Lato Season of Football Upsets Shows Forward Pass in Favor.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS ".EftVICEl XHW YORK. Ieo. 11. Inconsistency fceldom serves as a boost to tho p pularity of any frame, but in the cisc of football as she was dished, up this year it acted with reverse Kr.fr'.ish. The. 1913 season was a veritnh'e. eem for Inconsistency. Kootbal! was played In half a dozen speeds by praet tenlly every team of consequence in the country. .As pure as a Saturday rolled around the. exporting persons Rot a s-nr.d wallop In the plats, for foe.tb.il! teamr of every calibre contln rally upset the oh! percolator. The season ran true to its form right up to the lat grasp when the .Navy out-muddd the Army. It was surely a crazy fiison from the standpoint of the "dopestfr" Fait tlie public liked it. The inconsistency of 1S19 football served as a preat stimulant To public interest and the frame faded out for the year mere popular than ever before, Th public likes to be surprised. It FtBa lot of thrills out of seeifi,? a record-rat eleven humble the pride of a ttam that takes rank with the topnot chers aitd then In turn witnessing: the trond-rate etrg:re?ation g"et a srr.eariE: a the hands or feet of a hunch of third raters. AVe can think of no other sport which, -mbracln the liri;e field eneomp.-sed by football. b.3s the same c b.iree of furnishing so many surprises. Football holds the sp")rtinsr srtlirht fer i.hout ten weeks. All of its bite champions and blue ribbon fixtures are dfcided in that length of time, and because of the style of the c-ajne as it is played today ne.ir'y anything in the lir" of the unusual esn and does harpen. The new style of play the open pa-ne is the game for the public. Tlvrc lino doubt about it. As a spectact.lar exhibition football, as now played. Is just as satisfactory baseball. boir.g. rw-

The portly president of the junior major circuit has soured a rbcMed polities; victory over the ,'!nuirjjtit element," which sought t) oust him from the president, or at least amputate his powers . The many summons served on Mr. Johnson at Wednesday's meeting grave evidence that the tlht is to be carrie.i on In tl-.e courts. Johnson has twenty days in which to reply and twenty more days in which to Contest in the courts asalnst aim charging conspirii' y in Uie Maya caae, questioning his dealings with the telepraph company and dc n inif bis right to the residency of tlie American leacue. The t.' xt barrrtge will he hld by tlie lawyers, who have the fate of th "insurgents" cause in their hands. Meanwhile tho newly-elected board or directors, all Johnson men and Johnson himself, will run the league for another year. There is no chance that the league will be broken up by the dropping: out of any of the clubs. Harry Frazee, one of the insurgents, made this plain today. "We have no thntiRht of fretting out of the league," said Frazce. "bat we will continue to fight Johnson thru
