this, is 1t legal to kick the bail?
GROUND RULES.
The officials advocated set Of ground
rules to be used when the crowd gets
on the field. They favored ruling
which gives the ball to the side last
touching It before It goes out of bounds.
This will save many injuries, as the
players who crash into the crowd or n
fence to get the bounding ovp often
times are seriously hurt. II also was
suggested that q blocked punt behind
the goal line shall count as a safety If
the ball goes into the crowd.

all know that some coaches send i'm

his regular player while the other side
uses a substitute This practice should
be stopped and In case of rough play be-

should either be forced to put the ball

BD a stag Correspondent

| NEW YORK. Dec. 15.-Organized base
/ ball today is accepting credit for a won
derful victory in bringing the Federal
League to terms and ending the warfare
which would have eventually ruined the
great national pastime. The National
League is given credit for forcing the
Feds to give UP their fight for recogni-
tion as the third major league. but as
a matter OF fact IL was organized ball
that sought pence.
For the good of the game in the fu-
ture II was deemed advisable to make
President Tener's announcement read so
that promoters who may harbor a de-
sire to start another Independent circuit
will always remember the great failure
of the Feds. Those who believe that the
Feds were beaten into submission are far
from the truth, as Gilmore really won
his battle.
When the final settlement is made and
If the obstinate Fan Johnson president
of the American League, does not in
terfere with the program, 1t will be
found that the main hackers and prin-
cipal cogs i'm the Federal League organ
ization will ne taken care Of while the
lesser lights will receive far more than
would have been their lot If the Feds
had been so hopelessly beaten as one Ia
led to believe by the reports of organized
ball
Organized ball considers 1t victory,
but 1t Is not. Baseball is still In the
same position where 1t will always be In
the future. Any organization with plenty
of money and nerve can follow the ex-
ample of the Feds and eventually force
recognition. 1t was forecast in the
EVENING LEDGER a year ago that the
Feds could not be beaten II they stuck
together, and the developments at the
opening session of the National League
meeting proved that conclusively.

FRESH-SOPH FOOTBALL GAME
MAY BE LOST BY DEFAULT
Annual Penn Interclass Clash Has
Been DELAYED

Because the game has been delayed so
long the annual football scrap between
the University of Pennsylvania freshmen
and sophomores Is In danger OF going to
one class or the other by default. The
sophs wanted to play the game the week
following the Cornell match, but the
freshies asked more time.
Another week was lost by inability to
agree on a date, and now Franklin Field
is covered with snow. Yet the Under
graduate Committee. which has sole juris-
dictlon over such matters, has ordered
the two teams to play the game.

MOTOR CAR

There is abundant evidence
that this is an exceptionally
economical car.
Owners say that the gasoline
consumption is unusually
low.
When they speak of tires
they almost invariably report
mileage records which are
remarkably high.
And there is a sound logical
reason why the car should
cost little to keep.
1t is light-the actual scale
weight is only 2235 pounds.
This light weight is partly
due to the use of well-de-
signed steel forgings; and
pressed steel parts; and the
absence of heavy castings.
The all-steel body is electric
ally welded into a unit. This
gives it that stability and
rigidity which must other
wise be sought in the use of
heavy parts or bracings of
steel or wood.

JULIUS CEASAS COMING

The heavy expense and enormous
detail involved in modern motion
picture spectacles is well illustrated
by the mammoth George Kleine

plays at the Opera House on Mon
day, Feb. 22. Aside from the army
Of people employed, which reports
say exceeds 10000 in costume alone,
II was necessary TO build "a miniature
city of Rome covering six square
blocks. Eight cars of concrete were
used in the construction of a Gallo
fortress which Caesars army storms
and destroys; two hundred carren-
ters and stone masons, eighty stage
carpenters and their assistants,
twenty seamstresses, twelve motion
picture directors and two professors
of archaeology found employment at
one time or another during the
eighteen months of preparation.
When the costumes had all been
made, the scenery built and painted,
and everything was in readiness, a
corps of men were engaged to scour
Rome for unemployed men and wo-
men to fill the mob" scenes. These
people were hired by the day and
the donning of a costume meant
salary for that day whether they
actually worked or not. Hence, a
rain-storm or a cloudy sky proved
expensive.
This play will be given under the
auspices of the missionary society of
the Methodist church.

FAvORITE SALARY BILL

One of the salary bills which seems
to be favorite is piloted by A. B.
Renehan and promises to be win
ner or compromise.
The maximum salary il provides
for is 5000, for treasurer, assessor.
sheriff and clerk in first-class coun-
ties, those counties being Colfax,
Chaves, Grant, Bernalillo, Dona
Ana and San Miguel. The classifi-
cation is based not entirely on as
sessment but also on other consider
atoms, such rs the amount of taxes
collected, the population, the area,
the location and general conditions.
County school superintendents and
deputy county clerks, are to receive
81. 900 year in these counties. The
deputy sheriff, the deputy assessor,
deputy treasurer and the district
court clerk are to receive 81 500
each. The assistant deputy sheriff
is to have $1,000, county commits
sioners $500, probate judges $500,
jailer $720 and county surveyor 81 a
day for 100 days each year.
The second-class counties are to be

SALARY MEASURE DRAFTED

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Jan. 30. The
county unit salary bill. which is
favored by many of the legislators,
has been drafted by committee in
charge of that work. II provides
blank spaces wherein each county
delegation may insert the salaries it
wishes its county officers paid and
makes a number Of general provi-
sions.
Chief among these is that regard
ing deputy hire. Counties, for pur-
poses Of deputy hire, are divided
into four groups, with Bernalillo
in the first group. The district
courts are empowered to grant ad-
ditional deputies to county officers
when needed, but their action on
such applications must be made a
matter of record. No officer who
does not put in his full time at his
office is to be allowed a deputy at
county expense. Eight per cent of
all county taxes are to go into the
salary fund. All allowances made
by boards of county commissioners
in excess of the allotted salaries are
TO be returned within 80 days, and
upon failure to make such refund
any county officer is to be consider
ed guilty of embezzlement.
The measure is to apply TO all Of
fcers from the dates on which they
qualified. The repayment of all
fees, mileage and per diem forward
ed by the county treasurers to the
state treasurer is to be made by the
state treasurer.
In counties bordering upon a for
eign country or having mines within
their borders which employ large
bodies of men, additional deputies
may be allowed the sheriff under
this bill, provided their salaries do
not exceed $1,000 a year.
II is expected that the Democratic
members will meet to decide what
they want in the counties they rep
resent tomorrow, while a joint
caucus of senate and house Republi-
cans will be held on the measure

COOKE, HUMORIST
GIVES SATISFAC-
TON HERE

Edmund Vance Cooke, humorist
and humanist, poet and philosopher
was here yesterday and delivered
two Of his popular messages to the
citizens of Tucumcari, one in the
afternoon to the children and the
other in the evening to the grown.
ups.
The afternoon performance was
well attended and highly appreci.
ated, but the high wind and buster
Gus weather which prevailed all
afternoon and night played havoc
with the night attendance. Those
who did face the storm were amply
paid for their trouble and enjoyed
a treat seldom afforded.
Mr.. Cooke Is known from coast to
coast and his entertainment was full
OF special interest to all classes. His
poems were tributes to religion,
baseball, football and many other
classes, while his comedy consisted
OF mimicry and stories Of children.
Along this line he has few equals
and no superiors and his visit to
Tucumcari will long be remembered
as one Of the best entertainments
ever given by one man.
The high school orchestra played
several selections and many express
sions of appreciation were heard.
This organization consists of about
twelve pieces and every member has
specialized on the instrument played,
and the class of music and harmony
were Of the highest order.
Prof. Hofer did his work we'll and
nothing was left undone to make
this entertainment a success, but
the weather succeeded in cutting
down the attendance and receipts.
