FOOTBALL RULES
VERY UNCERTAIN
PLAYERS MUST DEPEND UPON
INTERPRETATION GIVEN NEW
RULES BY THE OFFICIALS
! THIS FALL

This season football players will
be under a handicap on account of
the uncertainty of how different Of
hcials will interpret the new rules.
They will not know just how far they
can go with certain plays until the
officials get together on the PROPOSE
ton In some way, or until the rule
makers get through tampering with
the gridiron laws.
The rulemakers have made few real
great changes this year. but have
made quite a number of minor altera-
lions that will figure prominently.
Different officials will interpret the
new rules in different ways. The un-
Outstanding of one man will be ex-
actly opposite I'm many cases, to the
understanding of another man.
Case and Reserve. for instance, will
come i'm contact with n lot of differ
ent officials during the coming sea-
son. Under some these they will
be able to get away with certain plays
that will be prohibited by others.
AS a consequence, the players will
never know, until late in each game,
just "where they are at" Until the
captain of a team is able to get a
line on the officials in each game. his
work with plays governed by the new
rules will be largely experimental
Plays that are ground gamers with
certain officials working are liable TO
result in penalties under other field
bosses.
Each official will be compelled TO
work under a heavy handicap. Each
man in charge of a game will be call.
ed upon to judge quickly the legality
OF play upon which the team has
worked for weeks. The players will
have time to experiment with the new
rules. while the official Will be COM
PEELED to judge almost in a twink
ling of an eye, If the play was legal
or Illegal. or IL some trick has been
used 10 cover up a violation.
Arguments over technicalities are
bound to be frequent, and officials
who spring brand new interpretations
OF the new rules will have the play
ers (" up In the air"
An example of this occurred last
season In the big game between Re-
serve and Case. Reserves failed TO win
because of an officials Interpretation
OF n technical point Reserve had
used the quadruple pass all season
and with much success. When the
pass was tried against Case i'm the

illegal and called the ball back.

HOW Ed HANLON GOT HIS
START IN Big LEAGUES

Eddie Hanlon, who has retired from
active participancy i'm baseball, al
though he owns the baseball park in
Baltimore on which the Baltimores of
the Eastern league now play. was
quoted as the shrewdest maker of
deals in the basebam business when
IT came down to trading players The
trade whereby he secured Willie Kee-
Ter for the famous three time cham
pion orioles" of Baltimore for Dan
Brouthers, who was then going
back" was perhaps the best trade
Eddie" ever made, but he worked so
many other good ones that other
managers became afraid OF him when
he proposed negotiations.
Ned Hanlon, as he is now called
his advancing years having made
Eddie" appear almost too juvenile,
except to his oldest intimate friends
retres with wealth. honors and the
respect of everyone with whom ne
was ever connected No ball player
ever had a more successful and hon
orable professional baseball career
than Hanlon. He made the national
game his life business and study and
is now reaplng a well-earned reward
in Baltimore, the city he has made his
home.
His first professional engagement
was with the Providence. r., /. club.
then of the New England league, in
1875. He started in as a pitcher, but
was knocked out of the box by the
Fail Rivers i'm the first inning and
never essayed pitching again. He
was put on third base after that and
made good from the start He was
always a fine batter and base runner
and hit like a house a1re. Later he
became an outfielder and in that posi-
ton with the Detroit club and as cap
tain of the team he established his
first reputation as a player.
When he first Joined the Providence
club there came on n rainy day and he
was told by the Pitcher Critchley.
Big Critch," To go out and buy him
self a rubber coat, rubber boots. rub
Der gloves and rubber cap, for no |
matter how hard it rained or how wet |
and muddy the field, professional |

conscientiously did as he was told |
and appeared on the field I'm the new
regalia. He was kept out i'm the |
pouring rain an hour or so fielding |
batted balls before he was put wise"
that II was n josh.
He laughed that little giggling
splutter of his and said:
WAL by gosh, can go fishing for
bullheads up in Taftville with the
rubber uniform all right. be jee"
Mention rubber uniform 10 Eddie"
today and he will explode with laugh
Ter and say:
well, ! got even with big Critch''
or that joke for I made three home
'uns off him the next year in one
yame. and we were I'm different clubs"
And Eddie" did. too.
