L. S. U. AND TULANE NOT
TO MEET IN FOOTBALL

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. Tulane and
Louisiana State university football teams
VIII not meet in a contest on the grid
iron in 1913
After several weeks of uncertainty, dur
ing which time the question has been
discussed at length and all solutions of
the problem guessed at, the final word
has come.
The first intimaton that the annual
game had been discontinued came upon
the publication. several weeks ago, of the
football schedule for 1913 of l.. S. L. No
game with Tulane was inscribed upon this
classic page, and Immediately all Louisi-
ana wanted to know about it and the
reasons, if any
At this stage of the game it was de-
clared by authorities of both colleges
that the game had not positively been
called off, and that both were endeavoring
to come to some conclusion whereby a
post-season game might be staged. Thus
the ''rooters" were kept in suspense for
several weeks longer
Financial differences, it is said, are the
main reason for calling off the annual
classic. L. s. L. refused to guarantee the
amount asked by Tulane to warrant the
latters going to the Capital City for
post-season game.

THROWING
BACkSTOP IS
JIM ARCHER
BY Bill Bailey.

" HICAGO. Feb. Jimmy Ar
cher is considered by many
managers to he the most
wonderful throwing catcher seen in
the American game for many
many Years.
But Il fluctuations We're kept on
the different receivers in their peg
gins to second and third and the
number Of men each one caught,
Jimmy would probably not stand
highest in the National league. This
is because he doesn't set 50 many
chances as other catchers
II So happens that clark Griffith
is the best newspaper mans mana
ger in the jor leagues. There
are other managers whose skill
lands their clubs higher in the
races. but there is none who knows
what really interests the fans so
much and gives it to the scribes as
the Old Fox.
Griffith says Archer is the king
bee of the catchers He1has watch
ed Jimmy's pegging and has doped
it out that more than 90 per cent Of
his throws catch runners. Where
fore he issued mandate that none
of his players on the Cincinnati
club during the seasons of 1910 and
1911 should try to steal when Ar
cher was receiving for the Cubs.
At the start of 1910 this order
was given to the Reds. Robert
Bescher, of London, Ohio. one of
the rednosed warriors and the best
pilferer of bases in the older cir
cult was included IN the list: in
fact, Griffith went into a detailed
discussion with BesCher about the
former Tigers throwing abilities.
OF course. Bobby de Bosch" as
the mighty outfelder of the Reds
is known in yorktown, did not be-
iieVe his boss was right. He tried
to steal several times during the
earlier weeks of that year on
Archer and always came to grief.
Finally he had to acknowledge
the value of that wing and ever
after that he would make bluffs to
steal. but always lodged back to
the bag.
The great value of Archer to the
Cubs, therefore, can easily be seen.
He doesn't have to call for many
waste balls. The twirlers Just
shoot them over and feel safe.
1t doesn't matter to Jimmy where
the ball comes He can peg them
just as quick whether they are in
the groove or shoestring offerings.
To the ordinary fan this doesn't
seem so much of a difference. But
to a player, and especially "A catch
er, who perhaps has a wild HEAVIER
in the box it is a wonderful advan-
tage.
Chance took Archer after Jen-
nings had turned him down. Chance
allowed him to receive the pitch
ing slants while in his famous
crouch. which, by the way. was the
principal thing Jennings said he
held against him

Representative Willis Would Ex-
tend Jurisdiction of Interstate
Commerce Commission.

tend Jurisdiction of Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Washington, Especial.
sion O.. the jurisdiction of the in
ter-State Commerce Commission
over intro-State rates on inter
State railroads in accordance with
suggestions in the Minnesota rate
decision, will be proposed in a bill
now being prepared by Represent
alive Willis, of Ohio, a Republican
member of the House Interstate
and Foreign Commerce Committee.
The basic principle of this
measure will beothe right of Con-
gress to control absolutely the in
strumentalities Of Interstate CON-
merce, even to the extent Of regu-
lating the rates in each State. Such
is Representative Willis interpret
tation of what the Supreme court
held in the Minnesota rate cases
to be within the power of congress.
The bill may be patterned after
the Federal Safety Appliance acts.
Since the decision in the Minneso-
Ia rate cases, these laws have been
pointed to as instances where Con-
gress has seen fit to exercise it's
jurisdiction in State matters, be-
cause these matters concern, the
instrumentalities of Interstate
commerce. In a safety appliance
decision about a year ago the Su-
preme court held the laws applied
to cars on an Interstate road, al
though the cars we're carrying
commerce originating and ending
within the State of Alabama.
Bitter opposition to the Willis
bill is regarded as certain to arise
both in the House and Senate.
Senator Newlands, chairman of
the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee, takes the position that
the States are handling the rate
question so satisfactorily that the
Federal government would not be
justified by interfering by exercis-
ing its powers as outlined by the
Supreme court.
