 The changes in the rules already have been published, and football men, tors and players all over the country have been studying them in order to become familiar with their possibilities and limitations. With the opening of the official practice season less than three weeks off. coaches must have a good idea of the new code before the initial appearance of their respective squads. as only two weeks intervene before the playing of the first games. which in the majority of cases means success or failure to the contesting elevens.

especially from coaches and former players of the larger colleges.
 Unfortunate deaths at West Point and Annapolis made it imperative for the committee to take some action which would appease the persons so strongly opposed to the great college game Several of the coaches with ideas in mind to make the game safer called out their respective squads and tested them in practical way. IL was these experiments which had great weight in framing the new code of rules.
 There is no branch of sport on which the danger element can be wholly eliminated, and statistics show there are numerous branches Of sport in which the number of accidents and fla talities exceed greatly those in football. But in the last few years public senti- ment has been so bitter against foot ball that something radical had to be done to insure its future

NOT A HORSELESS AGE.

The words "horseless age" are mis- leading. Recent statistics show that the demand for good horses is in- creasing steadily, and that farmers and others engaged in the horse trade find difficulty in supplying the home and the foreign market IL is esti- mated that during the last ten years the number of horses has increased 6.00O. 900, and that today there are 31 ,00O, 900 horses on the farms and in cities The total value Of these ami mals is said to be $4,500, 100000. Illi- nois alone has 2,000.0 horses, worth 256,000,000, or more than the value of all the automobiles built during the last year in England, Germany, France and the United States-the value of the 235,OOO cars produced in the four countries being S235, 100000 Accord ing to these figures the horse is in no immediate danger of being super seded by mechanically propelled vehi- cles. on the contrary he seems to have more than held his ground since it was first predicted that he was des- tined to disappear completely because the world soon would have no use for animal power.
 Twenty or twenty-five years ago street railway companies were the largest purchasers of horses. When electric power was adopted the stables were used for other purposes, and the world was informed that the market for horses was killed by the trolley and that horse dealers must find other occupations A few years later bicycles appeared in countless thou sands. and the horse received another death blow. In 1900 the motor car be- gan to take practical form, and the horse again was declared to be an incumbrance on the earth. But the predictions were false; the horse sur vived every onslaught, and the more the people used street cars, bicycles and automobiles the more insistent was the demand for horses. The es- tablishment of new horseshoe factories after the automobile made a place for itself appears to afford conclusive testimony as to the popularity of the house. Prices also have been main- tained, desirable horses self readily for from s25O to $500. The statement that last year the value of horses in the United States increased over s35O.OOO. 900. or three times the in crease of the value of American au- tomobiles built during the same per- iod, is calculated to impress upon the average observer the fact that this is by no means the ''horseless age' de- scribed in the motor car catalogues Providence Journal.

ADJUSTMENTS
BIRDS OF A FEATHER"

Phoenix play goers have been on the qui-vive for the past two weeks, and last evening it was demonstrated to an enormous patronage at the Ma jestic that realization was far better than anticipation. Our old friend Willis West was irrisistible in his portrayal of a German count. His lightning changes of facial expression were spontaneous with his acting.
 His excruciatingly comical portrayal of German. dialect was beyond per adventure the most delightful we have ever been favored with Miss Jane Wetzler Urban. direct from the Burbank theater, Los Angeles has been endowed by nature not only by a natural talent in depicting the role she undertakes but is also possessed of a very finely cultivated soprano voice and exhibited perfect control of the various modulations of the vocal scale. Her rendition of the new song entitled Mary Took Her Calves to the Dairy Show made the hit of the year.

Despite the acquisition Of a numDei of so-called stars and a new manager who before he came to Chicago was supposed to possess as much ginger as "Ee-yah" Jennings, it is neVerthe- less a generally recognized fact that President Charles A. Comiskey's l94o White Sox are a dismal failure.
 And why? Is it because of dissen- sion on the team, because of inability or because of poor management?
 Lack of team work and the inability of Hugh Duffy to manage the team properly are the real causes of the dis graceful showing made by the Chicago American leaguers.
 It was generally presumed before Duffy came to Chicago that he was chuck full of enthusiasm and exactly the kind of a manager the White SoX needed. for their one great fault while under Billy" Sullivan's leadership Tn 1909 was the lack of aggressiveness-
 Well. Duffy came to Chicago and took hold of the team. With his char acteristic generosity Comiskey opened his purse strings and purchased .sev- eral alleged good ball players. paying 3IU,UUU TOT BldChDUIHtf q ohOA eSNNP recommended by Duffy.
 Zeider the star of the Pacific coast, was also bought, and with Chick Gandil, John Collins. Mullen. Olmsted- Young Cy" Young. Lange and Block Manager Duffy had a great aggrega- tion of youngsters to develop.
 There is no doubt, however, that it takes considerable time to develop re- cruits, no matter how promising. But all that Manager Duffy has taught the youngsters this year does not amount to much It is a fact that the team as a whole are playing poorer ball at pres ent than they did at the start of the season.
 Instead of being a second edition of Jennings, Duffy is hardly more than FOOT imitation. He does not try to inli- tate the Detroit manager, however. and it is exceeding doubtful If he could IL just means that he is not built to com mand.
 Que of the worst failings of Hugh Duffy is due to the largeness of his heart. On the field and off the field he treats his players in the same manner. Very seldom does Duffy "calr' one of his men for a bad play. and some of the players who are allowed to take the inch take yard every time.
 So far this season but one man on the White So.. team really got in wrong" with Duffy. That player Young Cy' Young. 10 be explicit-did not arouse the ire of the manager be- cause of poer pitching. It was simply a case of where a man cultivated too strong taste for the bubbling fluid. The way "Cy" was ''lickin' 'em up'' was a sberae and it would have re- fectee upon Duffy himself had he not suspended dim.
 Now if Duffy were not so lenient with his mer, doubtless he would get more work out of them. Throughout the season they played ball as if their one thought was to play nine innings a day, win or lOse-just so they com pleted the schedule.

Thar Split Ball Question

Everybody has heard about the spit ball, but ten chances to one you don't know who invented it.
 Walsh. Comiskey's star twirler?
 Oh, no, not at all. Walsh made it famous, that is true, but the chap who really gave the spit-ball to the great American sport has quietly slipped into the darkness of baseball obscurity. His name was Elmer Stricklett and he never ranked much above second or third class. but just the same a little niche has got to be saved in basebalrs hall of fame for him.

Gayn0r or Flghf Pictures

Mayor Gaynor of New York city hits the nail souarely on the head when he says: "A lot of pressure has been brought to hear on me concerning the rrize-fight pictures. You cannot sat- !sfy the American boy. He will not permit it-and you do not want to do It. ] have never seen a prize fight, but I have no quarrel with the r.an who wants to see one. If the p.cturas of a PriZe fight will teach the American boy hoy to defend himself when he is called upon to do so, then I say let hira see fight pictures. If the sight of a prize fighter in the pink ot condition will make a boy ambitious to possess just such a physiqre, then I say for the good of the nation let him see and appreciate that superb piece of human mechanism in action. Mr Roosevelt would want every boy in America to see those pictures and learn through them every point of self defense-and so do l.

Electrical Workers Issue Statement
 Denying. Rumor of a Grievance.

Rumors that the linemen of the Overland Telephone company were about to go on strike gained consider able circulation yesterday and reach ing the ears Spf the company officials created considerable of furry in the main offices. Just where the rumOr originated or for what purpose it was circulated is something of a mystery. but the report continued so persistent ly that the linemen determined to take official action in the matter
 Accordingly a special meeting of To- cal GAO, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, was held last even ing as the result of which the secre- tary was authorized to issue the fol- lowing denial:
 The rumors that have been circu- lated around town that the linemen working for the overland Telephone company are about to go out on strike is false and we, the members of local GAO of the International Brotherhood of Electrical workers emphatically deny any such rumor of a strike pending, as the men and the company are working harmOniously together

 A delegation from the local GAO wis ited the offices of The Republican last evening and stated that the men had absolutely no grievance and that their relations with the company were most satisfactory We are being treated better than we have ever been treated by any company for which we have worked and there isn't the slightest cloud upon the horizon" is the way one of the delegates put the case.

 The Athletics have three catchers- Thomas, Livingstone and Lapp. Of the three Thomas. who has had the most major league experience, is considered the best.

 Of the Cub catchers Kllng has been batting the best so far, hitting around 256, with Archer using the war club around 249. Needham is also a good hitter when he plays regularly. The chances are that kling and Archer will catch the majority. of the worlds series of games for the Cubs and Thomas and I.app doing the bulk of the work for the American league champions.
