after having been legally touched by any
player, either in the air or rolling on the
ground, or on the fly before toucned by a
player of either side, are touchbacks. This
play is very confusing to spectators, but it
Is rare.
The rule governing hurdling is very
poorly understood, but in this case there
is little wonder that the spectators do not
know what constitutes hurdiing when the
officials are uncertain on this point. The
rule says "hurdling in the line is jump
ing over, or attempting to jump over, a
player on tho line of scrimmage, with the
feet or knees foremost, within the dis
lance Of five yards on either side of the
Gint where the ball was in play" "Hur-
dilng in the open is jumping over or at
tempting to jump over an opponent who
is still on his feet" These rules are 50
ambiguous as to personal Interpretation
of every official that the rules committee
felt Obliged to make the following ammo
tation. Mere stepping over a PROSTATE
player, though the player so doing may
have momentarily both feet in the air at
the same time, Is construed as not being
within the definition or prohibition Of
hurdling.' In the Penn-Cornell game the
latter was penalized for hurdling where Il
seemed conspicuously evident that the
runner hurdled head first In the Lafay-
ette-I ehigh contest there were seven
scrimmages when there was no question
but that the Lehigh runner was hurdling.
Yet no penalty was imposed. After the
game the referee stated that the runne
did not hurdle feet or knees foremost.
This was his personal judgment. on the
contrary, one of the other officials IN that
game told the writer that he would nave
penallzed Lehigh five out of the seven
times that the runner hurdled. The rule
on hurdllng is somewhat kin to that in
baseball which gives to the umpire the
right TO call a strike on any ball that
comes over the plate not lower than the
hatsman's knee or higher than his shout
der. The umpire is sole judge Of this. but
players and spectators often take excep-
ton to his Judgment. So with a referees
Judgment as to what constitutes %hurdling.
Other phases OF the football rules not
understood by the average spec
tator will be considered later.

FIGHTERS MIX IT UP.
Attell and Nelson Spoil Each Others
Beauty in sparring Bout.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. A.-Abe Attell,
training for his fight with owen Moran,
met Battling Nelson yesterday In what
was to be a three-round sparring contest,
but IL soon developed into an actual fight,
and both men drew blood before the ses-
sion ended.
Attell n Nelson met in a sensational
six-round bout in Philadelphia more than
a year ago, aud evidently they did not
forget this mill when Nelson dropped in
ito help Abe workout"
The pair thrilled a large crowd which
has been watching Attell train since he
took quarters. Moran, the Englishman,
also has many spectators at his training
place. The fight on New Years day may
break a few attendance records, judging
from the interest shown.
At Millett's, where Attell Is getting in
shape, the number of persons on han
made 1t impossible for the fighter to DO
his boxing in the gymnasium, and the
open-air platform was used.
Attell boxed three fast rounds with his
brother Monte and Kid Lewis. and then
there were three rounds with Battling
Nelson.
Attell kept jabbing Nelson's head back
in the first round. and in the second the
Hegeswisch champion started to max
things lively. He showed great form.
The second and third rounds were
fought at as fast a clip as was ever seen
in an actual fight. When time was up
Attells bad eve was bleeding and the
Battler was wiplng blood from his mouth
and nose.
This unexpected setto threw the spec
taturs into n state OF widest excitement.
Atteli weighed 12l pounds. and is not
worried over the weight question.
Moran took on Willie O'Neii. Jack Hanly
ting on the fight is 10 TO $, with Attea

FOOTBALL RULES A PUZZLE TO PUBLIC

The greatest college game In America is
football. Considering the limited period
In each year that 1t is played more per-
sons witness this sport than any other in
this country. Bat 1t Is amazing how little
the thousands who attend game after game
know of the rules of the sport. This igno-
rance arises principally through their lack
OF patience in studying the rules, which are
without doubt tho most complicated OF any
governing an American SPORT Hundreds
and thousands have attended games thls
past season VINO have not understood some
of the fundamental rules, fauoh less those
which deal with the finer points OF the
game. decisions are constantly given
which the spectators are at a loss to I'M
derstand.
1t Is generally considered that the ball
only can be lost to an opponent on
or a tumble, except on kicks that go out
of bounds or result in a tOuchback.
These exceptions are generally understood.
But there is an %offense that forfeits the
ball to the offended side, that occurs quite
frequently. This play was In evidence
vice in the Pennsylvania-Corne game,
and once in the Princeton-Yale game,
and each time the big crowds were at a
loss for an explanation. Rule 20, section
10, reads: "If n foul Is committed by a
player when neither side is in possession
of the ball, the ball shall go to the Offend
ed side as a first down. Section l of this
rule also states that penalties for fouls
committed by players shall be enforced
from the spot where the foul was com
mitted." The offense by which Penn twice
lost the ball to Cornell without seeming
justification was holding after the ball
had been kicked by the Quakers. After
a punt the ball Is in possession of neither
side, and PENIS holding Immediately for
feited 1t to Cornell on the spot where the
offense was committed. Had a Cornell
player held after a Penn kick the ball
would hav been Penn's where the offense
was committed. This is an offense often

UR OR
FIGHT ON
CANVAS

If Gunner NOR is a fair specimen OF an
English champion there is little danger of
the worlds heavyweight pugilistlc cham
pionship going to o Bulls country
not lust yet, at least. That conclusion was
quickly reached by those who viewed the
pictures OF the Burns-Moir fight, which
were shown for the first time in this city
at Waldmann's Theatre yesterday. The
Briton had 1t on the American every way
in the line of inches, but he shaped up
like a novice alongside the agile Burns
when 1t came to fighting.
Five ounds OF the fight are shown,
rounds one. three. six, eight and ten. The
pictures also show the sporty National
Sporting Club in London, where the ring
was pitched and scenes preliminary to the
battle. In round one Burns steps to the
centre Of the ring and extends his hand to
his antagonist. Moir ignores the greeting
that probably being not the custom in
the English fighting game-and Immediate
ly squares off.
The opening setto Is a tame affair,
though the referee, logged up In an OPEN
face suit and seated outside the ring re-
peatedly cautions the Engllshman against
and a good blow until the third round.
Here he finally uncorks some OF the power
which must be concealed in those sinewy
muscles and uses Burns for a punching bag,
but the American comes back strong and
has his antagonist running backward as
the gong ends the round.
In the sixth round Moir, his face covered
with blood. is fioored for the first time
with a series of blows to the jaw. The
Briton showed to advantage in the eighth,
but in the tenth round he is again sent
to the canvas, and the third time he was
unable to get on his feet before the ten
seconds had licked away. He gets up a
few moments afterward, but the fight is
over, and the referee announces Burns as
the winner.

NEW TIMBER IN EASTERN

The absence of Outfelder Jack rhoney,

for Buffalo in 1904.
Second Baseman Ambrose Mcconnell, of
Providence, one of the few 500 hitters in
the Eastern League last season. Will be
tried out by the Boston Americans in the
spring. He will probably make Frank La

Saturday night the Alpha five defeate the
Bay View Wheelmen team. which had two
of the Dominican players in its lineup. by
an overwhelming score. 1t was a different
proposition that they met in the Dominican
team. Better team work and better all
around playing was in evidence and the
result was never In doubt. The Alphas
were the first to score and they started off
just as II they were going to run away
with the game. But the Dominicans had
not yet started in earnest aud once they
did strike their. stride there was nothing
to II. The Alphas played n fast game,
but could not find the basket to advantage.
After a whirlwind half the first period
ended with the Dominicans in the lead
by the safe margin of % to A. The Alphas
started the second period In their usual
fast style, trying to overcome the big lead,
a feat they nave done more than once, but
the Domlnicans again demonstrated that
they were their equals. The best the visit
tors could do in this half was to squeeze
ahead one point. Following is the lineup:

showing the Original five made against

the basket so successfully that II earned

Though the Forest Hill Field Club bowl

they certainly gave the leaders a hard
fight. The visitors secured the second

first was theirs by sixty-five pins. The
West Ends did not hit the Forest Hill al
