BARNEY DRtYFUSS TO USE
BOSTON FOR RtFORMATORY

Pittsburg, Pa, November 22.-That
Barney Dreyfuss intends to use n
dovecote as reformatorry for way
ward FASTENERS and. order to do 30,
has Joined the active disciples of syn
dlcate baseball was the report put i'm
general circulation here is being said
that the president of the Pirates is the
real purchaser of the Dewey stock in
the Boston Nationals instead of John
u. Harris.
Ii Is argued here that while Harris
has been successful i'm managing the
theatrical enterprises of Harry Davis
in this city his profits have not been
such as to permit his buying the con-
trolling interest i'm the Boston club,
and il is generally believed that he was
acting secretly for more prosperous
Spectator with the finger of suspi-
clon pointing at the Pirate boss.
While Dreyfuss has all along pro-
tested against what 10 termed "Syndi-
cate baseball" nevertheless il Is said
that for two years he had n large in
terest in the Philadelphia National
league club. and it is now stated that
the money he realized from the sale
of that stock he had put into the Bos-
ton club with the aid of his agent
Harris.
Dreyfuss could use the Boston club
to excellent advantage as a reform
school If Dame Rumor has not been
flirting with veracity. his Pirates have
not been behaving as perfectly nice
players should. Many have nursed a
crouch during the past season, and
failed to perform anywhere near the
standard. while others have broken
the pledge and left their seats on the
water wagon. These hayward sons Of

MORE TALK OF CHANGING :
RULES OF GRlDIRON CANT

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 22.-Witf
the football season nearing its close
college athletic officials throughout
the country are preparing to report
the results of play under the new
rules to the intercollegiate rules com
mittee. The members of the commit.
tee have been i'm correspondence all
fall and have carefully watched the
effect of the code which was adopted
for this season.
The most important contribution &c
the committees deliberations this
winter will be the material collected
by Walter Camp. the Yale athletic ad-
wiser, on his transcontinental trip. Nc
football official ever made such al
extensive trip nor ever collected 81
much evidence of the needs OF tn,
game. Mr.. Camp is n warm advocat,
of the main features of the revision
which was ordered for this reason. bu
he has some valuable changes of {
minor nature to offer at the comm
meeting of the committee.
There Is every indication that this
winters sessions of the committee vii
be the most harmonious which have
attended any of its work in years. Th'
question which will probably be taker
up first is that of retaining rules which
officials of games declare they coult
not enforce and have regarded as !;
dead letter all the season.
These are mainly incident to the 20
yard neutral zone for onside kicks ant
forward passes. Some of the provi-
sions adopted last year will be tossed
out as being cumbersome and contra
dictory.

BIG MEETING IN CHICAGO.
American League Moguls To Hold
Annual Meeting In West.

Chicago, Nov. 22.-Ban Johnson,
resident of the American league. is
yoing to turn a cold shoulder to New
York this year, and instead of the
nagnates of the junior league gather
ng i'm the east to settle their business
md draw up their 1911 schedule, this
.ity will harbor the moguls.
IL will be remembered that last year
Johnson turned loose the same sort Of
loise and then suddenly sent out the
word to the owners of the various
american league clubs that the meet
ng would be in Gotham. But there
seems to be a ring of truth to his talk
this time. He declares he wants to
place Chicago on the map as the base
ball center of the junior league.
1t is almost certain that the National
league will continue to meet I'm the
east at least as long as John Brush
holds the upper hand. The American
league meeting was born in this city
and IL is only proper that Johnson
should go through with his present
plan.

New York. Nov. 22.--After strug-

The clubs have secured the country
for available material with the result
that each has added many new mem
bers to it's team. From the colleges
and universities the New York a. G.
gathered many of its men. and it has
developed so many youngsters int,
champions that now il is in better
condition that at any time in the last
half dozen years. Its representatives
have won more than their share of
titles and senior metropolitan titles
and the national indoor senior titles.
In the national events the Winged
Fistites carried off the honors. They
ran away with the junior event and in
n desperate struggle annexed the sen
Tor honors. While the Irish club has
many new recruits i'm its lineup. tho
bulk of the points have been scored
by it's veterans. Sheridan. Sheppard
Flanagan. Cloughen. Adhearn, Bonhag
Collins. Brownlow, Mcdonald, Eller
and Archer have worked up to thei
standard and rolled up many points.

MANY OLD STARS

NEW STARS MAKE THEIR
APPEARANCE.

New York, Nov. 22-Every two or
three seasons brings change OF con-
ditions in the baseball world Stars
that have shown so long in the hrma-
ment Of the game that they have come
TO be considered fixed bodies, grow
pale and lustreless and others, more
newly risen, take their places. Teams
that have seemed to be invincible ma
chimes rust and weaken with age, and
the worlds champions of one year may

years later.
OFTEN the deterioration is so gradual,
that the final catastrophe comes as Il
check to fans and ball players alike.
They can scarcely believe that the OBJ
iect of their admiration is but an emp
~ shell, having the same outward
semblance but from which all real liv-
ing strength has gradually dlsinteg-
rated.
Major league comets whirl out of the
obscurity cf some minor organization
and blaze trail of light across the
baseball sky, only to complete their
orbits and to vanish below the horizon
whence they came. The history Of
their passage may be found in musty
records, and they furnish aged enthus-
lasts with food for reflective gossip.
but as far as the mass of the fans are
concerned they live only as dimly
familiar names.
To be sure, some individual players
after they cease their active work on
the diamond become managers and

OUTLOOK FOR DETROIT.
Collapse Of the Athletics Is Only Hope
For Tiqers.

Collapse of the Athletics Is Only Hope
For Tigers.
Barring the collapse of the Athletics.
II is hard to figure how the Detroit
team can expect to land the pennant
next year unless Hughey Jennings is
fortunate enough To pick up several
very classy youngsters. With good
pitching the Tigers would perhaps
have landed again this year, for they
scored enough runs to win pennant'
but their pitchers seemed to have gone
back. and there is no reason why they
should show marked improvement next
year. Donovan and Mullin. for years
the teams mainstays. have about come
TO that turn i'm the road where it leads
down hill, and this is a hard pair to
replace. Then. too. Crawford is not
the Crawford of old. Notwithstanding
the fact that he is still able to get
a big batting average. while that left
field is none too competently filed
whether Jones or Mcintyre is in har-
ness. Behind the bat Jennings has
but one man who looks up TO the
-Stanage-and he is by no
means strong at first base. These po-
,itions and the pitching staff will have
TO be materially strengthened before
the next campaign if the Tigers are TO
come back, though the team even as
il was made up last year, Is sure to
be contender.-J. Ed Grille, in
