 The ten yard rule which will prop ably be adopted by the foot ball con- ference will be benefit. With five yards to gain in three downs the or fensive team has three chances to get away with the ball. With ten yards to gain in four downs we get four chances. It will open up the game ana | then the forward pass will result n still faster game. If allowed the ruie will permit a quarterback to pass the ball forward to a half back. The only provision Is that the quarterback and player receiving the ball be on their own side of the line or scrimmage.

REPORT or DEGRAw.
Extension of Rural Delivery Cuts on
 pomfafFireA.

P0Bf0mE&As
 washington, Dec. 14.-The annual re- port of Fourth Assistant Postmaster;- General P. V. Degraw says there has been a decrease of 757 in the number of new postmasters commissioned as compared with the previous year. The actual number of postoffices In the United States at the close Of tue fiscai year. was 6S.131.
 This, the report says, was reduction in the total number of offices resulting mainly from the dlscontinuance of S,492 fourth class offices during the year by reason of the establishment of rural free delivery. The aggregate compen- sation of the postmatsers thus dls- placed amounted to $19S,994.
 City free delivery has been extended during the year to forty-four new post offices, as against sixty~nine new free delivery offices established in 1904.
 The special delivery letter service Mir. Degraw points out, is source of profit to the government over and above the special fee of eight cents each paid to postmasters Tor the de- livery of such matter.
 On June 30, rural service was in op- eration on 32,055 routes which includes S.490 routes established during the Year ending on that date and the re- mort says the interest of the people in this service has shown but little sign of abatement. .,,
 1t is estimated that service will be installed during the current fiscal year m 611e routes, making total of 3S.174 routes in operation June 30' 1Q06

THE LEAGUE NOW A.
RAISE IN CLASSIFICATION or THE
 SOUTHERN.
Hereafter the Major Baseball Bodies May Draft One Man Only and the Price Win Be
 glyOOO.

New York. Dec. 4.--Stringent meas ures for the maintenance of order on the ball field were adopted today by the National League of baseball clubs, after which the annual meeting was declared adjourned. The President of the league is vested with absolute pow CTS in dealing with managers, and dis orderly players, and 1t is evident from the resolutions passed on the subject that the national organization Is de- termined to stamp out all disorders in the game.
 Another important step taken at to- days final meeting was the authoriza- ton of a compromise proposition on the part of the National League to the members of 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 s750 to $1,5oo each. Au- gust Hermann, who was named to represent the National League at con- ference of the minor leagues. was au- thorized to agree to the one-man draft ing plan, but to raise the purchase price to S1.000 only.
 It was stipulated that the President in maintaining order, has the right to designate the amount of a fine for an OutnSey WuiCI tS oSPNhe~tS from the mandatory rule of last year which made the fine S10. no matter what the offense.
 The President was appointed as a committee of one on schedule, and it was decided that 154 games will be played during the coming season. The National League playing season will
 begin Thursday, April F. and close October 12.
 At the meeting of the National As- sociation of minor leagues today re- port was received from the Finance Committee on the drafting of players that both the National and American | Leagues had agreed to draft but one man. fixing the drafting price at $1.000 The date and place for the regular
 annual meeting was changed from January II at San Francisco, to the
 second Tuesday in January at Chicago
 An effort was made to have the present
 meeting stand as the annual meeting but this was voted down.
 It was reported that agreements had
 been reached with the major associa- tions that as many players as may bt desired can be drafted from leagues in Classes R. c and D. The drafting price in Class was raised from $500 to s750 in Class c, from $500 to $500, and ir Class D, from $200 to $500.
 The Southern League was promoted from Class B to Class A. An adjourn. ment then was taken until the Chicago meeting.

T simply LOOK h' the practical side of the case, he says. Exactly; and 1t is because he has ig- nored all questions of sentiment that ne now finds himself at odds with so con siderable portion of his countrymen. Americans like to fiatter themselves up on being an intensely practical people and so in a sense they are; but they have also a keenly sentimental side' and now and then something ike the Constitution episode arises to prove IL: Nor. indeed, is sentiment itself without a practical aspect.

New Haven, Conn.,, Dec. 14.---Walter Camp, the Yale athletic adviser. tonight gave out a statement relative to re- form in football, and laid special stress on the adoption by the hules Com mittee of a ten-yard rule and one for bidding tackling below the knees. He considered the purposes of these rules, namely, opening the play and lessening accidents and unnecessary roughness, as absolutely essential.
 MT. Camp regrets the delay caused by Harvards postponement and ex- pressed the belief that the committee must answer the public demand and that Yale, owing to her position, has an especial responsibility to stand for these reforms.
 Mir. Camp states that the committee especially is agreed upon measures tending to eliminate brutality and pro- vide competent officials. He also sug- gests shortening the playing halves, a distance penalty for time taken out at request of the captain; that the ball be called dead when any part of the
