INTERPRETING THE
NEW FOOT BALL RULES

The American intercollegiate foot bali
rules committee has Issued an interpreta-
ton of the new foot ball rules. Under the
decision OF the committee the second UNI
pire may be dispensed with. under rule 1.
by an agreement Of the athletic manage
ments of the two institutions represented
Considering rule 5 it was voted that In
putting the balls in play the center rush
may pass the ball back to one side, and
need not necessarily snap it between his
legs. In either case the ball must leave
his possession while he is on the line Of
scrimmage. and must go first to man
who is behind the line OF scrimmage.
Under the same rule 1t was voted that in
case of a punt out the catcher of the kick
need not raise his hand as signal for a
fair catch.
The committee declared that the rule pre-
venting hurting is intended to apply to
the man carrying the ball. and was passed
to prevent a dangerous play. 1t is intend
ed to allow under "hurtling In the line"
stepping over q PROSTATE player one foot
at a time. even though both feet of the
runner be momentarily off the ground at
the same time.
The section under rule II which provides
that no player of the side which has the
ball shall be in motion at the moment when
the bali is put into play is construed to
mean that this will prevent player from
running backward from the scrimmage
line toward his own goal line.
Under the section Of rule IL which pro-
vides that none of the five men occupying
the middle positions. center. guard or tack
lie, may drop back from the line Of scrim-
mage of the defense, the committee de-
cided:
IF a captain during the progress of the
game. wishes to change center, guard or
tackle to position in the back field or
to the position of end. he may do so by
speaking to the referee: but no player
thus vacating the position of center guard
or tackle shall thereafter during the game
go back to any one of those positions"
In discussing rule IA, exception one, the
committee decided:
When forward pass touches the ground
III the field of play without touching the
player at either side the ball is dead and
goes to the opponents on the spot where
the pass is made. except in case that the
ball crosses the goal line without touch
ing a player of either side, when 1t is q
touchback. In both cases the penalty may
not be refused.
I'm all cases of unlawful forward pass.
where the ball goes to the opponents on the
spot where the pass was attempted, the
ball is dead

BASE BALL GOSSIP
By Jacob G. Morse.

Everybody knows full well that IL the
Boston Nationals had managed to induce
Edward F. Abbatichio to retain his con-
nection with the club last season it would
not have finished in last place. Every eff
fort was made to induce him to play ball
with the club, but in vain. He was offered
sum far in excess the owners of the
club had any idea they would offer, but to
no purpose. Then Pittsburg was given an
option on his services. and afterward New
York. and twas said the latter club offered
him the splendid salary Of 10000. but fail
ed to induce him to change his mind about
going into the game. Players of the Alb
batichto stamp do. not grow on every
bush. and this player would have been
worth deal more to New York than either
Shannon or Seymour. Abbatichio has
found It very difficult matter to get
away from his business. which calls for his
presence, and II Is So fOul ishinS that i,
would not pay him to neglect it for any in
ducements In the base ball line, for the
tenure Of base bail life is most uncertain.
and in most cases exceedingly BRIEF wni.e
in his hotel business Abbatichio has some
thing that Will make him indS peECen. so
far as the worlds goods are concerned in an
exceedingly brief space OF time. IfIe story
is going the rounds, however, that this
player will be with Pittsburg next season.
TINS Is the only city III Wt.lcn he can s.
stbly play. and he viii be able to obtain
leave of absence for the games the c-uD
will be on the road next season. 1t will
not be in the least surprising If he IS
used in the outfeld and his abilities as
an outfeluer and batsmdn will add much
to the strength Of that club.

John CAMEL got away from the New

but it was to cost him 5000 so to do. The

see the series played The players who
worked so hard and faithfully to land the
series also deserved lot of credit and the
best return possible the owner of the club
could bestow. but were doomed to disap-
int
the turnouts would have been large had the
series been played. and not a few lovers of
the game would have attended from other
cities to see the sport
Doubtless had Jack CheSbro shown the
skill he displayed in 1904 the New York
Highlanders would have landed the Ameri-
can League pennant this year. He did great
work that season. and had his club come in
first a goodfy share of the credit would
have been his beyond a doubt. With the
inability of Chesbro to obtain his old-time
effectiveness came an appreciable improve
ment in the skill of the veteran Albert
Orth. who did better work than he has done
for years, and he promises to be as effec-
tive next season as ever. There can be no
denying the strength of the New York
Americans with a pitching force that can
hold its own against those OF other teams.
Manager Griffith feels very confident that
next season will be his year. but so do sew
eral others. for that matter.
New York now has two crack ball clubs
and the public is happy. The New York
Americans have finally succeeded in Sc
curing the desired recognition. and there is
no doubt at all that Frank Farrell got back
a lot of money that he had expended in
previous seasons to provide a first-class ag-
gregation. At no time at all has he
stinted in the matter of securing players
and his motto has been at all times that

A Strenuous Sport.

There have been many injuries OF minor
nature and some OF a serious kind this fall,
but altogether there have been fewer inju-
ries than usual. for which the changes in
the rules are considered largely responsible
Foot ball is "a strenuous game at best, and
those who expected that the new code would
prevent any injuries were doomed to disap-
pointment before a change was made. Much
unnecessary roughness has been removed
however. and the games no longer drag
while coaches are trying to patch up their
injury

Yesterday the Clyde ball team
went to the picnic given by the con
gregation of the Catholic church here.
The picnic was held at Daniels and
largely attended by people from all
through this part of the county.
The buzz of the moving machine is to
be heard all through this neighborhood
with the result that one of the finest
and largest crops of hay is being put up.
Another month and harvest will start
on early sown wheat and barley. Flax is
a better crop than usual here and barr
ing accidents, farmers of Clyde have
reason to figure they will be on the sun
ny side of easy street this fall.
Clyde was represented on the farmers

Wilson and Gordon Brotherson. The
boys all went in special car attached

Last Saturday the boys of Clyde who
play ball crossed bats with the Munich
fans. Manager Hannum headed the
Clyde aggregation on their trip to
Munich, where they gave the champions
of western Cavalier county an exhibition
of how to play ball which demonstrated
that Munich had at last met its Water
loo. The score was 10 to 23 in favor of
Clyde and our boys could have been
making runs yet off the Munich pit

make the visit pleasant and one long to
