MANY TRADES EXPECTED At
AMERICAN LEAGUE MEETING
Connie Mack is the Only Mana
ger Who Can Turn Deaf
Ear to Swap Talk

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-One week from
tomorrow, February 13. club owners
of the American league will meet in
the Congress hotel here for the
leagues annual schedule meeting.
Owing to the adoption by the
league OF the plan of adopting two
permanent schedules, one for every
other year. the matter of choosing q
schedule is one of minor importance
and interest centers in the trades
that may be arranged.
The American league clubs which
are most anxious to obtain new play
ers are the st. Louis Browns and the
Washington club, but Manager Con-
ME Mack, of the worlds champion
Athletics is the only manager who
can afford 10 turn deaf ear to all
Swapping" proposals.

BY BILLY EVANS.

Practically every club in the Amer
lean league will depend on one of it's
young twirIers~this year. A surpris-
ingly good lot OF young pitchers was
added to the organization in 1911.
No pitcher has created greater
sensation than Vean Gregg. In his
first year he recorded % victories and
would have made better record but
for bad arm. Cleveland fans are
worrying and wondering IL the injury
will affect Greggs work in 1912.
There Is no doubt that much of the
Maps success will hinge on the show
ing of the sensational southpaw.
In Caldwell, New York appears 10
have a wonder. He knew little OF big
league ball last year but from-the
start showed much ability. He i'm
proved each day and when the season
closed was a high-class pitcher.
Washington has diamond In the
rough in Carl Cashion. This six-footer
has the speed OF Johnson. good curve
and a peculiar, jerky delivery that has
the batter wondering when he intends
to deliver the ball. Under the direc.
ton Of Clarke Griffith, Cashion should
show big improvement
will be a star. Hamilton is a south
paw with a variety, of stuff and nerve
to burn. He rs only 20; SO IL only
natural Wallace should enthuse over
him.
Buck" O'Brien, who came from
Denver last fall and startled the east
by his work with the Red Sox. looks
like a sensation for 1912. Boston is
banking heavily on him.
In Dave Danforth,. from Texas, Con-
ME Mack has kid southpaw who
seems To have the stuff to fill the
shoes OF Eddie Plank. when that vet;
-efan decided to step cut of them
Big Ed LATTE. who showed great
form early in the spring OF 1911, Is
sure TO be one OF the Detroit main
stays.
Chicago fans are hoping that the

Expert Views on the
New Football Rules


AS q result OF the uTdptlC dSlloA
taken by the intercollegiate football
rules committee at is meeting In New
York, he game OF football, as IL Will
be played next fall, will be much more
Interesting. the games Will be fought
and won on their merits, and the eie-
ment OF luck will not be such an Inn
portant factor as 1t has been since the
adoption OF the forward pass and ten
yard rule.
Generally speaking, the changes
mean q lot for the preservation or the
game. They will result In more foot
ball and there will not be SO many OF
the monotonous features which char
acterized last years code. Inc
changes are simple and can be inter
rreted by any one with football ex-
perience. They will be of great help
10 the preparatory school players, who
never have had thorough under
standing Of the old code. AS soon as
they are issued in clearly readable
manner, followers of football Will take
keener interest in the game, and
the contests will be featured by plays
which characterized football before
1906.
Eyerts wrenn, OF Harvard-On the
whole the changes are remarkably
good. The committee handled the
problem in good form and am sure
football next fall will be more inter
esting to spectators and players. Inc
committee made changes which !
never had thought OF and which am
SIRE are going to be OF great help IN
elevating the game.
Lieut.. Hacket, West Pointe-t -
the best thing that has been oone
since the five-yard rule was thrown
into the discard after the fall or lsOo.
To my mind the game has been sim
plified immensely, which is going 10
make IL a whole lot easier TOT tne
ulayers and officials to work In mar
mony. The abolition OF the twenty
ward zone is one OF the best amend
ments because It does away with the
many ouarrels between the players
and officials. Ten yards in, four downs
4 going to result in more rushing and
runninf. a feature which has been con-
spicuous by it's absence since 1905.
Capt. Writing, Chicago university
The changes sound good te=H1ei-
don't know what Mr.. Staggy thinks OF
them, but as long as they have not
abolished the forward pass l think
they will meet with his approval. OF
course, we are not in favor Of the In
creased value OF touchdown, because
Scruby now will have to kick three
field goals to win over a single touch
down. In general l like the amend
ments.
pat Page, former Chicago univer-
sity star.-The changes. TO my mind
will help the game greatly. We need
I cd something TO encourage more foot
ball and discourage forward passing
and kicking. / think the committee
has accomplished this and look for
some OF the football we had before
1906.
Bert Kennedy. football coach Lake
Forest-The alterations are just what
we needed, Under the old game IL
was hard enough for the coach to un'
derstand the rules much less teach
the players the various interpreta-
lions. Ten yards in four downs Is
the change that appeals TO me, al
though the elimination Of the twenty
yard zone was a good move.

quarterback am glad they pre-
served the forward pass. think II
will make much better game for the
