MAJORS COMBINE To
FIGHT FEDERALS
APPEAL TO COURT ON PLAYERS
JUMPING COSTRACTS--RE-
SERVE RULE AGAIN.

NEW YORK, dec. GA combina-
ton Of American and National league
interests has been arranged for the
purpose OF fighting the Federal league
promoters in various ways. The most
important move against the so-caiIed
outlaws will be court proceedings in
the shape of applicants for intunctions
from the Federal and State courts re-
straining ball players from jumping
contracts. signed with American and
National league clubs last year, which
contained the much discussed reserve
clause.
Several National league men, in
Guiding G. w Murphy, OF the Cubs,
assert that former President Of the
United States. William II. Taft. re-
Gently was asked TO pass upon the
legality of the reserve clause by his
brother. Charles +. Taft, part owner
of the Chicago Cubs, and he an
nounced that in his opinion reserved
players could he restrained from en-
s,rrtst+1ss tfrtt baseball pre-
motors for the season of 1914.
During the struggle between the
National league and the brotherhood
in 1880. the reserve rule was declared
Illegal in a decision handed down by
former Supreme Court Justice Nor
gan j. O'Brien as result of in
junctir T. proceedings instituted by the
New York club against John M.
Ward.
In those DAYS the National league
contract contained clause reserving
the services of a player without his
consent In the present form OF con-
tract the player sells an option on
his services in return for twenty-five
per cent OF the salary.

FOR FORWARD PASS

AND GIVE VARIED PLAY.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.~-H C. Byrd.
writing in the Washington star of to-
day, proposes the elimination Of the
ward pass to be five yards back. In
advocating the change he says:
"A change in one rule. in football
would open the game considerably and
would give the forward pass play al
most unlimited possibilities. At pres
ent a forward pass cannot be made
unless the man throwing the ball is
at least Ave yards back of the line
OF scrimmage, and IL this restriction
should be lif.ed il would lend to the
play much greater effectiveness and
give the offense at least so per cent
more strength.
zone of the great drawbacks to the
success of the forward pass as II is
now used is the fact that il can he

servant defensive man just when 1t is
to be made, II is the easiest kind of
a matter TO watch the hackheld and

Suppose all restrictions are removed
from the forward pass and tits all

what great variety OF plays and open
work would be seen. At all times the
defense would have to guard against
the pass even though half the field had
been covered by 8 run. This would
give the game possibilities never be-
fore known, and would probably result
in making the offense entirely too
strong for the defense. Suppose, then.
that the forward pass be limited to
any point behind the line of scrim-
mage. That would do away entirely
with any knowledge the defense might
have as to when IL was to be tried, and

WESTERN HEMLoCK AMONG
MOST VALUABLE WOOD

Western hemlock, says the Depart
ment of Agriculture, deserves a better
opinion and more general use than 1T
now obtains. Intrinsically it is
among the most important of western
woods.
The wood of western hemlock has
generally been considered an inferior
one chiefly because of the preJudlce
created by the name, which has caused
it to be identified with eastern hem
lock. Tests by the forest service, low
ever. show it to nave So per cent the
strength of Douglas fir, one of the
countrv,s chief construction timbers.
In fact it is often mixed with Doug
las fir and used for the same purposes.
The wood is practically free from
pitch. has a handsome grain, takes
paint and stain well and works
smoothly. 1t is suitable for sash n
door stock, furniture, interior finish,
framing. flooring, boxes, barrels and
pulp. In bridges and t~restles it can
be used for all but the heaviest con.
struetion. When properly treated
with preservatives, it is a valuable
cross tie and poll wood.
According to Forest Service Bulle-
tin lis. the best stands of western
hemlock are found in the coast region
and through the Cascade mountains.
The bulletin further gives the results
of tests by which the mechanical prop
critics of western hemloek have been
determined, and tells of the different
uses to which the wood is adapted.
