TWO UMPIRES WILL
WORK NEXT SEASON

President Ban Johnson has an
nounced that the double umpire sys-
tenn win be used in all games Of the
American League next season. Losing
no time after making the decision.
President johnson already has signed
two new diamond indicators to COM
plete the staff.
The reform, which was looked upon
as inevitable in the future, owing to
growing complexities of the game. has
been advocated by a number Of the
leading baseball writers,a but it has
hardly been thought the 8hange would
be made at once, although many re-
cent happenings on the diamond where
only one umpire has worked have
shown the necessity for two pairs OF
eyes. It seems reasonable to believe
the National League also win use two
umpires next season. although Presi-
dent Pulliam has not expressed him
self definitely as yet.
In speaking Of the new move, Mr..
Johnson said: Patrons are entitled ia
the best they can get in baseball, and
expense no longer is a factor The
best interests of baseball demand two
umpires. One man cannot see every
thing. Therefore. we viii give the pa
irons what they are entitled to. We
10 not claim any particular credit fol
our move 1t is simply keeping abreast
Of the times.

The regular matinee Of the Della

urday was featured by Delightful
Chimes winning the first event, four
heats being necessary to decide.
Three Of the horses entered are among
the most popular in the city.
DR.. William p. Miller drove his high
priced Western mare. Topsy Van. to
victory for the first time this season.
The mare has started in many Of the
races, but for some reason has not
acted properly. Being satisfied that
the mare could win, DR.. Miller donned
the jockey garb and drove her two
straight miles without a break. AS he
finished his admiring friends con-
graduated him, at the same time
facetiously remarking that he was a
good jockey.
"They say there are some good jock
eys, but there are Others" was the
genial doctors reply. The doctor uses
Topsy Van solely for matineeing. She
is one of the highest-priced horses on

FOOTBALL RULES
AGAIN CHANGED
Fifteen-Minute Rest, Penalties
and F0rteits Receive
Revision.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-The Intereo1-
legiate Football Rules Committee.
which concluded its sessions here to-
night, adopted a new rule in regard
to the forward pass The new rule
covers the Illegal touching Of the ball.
When Illegally touched, the side max
ing the illegal play loses the ball to its
opponent on the spot from which the
rule. only the man on the passer's side
who first Illegally touched the ball may
hereafter take it until it has been
touched by an opponent IF the for
ward pass is Illegally touched and then
free. and is then touched by another
player of the passer's side, the bail
goes to the opponent at the spot where
touched.
It was decided that while the for
ward pass is in the air the players of
the defensive side may not use their.
hands or arms on their opponents ex-
cept to push them out of the way to
get at the ball. In order to eliminate
holding and tackling, it is provided
that the players Of the side making
the forward pass, may use their hands
and arms just the same way that
players go down under the kick.
A new rule was passed making the
between the halves of the
game fifteen minutes. A delay of two
minutes beyond that time gives the
ball to the field umpire, who may then
place the bail on the thirty-yard line
of the offending eleven. Another rule
adopted provides that all forfeited
games hereafter are to score as one to
nothing.
The committee passed a rule that all
penalties. except in the case of a man
may be declined by the
side. In the future the field
judge VIII act as timer. instead Of the
Iinesman.

THIRD TEST
AUSTRALIA'S
English Cricket Team Went to
Pieces in Second
Innings,

The third test cricket match between
the Marylebone Cricket Club and the
Australians, played at Adelaide, re-
suited in a Nin for the home eleven by
245 runs.
Australia made 2s5 runs in the first
innings and England 363. In their
second venture, after losing four
wiekets for 1873 runs, the Australians
piled up the huge total of 500 runs.
Hill scored 100 and Hartigan No..
In their second essay, after scoring
139 for five wickets, the Englishmen
collapsed and the innings closed for
Is3. No one was able to stand against
the Australian bowling, after Hardstaff
(72) and Braund (47) had been dis
posed of.
Overpowering heat prevailed during
the last two days of the match, the
thermometer registering ITO deg. in the
shade
The Pail Mall Gazette says that the
test match provided famous victory,
and that undoubtedly the better team
won. But, adds the paper, in allu-
sion to the extraordinary temperature
existing during the progress of the
match, the Englishmen are cricketers,
not salamanders
The STANDARD, while taking the
weather conditions into account, says
that the better team won, apart from
the heat.
Of the three test matches played
Australia has won two. Two more
matches remain to be played.

PROTEST FILED
BY CHRISTIANS

The Y n. c. A. socker team have
protested Saturdays game, in which
they were defeated By the Diamond
Heads by one goal to nothing.
Toward the end of the game Mac
connel handed" the ball unintention-
ally in the penalty area and Referee
FTddes awarded the Diamond Heads a
free kick which scored a goal and won
the game.
After the game Ffddes said that be-
cause in his opinion the foul was u1-
Intentionally committed he gave the
Heads free kick instead Of a penalty
kick which, according to the rules, fol-
lows a foul committed in the penalty
area.
Law 9 of the Football Association.
instructing referees with regard to
hands says: ut is the intentional
breach of the law which must be pun
ished."
The 7. NJ. c. A. claim that as, accord
ing to Fiddes' own admission. the foul
ing of the ball was accidental, no free
kick should have been awarded.
1t is an unwritten law with football
referees that when a reasonable doubt
exists the player shall have the hene-
fit of the doubt. If such we're not the
case many hard fought games would
be lost BY. accidental occurrences with
in the penalty area. The penalty OF
rule violation within the penalty area
so heavy that referees rightly hest
tate to infict it unless they have good
reason for so doing.
Be that as it may, however, It Is diff
fcult to see what good will come Of
the protest as far as the protesting side
is concerned. The referees decision
is final and from IT there can be no
appeal. 1t looks as If the Y. NJ. c. A
would have to grin and bear the mis-
fortune which has come TO them.
There is one good which may result
to the game from the kick. It may
lead IN league games being refereed by
men who have no connection with any
club in the league.
While there is every reason TO be-
Heve that Referee FIddes acted accord
ing 10 his lights on Saturday, the fact
remains that he is a member Of the
Diamond Head club.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1908-02-11

judge of the individual merit Of the
men and of their team value as a
unit.
Unfortunately for cup prospects,
however, the Y. NJ. C. A. has never YET
entered the field with the assistance
of their two fullbacks, and on one
memorable occasion this year they
were without the help Of either. No
one but an Association player can real
ize the handicap suffered 'by a team
that enters the field, before an efficient
opponent, playing one man short. When
the missing man is a fullbaek nothing
remains to be done but to grimly take
what medicine the other side may adj
minister In such case the whole
team is demoralized. The forward is
weakened. and by continually having
to fall back TO help out the backs, is
unable to attack just when the proper
psychological time for such arrives.
The back division is Harried and weigh
ed down and although working hard,
Ecan do no better than put up defense
(which hopes to keep the adverse score
somewhere under ten goals.
Everything considered the exhibition
made by the Christians on Saturday
fully 1ustifes the belief that they are
the equal of any other team-if they
can be rounded up.
The Diamond Heads are looked upon
as probably the most likely scorers and
the keenest players in the league, and
to have held them down throughout
the game. and only to be beaten upon
a somewhat questionable decision, just
upon the call of time, is certainly hard
lines.
The news that both fullbacks viii be
on the carpet for the next encounter
is encouraging. and with the assistance
of probably the best pair of fulIbacks
in Honolulu. there is every prospect
that the next three games viii bring
six points to the laureis of the Chris
tians.
