only twice had a rhaneeto eoore. -Onee by
fierce Una breaking, ualng principally a
triple tandem formation, the Crimson forced
Tale bark from ita forty-yard line to within
eight yards of the Blue goal. Then Cap
tain Keroan fumbled. The second chance
was when Harvard brought -the ball to Ita
opponents', twenty-two-yard Una, Then
Tala held and the Crimson had to try a
field goal." Maraball kicked and ' missed
the goal. ; Harvard could sot bold Its lias
agalnat the Tale plunges and was beaten
la the first tea minutee of . play. The
Crimson team was a disappointment and
eemed ti possess no qualification except
weight. A summary ef the play a shows
the all-around superiority of the Blue. In
the first half Tale kicked live limes for a
total distance of 149 yards and In the sec
ond three, tlmea for ninety-nine yards. In
the first bait It carried the ball by rushes
1(6 yards, making nine first . downs, sjid
la the aeeond 211 yarda, with twenty-ane
first downs. Harvard kicked three tlmea
la the first half tor 107 yarda and In the
aeeond five tlmea for 130 yarda. The Crim
aon made eleven first downs In the first
halt, going only aevesty yarda, and tn the

game waa with Wlaeensln. After this game
the Wolverine -seemed to lose" their, fight
lag spirit and lost form, being detested
with larger scores by Minnesota and Chi
cago, teams Inferior to the Badgers.- Chi
cago' flayed a .much better game against
Wiaconsln than against Michigan, a fact
largely attributable to the return Into the
lineup, of the quarterback. Maxwell. For
aecatid place Minnesota and Chicago are
making claims, but aa they have not met
each ether, no decision which will be re
ceived by all parties can be made, , and
discussion Is futile.
Superior speed and team play won th
Minnesota . gams .tor Michigan. The first

and waa won ,by straight line bucking. The

The following from the New Tork Bun
deals with some of the recent develop
ments of the game of foot ball:
'A few years back there waa complaint
that the defensive side of foot ball has
made more progress than the offensive and
that the problem was to develop methods of
attack that could cope with the defense,
That problem seem to have been effect
ually solved in the Isst few. year, by. aome
on team, however. In a much (greater pro
portion thaa by any other tesms. Harvard
and Tale between them have beea alter
nately developing an offenae that the other
have been utterly unable to withstand. It
la a aerlous question whether the nature of
these offensive tactics with their : back-ot
the-llpe battering rami and catapult for
nations, calculated to leave a trail of
sprawling men behind them, make for the
best Interests of foot ball. Tea years ago,
when seven forwards plsyed In the line on
the offense, much was heard of tnterfer
ence and Its beautiea. It was a dominatlag
feature of games. Now mors Is beard of
destructive tandem and wedge on tackle
for advancement.
"Tha trick of helping the runner by being
there te pull and drag him along has come
to the front noticeably In late years. It Is
a move that calla tor qulckneaa In getting
to the spot, concerted actios and skill tn
general oiore so than tha mass formations
Ths knack of getting through a hols and
then dodging the backs, which Tale has
worked so effectively this year. Is a com
mendsbls feature, and the three long runs
tor touchdowns which Tals made this yesr
by this mean atand out as among the most

out disturbing any one In the bouse. Of
course, the hsbltues of the amoks houses
re aa busy as ever, but the product of their
pipes Is sot so Interesting. One little out
burst slace the sesson ended has attracted
some attention. This was the alleged peace
ronference, first at New Tork and then at
Chicago, wherein the American associstioa
handed the Western league the prettiest
little gold brick that a bunch of wise guy
ever worked off oa a collection of come
on. It wasn't Just whst any one expected,
but as it is viewed from its varioue angles
the conclusion becomes more and more Ir
resistible that the Western may a well put
up the shutters and take down the sign In
both Milwaukee snd Kansas City.. Particu
larly ia thla true ef -Kanaas City, where the
good people who love to sit on the bleachers
and cheer the players en to home run and
the like ahowed a marked preference for
the Hickey brand of ball last seaaon. In
Milwaukee the Sextonlte had a shade the
better of the argument at the end of the
season,' bat' that Is nothing to brag about.
In view ef the fact that Milwaukee Is cer
tainly a base, ball graveyard, and doesn't
patronise any sort of a team with liberality.
If you stop to Ihlnk bout It, you wljl recall
the fact that Milwaukee has been dumped
several times by leagae that are bigger
than either the Hickey or the Sexton league
and yet the Milwaukeeans are always ex
cusing their non-attendance of gamea by
demanding higher class ball. They do not
patronise any sort of ball. But this is get
ting away from the text and doesn't cut
much figure, anyhow. Here is the agree
ment, ratified at Chicago between the two
leagues:
1. That a nonconfilcting schedule be made
lo the two cities of Kansas City and Mil
waukee, In ao far aa is reasonable. That
the schedule be made by the president of
the reiectlve leagues. In the event of a
difference of opinion arising upon the
schedule. It Is agreed that an umpire shall
be selected bv the two leaaues to -decide
auch difference, if any. whose decision in
each instance shall be binding.
Bald u moire, to be agreed upon prior to
the commencement of arranging schedule.
In the event of a nonagreement upon an
umpire the National board shall nominate
an umpire to act. Bala umpire muii oe

2. Both the Weatern league and the Amer
ican association shall put up a satisfac
tory tmnd in the aum oi nve inouaana ooi
lare (35.0001, that the aalartee of the two
clubs in Kanaaa City and Milwaukee shall
not exceed the salaries of the other clubs
In the two rameotlve leagues, and that no
player abaU be loaned during the playing
season by the other members of either
ieaa-ue to the clubs In. Kansas Uty ana
Milwaukee to strengthen them.
The said bond ot nve inousana aoiiars
(35,000) of either league must be submitted

In tbe event of a dispute as to the maxi

That's all. Van Brunt snd Bums, 'the men
who coaxed Bill Rourke te etay out ot the
Hickey league, because the defection of
Omaha meant the end of the Western,
were there and willing to make any sort
of a compromise. It wss even proposed
that Mr. TanBrunt be made a half-owner
of the Kanaas' City team In ths American,
and the proposition came mighty near go
ing through. And this was the man wh

ball team next sesson, and the visiting
manager will be delighted with their abars
of the gate receipts, but the local fan
wiU be thinking of what might have been
If BUI Rourke had looked on Burn and
VaaBrnnt In 1901. as they did on him la
1902. In the meantime BUI Isn't saying a
word.
And here comes Peoria and threatens to
quit tbe league. Well. Other whistling
post along the line of railroad exist and
some of them will very likely be beard
from when Peoria's decision la finally
known.
Another occasion for laughter ia tbe nice
little boost sent out from St. Joseph to
the effect that the reason Byron McKlbbea
had to wear a worried look nearly all laat
summer was that he was signing the play
er for Milwaukee and Kanaas City, a well
as for St. Joseph. How would you like
to see Angel-faced Hugh whea he reads
that yarn, Dot to speak of Charley Nichols.
In the meantime, don't, lose too mach

in palpitation or something, far more serious. Rheu
matism does not always come on with a storm of pains;
its growth is often gradual. Little pains begin tugging
at the muscles or wandering from joint to joint as
winter approaches, or the weather is unsettled and
changeable.but they increase with each recurring attack,
and nothing is more certain than that this insidious
disease will at last get you completely in its power
Louisville, Ky., March 27, '02.
bentlemen : I am glad to say that S. S. S.
has cured me of Rheumatism. About two
years ago I suffered from Rheumatism In my
knees and feet, my ankles swelling so that I
could not put on my shoes. " This continued
for several months, during which time I was
applying liniments and going by my physi
cian's directions, but derived no benefit. I
was told of 3. S. S. and tried It. I Imme
diately got relief, and in six months waa
entirely well. D. J. Duane, 2108 Floyd St.
and almost before vou realire it ioints are swollen and
locked, muscles contracted and stiff, and you are a chronic sufferer from Rheumatism.
You can never conquer this deep-seated disease with external remedies that give only partial
or temporary relief, nor by flooding the system with Alkali and Potash mixtures, which break
down the digestion and endanger the health, while the disease is left to pursue its destructive work.
No remedy brings such prompt and lasting relief in rheumatic troubles as S. S. S., which,
attacks the disease in the blood, neutralizes the acids and stimulates all the blood making
organs, it removes trom tne system an poisonous suDstanees,
purifies and enriches the thin acid blood, and when the Uric
Acid salts and the gritty particles are dislodged and drenched
out of the aching muscles and joints, the patient is happily
relieved for all time of the discomforts and misery of Rheu
matism. S. S. S. being a purely vegetable remedy can Ve taken
with safetv bv the old. middle atred and vountr. It will cure
3'ou, no matter whether you are a long-time sufferer or only beginning to feel occasional twinges
of Rheumatism. Write us about your case and our physicians will give medical advice or any
information you wish without charge. We will mail free our special book on Rheumatism.
