the players will be given due consideration by the various sec tional football authorities
 This season we are going to see the open game played with much forward passing and kicking. With this style or play in vogue the game should be more Interesting and more easily un- derstood. Most of the plays will be in open field and not in mass. as has been customary.
 In an interview with Walter Canp. the American authority on football, was told last Thursday that the large schools of the east are doing much Kicking an dusing a very few mass plays. It looked like season of open football beyond peradventure.
 Mir Camp spoke enthusiastically of scholastic and collegiate football and other athletics as evolving young mon with self-reliance.
 To prove that the game is not dan gerous, as many think, I am going to give you an idea of the number Of games played and the vast number of players that took part in the games last Year. In 1914 statistics show that 1850 elevens played the game. of which 45O were college teams. 5000 secondary schools and 1500 that were not con- nected with educational institutions, but represented organized clubs.
 These 7950 teams played a schedule of 31,200 games. in which approximately 15g,000 players took part We had three deaths and numerous minor injuries so from that vast multitude that took part in football it looks like the per centage of accidents was small and 1t shows that the revised rules have given us n game that in so far as accidents a ha fa pared with any game before the Ameri- can public

The football season is again in full swing and instead of hearing the old bell ring and the umpire call Play ball' we will hear the sound of the referees whistle and the accompany ing call of "First down 10 yards to go."
 We will see 22 brawny lads goad- ed on by thousands trot down the field trying to carry their eolors to victory.
 With "a few alterations in the rules for 1915 the game is played approx imately as in the years gone by. Tho added changes have tended toward simrlification.
 The rules committee has been thoughtful in drafting changes which will make football universally satis- factory sport. It has been decided to have a field judge, which makes four officials instead of three. This does away with much unnecessary wrang- ling that usually occurred on forward passes and kicking.
 It has taken the watch away from the head linesman and given it to the field judge. This was done to al- low the head linesman to keep closer watch upon the offside plays and oth- CT plays that come within his prov ince.
 It also does away with "beating the starting signal as has been done. It has tried to do away with the rough tactics such as running into and the fullback, illegal use of the hands, illegal blocking and trip ping and the peculiar method, of block ing and interfering with the legs when diving under g. play.
 No longer will a forward pass on the fourth down which goes out of bounds be substituted for a kick. but 1t will go for an incompleted forward pass and go to the opponents at the spot where the ball is put into play.
 This ruling will give more kicking and will allow the opposing team to advance with the ball instead of go- ing to them at that spot where the ball crossed the line.
 They have also recommended the of the players, which if lived up to---and it should be--will be welcomed by the followers of the game the country over.
 It is no easy matter to sit in the stands and tell a player in motion,

Gloom in Philadelphia

Philadelphia, October n.--A big. black cloud of gloom settled down upon the thousands gathered around score boards here today when Hooper raced home with the run that gave Boston the third game of the worlds series. The throngs apparently took the defeat of their idol, the mighty Alexander. more to heart than the loss of the game. Supporters of the Phillies had believed the big Me- braskan would win all his games.
 Philadelphia fans put their confidence in either Chalmers or Rixey to hold the hard hitting Red Sox in check tomorrow. At the same time they hope the Phillies will find their batting eye and even up the series.
 Several wagers were made here to- night at even money on the outcome of tomorrow's game, but there was little Philadelphia money in sight on the final result, notwithstanding heavy odds of fered

HAULING DOWN THE FLAG.

Chinese capitalists who contemplate estab
fishing steamship line to the United States
realize that the recent shipping legislation OF
Democratic Congress has opened the way for
the Orient to dominate the Pacific absolutely.
The protests of the steamship owners and
managers, when the Seamen's Bill was before
Congress, met general incredulity. About as
much real attention was given them as was
given Hawaii S sugar men when they tried to
point ont the disaster that would follow free
sugar The war has averted the economic blow
of free sugar upon Hawaii, but it has not
aYened the blow to American shipping on the
Pacific. The Pacific Mail and the Dollar lines
are going out of business--at least they are
going to haul down the American flag.
Commenting on the bill, the New York
World, ardent supporter of the Wilson admin
istration and strong in its advocacy of the Ship
Purchase bill, says frankly:
.'At time when every consideration of ma
tional welfare demands the extension of our
.meiehant marine, it is to be crippled by the
provisions of the new Seamen's Law which
takes effect in November The authors of this
measure, which contains excellent provisions,
oyerreached themselves in their desire to place
In the hands of the Seamen' S Union the man
agement of shipping
Although some obstacles in the way of a
revival of our merchant marine have been re-
moved by the Ship Registry Bill and more
liberal tariff, the question of sailors wages has
made operation very costly. In the Pacific ser
vice most sailors have been Chinese and Jap
anese. To get rid of them and compel the EN-
ployment of Americans we now have restric
tions as to language experience, conditions on
shpboard and the number of men to be emf
ployed which amounts to a revolution of prac-
tises so far as Americans are concerned.
"This is subsidy to labor that does not
work. 1t is worse in many respects than a
subsidy to capital, for it throttles both labor
and capital.

CAUGHT IN THE GOES.

The liquor license commission has taken the
only defensible course open to it in refusing a
renewal of the Marlowe sploon license. Mar
lowe told the board falsehood year ago to
cover the fact that in buying the saloon he was
financed by the brewery This year he was
given one opportunity of telling the truth and
did not tell it. Later, when the hearings be
fore the commission showed that the Anti
Saloon league had secured telling facts regard
ing .snndisclosed interests" in local saloons,
Mallowe evidently saw that the jig was up
and decided it was better for him to make a
clean breast of it to the board. He did so, con-
Tossing his previous falsehood.
Marlowe has won some sympathy because
Of this belated confession. As matter of fact,
he is one of the victims of the vicious System
Of Booze This System fourishes by devious
methods and on undetermined transactions. 1t
hates the light of day. 1t shrivels before pub
licitv. 1t drags down those who play with it
al work with it. Marlowe is one of the men
caught in the cogs. He isn't one of the
sshigher-ups.n But he must pay just the same
Cor erring. Public policy demands his punish
ineut-the forfeiture of his license The board
has made certain rules, reasonable rules, and
Narlowe has transgressed. That his business
IS destroyed may be temporarily unfortunate
for Marlowe but businesses erected upon
falsehood have no place in this or any other
conln4unity.

Superintendent Harry Murray s plan to carry
on competitive tests with various types of water
meters commends itself to any businessman, as
it commended itself to the municipal affairs
committee of the Chamber of Commerce. This
committee recently reported strongly in favor
of such tests. The old cry against the use of
water-meters for Honolulu has about died out
and now it's question of finding meters that
won't get out of order every few weeks or
months and become utterly worthless as regis
tiers of the amount of flow. Other cities have
found meters that stand continuous service,
and Honolulu should be able to do the same.

A good example Of the value to mankind a
neutral nation can be in wartime has just been
shown by President Wilson's letter to Car
Nicholas, securing permission for Austrians to
go to prison camps in Siberia and see Austrian
prisoners there. Much has been written in the
belligerent countries probably exaggerated
concerning the harsh treatment in hostile
camps. Austria now can learn by official ex-
animation how much truth there is in what the
Teuton writer's have alleged concerning Slav
treatment of prisoners.
