Johnson, star pitcher of the American
league talked for an hour on SUNDAY
with Joe Tinker, manager Of the Chi

was done the great pitcher departed in
"a receptive mood. No offer was made
because Johnson declared ne was not
open for an offer at the present time
Il wouldn't sign a contract now with
any ball club, not even with Washing

London, Nov. 4--Eyery possible Of,
fort 10 being made to rush new troops
to the battle front in France and Bel.
GUM It was admitted at the war
Office that the British troops had suf-
fered heavy losses In the battle OF the
Yser probably heavier than those OF
the French or Belgians. The Relgian
troops are said to have lost between
$4,000 and $4,000 men.
The great losses Of the BRITISH are
said to be due to the fact that the
Germans concentrated their artillery
fire on the English troops whenever
possible. This theory is borne out by
the following dispatch from q CORE.
spondent at Calais;
Paris, Nov. 4.-The advantage which
sthe Germans gained by securing q
foothold at terrific loss Of life on the
left bank of the User river has been
abandoned, according to an oficial

that the Germans have withdrawn and
that the allied troops have regained
the crossings OF the User. 49,

eIynn CaFrIeS Manhattan.

Glynn Carries Manhattan.
Early returns Indicated that Glynn
would carry Manhattan by $4,000 and
Greater New York by 41,OOO-tar too
little to overcome the Republican ma

hold, gave heavy majority for Re-
publican candidates for governor and

Davenport (Prog.) ran behind Sui.
Ter, running az a Prohibitionist, both
out In the state and. inf Greater New
York. The combined vote for Sulzer
and Davenport was only about 10 per
cent. of the total.
The Brooklyn Eagle conceded the
election Of Whitman. The morning
newspapers all admitted that Glynn
was beaten on the face Of the early
returns.
Oneida county. gave substantial ma
torities to both Whitman and Wads-
worth. At the same time the Dem

Whitman more than 10000 plurality,
and James W. Wadsworth- 21,00e.

ties Of 1900 in Yates county, 1,400 in

A A u May Give Up Basketball

BECAUSE of the inroads made on the
 game by professionals 1t ia more than probable that the A. A U. will drop basketball from it's list Of anna teur sports. but how this contemplated action will be receiyed by the delegates to the union is unknown
 s The report of the legislation commit tee on the proposed amendments to the constitution were made public by James E. Sullivan. secretary-ueasurerf of the A. A. U., recently.
 Basketball coaches and players now are giving attention to the new rules for the coming season. which will open wtth the closing of football A number of important changes have been made and they promise to make the game cleaner and safer than ever. The prac-
 1ce of holding q man or catching the ball when 1t is put into play is to be eliminated. Basketball authorities for several years have watched the tenden- cy of teams in engaging the taIlest man they could find to play center. If the opposing side had a smaller man the giant frequently would jump up and grab the ball and throw it to his men instead of hitting it with the one hand Numerous complaints were made against such tactics. but as the rules did not clearly define the point no ac- ton was. taken. by the referee. Now that there is such a rule it will be strictly enforced. The new rule also is so worded that the center men must face the basket for which they--are playing and hot stand sideways.
 Another important change and one which will prevent any future disputes when the ball goes out of bounds and is returned is this: ssThe man on the outside of the line must be given a chance for a free throw. His opponent must stand on the inside of the line and is not allowed to touch the player returning the ball"
 A player also 'shaI1 not advance with the ball across the boundary line with either one or both feet" No action will be taken if he Immediately withdraws the foot that is over the line

 a well known University of Chf- cagc coach s7B more nerve rackine than managing baseball team. You can drop q game in baseball now and then. but you must win every football game on the schedule or you arc only m partial wuceess.
 ~Tf it wasn't for this college spirit I don't know what we would do. guess football couldn't live without the in- tense enthusiasm which the coYlewe boys display. NO class qf athletes In the world trainB as hard as college football team. You couldn't make pro- 1essionsl baseball players endure what m football player goes through. Not even a professional fighter will train as hard as a football player.
 The football player goes through an hour CT tive of scrimnage which is

 property of that club. after payment of $1.5O0. had been made. The latter provision made it impossible for dick ering under cover and the nagnates changed the rule so that IT anoenef club claimed the player the club to which he originally belonged could withdraw the requests, for waivers and keep the man. Right there is the joker that the fraternity is trying to smash It killed the whole object of the rule
 For instance, if Chicago should ask waivers on Smith and the St Louis club should refuse to waive. the Chica- go club could withdraw the requests and keep Smith until more propftious time to get rid of him A little later on the Chicago club could talk ths matter over with St. Louis. Now. if you VIII waive on smith, they could say. Eve will waive on 8 man for you" St Louis finally consents, and the player is skidded to the minors when he might

every bit as hard as that much wres- tling or boxing every night.s with prob ably one night week off. An hour of football is equivalent to twenty round dght-onIy there are fewer periods be- tween rounds. In addition the football players must study and attend classes for about six hours in the day or the faculty win step in and disQualify them Many of them also do manual labor to earn their board and all of them have a certain amount Of social duties that they must perform.
 'No wonder that two-tnir1s of the men who come out in September do not last until November
 Eff the season was any longer don't know what we would do. If the season lasted another month guess ali the coaches would be in the insane asy1ums and all the players in the hospitals"
