For sixth-placers Harry Sweets In

for Frank Boyle and the penant hopes
OF his aspiring Muskies. With Nc
Collough holding down the slab, they
grabbed bob-tailed fray from the
Rebels yesterday a second before old
Jupe Pluv interviewed. The score was
to 1, and the game lasted exactly
four and one-half innings, two min

A dash OF rain had been sprinkled

however, and the teams went on the
field with a respectable crowd pres
ent considering the unsettled state
OF the weather.
BY the time the Muskies were going
to bat in their half of the fifth the
sky cut loose again. The downpour
was gentle just as long as the visitors
were at bat, but when the side had
been retired and the first Indian swat
ter, Mccullough, was threatening to
do something with his stick, water be-
gan to fall in torrents. Glenalvin call

Numerous Changes Appear In 1915
Playing code-Gridiron Boss
Loses HIs Last
Privilege.
ELIMINATE RoUGHNEss
Important Changes Are Made In tho
Forward Pass-kickout
Has Now Been
Abolished.

The football coach has been bench
ed. While games are in progress dur
ing the next season he will be polite
ly but firmly requested to take seat
on the side lines with the other sub
stitutes and play the role Of inter
ested spectator. The last privilege Of
the gridiron boss has been removed
in the 1914 rules, which came out yes
terday. 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
rules governing the forward pass.
"roughing" the fullback and tripping.
The interpretations which were pass
ed at the officials meeting 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 assis-
tant to the referee and linesman in
the larger contests, but, on account OF
the expense, at small games. the addi-
ton of this ofiicia1 is left optional
"RouehIns' CUE Out.
''Roughing" the fullback, after a
kick has been changed by ''rough!ng
the kicker" This was done to pre-.
vent penalizing man who happens
to run against the kicker in an at.
tempt to block a punt. II deliberate
attempt is made to injure the kicker,
however. the penalty remains the
same as before. A rule also is added
putting a penalty on a man who
roughs player who has just made
forward pass.
A rule, which will excite some COM
ment is that which governs the for
ward pass, one Of bounds, on ny or
after 1t has been touched by an eligi-
BILE player Of either side, goes to the
opponents at the point where the ball
crossed the sideline. Another impor-
tant alteration prevents q man max
ing forward pass from throwing the
ball to the ground Intentionally when
he sees he cannot make the play.
The trick was cleverly worked last
year, for the thrower's side would
lose only one down, the ball going
back to the place where It was scrim-
mayed. This is now prevented by q
ten yard penalty measured from
where the ball was put into play.

REBELS PLAN TO

EXPECT TO PREVENT HuRETs
AND HIS CABINET FROM Es-
GAPING FROM CAPITAL.
carranza's Soldiers Cut in Between
Mexico City and Vera Cruz, the
Plan Being to Cut of All Hope
of Escape Of Federal Leaders.

Washington.-Railroad communities
tion between Mexico City and Vera
Cruz is menaced by constitutionaliss
forces, Brigadier General Funston re-
ported Wednesday to the war depart
ment.
From sources in touch with the
coDstitutionalist agency here 1t was
learned the object of the activity of
Carranza's troops in Vera Cruz state
is to cut off, if possible, all means OF
retreat for Huerta and his cabinet in
case they determine to quit the cap
ital. The constitutionalist forces in
Vera Cruz state7-rumbering about g.
900, are said to be disposed so that
they might be able to cut not only
the railroad between Mexico City and
Vera Cruz, but also the line between
the capital and Puerto Mexico.
The forces are under command Of
General Aguilar and his chief of stan
is Colonel Perez Romero, a brother
in-law of the late President Madero.
1t had been understood here that
South American mediators are pre-
pared to make an appeal for Huerta's
personal safety in the event his gov
eminent collapses before the conclu-
sion of the Niagara conference.
Administration officials were not
alarmed over threats to cut commun-
ication between Mexico City and the
gulf ports, because virtually all Amer
scans who wanted to leave the capital
and nearby interior points, have
sought places of safety some time ago.
