FOOT BALL RULES.
Committee on Revision to Meet in Two
Weeks

The foot ball rules committee to revise
the code governing the game will hold its
final meeting to adopt the new regulations
to obtain this fall on the gridiron in Phila-
delphia next Saturday week after the big
intercollegiate relay carnival on Franklin
Field
The committee at its last meeting in New
York codified the suggestions brought be-
tore 1t, but so radical were the changes
proposed that 1t was decided to confer with
the authorities of the various colleges par
ticipating before final action Unless signs
fall however. no objection Will be raised to
the new measures
Until final action is taken no official
announcement of the plans will be made
but 1t is understood from a reliable source
that no less change is contemplated than
the legalizing of the forward pass Should
such action be taken the whole scheme of
the game Will be changed and all exist
ing ideals altered. 1t means practically the
introduction of a new sport akin to associa-
ton foot ball
1t is reported that four members Of the
committee are opposed to the change, and
that in the absence of a fifth member. A
A. Stage of Chicago, the remaining two
or the seven committee men forced it's
acceptance The two so acting are said to
be Robert Wrenn of Harvard and Paul
J. DaShiell of Annapolis. Wrenns action
was prompted by the position of President
Eliot of Harvard. who threatens, says ru-
NOR, to interfere with Harvard's partcipa-
ton in college contests unless radical means
are taken to further open up the play.
Wrenn proposed the legal forward pass for
this purpose and Dashiell supported him.
Walter Camp of Yale, Prof. Fine of
Princeton, Prof Dennis of Cornell and
John c. Bell of Pennsylvania vigorously
opposed any change. holding that Penn
sylvania's diversified play last year demon
strated conclusively that the rules now
favored the open game if the coaches
would only teach it. To this Wrenn re-
piled that he advocated measures to compel
the adoption of such a style. 1t is under
stood that this view finally prevailed.
Since the games inception the forward
pass has been debarred. Infringements
We're severely punished. If it is permitted
the ball many be thrown, batted passed
toward the opponents goal from one player
to another. and a system of long forward
passing must inevitably result. dt is hardly
conceivable that this will be permitted
without some restrictions either to dis
lance or the frequency of the play.
The announcement of the committees
final action will be awaited with the keenest
interest by foot ball men throughout the
country.

Strength of Fordham Teams.

Georgetown University is very much in
terested in the ability OF the base ball team
which represents Fordham this year. It
will be remembered that Yale went down
In defeat before Fordham this year and
Georgetown is wondering if she can repeat
her victories of the past
Since Fordham College became a unyer-
sity the athletic committee has encouraged
all sports so that FOrdham will be able to
compete with the larger universities. This
movement will meet with the approval of
the undergraduate body and have the sup
port of the alumni Fordham is now chiefly
known in the athletic world through its
base ball team. but the movement now on
foot will enable the university to engage in
lacrosse. lawn tennis, association foot bal,
gymnastics. hockey, hand ball and rowing
The opening of the schools of medicine
and law in the fall WILL 1t is expected, in
crease the membership and then Fordham
will have a larger field from which to pick
her candidates for the different teams. The
university has adequate facilities for all the
new sports which will be introduced. with
the exception of quarters for crew The
new gymnasium, which will be fitted up
with all modern equipments is nearly COM
pleted, and next fall the candidates will
begin work under competent instructor.

distinguished consideration.
Two doubles for Little Kit" No wonder
Detroit made a strong try to capture him
this spring. Bright Eyes is as good as he

Maybe Manager Stahl has struck the
right combination in Knoll for the right
field at last. He hammered out a double
and a single yesterday, which is doing
pretty well for a bench warmer.
Can you realize that a Washington base
ball club really had the nerve to knock
the great and only Dineen out of the box?
Mr.. Chesbro should take warning.
The Nationals move on to Philadelphia
tomorrow. and If only they can trim the
Athletics once or twice the local park will
hardly be large enough to hold the people
next Friday when they return home.
The Nationals not only have crept into
the first division, but appear to be fortify-
ing themselves to- stay there. Fourth place
certainly looks good to the local fans"
Too bad the George Washington boys

INTERNATIONAL CUP
FOR TENNIS PLAYERS


? r p
Tennis players over the country are in
tereSted in the developments in the move
ment toward making changes in the rules
governing the international cup.
Gable messages have been going back and
forth between the English and the French
lawn tennis associations and the United
States National Lawn Tennis Association.
The reason is that the foreign associations
wish to change the rules governing the play
for the Dwight F. Davis international chal-
Ienge cup. While it is possible for England,
the country at present holding the trophy,
to arbitrarily change the conditions, out of
courtesy, it is their effort to have the
Americans coincide and confirm such new
rules as seem advisable. These changes ac-
tualIy relate to the date on which the chal-
Ienges must be sent and as to the time of
naming the players on the competing teams
previous to playing the matches.
As the United States, France, Belgium,
Austria and Australia have challenged this
wear. il makes the arrangement more COM
p!icated than was supposed when Dwight
+ Davis gave the trophy in 1900. \ meet
ing of the executive committee of the
United States association is soon TO be held
In this city to pass on the proposed changes
and make them official. In addition. they
VIII also arrange for the tour Of the Ameri-
can lawn tennis players in their practice
matches preparatory to the challenging
team sailing for England. The members OF
the executive committee recently elected
include IIolcombe Ward, William \. Larned
Malcolm y. Whitman, William j. Clothier,
Dwight F. Davis, kregh Collins and Rob

KEEP NUTS TIGHT
ON YOUR BUZZ CAR

All motorists know how difficult 1t is to
keep nuts tight. About the only certain
way is to use locks of some kind or split
pins. From across the water come two
novel locking systems. which possess the
additional merit of being simple.
In the first ordinary bolt and nut
are utilized, the threaded end of the bolt
being cross-cut, and the nut pierced from
the top with two holes in oblique, out
ward direction. The nut is threaded home
in the usual way. then ordinary staple
is driven into the holes in the nut until its
bridge" rests in one of the two cross-cuts
in the bolt end. Although 1t is stated to be
an efficient lock-nut, proof against ylbra-
ton. it is easy to withdraw the staple. and
free the nut, If at any time 1t is necessary
to do so.
The other method of locking nuts con-
sists of having the threaded end OF the
bolt grooved longtitudinally at six points
in its circumference. The nut used with
it is also provided with an internal groove.
and when the nut is screwed as far
as 1t will go, with its groove opposite one
of those formed In the bolt thread. q key
is driven in. and the nut is thereby locked
in position.

the crack teams of the Metropolitan Base
Ban League, played an interesting game
FRIDAY at the American League Park. The
game was a fine one throughout, the La
fayettes winning by score of to 4. The
fielding of both teams was clean and brill
liant 1t was a pitchers battle from start
to finish. Wayne, for the victors, struck
out nine men in seven innings. Once with
three men on bases and one out he
famed the next three batters. Jackson
was substituted for him in the eighth in
ming and struck out five of the six batters
that stood before him in the two innings.
Atkinson and Capt Jessey of the Lafay-
cites played especially good ball.

"RUBE" WADDELL TELLS
HOW HE PLAYS GAME
Question That Puzzles Those Who Face Him in
the Box-Way Up i'm the Striking Game.

It go with a snap to get in the sharp
curve, and this hurts your wrist. Nobody
can tell me a sharp curve ball can be
thrown without straining the wrist some
anyway.
THE old style is good enough for me.
Fast ones, slow ones, low and high mixed
up is good enough if you have the arm and
the head. 1 mix EN- up all the time, using
a fast one around the neck more than any
other, and as l get more speed each season
1t comes in handy
Sometimes you run against a fellow who
can hit anything you pitch. Lajoie and
keeler don't worry me much, but the one
who always makes me look cheap is Kid
Elberfeld, who is with Clark Griffith's New
York team. He can hit anything l throw
over, and so now when he comes up l cut
'em straight over and take my chance at
some fielder being in the way.

at that I'm not beefing, for our own team

Ward announced that the players who were
to practice for the international team would
go south for this purpose on May 1. The
experts who scheduled for this trip. the
opening series of which is to be played on
the turf course of the Norfolk Lawn Tennis
Club of Norfolk Va. include Holcombe
Larned, eX-champion; Beals C. Wright of
Boston, Kreigh Collins of Chicago the
western champion; Raymond d. Little and
Frederick b. Alexander. the former Prince

delphia. They will practice for two weeks

! in special tournament for three or four
days. After LongwOod will follow play on
the courts of the Orange Lawn Tennis Club
at Mountain Station, n. j.; at the Crescent
Athletic Club Bay Ridge. and at the Coun-
try Club. at White Plains n. Y.
For some time in lawn tennis circles it
| has been confidently predicted that the four
players who would later be named for the
American team would be Ward, Larned
Wright and Clothier. There is possibility
broke his ankle last winter while engaged
in construction work at Annapolis, Md
This injury has made it difficult for him to
play in hard-fought, taxing contest.
Should Larned be unable to go, it leaves his
place on the team open to a selection from
the trio. Little. Collins and Alexander. The
first named is said to be the most likely
candidate.
The placing Of the Americans in the team
for the international matches is generally
agreed upon among the experts as Ward
and Wright, the present holders of the
double championship. for the doubles, and
Ward and Larned for the singles.

wisest of them all and we have weIl-bal-
anced team to boot
The only trouble with nv arm IS that
the muscles are too hard. For any one to
have good speed these muscles should be
SOFT and spongy, so there will be no hitch
in throwing. My advice to young pitchers
Is to take good care of their arms this time
o. the year and not to take too much work
Here Is another point I'd like to give
pitchers starting Out-practice getting them
over. If you haven't control you are not
there and never will be TIL you get it,
This Is one Of the reasons l manage to fan
SO many men each season. Two years ago
l got 3O1. and last season 31S More of
them fan on high, fast ball than any
other KIND. for l have good control of this
and can shoot 1t right around the collar
You take lot of pitchers with this high
fast one and they get 1t too high. where It
goes as bail. or too low. where it Is
easy meat for the batter. But when you
can shoot it just where you want it there
are not many who can trim you
In pitching you have to use your arm
as well as your head, and I've been
against American League batters enough
to know just what most of them can hit
and where they are weak A pitcher
should always keep on the lookout for a.
batter's weakness, for some fellows can
Kill one ball and are easy meat for an
other. The ones hardest TO pitch to are
those that hug the plate close and chop
at a ball, instead of swinging These fell
lows that stand back and swing hard are
no trouble for a pitcher who keeps his
eyes open to what is going on
The hardest club in the league for me
to beat last season was st. Louis, and next
to them Cleveland. L always got mine
when | went against that ST Louis crowd
and almost every game against Cleveland
was for extra innings. One was fourteen
another thirteen and a third twelve, while
two were eieven-inning games
Il am going to settle down and pitch ball
this year. for 1 believe we have a good
chance for the pennant, and l want to be
IN shape. I'll give EN- the best l have
anyway. l see no reason why | shouldn't
be as good or better than l ever was"
