Football lawmakers, coaches and
playing officials toned down the 1910
gridiron rules to some extent at their
interpretative meeting, held the other
day in Chicago. The authorities of
the big Eight" and the Missouri Val
ley conferences translated the difficult
passages In the new statutes in q
way that will make the coming games
less on the parlor order than was ex-
pected by the more conservative Of
the western experts.
The all-day session resulted in some
what more freedom 70? the forward
pass exploiters and softening of the
effects Of the rigid laws in regard to
the flying tackle. Coach Stage of the
University Of Chicago presided at the
morning session, and Coach Williams
Of Minnesota had the chair in the
afternoon. These were the only two
western members Of the national body
present, and both contributed much
to the discussion
Important readings of the meeting
were those providing that the new
forward pass, which cannot be sent
more than twenty yards beyond the
line Of scrimmage, and that the fly
ing tackle shall not include those
plays where defensive players throw
themselves into an offensive play
without grasping the runner. Other
leading interpretations concerned
crawling with tho ball and interior
ence.
Following were the chief results of
the two sessions, as listed by the ex-
perts:

played refused for long time to think

our team usually was divided into
two factions, with Cobb on one side
and all the others on the other. I had
ideas regarding how to play the game
but none Of US ever had seen much

for ourselves.

CHESTY PLAYERS MAKE GOOD
Cobb, Latham and Kelly Among Those
of swelI-Headed Kind That
Made Good.

Ty Cobb has been reviled more than
any other player know Of, writes a
wellknown New York baseball author.

grand stand player, a numbering
base runner, and other names enough
for a stranger to the game of baseball
to think the greatest ball player who
ever lived to be dyed-in-the-wool ruff.
fan of the worst stripe.
Now, Ty is chesty, cocky and fresh,
but those are the qualities that make
the best ball players. Cobb was the
freshest kid who ever broke into big
league class, Is what every Detroit
player says who was with the Tigers
when Cobb first Joined them. But 1t
was that chestiness and nothing else
that enabled him to climb to the top
Of his profession where he stands pre-
eminently now, and there will be no
one to push him off that high pinnacle
until he himself says so.
And what Is chestiness but the feel
ing one has that one is just as good
If not better than any one else In
the line Of business one follows.
Cobb felt 1t in his youthful bones
that he was as good player as any
one on the Detroit team and made
good the feeling imbued in him that
caused the expansion of chest he is
accused of. Chestiness ia one Of the
most promising traits youngster can
show, and he does not want to lose 1t,
either, as he gets older.
Ty Cobb newer wore No. cap
I will warrant. There Is only one
player that I remember Of who ever
did and was a good ball player. and
that was Jack Glasscock.
Cobb's brain expands with his chest
and for the same reason. He knew
at the start and knows now that he
is as good as they make 'em, and,
therefore, why wouldn't he expand,
mentally and physically?
All this knocking of Cobb, too,
comes from nothing else than pure
and unadulterated jealousy. It is A
case of sour grapes every time. I

Give me those "chesty," "cocky"
youngsters every time and I will gam
BILE they will make good. There was
Arlie Latham, for instance, who when
he broke into the big league was in
danger of getting mobbed by his fell
low players Of the Buffalo club in
1880, when he turned flip flaps from
third base to the home plate after he
made the winning hit and tally in a
1 to 0 game against the Worcesters.
Fresh! Latham was the freshest kid
I ever saw, but in two years he was
a big league star and for ten years
after.
The Cobbs and Lathams made ball
players and they are Of the chesty
kind that should be encouraged.
