WOOD IN BOWLING BALLS.
Lignumvitae Not Now the Predonli mating Variety Used in Their
 Manufacture.

With the great increase in the mum. Der of women bowlers in recent years came demand for bowling balls light CT than those of lignumvitae. One of the woods used for this purpose is called sappacue, and comes from Cuba. Rosewood is now also occasionally used and so is mahogany.
 Formerly all bowling balls were made without finger holes. Now it is common to make them with finger holes. Some bowiers prefer only two finger holes. one for the thumb and another for one finger. Other balls are made with an opening large enough to accommodate all the fingers, such being called slot balls.
 Bowling balls are sometimes GOV. cred with rubber, as are also. where such balls are used. the pins. This ar. rangemept makes the game less noisy.
 There is now made a solid bard rub ber bowling ball that is asserted to possess extraordinary merits. It is said 1t will outwear many wooden balls and remains always true in shape.
 A regulation lignumvitae ball costs about four dollars, . solid hard rub Der bowling ball of regulation size aud weight costs go.

THE GRIDIRON
YALE MAKES BREAK
Will Join the New Foot Ball Rule. Association-Harvard Gets
 There Too.

New Haven. Jan n.--Yale is tn. first of the big universities to vote fol amalgamation with the football rules committee which the New York con ference chose two weeks ago. Tester day the football association met. thre, hours after the university opened fol Its winter term. and decided to come out in favor of amalgamation.
 The step was taken in accordance with the decision of the universities whose members form the old football rules committee to ask the universities they represent whether they are off. cially in favor Of anna lgamating with fhe committee chosen ytMu> weeks, I, su or not. At the recent meeting of the old rules committee in Philadelphia Walter Camp, the Yale representative said that he was personally in favor Of the proposal to amalgamate. but that he wished to lay the matter before the Yale Football association before he gave an official statement from the university. The Yale athletic commi,. tee was unanimous in favor of the scheme and Yale's vote will be east for the combination in such form as the old and the new football rules commit tees decide. .t
 The question will be taken up by inc old rules committee Friday night. when it will hold its next meeting. It is not known how Harvard. Princeton, Pennsylvania and Cornell stand upon the proposition. John c. Bell. the Pennsylvania member has asked if The meeting could not he deferred be- cause he has pressing business en- agreements. but there seems 10 DC no possibility for delay fin the session
 The meeting will be held in the University club. New York. where the old rules committee was organized fif- teen years ago and where it is fitting that the old committee should disband and be superseded by the amalgamaied new organization after the consolida. lion is made.

 For the Boston Team.

According to dispatch from Buf falo the truth has leaked out about the recent visit of President Ban Johnson. of the American league, and Connie Mack, manager of the Phila. delphia Athletics, to Jimmy Collins manager of the Boston Americans. II IS said the strained relations between John |. Taylor, owDer of the Bostou club, and Collins. were the subject of the conference instead of the transfer Of Rube Waddeil to the Collins team, as reported at the time.
 Apparently the rumors regardin. the coolness between Taylor and Collins nave not been exaggerated and !he tfouDle has reached an acute stage, where either Collins or Taylor must disappear from activity in the affairs of the Boston club.
 u IS understood that the American league as a body is supporting Col llns, and that syndicate has been formed to offer Taylor $125. GOO for hls holdings in the club If the sale IS made three men are to be identified Wltn the ownership of the club and Collins will be one of the three.

 Bothner will rest from now until the time comes for him to % on the mat. but il will be necessary for Swanson to do some light road work to keep down to the required weight of 139 pounds ringside.
 The Sncde has had tough time getting to weight and it Is the fact that this has probably weakened hin that makes Bothner's friends confi- dent.
 The question of a referee for lie contest still remains unsettled. Both- ner and Swanson and the managers of tho match will meet tonight at the Hotel Metropolc in an effort 10 strsighien out the much mooted aucs. tion.
