Short-weights in Packages.

Colonel William {. Haskell. super.
intendent of weights and measures of the
District of Columbia, has given ties.
tnony before House committee which
is of interest to the public generally.
Colonel Haskell said that his office
was satisfied after many investigations
that practically every package sold in
grocery stores is from one to four ounces
short of the weight which the purchaser
believes he is paying for The only ex-
ceptlon 10 this short weight which had
ever come to his attention is in the
case of one brand of sugar every pack
age of which, he said, is slightly in ex-
cess of the supposed weight. Colonel
Haskell explained that there iS no dis
trtct law compelling the labelling of pack
ages of food for the purpose of show
ing their weight, and that he regarded
this as principally responsible fer con
dltiOn which permitted the wholesaler
and retailer 10 sell a consumer a much
less quantity than the consumer usually
Supposes he is getting for his money.
The same thing applies 10 liquid meas
ureS and to weight. Pint bottles rPre-
ly contain pint, and quarts seldom
hold more than a pint and half some
times a package and its contents pulls
down the scale Ia the extent expected
by the consumer, but in that case the
weight of the contents falls short to the
amount OF the weight Of the package,

WHAT'S THIS,

The fact that President Navin, OF

fine every one Of his players $500 who
make a trip TO Cuba to play ball may
not make any change In the players

da that they would make the trip.

right after the season Is over and

HOODOO INNING IS LUCKY

troublesome times In Washington
came to an end yesterday afternoon
with battle that lasted so long the
toiling Tigers could not catch the
train they wanted. Detroit 4, Wash
ington 2, 13 innings.
The battle was a fine exhibition OF
baseball. punctuated by the retire
ment OF Geo. Moriarty and another
jangle with Umpire KERN in which
all hands participated. Morry's ban
ishment came after KERN refused to
allow Unglaub TO take first after stop
ping pitched ball with his head, and
reversed his decision. Members OF
both teams congregated and Morry
amused himself by tossing his glove
into the air.
Summers pitched grand ball In the
pinches and during much Of the game
choked off runs when hit or two
would have created great damage.
Gray's wildness had him In trouble
on numerous occasions.
In the ninth inning. with the count
one for Washington and none for De-
troit, Crawford reached second base
after a forceout and rundown play
and tied the count on a double by
George Moriarty.

distance of 20 yards pending the
completion OF a forward pass or kick.
A forward pass is not legal If the ball
crosses a line 20 yards in advance or
the spot where ii was put In play be-
fore touching the ground or player.
In the case of kick, the players on
the defense within the 20 yard zone
must not interfere with the ends, or
other players, in any way until their
opponents have advanced 20 yards be-
yond the line of scrimmage.
Another innovation is TO be noted
in regard to substitution OF play
during game. A rule has been
passed which provides that player
who has been removed for any cause
except disqualification or suspension
may be returned to the game once
at the beginning of any subsequent
period.

The long delayed football code has
been made public at last.
For one thing the time for play is
divided into four periods OF Is min
utes' duration instead OF the ira
ditional two halves OF 80 minutes
each. The usual intermission of Is
Is minutes is maintained between the
second and third periods, but an inter-
mission OF three minutes only Is al
lowed between the first and second
and third and fourth periods. During
this short intermission no player will
be allowed to leave the field nor Will
any one be permitted TO come on
the field save only the individual who
looks after the physical condition Of
the players.
At the beginning Of the second and
fourth periods the teams change
goals. but the down, the relative spot
on the down, and possession or the
ball and the distance TO be gained re-
main as they were at the conclusion
OF the preceding period Of play.
Another radical change is that gov
erning the flying tackle. This has
been entirely eliminated by a new
ruling which provides That payer
must have one foot at least on the
ground when tackling an opponent.
The new legislation governing the
forward pass, which a number of ex-
perts were incluned to abolish alto
gether, will materially alter the play
and ASPECT of the game.
This years rules provide that a
PLAYER is only qualified to receive a
forward pass who is at least one yard
back OF his own line Of scrimmage or
occupies the position on the end of
said line. No man may make a Tor
ward pass or kick the ball unless he
is FIVE yards back of the line OF sc:im-
