sentiment among the fans is for a
greater Coast league.
The Boston Red Sox will train on
the Pacific Coast next spring. The
management has decided upon a west

California cities. The owners of the
Red Sox have baseball affiliations In
California which led to the selection of
the Golden Gate state as a training
place.
Football Coming Up.
We are now on the eve of a new
football season. 1t is very important to
contemplate the new rules under which
football will be played this year
Statisticians Of the gridiron contend
that football is no more dangerous than
baseball, and they point TO the fact
that the fatalities upon the diamond
during three weeks Of last April eqYaled
the record of football last autumn for
ten weeks, while for minor injuries
the record of baseball is as high as
twenty-five to one. Notwithstanding
any such comparison the rules com
mittee of football resolutely determined
to reach and eradicate the dangers of
its own game. This task the committee
has performed. instituting n reform the
most drastic which football yet has en-
couutered. In this revision the com
mittee did not work upon theory 1t
had before it precise and accurate data
as to the cause of the injuries that
marked the season Of 1909 This data
indicated as the offending features mass
play, as tackllng is separate feature
of the game and not connected or cor
related with other playing systems
The committee simply has ruled that
hereafter no player shall tackle an op-
ponent without having at the time at
least one foot upon the ground 1t
was the mass play and the forward
pass that occupied the committee for
several days-about seven, and a large
part of the intervening nights
Princeton's Remedy.
Princeton, with the University of
Chicago, proposed as remedy for
massed interferences an extension of
rule II so as to require seven men of
the offensive side to stand upon the
line of scrimmage and to prohibit play
ers of this side from aiding the man
carrying the ball or one another by
hands, arms OF body. eithor in push
ing or pulling, thus eliminating the ia
miliar spectacle of twenty years stand
ing Of player being whirled through
tho line. After prolonged debate and
osition was adopted. This radical
change means the return of that style
of game which characterized the late

NEW YORK, Aug 27.-Tho race meet
ing at Saratoga, which ended today. was
so successful that the Jockey club has
already started to make plans for next
year. when a longer meet will be held al
Saratoga. This Is important from sew
eral viewpoints, Racing comes to close
here with the first OF next month. and
there has been doubt whether the game
would he revived next year. The action
looking towards a revival of the sport
at Saratoga next year makes 1t evident
that there will be racing In the cast in
1911.
The New York state breeding bureau is
Saratoga next season. In statement
issued by The Jockey club the following
plans of the breeding bureau are set
forth:
1.-THE end OF racing for rne season in
this state on September ] will not bring
any lessening of the interest and atten-
ton In the several departments of tho
Jockey club that were organized for the
purpose Of improving the breed OF horses.
The motives In organization were SIN
cere and the work will go on as thorough
ly and as earnestly as II the turf In this
part OF the country was at the height of
It's prosperity.
'The breeding bureau OF the Jockey
club Is one of the branches of the work
that IS receiving attention. AT present
its list OF stations. located In different
parts OF the state, number forty seven.
and the lineage and individuality OF these
are OF the very best Many OF them are
stations donated for their purpose when
their services would have demanded and
brought rich returns to their former own
ers. but personal gain was passed over In
the desire to better the breeding OF the
state.
Special Premiums.
'Tn! keeping with promises made when
the bureau was organized, the Jockey
club will offer this fall spociaI premiums
OF $50 each, divided as follows: S26 to
first, Sic 10 second and $40 TO third for
the product OF stations placed by the
bureau, foals OF 1910. These premiums
will be offered through the county ngri-
cultural societies. The bureau statistics
show about 1000 foals have been record
ed.
'The latest stallion TO be placed by the
bureau Is Traveller, q son of Prince of
Melbourne. He has been assigned to the
army post at Plottsburg. Here there Is
sure TO he n big demand for his service,
for tho recent effort to encourage tho I'm

Petition for iiamp James.
Columbia State:


Petitioners for the pardon of
Hamp James. negro, serving a
life term in the penitentilry on
the charge of killiLg his father-in-
law in Marion county, in 1908,
charge the State with being re-
sponsible for the murder, in that
a dispensary was created at, Dillon
under the laws of South Carolina
and that James was crazy drunk
when he committed the act.
James was convicted at the fall
term of court in Marion county
and was found guilty of murder
and sentenced to hang. His SEN
tence was commuted to life inn
prisonment. He has served six
years and now a petition signed
by more than 100 people has been
filed with Gov. Ansel for his par
don. The negro killed was Han
dy Bethca.
The petition in part is as fol-
lows:
That your petitioners further
show that he was crazy drunk on
dispensary liquor, which he had
purchased in the town of Dillon,
where there was dispensary at
that time; that upon going home
and not finding his wife he went
to his father-in-law's home, found
his wife in the field, undertook to
have her go home with him, and
while he and his wife were in a
tussle her father interferred and he
was shot by said Hamp James;
from the wounds thus Inflicted he
died.
That your petitioners further
allege, in their opinion, that by
the State legolizing the sale of
liquor by establishing a dispen-
sary in the said town of Dillon.
thus providing the means of max
ing this otherwise peaceful citizen a
crazy demon has become a party
to the homicide and then with her
courts have punished for six years
one of her citizens for a crime to
which she contributed.
Gov. Ansel has taken the peti-
ton under consideration and will
render his decision in the near
future.
