LOUD UNIFORMS PASSING
FROM MODERN BALL FIELD
Gay Color Display Of Yesterday Ha'
DISAPPEARED and, Plain Hues
Now Rule.

Color 10 passing from the baseball
field.
To-day there is little left to resemble
the uniforms Of yesterday. White AZ
home and gray abroad are soon to be
the color schemes of the big league
clubs.
The sporting goods houses who fur
nish uniforms annually are still cata
loguing the gay colors in their sam
pie books, but orders for them are
rare-rarer this year than ever be-
fore.
The love of color, which is more
or less barbarian, has passed into
baseball history. In 1866 when the
men who had fought in the civil wal
were returning home to begin the
work of reconstruction, small fac
tory in New England began to manu-
facture baseballs. Previously they
had been made Of strips Of rubber
shoes worn with old stocking yarn.
The rule requiring uniforms fol
teams was adopted in 1882. The stock.
ings worn by the players were:
Detroit-Old gold.
Worcester-Brown.
Cleveland-Navy blue.
Chicago-White.
Boston-Red.
Troy-Green.
Providence-Lght blue.
Buffalo-Gray.
The floods of color come In the
ranks of the amateurs. Youthful am
billions are partly realized in wearing
uniforms of oriental shades, they
please the youthful eye and add LOTT
ness to positions on the teams that
delight Boyville on the corner lots.
when I started out in baseball
they were strong for color display"
said "Hughie" Jennings the other
day. "The first uniform l ever owned
was one Of a rich red. don't think
l ever saw q shade of red that was
quite as loud as that of my uniform.
And how proud was Of that red suit.
was quite the biggest boy in our
town."

FIELDER JONES Is OUT;
OF THE GAME FOR GOOD
Former Manager Of Chicago White
sox Declines the Offer of
Owner Comiskey.y

The final refusal of Fielder Jones
to harken to the flattering offer OF
President Charles Comiskey of the
Chicago American league club dispels
the last ray Of hope that the great
field general will see fit to change his
plans. When Comiskey met Jones in
Portland, Ore, and offered to allow
Jones to write his own contract the
former White Sox player simply said:
NO.. am out of baseball for good.
That's final" v,
His refusal to play again recalls his
statement made last season when the
White Sox still had chance to land
the American league pennant.
1T makes no difference where we
finish this season; when 1t 10 over
am through with baseball for the re.
mainder of my life," said he at that
time. Il will meet my brother in a
day or so and close a contract with
him, which will make us business
partners, and the baseball public will
see no more of me after the bells tap
for the close of the game, unless it
be in the worlds championship series.
I am in such position that l can
do better out of baseball than in it,
and, furthermore, I am wearing out I'M
der the strain and want to get out.
There is not the slightest chance of
my changing my mind. When ! said
I'd quit meant it, and am through
when it is over this year."
The passing of Fielder Jones is a
sad blow to Charley Comiskey's hopes,
and the baseball world loses one OF
its brightest stars.
Like Griffith and a few other great
stars, Jones is of Welsh descent. He
began playing ball in the minors many
years back, but didn't remain minor
for any length Of time. When he was
seized by the Brooklyn club he was
picked solely for elegant and elabo-
rate batting, and was not thought to
be anything above the usual class of
flelders.
As the years went on his batting
fell away. He was, apparently, one of
the men who never recovered from the
blow inflicted by the foul-strike rule.
But with the fading of his batting
came almost superhuman skill in the
field and the ability to manage men,.
He became an outfielder of the Fo-
garty-McAleer variety, and no gardener
in history knew better where to lay
for the flies or how to direct the men
beside him. Finally he became a play
ing manager, won one worlds pennant

An important change in the foot
ball rules was made by the intercol'
legiate football rules committee which
met in New York City recently, IN the
reduction Of points for goal from the
field from four to three. The object
of this change is to prevent two goals
from the field counting more than q
hard won touchdown and goal. Two
GOALS from the field now will count
the same as a touchdown and goal.
The change will reduce the 1mpor-
lance to teams of star field kickers,
and will make it harder for medic
ere team with a good kicker beating
out a better all around team without
q star kicker. There were numerous
instances last year when games were
won on account Of the high value OF
two goals from the field.
The only other change OF .1mpor:
lance was In relation to infection OF
penalties. During the year there was
frequent confusion over their inflic'
ton when two penalties had been IN
Cured by one team for the same play.
The rules now provide that In case
Of two penalties being incurred the OF.
Tending team will have the option OF
saying which penalty shall be I'M
posed.
The rules relating to touchdown
provide that the side making touch
back shall have the option of kicking
out or keeping the ball for scrim-
mage on the line. The change is de-
sixned to remove some of the hard
ships of a team down under its own
goal, especially when it has been
forced there, otherwise than by rush
ing. It gives them chance for two
rushes before the kick and better
chance to hold the line after the
kick. #%1r ..:
The committee adopted a rule pro-
.viding that when a center feints or
makes a fake attempt to pass the ball
his team shall lie penalized five yards.
Another change relating to the en-
forcement Of penalties, provides. that
no penalty can be imposed to carry
the ball over the line either for
touchdown or a safety It also pro-
vides that hereafter play must stop
Immediately when the referee blows
his whistle for q foul. There was
some confusion in this particular last
year due to the fact that play con-
tinued after the whistle was blown.
In some cases the changes simply are
In the way Of Qualification of rules
as they have existed.
There were no changes in the rules
relating to the forward pass, which
were limited at previous to the meet
ing. One feature of this rule was
clarified to provide that the ends who
are more than one foot behind the
scrimmage line shall be out OF play
and ineligible to handle the ball.
Heretofore the rules confused the ref
cree when the end was more than q
foot but less than a yard behind the
line, and the rule now makes the def
mite provision as to the dead zone.
Heretofore the rules have contained
no diagram Of the position of various
players, and this will be remedied by
it's inclusion hereafter.

Tough game to lose, old boy" is
an expression often heard by the
pitcher who has been unfortunate
enough to get away with the short
end ofSa pitchers battle. True, 1t is
a tough thing to lose game Of this
kind, but does it ever occur to the
fans that it was just as hard game
to win as to lose? There is no ques-
ton that the pitcher who lost is right
fully entitled to all the sympathy he
gets, but at the same time his oppo-
nent, who was forced to 60 to the
limit to win, is also entitled to some
consideration, aside from the fact that
he was returned the winner Espe-
cially 10 this true where the teams
have been going along on even terms
all the way to the finish only to have
one club shove over the run that wins
the game. The winning pitcher has
= been forced to be under as much OF
a strain as has his opponent and tho
only difference in their feelings at tho
end is that one is happy and the other
disappointed. Everyone seems to be
under the impression that pitchers

The reason is soon apparent. When
a twirler is holding the opposition to

q sure thing that everything is break

he is able to accomplish what he is
doing is sufficient proof of this asser-
ton. II things were not breaking

innings before the opposition would

WILL SUCCEED El|OT
PROF. LOWELL TO BE PRESIDENT
 OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY.
New Man Is 52 Years Old, Holds Chair of Science of Govern ment and Is Author of
 Many Books.

Boston.-Prof. A Lawrence Lowell will succeed Charles w. Eliot as presi- dent of Harvard university. He was nominated for the honor at a recent meeting of the Harvard corporation and President Eliot subsequently pre- sented his name to the board of over. seers, who confirmed the nomination. The members of the corporation were unanimous in their selection.
 The corporation of Harvard college is made up of President Eliot, Treas urer Adams and five fellows.
 Besides Prof. Lowell, the names of Wallace Clement Sabine, professor of physics, dean of the Lawrence Scien- tif1c school and dean of the Graduate School of Applied Sciences, and Charles Homer Haskins, professor of three Prof. Lowell is the oldest and the only Harvard alumnus. He was graduated from the academic depart ment and from the law school.
 Abbott Lawrence Lowell has writ ten some half dozen books bearing on national and international politics. For two years he lectured at Harvard and held a full profes sorship there for a third. For some years past, when the likelihood of President Eliot's ab- dieation has been discussed, Pref. Lowell has been invariably named as his logical successor.
 Prof Lowell was born on December 13, 1856, and is two years younger than his brother, Percival Lowell, who has won many laurels in astronomy and scholarship. The Lowells were among the early settlers of New Eng land. having come to Newburyport in 1639. The sons attended Harvard col lege and travelled abroad before choos- ing life occupations

German Debt Steadily erowino

Since 1877 there has been only one year in which the German national debt has not been increased. It IS HOW. according to recent official statements, 13,0OO,0O0 or little more than the French indemnity. The debt has been doubled since 1895. For the last eight years. government publications again admit expenditures have exceeded re. ceipts by s471000,0O0, or an average of $53,O0c,0O0 year. The national debt has already cost the country in interest and administrative expenses about s3S0.000.000 and yet Germany could have kept out of debt altogether as Professor Schanz has recently shown, if the revenues had only been Increased by about SIP, LOGO, 900 yearly

 Last year Prof. Lowell was elected president of the American Political Science association to succeed James Bryce, the British ambassador at Washington.
 Prof Lowell graduated from liar yard university in 1877 and returned to study at the law school In 1880 he began the practice of law in Bos- ton
 Much of his time has been devoted to literature, and he is the author of a number of books on the science of government. His most recent work, ''The Government of England" has considered masterpiece, ranking with The American Commonwealth, D by James Bryce. Among other works of Prof Lowell are Essays in Govern ment," 1SS9 Governments and Par ties in Continental Europe" 1896 From 1897 to 1899 he lectured at Har- yard and became professor of science and government there in 1890.
 Harvard records attest that the new president was an athlete of note, par ticularly in track events. The trophy room rolls give testimony for ex- ample, that on May 19, 1877, he won first place in the mile run at Beacon park. Six feet tall, with a wiry frame, he was considered a great runner in his day. He kept up his interest in athletics ana attends all the great events. He is thought likely to have no quarrel with those who regard ath- letic competition as a profitable incl dent of a collegiate career. Intercol- legiate athletics, it is predicted, will have their place in student activities. under moderate checks.
