Subsequently the market continued
to show great nervousness. The close

Big margin calls had greatly reduced
the volume Of wheat trading, especially
in May Consequently excitement was

upturn carried May to $1.66. new
high record, and &c above the low

FOOTBALL RULES
TO BE CHANGED

New York, Feb. Sew important
changes in the football rules are ex-
pected to be made when the committee
meets here on Friday and Saturday of
this week
One of the principal abuses last year
was the frequent use of substitutes to
carry messages from the coaches to
the captain on the field, a practice in
direct violation of the spirit of the
game. To avoid the prominence of the
coaches the rule makers banished
them from the side lines last season.
A more drastic rule may be passed.
The numbering of players has the
support of several Of the best known
men in the game and the adoption Of
the practice is being urged on the
committee.
The members of the committee are:
e. X. Hall, Dartmouth, chairman;
Walter Camp, Yale, secretary; DR.. j.
A. Rabbit, Haverford; DR.. Carl Will

CHAMPION JUMPER
WILL COME BACK.

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Breezes from down
Boston way tell us that Al Gutterson,
who a year ago hung his spiked SHOES
and athletic toys in the closet and bid
the track and field game long and
last farewell is casting ardent glances,
at the aforementioned closet and In all
probability will essay a comeback
next spring.
Gutterson undoubtedly is the great.
est broad jumper in the annals OF
sport. Those who have seen Alvin
Kraenzlein, Meyer Prinstein, Peter
O'Connor, and other wonderful broad
jumpers when in their prime, asser
none of them could shape up along
side OF Gutterson, despite the fact
that Gutterson's longest competitive
leap-the "a feet II 1-5 inches jump
that won him the last Olympic cham
pionship-was fraction of an inch,
behind Pete O'Connors world record
of "a feet liz inches.

New York, Feb 3.-Heine Zimmer.8
man Tuesday signed new contract.
1t has no ten day clause and makes
no mention of waivers. And further
more, it is not a contract on which
Heine will receive money. On the
contrary, the third baseman of the
Chicago Cubs is bound under the new
agreement to give his wife $40 week
for the support Of herself and their
child during the months from October
to March inclusive.
During the playing season the sum
will be $40 week and he also will
pay 5000 for counsel fees on the
separation agreement, which was ap-
proved by Supreme Court Justice
Brady of the Bronx, which is Heine's
habitat when at home.
