NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-None of the
baseball players with whom 1 have
talked about the proposed scheme to
DO away with shoe spikes thinks any
thing worth mentioning of that plan.
They take the unqualified view, l find
mat spikes are an absolute necessi-
~ and they even glover upon the
Proposition that the spikes should be
decreased in size. They take it that
injuries from spikes and from other
causes are part of the game of ball
ana they claim that the speed of the
game would be hopelessly impaired If
spikes were taken away. Some of the
oeSt men | have talked with-Hal
'NaSe for eXample-claim that they
wouldn't be able to run bases at all
without spikes.

was. in the infield and Manager
Blankenship figures that he has
plugged the biggest hole in getting
Rockenfield Ike will play second base
for the Tigers next year. while Cole
man will be shifted to third base, his
original position.
Ike Had Good Season.
Rockenfield was among the leading
innelders in the southern league last
season, and also one of the strong bat
ters He finished the season with
fielding average of 1858 and batted for
an average of 1858. Kippert batted .264
in this league and was fourth among
the outfielders with a percentage of
973 While Kippert had the higher
fielding average. a good outfielder
should always rank above a good in
fielder in the fielding column.
Before he made the trade Manager
Blankenship assured himself that
Rockenfield has been behaving the
past season. To much "suds" prevent
ed Rockenfield from going to the big
leagues several years ago. Last year
Ike attached himself to the water
wagon and as far as Blankenship can
learn he has been riding there ever
since.
While Kippert is popular with the
Tacoma fans on account of his agrees
sive playing, the trade looks like
good one All last season the many
managers of the Tacoma team tried
to get an infield that could put up
some kind of defense Many a game
was frittered away because the in
fielders fell down in the pinches. If
Rockenfield plays the game the Ia
coma fans know he is capable of, sec
ond base will be well taken care Of
next season.
Il did not like to part with Kip
pert. but as we have too many out
fielders now and are badly in need
of infielders l did not hesitate TO
make the exchange and L am convinc-
ed the team will be strengthened by
it," said Manager Blankenship last
night. For infielders we now have

ing to advice that is more or less ludi-
crous to men closely in touch with
athletics
The rugby game has been tried out
in New York in the presence of prob
ably the most representative group of
American football experts that could
possibly be gathered together, and the
cOncenSus seems to be, as represented
by the opinions of those most promi-
nent in the football world, that the
rugby game is a good game but can
not supplant in it's entirety the old
bruising, battering, smashing conflict
so dear to the hearts of the undergrad
yates and those who as participants or
observers have learned to love the
American game.
Thousands of opinions have been eX-
pressed. College presidents have come
out publicly in statements favoring or
denouncing the game of football as it
is played today. There is even a diff
ference of opinion among our own
northwest college executives.
Even authors and poets are called
upon for their opinion. Kipling is
quoted as having said brutality new
err destroyed a nation, but effeminacy is
destructive to national life
Jeffres' Good Opinion.
We even get a suggestion or two
from those gladiators who earn their
living and express their virility in the
squared ring and some of their sug-
gestions are not to be scoffed at. One
suggestion made by James J. Jeffries
is worthy of attention and considera
ton. He says that when a prize fight
err is knocked down and is unable to
get to his feet inside of 10 seconds he
loses the fight, and if the same rule
were applied regarding the individual
in a football contest, many of the ser
ious injuries would be avoided. His
suggestion is that when a man is dis
abled in a football game for a certain
period agreed upon that man be COM
PEELED to leave the game and sub
stitute allowed to take his place. He
would also give one of the officials
the privilege of removing a man from
the game who seemed unfit physically
to continue playing.
There is a good deal of adverse
opinion expressed when tEe sugges-
ton is made that rugby football be
substituted and it is usually true that
80 out of every 100 opponents of the
rugby game have never seen it.
Can't Scoff at Rugby.
We cannot scott at a game sneeringly
and class it as unfit and lacking in
the essential qualities to serve as an
appeal to young American manhood
without some experience as a partici-
pant or as an observer
There is one fact, however, that is
rather an emphatic Endorsement of the
rl1pby game IF If iS trl1e reDOrta0
