WORLDS SERIES, SURE.
Nothing Will Be Allowed to interfere
With 1t, Says Hermann.

Cincinnati, Dec. 2i-The East has
come to be all mussed up over the
feeling that there may be no worlds
series next year But it ought not to
he. Fear not. oh f'uttering East: fear
thee not. For there will be a worlds
series even if some of those ;JS games
have to be postponed until the season
of 1911. Garry Hermann says the
championship series is to be placed
ahead of the latter part of the National
League schedule, and that though the
1853 games will not be played the
championship will be settled.
I'm fact" he said. we are going
to play that championship series if we
have to do it wading around in ;jlcet
and snow
Here is his direct TESTIMONY To the
aforesaid first portion of the first part:
Nothing will be allowed to Interfere
with the usual worlds championship
series of games next fall-rot even the
desire to experiment with Il schedule
comprising 16S games.
He said this both as President Herr.
mann of the Reds and Chairman Herr
mann of the National Commission.

and growing interest in baseball is
largely stimulated by these post-season
games, and SO feel that it would he
retrogression To do anything that would
prevent their being played. The fact
that the National League has asked its
schedule committee to draw UP pro-
gram for l6S games does rot mean
that this matter is settled. All tho
schedule committee can do is to submit
its report. II the league as 9 whole
thinks il unwiSc t. follow the commit
tees suggestions it does not have to.
personally | dont think that the
16S-game schedule will interfere with
the worlds championship. And this
believe in. remembering that the Amer
lean League Will play 154 games. Their
schedule can be so arranged that their
season will close about the same time
ours does. This will leave long enough
period to prepare and no time to waste
between the regular season and the
opening of the worlds championship
games.
"However. il is still uncertain if we
are to play l6S games. That will all be
settled when the cormittee makes it's
report. But we are going Ia consider
the worlds championships in our gen.
eral survey of the schedule

A FEW SUGGESTIONS.
Coach Stage Advances Some Ideas on
Football Revision.

Chicago Dec 24-Coach A. A. Stage
yesterday applied the knife to the for
ward pass in the cause of sane foot
ball The University of Chicago mentor
operated on the forward pass rules
with a view of lessening the annual
toll Of football deaths and injuries and
will present the results to the Nation
al experts at next Tuesdays meeting
of the International Athletic ASSOcia-
ton in New York.
Coach Stages ideas for football re-
vision follows:
"Not to allow pulling or pushing of
the man carrying the ball in order to
prevent mass plays and striking with
the force of two or three men in Il
compact body.
ITO remove the penalty for an I'M
completed forward pass on the first
and seconds downs. Let the ball be
brought back to the point from which
it was thrown without penalty to en-
courage open and spectacular play.
ITO put penalty on player crawl
ing with the bali and to enforce the
penalty for dropping on man that is
on the ground.
ITO protect the receiver of forward
passes and on-side kicks from body
checking.
ITO lesislate as far as possible tor
the removal of players suffering from
exhaustion by urging upon coaches and
trainers to remove such men and by
having rule that man who takes
out time the second time shall be put
out of the game by the referee.
ITO limit the halves in High school,
preparatory schools and all unframed
teams to no more than 25 minutes

WALKERS COPPER LETTER.

Walkers Copper Letter in Saturday
Boston Commercial will say:
The tone of the copper market is strong
er Lake is Is ga to IA cents, and electro
lytic is 10 5-S to IA cents per pound. Al
though nothing has been given out by
those in position to speak with authori-
ty, it is known that the leading produc-
ing interests have reached an agreement
to curtail their production about 10 per
cent. until the price of the metal is high
er: The December production OF the
mines of the United States is expected
to show a falling off of at least or per
cent, and a like decrease in January and
February is probable! The object of this
curtailment IS to restore confidence among
consumers and permit the remaining sur
plus supplies to be absorbed.
Viewed from a long range standpoint,
the outlook for copper IS exceedingly
bright. Authorities on railroad develop
ment point out that the volume of traffic
on the railroads of this country doubled
in the past 1O-year period. They declare
that it unquestionably will double again
in the coming decade; and as the roads
have already practically reached the linn
it's of their carrying capacity. new tracks
and extensive additions to terminals,
equipment, etc, will have to be provided.
In view of the fact that through electri-
fication any given steam railroad can in
crease it's carrying capacity so per cent.
without the construction of any new
tracks or increased terminal facilities, 1T
may be expected that the work of chang
ing over from steam to electricity will be
well under way much sooner than many
people have believed. When the electri-
tication of railroads is undertaken in a
big way all of the mines of all kinds will
be unable to supply the amount of copper
which will be required, and We shall in
all probability witness another 25-cent
metal market
In the immediate future the price of
copper should go higher as the result of
increasing consumption due to the steady
inn So, I'm
tons. expect the price of copper to adj
vance above IA cents Immediately after
the first of the year. and it should reach
10 cents by April or May.

Boston Curb Letter.

AS Christmas eve approached the Bos-
ton Curb developed tremendously san
guihe ana buoyant aspect one that was
in full keeping with the spirit of the
Yuletide. Brokers generally We're happy
and welcomed the holiday advent which
came in the midst of one of the busiest
market periods of the year now closing.
The feeling is that with the ringing out
of the old year there will come the usher
ing in of bigger year than ever for the
Boston Curb. There have been number
of premature and abortive starts on the
bold copper market but the general opin-
ion of the Street is that the new year
will see it fairly launched and on the way
to stay.
The entire curb list, prominently the
ccppers, has shown actual activity in
nearly every instance or significant ten
dency toward activity and in nearly every
issue has been presented opportunities or
possibilities Of money making.
