HERMIS BEAT IRISH LAD.

Saratoga, N. Y, Aug. 1S.-The at
tendance at to-days races was al
most equal to that Of Saturday. Her
mis- to-day turned the tables on Irish
Lad and wiped out his defeat in the
Champion on Saturday by defeating
the latter easily by three lengths in
the Merchants and Citizens handicap.
Masterman jumped away as the bar
rier went up and Irish Lad was
promptly at his heels. Just beyond
the quarter pole, however, Hermis
passed them both. Irish Lad followed
the pace, but could not head him. Sum-
mary:
First Race-Seven furlongs. Flying
Ship, to l, won, with Payne, Z to I,
second. and Claude 10 to 1, third. Time
1:25 AS.
Second Race-One mile. The Regent,
6 to l, won, with Beverly, so to 1. Sec
ond, and Scoffer, 40 to l, third. Time

this season, in this respect running
far ahead of his mates. Wordsworth
of Montgomery, ranks second, with 140
total bases to his credit, with Stafford
of Atlanta, third with 1872.
Norcum, of Shreveport, leads the sac
rifjce hitters with % to his credit.
Mathison of Memphis, Glenn of Mem
phis, Bussey of Nashville and Frank
of Little Rock, come second with 16

IL, Stafford being second, with IL re-
corded.
Jimmy Smith, of Shreveport, is the
fieetest base purloiner of the gladia-

son. Mailing, of Little Rock, is sec
ond, with 27, and Duffy. of Birning-
ham. third, with "a stolen sacks. STAFF
ford leads the locals, with Is record
ed, Crozier and Bennett tieing for
second with a total of IS stacked up.
Wordsworth is champion run maker
of the league. The Montgomery out
fielder leads his pals with 6S runs scored
to his credit. Norcum of Shreveport
is second with 81, and Smith of Shreve-
port third with sc. Bob Stafford leads
the Colonies once more and stands
fourth with 60 runs negotiated.
From this compiled from the aver
age it will be seen that Bob Stafford
is the best all around athlete of the
local team and one of the best all
around men of the league, taking every
department Of play into question. He
leads his running mates on the local
in the number of runs, base hits, sacri-
flee hits and stolen bases and is also
the star fielder of the team so far as
the percentage table is concerned.
The following condensed table will
show the stars of the league in every
position and their records:
Leading hitter-Rickert, New Or
leans; per cent. .377.
Leagues heaviest hitter-Whistler,
Montgomery: 1877 bases.
Leading run getter-Molesworth
Montgomery, 6S runs.
Best sacrifice hitter-Norcum,
Shreveport; % sacrifice hits.
Base runner-Smith, Shreveport; SO
stolen bases.
Largest number Of hits-Beck
| Shreveport. 121.
1t is a peculiar coincidence that the
respective stars in all departments OF
! play are with the four trailing teams
in the second division. The first divi-
! sion cannot boast a single leader in any
! department Shreveport has three
Montgomery two and New Orleans one
| Memphis. Little Rock, Atlanta and
| Nashville are not represented with the
most elect.

FOOTBALL COACHES
DISCUSS THE RULES.
Difference of Opinion Regarding the
Elimination of Mass Play.

While the new rules that are to
govern football next season have not
met with the unqualified approval of
all the experts, most of them agree
that the new rules will open up a new
field for the development of trick plays
aud make the game more interesting
to the spectators.
DR.. c. S. Williams, the head coach of
Pennsylvania, says that to have en-
tirely eliminated mass plays would
have taken the game back to it's in
fancy, destroyed all scientific develop
ment and placed so great a premium
on individual ability that the smaller
colleges would have stood less chance
of winning than they have done here
tofore.
He believes that the new rules are
a happy compromise, as they will
show and contrast the merits of open
and so-called mass play. He thinks
that the rule permitting the quarter
back to run with the ball will add in
terest and strength to the old-fashion-
ed game, but he does not believe that
this will be conducive to long passing
He says that to arbitrarily rule that
the quarterback must pass the line OF
scrimmage not nearer than five yards
from the original position of the ball
will lessen the value of the innovation
and greatly increase the work of the
officials. He also believes that it will
still be possible to have mass plays in
the restricted part of the field, al
though there will be one less man
than formerly in the play.
A. A. Stage, the coach of the Uni
ersity of Chicago. and one of Yale's
greatest players, does not take so fav-
orable a view of the changes in the
rules. He says:
II do not think the plan of having
seven men in the line in center field
is a move in the right direction. 1t
will surely result in bringing about a
punting game, and this is likely to be-
come monotonous to the spectators.
Four men to carry the ball is not
enough for consistent gains for long
distances, and it will compel lot of
punting. 1t will develop good punters,
but l am afraid there will be lot of
fumbling
The quarterback being allowed to
run with the ball is all right in some
repects, but l don't think the play will
be used very much. Long passes would
be necessary, and long passes are rath-
err risky. The section providing for the
fullback putting his men on side by
running in front of them is a good
rule. 1t will protect the backs from
rough handling"
Coach Woodruff, who will have
charge of the University of Illinois
eleven next fall, is also a bit pessi-
mistic in regard to the new rules. He
believes tfHat the Seven-in-the-line rule
will lessen the end running and in
crease the line buchng and close play.

light breeze a large one, called bal
loon jibtopsail will be carried.
In moderate weather a clubtopsail is
carried but when il blows hard only a
working or gafftopsail is set. The first
can be distinguished because laced to
two long spars above the topmast and
the second is attached to gaff, which
does not extend above the mast. After
rounding the outer or windward mark
the nainsaiI will be swung off to one
side Of the yacht and spinnaker set
on the other side The spinnaker is
the only one of the sails carried which
could not be very readily shown in the
diagram.
The Spinnnker Sail.
The spinnaker is a sail which corre-
spends to the mainsail, only smaller.
The one extends at right angles
TO the yacht on one side and the other
al right angles on her other side, bMh
being in the same plane and at right
angles to the wind when 1t comes di-
rectly from behind over the stern Of
the boat The yacht is now said to be
on the leeward pronounced luard)
course-that is, going in the opposite
direction to that from which the wind
is blowing. If the wind holds true in
a triangular race there is no chance to
use a Spinnaker.
In running before the wind the sails
carried on the forward side of the mast
are lowered and in their place a bal
loon jib topsail is set. This sail is
similar to the spinnaker and in Eng
lish yachting circles is called a bow
spirit spinnaker. 1t covers up all the
space forward of the mast. If the
wind has shifted so that the spinnaker
cannot be used then the mainsail is
trimmed in toward the stern of the
yacht and with the balloon jib topsail
the yachts have a reach home.

tories to its credit. The first race will
be fifteen miles to windward or lee
ward and the second over a triangular
course of ten miles each. In the Sc
ries of five races the first third and
fifth races are TO be to windward or
leeward and the second and fourth
over the triangular course. The race
must be sailed in five hours and one
half or it is no race. All starts are to
be made from Sandy Hook lightship
or as near thereto as conditions Of
the wind and water will permit.
To those who will witness the race
the start viii be full of interest. Ac-
cording to the conditions governing
these international races a preparatory
signal is made, and ten minutes later
the signal to start is hoisted. Dur
ing the interval between the two sig
mails each skipper is trying to place
his yacht so that when the start is
made he is in the windward position,
that is. nearer the direction from
which the wind is blowing.
Crossing the Line.
When the starting signal is made
two minutes are allowed in which the
yachts may cross the line and If they
start during that interval their actual
time of crossing the line is taken by
the Regatta Committee. The yacht
that fails to get over the line within
the prescribed. two minutes has the adj
20 cd n
handicap.
At the finish of the race the Regatta
Committee again takes the time of
each yacht as it crosses the line and
this, with the time which it crossed
the line at the start, gives the data
from which the actual time it took II
TO make the course is made out.
BY a set of rules based on scientific
calculations each yacht is measured
and the larger yacht has to allow an
estimated time allowance TO the small
er one in order to make them race on
even terms. This time allowance fol-
the course in this case, thirty miles
is subtracted from the actual time the
smaller boat has made over the course
which gives the corrected time that
the larger boat must beat to win.
A race to Windward. such as the
first one will be, means that the yachts
are TO go against the wind Tor ntteeT
miles and then come home with the
wind behind them. 1t is necessary il

from line parallel with the wind car

OBJECTIONS is called lacking. The boa
that defects the least in sailing into
the eye of the wind is said to outpoint
the other.
The Starboard Tack.
A yacht is on the starboard tacl
when the wind is coming over he
right side, and on the port tack whei
1t is coming over her left side, look
ing forward. The angle of differenc,
between the two tacks is called b!

SPORTING NOTES.

Atlanta and Nashville broke even in
double header yesterday.
The tail-enders walloped the leaders
all over the field, and at the home of
the champions, too.
Little Rock is about to verify the
predictions made day or two ago
that she would be leading in the
Southern League by the end of this
week.
They actually pulled off a prize fight
in old Charleston last night. Both
Smith and Bowick are well known
here as preliminary pugs.
The Coal Barons broke all records
yesterday by administering two shut
outs in one day. This must have been
a bitter pill in Lew Whistler's cup. The
most intense rivalry exists between
the two Alabama towns.
George Leander will be back into
the racing game next week. His first
engagement will be at Charles River
Park. He will be paced by Bobby
Thompson, the well-known boxer who
challenged the winner of the Miller
Corcoran bout here.
Harry Caldwell has met and defeat
ed all other riders this year with the
exception of Albert Champion. As
Champion holds the same record and
the two men have not yet met a race
between them is probable if Champion
will agree to meet Caldwell. Caldwell
has signifed his willingness for a
match.
Jed Newkirk, one of the best pace
makers in the cycle business, has been
signed by Eli Winesette to pace Hugh
Mclean for the remainder of the sea-
son. Newkirk will continue to manage
Gus Lawson and pace him when not
engaged with Mclean
Evidently no one will care to meet
Jimmy Moran, the Chelsea milkman, in
a two-hour race right away again. The
way he rode at Revere a week ago
during the second hour with the odds
against him marked him as king of
the pace followers in races of two or
more hours.
Hermis seems to be rounding into
something of his old time form again.
He defeated one of the bes fields that
has yet been to the post at Saratoga
yesterday by three lengths. Irish Lad
was second.
