dsr Of His Wife.
Carrollton, Ga, December 16.-The
trial of Robert Smith for murder is
progressing in the superior court here
this week before Judge T. A. Atkin-
son. The plea of insanity is being

Smith and his young wife had only
been married few months last spring
when they disagreed and he drove her
to her fathers, who, after a day or
two, pressed her to return to her hus-
band and on her way back home she
was waylaid by Smith, who sprang
from the bushes and shot her five
times, from which she died in a few

CHICAGO NATIONALS
MAY PLAY WHITE SOX
Series VIII Be Arranged If Minor Clubs
Cancel Games.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-Presidents Hart
and Comiskey, Of the local National and
American league baseball teams, held
conference yesterday In regard to
the preseason games which were to
have been played between the two
clubs. They could come to no agree
ment concerning dates for the games,
as Comiskey is tied up with exhibition
games until the National league sea-
son opens.
If the minor league teams will can
eel their games with the white stock
ings so that the latter can get back
to Chicago from their spring trip by
April II, then the three games between
the Cubs and Comiskey's men will be
played. Otherwise they will have to
go over to fall, when the whole series
will be decided.
The National league meeting will be
held in New York, probably next
Tuesday. The call for it has not yet
been issued, but President Hart said
he expects to leave for New York on
Monday and to be back in Chicago by
Friday, in time to wish the Cubs good
luck on their training trip on Satur-
day, when they leave for Los Ange-
les.
President Johnson said he would an
nounce the date of the American
league meeting today. It will be held
in New York on Wednesday or Thurs
day of next week.

JEFfRIES SCARES
FORT ERIE CLUB
Champions Threat to Kill
COrbett ArOuses Au-
thOrities.

Herman, manager Of the Fort Erie
Herman, manager Of the Firt Erie
Athletic club, will not accept the match
between Jeffrtes and Corbett. He said
today:
81 won't take the fight. That talk Of
killing a man Is too strong. I don't
think 1t could happen with five ounce
gloves. Corbett is safe on that 40
count, although there Is not the least
doubt that jeff Is a hard hitter.
But suppose that Corbett should get
killed in this battle; don't want to
run any chances.
This talk would be a fine excuse
for stopping the fight. I never could
understand on what ground Corbett
figures out that he has right to make
jeff fight. He worked his science
scheme we'll. He went to every gym
nasium and worked out Just to show
people that he was trying to get into
condition. Maybe 1t was a grand
stand play, but 1t worked.
But don't want the fight. It Is an
instance of fighters talking too much.
Why, that remark Of Jeffries, although
a boast, would bring the Canadian au-
thorities up in arms and the fight would
be stopped. Perhaps there may be
places where the battle can take place,
but know after what has been said
that Fort Erie will not stand for any
thing of the kind"

same time retain close formations, that
is Dy having g. man stand close to the
center, take the ball, and then be forced
through the line by the other backs
grouping around him. To obviate this
move, however, the adherents of the
second man plan may insist that tho
rules provide that the man runnina
with the ball stand four or five yards
behind the center.
With their backs having to start
their advance from five yards behind
the line, 1t is argued that they will 60
Tor the ends for gains, rather than try
the line, on account Of the other side
getting through on them If thew go
straight ahead. Light, swift back Of
Metcalf and Foulke type, would come
In handy In such plays, but the swift
slashing ends of the Shevlin-B owditch
type would be there to stop them.
Another point urged in favor Of this
plan Is that 1t would call for more long
passing than at present and improve
the game from q spectacular stand
point. On the other hand, 1t is-eotnt-
ed out that there would be little scor-
Ing In plays Of this sort, and scoring
is what most makes the game interest
ing and is what the people want to see.
The defensive side Of football has

the formations are necessary to cope
with the defense. The center of gray

lower than 1t was eight years ago, and
so, the advocates Of close formations
declare, the present day low defense re.

says, concerning the proposed change
IF the college presidents and school
principals who are advocating more
open play and Improvement of the

gl1tter1ng generalities and be more spe.
cific as to what they want, it might

The Pearls star began to come down

Pearl then fought Charles Turner nine
teen rounds and was knocked out and
when Joe King stopped him in thirty
eight rounds he decided that the new
corners were setting too fast pace and
retired from the ring.
He worked in the West until 1899,
when a number of his friends con-
WINGED him that he could win back all
the lost laurels by defeating Young Pc

battle and met Young jackson in Sc

YOUNG CORBETT
WEAKENED HIMSELF
Worked Too Hard in Endeavor to Get
Down to Weight.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. Is
There were no big Eastern sports at
the ringside, but the opinion among
fair minded local and state sports who
know the game is that the decision
was fair. A small body of local fol-
lowers Of Hanlon declared that the de-
cision was rotten, because their man
had the better Of it in the last four
rounds, but when both men were fight
ing strong in the twentieth round the
referee could have given no other de-
cision.
The secret of Corbetts poor showing,
especially in the first ten rounds, was
that he had overworked on the. day Of
the fight to get down to weight. He
reduced three pounds by hard road
work and got down to 129 pounds, but
1t would have been better for him to
pay the forfeit of $3.50 rather than to
have weakened himself. Those who
have seen him fight in the East de-
clared that his blows lacked tho usual
steam. e.-.-.

Harris Martin, the original Black

CHANGES IN Thu:
FOOTBALL RULES
Many Amendments to Pres
ent Laws Suggested to
Committee.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-No call has
yet been sent out for the football rules
committee to meet and consider
changes in the rules, but the different
members Of the committee are busy
pondertng over changes, with q view
to make the game more open and pos
sibly improve 1t, and getting sugges-
tons thereon.
The indications are there will be a
strong pressure brought to bear to
have the seven forwards stay in line
until the ball Is snapped back and to
permit the first man getting the ball
from the snap back running with 1t. To
so change the rules as to permit the
quarterback, or any other back, to run
with the ball without it having to be
handled by three men Is thought by
some experts to be the most practi-
cable way of discounting mass forma-
lions and encouraging open play.
The thing could be done and at the
