WAR INCREASES THE
CHURCH ATTENDANCE

Manchester. Eng, Sept. 19.-GreatIy
increased attendance at church ser
vices is one OF the marked effects Of
the war which has been noted by Man
chester clergymen, one Of whom, dis
cussing this subject in a Manchester
paper, says: 1T IS surprising to see as
large an attendance at a week night
service as at a Sunday service. It is
the instinct Of those left at home to
find fellowship at such times. But the
outstanding factor is that the war is
bringing US as a nation into the pres
ence Of the realities Of life and death.

NUMBER PLAYERS
 IN FOOTBALL GAME
Desired Innovation And Change In Forward Pass Considered
 By Committee

What is expected to be the most peaceful meeting the football Rules FComrnittee has held for several years, promised today to develop into a standing 4.pat'' on the present grid iron code, the legislators of the game weighed the worth of a dozen or mo$e. proposed changes.
 The Rules Committee convened at the Hotel Martinique, New York, this morning and will probably be In 'ses- sion for two days
 The forward pass. which for the first time was used with great success by many teams last season, especially by West Point and Dartmouth in the east and by Notre Dame in the middle west, will come in for a long discus sion. The conservative element among football men have never approved Of the forward pass. It was in the code for several seasons before coaches re- Falized it's great possibility as a SCOT ing play. On account, or it's success last season, many coaches believe that the forward pass is fraught with dan ger and should be restricted. An ef- fort will be made to make the play more difficult of execution than last year.
 The 1ong-iooked for innovation of numbering the players will probably become a reality at this meeting. Wal ter Camp of Yale, Parke Davis of Princeton, Head Coach George Brooke of Pennsylvania, and many other prominent football men favor this move. as it will be a great aid to the spectators in following and identifying the players on the field. There seems to be no special objection to number ing the players. aside from the fact that it never has been done. and the fashioned element in football does not fancy such changes. Henry Ket- 1oc{ f<7 that Yale did not favor it because the public wanted it, and that football at Yale was for Yale and not for the public.

SIAGG FAvORS ONE
 CHAN6E IN 1914 RULES

Coach A A Stagg of the Univer- sity5 of Chicago has formulated but one change as yet to submit, to. the meeting of the football rules commit tee, but he will back this for all it is worth.
 He believes that the rule relating to the roughing of a kicker, which calls for the penalty of disbarment from the game, is unjust and unscien- tffic, and he will make an effort to have its4changed.s He considers the statute barring a player if he comes through and bumps into a kicker a gridlron abomination.
 "A highly strung player. intent up- on blocking a punt, can no more stop immediately before reaching the ball than a thoroughbred racer can halt in the terrific rush at the tape,'' says Coach Stagg, regarding this rule- ''I think 1t spoiIs the game to have such a rule, and I am heartily in favor of doing away with 1t or modifying it in some manner.
 t.It is practically certain that no changes of mulch moment will be made at the meeting. Everybody was so well satisfied with the game as played last fall that any radical moves would be odd, to say the least ex- pecf to see the friends of the forward pass in the large majority,

FREDDY PARENT MAY BE MANAGER

 It is understood that the owners have been earnestly at work on Fred dy and hope to secure the wonderful little infie1der as a pIayer-manager.
 Of course. this would take some money and a, lot of red tape Tn the first place Parent is the property of the Baltimore team at present and has signed his 1914 contract. His release must sbe secured from. the Orioles. It isn't likely that he would sbe held at a fairly stiff figure. However. Parent had several accidents last year, break ing bone in his wrist and again hurting his leg, and it may be that he has appreciated in value slightly as a player.

With him came another Irish ,pugilist. McC1us- key, who was soundly licked by Hyer.

The ring was pitched on the ground, from which a heavy snow had to be cleared, From the first the American seemed better man than the Irfshman, although the lat ter was full of tricks, and there was always the chance that one of his shifty moves might give him the ad- vantage. The battle was with bare knuckles, of course, and under the old slaughter house rules" For fif- teen rounds Sullivan fought gamely, but in the sixteenth he was groggy and shaky, and flyer knocked him out.
