Never Guesses Wrong.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. T.--with the La

Plank declares that the Cleveland second

pitch to with the idea OF outguessng him.
This is the manner in which Plank COM

side, outside, high or low, over the plate
and II Is almost impossible to pitch and
fool him. Stick one close to his belt, and
he viii crash it over the infleld, mayhap
to the fence. Drop one low, and he will
hit IL a mile. Around his shoulders, he
will do the same thing. Groove one, and Il
Is suicide.
II never try to outguess Lajoe, Tor /
admit that l have nothing with which /
can fool him. l simply take my chance,
and confess that he Is my SUPERIOR The
easiest time TO pitch to the big fellow is
when there are men on the bases. He
does not hit then as he does when the
pillows are empty.

New Rules to
Bring About
Early Practice
Secret Practice Will Mark Foot Ball
Changes, as Has Been Case
Before.

NEW YORK. Aug. gT.--There will he a
lot OF secret practice In foot ball this fall.
II was so the last time the rules were re-
vised. and there is every indication that
this time will prove no exception. The
early institution OF secret practice is often
unimportant. When new rules go into
effect many coaches start secret practice az
once so as to conceal their own ignorance
and lack Of initiative and invention until
such time as they can get line on what
other coaches are doing with the game.
Since the days Of Lorin F. Deiand nothing
Of great novelty-nothing at all startling
has been evolved in the course Of secret
practice. and as a rule the team that plays
the all around game the better is the win
ner Desperate ruses that for the most part
are never used are worked out In secret
practice now and then. but In general less
time is put In on tricks than the general
public would suppose. The principal value
OF secret practice in recent years has been
the chance Il afforded to present changed
lineup on the day of the big game-a sur
prise TO this extent to ones opponent. Yet
there has been hardly single instance in
recent years in which the news of the pro-
posed change has not leaked"
This year there win be early secret prac-
tice for another reason. 1t is barely posi-
bic that one coach may happen upon play
that to him will seem rudimentary and
fundamental under the new rules and which
he would ordinarily use regularly. II is
possible, however, that just such a play
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1910-08-28

might escape some other coach. and It's dis
coverer will rot want 20 give It away i'm
advcrtently.
II often happens that an especially good
play Is tried out IN the open by the second
team, or even by the team OF some prep
school feeder" and In this way escape
notice. some years ago Yale defeated
Princeton with play that had been worked
out unobtrusively by the freshman team,
and yet appeared to be brand new when
used by the varsity. II was the forward
pass from the fake placement kick, handled
TO perfection by Tad Jones and Ted Coy.
There was absolutely no reason why Ne
Tigers should not have been prepared Efor
this play but they were not. and Il cost
them the game
SO. as q matter OF fact, Il is perhaps a bet
ter plan 90 try out new formations with the
scrub" or third team or the freshman
than to close the gates. There is always a
leak. whereas the second team and the
freshmen may plug innoeently along, work
ing up new naneuvers for the varsity
without suspicion. OF course there would
need TO be some secret practice to famll-
iarizc the varsity with the play, but In gen
eral II may be said that the secret practice
OF the present day is largely bluff

COAST TO BE STRONG AT MEET
Idea that East Has IL Cinched
Appears a DelusiOn.

Appears a DelustOn.
NEW YORK, Aug. N-Followers of ath-
letics in the east who have so far figured
on the probabilities of the Amateur Attn
letic union national meet at New Orleans
seem to think that the main tussle for the
point championship will be between a
couple OF clubs in this locality. According
to the local critics the west and the Pa
cific coast will only exist In the light OF
filters in for the entry list, with the men
from these places partly acting as trial
horses for the wonderful boys from the
Atlantic seaboard.
In the history of American sport there
never was a greater delusion, as can be
shown by the men training in the diff
ferent quarters. To begin with the olym-
pic club has announced that 1t will send
Rose, Plaw, Edwards, Miller, Snediger,
Gerhadt and Scott, the Stanford university
pole vaulter. Were no others to come from
the coast, these men would cause trouble
in the best company and win firsts from
the best the world could produce.
The Seattle Athletic club won the point
championship of the national meet last
year, but the fact that it's athletics were
working on their own grounds accounted
for the success more than their excellence
as performers The club had every avail
able point maker on the firing line anG
therefore profited greatly by the other
teams weaknesses here and there. Still the
wearers of the blue diamond had some
first-class men, who will be seen in harness
again this year.

Magnntes Admit Good Material IL
Scarce and Scouts Hustle.
The scramble for material in the major

and promises to be even more so before
1911 comes around. Every big league team

that major league material is scarce, that
