SPORTING.
Moakley to Coach a
College Team.
STILL A TANGLE.
Marlboro Hudson Contro
verSy Not Yet Settled.

John P. Moakley of Boston, official ham
dicapper of the N. L. A. \. a. L, has ac-
cepted the position of trainer of the athletic
team Of the Northwestern University Of
Wisconsin. He will leave Wednesday. Be
tore his departure he will be presented
win q gold stop watch, valued at $780, by
ms friends in athletic and newspaper cir
cless Many Worcester men have contrib
uted TO the purse, wishing to show their
friendship for Moakley. Thomas E. Burke
OF Harvard, the star middle-distance run
ner, Is at the head of the movement to
make Moakley a present. Moakley has
been handicapper for the New England As
sociation since Harry Cornish left Boston
Tor chicago. His Willingness to oblige and
his fairness in the treatment Of athletes
nave made him the most popular man in
New England athletic circles.
Moakley is sure of success at the North
western University. He knows the game
OF running all the way through. Years
ago, before amateur athletics got such a
foothold in New England, Moakley was a
crack half-miler, although a youngster,
and raced against such men as Jim Grant,
the famous distance runner. Moakley
was reinstated and ran as an amateur. He
has had unusual success in training indi-
viduals! He was instrumental in bringing
out Berny Wefers, the greatest amateur
sprinter that ever wore a shoe, and Tom
Burke, who has all kinds of claims on the
quarter and half-mile distances.

OVER POsTPONEMENT.
Hudson-Marlboro Basket Ball Teams
Still Quare Hing About Game of Mar. le

Hudsoh-MaFiporo Basket Ball Teams
Still Quareiing About Game of Mar. I9
Fred Fl. Sawyer of the Hudson basket
ball team evidently does not understand
that the forfeit of the game to the Marl-
boro Basket Ball Association Saturday
evening, March IS, goes. John J. McGrat-
ty, secretary OF the league, received a
letter from Mr.. Sawyer Saturday asking
him to name a date for the postponed
game of March 49, Mr.. McGratty told The
spy man he has the proposition under
consideration.
Marlboro claims the game. 1t was sched-
March Is. McGratty went there to ref
cree the game. Hudson did not put in an
appearance, and Marlboro informed the
referee there had been no agreement to a
postponement. McGratty gave the game
to Marlboro with that understanding. At
the meeting of the league a week ago
reference was made to the decision. No
action was taken.
The question hinges on the point whether
there was a postponement or not. Hud-
son notified Marlboro 16 days before the
date for playing the game that it's direc-
tors had voted to postpone the game, as
the Hudsons had a game two nights pre-
Vious, and did not want another hard
game in that week. AS both teams were
tied, Hudson evidently considered its posi-
tion just. Marlboro took no action 1t did
not agree to postponernent, and when
Hudson failed to appear in Marlboro the
team of that city claimed the game.

BASE BALL RULES.
6ak Rules Are Very Strict This Season
and Affect Both Ends of the Battery.

Reach's official base bali guide for
1899 is out. In addition to the usual
statistical tables, the guide contains the
rules for the coming season. The i'm
portant changes are printed in italics
making it easy to learn them. The balk
rule is interesting. The pitcher can't
make any motion without delivering the
ball under penalty of balk
A new departure is the calling of a
balk if the catcher is out of the lines of
his position. The purpose of this rule
is to prevent the catcher playing un on
the base lines for bunt hits. Another
change is the eliminating of the ten
feet limit in foul tips. Any foul tip now
caught when the catcher is within the
lines of his position IS a strike. A new
penalty is added for interference with a
batsman by the catcher. He is to be
given his base.
