CRIDIRON NEWS CLEANED FROM COLLEGES
RULE CHANGES NOTED

There are several important changes
in the football rules for. 1914 which.
spectators should bear in mind as
they watch today's game on Frank
lin Field. -...
|, Coaches must take seats on the
players benches. They are no longer
permitted to walk up and down the
side lines.
.. The kick-out from the 20-yard
line following the making of safety
or touchback has been abolished.
After such plays the ball must be
put in scrimmage on the 2O-yard line.
3. A fourth official, the field judge.
has been added His appointment,
however, is optional and he will prob
ably be used only in the big games.
He acts as an assistant to the ref
cree and linesman.
4. A player, finding that he cannot
make a forward pass successfully is
no longer permitted to throw the ball
on the ground and claim an "uncom-
pleted' forward pass. This is penal
lied by a loss of 10 yards.
g. Teams are not allowed to en-
croach on the neutral territory in
making shift plays.
g. A free kick which hits the goal
posts and bounds back into the field
becomes r touchback.
:. Hiding player OH the side
lines, under the pretext of fixing his
shoe. where he may be in position
to take long pass to the side and
have clear field for touchdown.
a form OF deception frequently tried
but rarely successful. has been
classed as 'unsportsmanlike con
duct"
The other changes in the rules are
comparatively unimportant and re-
ward pass.

MACKS TO PLAY
LAST GAME WITH
CHICAGO TODAY
Athletics Now Have Clear
Field to Goal-Series De-
tails Will Be Arranged
in This City Wednesday.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 2s--Au doubt as
through with the pennant flying this
year was dispelled when the Red SoX
were smothered by the Browns and Rob-
ert Shawkey was gaining victory here
fJr his champion comrades This after
noon the Macks will show Mt Coniskey
Fark for the last time until next sea-
son. Despite the cold wave. a huge
crowd is expected out today to bid the
Macks farewell
Connie Mack has not been holding his
players back. according to one Of the
tam who is in close touch with the man
aSement, He has been striving to win
every game possible. not only because
they feared the, Red Sox trlhe. but be-
cause they wanted to clinch the flag at
an early date and then do their resting
for the series.
Judging from the way the two clubs
are going in their respective leagues
the Athletics and Braves will officially
win the pennant ut just about the same
time. hence neither will have the ad-
vantage over the other in the matter Of
getting in shape Cor the games.
Ban Johnson has agreed with Garry
Hermann, and the series will not begin
until October 9. Johnson wanted it to
start a day earlier.
Next Wednesday the National Commits
sion will meet in Philadelphia TO arrange
all of the details OF the series. 1t has
already been announced that the sale Of
tickets for the games in Philadelphia
will be left i'm John Shihes hands while
q representative Of the commission will
act as ticket seller general in Boston.

PERSONAL TOUCHES in SPORT

The Boston Red Sox, nursing a faint
pennant hope. tackled the Browns yes-
terday and were thrown back for a 10 to
/ loss.
The Browns broke Walter Johnson's
winning streak last year. They broke
the Washington teams winning streak,
broke Johnson's runless record, beat the
Maps out of the 1908 pennant and have
performed other stunts along the same
lines.
The "pop-eyed" Dodgers have won ten
games in row. Do they think this is
June?
Despite the fact that Lajoie and Wag-
ner have been replaced" by a dozen
youths, it's a pretty safe bet they'll bo
back at their old stations next year.
Stanley Root. the former Penn cross
country champion. who has in late years
been running under the colors of the
Mercury A. c.. has been engaged to as
sist Coach Orton in developing the Red
and Blues hill and dale men. Root Is
great student of the running game and
will be a valuable asset to Penn.
The National Commission will soon
have to change its draft rules, inasmuch
as the importers are now out of business.
If yesterdays crowd at the Phly park
is a fair sample of what is to be for
the rest of the season. Cravath need
have no fear that he will hit any spec
tators with home run drives in the
bleachers.
Either the National Commission or the
Baseball Writer'S Association should
promulgate some definite rule with re-
gard to the leading batsman of the
leagues. 1t is not fair for Ty Cobb to
be awarded this honor year after year
when he participates in so few games,
comparatively speaking. This year Cobb
will not have been in many more than
half the games, while such players as
Eddie Collins and Joe Jackson are in
nearly every contest. Eddie has missed
only one game this year. hence he de-
serves more for batting 1856. for exam-
pie, than Cobb does for hitting at the
rate of 1865. Some definite number OF
games should be set, 1856 would not be
too many. and If a man did not play In
that number of tests he should not be
considered.
