CHANGES MAY Be
MADE IN RULES
Of FOOTBALL

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Whether
the sentiment of the public de-
mands that football players wear
numbers on their backs, so that
spectators may tell at a glance the
identity of the player, is the most
important matter which will come
up before the annual meeting of
the football rules committee,
which is to be held here tomor-
row and Saturday, at the Hotel
Martinique. Football experts who
gathered here today to attend the
meeting were about evenly divid-
ed on the question. Those who
will favor the plan declared that
the change would mean a vast in
crease of interest by the general
public in the gridiron sport. Dele
gates who are here today said
they believe few changes will be
made this year in the playing
rules.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5. - The
Winter league is rapidly passing
out, but If anyone has single
doubt as to 1t having been there
with the wallop one look over
the field, Uttered with former
presidents, and punctured ranks
of major league clubs, with club
owners watching in the offing
will give the answer.
Within a few weeks the ball
clubs will be in the South putting
in their first ticks of training.
Bat bags are even now being
packed. Within ten days the
New York Giants will begin to
gather in st. Louis for their an
nual pilgrimage to Marlin, Tex.
Many are the young men who
are beginning to feel that the ca
reer they had mapped out for
themselves may not be half as
good as it looked in November
and December when they retired
from the game. They will be
angling for contracts. It's two
months yet before the season
opens, but the night is drawing
to a close. The clouds are about
to break, and when they do, make
way for the Old King Swat. 1t

If the Moose can come to terms

This has been one of the dingin-

others are known to have jumped

John had told the national COM

clearly as his revered ancestor,

summoned to another conference.
Again the feud started. Johnson

Then up rose John Henry again.

VERNON WANTS REST

Although Tex Vernon will prob
ably be induced to appear at the
next Moose smoker, he writes to
the sporting editor of this paper
that he is not anxious to box any
body before he meets Jimmy Fox
on the 18th of Ireland.
The articles with Fox are not
signed as yet, Dut there is no
doubt that the match will go
through, unless Fox is DESTROYS Of
backing out.
Evidently Fox and some other
wiseacres tried to slip something
over on Vernon, but It failed to
pan out. Fox claimed that he was
an unknown youth from the wilds
of Minter, Washington, whereas
he is really one of the games
leading fetherweights. He boxed
Johnny Kilbane six rounds in
Oakland last June. and has met

BY HUGH FULLERTON.

Just how near organized base
ball." the American. and Nation
al leagues, came to utter wreck
and ruin and how the overthrow
Of the autocratic power of the
national commission was averted,
few know.
The man who prevented this
cataclasm was big, quiet John
Henry, descendant of Patrick
Henry, and catcher for the Wash
ington baseball club. But for him
the national commission would
have played into the hands of the
Federals, and driven hundreds of
their best players to the OUTLAW"
league.
This is the story:
The Federal league had been
quietly planning its comprehen-
sive campaign. 1t was striving to
secure the sympathy and active
aid OF the players organization.
The National and American
league owners and the national
commission pooh-poohai the idea
of q rival league. The ball play
ers, through their president, Dave
Foutz, had made certain demands
Of the national commission which,
after scornfully rejecting Foutz
grudgingly agreed to permit him
to appear before its august body
Foutz and b. B. Johnson are bit
ter foes. Johnson at first refus-
Cd to have anything to do with
anyone represented by Foutz, but
finally consented to hear a COM
mittee of players, and to let Foutz
come with them. Among the men
choesn by the players to represent
them was John Henry.
No one ever heard John Henry
make a speech. His oratorical eff
forts are confined to an occasion
al remark to an umpire. He was
not supposed to make a speech.
The players representatives
and the national commission met.
The result was that instead of
discussing grievances. the meet
ing became a personal row be-
tween Johnson and Foutz. The
commission was willing to grant
certain demands, the players
ready to yield others. But the
feud of Foutz and Johnson pre-
vented. Adjournment was taken

the clever Eddie Campi five times.
Although Vernon is aware of
the fact that he is stacking up
against one of the best little men
of his weight In the ring, he Is
willing to go through with the
match. The men are to go ten
rounds at Aberdeen on st. Pat
rick's day. A side bet of $500 is
up.
Vernon Is going to be in the
best possible shape for his bout
with Fox. II 1t can be done, he
is going to secure Joe Hill to spar

New Duties for Walter Lindner
Chosen Chairman of the Legislative and Laws Com
mittee Composed of Attorneys of the Advisory Coun
Gil of Real Estate Interests of This City.

This committee will meet on Monday
afternoons to consider constructive or
existing legislation affecting real estate
interests. or the repeal of oppressive
real estate legislation, while during the
Legislative session attentive and an
alytic study of proposed legislation will
be maintained.
The committee has recommended that
the Advisory Council Immediately en-
deavor through the committee to secure
n change in the recent income tax de-
cision of the Treasury Department, to
the effect that Indebtedness secured by
mortgage upon property to which the
corporation has taken or is taking title
or in which it has an equity, IS the
indebtedness of the corporation, and
that interest payments on such indebt-
edness cannot be deducted except to
the extent that the whole amount OF in
terest paid upon bonded or other in
debtedness does not exceed an amount
paid upon a sum not in excess Of the
paid up stock outstanding at the close
of the year. The original decision OF
the Attorney General under the former
corporation tax law, permitting deduc-
lions from the income tax returns for
the interest paid by corporations, upon
mortgages covering their property,
when not made or assumed by the cor
poration, has been modified and super
coded by this late decision which the
committee believes is notin accordance
with the language of the act.
