The baseball players of the past gen
Grafton were different from the present

statement more thoroughly than the
fact that many of the young players
attend college during the winter IN

Pas, saIariea of Actors.

a number of autograph letters Of
Edmund Kcan supply some interesting
information about the salaries of actors
early in the nineteenth century. One
relates to an offer by Mr.. Ellison offer
ing Kcan 60 week as acting man
niger of "the new thenter In Wych
street" Later this rose to f25 n month.
In 1896 Kean was offered $4,000 n
year TO go to America. In the prime
OF his popularity he received 1900 for
week in Edinburgh and apparently
reached the highest point when Mr.
Bum wrote from the Theatcr Royal,
Dublin, on Feb. s, 1920. and offered
him 200 night to play In Dublin and

few facts concerning the purchase
and drafting of players this fall by
major league clubs.
There are sixteen clubs in the two
big leagues said President Pulliam.
"and these clubs have added in the
noishborhood OF 200 players to their
reserve lists since they began pur-
chasing men early in August. That
means an average of more than a
dozen to a team. or these men 1t liz
not likely that more than thirty VIII
make good-and The majority of them
must be paid for just the same.
while | haven't the exact figures
ut hand. know that more than 5000
600 have been paid h ytho two big
leagues for minor league players this
fall. Those figures will be greatly
Increased in cases where second pay
ments are required and the men SO
purchased make good
Just think what help that is to
the minor league clubs that fail to
take in rs much at the gate ms they
pay out for the running expenses.
Many club has been saved from FL
nancial straits through developing
player or two who commanded a cool
price from some major League club
Baseball is getting bigger in imam
cial way every year--and this is the
banner year of all in the matter OF
money expended for players by big
league clubs"

FOOTBALL RULES.
Effect Of Changes Made by Inter-
collegiate Officials For 1907.
TEN YARD RULE IS RETAINED
Wow the Regulations Governing the
Forward Pass Have Been Qualified.
AS to linemcn Running With Ball
From Their Original Positions.

Tlp alterations In the football rules
which will govern the season OF 1DO7
nre, on account of this very extended
revision which took place IN the spring
of 19OG, very slight and have but little
effect upon the play. The rules are
better codiiied and have been made
rather more complete.
The duties OF the two umpircs nrc
more clearly defined so as to place re-
Bponsibility upon the proper shoulders
and also 10 further assist the referee
The alterations which pertain direct.
~ to the play itself are: An Increased
length of playing time. making the
halves the old time of thirty-iive min.
utcs again instead of thirty minutes,
as In 1906.
The penalty for an Illegal forward
pass ana one which strikes the ground
before it strikes player of either
side has been made less severe. In
1906 it meant the loss of the ball to the
side which made the pass.
III the rules of 1907 on the first and
second down 1t will mean loss of dis.
tnnce-liftcen yards only-and not the
loss of the ball
On the third down. however, the old
rule applies Of loss of ball. This real.
ly Is the main point OF the difference
between the rules of 1907 and those of
1OOG.
The ten yard rule stands us 1t did

point where the ball Is falling before
the ball strikes the ground.
AS there was some discussion last
year rs 10 whether q lineman could
run from his position in the line and
take the ball from the quarter the rule
has been made specific In this case.
1t will be remembered TINT the rules
OF 1905 provided that the five center
men could not be dropped back into
the hnlfback field to run with the BALL
and some questioned whether n tackle
or guard could run from his position
The rule now provides that line
mnn may run from his position in the
line and take the ball. provided he
does not leave the line until the bali
is actually put in play.
1t will he seen that players OF this
fall will be obliged to perfect them
selves In forward passing. open run
Ming kicking and catching. In fact,
there is no more important part OF the
game under this fails rules than that
of catching and kicking.
1t is probable that the forward pass
md the on side kick will both be de-
velopcd further and many new and
novel plays attempted. All this adds
to the interest of the game.
strong feature of the game OF 1906
was the better standard of officials.
and this promises to be brought to Il
still higher state during this season.

van Talks
The Noted Retired Fighter Vents His
opinion on Fakers Burns and
O'Brien-Shows Them
No Mercy.

In Philadelphia yesterday John L.
Sullivan. for twelve years heavy
weight champion of the world broke
out and told in pretty plain language
Just what he thought of Faldr Tom
my Burns and Fal1ir Jack O'Brien.
He was asked by friends. with whom
he visited the Unk-Russell-Amby Nc
Garry fight last night, what he
thought of Bill Squires, the Austral-
ian heavyweight.
First" said the ever popular John
L.. before / discuss ability let me ap-
plaud him for refusing to meet
Burns That is the quickest way to
drive fakirs from the ring. Let all
other heavyweights do the same, de-
cline to meet either the Canadian or
O'Brien, and let managers follow and
refuse to hire them and the sport will
soon be cleansed. Fakirs are worse
than bandits.
"Squlres is in this country with an
honest intention of defending his
title as the champion of Australia,
and adding the American champion
ship to his belt. The best man that
this country can produce should be
pitted against him-a man who al
ways fights on the level; one whose
record is free from any taint.
NO man should be pitted against
him whose record is not clear. even
though he should be willing to meet
such a fighter. We should see to
that part of the game. But since the
Frisco managers did not see to 1t
and did go right in the face of pub
lie opinion and match him with u
falir. we should all be glad he refus-
ed to meet Burns. For one, l surely
take off my hat to him.
"The fighting game has had
enough jolts in the past years, and
now that we have in our country a
man with a clean record. we should
try to rebuild the sport by giving him
matches with good, clean fighters.
The fakirs and robbers should be
thrown out into the cold and forced
to earn their living by some other
means. They should not be given
fights with reputable and honest
men. and thus allowed to greedily
gather in the public coin.
"If the Australian does not hesi-
tate to draw the color line, why then
trot out Jack Johnson and doubtless
he will give Squires a good argument;
but from what | can learn of the big
negro he does not like punishment.
Now, take this from me, the man
VINO beats Squlres VIII nave TO take
a lot as well as give 1t, for they say
in the land of the kangaroo he is
glutton for punishment. and delights
to mix it up.
"Schreek should beat Hart, If they
meet, and the German will be tough
nut for Squires to crack; but II the
Australian does the trick, why JEFF
fries will tackle the job just for the
sake of keeping the title i'm America
And, | guess, with the big fellow in
right condition there is little chance
for the belt going to the Antlpodes."
