TODAY'S GAME.
Seaton VS.. Observation-Disclosures game.
Seaton, by hitting Chisholm hard in the
pinches, succeeded in defeating the Park

ting down to work, and by the middle of
next week better games will be played.
Lou Hiser, playing third base for the
Park outfit yesterday, starred with the
willow, getting four safe smacks out of
as many trips to the plate.
Rider, for Park, put up a great game in
short. taking care of four chances with
out a msplay. One of the drives he cap
tured looked good for a triple.
Pop Saunders. playing first base for the
winners, slammed the ball to deep left
field for homer in the opening session,
with two on the sacks. 1t was a mighty
clout.

YESTERDAYS GAME.
Car Department, 10. Station, S.
No game today.

Station blew up completely in the sixth
inning Of yesterdays game against Car
Department and six errors and four hits
sent seven runs over the pan. The Sta
honites gradually crept up in the final
rounds, but fell two shy at the finish
Errors were too numerous to make the
game a good one. +. Sullivan at short
messed up five of his chances and Pugh
u charged with three black ones. As
the grounds are in good shape and are
conceded by many to be the best anna
teur playing grounds in the city, ii is

all the teams is so poor.

CAMP THINKS CHANGES
WILL BE LASTING.
Excellent Chances for New Offensive
Plays in Gridiron Game.

New Haven, Conn, Feb. 4.-Walter
Camp. athletic advisor of Yale, stated
tonight that he thought the change in
the rules made by the football rules
committee the one move that could be
taken to make the rules of the game
permanent, In speaking of the changes
he said;
The changes had TO be very marked
in order that the offensive team be
given a better chance. When the game
is taken up again the plays will be
more brilliant. Under the new rules
there are some excellent chances for
great plays. The scoring will be easier
and there will be more running. We
have allowed the blocking of the ends
going down under kick. This is an
important step. 1t allows hacktield
man making the catch to make some
very pretty plays. The increase Of the
value of a touchdown from five to six
points Is another step in favor Of the
running game. The elimination Of the
20 yard zone is in my mind a splendid
move toward the general sinplification
Of the game. The changes were neces-
ssrily marked but they help in the gen
eral simplihcation of the game. We
have been hoping each year that rules
from the time they were changed
would be permanent. With the pres
ent changes the game will bring out
more running and is generally sin1bh-
fed"

COnIey, Rival Bantam, Beaten at the
End of 20 Fierce Rounds.

Johnny Coulon Of Chicago success
fully defended his title as bantam
weight champion by winning from
Frankie Conley of Kenosha, Wis, at
the end of 20 rounds Of fierce fighting
In the Vernon arena, Los Angeles, Cal,
on Saturday. Coulon landed five blows
to Conley's one, but did not seem to
possess the strength Of his opponent.
Conley was sight at the close Of the
fight, his face being cut in half dozen
places and both eyes nearly closed
AS early as the third round Conleys
face was cut from Coulon's singing
punches, but every round found him
boring in, head down, taking a half
dozen blows for the sake of getting in
one In return. Conley's punches when
they landed shook the champion to his
toes, and he frequently gave ground
before Conley, who often found, how
ever, terrific punch waiting for him
when he pursued too eagerly.
The fight see sawed through the 20
rounds, the ma joritv going to the
champion. The battle ended with the
men fighting head to head in clinch.
Conleys mouth was badly cut and both
eyes nearly closed.

When Young Culver, an ethiopian

ponent Young Monty, of this city,

cosR's FIRST TRICK
GOT HIM THE CAN.
Knocked Down the Ball While Rum
ming Bases.

In 1904 Ty Cobb was begging for a
chance with the team at his home
town. Augusta, Ga. Con Struthers was
managig the team. Struthers gave Ty
a chance and Ty was canned when he
iumed into the air while running
bases, knocked down a ball which had
been thrown to catch him, and was
called out for interference. He drew
hos release about ten minutes later.
The next year Cobb got another chance
with Augusta and he made good. Ow-
ing to an arrangement Augusta had
with Detroit, whereby the former team
was permitted to use Pitcher Cicotte,
with the understanding that Detroit
was to get good man at the end OF
the season. Cobb became a Tiger in
the fall of 1905. In 1905 he didn't show
any too much class and in the spring
of 1907 was offered to Cleveland for
Elmer Flick, because the Detroit peo-
pie said he was disorganizer. Cleve-
land refused to make the trade. Flick
is now warming the Maps bench, while
Cobb is the real sensation of the

FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL,
IRREGULAR MOVEMENT.
Unimportant Changes on a Light Vol
ume of Trading.

New York, Feb. 4-Transactions in
stocks in the two hours of business
were light in volume on an irregular
movement Of prices that showed unim-
portant changes at the close, small net
losses predominating among the lead
ing issues. There was no inclination
among traders to make new commit
ments on either side Of the speculative
account, while there was no evidence
of operations by commission houses
for the public and no indication of act
i've interest in the market by the So
called big men. The general course OF
speculation was without any semblance
of snap. Most of the buying repre-
sented covering by the shorts, but pur
chases were not effective at any time
IN giving prices anything In the ma
ture of a boost.
Wall street is not looking for an act
i've speculative movement in the i'm
mediate future, owing to the unwilling
ness Of the pliblic to come into the
market and the attitude of bankers
who believe there Is no use in making
efforts to induce outside buying pend
ing the elimination of the various I'M
certaint1es in the current situation,
chiefly in the political situation, which
includes a presidential campaign, tariff
tinkering by the democrats, the inves-
tigation Of the United States Steel COR
poration by the Stanley committee and
efforts of militant congressman who
want to make a good impression with
their constituents to convince the
world at large that Wall street is a
nest of corruption and a home Of pred
atory bankers. Our bankers are not
throwing fits over the activities of the
Washington statesmen but the po-
litical agitation against our corpora
tons is hurting our industries.

Hartford, Feb. 4.-R. G. GetteH, for

said today that he was much dtsap-
pointed with the rules adopted by the

1T means a reversion to the old

tack will be inclined to hold on to the
ball rather than take any chances with
the forward pass. however much the
play may be facilitated. The oense
has been greatly strengthened and 1
look for large scores with little variety
in the game. A team Only slightly
superior to its opponents will be able
TO retain the ball and make steady
progress by old fashioned football.
Kicking will again become almost ex-
clueively a defensive play The field
gosl is almost as good as obsolete
since three of them are now required
to Offset one touchdown and goal. /

is intended to make the comparative
values of the touchdown and the goal
from the field substantially what they
were before the recent high develop
ment Of the latter play. Including the
addition of an extra down, the ques-
ton arose as to whether it would not
bring back the old pounding attack,
but the committee felt that it was not
likely to have that tendency in view
of the fact that there was now no
pushing and pulling In the game.
One of the minor changes in the
rules will be a provision that the loser

The football rules committee, which
has been working in secret in New

suggestions for altering the game,
came to unanimous decision late Sat
urday in favor Of several fundamental
changes.
The committee laid down it's aduous
task in the belief that it had greatly
improved the popular college sport. The
lines of Its anticipated Improvement
are in substance as follows:
THE playing field, now 10 yards
in length, will be shortened to an even
100 yards. This change in itself is not
vital, but it is made in order to make
possible on small grounds an extern
sion of territory in which the forward
pass may be used

the goal lines is set apart and in this
