The rule regarding crawling with
the ball shall be interpreted to mean
that the runner with the ball who is
In the grasp of an opponent shall not
be permitted to stretch out his arms
with the ball after the ball is dead.
Such an act will be called crawling.
The rule regarding the amount of
time taken out shah be interpreted
that the time shall be charged up to
a team no matter for what reason
time Is taken out.
1t is temporarily agreed that the
player carrying the bah shall be al
lowed to grasp or hold on to another
player Of his side, provided said
player has no special devices about
him for the purpose of aiding the
runner with the ball.
In the case of & forward pass, the
bali shall not be regarded as in pos
session of either team unless It is in
the actual grasp Of player.
No penalties shall be inflicted for
the forward pass until the bali ac-
tually leaves the hands of the passer.
The authorities disagreed over the
real meaning of the complicated for
ward pass rule, and the following
brief statement was decided upon as
giving the western Interpretation of
these rules: The forward pass must
be made from point five yards back
of the line of scrimmage, and Is not
allowed to go more than twenty yards
past the line of scrimmage, but the
ball need not cross the line of scrim-
mage.

cHEsTY PLAYERS MAKE GOOD
Cobb, Latham and Kelly Among Those
of Swell-Headed Kind That
Made Good.

Ty Cobb has been reviled more than
any other player know Of, writes a
well-known New York baseball author
ity. He is called chesty, swell head,
a grand stand player, numbering
base runner, and other names enough
for stranger to the game of baseball
to think the greatest ball player who
ever lived to be dyed-in-the-wool ruff
fan Of the worst stripe.
Now, Ty is chesty, cocky and fresh,
but those are the qualities that make
the best ball players. Cobb was the
freshest kid who ever broke into big
league class, is what every Detroit
player says who was with the Tigers
when Cobb first joined them. But it
was that chestiness and nothing else
that enabled him to climb to the top
of his profession where he stands pre-
eminently now, and there will be no
one to push him off that high pinnacle
until he himself says So
And what is chestiness but the feel
Ing one has that one is just as good
If not better than any one else in
the line of business one follows.
Cobb felt it in his youthful bones
that he was as good a player as any
one on the Detroit team and made
good tho feeling imbued In him that
caused the expansion of chest he is
accused of. Chestiness is one of the
most promising traits youngster can
shcw, and he does not want to lose it,
either, as he gets older.
Ty Cobb newer wore No. cap
[ will warrant. There is only one
player that remember of who ever
did and was good ball player, and
that was Jack Glasscock.
Cobb's brain expands with his chest
and for the same reason. He knew
at the start and knows now that he
is as good as. they make EN-, and.
therefore, why wouldn't he expand,
mentally and physically?
All this knocking OF Cobb, too,
comes from nothing else than pure
and unadulterated jealousy. 1t is a
case of sour grapes every time.

OLD LANDMARK DISAPPEARS.
Sigler House, Built by H. c. Sigle1
in 1853, is Being Removed From
Library Lot.

T. H. Swain is tearing down the
house on the library lot, known as
the old Sigler home, moving it to
lot east of the East Ward school
house. The house is one of great
historic interest in Osecola. 1t was
built of native lumber in 1853 and
at the time was the finest mansion
in town. Frank Gigray sawed the
lumber at the old Hogan mill in
Doyle township and sold it to Sigler
and the oak and walnut are now SO
hard that the task of tearing it down
has been most difficult. The Siglers
lived in it many years and sold it to
B. Prichett, who lived there until he
built the residence across the street,
in which Mrs. Prichett now lives The
owners since have been in succession
Mrs. Press Gilbert and James Clark.
In the north chimney, which had
not been used for some time, was
found a squirrels nest with three
very. small squirrels in it. The men
carefully removed the nest and To-
Gated it in a tree where the mother
followed and SO the last occupants
of the house are now comfortably
located. Thus we mark the passing
of another relic of the early days.
