Chicago, Ill, Jan. 6.-Attacking the
present football code as contradictory
and written by men twenty years be-
hind the times, Frank w. Cavanaugh,
head coach of the Dartmouth eleven,
throws the gauntlet square in the face
of Walter Camp, the famous rules ex-
pert.
What football needs at the present
time more than anything else" said
Cavanaugh, lis moi additions to the
rules, but a revision of those under
which the game is being played. The
code never has been intelligently re-
vised since it first was issued, in spite
of the drastic changes which have TAX
en- place in the game itself.
There is not a rule in the book
which is not contraditted, and there
are rules in force which are dead let
tiers.
When the officials made the deci-
sfUn on the Dartmouth Princeton
game, giving the tigers a field goal on
a ball that rolled half the length of
the field before taking a lucky bound
over the bars, makers of the rule up
held them and said. obey the letter Of
the rule"

EMSLIE'S EYES
GOOD ENOUGH

According to Hank O'Day, new man
ager of the Reds. Bob Emslie, the vet
eran umpire, will be just as good a
man behind the mask this year as any
National league umpire. o,Day, who
has worked a great deal with Emslie,
is much amused over the report that
Emslie's eyes are bad and that he will
be pensioned by the league.
Say for me- says Hank. "that
when a man can shoot bluerocks like
Bob he can umpire any game of base.
ball. I found him in Toronto recently
wearing a diamond badge he had Won
In a shoot as high gun. I saw him kill
forty out of forty-ive birds. This
criticism of Emslie is on a par with
a lot of stuff that I have had to stand
during my long career as as umpire
Nothing seems so absurd to the new
manager OF the Reds as to have some
one tell him it is time that the National
league was putting Emslie on the PEN
sion list as the American league did
Jack Sheridan.
o'Day had him for a partner during
two months of last seasons schedule
and found him as efficient in rendering
decisions on the bases as any other
man in the league.
While we were together there was
less kicking made on his decisions than
on any other mar who worked with
me- said O'Day, TN fact, there was
hardly any. OF course, the players
yelled, but they never objected siren
uously. Bob is still a high-class UNI

ATZ THOUGHT is CENTS
TOO MUCH FOR PIERCE.

A queer deal was pulled off by Jack
Dunn and Jakey Atz, the Baltimore
and Providence managers. recently.
They were talking about Pitcher
Pierce. How much would you give
for him?" asked Atz. "Oh, l couldn't
go higher than 10 cents" came back
Dunn.

an agreement which both managers
signed. Dunn handed over Is cents.
Atz looked at it for a moment and then
said: Here, Jack, I've never skinned
anyone yet. Take this back, and I'll
give you a bonus of Is cents The
Providence owner, however, refused to
ratify the agreement.

The first written rules governing
boxing matches, to be used by the
police of any American city have been
prepared by Chief of Police Cowles of
New Haven, Conn. The rules require
the boxer to be al least 10 years of
age; that no gloves lighter than six
ounce shall be used, that there must
be no hitting in clinches and that the
breaks must be clean.
