Camp Writes .0 12O2 Football Rules;
 1He Changes In 2He M0sf PaYt 51lnOT

having a strong kicker to kick the ball across the goal line on the kick off, be- cause then the opponents lost their op- portunity for a running game, oelnS obliged to kick out, and hence the slde having kicked off had also the nrst chance to show their running game. lhls provision is really therefore, equivalent to concedng the side which received the kick-out what is equivalent to catching the ball and running it out, with safe conduct until they reach their 2o-yard line If they had merely touched the ball back this touchback gives them thls privilege.
 As there have been some discussions from time to time as to players taxing up the game for the first time and not knowing what the names of the positions mean. the rule book this year will have a definition of the position and designa- tion of the players as ordinarily grouped.
 In several games last year the referee blew his whistle to indicate foul, some- times inadvertently, and as the referee whistle made the ball dead it was im- possible for the offended side to take ad- vantage of whatever run they made by refusing the penalty. For this reason the rules this year call particular attention to the fact that the referee should never, under any circumstances, blow his whistle thus to indicate a foul. However, if he should inadvertently do SO the ball is still dead and play must stop.
 As there was said to be some misuder- standing at times regarding the limita- tions of position, a rule has been made to show that the limitations apply only to the team on the offense, but an at- tempt at evasion in order to get around the rule will not be permitted by the officials.
 One or two changes were made for the sake of making the penalties uniform and it was suggested by the rule makers that the position of the referee should be behind the line of offense.

Little Rock, August 30.-(Specia1 )- Honors were even today in the opening clash of the battle for the position next to the cellar. Both games were to have been seven innings, but after the Barons appeared to have the first game safely tucked away, the Travellers alighted on Robinson and tied the score. A double and a single put over the winning tally in the ninth.
 Keith, the tall sOuthpaw. was very wild in the second game. and the Barons. profiting from his passes and some bone head work by the Little Rock infeld. won, to ?.
 The Travellers pulled off some weird work around the first sack, no less than three Barons being safe because no one was covering the bag It was a play of this sort that put Rhodes temporarily to the bad in the fourth inning of the first game. Ellam was safe a high throw by Collins. Molesworth bunted to Carey and there was no one to take the Scoop CTS" throw McGilvray sacrificed tho runners along and Yancey scored them with double to left.
 The Travellers had gotten but three scattered singles off Robinson up to the seventh. Flood opened this with a double to center. It would have been a home run but for a wonderful stop by Moles- worth, who was running with the ball. Perry doubled to right, scoring Flood Casey hit to Ellam. who lost the ball when Perry, running to third, got in front of him, both runners being safe.
 Watson, the recruit from the Pitts burg, Kan, Western Association team, who was playing his first game with the Travellers, hoisted a fly to Henline and Perry scored.
 With one out in the ninth, Flood dou- bled over third. Robinson purposely passed Perry, but Casey singled to right, scoring Flood and ending the game.
 Umpire Rudderham, who did not un- derstand that there was to be a double header. failed to show up for the first game and Cy Watt, the old-time Little Rock pitcher, officiated.
 Henline singled to start the first game. Ellam sacrificed. Molesworth hit through short, putting Henline on third. McGil- vray bunted and Carey ielded the ball. but there was no one covering first This filled the bases. Perry made a pretty catch of Yancey's foul, but Keith walked Gygli, forcing in a run.
 With two out in the fifth. McGilvray walked and took third when Yancey sin gled on a hit and run play. Yancey stole

The following is Walter Camps de- scription of the 1909 football rules:
 The changes in the rules for the sea- son of 1909 are not very great The com position of the rules committee" it. self has altered somewhat for the new members are Crawford Bladgen of liar ward, Park H. Davis of Princeton. W. A Lambert of Virginia and W. S. Lang ford of Trinity.
 The forward pass, although discussed at considerable length. was allowed to remain the same as last year, the only alte ltion of any kind being that the rules now make it clear and definite that there is a zone lying behind the scrim- mage line in which space an end might stand and by assuming this position be not eligible in any event to receive a forward pass. This position is more than one foot back of the end of the scrim- mage line and not a full yard back. No man occupying this position is eligible to receive a forward pass. the object of this rule being to make man stand either up to the scrimmage line or a full yard back. where the officials can read fly see that he is not on the line.
 A most vital change in the rules is that regarding scoring. For several seasons the advisability of reducing the value of a field goal has been discussed, and particularly the advisability of reducing the value of a kicked goal from place ment This year the matter took on form and the value of a field goal was reduced from points to points, regardless of how the goal from the field might be scored.
 A second, and possibly still more im- portant change, was the provision that A

OFFICER STILL LIVES.
Deputy Sykes Was Shot By Negro
 HiqhWayman.

Norfolk, Va, August 30.-Deputy Sheriff J. W. Sykes of Norfolk coun- ty, who was shot and probably fatally wounded Saturday night, near Berkely, by three alleged negro highwaymen whom he and another officer had ar rested, was still alive tonight.
 When captured the prisoners seemed to take their arrest indifferently, but unexpectedly one of them whipped out a revolver and opened fire upon the officers, one of the bullets passing through Sykes neck and the other lodging in the right leg.
 A posse was immediately formed and the hunt for the negroes begun. Tom Noel, believed by the police to be one of the gang, was arrested in Hun tersville. a suburb of Norfolk, this aft ernoon, and was immediately rushed to the county jail to prevent violence. Noel was subdued after hard fight.

AMERICAN BOATS
 DEFEAT GERMAN

Marblehead, Mass, August 30-Amer- ica won decisive victory over Germany today in the first of the series of sonder- klasse boat races for the President Taft and Governor Raper cups. All three places at the top of the list were cap- tured by the defenders of the trophies, while the three challenging boats brought up well in the rear.
 The Joyette, owned by Commodore Will liam H. Childs of the Benson Hurst Yacht club, Brooklyn, N. Y., won first honors, with the Ellen, owned by Charles P. Curtiss of Boston, second, and The Wolf, owned by Caleb Loring of Boston third. Next came the Margaret, one of the German challengers, and following her more than six minutes astern was the Hevella, while the Seehun II finished last. The Seehun II carried away her throat halyards within five minutes after crossing the starting line and was unable to resume racing for fully 10 minutes. while the damage was being repaired.
 Vice Admiral Brandon, chairman of the joint committee of the Kaiserlicher Yacht club of Kiel and Eastern Yacht club of Boston, when asked after the race what he thought of the result, said:
 "Oh, your boats are so much faster. It was great surprise to me that our yachts did not do better for this was real Kiel weather"
 The admiral, who represents the Kaiserlicher Yacht club, felt very much annoyed because the Seehun II was dis abled.
 The air was clear as crystal, the wind delightfully."- cool and of from 12 to Is miles strength and the sea smooth
 Hundreds of yachts of every descrip- tion came out of Marblehead harbor laden with throngs to see the sport. Four revenue cutters kept the course clear and the United States navy was represented by Secretary Meyer on board the dis patch boat Dolphin while the presiden- tial yacht, Sylph, with several ladies on the bridge, steamed close to the line.
 The race was sailed over a triangular course, with the starting line about tlve miles southeast of Marblehead rock. The first leg of the course was a dead heat to windward of two and half miles al- most directly into the south of the harbor. the second leg broad reach to the east ward, two and a half miles, and the third leg another reach to the stakeboat
 This gave the contesting yachts a total distance of 15 miles to cover, since they were sent around the triangular course twice.

side having a kick out may have the option of taking the kick, as under the present rules, or having the ball down for a scrimmage on their 25-yard line. This, it is easy to see, is q very impor- tant change, and it provides a great re- lief to any team driven down into it's own goal. particularly when there is strong wind blowing against them. This will permit of teams who have been caught in that difficulty of having made a touchdown and being forced to kick the ball out while the opponents stand on the 25-yard line. to so place the ball as to put it out of danger; that is, where the opponents will not get a fair catch. and thereupon kick a goal or even If they do make a fair catch, make a drop kick try-atgoal, sending it once more across the goal line, even if the goal be missed, and keeping up this practice until they succeed. No relief could be obtained in kicking the ball out of bounds, be- cause 1t must be kicked over again, and if it was kicked out again the possession of the ball was surrendered Now, under the new rule, in the first place, a side has all the advantages of kicking out as under the present rules, and none of the disadvantages for they may scrimmage the ball on the 25-yard line, instead of taking the kick-out. That gives them a chance at the running game and an op- portunity to work the ball out little way at least with the possibility of con- siderable gain. Then, again, if held, they can pass the ball back for kick and the kicker can kick the ball out of bounds a play which is perfectly legt- innate from a scrimmage, and thus rem der any attempt of the opponents to make fair catch nil.
 The rule goes still further, too, if fol- lowed out to it's legitimate conclusion. It has always been a good point for team

KEENE TAKES HIS
 FIFTH FUTURITY

Sheepshead Bay, August 30.-Sunshine and a. cloudless sky made life worth liv- ing today for the 15,000 spectators at the races Of the 14 horses which were announced as starters in the futurity, three-Big Stick, Dull Care and Glenna Deane-were scratched, but two other eligibles, Angerona and Sandrian, were saddled in the hope that they might land a portion of the rich prizes.
 The Keene entry was installed hot favorite in the betting and at the open ing odds, to 5, the multitude swooped down upon the memory brokers with such bundles of money that the layers were forced to cut the price until at post time to 10 was the best price in sight. Many of them rubbed the entry off their programmes completely. Candleberry was well played at 8 to l. but his price never theless had risen to to at the close with to 5 that he would not run sec ond. Barley Thorpe and Rocky O'Brien also had hordes of admirers and the sharpshooters all over the ring were wagering small sums on the long shots in the hope of making a killing. The rasci- ble temper of Sweep resulted again to- day in his being led to the post while the other candidates paraded past the stands and received the plaudits of the spectators Arrived at the barrier, Sweep, by his uneasiness, delayed the start ten minutes. Then the webbing flashed and the thirteen horses went away to good start.
 Sweep was off on his tiptoes, closely followed by Barley Thorpe, Grasmere, Mailitine and General Armstrong. There was good deal of crowding, however, and Sweep fell back behind Grasmere and Barley Thorpe into third position. Candle berry had gotten away badly, but was making his way through the tumble and striking out for the leaders.
 At the quarter Grasmere still was lead ing and Barley Thorpe was at his heels, coming fast. Then Sweeps rider gave him his head for few seconds Sweep answered with gameness and at the five furlongs led by a length and a half. with Candleberry second. At this point the race ended so far as first place was concerned, for Butwell put his charge under wraps and simply galloped home.
 A sixteenth from the finish it looked like Keene would take both first and sec ond places, for Candleberry had given way to Grasmere, which was leading him by full length, while Barley Thorpe was but an eyelash behind Candleberry. Mus grave, however, went to the whip and stirred up the lettering Candleberry. Inch by inch he cut down Grasmeres lead. The spectators yelled with frenzy. Neck and neck the two horses raced, but Grasmere began to falter. Scoville used his whip, but with no effect. The Med dler colts energy was spent and he fell back beaten by short length at the wire.
 Meantime Sweep had crossed the mark majestically, was being applauded by the multitude and MT. Keene was being con- graduated by his friends on having taken for i've times the futurity.

 Marcan will be a valuable man for next season and will help out materially this year, it is thought. Just how Manager the arrival of Marcan is of course un- known. However it is not considered probable that any man will be released, for since the release of Bowen and the disposal of Raftis by the waiver route the team is not up to the player limit.
 It is probable that Gygli will be again placed on first and McGilvray used as utility man, although the benching of such a good hitter as McGilvray might be considered very poor policy
