To SUPPRESS ROWDYISM

Stringent measures for the maintenance
OF order on the ball field were adopted
yesterday by the National League OF Base
ball clubs, after which the annual meet
ing was declared adjourned. The presi-
dent OF the league Is vested with abso-
lutte power I'm dealing with managers and
dsorderly players, and 1t Is evident from
the tone OF the resolutions passed on the
subject that the national organization Is
determined to stamp out all forms OF
rowdysm I'm the game,
Another important step taken at to-
days final meeting OF the league was the
authorization OF a compromise proposition
on the part OF the National league to tho
members or class A, minor leagues. who
asked that the drafting privilege OF the
major organizations be reduced from two
players TO one. and that the purchase
price for drafted players be raised from

CAMP FOR OPEN PLAY

Walter Camp, the Yale athletic adviser,
last night at New Haven gave out a
statement relative 10 reform in football
by the rules committee OF a l0-yard rule
and one forbidding tackling below the
knees He considered the purposes OF
these rules. namely. opening the play and
lessening accidents and unnecessary
roughness as absolutely essential.
Mr.. Camp regrets the delay caused by
Harvnrd's 5 postponement and EXPRESSES
the belief that the committee must answer
the publio demand, and that Yale, owing
TO her position. has an especial RESPONSE
bility TO stand for these reforms. Mr..
Camp states that the committee is prac-
tically agreed on measures tending to
eliminate brutality and provide compe-
tent officials
He also suggests shortening the play
Ing halves, "A distance penalty for time
taken out at request OF the captain, that
the ball be called dead when any part
OF me person or me runner sIve MS feet
touches the ground. moro rigid definition
OF the use Of hands and arms and better
protection for "A man catching the ball.
Upon minor changes both Yale and he
would be willing To make concessions, but
that upon the two points OF opening the
play and lessening the liability TO acct
dent and roughness, the committee must
act he says. or its work is foredoomed
To failure He states that the public
demands direct legislation and legislation
that they can understand, and that the
time Is too hate after a year OF criticism
for experimental propositions,
Although the play at Yale was free
from any serious injuries this year and
has been for several seasons, no fatal ac-
cident having occurred since the game
was taken up In 1876 that. Mr.. Camp
says, is no reason for failure 20 answer
the public demand. He says that players
may believe the game as IL IS satisfac-
tory and that open play may be no more
interesting, but nevertheless that action
is essential TO preserve the game.
