in travelling through Canada. When
the itinerary of the trip was made up
by the railroad people, it called for

President Taft has acceded to the re-
quest of the railroad presidents for con-
ference at the White House tomorrow,
and there will be half dozen OF the best
known railroad men in the country at
the executive mansion early In the morn
ing.
They will come prepared. It is said, to
show that the administration, in begin
ming suit against the western trunk
line committee for alleged violation OF
the Sherman antitrust law is entering
upon the most dangerous step taken in
the railroad matters in years. They will
ask the President to point out to them
the steps they can take to meet the grow
ing expenses occasioned by increased SAL
aries and constant necessity for improve
ment and enlargement. The conference
between the railroad presidents and the
President was requested by President Rip
ley of the Santa Fe road
Up to the President.
Attorney General Wickersham declined
yesterday to make any statement connect
ed with the attitude of the administration
toward the increase of freight rates by
the railroads. The Attorney General re-
CARDS it as the duty OF the President to
make any statement, IL one IL considered
advisable. 1t is not believed by the chief
law officer Of the government that there
will be any statement until after tile
President has conferred with the rail-
road presidents and gone over the heavy
correspondence that awaits him.
Mr.. Wickersham said that he does not
believe the railroads have Cancelled any
important orders for material and sup
plies as q result of the action of the ad-
ministration in applying for the injunc-
ton. He knows of several railroads that
have not done so.
Administration Endorsed.
Mr.. Wickersham has received a copy OF
the resolution adopted by the Illinois
Manufacturers Association UNFOLDING the
administration in its course and calling
upon the people to stand by President
Taft and his legal department.
The Attorney General has 50 far re-
ceiyed no complaints to the proposed
increase of freight rates by eastern roads.
| He takes it for granted that shippers are
| not familiar with these rates vet, and
when they are they will file complaints.
In that event the Attorney General will
make an investigation to determine
whether he should apply for an injunc
ton against these roads as he did in the
case of the western roads.

SOUTH AFRICAN WONDER.
Boer Farmer to Be Brought to Eng
land to Be Developed.

Word comes from London that Hugh
D. McIptosh, the Australian fight pro-
moter, is not going to have it'all his own
way in the world search for q white
champion to wrest the 1aurels from the
brow of Champion Jack johnson. Me-
Intosh's rival Is coming from an unex-
pected source. He is none other than
Reggie Walker. the South African run
ner. who defeated Rector. Kerr and Cart
nell at the Olympic championships.
Walker is sending for John Storbeck to
come to England from his South African
farm. Storbeek Is h big. young Boer
farmer, who went to England last spring
and won the English amateur boxing
championship very easily, beating the
best youngsters that could be produced.
He is only twenty-one years old. stands
six feet one inch and weighs, when In
condition. about 2G5 pounds.
Stofbeck is recognized as game, hard
hitting fighter that, with more expert
ence, may make things troublesome for
the white men who have designs on John
son. Storbeck has Fever fought pro-
fessiOnally. but in local bouts with the
best of that class that have visited South
Africa he more than held his own.
Jimmy Britt, who was in South Africa
last winter, saw Storbeck box several
times, and on returning to England is
said to have informed his friends If they
sent the big BOer up for the amateur
championships he would win in a walk
Jimmy got the laugh for his predictions,
but all he said nevertheless came true.
Walker has made a contract with Stor-
beck, and when he lands him in England
will put him against a couple OF the dubs
to coax him along. Once he gets outside
of them Walker will send him along
against the best.

FOOT BALL PLAYERS
SHOULD Be NUMBERED
System of identifying the Men
Is Imperative Under the
80 !, New Rules.

The intercollegiate foot ball rules COM
mittes. in it's radical amendment of the
syidiron code, did much Ter which the
foot ball public should be thankful, writes
Edward Bushnell. the foot ball expert.
But 1t does seem a pity that 1t omitted
10 provide one reform that has been
knocking at the door a good many years
II ought to have made some provision
whereby foot ball spectators could follow
the game with more intelligence.
The writer has long maintained that
this could be accomplished easily by a
system OF numbers stitched to the jerseys
Of the players, large enough to be read
from the stands. Then, with a corfe-
spending list Of names in program or on
bulletin board it would be possible for
the spectators to Immediately identify
every man on the field.
Several members of the foot ball rules
committee with whom the writer has dis
eussed this innovation have pronounced
In favor of it but for some reason or
1T TO recommend its adoption to the COL
le2e world. But 1t is a reform which is
bound to come, and some institution
which first shows Its practieabiity will
secure national publicity through its I'M
tiation.
Colleges Too Conservative.
That il has not been adopted before is
due solely 10 the conservatism of the big
colleges. Last year the writer endeavor-
90 TO have the system demonstrated in
the Pennsylvania Michigan game. Both
sides admitted its utility, but neither
wanted to be the first to introduce the
innovation. Finally the Pennsylvania au-
thoriiies agreed to give it trial In the
Cornell game, provided the Ithacans were
favorable. The method was fully ex-
planned to Cornell, but the New Workers
frankly admitted the value Of the scheme,
hut refused at the last moment to have II
put on trial.
The only excuse they could offer was
that the numbering system would give
their opponents an opportunity 10 identify
all their players 1t was pointed out
TO them that the advantages or disad-
vantages Of the system would be evenly
divided between the iva teams. while the
gain TO the foot ball public would be in
eelcuiable.
There ID more reason than ever for the
Introduction of some such system this
year because of tie radical changes IT
the rules Of the game and particular,
the rule which permits the substitution o!
player twice in the same game. The
variety of attack which has. been intro
duced Of late adds to the necessity.

will be able to get that far, whereas un-
der the old rules it took a great deal of
the cleverest kind of play for the ends to
cover the kicks of his back, especially
where one. two or more men were put on
him to watch him
ITO start at the basic principle, every
team must, under the new rules, be pos
sessed of a fairly good kicking game. for
that is the last reliance when other moves
fail, and team certainly must be able
to push it's opponents back up the field
by means of a kick when it finds it

how the rules are going to be interpreted
and what the officials are going to rule
on before they can consistently develop
their plays.
There are So many additional things
for the officials TO watch that it seems
almost an irnpOssibility for any man to
keep the position to the satisfaction OF
himself and others. The danger Of this
situation is that the officials may ignore
certain Of the rules, only watching for the
infractiops which seem to them to be OF
the greatest import. This will result in a
mos, complicated condition of affairs be-
cause teams may play under on. official

new FOOT BALL AS
WALTER CAMP SEES \
Referees Will Have Their
Hands Full Watching For
ward Pass and lacking.

In discussing the new method of foot
ball playing. primarily from the stand
point Of the spectator, Walter Camp.
iale's principal athletic adviser, ex-
presses himself very fully In an article
which will appear in Outing for October.
The chief difficulty in following the
game from the side lines he anticipates
will be in the case Of the forward pass.
There the spectator must see whether the
man making the pass IL. at least five
yards back Of the scrimmage line and the
acknowledgements the two ends-at least
one yard back. incidentally he must de-
terIniEe whether the bail goes over TWEEN
ty yards past the serimmage line, which
is the outside limit OF the forward pass.
Interesting points to bear in mind are the
prohibition OF the defensive players
against interfering with offensive play
ers who have passed the line Of scrim-
mage until the forward pass has been
caught, OF in case Of a kick until the Of
fensfve player has advanced twenty yards
into the territory Of the defense. The
one foot on the ground. The runner with
the ball must not be pushed or aided in
any way by his teammates.
AS to the developments Of tile play I'M
der the new rules Camp says:
I "Pra cticaliy the new rules will put a
premium upon the active and aggressive
back. But it win not do to rely SO much
upon this as to forget the fact that with
out the pushing and pulling a light, ag-
gressive back is going to become ex-
hausted in about half the time he would
tire when he had the assistance of others
to drag him along and save him from
hard falls Hence the captains and
coaches had best not bank entirely upon
featherweights or sprinters pure and SIM
pie.
1.-THE same is true. in a measure. In the
selection of 1inemen. Here once more q
really good big man will probably be bet
ter than a good little man. but brains
and agility are so essential that some
weight may be sacrificed for these ad-
vantages. 1t will hardly be necessary to
secure star ends as 1t was of old because
the new end now coming down under a
kick has such protection for twenty yards
that even the average second-rate player
