 Worth more than pearls and

 More rich than gold or silver

 Oh. may 1t always on us shine. Oh, happy they who in their

 Are brought to know and love

 makes free, Can e'er enjoy true liberty. When Satan comes to tempt our

Macon, Ga, March 10.-The success
of the military training corps for base
ball PLAYERS seems assured, but the
hammers are still out. Following Is
Bryanic bit on the subject by Phila-
delphia sporting writer;
"As predicted by veteran baseball
men. Colonel Huston and his associates
in the propaganda of military prepared
ness in baseball training camps are
running into a flock of difficulties,
which will probably multiply until the
whole scheme is abandoned. With all
due respect to the sterling qualities OF
patriotism which prompted the mag
mates to take the step, it is evident
that the entire scheme was poorly con-
ceived and superhuous in its aims.
IN the first place, it was a matter
which should have been taken up with
the ball players before a decision was
reached. They are paid to play base
ball: IL is their business. and probably
many Of them do not care to take a
military course at time when they are
earning livelihood. Undoubtedly, like
all patriotic American citizens, the ball
PLAYERS will shoulder guns and prepare
themselves for war when the time
comes. but to have preparedness thrust
rno, them is something else Again. a
training camp is a place TO play base
ball; military preparedness camp Is
a place to train men for military duty
and the two do not mix. Although
President Tener of the National League
has gone on record as favoring the
play. the club owners of the organiza-
ton are not receiving it with enthusi-

Veteran Runner
Leads Field In
Distance Race

James Braccia, the Maplewood Ath-
letic Club veteran, who is the last COM
peting member of the old guard of
Brooklyn distance runners, scampered
home in front of the field of thirty-fve
runners in the weekly race of the Long
Island Athletic League over the Brook
lyn course yesterday. Though past the
thirty-year mark. Braccia seemed to
have more speed than ever. Taking the
lead at the third mile. he was never
headed. and won by more than one
hundred yards. His time of 2S:03 was
only twenty seconds behind the fast
time honors won by Walter Larsen, who
finished ninth.
The Brooklyn A. A., which was nosed
out by the Kings County A. A. for the
team prize by one point, protested the
victory. Charles Sherman. the fifth
Kings runner home, and at one time a
3. a. A. athlete, is said to be in
eligible.

Takes Baseball Too Seriously

The self-appointed spokesman Of
the National League takes his base
ball little too seriously. In the
event of war the United States gov
eminent could call to the colors every
baseball player in the country. for
they arc able-bodiod citizens between
the ages Of eighteen and forty-tiye.
They arc already in the army, as a
matter Of fact. as part Of the unor-
gained militia. Il is not inoppor-
tune for them TO start training for
the service which they might be called
upon at any time to perform.
As to the scheme having been poor
" conceived. who among the baseball
magnates could have handled it any
better than Captain Huston? The
captain served as a volunteer in Cuba
during the war with Spain, and has
always been an interested student Of
military affairs. The success Of the

Sanford Wants to
Make Changes in
Football Rules

George Foster Sanford, Rutgers foot
ball coach and former famous athlete
makes several suggestions for change.
IN football rules. It is probable that
these suggestions will be acted upon al
a meeting of the Football Rules Com.
mittee to be held in this city March l6
The changes suggested are as fol
lows:
1. That the forward pass shall
not be thrown into the territory Of
the defence greater distance than
ten yards.
, That a fumbled ball on run
ming play, when recovered. shall
not be advanced beyond the point
of recovery, the possession of the
ball being deemed sufficient reward
for diligence.
Excepcion-T That if a ball is
fumbled by a man endeavoring tc
advance it, he alone may recover il
and continue it. II is not meant
that this proposed change shall in
any way affect or apply to the kick
ing game.
3. The elimination of the So
called cut-down from behind. This
play has all the elements Of treach-
cry and none of good sportsman
ship. and is of such vital nature
that the game of football would be
much better without L.. The play
is so distinctive as TO make II
easily discernible to the officials as
TO when a penalty will lie.
t. In case the multiple kick is to
be attacked. | shall wish an oppor-
tunity to speak in its defence, as
believe that it is altogether CON
structive innovation, and one that
/ am sure calls for more coordlna-
ton than any other single play IN
football known to me.

ball players, the promoters of the
scheme naturally assumed that the
baseball players would be willing to
do their bit in any preparedness move.
Results show that this assumption was
justified Veteran baseball men like
Bill Donovan, Joe Kelley and Duke
Farrell-three of the most representa-
tive men in the American game-ta-
vorcd the plan from the start and pre-
dict its complete success. The baseball
players in the Yankee squad are not
complaining because preparedness
was thrust upon them" Unlike the
author of the two lugubrious para
graphs, they have the intelligence to
realize the necessity as well as the
benefits Of the move.
Officers connected with the recruit
ing service are willing to testify that
the preparedness plan of Captain
Huston and his associates promises 70
play a big part in rousing necessary
interest in the reserve army. As a
matter of fact, it has already aided
the recruiting service.
do not believe that this particular
sporting writer is in the position to
speak for the magnates of the National
League in this matter. He puts the
National League people in rather
bad light when he says "the club
owners Of the organization are not
receiving it with enthusiasm The
National League should set itself right.

In All Fairness

By BRIGGS

plan, despite the obstructionists, is
proving that the plan could not have
been better conceived.
The Bryanic outburst of the Phlla-
delphian sounds as though it had
been inspired by some Of the old-line
baseball magnates, who are so busy
watching the count at the box Office
that they have no time to get a line
on the relationship Of baseball to
anything besides profits. Naturally
these magnates resent the activities
of men who have brought new life
and vigor to baseball, and who may
save it from dry rot in its CONNER
cial department. despite the obstruc-
tionism Of the short-sighted business
men among the club owners.
