 lowed In New Regulations.

Cincinnati, November 16-To prevent the continued breaking of the rule prohibiting farming of players, which the National Baseball commission declares has pre- vailed for some time, that body today an- nounced that rule 90 of the national agreement had been entirely changed. The new rule adopted in part reads as follows:
 Rule 39. No sale of minor league player by one minor league club to an- other or to mojor league club shall be permitted within ten days of the first drafting day of each year; and when ever a minor league player is sold by one minor league club to another, such player shall be required to report to the pur- chasing club within three days after his sale
 All sales of minor league players by one minor league club to another shall be re- ported by the secretary of the national association, at least five days before tho first drafting day of each year
 Whenever any major league club dis poses of the services of any player by sale to a national association with an option to repurchase such player such option can only be exercised on the 20th day of August of the same year in which such sale is made and the secretary of the national commission must be immed- ately notified of the transaction. Where such option is exercised, the player will be required to report to the club ex- ercsing such option within three days thereafter.

 After Alabama had recovered the ball on a tumble. and was forced to punt, Auburn took a turn at threatening. With a series of beautiful trick plays. excel lently executed, Alabama was played off It's feet Then the backfeld continued to tear through Alabama's line, and the crowd yelled-"Touchdown Touchdown!
 But Alabama realized its danger after Auburn had covered some 75 yards, and forming its defense into a brick wall, held Auburn for downs. The ball was kicked out O. danger, Alabama recov- ering the punt.
 At this instant, time was called, and the game was over. The ball was fin Alabama's territory. with Alabama its possessor.
 The terrific battle was fought within the center of a complete circle of spec tators There was an immense attend ance. The grandstand was filled to over flowing. and people pressed upon people in It's front Completely around the arena spectators were strung. There were hun dreds of automobiles and carriages, filled with frantic people. A dozen horse women were noted studded about the field. There was continual roar, a continual yelling of students, while over all could be heard the inspiring strains of the excellent Auburn band.
 It was an hour of motion. Everyone in the Erandstand was standing upon his feet, swaying from side to side, craning the neck to gain better view. Those on the ground were running to and fro.

Eight Flights Up.

From the November Bohemian.
 When the first fire company, in re- sponse to an alarm, reached the long row of tenements, the fire captain at once jumped from his engine and endeavored to locate the fire. When he had ineffec- tually hunted through three or four structures for it, he deserted an old wo- man sticking her head out of window of the topmost floor of an eight-story tenement. little farther up the street.
 Any fire up there?" he yelled, when he had reached the pavement beneath this building.
 In answer. the old woman,motioned for him to come up.
 Accordingly, the captain, with his men Juggling their heavy hose behind them, laboriously ascended the eight flights and burst into the room where thesold woman was.
 'Where's the fire?" demanded the cap tain, when no fire nor smoke became vis- ible.
 '.Oh, there ain't none here" replied the old woman, flashing an ear-trumpet. "I asked v up cause l couldn't hear a word you said way down theret

 When all but five minutes had expired however, the Auburnites settled down to terrific line plunges, and against Ala bamas right side Hughes. Sparknlan and Ware were terrors. Again and again were five and eight and 10 yards whacked off at u clip. Going at this gait Auburn threatened Alabama's goal, and when but 90 second remains Auburn was five yards short of touchdown. The third down carried the ball within three feet of Alabamas goal and Alabama was safe. But at this point Hannon committed a grave error. The referee penalized Au- burn for an off-side play. Hannon, in stead of taking possession of the ball, allowed the penalty. On the next down, therefore, which was the third, Fullback Hughes, who throughout the game was the most terrific and successful plunger of either team, carried the ball over. Then but 20 seconds of play remained Had Hannon taken possession of the ball, which was his, and punted it out of danger. the first half would have ended with neither team having scored.

PoLLARD'S COACHING
 ALABAMA'S SALVATION.

It would be impossible to do credit to each individual player of merit. For Alabama, Harmon starred unmistakably. Howle and Sturdivant were consistent ground gathers, and P. Jones, at times, was brilliant. Alabama's ends impressed the spectators with being superior to Auburns. It is true than Auburn, in no instance returned Alabama's punts. As a fierce tackler and a strong all-round man, Pratt is developing into one of the greatest ends in the south. Ala bamas line, as whole, played well, al though in this department Alabama was inferior to Auburn. Auburn's backs ploughed Alabamas line with cornpar- atiev ease, while Alabama, as a whole, found Auburn's line a brick wall
 For Auburn Fullback Hughes was the star. As a line plunger he was superb. Sparkman, too, was brilliant, and hung on to every scrimmage with bulldog tenacity. Mcclure used his head exceed ingly well, and when he had once located Alabamas weakness he needed no prompting to continue attacking this point. Batson, and in fact every man in the line. played splendidly, with indonit- able courage and fortitude.
 Comparing the teams is difficult. On straightforward football there can hardly be a doubt but that Auburn could have defeated Alabama. Had Alabama played the game that Auburn played Auburn would have won. That Auburn failed to win Is due to Alabama's excellent coach- ing. The showing of Alabama yesterday, in fact stamps Dr. Pollard wizard of the grdiron, with no superior in Dixie. As an instructor of men he is splendid, and his work in the way of developing young and green material was phenomenal.
