NEW SCORING RULES.
Man Must Steal Bases In Legitimate
 Manner.

According to the new scoring rules when e double steal Is attempted and one of the base runners Is thrown out, neithe CT will be credited with pi1fer. There never was a more unjust rule on the catcher than to charge him with stolen base. when he actually had made the only play possible. with a man on first and second and double steal attempted the catcher naturally throws to third Under the old rule, If he got his man the fellow who mere ly moved up while this play was go- ing on, was credited with a steal The only way the catcher could possibly have protected himself against this form of scoring was to have two base balls and be ambidextrous
 The change in the rule will mean a lop off of about fifty steals on the sea son, but steals hereafter will be legiti- mate.

Question Is Drifting.

Berlin, Feb. 2s.-The Foreign Office has not yet received any word from St. Petersburg or Belgrade that the Russian Government has declared Ser via cannot nope for support from Rus sia in the event of an outbreak of hos tilities between Austria Hungary and Servia.
 It Is apparent that the question Is being permitted to drift and in this circumstance Is seen the only serious danger. The declaration of the policy made in the Se:vian Parliament yes- terday by M. Novakovich. the new Pre- mier. Is considered fairly moderate in view of the excited state of Servian feelings.
 Servian students in the polytechnic school at Goethen have received tele- graphic orders to join the colors and it is reported many Austrian students in Germany are homeward bound in the expectation of war
 The best official opinion here. how ever. continues confident that there will be no war between Austria Hungary and Seryia.
