Sixteen of Griffiths men, including
two instructors. are due to report at
Charlottesville next Wednesday to start
training. Several of them will go di-
rect from their home to the training
camp, while others will report here.
Eleven are pitchers. one catcher, Char
rity, Outfielders II. Milan and Turner
Barber and two instructors. Nick Alt
rock and Jack Ryan make up the
party.
Trainer Mike Martin and Ray Morgan
left for Charlottesville this morning
and all the rest of the squad. including
the regulars, will report there March 10
Barber and Horace Milan are to start
battling for the right field position
right from the outset of the training.
Griffith was much impressed with the
work of these youngsters last fall. as
Martin will school them in an effort to
increase their speed. Barber showing
signs of being capable in this respect If
he can be taught proper form.
The pitchers are to be instructed TO
take matters easy for the first ten days
or so, as Manager Griffith does not
think it wise to rush the twirlers dur
ing the early portion of the training
PERIOD. he wants tHeii " give hioi Z
attention to their physical condition and
do only light tossing with their arms
for a while.
.Dahlin, the Sheffield. Pa. youth, may
not report. He wrote for advance
money the other day. and as Griffith
has not even signed him. this was re-
fused. and il may be that he will not
report. Little is known of Dahlin
further than that he played semi-pro
ball and was recommended to Griffith
by friend.
Some of the New York scribes seem to
be 1aboring under the impression that
Clark Griffith is peeved with Joe Ge-
deon because he was awarded to New
York and that he is predicting that
Gedeon will fail to hold his own with
the Yankees. This. however, is not the
case The fact of the matter is that
Griffith was the only one of the Wash
ington team who ever believed that
Gedeon had a good chance to make a
competent ball player. He has stood
alone in this respect and still believes
that Gedeon eventually will make
good ball player That is why he tried
has never uttered a word against his
chances with the Yankees. Gedeon, who
has been wintering in California, re-
ported at Macon fit to play ball and he
is sure to show to advantage early in
the training period.
Dennis Hinton. the all-around man of
the training camp. has been at Char
iottesville for several days, and this
morning Griffith sent one of the as
sistants of Groundkeeper Jim O'Day to
the Virginia town to help get the play
ing field in as good condition as posi-

Foot Ball Committee Decides Not to
Tamper With fundamentals of
G1idiron Game.

NEW YORK, February 26.-After
several hours of discussion at the
Hotel Biltmore last night the foot ball
rules committee decided only upon one
thing-to leave the rules alone. When
they adjourned late last night Chair
man e. X. Hall stated the committee
had unanimously agreed that the fun
damentals of the gridiron game, as
they now stand. should not be changed
He stated that the committee today
tons of the code, and some of the rules
may be rewritten. This will be done
by Walter Camp of Yale, secretary,
and Parke H. Davis of Princeton

Many Changes Considered.

The committee spent. most of its
time last night in taking up numerous
suggestions for changes made by Off
Gals and coaches. Several of these
were so radical that they were quick
ly laid aside. Percy ID. Haughton, the
Harvard coach. was not present, and
his alternate was Fred Moore, gradu-
ate athletic director at Cambridge
The committee win consider today Il
suggestion made by Mr.. Haughton that
la forward pass caught by an opposing
player behind the line of scrimmage
should go to the opponents. AS it is
the opinion of the majority of the
members that the forward pass works
we'll as it is. it is not likely that this
change will be made.
Chairman Hall stated that the ques-
ton of passing a rule making it COM
pulsory for the players to be num-
bered had not yet been taken up, but
would be discussed at today's session
The committee will also consider the
suggestion made to do away with the
goal after touchdown.

to the scouts because the man carrying
the ball is numbered, and merely by re-
