KErcHEL TO MEET JOHNSON

conceding that Stanley Ketchel could give
Jack johnson a very strong argument for
the title, the Jeffries stock seems to have

bsttering ram figured prominently as a
possible conquerer of the black champion.
Jeff had the field all to himself. He was
looked upon as the only white man with
the power to bring the title back TO the
Caucasian race. On the strength OF this
he signed his present juicy vaudeville con-
tract. Partly through his excellent show
ing and training and partly through the
energetic boosting done by Willus Britt,
Ketchel has grabbed part OF the limelight

ers of the fighting game ave a native
desire for action. An Unnecessary amount

oMAHANs TURN DOWN OUTLAWS
Local Men Deserve Credit for Reject
ing the Tempter.


Those Omaha players who resisted the
temptation of the outlaw league deserve
the commentator. not only of President
Rourke, but Of every lover and follower
of organised base bali. From a monetary
standpoint the offers were tempting; but
the men 10 whom they we're made could
look far enough into the future to determ-
Inc for themselves that no temporary finan-
cial gain was TO be weighed against the
advantages offered them by standing by
organized ball. The outlaw is an eXpedient
at best. He has no standing and he has
no future as compared with that Of the
player in one OF the National association
leagues. Young players with as great prom
Ise as those OF Omaha before whom these
Turing bates were set are wise indeed TO
stick to the old guard, but, nevertheless,
the fact remains that these men deserve
credit for having the courage to say mo"
under such circumstances. and Neir ex-
ample should be followed by others. AT
least WEIGH and King have been so temped
and have turned their backs upon the
temptors.

THREE POINTS FOR FIELD GOAL
Foot Ball RsIes COm mittee Reduces
Importance of Kicker,

NEW YORK, March s7.-An important
change in the foot ball rules was made
by the intercollegiate foot bail rules com
mittee. which completed It's session at the
Murray hotel today, in the reduction of
points for a goal rom the field from four
TO three.
The object of this change, it is said, was
TO prevent two goals from the field count
ing more than a hard-won touchdown and
goal. Commenting on this change, mem
bers Of the committee said it would re-
duce the importance on teams OF star field
goal kickers and make It harder for a
mediocre team with a good kicker 10 beat
a better allround team without q star
kicker.
Another change Of importance was de-
signed to prevent confusion in intlietinS
penalties, when two penalties had been in
Cured by pne Team for the same play. by
giving the offende team the option of
saying which penalty should be imposed.
