MACK MAY TRADE
"STUFFY" McINNES
Three.cOrnered Deal Is the
Latest RumOr.
le Washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Philadelphia, Dec. ia three-cornered
deal, in which the Athletics, Cleveland,
and Detroit teams are involved, is among
the possibilities. Cleveland and Detroit
have been trying to engineer a trade for
several days.
Manager Davis, of Cleveland, has First
Baseman StovaIl to dispose of, while De-
troit is willing 20 part with Third Base
man Moriarty. Efforts to trade these men
resulted in the names of Outfielders
Drake, of the Tigers, and Graney, OF the
Cleveland team, being added in order to
even up things.
Detroits desire to secure Stovall and
the bid which President Navin, OF the
Tigers, made for Tim Jordan, the for
mer Brooklyn slugger, caused consider
able surprise during the league meetings
last week. Detroit last spring sprung a
regular phenom in the person Of First
Baseman Gainor. The latter unfortu-
nately had his wrist broken by a pitched
ball, and it was late in the season be-
fore he got back to duty.
It is believed that Manager Jennings
has n strong suspicion that Gainor may
not be fit for regular duty next year. If
this is the case, Manager Mack has cause
to worry regarding ''Stuffy" McInnes
who had his right arm broken at the
wrist by ball pitched by Mullen during
Detroit's last visit to this city last fall.
McInnes' injury was of the kind known
as a "green-tree fracture;' that is. in
stead of there being n clean break the
bone was splintered. II is not supposed
that Manager Mack would think of trad
ing such a valuable youngster as Nc
Innes, but with Stovall on the market
there Is a possibility of Comics endeav-
Orlng TO prepare for any emergency next
spring by turning the Cleveland-Detroit
dicker into a three-cornered deal

JACKFIELD, OF YALE,
SAYS -FOUR DOWNS"
Urges Change in the Foot
ball Rules.

New Haven. Dec. 19.-In response to a
query from the Yale News as to the
need for football rules reform, Jack
Field, head coach at Yale the past sea-
son writes:
I'VE all agree that the rules as they
now stand make the defense so strong
that two evenly matched teams cannot
score, unless on a fake of some kind or
d tumble. This is directly against pub
Hc wishes, for they want to see Of
tense. and one that will go consistently.
The present rules defeat this.
"I, like many others, would suggest a
fourth down, with the same distance 10
fatn. One other suggestion. Make 1t
possible for ends going down under
punts TO be checked at any place in the
held"
Coach Roper, Of Princeton, said that
there ought to be very little change in
the rules.
Coach Haughton, of Harvard refused
70 make any statement.

VIII Present Strongest Lineup
Against AH-StarS Sunday.
Manager Joe Oliveri. of the cham
pionship vigilant football team, re-
ports all his men in perfect condition
for a hard game with the Scholastic
AlI-Star team Sunday at Union League
Park, Fifteenth and H streets north
east. Lee Martin, the crack half back
who was slightly injured in the game
Sunday, is again in fine shape, and will
start in his old position against the
schoolboys.
The All-Stars will be greatly strength
ened Sunday by the addition of Stack,
the old Central High center, in their
lineup. The Schoolboys were only
beaten on the final play of the game
the last time they played, and, as they
have practiced hard since then, they
expect to turn the tables Sunday.
A strange thing about the last game
played between the teams was the fact
that the time was up while the ball
was in the air on the forward pass that
won the game for the Vigilants. The
rules read that any play that is start
ed will be allowed to be finished before
time is called, 50 the AI-Stars were
beaten in overtime, which was perfect

BY WILLIAM PEET.

Manager Clark Griffith, of the Ma
tionals, plans a number of innovations
and improvements at the Florida avenue
hall mark He will not only level on
the pitchers box, but expects to have
the outfeId graded so as to resemble
the smoothness Of a billiard table, and
will install a monster canvas covering
for the diamond, similar to devices used
in Pittsburg, Cleveland, and other cities.
All these Improvements will not be in
stalled at once, for several reasons.
Prior to the coming season, the diamond
will be leveled, and Griff will devote
considerable time and energy to per-
fecting the infleld.
Next fall the outfeld will be plowed
up and leveled, in order that 1t may
settle during the winter. 1t would be
impossible to reconstruct the outfleld
right now any way, as there is a lot of
work and expense entailed, and Grin
figures that by fixing the infield this
spring the outer gardens can wait for
a season.
The idea of a canvas covering for
the diamond is a good one and has
long since been adopted by other big
league clubs. In Pittsburg a device has
been installed that will permit of play
ing a game in the afternoon after 1t
had been raining hard all morning.
cost being estimated at 5000, but the de-
vice will pay for itself in less than a
year Griff expects to install one at
National park probably the season after
next.
The story published in The Herald yes
terday morning regarding an outlaw
league with club in Washington
caused more smiles than ripples of ex-
citement That such a thing is possible
and stands a fair chance of going
through the writer thoroughly believes.
AS to its being a money maker or sur
viving later than the Fourth of July
is doubtful, but the promoters know their
business and are determined to launch
the project
Manager Griffith, of the Nationals, said
yesterday that he will welcome an outlaw
team in this city. Il hope they go
through with it," declared the local boss,
for the sooner they start the sooner
they will Quit-they will not bother US
much
If the outlaw league is formed and they
are permitted to play Sunday ball at
Union League Park, the games are sure
10 draw big. This will help whole lot.
Down in Richmond it is claimed that
rival club would prove a big drawing
card, as the Virginia leaguers are not
popular with the fans. Sunday games in
the other proposed cities of the circuit
would also pay handsomely. Therefore If
the league actually gets under way it
may eventually cause a few ripples Of
excitement.

Ban Johnson has a new scheme, and
this is to announce the official averages
monthly instead of at the close of the
season, the method now in vogue. For
that reason he has attached to his corps
a statistician, whose one duty is to COM
pile the figures submitted by the official
scorers and have them in shape to issue
to the public. This looks like a mighty
good scheme and will keep the fans post
ed from month to month as to the exact
standing of their pets officially. 1t will
also help a lot in settling bets. which are
made ad lib. on batting, base running,
and other departments Of the game.
Bowling as an exercise for keeping
ball players in trim during the on sea-
son is advocated by Harry Davis, first
baseman for the world champion Ath-
letics in the last world series and newly
appointed manager of the Cleveland
American League club for 1912.
According to Davis there is no indoor
sport which better helps the ball player
to keep in shape during the winter
the athlete in shape, but also develops
him, says the Nap manager, adding that
the alley game develops the legs and
arms and also the stomach muscles,
which play a far more important part in
baseball than the average fan realizes.
The Cleveland manager religiously fol-
lows this sport during the winter. He
was for several seasons proprietor of a
bowling parlor in Philadelphia, and
,r-1, HGfn art TEy1tl u
the mineral ball, he is said to be one Of
the best bowlers in either Of the two
ma jor leagues.
Davis advice recalls the fact that a
ball player, Al Selbach, was once con-
ceded to be the champion bowler of the
Selbach, a prominent figure In
the majors for a number of years, and
still playing in one of the Northern mi
nors, was probably more prominent in
the bowling realm than in baseball,
though in his palmy days he was a
corking good outfielder. George Nc
Bride, shortstop of the Washington
American League club is probably the
best bowler in the big leagues to-day,
and most of his idle hours during the
season are spent at some
downtown pin parlOr.
Frank Baker. whose lusty wallops did
so much to disconcert the Messrs. Math-
ewson and MarQuard, is taking care Of
the rainy-day proposition. He has taken
bundles OF the money which ne had
stacked away as the result OF two
worlds series melons cut the large way
and invested in farms down at his ma
tive Trappe. Baker exemplifies the pres
ball player. He embodies pro-
fessional skill with a canny method of
sane finance. The day of the o!d swash-
buckler, who blew his money before ne
earned it, Is passed. Nowadays the wise
one puts it in a large vault Or keeps It
safely invested in paying properties.

FOR BRIDGEPORT 7
Local Boy to Play in Connec-
ticut League.

Big Six Brewer. one OF the best
catchers ever developed on the local sand
lots, has signed a contract with the
Bridgeport club of the Connecticut
League, and will report to Manager Gene
McCann early next April.
Brewer should have little difficulty in
making good with the Come cticut
League, and it is freely predicted that he
will soon be in faster company.
The Washington club signed Brewer
last summer and carried him with them
three weeks, during the time Gabby
Street and Ainsmith were out of the
game on account of injuries. Brewer
made fine impression on Manager Nc
Aleer and the players on the club.
Tom Crooks, of Washington, is the
Bridgeport first baseman and captain,
