DETROIT THE DRAWING CARD.
Connie Mack Says His Cham lions Don't Get Crowds Like the Tigers.

Champio are not. rewarded in dol lars and cents, according to one way Connie Mack has of figuring it. He takes his own team, for instance, and compares the Athletics with the Tigers.
 Now, last sea son. says Mack, i've won the American league flag. Then we took on the Cubs and beat them for the worlds championship. 1t was the first time in four years that an American league club had beaten the National leaguers in world series. Naturally, it was expected that we would be a big drawing card this year. But are we? Not on your life. And whe is? Your Tigers are
 We go to St. Louis and the crowd is small. We'll they turn out well here for Detroit is what we hear. We go to Cleveland and the crowd is fair. Gee, but the Tigers pull 'em in over here is what they tell us. In Chicago we get big crowd. If the Tigers were playing here the park would be
 Not alone in the. west, but in the east. The Tigers come to Philadelphia and we hang up a worlds attendance record at our park. They go to Boston and people are turned away. Wash ington they draw almost twice as many people as we do. and they out draw us in big numbers in New York city.
 We have drawn big crowds this year. I'm not saying that we haven't, but Detroit draws so many more than we do. When the attendance figures for the season are recorded in Ban Johnson's office I'll wager you that Philadelphia will have drawn but two thirds as many neople this year as D. troit, not including a world series at- tendance.
 Tt is nice to have a worlds cham pionship for our team, but there is cer- tainly a lot of evidence that it does not mean breaking attendance records
 Detroit is in the American lea que just what New York is in the National. Both teams are good fighters. Detroit is a scrappy organization and there is nothing in the world that fans would like to see more than Detroit lost game and there is nothing other teams would sooner do than beat Detroit.
 McGraw has scra ppy team in the National league. Everybody in that or ganization wants to beat the Giants, just like everybody in our Ioc rue would like to lick the Tigers. And although the Giants haven't won pennant for years and years, they continue to draw vast crowds simply because they have a grand fighting organization.
 And Detroit also has certain out fielder who is quite an attraction

HOW ARMSTRONG FELL. Sudden Defeat of the Big Black Told
 by Stuart Douglas.

"If there was ever a promising giant who fell with a sudden flop" says Stuart F. Douglas. now an alderman of New Rochelle. but once promoter of a hundred battles, -'it was Bob Arm strong. the gigantic negro whom Par son Davies brought out some few years ago and who looked, for a little time, as if he could clean up everything in the heavyweight division. The old record books tell how the towering Armstrong was toppled in round by a smaller older negro-F'rank Childs and the old-time fight fans used to wonder how on earth that battle ever happened-how ParsSn Davies even permitted his champion to take chance when he was SO near the top of the ladder, and how Childs stung the mammoth with such great alacrity. It is a curious story and is now told by Douglas in an interview with w. A. Phe1on.
 s.one Saturday night, years back, Fred Stone, then matchmaker of the Chicago Athletic association. had booked Frank Childs for his wind-up largely to oblige some good fellows to whom the negro owed considerable money, and who saw in this fight their only hope of getting back their coin. Some other fighter, of so little fame that I have now forgotten the other fellows name. was to be the other half

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
WAR CAUSES REACTION. Recovery of Prices Continued Until
 Italy Made Declaration.

New York, Sept. z9.-The nor ~7al re- covery in prices on the Stock exchange which characterized yesterdays opera tions was continued through the early part of today's trading. The extensive short interest was the pivot around which the market revolved, the cover ing movement by that element consti- tuting the most important factor. Declaration of war by Italy against Turkey later brought about reaction.
 The position of this country at the time of crisis in European politics was described. by interna tional bankers as unusually favorable. For the first time in many years. it was said, the beginning of a war in Europe found money rates here easy, so that New York is in position to enlarge it's credits abroad.
 There was further activity in the bond market. Some of the speculative issues were pushed up al a lively rate early in the day, but reacted sharply with a final upturn before the close The general bond market was firm with a good distribution of business Total sales of bonds, par value, s3, 420, 00o United States bonds unchanged on call.

DOUBTFUL FOOTBALL
 POINTS CLEARED AWAY.
Conference of Rules Committee Pre-
 pares Way for Seasons Play.

Ire annual conference of the foot ball rules committee was held in New York last week.
 Few changes in rules were made, and those were slight. Some of the explanations were as follows: A for ward pass which goes over the goal line or strikes the goal posts is a
 touchback. A ball it not dead when it strikes an official, and play must be continued as if the incident had not
 occurred. A forward pass illegally touched or recovered shall go to the opponents on the spot of the preceding down, instead of where the foul oc- cured. If a player loses the ball as he is making a forward pass the off cial must decide whether or not the ball in leaving his hand goes back ward or forward. If forward it con- stitutes an incompleted forward pass, if backward 8 tumble. If a, foul is de- clared, for which the penalty would
 carry the ball over the goal line, 1t shall be placed on the one yard line.
 The attention Of the officials was
 called to the rule relating to the pro-
 lection of the man carrying the ball
 It was the consensus of opinion that
 last year this rule was much abused both by players and officials. Walter
 Camp interprted the rule, saying:
 '',rhe man carrying the bill cannot
 be helped by any other player, and any man who, whether accidentally or not, places a hand on the player to as sist him. should be imposed with the penalty in every case. This rule should be strictly adhered to in both large and small, games, or else roughness will crop out in the. game. It is up to the coaches, captains and officials to in sist upon strict interpretation of the rules at all times
 On conditions covering the llne-up after scoring, the first paragraph of rule l is changed to read: The teams shall not change goals after 8 try al goal following a touchdown, and after a goal from the field, but the side just scored upon shall have the option of kicking off or having their opponents kick off, The rule originally included the words "a safety following the word after
 On page f96 of the guide the last tive 1 lines, Section ?, reading, If neitlfer is 1 in possession of the ball, same as free 1 ball." are expurgated. Rules govern l ing penalties have been changed. Sec 1 ton g. paragraph A, now reads: Play CTS of the side not in possession of the
 ball may use their hands and arms il 1 tackling the player who is carrying the l bail, or in a, bona fide attempt to get a l the player with the ball
 Paragraph B of the same rule now
 reads: Players of the side which dit not put the ball in play and are no l in possession of the ball shall no 1 tackle nor in any way hold opponents
 except in an actual attempt to tackle l the player who is carrying the ball

Cincinnati, Sept. 29.-Owing to un- certainty of the National league race, as well as the length of time that still intervenes before the worlds series, the national baseball commission at a meeting here today deferred action urcn } worlds series schedule and will meet next Thursday in New York to again take up the question.
 The committee adjourned after a four hour session.
 A number of findings were promul- gated by the commission. Amons these were the following:
 Ty Cobb of Detroit was fined $100 for participating in game with a professional team playing Sunday baseball. The team was the Lennox Ovals of New York state.
 In the contention of the Detroit club against the Montgomery club. relative to Player Le1ivelt, the player was awarded to Detroit.
 The claim of the Savannah club against the Chicago Nationals relative to Player Miller was denied, but Pres ident Murphy of the Chicago Nation als was fined $50 for his part in the transaction.

of the sketch, and on Friday afternoon he broke his arm while training.
 "Stone phoned me, asking me whom l could olg up to meet Childs. ana | Davies Chicago representative. in hopes that he might have some minor boxer at hand and ready for a fray. I went over to the old Fremont house hotel who should stride in but the gigantic Armstrong, whom, the Parson had been carefully coaxing along and who looked for all the world like the star of the heavyweight division.
 Davies had been looking out for his expenses. and matching him only to the best advantage, while Bob had been more than making good. The ParSon, it seems. had been called out of town, and had left the giant in Glicl1auf's hands, with positive orders not to let him box anyone, not even to go on in an exhibition, till he should return. When I saw the big fellow, I at once attacked Glicllauf with per suasive. arguments and flashes of the ready coin. He wouldn't hear of it, but when I talked of the ease with which the aged and decrepit Childs could be trimmed, and also of the ample remuneration. Armstrong him self grew restive. He treatened to kick over the traces if he didn't get the nSHt. dIlO, dL ldSl, IllChdul, SCC- ing only cinch ahead, consented
 The next night, Armstrong, tower ing over Childs, stalked into the ring. When the gong rang, he drove Childs around the square, picking at him lightly with his long left and talking patronizingly to him. Come, liP mig gah,' said the giant, don't yo-an be 'fraid An won't hunt yo'. Lay down when it comes too hot, lil' man-dar' S nc need fo' yo' to get injuhed
 "Childs backed timidly round the padding, Armstrong stalking after. And suddenly, like a flash from a clear sky, Childs whirled and flung an overland right al the outsretched jaw of the giant negro. Armstrong~fell like steer beneath the axe. He scram bled up, mechanically. dazed and stupefed Then he walked over to the ropes, walked straight into them, and dove headlong out of the ring, landing sound asleep among the $5 chairs. It was the funniest thing that ever happened in ring, and the glory of Bob Armstrong went into total eclipse forever.
 The Parson and I had been pals for years, but he never spoke to me for two years after this event, and there was always a palned LOOK upon his countenance, even after he mace up, when he saw me coming. As to l poor Harry GIickauf-WeH, I've heard he had to go into hiding, for the Par son surely would have slain him.

VANGUARD GOES BEST
 AGAINST STRONG OPPONENTS, The Rube Has Downed All the Top
 Notchers Among the Nationals

The 10 out of 12 victories credited to Ruoe Maronuard since the Cincin- natis conquered him July IS take in all Of the first division opponents and the two top team h the second di- vision. Neither the Brooklyns nor Bostons have figured in the games, and as these teams are seventh and eighth. respectively, credit must be given to MarquaN for doing his work against tha strongest array of oppo- nents that could be lined up agains t him. That being the case, the nine out of ten victories are all the more worth while.
 Further evidence of the Rube,s m ct tie is found in a more elaborate study of the games Most of them have been hard to win-games won by a narrow margin by the Giants-1ith the result in do,i7ot to the finish and recurring the pitcher to keep his nerve and ef fectiveness to pull through. They were games which easily might have been lost with any webbling on Marquard s part, and therefore more of test of his ability than if they had been one- sided.
