NEW FOOTBALL RULES
 ARE LESS STRENUOUS
Players Go Through Games With Fewer Injuries Than in Former
 Years

When it was announced that not a man had been injured in the football games of Saturday at Tucson between the Phoenix High School and the Tue son High School and the University eleven and another team, without a single man having been injured, the question was asked how it was pos sible for such strenuous contests to be pulled off without disastrous results as have been the case in former years. In this connection it is pointed out that the Football Rules for 1910, with radical and revolutionary revisions players and spectators find a new game.
 Football is essentially a game of strategy, more elastic and profound than chess, only less elastic and pro- found than the tactics of actual war. Statisticians of the gridiron contend that football is no more dangerous than baseball and they point to the fact that the fatalities upon the dia- mond during the three weeks of last April equalled the record of football last autumn for ten weeks, while for miner injuries the record of baseball is as high as twenty-five to one
 Notwithstanding any such compari- son the rules committee of football resolutely determined to reach and eradicate the dangers of its own game. This task the committee has performed, instituting a reform, the most drastic which football yet en- countered. In this revision the com- mittee did not work upon theory. It had before it precise and accurate data as to the cause of the injur- ies that marked the season of 1909. This data indicated as the offending features mass play, interlocked inter ference, flying tackles and the recov- cry of forward passes
 The dangers of the flying tackle were not difficult to remove since it was possible to remove the flying | tackle itself without any effect what | ever upon any other play, as tackling |

WIZARD OF THE CUE NEAR DEATHS DOOR
SCHAEFER A VICTIM OF THE GREAT WHITE PLAGUE WAS ONE OF GREATEST BILLIARD
 PLAYERS WORLD EVER KNEW.

Word was received yesterday that Jacob Schaefer is dying in Denver, Col, a victim of tuberculosis. His physicians have declared that he has but day or two to live at most The expert who won the sobriquet of 'Wiz- ard of the cue' has been ailing for over year and it has been known for some time that his chances of recovery were slight.
 Schaefer took naturally to the cue and at the age of fourteen was the boy wonder of the State of Kansas. Until his retirement, within the past year, Schaefer was considered one of the most expert cue manipulators in America.
 Jacob Schaefer has held every bil- Hard championship of the world known to the profession from the straight to three-cushion caroms. This fact dem onstrates the versatility of the man. Strange to say his last big match was for the 1S.1 championship. He beat Willie Hoppe for the honors in Chicago four years ago. He relinquished the title later on account of poor health.
 Slosson was always Schaefer's great rival and this pair in their time have done as much as any two in the bus mess to keep billiard interest keen. Schaefer is one whom the profession will sorely miss.

A Storm That Suitad the Painter, but

 In a gallery there hangs a large canvas in an imposing frame. The painting shows waterfall in one of the states famous for startling nat ural scenery. The picture has occupied it's present place for several years.
 "Does it belong here?" asked a vis- itOr of the man in charge.
 "No more than the others you see''
 Seems to me it should be in the capitol of the state where this scenery is." said the visitor.
 Ut was painted for the state," re- piled the man in charge, "but when it was submitted to the art committee it refused to accept it."
 What was the 0bjection?"
 "You see the sky is overcast The artist put in a gathering storm like an impending calamity. The art commit tee said it was reflection on the rep- utation of the state; that storm such as is represented was unknown in that latitude''
 Couldn't the artist put in another sky, one that accorded with the states reputation for sunshine?"
 ''I suppose he could, but he refused. He said that the rumpus kicked up by the art committee warranted the storm effect on the canvas. and he refused to budge. He sent it here, and here it remains. ."-Boston Herald.

Strenuous Life Amid Savage Animals
 In the Balkans.
 Besides some warlike men Mace donia contains an abundance of wild animals. A traveller writes: By the side of oaks and walnuts you find long, and bears and wolves abound. They are a serious drag upon indus try, and even in civilized Bulgaria it has lately been found necessary to in- crease the government rewards for killing them. 1 believe it to be true story that a party of peasants with horses was not long ago wholly de stroyed by wolves in the Mori Hovo mountains, nothing but the bits and stirrup irons being found to record them.
 ''In the same hills the peasants mi grate for the summer to lofty shoul- ders where the land is flat enough to grow little patches of maize, and here night after night, they will sit up with fire to drive off bears. There are tragic stories of women with babies in their arms beating off bears with burning brands from the fire.

cf'(.ANE TELLS HOW
 HE SEPARATED HIMSELF
 FROM NATIONAL LEAGUE

Magnate McCann, the new owner -,f the local baseball club tells a good story about how he came to get out of the National League in 1901. Gene was one of Hanlons young pitchers in Brooklyn and wasn't being worked much, though out of three appear ences on the rubber he was success full twice Billy .Shindle, manager of the Hartford team of the Eastern League, made a flying trip to Wash ington Park after Q pitcher, and brought with him a tip on a horse race. The horse was a 3to-1 shot, and ShindIe was so insistent that it would win that Hanlon drew S400 from Charley Ebbets, Tom Daily mak- ing a s1O0 touch from his manager, and Joe Kelley also hitting Foxy Ned'' for the same sum. The trio played Shindie's tip and the horse won. The next morning Shindle ap- Deared in Washington Park and ask ed for the loan of pitcher. Take any of the kids you want Hanlon told Shindle. Bill selected McCann, and that was the finish of H. Eugene as National League pitcher.

Brannigan was admittedly the clever CT boxer in several of the rounds. his lightning fotWork dazzling the local lad. Wagner's ability to deliver hard punch in the exchanges gave him the victory by a, slim margin.
 Brannigan landed repeatedly; but the force was lacking behind the blows. The little Pittsburger danced around Wagner until Wagner became dizzy in his efforts to locate the visiting box CT but when he finally did connect he shook Brannigan. Wagners most tell ing blow was his famous left shift, and Brannigan experienced much difficult

Care of Snowshoes.

Snowshoes need very little care. You don't have to wipe them dry with a chamois, for instance, the prescribed treatment for skates. When taking them off merely tar them against the wall or a tree to shake free the cling ing snow and stand them up on their heels outside. Never attempt to dry them before fire. When they are put away for the. summer select dry place where there will be no danger of mice.-Countrv Life in America.

In ev- cry round Burns had the advantage, and had the final period proceeded five seconds more, O'Leary would have been knocked out.
 In the first round Burns jared OI4eary with short swings and jabs. O'Leary connected often with the body in the second, but got the worst of it
 at close quarters. O'Leary had Burns
 wabbling from rights to the jaw. In
 the next session both wabbled from
 stiff lefts, accurately delivered, and
 just before the bell O'Leary was floor ed with a right uppercut on the chin. In the fourth O'Leary got home some telling sn1ashes to the jaw, but Burns crowded him at every turn, pounding away at the body. They swapped
 smash for smash in the fifth with
 Burns the aggressor. O'Leary was bleeding from the nose at the bell. In the eighth and ninth rounds OLeary
 fought savagely and managed to re- cover some lost ground.
 in the tenth round, the best of the fight, Burns punched away unmerci- fully. He had O'Leary hustling to
 protect himself. A fierce uppercut on
 the chin had O'Leary staggering
 against the ropes, and just as Burns
 was about to finish him the gong
