FOOTBALL MEN
LOSE HEADGEAR
intercollegiate Committee Declares
Against the Protectors.

NEW YORK, April AT the inter-
collegiate football rules committee
meeting, at Atlantic City, there was
long discussion on changes in the play
ing rules, and the committee adjourned
until April IS to finish the discussion.
Two changes were decided on. In
the first place the side scored against
Will have the privilege of kicking off
or making the other side kick. This
will give the losing team a chance to
get the ball and try to work it down the
field, instead Of having to go on the de-
fensive again.
The other change provides that in
future games hard headgear will not
be allowed on the field, and pads will
be forbidden except when they are soft.
With this change mass play will be
dangerous, and it is thought it will be
hard to get men strong enough in the
head to buck a line under the changed
conditions.
1t was declared after the meeting
that, although no agreement had been
reached as to the manner of forbid
ding mass play, five colleges were in
favor of stopping it, Yale and Pennsyl-
vania being the only ones to hold out
against it's adjustment. 1t is probable
that the majority will win, and that
some rule to make the game more open
will be evolved which will be satisfac-
tory to all.

the evident fear that England had lost
the match The Londoners had counted
on Atkins winning his game. but, pressed

hastily and lost. This defeat, Pillsbury's
draw and Trenchard's resignation left
the americans with the best of the days

nearest completion, is evidently hard
pressed. though the English experts say
that he has a fighting chance to win.

CHICAGO BOARDOF
TRADE IN PERIL

CHICAGO, April 3-As a result of
bitter fight that mas sprung up in the
Chicago Board Of Trade over the ques-
ton of puts and calls" evidence has
been laid before the grand jury tend
ing to prove that several Of the most
prominent commission houses in the
city have been guilty of "bucketshop-

men will be called upon to give bonds
the men against whom indictments
have been voted are members Of four
of the leading and most wealthy COM
mission houses in Chicago.
The evidence before the jury was
given by Richard W. Morrison, former
assistant state attorney; William Skel-
ly, who declares that he is an investi-
gator, and NJ. J. Riese, an attorney.
The dispute among the members Of
the Board of Trade regarding the oueS-
ton of puts and calls" has reached
such a stage that 500 members, con-
shutting a majority, declare that I'M
less they shall secure what they wish
in the way of an amendment to pend

the legislature such a bill as will re-
suit in the closing of the doors Of the
Board of Trade.
The 900 members of the board are
opposed to eight directors. The ma
jority has drafted an amendment to a
law passed in 1874, which makes it Il

Ten out of thirteen Of the directors
voted for these resolutions, but after

WASHINGTON. D. c., April AT a

is construed as meaning that the pitcher
in taking his position, shall place no part
