LAJoIE HAS BETTER
 MARK THAN WAGNER.
Napoleon Leads Hans by Five Points on Grand Averase-captain Anson Was the Real Hitter.

Comparisons of the grand batting averages of Napoleon Lajoie and Hans Wagner since they broke into big lague company, in the case of che for mey for IA seasons and one less for the Pittsburg slugger show that the Cleve- land man has the advantage of five points with the returns for the 1909 season all in.
 During the 14 years Lajoie has play ed Ill the faestest company he has a grand average of .347, while for 13 sea- sons Wagner hangs up the figures of .342. The big Frenchman beat Wagner in the averages in seven of the 13 sea- sons both were in fast company, and tied him once, while the Dutchman had the advantage in five. The pair finish ed the season of 1903 with even figures -.355 each. Lajoie had the higher av- erages in 1898, 1900, 1901, 1902, 1904, 1906. Wagner led in the other seasons.
 The Pittsburg man has never batted for less than 300 in any season, and his highest mark was reached in 1905, when he batted at .366 clip. Lajoie's highest mark was made in 1901, when he made APP rating. He fell to .299 in 1907 and finished at .2S9 clip in 1908.
 In mentioning the brilliant work of this pair of great batters 1t might not be amiss to speak of the work with the stick of Captain Anson of the Chicago team. He was in the limelight for 15 consecutive seasons. from 1876 to 1890, and his grand average was .346, a rec ord never touchd. A comparative ta- ble of the work of Wagner and Lajoie fellows.

JENKINS AND zRYszKo.
Former American Champion Wrestler
 and Foreigner Matched.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 2S.-For the first time since his memorable match with Frank Gotch at the Grays' armory sev- eral years ago, Tom Jenkins will make his, appearance before Cleve- land audience. He has been matched to meet Zbyszko, the Polish wrestler, in straight catch as catch can style at the Grays' armory on Wednesday evening, January 5. This match was not consummated until Monday after noon, when the papers were signed. Jenkins wants to show Clevelanders that he can hold his own with the wrestlers of the country and is barring no one. In meeting Zbyszko he is tack ling a man who held his own with Frank Gotch at Buffalo, for an hour, neither gaining a fall. The Polish athlete will meet Been in Buffalo on New Years day.
 This should be a good match. even though very little is known of Tom Jenkins lately as a wrestrler, for he has been devoting his time as instruc- tor at West Point. Should Jenkins train and be in shape he should give the Polish aspirant for the worlds championship a hard tussle.

HACKERS PROPOSE
 PURSE AND A CUP.
Running Talk All the Go--Match Race
 Proposition.

Norwich packers of Clifford Hilton who have a wad of money to pu- up on his running ability over the New London to Norwich course, said on Tuesday that they could see nothing attractive in taking bet on the i,rop- osltion offered by Capt. William H, Wicks' packers that he coul1 beat Hilton:s time. It was too much of a bet in tae dark, as they knew nothing about Wicks as a runner and didn't even know if he could go over the course. They had a proposition to of fer, however, saying that they were willing to match man against man for any amount that would satisfy the hospital mans supporters. In ad :. dition. as Hilton had been over tle course once just for the honor Of the thing, they wouldn't ask him tu run for nothing again, but proposed that each side to the bet put in something for trophy that the runners could race for. This could not be a money prize. as Hilton's amateur standing would only allow him to run for cup O. some other trophy.
 Since the announcements of the long distance abilities of Wicks, there has been nothing but running talk in focal sporting 5, circles. Tales were told Tuesday night of the rugged work that the Hospital man has been d)- ing this winter, which make it appear that he would show up as a dark horse of considerable pretensions in the field. Those who claimed to know said that Wicks has been training for more than month past with runs in the night over the roads around the Hospital neighborhood. He would sip off by himself to Dawley's lumber yard, get into his running togs be- hind convenient pile of lumber, and hike off for miles over the surround ing country. A plunge into the icy Thames is the usual finish to hls training stunt. He IS said to have cov- cred the distance down to the navy yard and back in time that proves him distance runner to be reckoned with.
 A man who works in a Thamesville store said Tuesday evening that a run ner passed there Christmas morning, clothed in regulation running costume and heading for Norwich. He could not tell who he was. but said he was running strong and took the Thames vile hill in good shape. This seems to put an unknown in the field, who may be heard from yet.

New York, Dec. 2S.-The Intercollegi- ate Athletic association adopted and submitted to it's rules committee to- night a resolution calling for modi- fication of the football playing rules whereby the injury to contestants may be confined to a minimum.
 This is the resolution as introduced by Prof. E. K. Hall of Dartmouth and adopted after three hours of acrimoni- ous discussion:
 That the football rules committee of this association be instructed to use every possible endeavor to bring about such a modification of the rules as in their judgment shall tend to reduce to a minimum the danger of physical in jury to the players and at the same time retain as far as may be possible the most desirable and wholesome fea- lures of the game"
 Only three negative votes were reg istered against the resolution, but nearly every college in the west had something to say concerning it.
 Stagg Wanted Gag Law.
 Prof. A. A. Stagg of the, University of Chicago made motion which would prohibit all officials of football game, including umpires, referees and all other participants, from talking to newspaper men after the game. Stagg made strong appeal for this motion, saying he had been grossly misquoted at times; but the convention defeated the motion by an overwhelming vote.
 The revision of the game was order ed, it is understood, with due consid eration of the associations of Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania, Cornell and a few other institutions which are not members of the intercollegiate associa- tion. Harvard has joined the associa- tion, but it's representative let 1t be known that his institution would not be bound by the new football rules of the association, though it would rec ognize it's regulation of other minor sports.
 Have Substituted English Rugby Game
 A letter was read from David Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stanford Junior university, stating that the American game had been abandoned there and that the English Rugby game had been found satisfactory, not only to the students, but to the spec tators.
 In the discussions tonight it became apparent that the larger colleges were in favor of the present playing rules, perhaps in a modified form, and that

 Battling Nelson will be taking long chances when he enters the ring to box Freddie Welch in London. Welch has a great chance to make Nelson look foolish in a 20round go, and the championship of the world will go with the decision.
 Tom Jones, who formerly had Papke under his wing, is in bad on the coast As manager of Ad Wolgast he de- manded and drew down a $200 forfeit posted by Frank Picato, who was to have boxed Wolgast. Picato fell i'll and secured a postponement, but the grasping Jones couldn't let the for felt money slip.

STAFFORD SPRINGS UMPIRE
 WAS THE BEST YET.
Hit Was Neither Fair Nor Foui-6st-
 ter Had to Try Again.

Until played in an exhibition game in Stafford Springs few years ago l believed everybody knew when ball was foul and when 1t was fair" says Bronkie of the Waterbury team. ''The umpire, a native, didn't, though. and his ignorance cost one of the hardest played games I ever figured in.
 Tt was an even struggle until the ninth inning, neither side scoring. We got two men on in the ninth, and the next batter drove the ball to left field. It was line hit, and landed squarely on the chalk mark. A cloud of white dust marked the spot. Both runners scored, and we counted the game as good as won. The umpire was in deep study, and when our next batter came up he asked for time.
 Say. that hit to left field wasn't nothing.' he said, finally. It wasn't foul or fair. It hit right on the line, and the batter must bat aver again. The base runners will have to go back.
 We surrounded the umpire and tried to tell him, but 1t was no use. The foul line is neutral f1round,' he replied, and I don't care darn what the rules are.' The home team got run in the last of the ninth, winning to o."

ANOTHER TRoTTINe DERBY.
Eliminating Heats With Horses of
 Unknown Speed Barred.

The American Trotting Derby. at Readville will be renewed next year, but on conditions quite different from those of 1909. Experience has con- vinced MT. Welch that it is impossi- ble to satisfactorily handicap horses that never started in public. and the third renewal of the stakes will be limited to trotters having records of 2.15 or better. Green horses may be entered, but they must have trotted at least three public races before the time comes for handicapping the en- tries. Mir. Welch purposes also to re- store the elimination heats or races, which were a feature of the $50,000 handicap in 1908. The purse in 1910 will probably be $10.000 for trotters and S5.000 for pacers. Mr. Welch is considering the plan of separating the real pacers from the hobblers in the latter division of the handicap.

Sharp Debate Over Football Changes
Only Three Negative Votes On Proposition to Make Chanses-Larger Colleges Favor Present Rules with Some Changes-More New London to Norwich Run ming ak.

the smaller institutions were violently opposed to them. The representative of nearly every institution of high learning between New York and San Francisco made an address and many offered motions designed to limit the present dangers of football These of ferings became so confused that Halls resolution was adopted as a com promise.
 Representatives from Cornell and other institutions not directly repre- scented in the association suggested that rules minimizing the danger of the sport would be acceptable. It was the consensus of opinion that the rules regulating mass play and the running tackle, otherwise known as the flying tackle, and playing through the line would have to be done away with. The representatives of a number of large colleges expressed themselves not only in favor of this, but conveyed the threat that they would either adopt a modified form of football or would withdraw from the association.

PHIL KINGS SUGGESTIONS.
Famous Princeton Quarter Tells How
 to Modify Football.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Phil King, three times quarterback on the All American football team, and now an advisory coach at Princeton, has for warded his suggestions for changing the rules of football to the Intercol- legiate Athletic association, which will meet in New York tomorrow Kings ideas for betterment of the game have been sought and he has given them after some study.
 These are the suggestions:
 Play the backs five yards back of the line of scrimmage;
 Play seven men on the line of de- fence ate all times. In order to off, set the line of defence spreading against that formation, allow the quarter to run anywhere with the ball.
 In the event that the forward pass is retained. remove all restrictions, allowing passes over the line and al- lowing any player to recover the ball, after it has been touched and fumbled.

JoHNSoN'S MAIDEN BATTLE WAS HIS HARDEST.
Entered Ring at 17-Stuck te Fight
 ing Game Since.

What was the hardest fight I ever had? Well, it happened long time be- fore I was 21 years old"
 Jack Johnson when in Indianapolis last week recalled his first eqort in the prize ring, when he related the story of his first battle as a boy of IT years of age. Said Johnson:
 Tt was IA years ago, near my old home in Galveston, Texas, that I had my maiden battle. It was matched win John Lee, who was regarded then as the heavyweight champion of the south. He was a veteran of the ring, and I was only a kid IT years old and the trouble we had in pulling off that fight didn't add anything to my confidence.
 We were matched to fight on the beach near Galveston, but the authori- ties got after us and chased us 14 miles into the country. There is an open field the ring was pitched, and before such spectators as were able to follow us in our flight we went at It.
 Story of His First Fight.
 Say, but that was a fight. Le was big colored fellow, who weighed 1855 pounds then, while weighed only 15S pounds. The hot snu beat down on us as we fought about the ring, and never did remember how 1 put that fellow down and out in the 17th round. But know I was a mighty happy kid when he finally went down and failed to get up and sail into me again in that 17th round..
 After that fight I concluded that there was more money for me in the prize ring than in anything could do, and I resolved to stick to it. For year or two I was the stalking horse in the training camps of various fight CTS. I trained with Dan Creedon. Tom Tracy, Joe Wolcott and other fighters.
 "Of course I was proud to win the title from Tommy Burns, and I was glad I was able to defend 1t against Al Kaufman and Stanley Ketchel. but I don't think I ever got so much satls- faction out of any battle in my life as I did when I won over Frank Childs in F rounds in Los Angeles in 1902.
 Satisfaction in Beating childs.
 q worked with Childs when he was in training for several of his fights while he claimed the colored heavy weight championship of the world. and the way that fellow trated me was a shame.
 q didn't mind so much what he tried to do to me in training quarters, but Childs wasn't on the square with me. and IAwould have starved to death for all he cared.
 Now maybe I didn't tell Childs all about this when I got him going in our Los Angeles fight. When I saw I had him I thought of all the mean things he had done to me, and every time I handed him one told him about 1t. I certainly repaid Childs with in- terest for the dirt he had done me when I practically ended his ring ca reer.
 After my fight with Childs I was given recognition, and have worked always with the heavyweight cham pions in view.
 'T am not trying to reduce my weight now. Tn fact I have taken on twelve or fifteen pounds since my fight with Ketchel, and I want to build up so that I will be in shape to get in and work down to fine condition in the last
