O'BRIEN TAXES A BAD BEATING
Kaufman Outclasses phian-Jack Nearly all In-Roughhouse Basketball Won by U. of P.-Yale Five Defeats Princeton-Other Sports.

Philadelphia, Jan. 19.-A Kaufman of San Francisco earned the decision over Jack O'Brien of this city III SIX round bout before the National Ath- eralship saved him from a terrible beating and possibly knockout
 Both Bleeding at the Finish.
 At the close of the fight both men were bleeding from nose and mouth and O'Brien had badly swollen eye, but Kaufman was in far better cond1- tion than the Philadelphian when the ous delay before the bout started be- cause Kaufman insisted on the gloves being weighed. Scales were finally brought into the ring and the mits were found to be the correct weight. After this hitch the men were soon in action. O'Brien defeated Kaufman in San Francisco about five years ago and the Californian vas a trifie too O'Brien's feat
 When the bell rang for the opening round the men rushed to a clinch and in the breakaway O'Brien sent two rushed his opponent around the ring. but O'Brien would stop suddenly and send hard right or left to the face.

About the middle of this round Kaufman drove wicked right to the wind and hooked a vicious left to the drOnnQ6 and when he arose he rushed to a clinch. His clever footwork saved him.

GRAPPLE IN PRIVATE. Zbyszko and Mahmout Will Meet to
 Decide Supremacy.

Yussiff Mahmout, the Turk, and Stan islaw Zbyszllo CyganeiWicz, the Polish champion, are matched to wrestle a handicap bout in private on January 30 for $500 a side. According to the arti- cIes of agreement, Mahmout is to throw Zbyszko twice in one hour of actual wrestling or lose the match. If the Pole gains a~fall he shall be declared the winner. The place is to be selected by E. w. Smith who will act as referee. He will also name the official time keeprs and arrange other details of the match.
 This will be the first time since Fred BeelI and Tom Jenkins grappled in New York city in 1902 that two professional wrstIers have met in private to settle supremacy. In that bout Jenkins was the winner in straight falls.
 Both principals and managers could make a great deal more money by wrestling in public and this match was the peculiar outcome of a public chal- lenge made by Antoine Fierri, Nah mout's manager, at the Coliseum last Monday night. when the Turks man ager crawled into the ring and offered to bet S1,000 that Nahmout could throw the Pole twice in one hour. Jack Her man, acting for Zbyszl1o, accepted the challenge on the condition that the match be held in private.

SPIKES SHOULD BE puLLEp.
Cobb Suggests That Empires Fine the
 Players Who Refuse to Do So.

TyTus Cobb, leading batsman and base runner of the American league, is an advocate of the present day spike used on the shoes of the baseball play CTS. His influence with the commit tee appointed to consider the advisa- bility of doing away with the shoe fix ture of the base runner had much to do with their decision, when it was agreed at a meeting in Chicago to postpone it's dismissal for another year. The native of Georgia and the idol of the Detroit fans suggested, however, that the players dull their spikes before they wear them, and in that way lessen the danger of injuring others
 In a letter written to Ban Johnson, president of the American league, Cobb suggests that the umpires be given au- thority to fine a player unless he dulls his spikes before going into a game. The umpire could easily see that each player had dulled the edges of his spikes, he says, while the men were sitting on the bench before the game, waiting for the opposing team to prac- tice. New shoes are the only danger ous ones, says Cobb, for the spikes are razorlike when put on. After wearing them for short time the keen edge is duIled and there is little danger.

that rule be worked out by which a player would not be allowed to leave a game once it is started unless re- moved by the umpire or forced to quit on account of injury Armours plan is aimed at the pitchers, who, he be- 1T they knew when they began a game that they would have to stick on the slab until hostilities ceased.
 Knowledge of the proper moment to take out pitcher or when to leave him in has caused more controversies and has worked up more fans more than any other feature of the game. Young twirlers galore have lost confidence be- cause they were pulled out after two or three hits were made off their stun, and their futures were wrecked.
 Such a rule would enable a manager to quickly tell how strong pitcher re- ally was,' says President Armour, whereas now a manager will hold a pitcher who shows something for a few innings, all season. hoping that he will eventually develop into the right sort of man.
 sIt might be said that manager could practice this system right now, but what man would have the temerity to ignore the fans horrifying cry of take him out 9
 Armour's plan would result in the wedding out of the poor material and the survival of the fingers who could hurl nine innings or more without weakening.
 The plan would hardly be popular with the fans if 1t resulted in being compelled to sit through seven or change of twirlers might add some in terest to the game by enabling the team whose pitcher wasn't right that day, to win.

POWERS LED JOCKEYS.
Had 173 Winners on the Different
 Tracks in 1909.

An accurate summary of the work odne by jockeys on the American and Canadian tracks in 1909, as compiled by Chicago Racing Form, shows that V. Powers leads, as in 1908, with IFS winners, 121 seconds and IA thirds in in 1908, but he was under suspension for several months last year after his trouble with the stewards at Saratoga. The record of winning mounts for 12 months in the racing year is 3S8, rid den by Walter Miller in 1906. The fol- lowing year Miller rode 334 wonners and then gradually lost h.s grip.
 Second to Powers in the list for 1909 stands G. Archibald, a jockey whose riding has ben confined to the Pacific slope and who is considered by many good judges who have had the OppOr- tunity of observing his work to be a rider of rare skill and ability. James ButWel who is third, achieved prom thence for the first time in riding ca- reer extending over many years.
 Eddie Taplin, who finished in fonrth place, was the lightweight find of the year. When racing began in California in the fall of 1908 Taplin was a novice apprentice, but his latent ability was speedily developed by the useful and consistent racers in the stable of his contract employer, H. G. Bedwell.
 c. H. Schilling, who is justly regard ed as one of the foremost of American jockeys, was seen in the saddle but lit tie during the year, in consequence of differences with his contract employer, and although the leader in percentage, roEe only enough winners to permit of his rn'shing in 18th position. NJ. Ale Gee, J. Reid, J. Howard. F. Dugan, G. Burns, Pickens and J. Davenport are others who figure prominently in the 1909 list.

BASEBALL RULE CHANGES.
Not Likely to Be Mulch Radical Action by Joint Rules Committee-Some Suuuestions

The national game of baseball will be examined for minute flaws next Monday at Pittsburg, where the joint rules committee of the National and American leagues is scheduled to meet. Although the playing rules will be dis cussed there is little chance of radical changes being made. However, the real business to be done by the members or that body is said to be the. simplifying of several rules which baseball players claim are puzzling just at present Sug- gestions will be made so that the rules in question will be made brief and di- rect.
 While this will probably be the par ticular point in question which the baseball men will confer upon, other suggestions will be in order toward bettering the game. The question of increased batting will also be agitated. Suggestions have been made that the leagues hould use larger bats. One suggestion has 1t that the game would be more interesting if a pitcher was not allowed to bat, another player bat ting in his stead.
 The average pitcher is a poor batter and were a good man to take his place at this department of the game many a game would be more interesting. Edward Hanlon, the former Baltimore owner, would have the home plate made smaller and Fred Lake of the Boston Nationals says that the number of balls allowed a pitcher should be re- duced from four to three: He is also in favor of @ rule compelling catchers to wear shin guards.
 The suggestions, besides those all ready mentioned. are numerous. Pres ident Ban B. Johnson If the American league is reported ; be in favor of a rule that will tene co shorten the game. It is a rule preventing a pitcher warm ing up at the beginning of each inning Johnson declares that much time is lost by this so-calIed warm up, and were it abolished it would make play more active. He says fans want &C., ton and adds that it should be given them. The spike question will also be talked over. However, the American league will not be affected by any rul- ing the committee makes in this re- spect. as President Johnson and his leaguemates have declared they will retain the present regulation spike un- til a suitable substitute may be had. The spike now used by the major league men has caused much injury to players lately and recently there has been talk of abolishing it. However, it is not thought likely that the senior league will act.
