New Baseball Rules In Brief.

There being a good deal of confusion
and misunderstanding as to what are
exactly the proposed changes in the
baseball playing rules, they are given
briefly as follows:
The coachs box has been altered to
prevent the coach from getting nearer
than fifteen feet of first base. The
dead line runs through first and second
bases.
The umpire must watch small points
which hitherto have been subjects for
complaint from captains, such as the
discoloring of new balls.
The captain must notify the umpire
of substitutes or changes in the po-
sitions of players, and the umpire must
announce them to the crowd.
The captains must give the umpires
the batting order list at the home
plate before the game is called, and
players named must take part in the
game.
If a player on the defense impedes or
stops a batted ball by throwing a glove
or mask at it the runner gets three
bases.
The umpire judging balls and strikes
is the chief, his colleague guarding the
first and second bases only.

in their country place, known as
Strongheart House. Early in the sea-
son, when they were doing one night
stands, they came upon chicken fam
cier in a New York up state town and
determined to buy some extra good
chickens and ship them to Sag Har-~
Dor. Mr.. Edeson chose some extra fine
White Wyandottes at $40 a dozen
Mrs. Edeson, being less sure of the
egg crop, decided on a dozen plain
White Leghorns at $40 a dozen. The
money changed hands, and the care
taker of Strongheart House was duly
informed that the two dozen additions
to the Edeson chicken family were en-
route to their new home. Just before
Christmas the Blossoms dropped into
Sag Harbor for a few days of rest,
and one of their first trips of inspec-
ton led to the chicken runs. Plym-
outh Rocks strutted proudly in one
run, a huge family of Royal Pekin
ducks was in winter quarters in an
other, in a third were Brahmas, and
in the fourth was a fine flock of white
birds with yellow legs.

An Old Mans Makeup.

j. E. Dodson, the famous character
actor, reveals the secrets of his make
up as Sir John Cotswold in 1.-The
House Next Door as follows:
There are no hard and fast rules to
go by in making up. The actor has to
adapt his makeup to different parts,
and he has to take into account his
own individuality. First 1 mold the
nose out of nose putty-that is, in a
part that demands it. For this part
the nose adds a great deal of charac-
ter. Although Sir John is an aristo-
crat, do not make an essentially aris-
tocratic nose, because the convention
al, thin, aquiline nose is only one ele-
ment in the makeup of the aristocrat
and there is so much comedy, so much
strength and so much pathos in role
of this kind that mere thin, aquiline
hose would hamper rather than aid in
the makeup. A rigid, hard, aristocratic
nose would give a set and unlikely ap-
pearance, and, in contrast with the
other facial characteristics of Sir
John, it would be a. blemish rather
than mark of character.
Now I paint my nose, which is
grated with Sir Johns, with this melt
ed color using a camers hair brush

Having done this, / adjust the nose
and then cover the entire face with

from becoming irritated and in order
to give a smooth foundation for the
grease paint. Next l put on the foun-
dalton of flesh colored grease paint all
over the face, which afterward has to
be colored according to the nature of
the part. For this part being, as ]
said, a bilious old man, then put on

but when it becomes too cold to hold
the events outdoors they will be
brought under cover.
Followers of professional foot racing
in this country have long been looking
forward to an organization of this
kind. Until recently professional foot
racing in America, more fourishing
now than it has been at any time in
the last six or seven years, has been
more or less of a hit or miss game,
with everybody looking out for him
self and without any organization.
: The new circuit assures many who
would turn professional if they were
guaranteed enough money a chance to
kick in and is really the best thing
that has happened to the Amateur
Athletic union, which organization at
around as simon pures.
1t is interesting to note the number
of new runners that have come to the
front since the new circuit was form
ed In fact, it looks as if the old
timers will be in the background with
in a short time. Just about a year
ago st. Yves. Hayes, Dorando, Shrubb,
Longboat and several others were oc-
cupying the limelight, but within the
last six months or more some wonder
full distance runners have been dis
covered, notably Fred Meadows, who
captured the fifteen mile race in New
York recently; Hans Holmer, the
sturdy Canadian: Red Hawk, the In
dian; Gustave Lung the Swede
who ran second to Meadows in the re-
cent race, and Thure Johansen, an
other Swede, who broke all indoor and
outdoor worlds records for the Mara

hours, 36 minutes and So LIS seconds

that he intends to take things very

Murphy, the New York lightweight,
who recently secured a decision over
Owen Moran, wants a crack at the

who visited England in quest of a mix
up with Freddie WEIGH, but the latter
f1unked out of the match. Murphy and
Mcfarland are sure that they can lean
one over on Wolgast's puss and send
him into dreamland.
Added to these are challenges from
Bat Nelson and Joe Cans. Nelson, in
clamoring for another meeting with
his conqueror, says he will wager
$4,000 on himself
Cans says he will bet anything from
a shoe button up to $4,000 that he can

The firm hold professional foot run

many cities in the east whenever an

throughout the west and middle
west this plan will be followed. The

the letter which Collier had already
