football Rules Committee represent no
one in particular and ii the two cap
| tains agreed a touchdown might count
ten points wellnas six. At the same
time the authority of the Rules Com
mttce has been accepted without ques-
tion. and If a precedent we're started by
which two teams would disregard this
particular rule and flaunt intercollegiate
sentiment it wouldn't be long before they
might be waving some other rules and
we would have all kinds of trouble.
The only objection made to the rule is
that II prohibits honest coaches from
utilizing this position to watch the work
of their men, and they can get this in
formation only from the preliminary
games. 1t is rather late in the day to
raise this point. and since the rule is
on the book it ought to be observed to
the letter
There is no more reason why foot
ball coach should be on the field than
that there is for a track coach to be on
the track during a dual or intercollegiate
meet. The l. c. A A. A. A. forbids all
trainers and coaches from being on the
track or within the enclosure during
championship meet. For the same reasons
coaches are barred from track and field
in all the important dual meets, Track

Some Difficulties at No.

Racing Unsatisfactory.

After a successful season, the yachts.
men of the South Jersey Yacht Racing
Association will, at their annual meeting
the latter part of November, discuss the
regulations regarding measurements In
an endeavor to correct the inaccuracies.
The first discussion which will come up
will be over the accuracy of the course
In nautical miles. In one regatta held
along the shores of South Jersey the
owners of boats, according TO times made
by high-powered hydroplane. were
given time allowances figured at eighteen
over twelve. In two races there would
have been difference In the finish OF
the boats, provided the allowance had
been made for the shorter distance The
scratch boats would have won in each
instance.
1t would be we'll for the sport II one
member of the Regatta Committee OF
the club holding a race meet were spe'
cially instructed to lay out the course
and see that 1t is accurately measured
The second subject is the removal Of

PENN BOXERS ARE

Arrangements for a Dual

issue call for candidates within n short
time and expects over 60 aspirants to
report.
For the past four years Decker. who
was formerly famous as a lightweight
fighter has been instructing students of
old Penn. During the first two years
the men did not show an aptitude for
boxing. Finally. due to the efforts of
Decker and DR.. TAFT Mckenzie, physi-
cal director of the University, boxing
was put on a firm foundation. The
year was divided into two terms. fall
and winter Last year in the fall ses-
sion there were about so men learning
the rudiments of the game. After foot
ball came to a close some of the grid
iron heavyweights Joined the squad. An
effort was made to hold an intercol-
legiate tournament between the teams
of the Eastern colleges last year, but
It fell through. One result, however,
was the formation Of teams under COM
petent instructors In several colleges.
Decker worked hard, holding several
exhibitions during the two terms Sew
eral members of the team took part in
the afternoon matinees of Tony Bidde
Decker reports that arrangements are
being made to hold a tournament with
the team of Franklin and Marshall the
latter part of November. He expects,
with several veterans from last year, TO
make creditable showing and convince
the authorities that boxing is a coming
college sport.
Negotiations are also on between the
Penn team and Columbia College.

CLEVELAND, o., Sept 22,-Just what
was another month of baseball is a mat
ter Of conjecture That the Athletics are
not putting up anything like the game
on this final spurt around the Western
circuit that they did on their last in
vasion is certain Yet the slump can be
explained. When the Mackmen started
on their second iaunt through the West
they realized that they still had some
distance to go and that to defeat the
nearest contender they would have to
open up a big gap between their own
and the standing of the second club in
the American League. This they did
They came home with a lead of IL games
Today the Athletics have but six games
on the Red SoX. That is. they have lost
seven full games since the end of their
second trip through the West, but it
must be remembered that the l3-game
lead practically put them on easy street
for the pennant and they ceased to take
long chances, believing that then PEN
nant was won Furthermore, series of
accidents pulled them down recently when
they made flying trip to Boston and
Washington just before leaving for the
West.

PHILLIES READY
FOR FINAL TILT
WITH CARDINALS
Game T o d ~ Will Be
Staged at National League
Park at Three O'clock.
Braves Lead Almost Pro-
hibitive.

Though the Philies tossed away a
game yesterday which they might have
won half dozen times they are not
out of the running for the first division
place by any means. Again today the
Doom athletes will go to battle with
Higgins nine.
1t is sad indeed to think that club
which hits the ball with the flerceness
of the Phillies should show such weird
lack Of form on the bases. Unless the
opposing pitcher is sending over a brand
Of unh.ttable ball a team ought to score
nine times out of ten with man on
second and no outs In the second
inning, after Luderus had sent long
double to the beacher fence. he allowed
himself to be picked off the base by
quick throw from WinEo. If he had
only played one foot off the base in
stead Of yard he would not have been
caught mapping at his post Another
thing, the Philles would have scored
the run which would have given them
the game In the ninth inning.
Just here a word should be said favor
Ing Jack Martin The youth has dis
played remarkable Improvement in the
last month at shortstop and seems to
be getting better each day. Martin is
not the best shorthelder in the National
League. but he bids fair to give some
enc battle for the honors next season
Just al present Maranvlle. of the Bos-
ton Braves, has a good deal on the field
of shortstops. but there is no reason
why Martin should not develop enough
in another wear to run good race with
the clever little infcider of the league
leaders.
When tho Pirates went down yesterday
before the continued onslaught of the
Braves and the cubs sank shaft of de-
foat into the cracking Giants. the Ma
tional League pennant was all but won.
As McGraw says. the series between the
Braves and the Giants will probably be
the deciding factor. This being the case,

NUMEROUS PETTY
THEFTS REPORTED;
VAGS ARE THICK

Fruit growers, ranchmen and
truck gardeners living close to the
city of Grand Junction are up in
arms over a series of petty depreda-
tions which have been committed
during the past few weeks by an Or
ganized gang of hoboes who refuse
to work but make their living by
lcoting and stealing.
Fruit orchards have been gone in
to and the trees robbed of their
choice fruit, truck gardens have been
shamefully mutilated and ranchmen
have had their chicken roosts enter
ed at night and valuable fowls stolen
and the cows robbed of their milk.
Estimates as to the number of ho-
boes who are in the city at present
vary from so to 200. . Yesterday Of
ficer John Allison walked down the
street and counted between 25 and
"vags" who are begging their liv-
ing and this was in the middle of the
day when most of them were sleep
ing.
The chicken roost of Robert A. Orr
on the First Fruit Ridge was enter
ed last evening and six valuable pull
lets were taken, their necks wrung
off and left in front of the chicken
house. Similar things have been oc-
curing with great frequency of late
and if caught it is extremely liable
to go hard with the offenders.
