ED. WALSH LEAVES
 FOR SPRING TRAINING Expects Good Season This Year for He Is in Good Trim.

Big Ed. Walsh has left for Spring field thence to Chicago, via Albany, to join the squad which will leave for California to do their spring train ing stunts. It was rumored around the snowball league circles that the famous spithall artist would be a Fed eraI league recruit, but Ed denied this report shortly after it had gain ed circulation in the sporting pages of the metropolitan dailies.
 Walsh said that he expected a good season, for he is in fine trim. The old spitba1l tosscer will probably en- joy the balmy breezes of sunny Cal ifornia after the chilly winds of the Nutmeg state, and a month or two of baking in the land of oranges will probably bring him rapidly back into condition. Since Ed put the damper on the "bulI-pen" work he has brought his arm back to something like Its former state. For a time Walsh fig ured the salary wing was made of iron, and was tossing the sphere all afternoon, ready to go in at a mo- ment's notice. Since he cut this con stant strain out his arm has slowly proved it's ability to again rake in the shekels by tossing the ball sun ningly across the plate. and enabling Ed to keep on the salary roll.

FOOTBALL COMMITTEE TO MEET
In New York, Feb 6-Changes in Rules Expected-Water Camp of Yale Advocates Additional Field Judge-Oth- CT Changes Suggested.

New York. Feb. 5.-The annual meet ing of the intercollegiate football rules committee will be held in this city to- morrow for the purpose of making such changes in the playing rules for the season of 1914 as may be consid- cred desirable by a majority of the committee. There appears to be 8 difference of opinion among the four teen members relative to the necessity for alteration and substitution in the present code.
 Chairman Edward K. Hall. represent ing Dartmouth, has stated that few radical changes appear likely. Prof. A. A. Stagg of Chicago university is on his way east with a list of some 20 add proposals which he desires to see incorporated in the code. Walter Camp of Yale states that intercollegiate foot bali has reached a high state of per lection and, while satisfactory to a majority of the colleges, there is still room for much further development. MT. Camp will advocate the addition of a field judge to the present. corps

of football officials. He believes that the quick plays, kickc and forward passes are too many and complicated Ter the present referee and umpire.
 Parke H. Davis of Princeton will in all probability advocate the numbering of the players, and will be supported by a number of the western college representatives. A proposal to reduce the value of a field goal undoubtedly will be advocated, or to grade it's value in points, depending upon the distance from which it is kicked. Other more technical changes, such as moving the goal posts back, altering the rule which keeps ball in play after striking the post from a kickoff and requiring a linesman to have both bands, both feet or one hand and one foot on the line of scrimmage will also be considered. A change is also likely in the rule which makes it possible for a runner, who is forced backward in attempting to circle the ends. to throw the ball to the ground for an uncompieted forward pass, thus nullifying the loss of ground.

The Hardest Raee Ever Ran,


 At the Star Athletic club grounds. Long Island City, April g. 1892. Nick Cox of Bristol England. defeated Con rad Marks of Staten Island in a ten mile race for $500 side in 55m 30 1-2s. I had defeated Cox in 8 hard fought, two mile race. at White Plains. N.

 Schardien accepted this challenge fee of the New York World to run three miles for $500 side. May 20, 1892 in New York city. I trained for this race at Elizabeth. N. l., while Cox, who was engaged at that time in training the Columbia college athletes at the old Manhattan A. C. grounds on Eighth avenue, took his exercise on that track. Knowing Cox to be hard man to beat@L trained faith fully and was soon in fine condition. I was very anSiouS 10 win this race, as my finances as well as those of Schardien were rather low. and this anxiety so worked upon my nerves that it finally affected my appetite: and decided on the day of the race to dine on soft boiled eggs. instead of eating meat, and this nearly proved my undoing. The eggs did not prove to be remarkably fresh and were the means of causing me to suffer intense agony during the race.
 We left Elizabeth for New York about two o'clock D. m. accompanied by a delegation of sporting men, and arrived at the grounds about { o'clock, D. m. where we found 9 great crowd of students and sporting men assem- bled to witness the race. Cox ruled

SENSATIONAL CATCH
By Ty Cobb Against the Athletics.


 Toward the end of July, in the 1911 season, the famous Detroit team visit ed Philadelphia to engage the Athletics in a series of games which, it was believed, would have great bearing on the championship for that year, first place, with a small lead on the Athletics. On the first day a double header took place. It was during the first game that the memorable play was executed.
 The game was growing well on innings, yet neither team had sue ceeded in forcing even a single runner across the home plate. The Detroit team was in the field when the Attn letic batter swung on the ball and. with ringing crack, sent it roaring over the green expanse of Shibe park on long, arching drive. The roars of the thousands were deafening- It seemed almost certain to land safely for the hit that would endanger the Tigers hope for success.
 Cobb, the great Detroit center fielder was racing for the ball with ali the marvellous speed of which he is capable, although it seemed almost impossible for him to reach it. As he arrived at the ropes before the crowd he turned, facing the ball. and leaped over the barrier backward, catching the sphere on the fly while he was in the air. His spikes caught in the rope, so he fell into the crowd, landing on his shoulders, the rest of his body remaining suspended. In spite of this he held on to the ball.
 This play convinced me that Cobb was, and Is, the greatest exponent of our national pastime. It was unfortu- nate, so far as he was concerned. that his great effort only staved off de- feat, as after Il hard fought innings lATf oh frN t,. run that gave them a well merited victory
