LOCAL AMATEUR BASE BALL.
Rules to Be Drafted for Reforming
Some Of the Abuses.

What will be the status OF local ANA
teur base ball in the season of 1908? That
is the question that IS being daily put TO
the commission that settled the cndIn-
pionship dispute of the season just pass
ed, and these gentlemen are seriously
contemplating the drafting Of code to
be submitted to the various local leagues
in the hope of avoiding ali the difficult
ties that were encountered last season.
1t is almost impossible to make rules
and regulations especially on the QQeS-
ton of eligibility, that will meet with the
approval OF all the teams. What might
suit the Departmental League would
never harmonic with the Marquette, ana
while the Capital City would stand spon-
sor for one set Of rules their adoption
would cripple the Church League so the
predtctment OF the District League can
be seen.
When the commission submits its rules
10 the different teams for cons deration
one OF the radical recommendations will
be that each team must stand on its own
foundation. that no rotation among the
players be allowed. and that John Doe,
who plays on the MarquttteS MondaE.
cannot play Tuesday VITA the treasury
team. on Wednesday. with Bethany or
Thursday with Aloysius; in other words
each team must have players who are not
playing members OF some other team
The Departmental player VIII nave %
be an employe Of Uncle sam and employ
ed in the departemnt represented by IN
club he is playing with. the Church
League must n a church league team
and not a picked one from the entire city.
This will be insisted on in order to pro
tect the churches from asperS.on anu
charges of undernand work.
If the commission can accomplish TINS
much. it will not only elevate the games
Of the District League, but 1t VIII bring
back 10 It the luster that amateur base
hall carried with it back in the good
days Of 1890 and thereabouts.
Some of the teams are in favor OF the
adoption of stringent rules governing
eligibility of the players bat they are
6aId hack simply because a greater por-
ton will not fan into line in the reforma-
ton Of the game.
The base bail commission will soon
reSt 10 formulate the views 1t VII sub
nit to the different loca! base ball organ

Il do not know Of anything that pIeases
Us old fans 50 much as those stories of

Miller to a Star representative the other
night while seated in the exchange at
Willard s discussing base ball in all Of its
up and downs. They have been refresh

who of all the bail players was the
first to Side into the bases IN order 10
auchre the baseman out OF the chance to

is a question that not one base ball enthu-
siast out Of the millions can answer. and
it came back 10 me forcibIy recently when
saw a picture of the Old National base
ball club of 1856, with Arthur German as
the central figure, each one il the group
wearing a high silk hat-much higher
than those worn now.
'In that picture was Scam Studley. left
fielder of the Old Nationals, and who aft
erward played with the Olymp!cs. Stud
ley was the originator Of the slide. and
the first time he attempted It in a match
game the play attracted more attention
in the newspapers that published the
game than the contest itself. The first
time 1t was attempted was in a game in
1867. when the Nationals were playing the
noted F.urekas of New York, and as Stud
ley pulled off the play the large crowd
roared in glee as seyen-eights Of it
thought he had slipped and by accident
beat out the play, but on his repeating
the feat the second time they began 10

STYLED Base Ball Bandits.

NEW YORK, November 9.-ACcording to
the ukase of the supreme court of base
ball, Hal Chase, George Moriarity Strck-
lett, Sam Mertes and Jimmy Whalen now
belong to as daring a gang of outlaws as
ever rode in and shot up a w-abiding
and peace-loving diamond.
Chase, Moriarity ct al. are picking I'D
winter spending money by playing star
roles the diamonds Of the California
State League. which Is a monshine or
ganization opposed to the lawful and re-
spected Coast League. 1t glories in its
Outlawry. So great was the howl from
the Coast Leaguers when the little gang
imported great stars from the American
and National leagues that the national
commission had to step III and show its
teeth.
An ed!ct sent out of the office of Garry
Herman declares the California State
League an enemy to organized base ball
and says that any big league player who
helps 1t along by participating in the
games will be fined 500 and stand in dam
ger of being blacklisted The imported
bandits. however, went right ahead and
now they are in q bad fix
Local base ball men say that Chase
MOriarity and others have no right to
rngage in such a business aside from its
being the act of outlaws. AS they draw
large salaries from the big league club, it
is a-gued, they have no right to sign
second contract and take the chances of
being SO injured that they cannot report
for duty next. spring. :

FOOT BALL FOR GRADUATES.
Suggestion by Member of Last
Years Harvard Team.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. November o
One of the most powerful arguments
brought against foot ball as college
sport by is opponents is that by its
very nature it prevents men from keeping
it up after leaving college. 1t is also
alleged that very little real fun is got
out Of the game by those who play it.
and that its participants go in FOR II
vastly more on account Of the glory and
publicity attached to it than for the sport
itself
A suggestion coming from c. G. Os-
borne, right tackle on last years Har-
ward team, in the form OF letter to the
Harvard Crimson. may do much TO abolish
these evils of the game in so far as Har-
ward is concerned provided the sugges-
ton is carried out. osborne was PLAYER
who enjoyed the game himself every min
ute he was playing. He played foot ball
purely for the fun he got out of it. and he
is reluctant to abandon the game now
that he is no longer III college. For the
last Few weeks he has been at Harvard
coaching and playing regularly on the
scrub team. Oshorne's idea is tor the
Harvard graduates to form a foot ball
team for d few weeks every fall, play
few practice games and end up with
game against the Harvard varsity some
where near the middle of the season.
There is much to be said for the plan.
Every year number of gradutes come
back to Cambridge to coach the team
and sometimes play on the second team.
If these men were to be brought back
al the same time a very strong team
would be organized from among them.
And there is enough foot ball talent
around Boston t. make it easy to organize
very strong eleven. The plan seems
to be a good one from all its aspects. The
grads would be enabled to keep up their
foot ball tor few weeks every fall, they
would be brought into close touch with
the varsity team each year. and the var
sity itself would be enabled to profit by
playing regularly against the strongest
possible kind of scrub team.
Osborne's suggestion was limited to
Harvard. but if the plan proved to be
success there it might be followed by
other colleges. In the future the regu-
lar Harvard Yale foot ball game might
be the occasion of contest on the pre-
ceding day of teams composed of grad
yates of the two institutions. Such a
contest regularly takes place at New
London. where a race for ''gentlemens
eig.its" has come to be q regular part of
the program.
