NO CHANGES MADE
IN FOOT BALL CODE
Only Minor Matters Are Due to
Come Before Rules Com
mittee Meeting.
PENALIZE FORWARD PASS

The foot ball rules committee will
meet in February to consider amenda-
tons in the gridiron code. 1t is not
likely that any material changes will
be made: the idea being that the
game-now well on its way to stan
dardization-had best be left alone.
Minor changes based on experience
OF the past season will. however, be
made, and. if suggestions are fol-
lowed. stipulations may result which
while not touching the body of the
game will none the less involve
changed conditions for players and
spectators. One authority would as
sign a certain number OF plays to each
quarter, thereby doing away with a
timekeeper This would be radical
step, and yet in some ways a good
one, since it would do away with the
tedious taking out Of time and play
ing to kill time
1t is, however, matter that re-
quires deeper study, There certainly
should be something done about
palpable interference with the re-
ceiver OF a forward pass The present
penalty is inadequate. Harvard in
the Princeton game found that by
knocking down a receiver who was
clear it could exchange thirty to
forty-yard gain against her for a fit
teen-yard penalty; rule that permits
such thing makes for bad foot ball
The multiple kick and kicking the
ball from a head helmet will prob
ably be acted on, the rules as they
stand at present permitting field goals
to be made in this way.
There is no prospect that the neces-
sity of kicking a goal after touch
down will be abrogated. 1t is fool
play useless and irritating encum-
brance. But. on the whole the game
is coming down to bedrock basis,
and when various little points are
cleaned up and the forward pass sys-
TEN has been either eliminated or ad-
justed with regard to relative details,
there seems no reason why the rules
committee should have great deal
to do at its annual meetings.

of the Association of American Law schools
at Chicago.
The federal grand Jury at Chicago sworn
In last November charged among other
duties with an investigation of reports of
manipulation of food supplies, was dis
charged today without having returned in
dictments in that connection.
Application for a temporary injunction to
restrain transcontinental railroads from
putting into effect increased rates on steel
and iron shipments to Portland and Seattle
from eastern points, was denied at Portland,

MAY CHANGE Big
LEAGUE SEASONS
Schedule Committee May Chop
Number of Games to One
Hundred and Forty.
INTER LOOP MATTER IS UP

New York. Dec. 50.-The schedule
committee OF the National and Amer
lean leagues. which will soon begin its
all-important meeting at some far
away camp or winter resort, has un-
der consideration the most important
step ever planned in major leagues.
Not only is there chance OF them
shortening the playing season 10 l4O
games. but it is within their power
such authority having been given
them--to arrange an intcrleaguc Sc
rics of games beginning the latter
part OF August This had been pro-
posed as a way OF avoiding scandal
that may arise out Of trying 10 change
the prices and prize distribution for
the worlds series.
The arrangement. il adopted will
be very similar to that recently agreed
upon between the International
league and the American association.
The idea originated with Garry Herr
mann several years ago and Is not
entirely new, though it has never
been tried
The plan contemplatcs having all
eight clubs in the National league
play all eight clubs in the American
league three or more games. The
winner, under one OF the arrange
ments. is to be considered the cham
pion of the world,
Another variation is for the pennant
to be decided in each league, and then
have a worlds series after the inter
league games are finished. Still an
other suggestion is for the winner OF
the interleague games to be entered
in a worlds series which will be three
cornered.
Base ball people have discovered
that interest is lost in the races among
the clubs that have no chance toward
the end Of the season. and to build
up that interest something radical
must be done.
The plan of having all the players
share in the prize money Of the
worlds series, the amount depending
upon their position at the finish OF
the race had that aim also.
Busy All January.
The schedule committee will be
very busy during the month Of jan
uary, as they have to agree on a
schedule and report back to the
leagues in February, Each league will
frame schedule and then a Joint
committee will pass upon It,
II the season is chopped short, as
so many magnates have suggested,
the chopping will be done in April in
stead OF October. Experience during
the last ten years has taught that the
weather is much better for base ball
during the early days of October than
of April. Both leagues lost thousands
Of dollars by the postponements last
spring, and they did not get it back
IN the double-headers that came later
on.
1t is necessary that a decision be
reached very soon, so that the man
ayers may be able to fix dates for
beginning their spring training

hand is on the spigot prepared to
turn on a golden stream for Billie
Miske. The St. Paul light heavy
weight, who annexed fresh laurels
by defeating Jack" Dillon, may be
the opponent of Georges Carpenter,
instead of Jess" Willard, if the
French pugilist should come to this
country
Tex" Richard, the promoter, who
has been negotiating for match be-
tween Carpenter and Willard, is
thinking of substituting Miske for the
American champion, in view of the
fact that the St. Paul boxer and the
Frenchman are of about the same
physical proportions. Mr.. Richard
was so impressed by Miske's showing
against Dillon it was understood, he
will ask his terms for a match with
Carpenter.
Billie" Miske has arrived with
both feet He has proven conclu
sively he is without peer at his
weight in this country and is the
logical opponent for the French
champion. A bout between Willard
and Carpenter would be something
akin to a Joke, in view of their diff
ference in height and weight but
Miske and the Frenchman would be
equally matched. Furthermore,
Miske right now is bigger drawing
card than any other heavyweight
with the exception of Willard, and
his services could be obtained for
much smaller sum than the cham
pion. In other respects, according
to Mr.. Richard, Carpentier-Miske
match would be better proposition
than one involving Willard and the
Frenchman.

new YORK MAY GET
SUNDAY BASE BALL
Three Major League Clubs in
Gotham Aid Minors in Fight
for New Sabbath Law.
WOULD BE a BIG HELP

Me-. York. n. Y. Dec. 30
Dreams OF Sunday base ball at the
Polo grounds. with the Giants and
Yankees engaging III regular league
games win thcir rivals OF tho Ma
tionsl and American leagues. respec-
lively, arc now hcirG enjoyed by the
fans OF the big city. EHGhin the last
lew days rev impetus has been given
to the proposition which has never
cnt7ely been abandoned here, even
though no real noise has been made
and no work visible for some years.
The latest movement for legalized
Sunday base ball in New York state
has the support OF three major league
club owners, two Class AA owners
and numerous magnates OF Class b
rating. That it has the support OF
fans By the thousands goes without
saying. Public sentiment may be
strong enough to bring about the
passage OF the ACT for Sunday base
ball TO be int ,duc d in the next ses-
sion of the state legislature.
Two of New York's major league
officials were in attendance at a meet
ing held here during the last week
for the purpose OF dsyising ways and
means 10 further the project. The
minors were represented by Secre-
tary John II. Farrell Of the National
association. Sunday base ball would
prove a life-saver 10 the minor league
clubs OF t S state, and it would un-
doubtedly prove highly profitable to
the owners Of Giants, Yankees and
Robins.
Under a Jaw legalizing Sunday
base ball every club in the two ma or
leagues, the International league and
the New York State league would be
benefited. Saturday dates here are
regarded as plums, and il Is believed
that Sunday would be even better,
with the chances Of the Polo grounds
being crowded to its $4,000 capacity
a few times during the summer
months. 1t should mean a great
thing for four leagues, with all clubs
sharing the extra prosperity.
How soon the workers i'll this
movement expect to have their hopes
realized Las not been made known.
For the present they are going along
slowly and the owners OF the, three
major league clubssin the greater city
prefer. viewing the parade than
marching at the head or in the front
ranks. They know full well that
thousands OF fans want Sunday base
ball, but they realize. too, that their
motives would come in for much
questioning. Naturally, the business
advantages appeal to them, but ii is
also true that there may be enough
public sentiment to win without their
playing a strong part. so they will do
nothing which might furnish oppo-
nents with something to rant about.
Brooklyn fans went on record dur
ing the last season as strong for base
bali on Sundays. Thousands signed
the petition which asked for legisla-
ton favorable to the plan. This APP
parcntly was but the<qpening gun Of
the campaign, which assumed wider
proportions a few days ago in the
shape of a meeting in which other
clubs and both major and minors
were rcoresented.
