New York, April 25.-(Special.)-- The new rules governing football are giving plenty of trouble to coaches and players at spring practice. The Yale men are finding it difficult to adapt themselves to the regulations which of arms in interference. At Pennsyl- yania the coaches declare that the new rules are particularly difficult for a team which has been using the Red and Blue style of play.
 pr, Carl Williams, Pennsylvania $ representative on the football rules committee, talked to the squad at a recent football smoker. In speaking of the changes in the rules he said that Pennsylvania's defensive football would be entirely upset and that her style of attack would be weakened by the new regulations One of the favor ite forma tions of the Red and Blue attack was to pull the guards back, and the rule which forces the man running with the ball to hit the line un- aided is a severe blow to the old style. He also said that Walter Camps sug- gestion which prohibits the ends from playing outside the opposing player on the defense will change the type of players. According to MT. Williams. the end will no longer be the chiei factor in breaking up a play, but the

YALE STUDENTS MAY BE BROUGHT
 BEFORE FACULTY

New Haven, Conn, April 25.-(Special.)- J. Director Russell H. Chittenden of the Sheffield Scientific school continued to- day his investigation of the student prize fight held at Ryan's grove late Friday night. He said:
 q have not had time to fully investi- gate the affair, but I will take some ac- tion against the participants and the promoters. Whether this will result in ex- pulsion or not I cannot say now"
 The students involved are the most prominent in Sheffield school. The fight was got up principally because of bad blood between William H. Keefe of Derby and Saul Cohen of this city, which be- gan in a dispute at the metallurgical lab oratory, and resulted in a knockout. Then other students were procured to box the preliminary bouts. Edward Guggenheim of the mining family Id Robert J. Bad ham of Birmingham, Ala, boxed three rounds and Percy Kincaid of Manila, P. l., and Sidney w. Greenberg of Hartford went three more.
 The big bout was to have lasted Is rounds. but was stopped In the tenth by Referee Hickey because Keefe was played out
 The students so far examined make no effort to conceal the fact that there was a boxing contest but maintain that 1t was friendly bout which was conducted under the supervision of the.r boxing in- structor. This position is maintained es- pecially by Badham and Guggenheim, who strongly maintain theirs was not a grudge battle.
 Director Chittenden will probably not overlook the knockout" event. and those interested will probably come in for dras. tic treatment

THE NEW LEAGUE RECORD

entirely reasonable presume that the Barons will capture one of the games. And 1t is not improbable that they will take them both.
 When Atlanta cuts a man like Billy Bartley adrift it is pretty reasonable to suppose that Atlanta is endeavoring to enforce the salary limit.
 And when the seven other teams let him get out of the league it's pretty safe bet that the entire outfit is doing likewise.
 This is as it should be, and unless some foxy guy discovers a subterfuge the league will profit. The new salary limit means closer races and better sport Manager Molesworth has very versa tile bunch of ball tossers.
 Pitchers Manuel Bauer and Robinson can play an outfield position in very fine style Third Baseman Emory has played in the gardens, too
 Pitcher Wagner Is utility shortstop and a good one. McGilvray can play first acceptably, and First Baseman Gygli is all right either in the field or at the keystone. And Manuel, Bauer and Wag- ner are good hitters, too.
 From the above 1t would appear that it will be hard luck, indeed which puts the Barons on the bum. But you never can tell, and we are going through this season without a single prophecy.

There were no games in the Southern league yesterday.
 Foolish question No. 432. .5s4 Why?
 In Montgomery. Mobile and Memphis the weather was too cold. while in Nash vile freezing drizzle prevented.
 The elements. for the first time in the history of the league, caused a postpone ment of each scheduled game.
 Such conditions never prevailed before, and if you withstand the wear and tear Of this terrestrial existence thousand years and more, such conditions will never prevail again.
 It is the more remarkable because of the fact that while the weather was freezing in Mobile, in New York a game was played. In St. Louis a game was played. It was not tco cold to play in Cleveland, nor Boston, nor Washington. nor even old Philadelphia.
 The weather played a scurvy trick on the sunny south, indeed.
 Doubleheaders will probably prevail to- day.
 Birmingham and Montgomery will fy n. the throats of each other in two en- agreements Johnny Lower will no doubt appear in the first and Fleharty in the second. Molly and Guese will probably be the offering of the Montgomery man agement

CAPTAIN DAILY
 ON NEW RULES

New Haven, Conn, April 25.-In his first public statement on the new football rules, Captain Frederick J. Daly of the Yale team says that the fundamental principles of the game have been under mined. and that he looks for sensational work next season, with the fast, light team outclassing the men of weight. He says:
 After going through a week of scrim- mage, with a combination of the new rules, most striking change was brought about when these two sets of rules were put into the balance The new set, in contrast to the old, clearly demonstrates the fact that open play will be in evi- dence next fall more than at any previ- ous time, and that premium will be placed on speed rather than on weight Few if any plays could gain through the line, owing to the close formation, as sug- gested by the new rules, and also be- cause the runner must go unaided.
 Tt Is a most difficult proposition to satisfy the harsh critics of the old game, and it will be still harder one to satisfy the players under the new game, for the very basic principles, which have been drilled into the players, are now shat tered leaving only a framework of what the old game has been. The ques- tion of team work will not go ahead of the individual star any longer. Best re- suits will come about through strategy and trick formations, with the ball at all times in sight; whereas the old style made the team act as a unit. concealing the ball as much as possible.
 Kicking of all sorts will be more con spicuous under the new rules. This de- partment of the game has not been. used to the best advantage, but it promises to be a great factor next year. With this department well developed, as 1t can be, and with plenty of open field running, the game should be most spectacular"

LITTLE BASEBALL

The Yankees got Wotler from the Bos- ton Americans for $500, and Stallings says that ten times that sum would not buy him now.
 During the American association game at Columbus Thursday, Umpire Bierhar- ter was presented with a Plymouth Rock hen in a cage.
 The Reds lose more baseballs than any team in the National league The eight hines in the old circuit make away with 20,oC0 during the season.
 Stallings is reported to have turned down an offer of 5000 for Infielder Frank Laporte. Jack Dunn of the Orioles made the bid, it Is said.
 At meeting of clergymen in Milwau- kee one preacher took occasion to remark that Milwaukee did not deserve to win a pennant if 1t docs not turn out bigger crowds.

 "Play hard, play fair, play clean, play to win," is Johnny Evers advice. Stu diously avoid injuring an opponent Study the box scores next day, play the game ever in your head many times, and try to improve yourself" he adds. 
 Boston is represented this season by two of the youngest teams that ever played together in major league base ball The Doves. with one or two ex- ceptions. are well under 25 years old, while the majority of the Redsox are young fellows.
 Inspired by the success of Johnny Kling in Keeping his name before the public, Mike Donlin is now about to start the same stunt. He has applied to the com
 mission for reinstatement and has asked permission to work out with a Chicago ,emi-pro team to see whether or not he ,an come back. If so, he expects to re- turn to the Giants.
