SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. Dec. l6.-The
troubles of Eddie Grancy president ot
tho light trust and star witness before
tho san Francisco grand JUN. are com
ing so fast that he is unable TO side

the Jury, but q complaint Of Harry Cor

maBter OF the Ellis street SITUATION
Ciraney and Corbett were supposed 70
have formed a partnership 70 run the
Tuxedo saloon between them, with d
prominent liquor hrm 10 back tnefn up.
But so the tale goes, Gginey put one
over on Corbett at the proverblal eleN-
enth hour, and succeeded in installing
himself as master OF ceremonies OF t%pe %
Tuxedo and leaving Corbett out in the
cold.
San Francisco had scarce forgotten the
earthquake and fire when Graney an
nounced that he was about TO open up
the Tuxedo saloon as n headquarters Tor
the sporting fraternity and the good
fellows nil along the line. Graney and
Harry Corbett We're very close friends
81 this particular time. Graney said
he needed Corbett in his business, and
Corbett was only too delighted 10 take
a chance at one OF the most promlssiins lsiil
saloon corners of the city. SO. according

Corbett To get in on the TUXEDO and

already installed himself as manager and
master Of ceremonies of the place. Cor
bctt looked around for chance TO force
himself In, but seeing that the little
horseshoer had already secured the mo-

The plans Of Corbett Were completely
upset. He figured on his bit at TIN

Several weeks ago Corbett leased a To-

place was compelled 10 SIT around ano

In the meantime there seems TO have
been Il sort of bitter feud existing be-
tween the littlc referee and the brother

STEPS INTO VIEW
Air Full Of Suggestions as to
improvements in the
Game.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Dec. l5.-Now
that the football has retired TO hlber'
nate for another twelve months, the
pipskin reformer has again stepped INTO
the limelight, and is IN his glory
once more. Despite the success which
has greeted the code under which the
game was played during the season
Just closed, the air is full OF sgg'
pestions by which the orIgluators be
ieve the play can be improved. he
proposed changes run the gamut from
minor TO radical, and If all were
adopted the game in 1907 would GER
tainly be n weird affair.
Among the suggestions already made
the more important follow: The sug-
gestion which found general favor, and
which will be submitted TO the rules
committee when il officially meets,
read as follows: "The substitution Of
ffteen-y yard penalty for the loss of
the ball when a forward pass hits the
ground. The abolition OF the hve-yard
rule from center In the forward
pass. The allowing of two forward
passes in one scrimmaCe If the hrst
does not cross the line of scrimmage.
No increase in the number of downs IN
which to make ten yards. The eXchang-
ing Of positions between the line
men ard backs, providing that such a
shift does not produce mass, plays.
The abolition Of the rule prohibiting
tackliug below the knees. The keep
ing of five men, on the side hne back
three yards from the gridiron. The IN
crease to the time OF play to thirty
! five minute halves. and the taking out
/ OF time for distance penalties. The
discard of the second umpire. The
framing of u rule protecting the
player catching punt. The giving
| of the control of the progress and con,
dition of the ball to the referee, and
the directing of the umpire to look
after the players alone.
Other proposed changes by former
PLAYERS and coaches who are not con
nected with the rules committee en-
brace wider scope, and include the
reducing of the necessary gain of ten
yards in three downs TO five yards in
side the ten-yard line; increasing thu
! number of downs in case the ten-yaro
rule is retained from three to four
or making the gain fifteen yards IL
four downs; permitting the side whicl
fumbles the ball to retain possession %
the sphcroid at the spot where the,
put the ball into play; increasing th'
time of halves from thirty minute
to forty minutes; compelling tn
PLAYERS 10 wear numbers, so that III
spectators can know what men ar
carrying the BALL. preventing all bu
four PLAYERS in the back field from ad
vancing the ball; requiring both team
to play seven men on the line at al
times; limiting the weight Of an
one PLAYER to lS5 pounds, and scores o
others. both with or without merit.

battle and also a fielders' battle, as better

the marvellous fielding support given by
both teams. Masters had the best OF the
pitching over Bellamy but otherwise than

catches, many of them fierce without a

side were almost excusable. Adams OF Ok

each side both of whom were safe. Beaver
