An Advance In Their Playing Over the Previous Week Other Amateur Sport, Saturdays game at Cambridge brought up visions of delightful possibilities. It is not that the game In itself was free from faults for faults abounded. But there was such marked improvement over the work of a year ago and so much that was real football. There were times when of necessity one lost himself in enthusiasm at the zealous endeavor of the whole team to aid the various plays. The right spirit is at work, and, persisted in with the eagerness of Saturday, Harvard need not he ashamed of the outcome, whatever it may be, of the final contest.

And yet there were times when the old disintegrating feeling crept out and a doable rage took the spectators that those who had proved that they could do so much, did so little. In a vital straggle where the carelessness or lack of alertness for a single moment might prove fatal the preseat stylo of lay would be dangerous. Football is a game in which in the spirit of its players there should be no instant of flag ging interest from the outset until the end. For what advantage an alert opponent may reap only the outcome will tell. It is in the fostering of tbe feeling of a sure thing anyway that the danger in these games with the smaller colleges comes.

Feeling sure of victory, effort is relaxed. Trained in this method can a team stand a contest for an hour and a half without let np? Saturdays game was marred throughout hy just this uncertainty. A play in which there was all the spirit which could be wished, was followed by one in which lounging was the rale. The Williams team was above the average in line work. Behind the line Garfield was the only player who showed particular strength.

The fallback was uncertain and almost timid when called nnon to kick. And this was frequent after Williams had learned how strong their opponents were in defence. But once in the first half did they hr.ak through Harvard centre, and then it was the result of Harvard inattention. In the second half they were more successful, and made not a few short gains through the centre, almost always at Msckie's place. Bui to Harvards game fortheinterest of our neighborhood centered on her game.

Harvard started the game with much snap. Her was successful and two sharp rushes gave her a touch-down. It ha been a Harvard fault to open slowly, and ker aggressiveness rra Saturday was a revelation. With the ball 1:1 VI il-liamss hands, she was none the less aggressive, and after three downs with slight gain Harvard again took the hall. It was the Fame story throughout.

Williams's hall, three downs. Harvard's hall, and a touchdown. Foster made his first appearance as an end in Emmons place, who is laid up. Heshowed himif a most reliable player, a hard worker, eaer to be of service, lie drove Isis men in. broke through well, tacked well and was quick to take advantage of chances to get the ball.

Masons strength stands him in good stead. He is easily turned aside from thinking of hi game, and In mniiing with the ball shows a nervousness and forgets that forward and not bark is the rule. He tackles fairly but a little clumsily, and has a tendency to let go of his man before he is "desd. Waters is doing excellent work at guard. He blocks well, is often called upon to bead the interference, and in bucking the centre has made good gains.

Hero he is effective, but hois slow in starting, a mtle more and he would find himself out of the play. In breaking through he is again slow, out once through he is miter the ball in earnest and tackles well and hard. At centre Lewis has shown, great improvement. He began the season with tne idea that passing tbe ball was hi only duty, and that once done he had time enough ani to spare to prepare for the next down. Today he has thrown aside that idea.

He IdnrRs better, and the ball once passed, he is afterit and tries to get into the interference. The ball once downed, he seizes it quickly and Is ready for the next play. As an aid sharp work a prompt centre is and Lewis is developing admirably. A iltt'e slow in breaking through, a fault perhaps due to the position in which ho holds himself, but winch he is bettering. he is after the rur.uer promptly and tackles well, and is ever ready to cover the ball.

On Saturdv Marsie did not show np In his form. That he was somewhat Injured was the cause. Hn has already len we-ghed the balance and not found wanting. Nor does the play of either Newell or Halluwell need comment. They are everywhere and alwavs after the ball; a wonderfully strong pair, and each the complement of the other.

In running with the ball. Newell Is very sow in getting away from his place and strikes the other side with his head too much up in the air. On Saturday Hallowell again proved him-if on hand and ready for ail opportunity. From a kick lie seized the ball, and coming more than half the length of the field, made a touchdown. Ills blockers-off alligned themselves quickly, and with the exception of one or two straggler, ran the, thing out as they should.

Beh'nd the line barchild as quarter ts doing well. lie has a tendency to fumble. Iu tackling hn Is excellent and in interference does hi part. Iraffordis improving in every rart of his play-kicking. tackling and interference.

He plays kis pa-t. and still as captain 1 everywhere and attentive to all details, encouraging and aiding his men. Corbett does not improve. Of eourse he made fine runs on Saiur lay. lie always dues.

But there wero times when his playing won Id have teen a disgrace to a green player, when a rer on whom much and careful coach-ng has been expended still holds to his gluriug faults and fIiows no effort to rid himself of them, something is wrong. He either cannot or will not remedy them. And in either cae then is but one remedy to replace him. On Saturday With the William team over him ho dribbled the hall a quarter of the way aero the field. He finally got the ball and made a run.

Such playing, no matter what its results, is not football, and Harvard cannot afford to allow her men to rlay siiv such way. Again, running with the hall and being tacked lie seemed to let go of the ball altogether, thinking that ridding himself ot the opponent is the first thing to be done and foruetting that in a runner to hold the ball is first always. The other hack. Gray, 1 a thoroughly reliable player, who does his work well. He keeps his wits about him and remembers that every Inch gained count.

Running in a crowd he keeps his feet remarkably well. Upton, who played during the second half, showed his old-time spirit. He is a herd worker, and with hie eye constantly on the ball is after ii wherever it is. In running with the ball he goes determinedly, hut is a little s.ow in finding his holes. Cases of individual faults were numerous, bnt the change is in the right direction.

1 lie coach for the last week must congratulate himself on the new spirit which he has succeeded in infusing. and which augurs well for the result which nliKO eagerly wish. The score stood. Harvard 52, Williams 0. in two thirty-minute halves.

No arrests have been made. A YOUNG HERO KILLED.

10. A sensation has been created by the suit of Comity Treasurer George W. Collett against the Springfield Savings Bank for taxes on personal property for the past five years, aggregating $05,000. The officials of the hank refuse to pay on the gronnd that their depositors par the tax as required by law oa their deposits, which constitute part of their personal property. The bank pays tax on its surplus.

Tims, they claim, both taxes are paid once, an 1 it is unjust to tax any part twice. It is the first of its kind and will be watched with interest. The hank officials assert that they will carry their case to the Supreme Court in case it goes against them. Electric Lights in Braintree. Braintree.

Absolutely Pure A cream ef tartar baking Powder. Highest of all In leavening strength. Latest United States Government Food Jiepert WaUatjN.Y There can be no doubt that the near approach of election day, and the increasing interest felt in the contest, is having its effect at last upon the mal estate as well as the other market.

In mortgagee the monetary situation is making it self felt. At the beginning of last week 4 per cent money for good mortgages could not be obtained; and when, toward the end of the week, the market grew easier, mortgages could not he placed for less than 4tt per cent. Today the rate hangs at 4V4 per cent for even the best mortgages. This stringency was originally caused by the action of the New York banks in drawing about $2,000,000 from Boston daring the first of last week. There is a fair business being done in small estates, and the number of auctions does not seem to vary mnch from week to week.

Still, there is a general air of holding back about the market, and it is probable that this condition will last until the issue of the Presidential campaign has been decided. Last Weeks Business. Last weeks business, as recorded on the files of the Real Estate Exchange, and compared with that of the week before, is as follows: Week ending Oct 18. Oct 15.

C. T. A. I So- Americans on the Gilbert Islands Insulted. San Francisco.

Oct 17. News from Butaritara, the chief city of the Gilbert Islands, gives a gloomy outlook for American traders on the islands unless the United States does something to protect their rights. Since the British ilag was hoisted in July the Americans have been subjected to many Insults and the native chiefs have been plainly told not to pay any attention to the orders of United States Consular Agent Rick, who heretofore had settled all disputes and had been the real rower on the islands. Commander Davis of the British man-of-war Royalist went ont of his way to insult both the king and the leading Americans. A correspondent writing under date of August 18 says Captain Davis flew into a rage when he read les of the San Francisco papers of the attention paid to King Tebureimoa on his re-to, California, He cursed the king and tne Americans, saying the latter had turned the king head with their nonsense, and that he would soon put an end to it.

Then he hauled up Captain Kustel. local manager for Wight-man Brothers of San Francisco, on the complaint of a native of a very unsavorv reputation. The native claimed that Kustel beat him because he deserted from Kustels schooner, where he claimed he was abused. Davis refused to listen to an testimony which Kustel wished to produce. The simple facts were, the native fi red to go with the schooner, and when he got his advance money, deserted.

Kustel chased the native pulled a pistol on him. For this the native was awarded $40 damages by the British commander. Knstel has sent the facts to the secretary of state at Washington, together with an exact report of the profaae language used toward him by Davis. It is no secret that Davis wishes to break the control of the island trade which two big American firms have secured, and turn it over to the Germans. "ven said that the islands were seized by the British in order that they may be traded to the Germans for territory in Africa.

Meanwhile the king is waiting to hear from the United States Government in regard to his application for a protectorate, as he holds the Bmih protectorate is invalid, because it was established without his consent, fine English, one German and one Chinese merchant at Bu-tantari addressed an appeal to Captain Davit to appoint a British agent here with power to regulate the taxes, which they claim are excessive. If this scheme is followed there will surely be the same trouble as at Sainsa. EVIL OF DRINK. Bishop of London Believes Much of It Due to the Unhealthy Excitement of City Life. London, OcL 17.

The Daily Telegraph publishes a long interview with the Bishop of London on the subject of the drinking evil. The bishop regarded as the worst svmptorn of mis. chief the greater shamelessness of women in public drinking. He said he had heard of cases where pretty women, likely to draw enstnm, were served gratis at taverns a practice which, lie declared, ought to le inquired into. lie feared that much was due to tne unhealthy excitement of city life, and thought that one could only look to the Gospel and to a gradual change of moral character for amelioration.

He feared that a State home for habitual drunkards would be of little avail, because the officials would lark the inoral ami sympathetic influence necessary to secure reform. "One thing is certain, he said, "it ought to be made a penal offence to serve children with drink at taverns. Tlia sending of children to purchase beer, is tbe premier pas toward forming the drink A LUNATIC'S TERRIBLE WORK. He Hacks Three Persons With a Swortl, Mortally Wounding Two of Them. London, Oct.

Members Interested in the Movement A Distinct Organization. A story that appeared in morning psner to the effect that a new club for the encouragement of sparrisr was to be formed in this city on the lines of the old Cribband Athenian clubs was somewhat misleading. Snch a movement is on foot among some of the best known members of the B. A. A and others, and the result will probably be a reorganization of the old Bay State Club.

Quarters have already been secured, and in all probability the club will start in under a new name early next month. It will be started on a sound financial basis and with a membership of fifty or one hnndred. The announcement that IL S. Cornish, athletic manager of the B. A would have direct charge of the new club Is entirely wrong.

The B. A A as an organization is strongly opposed to sparring meetings, and Mr. Cornish will have no connection, with the new club whatever. Nelson Inness of the Boston Herald Is the man who will manage the new clnbs affairs. II is the intention to make the membership somehow exclusive, and no tickets of admission will he sold to the exhibitions.

Members will be permitted to invite one gnest. Some people have drawn the impression that the B. A A Is connectsd with the new venture bnt snch is not the case. The new clnb is to be aa entirely distinct organization, as mnch so as the Somerset Club, many of whoso member also belong to tho B. A A CAME ON BOARD THE CATALONIA.

Dr. reset of Missouri, conducted the opening religious exercises of the eleventh days session of the Triennial Episcopal conference. The two houses promptly went into business session.

He then made a personal explanation of Ms position and views, stating that though pertinacious in support of measures he regarded as important, Le had never resorted to underhanded methods. Rev. I Jr. Huntington withdrew any remarks he may have made on Saturday which militated against the position just assumed by the deputy from Pittsburg.

He upheld nis reason and reiterated the fact that the representatives of the committee not having any standing in the house were useless. British Flag Torn Down. ew York. OcL 17. It has jut been leaned that an outrage on th British Hag was perpetrated on Wail street on Friday.
