HAT BOTHERED JUNGLE JOE"
Veteran Legislator Objected to "PIug,"
But Was Finally Persuaded to
Don 1t Temporarily.

In 1901 Representative Cannon was
living at the Cochran hotel, and the
evening before the Inauguration, L..
tary, but at that time correspondent
of the Chicago Inter Ocean, entered
Mr.. Cannon's room at the hotel and
found the venerable legislator standing
before mirror and swearing over q
plug hat with which he was practic-
ing.
II tell you / won't wear the d-n
thing" calculated Uncle Joe explosive
ly. II never wore one in my life and
l won't begin now" .-.
"But, Mr. Cannon" suggested Bus
hey amiably, eff you don't wear it you
will attract more attention in the
parade than the president, and you
don't want to do that"
Flows that?" snapped Uncle Joe.
"Why," exclaimed Busbey, "you viii
be the only man in the carriage that
won't be wearing silk hat, and you
will be too conspicuous"
:. At that comment Miss Cannon, the
daughter whose devotion to her father
was SO we'll known, entered the room.
Father will wear the hat, Mr.. Bus
bev," said Miss Cannon gently. "You
needn't worry"
Uncle Joe dutif1lly wore that hat,
the next day. He wore it again at
the funeral of Mckinley. These are
said to be the only times in his life
he has worn a silk Washington

Chicago. Nov. 23.-The National Amateur Athletic Union rejected the application of Arthur Duffy, a famous sprtnter of 20 years ago, for reinstate- ment. At that lime the Boston man held the 100 yards dash record of g 3-5 seconds. Duffy was expelled IS years ago on a charge of profession alism.

Paddock now holds a record of 3-5 seconds jointly with Howard Drew for the century dash: a record of 20 4-5 seconds for the 22o yard dash and 30 1-5 for the 300 yard dash, and the worlds record for the 300 meter run of 33 1-5.

New System of Football
 Numbering
By FAX LUDLOW

With practically every college foot ball team of importance, with the ex- ception of Harvard and the service teams pleasing the spectators who players, it does not seem that it would be harder for those responsible for the destinieS of the teams to make the numbering feature of additional accommodation and assistance to the people who sit and shiver in the sta diums, and think about those $'s they spent hoping to see a different team win, than the one that is making ali the touchdowns.
 The idea, is simply this. All the big
 teams have several men who are rat
 ed as first, second, third strong, and so on, ends, tackles, guards, centers, quarterbacl1s, halfbacks and full
 backs. Why not a rule, at least
 a suggestion from influential sporting writers like Walter Camp or Grant
 form system of numbering throughout the country.
 Let the left ends be numbered 1. Il, 12, 13, etc.; the left tackles, 2, 21, 22, etc.; left guards, 3, 31, 32, etc.; ] centers, 4. fl, 42, etc.; right guards. 62, etc; right ends, '. Fl, 72, etc; | quarterbacks, 8, S1, s2, etc; half l backs, g, 91, 92, etc.; and ful1backs,
 0, O1. O2, o3, etc.
 This method would give spectators | a much better chance of telling what l players were involved in a play, and | when substituuons were made they 1 could tell instantly what position had been changed. Close students of the game who soon learn the names of
 first, second and third string quar- | ter-backs, etc.; could much easier tell who was in the game, without resort | ing to the printed forms, which often are full of mistakes, or incomplete

Reich has several bookings promised in cities in the former territory, but he is hold ing off in view of getting a line on the boxing situation in Cuba.
