SPORTS OF ALL SORTS.

Pitcher Jack Chesebro will go south | with the Boston Americans and try | to find the winning stuff that he used 1 in former years.
 Victor Beyer, the Paris promoter. is in New York looking up talent. He will try to get Harry Lewis to go to France and meet Willie Lewis.
 Ben Lang, the star football tackle and captain of the Dartmouth basket ball team two years ago, is in line for | appointment as coach of the basket 1 ball five this season.
 Bob Somerville, the champion light | weight wrestler of the United States and England. will train in Rutland, Vt, this winter, and 1 sready to meet all corners in the 135 pound class.
 Annapolis and West Point will in all probability settle the question of basketball supremacy this season. Ar engagements are under way to bring the teams together in West Point on Feb ruary 22.
 Believing that Jack Johnson will be able to put Jeffries to sleep and that the fight will last close to IS rounds, Larry Mclean, catcher for the Reds, who is one of the strongest fight fans in the country, is arranging for a big pool for the fight which will contain close on to $5,o00. The pool will be laid in Cincinnati and will consist en- tirely of local money.
 Little Rock, which, as announced, has been displaced in the Southern Texas league because of the refusal of thes railroads to allow a rate of two cents a mile. The roads claim they cannot carry passengers for less than two and one-half cents becaues of the rate litifiation. Unless they furnish a cheaper rate no attempt will be made to get into the Texas league.
 Christy Mathewson is no wonder when it comes to indoor baseball. The great Matty was one of the players that went to Troy from New York to meet Johnny Evers' indoor nine The ball proved to be too clumsy for Mathewson to handle and he retired in the sixth inning after he had been touched up for 10 hits and had passed thre to first. Incidentally the invad- CTS were beaten by Evers' outfit 12 to 1.
 The Harvard wrestling association has arranged three months season, beginning Dec. 1, which is especially designed for football and crew men. This is also open to all members of the university and includes five lessons a week. The primary object of the as- sociation is to make the sport available to a large number of men. A team will also be maintained, to which un- dergraduates only are eligible. Com petitive trials will be held to pick the members of the team from the various classes from .bantamweight, 115 pounds, to heavyweight, over 175 pounds. Outside meets, such as the New England amateur championships in the latter part of January, are open to any member of the association. The university championships will be held in Eatrlnrv-

PRINcEToN,s VIEWS.
University Daily Paper Urges More Open PIay-6etter for Spectators and Football Players.

In an editorial which calls attention to the demand for the need of open football, the Daily Princetonian asks for revision of the rules.
 It says:
 Football has always claimed it's vic- tims. It has ever been a strenuous tussle in which the law of the sur vival of the Attest has held true. No alterations in the rules, which are apt to be made will materially lessen the number of accidents, but it is the opin- ion of many that opening up the game will prevent so many serious ones as occurred this season. This is the first and most important reason why the open game seems best.
 "The second is because it is much more interesting to the spectators. The theory that the game is played for the enjoyment of the players has long been an exploded one. The ath- letic prestige of the institution is what the men really work so hard for. a thing which may be won as creditably in one kind of game as another, pro- vided all teams play the same kind of game; so 1t may be won as we'll in an open contest as in the old, and be a delight to the spectators at the same time. Because it is less dangerous to players and more interesting to watch CTS, 1t is hoped the open game will be made a certainty.
 Until the present rules are mate rially changed the old style of mass play will continue to hold the field. But how to change them-there is the problem which is by no means an easy one. Care must be exercised not to let the play degenerate into a mere kicking contest. Such would be the result of making the required dis tance for the first down fifteen instead of ten yards. unless some of the re- strictions imposed at present on the forward pass and the onside kick are removed.
 Shifting the play five yards outside of center when the ball is between the two 25 yard lines, will mean merely the shifting of the line to meet 1t. There are many advantages in placing three or even four men back of the line parallel to the line of scrimmage. as was proven by the Princeton fresh man team this year. It seems a good idea, offering a variety of play at once bewildering and effective.
 Penalties for rough play aer severe enough at present If the officials are only wide awake enough to see what goes on. The difficulty in this case is not with the law, but with it's applica- ton. Moreover, with an open game there would be less chance for rough play, and more probability of detec- tion.
 Finally. some more effective rule might well be passed to restrict coach ing from the side lines, either by re- quiring the coaches to stay off the field or by imposing a severe penalty upon the team so aided.

FORWARD PASS.
Yost Says Cut 1t Out-Harvard Wants
 More of It.

Fielding H. Yost. coach of the uni- versity of Michigan's football team, expressed his opinion on the question of whether interference should be done away with in the game. Coach Yosts opinion on football is the opinion of the entire athletic body of Michigan university and can be set forth as such.
 "To abolish interference for the man carrying the ball would sound the death knell of football" says Coach Yost. What would happen to the man who was imposed with the task of advancing the leather if he were not afforded some protection? Take a man in the back field, for instance. Give him the ball and let him try to take it through or around the enemy's line. What would happen? Opposite to him would be Il men intent on bringing him to earth, and the chances are 10 to 1 that the luckless carrier of the pigskin would be seriously injured CT killed. Accidents are plenty and deaths from injuries often occur but if in reference were abolished 1t wouldn't be safe for anybody to play the game.
 If the reformers want to eliminate the dangers from the game, let them abolish the forward phss. There's where most of the danger lies. Do you think anybody would be foolhardy
  tackling in basketball? Imagine what a murderous game that would be if those tactics were allowed to prevail. Injuries and deaths have increased to an alarming extent since the forward pass has been in vogue, and if the reformers are sincere in their efforts to modify the game to a safe basis they should eliminate the forward pass and go back to the old style of play.
 "But to cut out in the interference, never; one might just as well play the game in parlor and go through plays in their mind. Football would not be football without the interference"
 Urges Forward Pass.
 The Harvard Daily Crimson, in an editorial strongly advocates a chanage in the present rules of football. It says:
 ITO legislate all danger out of foot ball without changing it into a parlor game is clearly impossible, but it should be modified to prevent serious accidents which occur most frequently in mass plays. The remedy is to in- troduce more open play by removing the restrictions which now make the forward pass such an uncertain and desperate expedient. The Yale game showed how seldoZ this play will be used as long as there are limitations which make it a mere last resource. Such change would make a more spec tacular contest than the present rules encourage"

FEW PITCHERS DEVELOPED.
Jack chesebro Points Out the Few Finds in Major Leagues Last Year.

Commenting upon the increasing dif- f1culty of developing new pitchers from the minor leagues for major league positions, Jack Chesebro says that the fans can't expect managers to go out and buy pitchers and catchers like to much wheat.
 Look at the number of pitchers who start the season." he says. "and see how many there are who develop dur ing season. Look the lists over in the champion teams of the two big leagues you find no phenomenons used by Manager Jennings. He had to rely on old material. while on the corps of the Pittsburg team Adams alone proved a star. Connie Mack found a fine young pitcher in Krause, but he was hit very hard the latter part of the campaign and proved findable. The Boston Americans had a fine youngster in Wood, who made a wonderful showing Tor young pitcher. No others did anything particularly wonderful. Turn to the National league. You will find predicated similar state of affairs no phenomenons to speak of. Cincin- nati made good showing in the box with Caspar, and Rowan of the same team did well. Next season you will find many more aspirants for fame. How many will make good?
 "As good pitchers are difficult to get so 1t Is with good catchers. No peo- pie are more unreasonable than the fans. You will hear them wondering why the club owners do not go and buy pitchers and catchers-just as if you could buy baseball material like so much wheat. They little know. l guess New York did not pay big mon- ey for Marquard to the Indianapolis club, but he did not do more than dis appoint I know of big deal that was offered for a crack left handed pitcher. As matters turned out the pitcher went to the bad and the pitcher offered for him developed into crack, and there you are. You never can tell how soon the best pitchers will go to the bad and a rich asset be turned into some- thing entirely valueless."

SIX DAY RACERS
 FIRING OUT FAST.
Now Many Miles Behind Record-HaI- stead and Hehir New Team-Two Out Through Injuries.

New York, Dec. 10.-No six day bi- cycle race is won in a first burst of speed The fatigue of desperate sprinting earlier in the week showed itself today and tonight in listless and laggard riding. From a position at one time more than twenty miles in advance of the record, the leaders dropped steadily to the rear and at 10 o'clock tonight were 39.5 miles behind their mark for the corresponding hour a year ago.
 At one time this afternoon all ten remaining teams of the nineteen which started were within a lap of even terms, but the failure of Lawrence, whose weakened knees forced him to quit under doctors orders, and an &C., cident to Pye, who broke a collarbone in a spill, compelled a realignment. Halstead and Hehir, the surviving partners, combined as a reconstructed team and took the penalty of one lap imposed by the rules.
 Gained Prize of $100.
 An offer of $1O0 to the team gaining a lap before midnight put new life into the riders, and Anderson and Vanoni, in vain effort to steal distance on the leaders, started sprint which cost the Georget brothers a lap. The same team played a pretty trick an hour later. Vanoni came out to relieve An derson, apparently, and stayed in the rear, while Anderson rode to the front and passed on at a good sprint. Think ing him off the track, the field did not pursue, and by the time they had woke up he was around and had turned over to Vanoni. By this trick the Georget brothers lost another lap.
 Just after midnight Halstead jumped the field for half lap in an effort to regain the penalty imposed upon him and his teammate, Hehir, when they joined forces. Clark and Root were hot after him and in a minute, in stead of gaining a lap, he and his partner were straining every muscle to hang on to the tailenders.
 Georget Brothers Lose Laps.
 The sprint lasted sixteen minutes and worked havoc with the score. An derson and Vanoni were Tapped twice and dropped into the third division, while Lawson and Demara and Mitten and West were lapped once and Geor- get brothers four times.
 Two o'oclock score:
 Rutt-Clark, Root-Fogler, Walthour- Collins, Hill-Stein, 2,51% miles 5 laps.
 Halstead-Hehir, 2,315.9.
 Anderson Vanoni, Mitten West Lawson-Demara, 2,315.S
 Georget-Georget, 2,315.5.
 Record for the 122d hour is 2,963.2, made last year by Demara and Hill.

New York. Dec. 1O.-Charles w. Murphy, president of the Chicago Ma tional league club. arrived in New York today with the announcement that he is in favor of John M. Ward being elected president of the Nation al league for the season of 1910. MT. Murphy said that he had nothing against John Heydler, the present president, personally, but he consid- cred Ward the right man for the po- sition. The Chicagoan. retused to say whether he would vote for Heylder, for his old position as secretary and treasurer of the league. Murphy thinks that president will be elected on the first ballot.
 He denies that Chicago capital was furnished to consummate the recent sale of the Philadelphia Nationals, and says that so far as he knows the new owners of the Philadelphia club have not pledged themselves to vote

cRoKER's POOR SHOWING.
Ex-Tammany Chief Only Twenty third Among Irish Winning Owners.

For several years Richard Croker has cut quite a figure among winning owners in Ireland. but this year he finishes ir twenty-third place. his total fr.' tke season being only $12,940. This amount was gained from the work of four horses in six races. During Cro- ker's first years his racing stable was directed by pr. McCabe. who has now a tramirg stable at Newmarket, and the ex-Tammany chief had marked success. Tn fact it is said that Cro-> kel's success was entirely due to Me- Cabe.

 Hermann.
 The Giants have secured another full blooded Indian in the person of John Bull, an Oneida, who played last year with the Marion club. This makes the fourth redskin McGraw has drafted in two years.
 John McGraw is glad to be rid of the cares and worries attendant on Bugs" Raymond's stay in New York. He says that if the cratic twirler could
 not pitch in New York he couldn't pitch anywhere.
 Manager McAleer of the Washington team Is trying to prevent Walter John-
 son from pitching this winter on the coast Johnson is his one best pitcher
 and McAleer is afraid of his big box
 man going stale.
 The exchange of Nichols of the Ath-
 Ietics for Goods of Cleveland may help both teams. Goode will do well with a
 team of youngsters such as Mack has
 developed, while Nichols should make
 good man for the Maps. The Cubans have been licking the Detroit Tigers. But the wounds have been salved. Despite the absence of Cobb and Crawford, the Tigers have been drawing large crowds and the
