danger by eliminating mass pays and
securing a more open game, thereby
overcoming the objections to the game,
or whether football should not be en-
tirely abolished or Rugby substituted
for the American intercollegiate game
Personally l am in favor of foot
ball, but 1 am decidedly Of the opinion
that the rules should be modified as
to eliminate mass plays and reduce the
chances for injury to the minimum. 1t
is probable that the strong stand taken
on this question by many of tn col
leges and universities Of the country,
notably those of the middle west, will
result in this change being made by
the committee at it's next meeting in
New York on December %.
eff this is not done am in favor of
the present game of football
and substituting the Rugby game. This
game was adopted in 1906 by Stanford
University and the University of Cali
fornia, and while there was a great
protest against it at the time, there
seems now to be no demand for a re-
turn to the American game. Rugby
has more recently been adopted by the
University of Nevada and the Univer-
sity of Southern California 1t is also
played by most of the California high
schools. l understand that Whitman
has already decided to abolish football
next year unless the rules are salts
changed by the committee. If
mass plays are not eliminated and the
chances for injury very much reduced.
t is my opinion that there should be
7ery little difficulty in securing the
adoption of the Rugby game, at least
~ the institutions on the Pacific coast.

National League Still
Talking Over President

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The Nation
al League of professional baseball
BASEBALL clubs is still talking. The
American league met today transact
ed it's business with despatch and
adjourned until next year, but the
senior organization, deadlocked over
the selection of a president, talked for
two hours and the radjourned u: I'll

Although it is predicted that he
will vote for Heytl=r, there seems to
be no weakening IL the ranks OF the
Ebbetts, president of the 5r mklyn
club, reiterated positively that he
never would vota for Eevdler' Barney

club said that he void remain he, e

John NJ. Ward, he added, had no
chance at all and Robinson had told
him Dreyfuss said, that while he had
not pledged himself for Heydler, he
never would vote for Ward.
Compromise Is Probable.
Dreyfuss has consulted attorneys
to ascertain what will happen in case
Ward received four votes and Hey
dler three, with Robinson declining to
vote He was told that, under the
laws of this state. the four votes
would not elect Ward, all of which
seems to indicate that the National
league has a big pow WOW ahead of it
before a decision is reached. A COM
promise candidate, who may or may
not be Ned Hanlon,. former owner of
the Baltimore club, may be chosen.
With the presidential situation I'M
decided. the National league magnates,
of necessity, confined themselves to
routine matters today. Horace Fogel
representing the new owners of the
Philadelphia club. was admitted to the
meeting, but many club owners were
satisfied with his statement that
Charles w. Murphy, of Chicago and
Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati, are
not the new purchasers.
The new club was admitted to menu
bership. and Fogel named the officers
himself as president; Frank B. Elliott
vice president Morris Schreck secre-
tary- treasurer. and /. Schwartz and

w. Conway directors.
The claim Of the New York club
owners against the Philadelphia club
the Polo grounds on October 4, was
referred to the new owners, as was
William J. Murray's two year con-
tract with the old Philadelphia cor
poration. President Heydler announc-
ed that players Moran, Doolin and
knabe, fined for their conduct in the
game on October 4, would be inelig
ible to play in the National league un-
til the fines were paid.
Monument Already Erected.
The committee appointed in Louis
vile last Augrst to arrange for the
erection Of a monument over the grave
of Harry Pulliam, former president OF
the National league, reported that Mr..
Pulliam's family already had erected
a monument
The league decided to bestOw lump
sum, not specified, on an invalid sis
ter of the late president, and to give
her the interest On $4,000 in her life
time.
Haydler submitted his annual re-

protests of games. He argued that
club owners should show the same
consideration to umpires that they do
to players who lose games.
Behavior of the players on the dia-
mond last season was better than ever
before says Heydler.
Receipts of National league clubs
last season were one hundred per cent
more than in 1908, the first year in
which the National and American
league worked in harmony.
The American league meeting rec
commended the adoption of a schedule
of 154 games for next season
CantiIIion Is Exonerated.
Joe Cantillion, former manager of
the Washington club, was exonerated

The club owners passed upon the
question of wearing spikes to Presi-

ing that he VIII not sit on the national
commission if Heydler is defeated.
Murphy is said to be backing Horace
Fogel in his purchase of the Philadel-
phia Nationals and is accused of the
double crime of starting syndicate
baseball and purchasing a vote to put
his candidate in the presidents chair
of the National league The chief en-
envy of Murphy is Ban Johnson, pres
ident of the American league. Johnson
is a dangerous enemy, because he has
the ability of a Morgan in his own line.
He says that under no circumstances
will he have Ward forced on the ma
tional commission. In fact he re-
Gently stated that the American league
would withdraw from the national
commission, that body of three men
composed of the two league presi-
dents and one other, which has held
baseball together for the past six
years. Johnson IS ready to declare
war, and many believe that he is in
a position to change the map.
