CAPITAL \. c. PLANS
JAMESTOWN ENTRIES
Local Amateur Sailors Would
Compete in international
Events at Exposition.

That the yachting and boating organ
cations OF Washington intend taking
every advantage Of the facilities offered
by the jamestown Exposition TO boom
aquatic sports in the District is evil
denccd by the fact that the Capital
Yacht Club will. if possible. have its
annual club cruise 10 those waters next
summer
Several members Of the club have al
ready decided 30 take this trip, and il
will be the special object Of the club as
a body TO do the same. Not only will
this be done. but it IS more than likely
that the club will enter two or three
boats in one or more OF the three sailing
races at Jamestown. There are three
of these events. and one. at least. viii
probably draw Washington entries.
These are the Roosevelt Cup Race. the
Kcisc~ Cup Race. and the King Edward
Cup Race The boats which will most
probably represent the District are
the Frcya, owned 10y the Bright broth
crs, and the Nenemoosha, owned by
J.. +. Hcwings.
The proposed cruise is expected TO
be taken I'm conjunction with the inter
city races. which We're instituted last
year between a Baltimore organization
ana the Capitals, and winch was won
by the former. The Orioles will sail
down the bay and meet the Washing
toniaus At the mouth Of the Potomac,
where q triangular course will be layed
out Immediately following the races
the two fleets will continue to James
town.
II has been unoHciaIly suggested that
the Corinthian club. which also in
tends making the trip, and the Capt.
tails make it q joint affair. which
would bring the number OF boats up
to a probable total of $50 or more.
At a recent meeting OF the Capital
Club the annual election OF officers
took place. w. W. Greer was reelected
commodore. i. r. Hewings was re
elected vice commodore. Roy +. Burn
ham was reelected treasurer, O E
Braitmayer succeeded L. F. Hartley as
corresponding secretary, John f Taylor
was reelected recording secretary, and
d. II. Fowler succeeded y. II. Huthill

DAILY KNOCKED OUT
BY SOLDIER BURNS
Venerable Tommy Put Away
Before the Bad Boys of
HighlandtoWn.

BALTIMORE. Feb. 14.-Before a
packed house at the NorpareiI Athletic
Club last night. Winfield Burns. better
known as Soldier Burns lately OF Fort
Howard. knocked out Tommy DAILY in
six rounds, and did il i. ~ most ap-
proved fashion
The blow which sent DAILY into dream
land was a right half upper-cut straight
10 the point OF the jaw II was a neat
blow perfectly delivered. and IL sent
DAILY to the floor for a sleep. which
lasted more than ten seconds. II was
several minutes after the knockout be-
fore DAILY was himself and able 20
shake hands and compliment Burns on
the victory.
DAILY might have complimented Burns
on the latter's Improvement rs a boxer.
The last time these men met they boxed
fifteen rounds. and DAILY got the decision
on 9oirts.
As a preliminary Jimmy Farren and
Kid Dorbet. better known rs Farmer
Dorbet, boxed six rounds 70 a draw.
DOrbct had much the advantage in
weight, but Farren was the cleverer.

by an error. such as a dropped foul fly,
an error is scored against the fielder.
without any penalty. Under the new
rule an additional time at bat will be
recorded against a batter every time he
would have been retired but for field-
ing break.
Accidental Hits.
Another change which will favor the
batter instead Of handicapping him, as
IN the above one. is the one giving the
umpire power TO call ball when a bat
ter makes an attempt to get away from
wide pitch which is about to hit him.
only 10 have the bail hit his bat The
present rule is menufestly unfair. as II
penalties batter for a mistake of the
pitcher. The new rule will exempt the
batter from a penalty. no matter whether
the ball goes fair or foul. and IL is but
a simple act Of justice 10 do this
In the proposed changes the rules re-
garding wild pitches and passed balls
are made more simple than at present.
Both OF these breaks are nothing more
nor less than errors, and the new rule
would make them such, while they
would sim be allowed TO appear in the
summary, but only as guide 10 the
effectiveness OF the catching and pitch
ing. When a fielder makes a bad throw
or mum he gets an error. and wild
pitches and passed balls are nothing
more nor less than wild throws and
nuns. Scoring this would simplify mat
tiers considerably.
About Stolen Bases.
There are about half a dozen other
changes Of Importance. one Of these
would do away with giving stolen bases
to runners on whom there is no play,
this occurring when a double steal of
second and third is made, the only man
really entitled TO A stolen base being the
ono who goes 10 third
Another change would prohibit the
batter from stepping from one side OF
the plate 10 the other while the pitcher
is making his preliminary motions This
stunt IS done 10 confuse pitcher when
a batsman IS trying 10 work his way 10
first on "a base on balls.
The pitching rule is 40 be so altered
as % prevent the pitcher bouncing the
ball over the plate Tor a strike some
thing perfectly legal under the rules as
they now stand
The foul tip is to be more strictly de-
fined. as there Is some confusion at
present in this respect. especially regard
ing the stealing OF bases on foul Up
strike. Most OF the other alterations
are only as % details Of the rules so as
- make them more plain.
Blocked Ball Trick.
one other change which should be
made IS IN the blocked BAH rule. At
present the rule prescribes that in case
a batted or thrown ball Is touched by a
spectator and not picked up or inter
fercd with il must be returned 10 tho
pitcher before base running can be
stopped. As a result spectators III some
Of th-. minor league towns are getting
in the habit Of touching ball hatted by
a home team player. the result being
that the latter usually gets an extra base
owing 20 the forced delay through the
pitcher This is simply encouraging UNI
fairness IN the game.

BASEBALL RULES NEED
IMPORTANT CHANGES
Many Provisions Not Clear and Some Points Not Gov
ered-Times at Bat Not Fairly Proporioned.
Blocked Ball Trick

Another attempt will be made at the
coming meeting Of the two leagues 10
amend and alter the rules so as TO
bring them up to date, but with what
success remains 90 be seen.
That changes are badly needed few
Of those who follow the sport closely
VIII care to deny, but convincing the
rule committees OF the big leagues Of
this fact is another matter II has been
several years since the present rules
were put into effect. and as they have
developed weak points attempts hsve
been made to have them made more
plain and altered so as 10 cover the
game more fully.
Changes Long Needed.
For some reason the rules committees
Of the big leagues, who should be first
TO welcome such changes. have insisted
upon standing pat even when shown that
some Of the rules as they stood were
little short Of foolish. Part of this atti-
tude has been because both the -Ameri-
can and National league members of
the committee were suspicious that the
others would try TO slip something over
on them. and most Of the votes on rule
lines This means a tie vote and a lost
amendment. The other part has been
sheer laziness or a dissemination on the
part Of the rule committee members 20
take any responsibility on their hands
for possible bad effects rule changes
might have. according to the ST. Louis
Globe-D Democrat
At the meeting this month there will
be a lot OF amendments presented for
the consideration Of the committees. and
a consideration OF them on their merits
will result I'm much good TO the sport.
The most extensive plan for altering the
rules will ~ the one presented by a. J.
Flanner. OF the Sporting News. and one
Of the experts of the country on base
hall rules These alterations 10 the rules
come from suggestions offered by news
PAPER writer's. Umpi-es. and others con
uected with the game In a way 10 make
them expert in such matters. and in
most instances they are such as wiz not
in any way interfere with the game as
It is played at present.
New Time at Bat
Where alterations which viii affect the
game are made they are in the right line
and necessary. In fact, the only COM
plant that can be made against them is
that they do rot 20 far enough. Under
the circumstances it is hard To see how
the committees can avoid giving them
favorable consideration.
The most radical change proposed is so
palpabiy just that it should not find
much opposition. This Is a proposition
To score a time at bat against a player
every time he should have been retired
but is saved by an error At present
when a batter's time at bat is prolonged

In addition % the match with stan

the Australians II the proposition can
be- financed. Il is proposed 10 play at
least three test games with an All
American Rugby team composed Of
men from Stanford. the University OF
California. and the University Of Ne
vada. the three colleges IN the United
States where the British game is given
the position OF major sport. Then II is
hoped that the Australian team viii
come East. and by giving a thorough
demonstration Of the sport induce some
of the real leaders in the intercollegiate
sport TO adopt Rugby.
At present only one college on the At

vania, has a Rugby team which aspi~es
20 become college institution. and tIat
team IS composed solely OF students
from Australia and New Zealand These
men should be able 10 meet the Queens
landcrs on equal ground. Although. as
they have practically played the game
since childhood. they can hardly be
classed as a representative American
college team, the game should help 70
awaken the interest which Rugby sOrely
needs here.
