Any time, a teams pitcher is being hit 1t
makes 1t look weak even though it be
strong in every other department.
The Cubs in the recent worlds series
looked like lot of amateurs compared
to the Athletics simply because they did
not have a pitcher who could show any
class. -.
It does seem, therefore. that McAleer
can help his team more by bolstering up
his pitching department than by adding
a single outfielder .of class. But, of
course. II both the pitching staff and the
outfieid could be strengthened BY single
move 1t would prove a ten-strike beyond
question.
Fielding averages prove but little. Look
over the list and In nearly every depart
ment you will find some mediocre player
leading a real star by many points. ing
laub for instance makes Hal Chase look
like truck horse in the averages. and
according to the figures Gessler is a bet
ter. fielder than Clyde Milan. OF course
he isn't. but the averages would lead one
to believe that he was. 1t is not diff
ficult matter to build up a good fielding
average. Players who take long chances
and save many games are those who
make the most errors. That naturally
stands to reason.
AS a thrower Ty Cobb is supposed to
show hin, to have made but eighteen as
s;sts durinf; the past season. Milan. on the

In selecting George Mcbride to captain

players on the field. There is no ques-
ton about McBride's ability. both as q
ball player and strategist. He is level
headed. gentlemanly and popular with his
teammates and there is little about the
game that he Is not familiar with. What
is more, Mcbride is aggressive, always
in the game. and in the three years he
has played here he has missed but two or
three games.

FOOT BALL. IN ITS INFANCY
By Edward H. (Ted) Coy.
pecial Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SAVANNAH. Ca, December 81. has
been requested that write my views on
the possible changes in the foot ball rules
for next autumn. Such Is an extremely
difficult proposition. The rules this fall
have been for the most Part satisfactory
to all, and it is my belief that they should
be kept as nearly like they stand today
as possible. No set Of rules, however
good. can be proven In q seasons work:
therefore, let them receive a more thor
ough test. Foot ball Of today Is practi-
cally in its infancy. The rules which
went into effect this September were SO
radically different from those governing
past years that no team dared experiment
with them. Coaches and players agreed
that they would feel much safer could
they adhere to old foot ball almost en-
tirely. There were many points which to
the veteran foot ball player were second
nature which this years new rules Pro-
hibited, such as helping the runner with
the ball, and II was sufficiently hard to
unlearn these fundamentals without at
tempting to adopt an entirely new game
possibilities which exist for the game OF
foot ball. After this season. which Is
nearly over, teams will prepare new tao
tics with more confidence, and 1t remains
to be seen what Will be developed next
fall.
Wants Little Change. :
On this account would not advise any
great change, although I have several
ideas that ultimately might be put into
the form of rules without in the least
harming the present great game and
possibly adding to its safety and great
ness. The changes which occurred last
spring and which were made into rules
do away with serious injuries and fatal
accidents. Any sport which endangers
human life should not be tolerated. ]
feel that in some cases the committee
acted too radically and took too many
precautions, but it is far better to err
in this way than to be too careless. Al
any rate the committee deserves great
praise, for whatever accidents have &C.
CURED have been only slight ones, and
If any serious accidents have come care
full investigation will prove the foot ball
rules were not the cause.
There Is but one new rule that l would
suggest, and that is the abolition Of the
kickoff. My suggestion is based wholly
on possible chance for serious injury In
such q play. Whenever a kickoff taxes
place and we see twenty-five men scat
tered about the field. running at top
the man is downed and another play is
started? 1t was in Just this play that
Selby of Yale was injured q year ago
against Harvard. He and another player
col ided with terrific force and in col
lisions of that sort some one is bound to
be hurt / would suggest to avoid the
possibility of such q thing in the future
that the ball be put into play on the
S5-yard line in the territory OF the Of
fensive team.

den change at the start. 1t has since

affected the dash and ginger shown In

The pitchers seem to suffer more than
any OF the other athletes. The twirlers

six OF seven innings, but invariably
weaken toward the finish. The Cubans
have never failed to take advantage OF
the faltering twirlers and have batted

COON CALLS BLUFF
Terror Of Evanston Meets His
Match in Battle With
His Great Rival.
CANINE ON RETIRED LIST

Chicago, Ill, May 19.-Crib. a bull
terrier. owned by Charles Ayres. an
architect OF Evanston. and the canine
scourge OF the neighborhood. is in
mourning and all because of a raccoon
that Is supposed to have come from the
sylvan solitudes around Gross Point
and wandered into the university town
early one morning.
Crib is some fighter" according to
Evanston chronicles. All the other
dogs in the neighborhood curl their
tails between their legs and silently
stink into the nearest place of refuge
when he strolls majestically down the
sidewalk. And as for cats-he eats
'em alive.
With the courage born Of many vic
tories and no defeats Crib was prowl-
ing about the Ayers homestead about
2 o'clock in the morning. Suddenly
around the corner of the back fence,
there crept across patch of moonlight
a stocky figure, with bushy, upraised
tail.
wild yelp of delight shattered the
classic silence of Evanston, and Crib,
the champion, hurled himself upon the
presumptuous intruder. In a moment
the air resounded with other yelps, but
alas for Crib-not yelps of victory.
Mr.. Ayers was dreaming peacefully
when the sounds of fierce combat
smote upon his ears. With nothing on
but his pajamas, he dashed down the
stairs and into the yard, where he be-
held the visiting combatant rapidly re-
ducing the hitherto unlacerated hide of
Crib, the terror OF itinerant felines, to
the proverbial shreds.
An empty cracker box happened to
be standing on the porch, and Mr..
Ayres grabbed it and placed it firmly
over Mr.. Crib and then planted himself
upon 1t and added his voice to the la
mentations of Crib.
The coon now is on exhibition In a
hastily constructed cage on the Ayres
back porch. but the valiant Crib will
not be on exhibition for another week
or more.
When interviewed he said in canine
language that he was glad to be alive
