impossible.
The baseball sessions now ending
have firmly established the American
national game in these parts and it is
rapidly becoming the chief sport of
natives as we'll as Americans. Every
American workman employed in the
digging of the big ditch has lost from
one to a dozen grandmothers during
the progress of the work.
Two well organized leagues hold
the chief attention, although num-
Der of independent teams have been
formed. The two leagues are the

fast and the rivalry intense.
Many previous college ball players
are here on the isthmus, and most of
the teams are fully equal to the best
of the college and university vafsities
in the United States. Baseball is so
American that even those who did
not care much for the sport in the
States take in the games here and
there is no lack OF support. The
prices for. admission in silver run
from the bleachers at so cents to the
box seats at 50.
The chief difficulty encountered
when baseball was first taken up on
the isthmus by the Americans was in
finding a suitable place for practice
and a place to play the game. Lots
large enough for ball diamonds were
not to be found, and when they were
the price was too high to either rent
or buy these. However, the baseball
fever grew to such n degree that
stock companies were formed and the
swamps built up into playing fields,
until now a number of the parks are
good enough for any team to measure
skill with an opponent.

RULECHANGES

BOTHER
BY Tipstcr


The intercollegiate prospects III
football next year in this state are
such as to make the season an aus
picious one and who can state where
the winning hand will rest?
To begin with, there is very lit
tie upon which to base an estimate
of the various strengths OF the teams.
The game has been almost completely
changed and the measure which
would gage them in the past will not
now suffice
The division OF the game into four
periods with three intermissions, in
stead OF two periods with one inter
mission, will aid probably as much
as any other one thing in altering
the game. This will undoubtedly
mean that the fast light team will
be the order of the day. The heavy
team, slow to get under way but ir-
resistable and unbeatable in the long
wearing game. will have lost its
chance to win. The short periods
will eliminate the chance to score on
/ stubborn, dogged, snail-like advances,
and, If any ruling would tend to make
/ an open game and a spectacular one

/ parts will turn the trick. 1t will now

OF each and every man on the team.
and will likely detract some of the
responsibility from the ends and win
I further equaliZe the Importance of
each position on the team.
The abandonment of the flying
tackle is calculated to eliminate in
| iuries; but, although it may accom-
plish this purpose, 1t is apt to make
the game a very uncertain PROPOSE
tion. The more open and daring a
teams offense the more open and
spectacular must be the defense. End
runs, trick plays. clever forward pass
es and many bewildering and excit-
ing plays will have been bred into
the game by the new changes, and.
consequently. il will be fearful task

man and tackle without leaving the
feet.
The prohibition of the flying tackle
! is weak move. in the Judgment OF
! the writer. In the mass play th'
, ground tackle is the only sold .ftr,.
and, in the dazzling trick and open
play, the defense cannot help but be
handicapped by the adjustment OF
the flying tackle.
The change in the rules means an
extra expense of tens of thousands of
dollars in the country at large. Teams
that never before established summer
and spring training camps have been
forced to do so this year in order to
take no chances by being unfamiliar
with the new style of play.
But, in spite of all this, if the
game has finally been modified so
that its doom (Which the enthusiasts
throughout the country have seen
written on the walD can have been
forestalled, the reformers have ac-
complished an undertaking which
should be awarded the undying graf
itude of every college man in the
country; for the best, the most excit-

popular game known to history will

course of his Introductory remarks to
the audience, he states that he is but
an ordinary human being, but pos

from any manacle that any member
of the audience wishes to put on him,
and that Furthermore, in most cases,
he can escape in shorter time than

been locked on him. All the secrets

Publicity Law Now Effective

Godfeld News: The last session of the Nevada Legislature
adopted a publicity or "anti-wndcat" law requiring mining CON-
panies engaged, directly or indirectly in the sale of stock to the
public to make semiannual reports of a comprehensive and far
reaching character, these reports to be filed with the Recorder OF
the county in which the company property is located, and with the
Secretary Of State. The law was s. worded as to become effective
June ], 1910, hence is now effective. The wording Of the law, shows
that companies engaged in the sale of stock for development or
other purposes must make these reports semi-annually, in June and
December, and that copies Of the reports must be mailed to stock
holders.
The publicity clauses Of the law are quite specific and compre-
hensive, and, if reasonably complied with, should give those who
contemplate the purchase of stock or those who have already pur-
chased a very good idea of the character and Importance of the con-
to bind the officers as to information concerning the mineral worth
of properties, this being a matter of more or less uncertainty In
ordinary cases. Moreover, it is not expected that a company rails
ing funds by public subscription has yet reached a self-sustalnlng
basis The information required concerns the title to claims, the
names and the number thereof, and their location; a description Of
the equipment on patented and unpatented claims; a statement Of
labor performed during the previous six months; the sales Of
treasury stock, receipts therefrom, commissions, expenditures in
in raising money and the outlay on equipment and development
The law applies not only to corporations organized under Ne
vada laws, but to foreign corporations engaged in the mining bust
ness in the State. In the case of the latter, the resident agent IS
held responsible, while ordinarily the president and secretary are
required to prepare and file the information. Failure to comply
with the law is a misdemeanor, punishable by fine or Imprisonment,
Any one who shall presume to act as agent for a delinquent company
shall be subject to similar penalties. The Attorney General of the
State may recover a fine Of $1,000 from the corporation, while the
company may not maintain or defend any action in the Nevada
courts during the delinquency. A strong provision is that which re-
quires the District Attorneys to enforce the law when complaint is
made, and requires the Attorney General to proceed against District
Attorneys failing SO to do.
