.HEYDLER'S ENEMIES
HAVE NEW SCHEME
May Try to Appoint Execu,
tive Committee to Run
League.

NEW YORK. Dec. Perhaps no
president will be elected by the mag
mates Of the National League at their
meeting here on December IA. but in
stead there may be an executive commit
tee which Will guide the destinies Of
the organization, just as there was In
1902, when president could not be
agreed on. AS matters stand now Pitts
burg, Cincinnati, st. Louis and Boston
are strong for John Heydler's continu-
ance in the presidential chair: New
York. Brooklyn, and Chicago are equal
ly strong for John Ward to take
Heydler's place, with Philadelphia
through its figure-head executive. trying
to maintain a non-partisan position on
the matter
Finding that Heydler can command
four votes, but thinking he cannot gain
another, the men who were advocating
John n. Ward for the presidency are
said to be about ready to spring on

Was Tried Before.
In December, 1901. the maenates were
deadlocked when it came to voting for
president, and though A. G. SpaIding was
dclared elected, he never was recognized
as the head Of the league. He went to
Jaw TO compel the boiling faction to con-
slider him as president and lost out.
In April, 1902. after a winter Of unrest
the magnates had their celebrated peace
poWWoW, and after Eddie Talcott had
refused TO consider the presidency and
w =. Lemple, donor Of the Temple cup,
also had begged TO be excrTsed tho cI,-b
owners, in order to have some sort OF
government put the leagues affafrs in
charge or an executive committee con-
Slstlns OF John 7. Brush, Arthur II.
5oden, and James A. Hart. Brush was
chairman.
Proved Unsatisfactory.
This committee was in control during
the season Of 1902, and its adninistra-
ton was so unsatisfactory that at the
December meeting Harry Pulliam was
elected president OF the league, a posi-
ton which he filled satisfactorily I'D to
the date OF his death. and which John
Heyoler since has held down Just as
ably, If not more so. than his predeces-
sor.
The anti-HeydIer men. Knowing they
canuot elect Ward and having no dark
horse OF John NJ. s ability 70 spring as
a compromise candidate, are said To
be willing 10 have an executive COM
mittee control the National League
again, and let Heydler remain in the
employ Of the organization in his
former position Of observation-disclosures
and TO give him a substantial increase /
in salary.
How the Dreyfuss-derrmann wing Of
the league viii take this proposition is
not known, but IL Is thought that they

ever 10 procure Heydier's reelection.

OLD YALE ATHLETE
ON GRID REFORMS
Says College Representatives Should Forget School
Sport in Revising Game-Gives Timely
Suggestions for Open Play.

NEW YORK, Dec. THAT Yale VIII,
through its representative on the inter
collegiate rules committee. take lead
ing part in the movement Cor a thor
ough revision Of the football rules, was
stated today by Julian w Curtiss. the
prominent Yale alumnus and former
rowing coach. He expressed himself in
no uncertain terms as to the vital ne
cessity of an opening of the game rath-
er than any return to old" football,
and said Il would be almost suicidal for
the rules committee not TO take full and
careful cognizance Of the prevailing de
mands for a change
ITO my mind" NE said. 1.-THE most
urgent need for the rules committee is
that its members shall go into their
meeting with every one of them thinking
almost entirely of the game itself-not
how any proposed changes might bene-
mt or inJure the prospects Of their own
college next year or at any future time
Hurts the Game.
There has been considerable of that
spirit manifested in the past-altOgether
too much for the good Of the sport. In
dividuals have attended the L lettings of
the rules committee with an eye sin
gle to the advantages that might accrue
to their alma mater rather than with
the sole intention of legislation to i'm
prove the game itself
"That is a condition which can no
longer exist with safety either TO foot
ball or its players. The time has gone
by when such a thing can, by any
stretch or the Imagination, be consider
ed legitimate. If the next meeting OF
the rules committee does not develop
the right sort Of spirit among its mem
bers-a spirit which will acknowledge
the defects OF the present game and
enact remedial legislation - then the
game win be in a bad way And I be
lieve that the present members Of the
committee are thoroughly DESTROYS Of
making all needed changes.
Tackles In Danger.
"As the game IS at present regulated.
the most dangerous position on an
eleven is at tackle The two tackles
bear the brUnt of the modern attack.
When they are on the oGfense 1t is their
duty TO work really harder than any
body else I'm the line. This imposes a
burden that is too dangerous I'm that II
is too constant. The tendency Of the
game today is to pound and smash the

! formations that rip through the line
like a knife.
Now, the secondary defense has been
pulled baCk-and properly SOTO act as
defense to the forward pass and the
onslde kick. both of them plays which
! riust be retained. II should not be dis
.urbed from its present defensive posi-
/ ton. Yet the need of protecting the line
GIVING It aid. that is, in stopping the
4 terrific battering ram plays which now
constitute the attack repertory of all
| teams-is so great that the attack itself
must be weakened.
Weaken the Attack.
TO my notion this can be best accom-
plished by a rule which provides that
whenever a play is directed through the
line between the opposing ends-that is,
a center. guard. or tackle plunge-the
m. carrying the ball shall head the
risy and no ore be permitted TO so ahead
Of him. Thus the splitting, rending eff
fects OF the present tandems will be
done away with. The defensive line will
have fair and safe chance to bring
me runner down without fear OF injury
to either tackler or tackled.
For end runs, plays directed around
the end or having five yards outside OF
tackle and Just Inside the end interior
ence should be permitted. without II
no end run could possibly be successful.
A-iu lltie is really very llLllt 4dUEtA III
these plays II is the defense which
must be strengthened against the mod
eru line attack, and that can, in my
opirion, be best accomplished by weak

Encourage Passes.

unrestricted, in order that the safest
results may be achieved. The receiver
of It should be protected In some way
against tackles. Maybe this can be
brought about by permitting no one 70
regain a forward pass until it has touch
ed or been touched by member Of the
side making the pass. The outside kick
is a splendid play; its strategy and I'm
esse are too valuable to permit the
thought Of doing away with 1t.

Perhaps IL might be wise TO Increase

Pillow cases edged with old'fash-
ioned crocheted lace are taking the
place, to some extent. OF tho hem
stitched finish. When the lace is made
OF fairly strong thread and the pattern
a substantial one the edging will out
wear the linen or. muslin cover, An
effective two.inch edging is made in
the following way. beginning with a
row OF wheels which form the center
pattern of the trimming: Take medium
size cotton thread. which comes espe-
cially for this purpose, and make
rings by winding the cotton 10 times
around large wooden knitting needle
or pencil. then crochet IS double
stitches in the ring: Join and make
three chains and crochet a treble chain
into each OF the ring double CrOchets;
then crochet six chains and catch the
sixth with a double crochet stitch into
the second treble stitch; continue this
around the ring.
This makes II chain loops around
each ring. After a sufficient number
Of wheels are made In this manner
they should be Joined together by ias-
tening the middle stitch OF each OF two
chain loops to Two adjacent loops OF
another wheel. and 50 on. This will
leave four chain loops of each wheel
attached TO other wheels and ten chain
loops loose.
Now when a yard and half or more
of the wheels are Joined together,
enough to trim the edge OF a pillow
case. fasten the thread into the fourth
loop from the end and make three
chains and Il double chain into the

thread twice over the neeGIeI into the
next, one triple chain three times
over the necdlcJ into the two chains

chain into the first chain loop on the
next wheel and one treble into the
next loop. Three chains and a double
crochet into the next loop and three
chains and a double crOCEct into the
next bring the thread TO the top
again.
This makes the top Of the edgins
almost straight. Then comes q row
OF double crochets. with TWO chains be.
tween. a row above this OF TWO treble
croche.s into the space between the
divisions OF the previous row. then
two treble crochets and miss one for
the next row and the top row is two

For the edge make two double
chains, four chains and two double
chains into the first space, then two
