Answers to Queries on Soccer Football rpaE record attendance at the final tie X for the English Football association cup was at crystal Palace in 1913. when Aston Villa beat Sunderland by one goal to nil. The attendance waa 121,919. Like yourself, should like to know of a single club in either the English. Scot tish or Irish leagues that ta owned by one man. When a player Is suspended he should not take any active part in the game and cannot legally act as linesman. Dangerous charging may be simplified by being described as using unnecessary weight. If players Vould learn to hustle an opponent off the ball, dangerous charging would not occur. Tou ought to write funny atariea. If the ball remained balanced on the top of the crossbar what should the referee do? Order It to come down and if It does not, report it for disobeying his orders (ungentlemanly conduct).. Do not take this seriously. The home team is responsible for the .payment of the referee's fee. They alao are responsible for any misconduct by spectators towards him after the game. For a player to molest the referee and especially get hold of him viciously after the game Is one of the most serious offenses known in the game. No auch offense as obstruction or im peding Is mentioned in the laws of the game. If you obstruct or Impede when off side you are punishable for being off aide. If on side you can obstruct or Impede an opponent.

The Yankees are favored to win because of their acquisition of two tested right hand pitchers, Jones and Bush. The Yanks' left handers are uncertain ele ments. Harry Harper may round into form. The Central league will have a general shake up in managers for next season. Jimmy Sharp, who led Lodington to a pennant, has arranged for hla release and is after a new berth. The Kalama aoo club haa released its former man ager, George Tomer, to Binning am, where he will try to fill the shoes of Dutch Bernsen at first base. "Wild Bill" Donovan has been ap pointed manager of the New Haven Baseball club of the Eastern league. Donovan succeeds Chief Bender, who haa managed New Haven two years, Duffy Lewis, manager of the Salt Lake club, has signed Lem Owens, a Washington. D. C. pitcher, for a tryout with the Bees. Manager Esstck of the Vernon Tigers contemplates trading Outfielder Eding ton and "Scotty" Alcock to the Beau mont club for Jake May, southpaw pitcher.

The Seals picked, up Jim O'Connell in Sacramento and who knows but what Doyle may be another wonder.

Hank waa stern tn his rul ings, prompt fo making his decisions and strict and firm in his dealings with players. - No man knows the rules of the gams any better than - O'Day. Players as a general thing are not well versed in the rules. The majority of players, in fact, never make a close study of the rules. Hank O'Day received his appointment as a National league umpire from Nick Young, of Washington, D. O. when he was president of the parent baseball organisation. "Uncle Nick" never re gretted making the appointment. Hank became so proficient that he soon gained the reputation of being the best um pire on Young's staff and was assigned to the moat important contests. IS VET OF TITS Hank saw many umpires come and go, but both he and Bob Emslie. who was also appointed by Nick Young, lasted' two ugh the regimes of all the presi dents who followed "Uncle Nick." Harry Pulliam succeeded Young, and it waa during the litter's administration that Hank made his famous over-night de cision la 1908 when Fred Merkle failed to touch second base. That resulted in the game being called "no contest-" The game was played off the next day on the Polo grounds. CUBS WOJT PEICNAjrT The Chicago Cubs won out. thereby winning the deciding game for the championship of the National league. OTay was a pitcher, as was Emslie, in his playing career. Hank was on the Washington Nationals, and from there came to this city and became a member of the Giants, together with Mickey Welch and Tim Keefe. Hank drifted back to Chicago and was quick ly, appointed an umpire. He has not enjoyed the best of health since he was hit by a foul ball tip on his right ear. necessitating a serious operation. Hank must be about 65 years of age. but he appeared to have good eyesight and ex cellent Judgment last season. Hank O'Day will be missed. He is a grand old character.
