- was In part understood by the Maroons,
, who spent the summer studying the lan
guage at Chicago.
Pi'of. Ill las Thank Jans.
On behalf of the University of Chicago
' Trof. Bliss and some of the team replied,
thanking Waseda for Its kind Invitation
: and hospitality, ana expressed the nope
. that the University of Chicago could repay
the courtesies to the Waseda base bail
- team at Chicago In 1911.
Following ; the twenty courses of both
J American and Japanese variety the two
. teams sang their alma mater, and the old
. Chicago yell drowned out the Waseda bat
tle cry, although the new dress suits of the
' Maroons Interfered with the vocal efforts.
"The men, keeping in mind Prof. Ktagg's
teaming rules, retired at 10 o'clock.
Following Waseda'a welcome the Amert
..' can ambassador, Mr. Thomas T. O'Brien,
received the American collegians at the
legation. The member of the embassy
. with their wive and a number of foreign
ers of Yokohama and Toklo,' were present,
, also Count Okuma, founder of Waseda and
'.considered the foremost man of Japan;
President Kamada of Kelo university, and
a number of the Japanese nobility, along
with three ball teams. ' After a musical
concert the. guests adjourned to the gar
den, where American dainties were served
by the women. Mr. O'Hrten promised to be
with the Maroons at the games.
Practice for Bis; Game.
Hlnce their arrival the men have spent
- most of their time In practice for the big
games, although rain ha Interfered con
siderably ' with .the work. On Ftiday the
Atrerlcons practiced at the battlefield at
Waseda before 1,330 enthuslastlo fans. Ev
V rry play of the Maroons was appreciated
greatly and at every turn the men were
- shot by cameras. The Japanese are an
xious ia .obtain pictures and autographs of
the , men- , All the odd momenta of the
.'Chicago men are taken up either with re
ceiving visitors, visiting the various Jap
anese parks or curio shops, or shopping
on' the Glnia.
On the eve of the first battle the m ana
Kern, captains and umpires of each team
were entertained at the Imperial hotel by
the Maroons, and the rule were discussed
' and final arrangement were made for all
" the games.
The initial game of the series was post
poned on account of rain, so Waseda will
' be met Tuesday, Oct. 4, In the first battle.
Nevertheless, the men were kept busy on
a rule quiz, and base ball was discussed
for two hours. In the afternoon Dr. Spen-
cur. a former Maroon graduate, received
the boys, and in the evening "Bluffy'
Place gave his colleagues a real Japanese
treat the at Uyeno Tsuryura, a swell Jap
anese cafe.

"Stuffy" then ordered up. The athletes
j relished most the Item, entitled 'nlku nabe,"
cooked In "shoyu," a bean sauce; "okoko,"
a pickle mixture, was hashed up on the
.side, and various egg dishes were pre
pared to the beat of each athlete's culinary
abilities. The enormous loads that chop
nicks transported were remarkable. After
this novel experience the men Journeyed

Not to be outdone In the entertaining

ioot Ball Danger
is Eliminated to
a Great Extent
New Eulei Put Good Samaritan Angle
to the Great Game of the
Gridiron.
NEW YORK, Oct 29 The new foot ball
rules have played the role of the good
Famaritan to the tackles. By the elimina
tion, of interlocked Interference and push
ing and pulling the man with the ball, the
mass play on tackle has been deprived of
one-half of Its worth. No longer are these
men called to stand the terrific battering
which attained its renlth last year. This
has brought about one of the most wel
come change In foot ball, for accidents to
tackle were frequent in 1M9. The death
of Cadet Byrne of the Army Is recalled.
These rule lessening the burden of the
tackles should have been Instituted back I
In 3907, the second year of the forward
pass. When the defense did not have
to figure on the ball shooting over their
heads. It was In the right order of things
to mas play on the tackles It was the
tackle' function to break up these play.
HI duty ended there. The defensive half
bak. playing a yard to his outs de. tackled
the runner. Occasionally a star tackle l
threw the man with the ball himself, bnt
that was secondary. His duty ended with
spilling the play, giving the halfback the
opportunity for a clean tackle.
But with the development of the for
ward pass, the halfback Inherited other du
ties. He had to play further back and in
tercept uch passes or else block' the man
who wo runn'ng to make the catch. This
left the tackle unsupported. His duties
became overwhelming; the physical exac
tions were too great. Not only did he
have to pile up all smashes at his position,
but charge with his head back, watching
for a short forward pass.
A a result the offense crashed Into him
like a great battering ram. He had to
meet It alone. The halfback was watch
ing for a forward pass. And the fact that
the tackle had to keep his hand raised to
watch for a short forward pass made him
susceptible to a broken neck. The odds
were four, sometime five, to one against
him. ' This year, however, the rules are
giving 'gn of lessening this mas play
burden of the tackle. It Is a most welcome
reform.

Much Agitation Abroad Over Ama
teur Question.
AIM TO UNIFY THE DEFINITION
Few eerie Are Beat to America-.,
feat Replies that Do Cons Sac
reed la Rxcltlai; Mark
Interest.
NEW YORK, Oct. The "Revue Olym
plque," the official -organ of the Interna
tional Olympic committee, devoted a lot of
space recently to the unification of the
amateur definition, and it frankly admits
that after two years of hard work upon
the question the agreement to a rule
which would suit all countries la well nigh
Impossible. As to what Is to be done with
regard to the game of 1912, Theodore Cook
of England la of the opinion that the
wisest policy to pursue is to let the Swed-
"h definition of the amateur prevail at
that meet Until a standardised definition
of the amateur Is unearthed. It I better
to let the country holding the game attend
to the matter.
When the international committee started
to get at the universal definition of the
amateur an English sporting paper sent
queries to every country In the world ask.
i Ing tor the opinion of men versed In ama
teur sport Very few question were asked
of Americans, and It was curious that
those In a position were not asked for their
views. For Instance no man at the htad
of the Intercollegiate A. A. A. A., or the
Amateur Athletic union, the two great
governing bodies of amateur spot t In Amer
ica, told what they thought would be a
good all around definition of the amateur.
The views of a few Americans were pub
lished, but they were useless because tliey
came from men who were not versed In
the modern statistics of track and field
sports or else knew little or nothing about
amateurism. It was remarkable that one
or two Americans gave opinion, and they
were never Inside an athletic field In
their lives nor hod affiliation with any
athletic association on this sfde of the
water.
American Resile Interest.
In referring to the Information from
Amer.ca the "Revue Olyplque" say: "The
replies from tho American associations and
universities are perhaps the most Interest
ing of all the series In that they exemplify
the variations in point of detail which
may accompany agreement In principle.
The questions put by Prof. Sloone are not
identified with the five Sent round tf the
European associations, but they develop the
same opinions. The preliminary questions
as to the desirability of a general definition
of the amateur and the advlsiblllty of re
stricting international sport by such a defi
nition reveals a large majority In favor
of the movement toward unification, while
all are agreed that no athlete can derive
profit directly In money or money's worth
and remain an amateur.
"When, however, we arrive at the de
batable ground of expenses, we find that
while five universities agree with the
limitation of expenses, two universities and
six associations do not. The United States,
we may remember, is a vast country, and
the difficulties Inherent upon the develop
ment of amateur sport there have ren
dered some relaxation to the hard and fast
limit necessary. But many suspensions
have been made of athletes who have de
manded unreasonable expense money, and
It may be t taken that while the associa
tions, limiting expenses to actual disburse
ments of the athlete, are not prepared to
set down any definite limit to the amount
of expenses which an athlete may Incur
owing to the magnitude of the Journeys
which he may be compelled to take, j In
Europe generally the allowance of travel
ing and hotel expenses Is recognized, bnt In

Rheumatism Is an acrid blc od fermentation, a souring of the circu
lation from an excess of uric icid in the blood stream. This urtic
impurity is transmitted to the tilood through the process of absorption,
and comes as a result of con itipation, indigestion and other systemic
irregularities. j
When the blood becomes infected with this uratic impurity the
complications of Rheumatism are set up. The circulation is no longer
able to furnish the different muscles, nerves and joints with the nourish
ment and strength they need, but instead deposits into these members the
gritty, pain-producing acid with which it is contaminated. I
Rheumatism is usually manifested in the joints and muscles, it is
here its sharpest twinges of pain are felt and stiffening of ligaments and
tendons first commence. The pain of Rheumatism is caused by the
contact of the sensory nerves with the gritty, acrid formation which uric
acid causes to accumulate in the corpuscles of the blood about the joints. ;
The severer symptoms of the disease come on gradually. Constantly
the circulation deposits the uric acid particles into the muscles and
! joints, and slowlv the natural fluids

recommended of making the relmbnrse
nents through a club and not direct to a
competitor.
Returning from the side Issues Involved
n the answers to the questions put by
the International Olympic committee to the
whole subject of amateurism, we may note
(hat the committee have already prepared
the way for a farther forward movement
by selecting two sports for spec al discus
sion fencing, whereupon France Is tsk'njr
up the question of a definition, and trnek
and field athletics. In regard to which the
study of the subject Is left to the United
Kingdom representatives. The reason for
select ng two sports so widely separated In
their aspect may be questioned, but care
ful consideration suggests that In- taking
fencing the most aristocratic of the
Olympic sports and athletics, the most
democratic, the committee has acted with
great wisdom. If a formula can be found
wh'ch will un'te the extremes, not so
great a difficulty need be anticipated In
dealing with the intermediate degrees of
opinion.
Wide Range of Opinions.
"As to the reinstatement of the profes
sional into good standing as an amateur,
there are a var'ety of opln'ons. The gen
eral view Is that an act of professionalism
does not altogether close the avenue to
the mateur ranks, but that each cae
should be taken upon Ita merits. Some
hold that requallflcatlon should not be
authorised except by an International
tribunal, but presumably this would apply
only to such as would affect International
compctlt'on.
"The lax view of certain English so
cieltles on this point do not find much
support elsewhere, but It must be borne
In mind that in many case their re'n
statemrnt are not of out and out profes
sionals, but of men whose offense lies In
competing at meetings, or in events, not
under their control, and this side of the
subject, being purely domestic. Is not
raised on the d'ecusslon of an Interna
tional deflnlt'on. But the pthlete who hns
embarked upon a profesnlonal career In
full knowledge should not be regarded as
a desirable person In the amateur ranks,
even though he recants, and while the au
thorities of each sport in every country
mav reserve the right to reinstate under
exceptional circumstances, the federations,
were the questions put to them, would
probably be found to agree that a rein
stated professional should not be allowed
to compete In International sport unless
his reinstatement wo confirmed by an
International committee at least twelve
month before the entries for the game
closed."

Men Who Guide Autos Suffer Hish
Nervous Tension.
0LDFIELD BITES HIS BIG CIGAR
Ontvrardly There Is a Front of Calm
ness, hnt the Game riara on the
Nerves of the Drivers,
Nevertheless.
NEW YORICOct. . "The public hears
constantly of the great nervous stiuin
under which automobile racing drivers la
bor during a hard contest, and yet, as a
general thing, this strain is taken purely
as a hearsay matter," says Jesse Kroeli
lich, managing director of the Hens con
cern. "Many of the little Incidents occur
ing during a big road race plainly show
the great nervous tension under which
drivers labor.
"In the recent Vanderhllt cup race
David Bruce-Brown of the Beni team
pulled up at the side of the road to replace
a tire and was Immediately surrounded
by the surging crowd; In fact, the curious
spectators crowded the Bens driver so
closely that ho and his mechanician were
seriously hampered In their effort to re
place the tire.
"At this Bruce-Brown became so excited
that he selued a wrench from his car and
actually made a 'snipe' at one of the most
troublesome spectators. It Is a fact that
will be acknowledged by everyone ac
quainted with the usually smiling Bruce
Brown that no man Is more good natured
than he. In this particular Instance, how
ever, his manner was so convincing that,
curious as the crowd was, they gave the
Bens car a liberal margin and stopped hin
dering Bruce-Brown and his mechanician
in their tire replacement
"Outwardly, of course, all racing drivers
are apparently stolid and unemotional, and

they themselves are doubtless unaware
of the violent mental strain under which
they are laboring. Barney OUtfletd. that
veteran of racing, with his hundreds of
eper1ences In both road and track racing,
the man who with his JUO- horse-powei
Bern holds the world's record for the fast
est mile ever travelled, shows the Increased
nervous tension under which he labors by
a little Increased chewing on the butt of
hi Inevitable cigar. This is scarcely per
ceptible, and outwardly the man eeenis to
have Iron nerves. Tet, after a race, his
cigar shows deeper teeth marks than un
der normal conditions.
"Eddie Hearne of the Hens team, who
Is famous for his fearless driving, goes
In apparently the must Indifferent and
business like way viewing a race purely
as something else to be accomplished In
the day s work. Nevertheless he uncon
sciously labors under the tension of con
centrated application to the business In
hand. When the men at the Bens pit were
particularly slow In making a tire change
during the recent Vanderb.lt cup race,
tears of rase came into Hearne s eyes. Try
as he would he could not restrain this
sign of emotion when he realised his Bent
car was losing valuable seconds In appar
ently unnecessary delays.
"Erwln Bergdoll. the Philadelphia driver
whose Bens led for ten laps in the Fair
mount Park road race, recently said to me:
"The greatest strains on a driver are those
entailed by lack of confidence in his car.
I never have any doubt but that My Bens
will stand up for any strain to which I
may subject It I know when I enter It In
a rare that no vital part of the car, e ther
the steering gear, the axles, wheels or
transmission, will ever go back on me.
I would not drive a car In which I did
not have perfect confidence because every
race driver knows that not only Is he
endangering r.fe and limb in a car of
doubtful quality, but that the constant
nervous tension Is bound to interfere with
his success. 1 linve driven my Bens to
the limit, but have never yet been able
to subject it to any ctraln which It was
not competent to thoroughly withstand.
With my Ben I always enter a race free

should draw a freight ear on the road
where Hemery was driving he would
neither swerve to the right nor the left
but would ride over It If he Could, or
through it If that was Impossible.
"Yet at the start of a race Hemery ln
vnrlably glances at the grand stand and
Ic.cates his charming Parisian wife some
where among the spectators before putting
his Hens in motion. The ordinary specta
tors of a race can scarcely realise the
mixed emotions and , feelings and wild
thought which follow each other In rapid
successions in the minds of the drivers In
a long and hard road race."
