first of series of intercity games to
decide the amateur championship of
the United States. At the st. Mich

Frowned On.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Members of
the National Assoc ,ation of Amateur
Billiard Players gathered today for
their annual meeting, at which a new
constitution and new rules are to be
adopted. While the proposal to
abolish safety play is understood to
have been abandoned, 1t is expected
the new rules will declare safety play
to be contrary to the best interests
of the game. The freezing" of the
billiard balls and the optional respot-
ting of them Is also expected to be
treated in the new rules. 1t is pro-
posed that the referee separate the
balls in contact by passing a thin
card between them, the advocates OF
this rule pointing out that it does not
unnecessarily penalize the player for
close manipulation and nursing-the
highest art of the game. To avoid
appearance of professionalism. 1t is
proposed to limit the expenses any
competitor may receive in connection
with tournament to 81 a day.

will prove wizard as a bench man
ager," says Charles w. Murphy, pres
ident of the National League Base
ball Club, of Chicago, ip a signed
statement made public here today.
Continuing. Murphy declares that
the popularity or unpopularity OF a
manager or owner does not figure IN
the success of a club; it is winning
aggregation that counts with follow
ers of the game.
The local owner intimates that ms
club has been reorganized because
some of the players were going stale
with age.
"The passing of Chance, Tinker

naturally the fans yell their heads
off. But that all comes with the for-

Paddy Green is a newcomer in Zig
league circles; In fact, Green, whose
everyday name is Eugene Grenier,
never had rhe slightest intentions a
year ago this time of being a pro-
fessional pegger. Up in Huntington,
Conn, Grenier was following The
humble profession which made Old
Abe Lincoln strong and husky and
famous. He was a wood-chopper and
a rail splitter.
Green had 1t on Father Abraha m"

is not quite so angular as Old Abe

fact until one day last spring ne was

for which Roger Salmon starred.

he was handicapped by a poor field
ing team to support him when he
went into the box, but Green has a
wonderful splitter, and they say he Is
as tireless and tough as Ed Walsh.
For instance, he took part in eight
games in ten days during one stretch
late in June last year, when the
pitching staff of the Holyoke Club
was not at it's best. He pitched in
parts of games on June 10. 20 and q
and came back twice. on the 29d.
After two days rest he worked as re-
lief pitcher on the 18th, 26th. 9th
and 18th.
Green should make good with the
Yanks. In the first place, Chance
needs a capable emergency finger to
finish games for him, just as Otis
Crandall does for the Giants. The
Yanks already have two spitball
fingers in Mcconnell and Ford. and
If Green holds his own the Chance
combination will boast three capable
damp fling artists. 1t is possible that
the stripping may be called Grenier
by New York scribes, but the chances
are that the original nom de plume
applied by Manager O'Neill will stick
as long as the youngster plays base

A scout for the Giants wanted
Green for McGdraw's clan, and an
offer of $4,000 was made for the
youngster. The Yanks. however. had
the pick of the Holyoke Club in ex-
change for Second Baseman Curry

season of 1912, and Green went to
