DISASTROUS YEAR,
BASEBALL LEAGUES
Majors and Minors Suffer Alike on Account of Small
Attendance and Postponed Games Chicago Cubs
May Break Even-Federas Expected to Finish
Season 100000 to the Bad
Richmond Times-Dispatch.)

(IIICuuOQQ / lmeS-DlSpatcn.)
With the season more than half
over, it seems a certainty that the ma
jority of the magnates in the National,
American and Federal leagues win
suffer losses that may reach a total
of 100000 while the minor league
losses will add probably 100000 to
$150,000 to that sum.
1914 will be written on the pages
as the most DISASTROUS year in the his
tory Of the national game, due to small
attendance, huge salaries and many
postponed games.
But in what a difference spirit do
the magnates take these losses! In
the American and National leagues
where the majority of owners have
been used to reaping in huge profits
each year, the losses peeve and fret
them and cause them to utter harsh
sounding words ever and anon. The
magnates in the Federal league, how
ever, take their losses laconically-
almost cheerfully. They entered into
the business knowing they would lose
money in their first year out. So it is
no surprise or disappointment to find
the outlay larger than the income. In
fact, they seem gleeful over the fact
that their losses are not as large as
they had anticipated.
In the National League only the
Giants seem to have made money I'D
to this writing, and their earnings so
far are said to be only half of those
for the same period in the past three
years.
NuDS Ma! Tome UuC EEens
If the Cubs can keep up their pres
ent pace, and act as runners up for
the leaders, they may get through the
season with only a small loss, or may
even break a few thousand dollars
ahead of the game. This condition
was not thought possible six weeks
ago, because the Cubs were in a rut
and the Windy City fans had declared
boycott on them. But since they
have performed a Comeback" the fans
are fiocking to see the Chicago ath-
letes in action again.
Despite the game fight being made
by the Cardinals, and their high posi-
ton in the race during the first three
months, it is unlikely that they will
escape without a loss. But it will be
less than in other years, and much
less than the Cardinal owners expect
ed when the Feds invaded the town.
The Reds drew well when they were
considered among those present, but
since they slumped, the attendance
both at home and abroad, has been
small, and Garry Herrmann's banG
looks to lose $4,000 or so.
Pirates May Lose $4,000.
The Pirates made money earlier in
the year, but since the slump the fans
have quit paying money to look them
ever, and Barney Dreyfuss may have
to suffer $4,000 loss for this year

Pirates May Lose $4,000.

The Pirates made money earlier in
the year, but since the slump the fans
have quit paying money to look them
ever, and Barney Dreyfuss may have

The Dodgers will be certain losers.
The total may reach 100000. They
haTen't been in the race from the out
set, have not drawn we'll either at
home or on the road, and the pay roll
is top heavy.
The Boston Braves are another team
that has top heavy pay roll and
whose receipts have been pitifullv
small from the outset of the season.
The Hub City fans expected much from
the Brayes-went so far as to hope
they would mix in the worlds series
games. But the Braves got away to a
miserable start and they can't seem to
hit their stride.
The Phillies have been doing better
in an attendance way than was looked
for at the beginning of the season.
when the Feds seemed to have wreck
ed their club. But even at that, the
Phillies will do well if they quit the
season under a $4,000 loss. The homo
town fans attended in fairly large
numbers when the season first opened
and the Phillies showed surprising
form, but since the slump it's a differ
ent story.

COACH
WILL BE BENCHED
FOR NEXT SEASON
No One But Officials Will Be
Allowed to Wander Up and
Down Side Lines
RULES REGARDING ROUGH
PLAYING ARE AMENDED
Field Judge Is Also To Be
Brought Back to Help
Conduct the Games
RULES REGARDING ROUGH
PLAYING ARE AMENDED

The football coach has been
"benched." While games are in pro-
gress during the next season he will
be politely but firmly requested to
take a seat on the side-lines with the
other substitutes and play the role Of
an interested spectator. The last
privilege Of the gridiron boss has
been removed in the 1914 rules. No
one will be allowed to walk up and
down the side lines save officials
and linesmen.
There are many Changes in the
playing code for next season, the
| principal ones being alterations In
the rules governing the forward
pass, "roughing" the fullback and
tripping. The interpretations which
were passed at the officials meetings
last fall also have been incorporated
In the rules.
In order to facilitate the handling
Of big games. the field Judge Is to
be brought back. He will act as as
sistant to the referee and linesman
in the larger contests but. on ac-
count of the expense at small games,
the addition OF this official is left
optional
"Roughingr the fullback after a
kick has been changed to "roughing
the kicker" This was done TO pre-
vent penalizing a man who happens
to run against the kicker In an at.
tempt to block punt. II deiiber.
ate attempt is made to infdre the
kicker, however. the penalty remains
the same as before. A rule also ID
added putting penalty on man
who roughs a player who has just
made forward pass.
! A rule which will excite some com
ment Is that which governs the for
ward pass out OF bounds. According
to the 1914 code. a forward pass that
goes out of bounds on the fly or
after II has been touched by an eligi-
BILE player of either side goes to
the opponents at the point where the
ball crossed the side line. Another
Important alteration prevents q man
making q forward pass from throw
ing the ball to the ground intention
ally when he sees that he cannot
make the play. The trick was clev
erly worked last year. for the throw
er's side would lose only one down
the ball going back to the place
where II was scrimmaged This Is
now prevented by a 10-yard penalty
measured from where the ball was
put into play.
When kicked ball Except one
scoring goaD strikes the opponents
goal bar OF posts and bounds back
into the field OF play II becomes au
dramatically a touchback..
In one OF the important games last
year a player failed TO diagnose be
tween an ordinary punt In the fielt
and free kick hitting the goal post
This mistake cost his team e safety
and in order to avoid complication
OF this kind the rules have been al
tered so that free kick hitting thu
goal posts and bounding back into th'
field Of play becomes touch-bacl
: the same as an ordinary punt.
The kickout has been abolished
After q touchback or safety the bal
must be put into play by scrim
mage on the 20-yard line.
A clause also Is inserted to includ'
Gripping by hands" under the rule
which formerly covered only tripping
with the foot or leg.
