INTERCITY BILLIARDS.
Experts With Ivories From Wash.
ington and Baltimore to Meet.

BALTIMORE, Md, December 30-Final
arrangements for the annual intercity bill
lard match to be played by the amateurs
of Washington and Baltimore have been
made at a conference between Frank
Sherman of Washington and John Klein
Of this city. Several radical changes
have been decided upon. and the match
will be on altogether different lines from
those of last year.
The 1909 match was decided by the
total number of points scored In the
whole tourney. The coming match will
be decided by the total number of games
won. Each city. as heretofore, will have
a four-man team, but instead of playing
sixteen games the men will meet in four
games each. Also, instead of playing
Hotpoint games. the contests will be at
200 points. The balk line will be in order.
as previously, but 1872 will be substituted
for 14.2.
The contests will take place at Sher-
mans, i'm Washington. and at klein's, in
Baltimore, the second and fourth Tues
days of February and March.
To insure the selection of the best men
for the teams representing the two cities,
Johnnie" Klein will take the four men
standing highest in the coming state
championship tournament, while Sherman
will pick his men from group who will
participate I'm a match to be held in
Washington within the next three weeks.
In the intercity games the winner of the
Maryland state championship will play
the Washington man who heads the play
ers in the pending match there. The sec
ond man in the Maryland tourney will
play 20 > of the Washington men, and
SO on.

TALK ABOUT FOOT BALL.
Coach Sanford Takes a Shot at
Man on Rules Committee.

NEW YORK. December 30.-There ap-
pears to be general impression scattered
broadcast that the Intercollegiate Ath-
letc Association of the United States
made more or less of a failure in the
meeting which was thought by many
to be devised for the chief purpose of re-
vising the foot ball code forthwith.
Because nothing more than a general
resolution was offered for the considera-
ton of the joint rules committee, there
has been more or less disappointment
among the lovers of the autumn game.
What was done was all that could be
done, according to the constitution of the
association.
The real surgical work on the code will
come the second week In January, when
the men who have the power to change
the rules will meet at the Murray Hill
Hotel. Then the many suggestions gath
cred by the Intercollegiate Athletic AS
ISOLATION of the United States will re-
ceive the careful attention of the rules
makers.
During the late night session. Tuesday
some of the practical foot ball men were
given a chance to air their knowledge
after the tornado of theoretical foot ball
that had swept through the hotel had
died out.
George Foster Sanford. recognized as
one Of the best coaches In the country.
gave a talk on foot ball that made the
ears of some of the erudite professors
warm.
Many of Sandford's remarks were aimed
at certain professor on the rules COM
mittee. This man, he said, was the sort
that made reputation as an athlete by
running 100 yards in fifteen seconds or SO
at some little jerkwater college or by
carrying the sweater of a substitute on
the foot ball train. On his reputation.
according to Sanford, the faculty let
him look out for sports and by much dill
igent study of the rule books he had be-
come quite an authority in the eyes OF
the professors at his college. Naturally
he was selected to represent his cOnege
on the rules committee.
James Naismith of Kansas University,
the inventor of basket ball, declared that
the American collegians ought to play
rugby or return to the old rules.
Capt Nesbitt of West Point said he
though that foot ball at present was not
a game for the average man, but for the
giant; that it was not an amateur sport,
as there was too much hard work in 1t;
that it was for the public and not for
the player. He voiced sentiments that
have been expressed by many officials.
who have said that they have noticed that
the players take no real enjoyment out OF
foot ball. but are praying for the whistle
to blow after the first few minutes.

HAS PLANNED FOUR FIGHTS.
Battling Nelson Will Be Busy Man
in the Next Two Months.

NEW YORK, December :0-Battling
Nelson's latest statement is to the effect
that he has agreed to take part in four
glove contests in the next two months
that will net nearly $4,000. lie says lie
has accepted an offer of a $4,000 guaran-
tee to fight forty-five rounds with Al
Wolgast before Promoter Sid Testers
club in San Francisco in February; that
he has agreed to take $500 for ten
round bout with Dick Hyland in Kansas
City at time yet to be named. and that
he will box "unknowns'' at Saginaw on
January and at Madison, Wis, on
January s.
Nelson fails to state how Hester can
pull off a forty-five-round bout in Frisco
when a city ordinance forbids more than
twenty rounds there. In view of the fact
that Hester made a newspaper offer of
S75 900 for the Jeffries-J johnson fight and
then failed to put in a bid with d $1,000
forfeit it is believed here that Nelson
is bluffing for the purpose of forcing Pro-
moter McCarey of Los Angeles to come
through with $4,000 guarantee for the
proposed bout with Wolgast.
Meanwhile. Nelson is paying no atten-
ton to Owen Moran, the English pugilist,
who has just challenged him to fight for
the lightweight championship of the
world and is also ignoring the various
propositions made to him by Freddie
Welsh. To a man up a tree it looks
very much as If Nelson has made up his
mind to take no chances with his precious
title, and will soon be forced to retire.

Frank Norcum. the Indian. who is to
manage the Augusta team in the South

The league was composed of Winches-
ter, Woodstock, Front Royal. Strasburg
and Edinburg. and two games were
played a week by each Of the teams.
Among Norcums team associates were
Joe Laughlin, now with. Danville; Jake
Atz of the Chicago White Sox and Wal
lace Warren, the Washington player.
Norcum, when he played in Woodstock,
possessed as much ginger as is found in
three or four average players, and he
was very popular.
Before going to Virginia Mig" was
one of the stars of the local Shamrocks

low. 1t was an exceptionally strong
team. and for two years held the cham
pionship of the District.
