Nv JOHN A. DUGAN.

CIancine at the football rules lof 1910
issued Yesterday by the Central boaru
of Oficials. but few changes ana ahe.a-
tons are to be found. One OF the p,ln
cipal things, and the one OF most IN
nortance which the Central Board mas
reouested the officials throughout the
country to enforce Is the knocking Gown
of a PLAYER by either the defense or Oh
tense after the whistle has blown
Another important change Is the tut
ing of a ball touched or caught oy tne
second eligible player In an attempted
forward pass as an incomplete forward
pass. The rules this season prohioit
the throwing Of the pigskin out OF
bounds in place Of punting, which many
Of the college teams did last season
when they were blessed with having an
athIet. who could heave the ball fifty
or sixty yards.
Interference in the line Of scrimmage
with the legs will call for fifteen-yard
penalty, while the fullback has been
given more protection In the alteration
of the rule in reference to roughing.
The field Judge has been put back IN
the game among the officials. Under his
duties he will be in charge Of the time
and compelled to watch the backheld
and line in starting ahead Of the ball.
The principal alterations are as follows:
Interference will no longer be permit
ted to knock down the secondary defense
after the whistle blows. nor will the de-
Tense either be permitted to run into a
man after the whistle blows.
The presence of a field Judge has been
made obligatory, and the watch has been
taken away from the lineman and given
to the field Judge so as to make it pos
sible for the linesman to be more oeserv-
ant Of all the matters coming within his
fho ahnvn
the starting signal.
No longer will throwing the ball
out of bounds be substituted by teams
for kick, for a forward pass going. out
Of bounds on the fly. whether 1t touches
a man or not, Is now ruled as an incom-
pleted forward pass.
The flocking Of substitutes in the last
period has been stopped and no result
stitution will be allowed except at the
beginning of a period.
The protection of the full back has
been somewhat altered. The rule has
been divided into two parts-running in
to the full back. and 'roughing' the full
back. Running into the full back is
penalIzed fifteen yards. but "roughing"
the full back is penalized fifteen yards
and disqualification as well.
The rules committee Of the central
board on officials also recommends the
done to enforce this necessity from a
spectators standpoint.
Another ruling which will be en-
forced in the big games will be the
substituting of player for the pur-
pose Of conveying information. A PEN
atty Of Is yards has been provided for
such action.
The penalty for unsportsmanlike con-
duct was changed to Is yards. but the
power was placed in the hands of the
official to disqualify for fragrant con-
duct.
In swapping the ball back. the CEN
ter may not hold 1t after he has made
the motion; he must actually let the
ball 20 This prevents a play that had
been practiced, consisting Of the center

GRIFFITH'S BID, $4,000
By WILLIAM PEET.

Stories published in the evening news
papers here yesterday to the effect thai
Washington had purchased Joe Jackson
the smuggling outfielder of the Cleveland
Indians, for $4,000 were a bit premature
for Jackson was yesterday sold to the
Chicago White Sox.
The Washington Herald's Cleveland
correspondent telegraphed last night the
following, which is self-eXplanatory:
Cleveland, Aug. 20. - Coming
through with a bid of $4,000 and
three ball players, the Chicago
White Sox today purchased Joe
jackson from the Indians.
just which players will come here
has not been determined, and 1t
Will be Sunday or Monday before
Owners Comiskey and Somers
reach an agreement on that point.
The deal was closed by Harry
Grabner. secretary of the White
SOx, who came here today for that
purpose. Grabner and Jackson
left tonight for Chicago, and Joe
will break into the lineup with
his new teammates tomorrow.
The sale Of Jackson followed an
unsuccessful effort by the WASH
inGton club to secure the sluEEinE
right fielder. Every time Griffith
of an offer for jackson and Chap
man, and today was no exception.
He is said to have offered Owner
Somers $4,000 for the CarOlinian,
but was turned down because the
only player he WAS willing to part
with was Ray Morgan, now under
suspension for failure to keep In
condition.
Mr.. Somers has been willing to
talk trade for jackson for several
weeks.
Joe has not been hitting up to
his usual form far this season,
and the Indians boss decided
change of scenery would be best
for all concerned.
just what players Somers~ will
get for his club is yet to be deter

from which to choose three men,
but before making his decision he
will talk things over with Manager

By CHARLES w. SWAN,

OF the Sporting Department. Cleveland Leader.
Cleveland, Aug. e0.-With Ray Chap
man the only Indian who seemed able
to hit Harry Harper, the Washington
southpaw. late Of Minneapolis. and the
only infielder to star in the field. it is
not surprising that Washington defeat
ed Cleveland today. s to 0. Only few
weeks ago Harper pitched for the
Millers against the Spiders, and was
both wild and ineffective. Today he
had both control and the "stuff", and
only one Indian reached second base.
that one being Steve O'Neill. who dou-
bled with two out in the fifth, and was
left high and dry upon second when
Brenton struck out. But five other In
dams attained first. and not one of
them was able to advance to the next
station. Consequently. the third base
coacher's job was merely ornamental.
while the one assigned to first base
did not overwork himself.
Pitcher Lynn Brenton did not do so
badly, except that he lacked the abil-
ity to overcome the handicap Of some
bad support. The commission Of an
error behind him was his signal to ease
up in his delivery and allow his ad-
versaries to fatten their batting aver
ages,which is a novel stunt for the
Nationals, they being the weakest bat
ting aggregation in the league-that
is, until they reached Cleveland this
week.
For four innings Brenton battled on
even terms with Harper. In the fifth
round Washington earned a run on
pass, a single. a sacrifice and an infield
out. With two out in the next inning,
Brenton let down after Chapman's err
ror had allowed Shanks to score and
the Nationals proceeded to score an
other.

That Griff offered $4,000 and Ray Nor
gan for Jackson is probably true, but
$4,000 and three players from Chicago
was probably more alluring, and, conse-
quently. the Old Fox lost out.
Jackson would have fitted in nicely
with the local club. and 1t is rather too
bad that Griff could not have hooked
him.
This may be Tommy Leach's last year
in major league company. Leach Is sit
ting on the Reds bench for the reason
that he has lost his batting skill. He
has an ironclad contract with the Gin
cinnati Club which expires in the fall.
and it is understood that he will be
turned loose when the season ends.
