"SILK" O'LOUGHLN
OUTLINES new RULES

Much has been said about the changes
that have been made in this years big
league base ball rules, but few have real
tied what the endeavors of the joint COM
n1ittee have really amounted to.
As there has not been one single dis
senting voice on the matter of the pro-
posed changes and simplif1cations. it is
taken for granted that the alterations
Will go as recommended.
silk O'Loughlin of the American
League umpire staff has taken the
trouble to outline in brief the various
changes for the benefit of the fans as
follows:
The coacher's box has been limited
SO that the coacher cannot approach
nearer to first base than fifteen feet
The dead line is drawn at an imaginary
line directly through first and second
bases.
The captain will no longer have to ap-
peal to an umpire for small offenses
such as the discoloring of new balls. 1t
is the duty of the umpire to watch these
things himself.
When a player is substituted or shifted
from one position to another the captain
must notify the umpire and the latter
must announce the change to the specta-
tors.
THE batting order of both teams must
be delivered by the captains to the UNI
pire at the home plate before play begins
and the players thus named must par
ticipate In the game
"A runner is allowed three bases If a
player on the defense throws a glove or
mask at a batted ball and succeeds in
hitting it or inpedes its progress.
The umpire judging balls and strikes
is the chief. The other umpire has iuris-
d1ctton over first and second bases only
Every player gets an assist who as
Sists In putting out runner even though
he makes the putout himself thus re-
celvlng credit for a putout and an assist
on the one play.
The chief umpire can first fine and
lot a second offense eject players who
kick while on the benches"

Long Trip for White Sox.

CHICAGO, ILL.,. February 9.-The Chi
cago American League team will prob
ably start on it's training trip to Cali
fornia February Is.
President O'Neill of the Western
League who went west to arrange for
the invasion Of California by the Chicago
Americans, returned yesterday. He
brought back glowing accounts of the
trip that the squad will take, and while
no definite dates as to exhibition games
were given out 1t was announced that
the schedule had been arranged SO as
to give the players plenty Of sleep In
hotels and not on sleeping cars for sew
eral successive nights at a time.
c. A. Comiskey still has the trip to
the northwest to decide upon. but Cos
sip about base ball headquarters yester-
day indicated that he had abandoned
the idea, and the homeward journey will
be made over the southern route, the
same as in the two years previous.

in the air as much as ever, but reliable
inside information has it that Richard
has given in and Gleason has won in his
fight for San Francisco.
The last conference yesterday after
noon ended with Richard gloomy and
Gleason chesty. Richard refused to say
anything definite, but he is authoritative
ly quoted as saying that the fight goes to
california His statement that no an
nouncement of the definite place for the
fight will be made until after he has
had another conference with Gleason, in
few days. is attributed to his desire
to stave off the announcement of his
defeat in his effort to give the fight to
Utah as long as possible. That this an
nouncement. when made, will send the
fight to San Francisco, is the confident
expectation here.

CHAMPION BILLIARDIST.
Gray Defeats Hickey in Deciding
Game in Amateur Tourney.

Gray defeated Hickey at the Royal
last night in the final and deciding game
for the amateur billiard cup. Each of
these cue artists, previous to last nights
game, had won three contests. and
large gathering was on hand last evening
to witness the final struggle.
Gray played a much better game than
his opponent. and his control and head
work were much the better throughout the
evening. In the sixth inning Gray made
a run OF twenty EIGHT, and this gave him
a lead of the same number of points.
Hickey was much in the rear until the
forty-second inning was reached. In this
session he made run of twenty-siX,
which put him within five points of
Gray.
After his victory last night Mr.. Gray
was presented with the handsome silver
cup trophy prize.
Following are last nights scores:

is a big fellow, and with little form in
the putting he should be able to add
several inches to his already good record.
1t would be a welcome piece of news to
the Machinists to have Spransy break
the shot-put record, as he is very popular
at Technical.
Let us hope the proposed interhigh re-
lay between the high schools of this city
will take place in the Richmond meet.
1t could not help but be good race, for
all the high schools are fortunate in hav
ing fast quartet of runners enrolled
among the track candidates. If this
match is pulled off it is not known
whether Central will run the second re-
lay, which has been representing the
track team to date. or pick senior re-
lay, composed of the fastest men at the
quarter mile in the school.
Eastern has not as yet elected base
ball captain or appointed base ball
coach as far as the public knows. The
southeast boys expect to be In the run
ming for the base ball championship
again this season, but so far nothing
has been done toward drawing up the
plans for the coming season. Base ball
is the most successful sport in which
this school INDUCES. for Ii is known the
school always turns out good nine and
that the boys of the school seem to en-
ter into this branch Of athletics with vim
and determine ton.
When 1t comes to hurdling. Hunt Of
Central springs into the foreground. Thexe
have been but few good hurdlers in tha>
high schools who have anything on him.
He has been a consistent worker under
coach Foley, and the result Is another
point winner has been added to the Cen
trail squad. As years come and go 1t is
forcibly impressed upon the public the
number of classy track athletes Mr.. Foley
develops each year at the street school.
Mr. Foley appears to like the work OF
training the Centralites and gives the
high school boys all the time he can
possibly spare and you can bet it is ap-
preciated. The faithful training Of the
ma jority of the squad plainly demon
strates this fact. Nichols, one of the
Central distance runners. is also spring
ing into the limelight in the mile run
this season. The school now has two
excellent men I'm the distance events,
namely Nichols and Dysen. and counts on
this combination to annex several points
for the track team.

SPEEDY WOLVERINES.
Classy Y. M. G. A. Quint Smothers
the Military Lads.

the Y. NJ. c. A., scored a clean-cut VIC
tory over Company K of the Military
League in basket ball at the association
gym last night. The final score resulted
IS to O.
The contest. although a one-sided affair,
was very interesting from the stand
point that the playing of the Wolverines
was of the fast and snappy order. They
played rings around their opponents, and
from its showing last night this team
stands a good chance of making any Of
the Districts leading aggregations sit
up and take notice.
Capt. Strausbaugh classes his team as
being one of the fastest quints in the
vicinity of Washington, and is DESTROYS of
arranging games with any of the class A
teams.

SOUTHEAST WINS.
Y. M. C. A. Branch Quint Easily
Beats Gaithersburg.

The Southeast branch of the local Y.
NJ. c. A. added another prominent vic
tory to its long list last night, by de-
feating the strong basket ball team from
Gathersburg, Md. The score resulted Sc
to 10.
The Marylanders were beaten from the
sound of the first whistle. Their playing
was far below that of the local boys, and
this was noticed during the first few
minutes of play. The local team started
its score-making right at the beginning
of the game, and at the close of the
first half the score stood 80 to 3.
The team work and goal putting of the
local aggregation was one of the features
of the game. The work of Giavonni and
Kelliher was of the gilt-edged order. This
pair figured prominently in the defeat
of the Maryland five.
