Fool Changes in Rules.
With all these baseball meetings call
ing the magnates and managers to-
gether the wise ones are having an
awful time endeavoring to keep up the
conversation. Necessary changes in
the present rules is the topic that per-
mitS them to escape that bored feeling
and a manager and magnate is not up
to date if he is not clever enough to
suggest some brilliant amendment to
the present set Of rules.
First the foul strike was upheld and
denounced, then the distance between
the plate and the pitchers slab was
taken up and thoroughly threshed out.
One magnate wants to do away with
the bunt game, another does not want
caught fouls to count as outs, another
would not allow the pitchers to tire
themselves with a turn at bat, and now
it is suggested that three balls going
wide should permit batter to walk to
first.
1t is about time somebody rang the
call bell. The jealous baseball men are
doing all this suggesting for the sole
benefit the baseball public. They
fear that the game as it is under the
present rules does not satisfy, and anX
ious to satisfy they. are coming for
ward with a bunch of new schemes
that are fierce enough to arouse the
fool killer If some real sage in the
baseball world would gently suggest
that the rules be left alone we do not
believe that any particularly noisy pro-
test would be wired to the committee on
rules.

STILL MORE TROUBLE
Big Leagues Now Wrangiing
Over Baseball Schedule.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-There is every
indication at present of a clash between
the two big baseball leagues. The Ridge
wood case has created much i'll feeling,
but the situation as regards playing
schedules, unless the National league
backs down, is likely to bring things to
a crisis.
When President Johnson, Of the Ameri-
can league announced that the cham
pionshfp season in this city would be
opened by the Americans on April IA,
there was CONSERVATION among the local
National league men, who lost no time
in making a counter statement DreyfuSS
and Ebbets, both members Of the sched-
ule committee, were on hand early at
National league headquarters for a con-
ference with Johnson, the idea being to
harmonize matters. But as Johnson was
confined to his room at the Criterion hotel
by a severe cold, the confab was post
poned until tomorrow.
When DreyfusS was asked about the
proposed opening Of the American league
season here on April IA he said it was
the plan of the National league to open
a conflict. He declared the National
league was determined to open it's cham
pionship season in New York ahead of
the Americans. come what might. Drey-
fuss said the New York Nationals want
ed to play at the Polo grounds on
Memorial day, and they would insist on
When the two leagues got together last
winter they agreed to arrange non-con-
fiicting schedules as far as possible. The
New York Nationals were allowed to open
first, and were also scheduled here for
Memorial day and Labor day, and had
by far the better arrangement. No pro-
test was heard from Messrs Gordon and
Farrell. for the reason it was represent
ed to them there would be a complete
change in their favor this year. This
would give each club a fair break. It
was argued by the peacemakers. and Cor
don and Farrell remained content.
But the National league men, according
to the opinion freely expressed by nom
partiSans. are now ready to break faith
They secretly believe, it is thought, that
by conflicting with the Americans as
much as possible during the de-
lay in getting the subway running to the
new grounds thay can do some harm, as
they figure the crowds, under such cir
cumstances, will flock to the Polo
grounds, to the detriment of their more
sportsmanlike rivals When Johnson meets
Dreyfuss and Ebbets he will have per-
feet understa nding. He would not dis
cuss Dreyfuss statement, but it is known
he will stand no chicanery Neither will
Gordon and Farrell, who conferred with
Johnson at length today. 1t is safe to
say If the National league insists on
'hogging matters in this city 1t will find
conflicts in Boston, Philadelphia and ST.
Louis, where the National teams are in
distress.

Sailor Finds Horseshoe and
Feels Sorry for Munroe.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Tom Sharkey is
now almost ready to bet money that ne

him, and he is not doing things On
dreams. either. The sailor has something
better to go on-something more SUB
stantial.
1t is a horseshoe which he picked up
while on his daily run around Central
park Sharkey is satisfied that finding the
horseshoe was half the battle. All he has
to do now is to go into the ring, make
few passes and the jig will be over The
sailor adds that it won't be necessary 10
have the horseshoe in his glove when
making the passes, either, but that he
will have it near at hand.
Sharkey is training like a beaver these
days. He was skipping lightly up tfth
avenue on his jaunt around the park, ac-
companied by Spike Sullivan, when ne
spied the horseshoe in the snow, and ne
made rush for it.
That's luck" he said, as he returned TO
the Waldorf Astoria. with the shoe swing
ing in his hand "That means Munroe' $
defeat" added Sharkey. mot that need
any luck, but then l guess am a trifie
superstitious. l don't need the aid OF
horseshoe or an AK either, to defeat Mum
roe am going to place it in my training
quarters, and will have it In my corner

came out of the woods. though, as a pitch

months, and played good ball, but kept
pie being afraid that the first man he
met would take away his wallet and then
sandbag him.
well, it got along to the Fourth of

being entertained in the lobby of the ho
tel where he liyed-Halsted street and
Jackson bouleyard-with thrilling tales of
Chicago's lawleSSness and the dangers a
man underwent from thugs and murder
ers. He went-to bed and was walked MP
a little after midnight by terrific explo-
sions, sounds of fire arms and the whirr
of rockets. Well, when morning came Izzy
didn't show up for breakfast. This was
considered something terrifying, as Izzy
is too regular an eater not to come to the
table, and an expedition was sent to his
room. Izzy was found under the bed
"'I tell you what said Izzy, this
town is a bit too lawiess for me, and
I want to go home. Why, ever since
midnight they've been doing nothing but
shooting. and there must be 500 dead men
out doors right now. Me back to the pine

MILWAUKEE, SELECTS
BOWLING DELEGATES
Executive Committee Of Beer City Asso-
cIaton Prepares to Invade Cleveland.

LWAUKEE, Wis. Jan. 23.-Presi-
dent John Koerner, of the Milwaukee
Bowling association, has selected the
delegates who will represent Milwaukee
at the national bowling congress which
will be held in Cleveland next month. He
has chosen four delegates and five alter
mates, the latter to vote In case Milwau-
KEGS representation is increased before
the convention.
The local bowlers selected by President
Koerner are:
Delegates Koerner, William Ter
ry Otto Best, George Perrigo and VII
liam Dusold
Alternates-Charles Mountain, Daniel A.
Jones, Sam Kind, Fred Everts and Frank
De Longe.
The executive committee OF the local
association, which consists of John Koer-
ner William Terry. Charles Moll. Fred
Everts and William Dusold, will leave
here on Saturday. Feb g. in order to be
in Cleveland before the tourn2ment
opens.
Milwaukee bowlers appear to be divided
upon the question of whom to support
for president of the American Bowling
congress. Many think that the place
should go to Charles Moll. the present
vice president instead of Mayor Rose as
quite a number of bowlers in various
parts of the country are anxious to have
an active bowler at the head of the organ
iZation, in place Of the mayor of the city
in which the annual convention Is held.

BECKLEY WILL PLAY
WITH PHILADELPHIA
Manager Duffy Is Satisfied With Appear
ance of His InfieId.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 23.-It has
been virtually settled that Jake Beckley.
the veteran first baseman of last years
Cincinnati team, will play with the Phil
lies next season. While the Gleason case
has not been definitely disposed of, Busi-
ness Manager Shettsline said yesterday
that the club owners were not worrying
over where the second basemen would
play.
1T is safe to say" said Shetts, "that
our infield next season will be as follows:
Beckley. first base; Gleason, second base;
Hulswitt, shortstop, and Wolverton. third
base"
Manager Duffy Is particularly well
pleased with the outlook. and in a recent
letter wrote he was sanguine the Phillies
would finish well up In the first division.
The only matter that gives him any con-
cern is the selection of his outfield He
writes that Flemings work last year was
SO brilliant he thinks the newcomer will
make the team. With Thomas in center
and Fleming in left. the choice for right
garden will lie between Keister. Titus and
Barry.
It has been decided to give the young
pitchers a thorough trying out in the
spring and the youngsters will be used
in the games against the Athletics which
begin April 2. Breckenridge and Lush.
