SOME BASEBALL GOSSIP.
PhfIlies by Refusing to Waive Claim
Get knahc From Pittshurg.

EIlIlcS by RcfuS1n2 to Waive Claim
Get Knabc From Pittsburg.
| Philadelphia, Dec. IS. ~ The ma ioT
league baseball meetings last week were
a disappointment in the matter of trad
ing players and that was about the only
thing that was of interest to the follow
ers of the game.
Philadelphians are looking for one or
two new men to be added to each OF the
local teams, but the signing of Jack
litsch and Knabe by the Phillies was the
only move made by either, ard that did
not cause any comment. Manager Muir
ray likes Jacklitsch and thinks he can
make him play ball. When with the
PhillieS several years ago JacklitSch got
into a rut and finally had to be released.
Before the New York meeting there
were runnors e~the effect that Barney
Dreyfusss would turn over a numbers0f
his surplus players to the Phillies, but
! he did not prove so philanthropic, and
the best the club got from P1ttSburg
was Second Baseman Otto Knabe, on
whom SHEETS" refused to waive claim.
Pittsburg had secured Kna be from To-
ledo and the Phillies got him for the
draft price. Another outfielder and q
pitcher are wanted by Manager Murray
The club has it's lines out for first
class pitcher we'll known to the base

prove to be the right man.

If McChesney is. better than Holman he
is the man needed in the Phillies out

It was announced yesterday that the
club had signed Pitcher Kneuer of Haz-
elton, Pa. He is a left handler.

it was just like finding a second base
man for Boston, as Abbaticchio would
never have returned to the club. Being
near his home at Latrobe Pa, Abby
will surely join the Pittsburg club and
will add considerable to the batting

long run Gotch would tire and then he
could roll him over.
But Gotch was in perfect condition
and he was there to win. After thirty
minutes had elapsed 1t was plain that
Bell was firing. His face was gray

PROBABLE FOOTBALL CHANGES
PennsyIvania's Representative on the
Committee Gives His Views.

John c. Bell. Old PENIS representa-
tive on the Intercollegiate football COM
mittee thinks the following changes are
likely to be made in the rules at next
weeks meeting of the committee:
F'Irst-Substituting distance penalty
for loss Of the ball when forward
pass hits the ground
SecOnd-Changing the rules so as 70
allow line men to run with the ball,
provided they are not used in mass
plays from tackle to tackle
Third-Limiting the operation OF the
| fve-yard zone on each side of center,
so that a forward pass from the out
side may legally cross this zone
Fourth-One more down inside the %
yard line
Fifth-Extension of playing time from
80 to 35 minutes.
1T is quite likely said Mr.. Bell yes
terday. that some such changes as l
have Indicated will be proposed, and 1t
is certain that the ideas embodied IN
them will be discussed and something
done along these lines, although, or
course, not necessarily in exactly the
above mentioned form.
The loss of the ball when a forward
pass is missed, at the point where the
pass was made, is entirely too severe a
penalty. 1t has had the erect or dis
couraging forward passes and Is thus IN
direct opposition to the tendencies
which the committee wishes to pro-
mote. It is probable that Instead
10 or 15-yard distance penalty viii be
proposed.
AT present the back-leld plays prac-
tically all the game in the attack They
are overworked. The line men should
be given a chance to run with the ball,
provided they are not used in mass
plays from tackle to tackle. and it
seems to me thatothfs is the sentiment
of a majority Of the committee
1T should be possible for a quarter
back who has run aea5 one. side with the
BAH to MAKE a forward pass over the.
now prohibited i107Hardf gone five yards

There is widespread agreement of
opinion that something should be done
TO strengthen the goffense inside the 25-
yard lines. Now a team is practically
compelled to resort to old-style football
when near the opponents goal line.
and the handicap of only three rushes
to make ten yards is too great. Obvi-
ously the forward pass and outside
kick are inadvisable here, and many
games this season have proved that at
this point the attack needs strength
ening. The remedy suggested is one
more down.
1.-THE time should be heightened to
35 minutes, many big games have
this year occupied only so minutes from
frts to last. "-Philadelphia Record.
