| Carl Morris is making forward strides.
His victory over Tom Kennedy in New
York last night does not. perhaps, put
him any nearer the championship than
he ever has been, but it does prove that
! the man from Oklahoma is improving
rapidly, and may in the course of a year
or SO be able to have an element behind
him which believes that he can earn the
worlds title.
There is, of course, still a long row
for Morris to hoe before he can expect
to have a chance with Johnson but the
fact that he continues to improve is, to
say the least, encouraging. His next
match will undoubtedly be his most i'm

who takes care of himself
No less an authority than Tyrus Ray

in Detroit last week. When Cobb an
nounced that he would terminate his

expected he would accompany the Tigers

the object in doing so.
Il am willing to do my share and more

1T Is noticeable that my worst year
was the one which followed a spring

Base bali followers throughout the
country have often wondered why Cobb

enlightening statement:

There are many ball players who
would make their running and their play

slide into the sacks. The strain on the
cords about the ankles Is minimized. and
really the chances Of landing in safe are
much enhanced.

believe that ball playing is a great deal
like mining gold. If that Is the case, then
Overall is doubly fortunate. for he is able
to work both occupations lucratively.
Possibly he will have change of heart
and decide that it is better to play ball
one more season with a major league

Though it was Manager Griffith's hope
that by the time his team went into
training he would have at least one more
recruit to try out for third base, he Is
almost ready to admit now that Ray
Morgan and Eddie Foster will be the
only two players to battle for this posi-
ton. He does not figure much on either
Sheer or Scott. secured from Youngs-
town, because OF the information which
reaches him that neither of these young
sters is ready for fast company.
He fully expected when he took charge
here to be able to secure youngster
or two for third base, but every effort
in this direction has been blocked. so
that he feels that he must depend on
Morgan and Foster.
To both this will virtually be a new
position. Morgan's only experience at
third base was during his short stay
with the Nationals last fall when he
showed much Improvement. Foster. like
Morgan, has been shortstop, and it
usually takes some time to convert a
base playing. because the balls come diff
ferently to third than~they do to short.
Griffith believes, however, that if these
two players have ability it will not
require a great deal of time to get them
accustomed to third, and he will practice
them both there during the trainins
period. Foster, of course, has had more
experience than Morgan, and for this
reason might be given the preference.

1t is not probable that the foot ball
rules will be materially changed this
year, as has been expected would be
the case i'm many instances While the
intercollegiate Athletic Association does
not govern any one branch Of college
sport, its influence in the domain of col
lege athletics is so great that whatever
findings it may make in it's annual meet
ing today in regard to the foot ball sit
uation will probably be upheld by the
rules committee, and the general senti-
ment of the collegiate body is to let the
code stand as it is for another year.
OF course, as has been stated several
times. the big eastern schools want a
radical revision of the present system sc
that the game will go back to about what
1t was six years ago when the old mass
play predominated, but there is not much
chance of them securing the Legislation
they are after. There will be some
changes in the rules, there being several
points of minor character in the code
which need clearing up, but barring
those it is not probable that there will be
any decided changes. The smaller col
legeS in the east will undoubtedly combine
with the larger institutions in the west,
which will vote solidly for the present
system to be retained, and the two fac
tions together should easily be able to
overcome the opposition which will be
received from the Blk Six in the east.
Small Schools With West.
The smaller schools have been enabled
to score several victories over the big col
leges which formerly had things their
own way by making thorough use of the
elasticity given to the game by the new
,.,,1< -
their stand for the system under which
they have been the more successful. The
west has also been successful since the
present code came into existence and has
advanced SO far along foot ball lines that
now 1t is at least on an equal footing with
the east. DR.. Williams, who is at the head
of foot ball at Minnesota and who is
chairman of the rules committee, is decid-
eddy in favor of keeping the rules intact
except for few minor changes. When the
forward pass came near to being done
away with last year at the meeting of the
rules committee it was DR.. Williams who
in the main kept 1t in the game, and his
opinion will go far toward molding the
game for the coming season.
1t should be definitely understood that
the colleg ate association which meets to-
day for it's annual confab in regard to
things athletic in the colleges does not
itself formulate the foot ball code. What
1t does do Is to discuss the changes which
are generally desired. and then, after sift-
ing them down, make recommendations
