New York, Dec. 1.-THE national
commission issued q statement Mon

New York National league baseball
club, or any of It's officials. and ticket
tober. So far Chairman August Herr

$500 looking for evidence and was
prepared to spend more. 1t has in
Vestigated the scandal, he declared,
and would continue to investigate,
but real proof was hard to get. What
evidence had already been garnered,
he did not disclose.
This was but one OF several mat
ters that kept the commission for six
hours behind closed doors. Another
matter discussed was gambling in
baseball pools, upon which the men,
bers placed a ban. To correct this
evil, the commission adopted a resolu-
ton recommending to the National
in their power in their respective
circuits to end the custom.
It was also announced that the
commission will consult with the
postoffice authorities and the proper
federal officials to secure their CO.
operation to that end. 1t having been
reported to the commission that 9 v

rNDEsIRED ADVICE AGAIN.

l.. Blu Evans. n umpire. tells the fol.
lowing story: In the fall Of 1908 the
worlds series games were shown in
st. Louis in moving pictures. and
Harry Howell lectured before the cur.
tain. No player was more prominent
than Mordecai Brown. He outguessed
Detroit time and again. and he afford
ed Howell a chance to talk. Howell
told how Brown threw his battling
curves. INC voiced the opinion that
the Cub was one of the greatest
pitchers that yer lived. What makes
his work more remarkable" he said,
lis the fact that when a boy he lost
two fingers Of his pitching hand"
When Howell was making his exit a
husky voice demanded: Why don't
you get wise. Howell. and chop of
a couple of fingers?"
ANOTHER MURPHY SUGGESTION.
That ubturitous and energetic
young Charles Webb Murphy,
president Of the Chicago Cubs. comel
through with a suggestion that the
National league appoint a commits
tee of umpires to codify the rules.
and discard those that are of no
use n necessity in the government
Of The great national pastime. Which
is a sensible scheme and one that
should appeal to the magnates. No
less an authority than Hank O'Day
says that there are a number Of rules
which are never enforced and Of no
use: therefore. they should be ahol-
ished. 1t is to be hoped that the
solons at the annual meeting will
adopt this suggestion and appoint the
committee.

THESE MEN KNOW.

Expert testimony to the effect that
the new football rules have decreased
the number of injuries is offered by
Trainers Donovan of Harvard. Fitz-
patrick Of Princeton. and Mack of
Yale. The extent of the injuries was
not as great as in former years" a y
Donovan. Il think that the game as
played today has cut the more seri-
u injuries to Il very great extent"
There is no question in my mind but
that there are fewer injuries in the
game as it is played today than under
the old rules" is Fitzpatrick's view.
Mack said: As long as there is foot
ball there will be small injuries. In
estimation the new style of game
as played by the college teams offers
less chance of injury than the old
style"

many of you Cousins like to go to

two of the best teachers in Arkansas.
We only have one more week Of

have the same amount, but if either
should have the better, I think it
should be the girls. Cecil Brown, I
