"INSIDE STUFF"
IN FOOTBALL
Average Spectator Is Blind to
Fine Points of Sport
BASEBALL IS MUCH' EASIER.
Almost Any One Can Follow Plays In
National Game, but Coaches and Ex
perts Only Understand1 Inner Work
ings of Gridiron Contest.
It is strange that the ordinary spec7"
tator of a football game never seems to
see the inside workings of the teams.
Contrary to baseball, where every
thing can be seen, the inside workings
of football are nearly always conceal
ed, even to the students of the game,
and only apparent to the coaches.
If the layman could see a black
board talk of football men he would
understand that every man has some
specific duty to perform in every in
dividual play, both offensively and de
fensively. If the player starts off on the run
with the ball in, his arm the spectator
will watch him and never seem to no
tice the menwho have made the way
clear for him.
In the defense as well the spectator
sees only the man who tackles the
runner, while the player who possibly
broke up the play would never be no
ticed. ' , -
Baseball players of the old days,
when they went to bat, were told to
hit the ball, if possible, paying no at
tention to the hit and run game, the
sacrifice hit, the squeeze play or the
hit to right field.
The same may be said of old time
football. The man was given the ball
and told to run with it, and very little
attention was given to the assistance
received from his teammates.
There is by far more "inside work"
in a game of football than in base
ball for the reason that every single
team, whether on the offensive or de
fensive, has some specific duty which
each man on the team is coached to do.
There are also many instances of
quick thinking where a man by doing
something away out of the ordinary
will pull oft a great play.
The defensive man by shifting his
position and in different little maneu
vers may force the quarterback on the
offensive team to put the play wher
ever he may desire, just the same as a
baseball pitcher by throwing a certain
curve can make the batsman hit in a
certain direction.
Bob Torrey in the Harvard game in
1904 by his constant shifting and ma
neuvering forced the Harvard quarter
back to put the play in almost any
place he wished it to go.
Tom Bukiewitz used to watch for
the starting signal or certain character
istics of the opposing team whereby he
could tell exactly when the ball would
be snapped almost the same as a
coacher will watch for the signal of an
offensive baseball team.
The unexpected is very often pulled
on the opposing team, such as Prince
ton having Poe kick a field goal in
preference to using its usual drop
kicker or such things as Al Miller per
formed in the 1008 Penn-Cornell game.
The signal was given for a real for
ward pass, but Miller, finding his men
covered, ran with it instead. In bluff
ing to pass the ball he had the Cornell
men trying to block his pass and in
stantly would take the ball on his arm
and run down the field with it.
Vincent Stevenson, the quarterback
of the Penn team in 1904, was also a
great inside football player. In the
Harvard game in 1904 he would shoot
plays at a certain spot in the line in
order to draw in the tackle, even know
. ing that he could not gain any ground.
After he succeeded in drawing these
men in he would give the signal for his
own fast end run.
His work in that game will never be
forgotten by the spectators who were
fortunate enough to see it, and his
work was made possible by his quick
thinking brain.
DAVIS TENNIS CUP PLAY.
English Tennis Stars Will Meet Aus
tralians at Melbourne.
The British Isles lawn tennis chal

Young Jack's Weight Increases.
Young "Philadelphia Jack" O'Brien
has grown from a featherweight to an
138 pounder in less than two years.
He saya It won't be long before he'll
be mingling with the welterweights.
Giving Pa a Treat.
Mr. Smith had the habit of lighting
his cigar after dinner, puffing it foi
awhile and then laying it down on the
ash tray. Later he would relight 11
and finish his smoke. Often three oi
four unfinished cigars would be on the
tray.
One day his small son, sitting neai
by, watched his father light one of the
short variety and said:
"How do you like that one, papa?"
"This, my son, is a very good cigar,"
replied the father, blowing long puffs
into the air. "
"I thought you'd- like it, papa. 1
found It in the gutter outside." Lon

How tHe Run oh the
Bank Was Stopped
By EVELYN TISDALE
When I was married I had $50,000 in
hard cash and had been assistant cash
ier In a bank. I concluded to go west
to some promising town and open a
bank.
There was one bank where I set
tled. Barton's, that previous to my en
tering the field had done all the busi
ness there was to do. Barton was very
much disgruntled at having to give up
any( of it to me and did all he could
covertly to injure me and my credit.
He was not liked, being considered a
skinflint, and 1 gradually cut into his
business. " This gain on my part was
partly due to my wife, who made her
self very popular with, her acquaint
ances and brought me many valuable
accounts.
The town was growing, and there
was business for two banks. If I had
not occupied the field some one else
would have done so. But Barton
wanted it all and acted accordingly.
All went well enough till the panic of
1893 came on, when we were all in for
hard times. Barton was known to
have much more capital than 1, but
most of those having deposits with me
felt friendly to me or to my wife or
to both of us, and I was able to keep a
pretty steady rein on them. A few drew
their accounts and placed them with
Barton. This would have been all the
detriment to me that would have oc
curred during the panic had not Bar
ton, through others in his Interest, cir
culated reports that I would not pull
through.
One morning when I went to busi
ness I found a crowd waiting for the
opening of my doors and knew that
the blow had fallen. I was in for a
run. Calling the employees together,
I 'gave them instructions in practicing
the usual delays resorted to by bank
ers while standing a run. Then at the
opening hour the paying teller's win
dow was" thrown up there was no like
lihood of the receiving tellers having
anything to do and the struggle com
menced. I had got in some gold the night be
fore by express after banking hours
and had kept it at home. I thought it
might be advisable to leave it there for
awhile, for in case my bank should go
by the board I would need something
to put me on my feet again. When I
went home at noon to dinner I told
Lizzie that in case I should send for
the money to bring it to me herself,
carrying it in such a way that the
waiting crowd of depositors would pre-,
sume that she was bringing me gold.
Two days after this, when most of
our ready cash had been paid out and
it appeared that we would have to go
under. I looked over a list of depositors
still unpaid and decided to put in my
reserve, hoping with it to weather the
storm. So I sent a messenger to Mary
to bring it to me.
In due time, looking out the window
of my private office, I saw her alight
from a cab with the messenger, who
came in and said he wished a man to
assist in removing treasure. The two
went back to the carriage and brought
in a sack that it required both of them
to carry. I was astounded, for the
amount -liiad at home could easily
have been carried by Lizzie. The
crowd, seeing the load going into the
bank, set up a cheer, and some of them
left the line and went away.
The sack was brought Into my office.
I opened it and found my gold on top
of several hundred pounds of nut coaL
I threw my arms about Lizzie's neck,
praising her Inventive genius, then or
dered the gold not the coal dumped
In a heap on the paying teller's desk.
Those nearest the window set up an
other shout, and the paying teller, by
my order, began paying out the gold
with considerable alacrity. More of
those In line went away without wait
ing to be paid, and I was pleased to
see they were those to whom I owed
the largest balances. Before the clos
ing hour the line had dwindled to a
few persons having merely household
accounts. The backbone of the run
had been broken.
But Barton In undermining me had
destroyed confidence even in himself,
and, while I was feeling the tail end
of a run, he was in the hottest part of
one. Lizzie, who had gone home, re
turned, passing Barton, and. seeing the
crowd, conceived the Idea of extend
ing to him the succor she had given
me. Continuing on to the bank, she
confided her plans to me, and. placing
$1,000 in gold on top of the coal, I
sent two of our messengers with it to
Barton. They were recognized by the
crowd in line as our messengers, and
the depositors, presuming they came
with a loan, went wild with delight.
I sent a note by the messengers to
Barton suggesting that he pay out the
gold as I had done.
I was greatlv relieved to see the
throng before Barton's gradually dwin
dle, and when both banks opened the
next morning there were no depositors
waiting before either.
1. or rather Lizzie, was wiser than
Barton, who in destroying confidence
in me had undermined himself. By
helping him we re-established confi
dence and gained the name of having
pulled him through. At any rate,
from that time forward my bank, be
ing supposed to be the stronger, did
the bulk of the business.
I take no credit whatever in the mat
ter, that all being due to my wife.
Had It not been for her happy thought
and her putting it Into practice I am
quite confident that Barton and I
would have gone down together.
A Storm from ADove xne oiouas.
The view of a stormcloud from above
Is one of the most interesting sights
ever beheld by mortal man. A storm
viewed from above the clouds has the
appearance of ebullition. The upper
surface of the cloud is bulged upward
and outward and has the resemblance
of a vast sea of boiling, upheaving
snow. Immediately above the storm
cloud the air is not so cold as It is in
the clearer atmosphere above or in the
cloud itself. The falling of the rain
can be distinctly heard, making a noise
like a waterfall over a precipice. The
thunder heard above a stormcloud is
not loud, and- the flashes of lightning
appear like streaks of intensely white
light on the gray colored vapor.

The Irishman, recovering from his

butler at 45 Portland place, he said,
"D'ye think it could be Portland

comprehensive look of a butler who
reads his Morning Post and said cold

A Nose tax.
A "nose tax" was in the ninth cen
tury exacted by the Danes from the
householders in Ireland. It 'was so
called not because It was levied on
noses, but from the fact that a failure
to pay was punished by slitting the
nose from tip to eyebrow. It was con
tinued during thirteen years, when the
householders, objecting to this treat
ment of their nasal ornaments, rose in
rebellion, massacred all the Danes In
Ireland and put an end to the nose slit
ting. None Sold.
