STRAIGHT HEATS RULE
ON GRAND CIRCUIT

Free-for-AII Pace at De-
troit Meeting.

DETROIT. September 2O-Seven races,
including fpee-for-all pace. which Bra
den Direct won in straight heats. brought
the grand circuit harness meeting at the
state fair to a close yesterday.
All of the races except the 2.17 trot

race went to the limit and furnished some
of the most exciting struggles of the
afternoon 1t was finally won by DIR.
Thorne.
For the first time since Monday the sun
shone. The track was slow. however, but
despite this surprisingly fast time was
made.
Baden Direct won the first heat of the
free-for-all in 203a4, and the last half
mile was run in 1O0A. Walter Cochato
was at the black horses side all the way
and they raced neck and neck to the fin
ish. Pickles finished strongly in the Sec
ond heat but the winner had too much
speed in reserve.
Geers. driving Marta Bellini, won the
third heat of the 217 trot after DIR.
Thorne had taken the first two. Then
Murphy drove George Rex to victory in
the fourth heat but Shows horse made
victory practically certain by finishing
second He took the final heat by inches
from the black colt.
Peter Billiken had Nata Prime to con-
tend with, but won an impressive victory
in the 211 trot Marietta, a strong favor
lite, did not disappoint her hackers in the
2. pace.

There is hardly any doubt that the
foot ball rules are reaching a status
where they may be considered uniform.
They have been tinkered with. so often
that the game has never had the chance
to develop that base ball has had, but II
the coming season Is successful there Is
not much likelihood of many more changes
IN the present system. About the only
departures from the code now governing
foot ball which may be looked for are
some little Qualification of ambiguous
points and possibly the widening of the
latitude of forward pass play.
If the rules are allowed to remain
pretty much as they are, as seems GER
tain they will be, much improved
game of foot ball may be looked for in
another year or two. The rules have
been changed and twisted around so
often that it has been difficult to do
more than keep pace with them in order
that the sport would not so backward
instead of progress, but to judge from
the seeming satisfactory acceptance OF
the game everywhere, there will be little
room for further alterations in the code.
Undoubtedly there are several little
points in the present system of rules
which might be changed slightly with
out altering at all the general style OF
play and yet improve the sport. Some OF
these will be cleared up next week at the
foot ball meeting to be held in New York,
and then it is most likely that some will
not be changed until another year. What

YANKEES WILL TRAIN
AT HOUSTON, TEX.
MANAGER Chance Pleased With
His Lineup for Next
Season.

NEW YORK, September 30.-Houston,
Tex, will be the training grounds of the
New York Americans next spring. Man
ager Frank Chance announced this yes
terday and at the same time indicated
the probable makeup of next seasons
team.
Chance is greatly pleased with the
showing his club has made since Maisel.
Holden. Whiteman and others came into
the lmelight He declared that what
he needed first of all was fighting club,
and added that he now had one. As an
indication of the spirit of the team, he
cited the example of Williams. who is
now playing with festered finger.
Hes game" said Chance. He's a
fighter and he will be my first baseman
next year" Speaking of the further
makeup of the team, the Yankee pilot
continued:
MY second baseman Will be Rollie
Zeider. Zeider is a grand ball player.
This brings me to Maisel, who Will
surely play third base. Even if he can
hit only 40 I will take him on. because
if nothing happens he will steal more
bases in 1914 than Milan.
I'm regard to shortstop, l like Peckln-
paugh, and / think he will do to COM
plete a fast infield, which will help me
to win half the games next season.
like all the men because they are iast
and have the fighting spirit. The out
field l have not decided upon. l fancy
Whiteman, Holden, Cook and Gihooley
In this outfield makeup do not overlook
Cook He is a fighter, and though
may let him out in the minors for another
year. he will be heard from
Chance said that King Cole will make
:. rraot ,;tchar for him next wear, He
also thinks Rose. the southpaw. will be
valuable man. Rogers. the virginia
League catcher. he expects to develop
into big league material after train
ing down south. Regarding the spring
training camp Chance said: :! tried TO
get San Antonio, but the place was
tied up. Houston. l figured, will give
us fine climate.
Chance said that he had been treated
wonderfully we'll by New York patrons
and press. Il tell you honestly, when
I had seen this club go for two weeks
/ offered my resignation to Frank Far
rell.' he said II told him that | could
not get any base ball out or the puhch
that was handed me-.
Manager Callahan of the chicago
Americans here yesterday with ms
team admitted that the New orhs
were vastly stronger than III midsum
the wonderful speed of Maisel, Gil
hooley, Whiteman and Harry VII
liams. Callahan also had words of
praise for all of Chances new men.
II am glad Zeider Is getting back
into good shape" said Callahan, for
he is a fine player. Peckinpaugh and
Zeider will make a cracking good
combination around second base next
season. Chance is going to have a
fast team, too, with such speeders as
Maisel, Whiteman, Williams and Gill
hooley to bank on. He has pretty
good team right now for that matter.
we never had an idea he could beat
US two out Of three. Why, on the
level. we found the Athletics and the
Washingtons much easier"

NATIONAL COMMISSION
ANNOUNCES FINDINGS
Rehearing Refused in Case OF
Player Sold to
Athletics.

CINCINNATI, September 20.-rhe ma
tional base ball commission yesterda Y
handed down three findings. the most
important of which was the SUSTAINING
Of decision by the national board in
regard to the appeal of the Norfolk
club Of the Virginia State League. The
commission affirmed the decision of the
board in awarding Player Harry Kun
KEEL two full weeks salary. two weeks
half salary and physicians bill, minus

was ordered to settle.
The commission refused rehearing
to the Savannah club in the case of
Player Adams. Adams was sold to the
Athletics OF the American League after
the time limit set by the national

Will stay little longer in the family.
Gordon played the best game he has
ever shown in Washington, according
to his friends who witnessed yesterday
match, and Doyle was forced to display
his best form to win, although he took
the match in straight sets. IS, 6-3.
Cd. Although Doyle has been playing
golf for the past few months. he seems
to be right on edge, and played as good
as ever. His terrific speed was much in
evidence, and he covered his court to
perfection. Although his service was
apparently as hard ever, Gordon
seemed to have mastered it. and Doyle
did not score single ace-something
unusual for him. Gordon won the first
game Of set No. |. and then lost the
nexL four He took the sixth and
the attack made upon him in the next
two, scoring but two points.
In the second set he played Doyle even
until the fourth game, when Doyle copied
two. The seventh fell to him, but again
Doyle put on steam and went out. In the
third and deciding set, Gordon took the
first, but after losing three came back
strong and evened things up with two
more wins. 1t was at this stage of the
game that Doyle determined to end mat
ters for he speeded up and played like
q demon, taking three of the next four
and thereby gaining the decision. The
card for the match was:
