VALUE OF FIELD GOAL IS RE-
DUcED FROM FOUR TO THREE
POINTS By COMMITTEE.
GUIDE FOR THIS YEAR IS OUT
Code Makers Deal Kindly When Tack
ling Problems Of Great Fall Sport
New Provision In Regard to Kick
out After a Touchback-Some Ad-
vice for Referees.
By r. L. TERRELL.

The football guide for 1909 is out
that little booklet for which all
football players anxiously wait Not
satisfied with the ordinary troubles
of life the football player must needs
take new trouble upon himself by en-
deavoring, usually without definite
results, to masticate and then swallow
every. morsel which the rule-makers
put out before him at the opening of
each season.
The guide for 1909 contains many
things Of interest, but the ones of
most Importance are the changes in
the rules. Fortunately. the rule
makers did not feel in such a tamper-
ing mood when they tackled the foot
ball problems at their meeting last
winter. With few exceptions they
were content to leave well enough
alone. and it is certain that a vast
majority OF the football enthusiasts
throughout the country will praise
them for their attitude.
A vital and most satisfactory
change has been made In the matter
of scoring. This year a field goal will
net only three points to the side
making it, instead of four, which Is
truly giving the play all that it de.
serves. 1t Is the consensus of opinion
that the field goal has always been
rewarded far beyond its just dues.
Fortunately the forward pass has
not come in for any radical change.
The men who played under the rules
Of 1908 will, If they know them we'll,
have a knowledge Of the rules of
1909, suitable for almost any emer-
gard to the forward pass is simply a
slight alteration so that the rules
now make it clear and definite that
there is zone lying behind the
scrimmage line in which space an
end might stand and by assuming this
position be not eligible to receive the
forward pass. The rule Is rather
made to give the official an opportuni-
ty to Judge of the legality or illegality
of the vast assortment Of new plays
which have sprung up in the past
three years.
One of the. most important changes
made is that in regard to the kck-out
after a touchback. The new provision
is that the side having kick-out
may have the option of kicking out,
as under the old rules, Or putting the
ball in play by scrimmage on the
25-yard line. Most important about
the rule is that it provides a very
great release for a team driven down
into its own goal, particularly when
there is strong wind blowing
against them.
A little advice has been appended
for referees which states that they
should never blow their whistles in
case of foul. 1t often happened in
the past that the referee blew his
whistle In such case and as the ref
eree's whistle made the ball dead the
offended side could not take ad-
vantage of whatever run they made
by refusing the penalty. However,
this is only advice, for the rule still
remains the same, that If a referee
blow his whistle, even If he should
do it inadvertently, the ball is still
dead and the play must stop.

other day when a ball stuck on the
spike of the fence and the umpire
called it a home run. The rules pro-
vided that a ball over the fence was

to suppress the fans, while three field

WOULD ENLARGE NATIONAL. ...s
COMMISSION MEMBERSHIP
President Murphy Believes Supreme
Baseball Body Should Include
Minor Representation.

President Murphy of the Chicago
Cubs has some ideas regarding the
government of baseball that he hopes
to see carried out before another year
is over. He believes the membership
of the national commission should be
enlarged and that the minor leagues
should have representation on the
ruling body. ..
Baseball is big thing" said he re-
Gently; "a much bigger thing than 1t
was six years ago, when the national
commission came into existence. l
believe the present members of the
body work as hard as they can, but I
believe there ought to be four more
members and that the minors ought
to have some voice in the rulings
handed down.
1T seems to me 1t would be good
thing to have the presidents of both
major leagues and the presidents of
class AA minor organizations on the
commission. 1 think Powers, O'Brien
and Sexton ought to have voices in
the highest court Of organized base
ball, and would suggest that Presi-
dent Johnson and C. w. Somers of
the American league and President
Heydler and Garry Hermann Of the
National be the other four members.
Furthermore, belive that all the
meetings of the commission ought to
be open to the public, and that ball
player who has or thinks he has a
grievance should be allowed to appear
before the commission or be repre-.
scented by an advocate for the purpose
of having his case stated properly.
y Il don't think the major leagues
have any right to keep the minors of
the ruling board, and l am backed up
in this opinion by some of the most
experienced men in baseball, John T.
Brush among others. Baseball, has
grown wonderfully in the last six
years, and there is no reason to be-
lieve it will not grow just as much
more In the next six. think we ought
to prepare for the growth to come by
making the national commission a
truly representative body"

PACKAGE POST FOR FOREIGNERS
BUT NOT FOR US?

Think of this: With the begin
mig of the year we have a parcels
post arrangement with Austria mot
Hungary, under which parcels
which weigh eleven pounds and are
three and half feet long can be
sent for twelve cents a pound, but
we have no such favor granted to
our own citizens as we give to for
eigners. This utmost limit we al
low them is four pounds and cent
an ounce. Why don't we do as
much for our own citizens? Because
it does not please Senator Platt and
the powerful express companies.
Japan has over fify-two million dol
lars in postals savings banks; we
have none. On the side in favor
of postal savings banks may be men
toned not only the European coun-
tries, but the Philippine Islands,
where they have been established
by our government, to the great adj
vantage Of the people. In Hawaii
they are asking for them again, for
they had them before annexation.
The Honolulu Chamber of Com
merce, and practically all the bank
e-s, have signtd the request. In the

GOOD WORK or The HOME FIND.
ING SOCIETY

Desiring to spread its wolk moe
thoroughly over the state, both in
receiving homeless children and
placing them in chiidless homes, the
working staff of the Washington
Children Home Society met in
Seattle last week in conference
with Superintendent Covington
The society, which has handled 614
children in the past year, plans still
more extensive work, especially in
outlying countries. At present the
expenses Of the society, which is
supported by charity, are largely
borne by Seattle and Spokane cor
tributions.
During the past twelve years the
society has covered the entire state
az far as it's funds and facilities
would permit, and has received and
placed in homes children from the
various counties in the following
numbers:

children have been recrived from
Alaska and 81 from outside of the
state. The adoption of children in
to homes in the various counties
has been in about the same pro-
portion as the children taken from
the counties.
