TACKLES TO BEAR
BRUNT OF ATTACK
Majority Think They Will Suf-
fer Because of Changes
in Foot Ball Rules.

NEW YORK. September 1:.-Walter
Camps latest variety of foot ball rules
has been accused of being everything
from a return to the old eat 'eIn alive
mass play rules TO being slight modi-
fication, which will have little effect on
the style of play. Actually. a survey OF
the new foot ball laws leads to the be-
lief that the game that will develop I'M
der them will lie a close cousin to that
played in 1909. an invitation to the
tackles to stand up and be killed.
Last years rules favored the defense
to such an extent that scoring was al
most impossible and fiuky In the ex-
treme. 1t appears that in their effort
to strengthen the offense the rule-makers
have gone to the other boundary and
that scoring this year is likely to be
enormous, and that and defense develop
ed will be helpless against heavy,
fairly fast back field, working to gain
ten yards in four downs.
The mass play died when pulling and
pushing man through the line was
abolished. But the tackle now will have
to stand the shock of his opposing for
ward. and then of u heavy man bent on
making two or three yards. He will not,
i'm all probability, get much help from
the secondary defense. To weaken the
defensive backline unduly Will be simply
an invitation to the offense to work the
nowi unrestricted forward pass to its
hearts content.

po Goes to Richmond Tomorrow to Play Last Of teTcy Series
SERIES ENDS
WITH TOMORROW'S GAMES
Pepco Has Only to Win One of Two Con-
tests in Richmond to Decide
Amateur Title.

which has carried it through a very sue
cessful season in the county circuit, while
the All-Stars will have about the same
lineup in the field that has been playing
against Pepco in the two exhibition con-
tests this week
Rockville is anxious to get series OF
games with the Pepco nine, to be started
next week. and every effort will be made
to conclude such arrangements. The
Rockville players claim that Pepco will
not be able to annex the amateur cham
pionship of the south until after they
have been defeated.
Dick Robertson is proving himself
pretty nearly invincible against the local
players Twice in three days he has
pitched we'll enough to defeat a bunch OF
All-Stars and in both OF the games he
was practically unhittable There was
not a time when he did not hold things
just about where he wanted them, leaving
little room for doubt as to which of the
clubs would win.
Robertson has mighty good spit ball,
and he is not afraid to use IT. ANY time
that he gets men on the bags that splitter
is going to be dished up to the batter con-
sistently. and even though he knows what
is coming there is not much likelihood
that the man at the plate will hit 1t eHec-
lively.
Dutch SterZef pitched the game against
the Pepco nine. and he worked well de-
spite the fact that he did not work hard.
Sterzer seldom tried to curve the bail.
There was little at stake, and he could
hold the opposing batters well enough
with only slow and fast ball.
Sterzer has some motion and throw to
first, though, \ base runner on that
bag dare not get farther than hairs
breadth away. If he does there is every
likelihood that he will be caught OFF there
going toward second else standing
still.
AL Handboe certainly looks impressive
in the outfied, even in the limited space
allowed "A fielder at the Independence
Park He is quick to get started after
a ball and is just as fast to judge the
ball. In both the exhibition games Han
dboe went back to the fence and took
balls off it that the majority of players
would nave let go safe and got them on
the rebound. Handiboe is also good
base runner, and. with a little better hit
faster company than the South Atlantic
League.
Sterzer only tried to throw about one
curve yesterday, an dthat was to Myers
Yellow took an awful swing at the
ball and missed it by about two feet.
The whole Pepco team Is in fine shape
for the two games tomorrow. The pitch
ing staff has had almost a complete rest
and the other members of the club are
in Just about as good condition as is pos
sible for the two games.
