PRESIDENT PULLlAM HERE
CONFERRED WITH BARNEY DREY-
FUSS AND j. T. BRUSH.
National League Matters Discussed
Pulliam Declined to Give Proba-
BILE Terms Of Peace.

Harry Pulliam, the new president Of the
National League. and Barney Dreyfuss. Of
the Pittsburg club. were in the city yester-
day in conference with John T. Brush. The
three claimed it was merely a short friend
ly visit that brought them together, but
National League matters were no doubt
discussed at length.
President Pulliam declined to talk about
the coming peace conference Of the Nation
al and American League committees at
Cincinnati, Jan. 5. When asked about the
probability of there being a twelve-club
organization as a means OF settlement be-
tween the two big leagues he said he pre-
ferred to let the American League people
discuss the probable outcome of the confer
ence rather than to have the National
League men make statements. He did not
know who Chairman Hermann would ap-
point on the committee In place Of James
A. Hart, who will be unable to attend the
peace conference. A request has been
made to postpone the meeting, but Presi-
dent Johnson has declined to agree to a
postponement. President Pulliam believes
there will be an amicable settlement of the
war, but will not discuss the terms on
which peace may be reached.
Mr.. Dreyfuss and Mr.. Brush laughed at
the idea of the American League securing
grounds in New York Mr.. Dreyfuss says
grounds being secured In New York by
President Johnson. as he realizes how
futile are the efforts Of the American to
secure a suitable site in the metropolis
Dreyfuss left for Pittsburg last evening
and Pulliam went to Louisville.

FAVORS MASS PLAYS.



NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-In the face Of at
tempts made by several college presidents
against the present. system of mass plays in
football games, DIR. Carl Williams. head
coach of the University Of Pennsylvania
eleven, has come out as a strong advocate
of this style of play. DR.. Williams declares
that a change in the rules will only work
harm to the game 1T would be a serious
mistake to eliminate concerted attack,
says DR.. Williams. ITO do so would deprive
the game of its distinctive character and
seriously impair, if not ruin it. The bru-
tally is in the man, not In the rules. The
American game would soon degenerate into
something similar to the English game, il
the rules should be changed. English foot
ball is only a preparatory game, not call
ing for the strategic skill the Americans
have gradually developed. In the American
game weight and strength are not the sole
ity and the power of quick thought so es-
sential to the successful player"
DR.. Williams does not believe this agita-
ton will result in any changes in the rules.
There has been no marked increase in IA
talities, he says, and he thinks he is war
ranted in saying that the only players who
get seriously hurt are members of smaller
college elevens who have not received the
proper training, and hence are not able to
stand the seventies of the game. 1t is alb
surd in his opinion, to assume that the au-
thorities of the various universities could
successfully revise the rules, for they are
men who know little about football, and
what they say is mostly hearsay.
