SAFE AND SANE
AUTO RACING
New Rules Drawn Up 10 Gov
ern All Future Speeding on
Circular Tracks.

Chicago, Dec. 7.-Automobile racing,
which last year resulted in a large
number of fatalities and serious acct
dents to spectators and participants. is
to be shorn of a great part of its ter
rOrs. By the adoption of a revised set
of rules and restrictions the American
Automobile association believes that
automobile races will become as safe
as any strenuous contests may be.
II was at meeting of the sanctions
committee, which later reported to the
executive committee of the national or
ganization at its meeting at the Coli
scum automobile show yesterday, that
the new rules were drawn up.
The new provisions specify that the
new organization will not sanction any
race that is not given in accordance
with all of these rules. Prior to the
granting of a sanction an investigation
of the tracks must be made by a COM
petent committee, and photographs of
all turns and fences on it must be SUBJ
mitted to the national body.
There also must be drawings of the
buildings and stands for spectators
with their descriptions. 1t further is
provided that the racing board shall
decide in what places spectators shall
be permitted, and then only after they
have made a thorough study of the
peculiarities of the locality in which
the race is TO be given.
There are many other stipulations
regarding the judges, guards and other
details of the tracks, but the commit
tee gave most of its attention to the
study of safeguards against accident

SHAFT WINS SIX-DAY RACE
Captures Finals in Roller Skating
COntest-La Mont Gets
Second Place.

An exciting roller skating race took
place at the Auditorium rink last even
ing. when the finals in the six-day race
were pulled off. 1t was decided to run
two qualifying heats before the final,
the racers to go one mile instead of two,
three to qualify The first heat was won
by little Willie Shatz, who also won the
final. Earl La Mont was second in the
first heat, and SchOfield third. The time
for the mile was $3.50 flat.
In the second heat Nelson had the mis-
fortune to fall twice. The first fall Oc-
CURED before half a lap had been run,
and the racers were started over again.
Nelson had another fall and was out of
the race. This heat was won by Young.
with Vance second and Meyers ibid.
Time-3:33 2-5.
The final was a hard fight between
Shatz and La Mont. The latter took the
lead and kept it until the twelfth lap,
when ShatZ darted to the front and was
never headed. La Mont was second, Scno-
field third and Vance fourth. The time
was the best made vet for the two miles.

was witnessed by more than 1900 persons.

Friday night the students of the 4tate
university will hold forth at the rink.

BAR BOOzERS
MUST Be GOOD
MagnateS will No Longer
Stand for Players Who Have
the Drinking Habit.

The baseball manager who permits
good times" to interfere with his reg
ular duty toward his club is almost a
thing of the past. There was a time
when some baseball managers permit
ted their players to run wild and drink
and carous around, 7ve1 .'me % them
joining in the jolly times, but nova
days baseball is pretty much a bust
ness proposition ana is run strictly on
business principles.
The manager who will booze or per
NIT his players to do likewise is nor
wanted. 1t is the wide awake man
ager who knows the game, can be de-
pended upon at all times, and who can
keep his players under control whom
the owners of clubs are looking for
An illustration of this was given the
other day when Owner c. S. Havenor
of the Milwaukee club announced that
he was after manager, but that he
must have one that did not get tangled
up in any way with the red eye. Gar
ry'' Hermann of the Cincinnati club
is also looking for man of that kind
that is thorough baseball man
Look Up Habits of Players.
It is the same in regard to PLAYERS.
The owners Of ball clubs always try TO
learn the habits Of player before buy
ing or drafting nowadays. There are
several minor league players who
would be up In major league company
now were it not for the fact that they
cannot be depended upon and as a re-
suit the major league owners will not
take the chance
They have had reports from their
scouts on the men, and il has been
their habits alone that have prevent
ed them from advancing Banks do
not want to employ men who are ad-
dicted to drink to any great extent.
and it the same with ball club own
ers.
However, il must be said to the Gre
dit of the professional ball player that
there are few of them nowadays who
are the class known as ''boooZers.'
for which the followers of the game are
duly thankful. The ball players real
iZe themselves that they must give the
best Of service if they intend to STAY
in the business, and a big improve
ment in the condition and habits Of the
men has been noted in recent years
As a rule the ball magnates are
obliged TO pay good salaries to these
men, and they are justly entitled 10
the best service the players can give.

CERTIFICATES FOR BETS
Scrip Money Is Accepted by Book
makers at New Orleans
Track.

New Orleans, Dec. I'm spite of the
tightness Of money, it begins to look as
though the racing here will improve rap
idly. both in the quality of the spot and
the attendance, as well as the specula-
ton. People seem to have the faculty
of digging up currency to go to the races
with. even if compelled to use bank scrip
7or business purposes. Certificates have
been accepted in the ring, but so far they
have only been rendered in moderate
amounts Since the opening day the
crowds at City park have been constantly
increasing, and the betting has improved
day by day until now the sport is at
tanning a satisfactory condition.

is not limited to certain portions of that
field.
The course Of the contest can be car
rted to any section of the gridiron. In
stead of the defense and Offense being
stereotyped owing 10 the restrictions of
field rules and the limited number of
them employed in the execution of the
play, the field play is practically free
and the number of men represents the
total of both teams
The number OF plays that can be
used are as fllimitable as tunes that can
be played upon piano or words form
ed from the alphabet. The defense
must vary to meet the plays. In the
development of plays the coach can
draw on speed, weight, endurance. etc,
TO effect certain combinations which he
designs TO most easily open the way of
least resistance.
In the execution of these plays the
weather, the opponents defense and the
strategy of field position are all impor-
tant. One play may be effective in
some other part Of the field. A certain
defense VIII stop some plays and others
are strongest against it. In fact, there
is not one defense or play that is not

Almost anyone can play baseball.
but in football the field is limited. One
can play football but once a week. The
science of dieting and training is a
big factor in football, but scarcely rec
ogniZed in baseball. A baseball player
can go out and play without ever learn
ing a signal whereas a football PLAYER
would be useless if he was not thor
oughly familiar with the code. Even in
professional baseball teams under
heavy salaries the signals are limited to
a dozen or more. In the minor leagues

team will use or ought TO use, but 10000
fans can tell you nearly as well and
often better than the baseball coach
just what play will be pulled off or
ought TO be executed.
Baseball at the present time is far
from being scientific and never can
hope to be made the equal of football
along scientific lines, simply because it
has not the mathematical elements from
which 20 draw and develop combina-
tons. The rules and regulations restrict
the field and players so that it will al

SAINTS DEFEAT

Factor in State Champion
ship Games This Season.

That the L. d. S. L. basketball team
will cut some figure in the state basket
ball championship this season is evident
by the style of play they are putting up
this early in the game. Two weeks ago
they defeated the strong Provo team in
an exhibition game and last evening ad

The game was played in the Y. NJ c.
A gymnasium and created more excite
ment than any game that has been played
there for some time. The TOOteTS were
about evenly divided and as the game pro-
crossed with the teams tied and then one
or the other forging a point or two IN
the lead, the rOOters knew no bounds.
The Y. NJ. c. A. bunch showed the eff
fectS of being together for a long time
and executed some beautiful team work.
1t was their team work alone that saved
them from being Overwhelmingly beaten.
The Saints were better basket throwers
and showed the effect Of better physical
training. The long basket throwing from
the field and the good work on free
throws told in the score.
The first half ended by a score of Z
to Is in favor of the Saints and the
finals gave them a score of 30 to y.
Before the game the second team of the
two institutions met and the Y NJ. c A
far outclassed the Saints second, win
