He held out stubbornly for $40, 900.
Manager iris Speaker of the CIeve-
lands likes the looks of Pat McNulty,
former Ohio State star. McNulty ap-
pears to be a nifty outfielder and so far
has shaped up as a good hitter. Besides
he is very fast on his feet as a base
runner.
Charley Ebbets, Brooklyn owner has
issued an ultimatum to BMurleigh Grimes

NO RADICAL CHANGES
EXPECTED IN FOOTBALL, RULE

New York, March 9.-While radical
| changes are not expected when the foot
ball rules committee meets here tomor-
row, it is likely that a further technical
| defining of the gridiron code WILL result
from the conference Clarifying of the
regulations governing shifts, clipping,
numbering of players and similar foot
ball technicalities will be thoroughly dis
| cussed.
| OF more importance to the spectator at
the autumn pigskin clashes is the sug
gestion for a decided change in the meth
cd of scoring a goal following a
| touchdown. While it is doubtful if the
members of the committee will decide to
alter the present system, there is certain
| to be considerable expression of opinion
upon the rules in vogue last season.
Several suggestions have been advanc
| ed in preliminary conferences which it
was thought would enliven this portion Of
| the game from the spectators standpoint
and balance the present unequal. distrl-
| button of power on offense and defense.
| Most of the proposals call for both teams
to line up on the fifteen or twenty yard
| line and then have the side making the
| touchdown put the ball in play from
| scrimmage by one of the following meth
DDS: Drop kick by player making the
touchdown or by regular kicker of the
tedH' OF one play IN Wnlch Slde scoring
| touchdown may run, forward pass or
kick. Failure to score in this one play
would send the ball to the center of the
field for kick off in the regular manner
following touchdown. Still another sug-
gestion would require the scorer Of
/ touchdown to kick resultant goal in the
manner now in vogue.
Other requests for rule changes will
include clearer definition Of the shift
| in order that game officials may have
better basis uron which to decide wheth-
er these puzzling, siding jumps are a vi
olatlon of the one man in motion rule
The same is true Of clipping from be-
hind. Certain advocates of a change hold
that the rule barring the clipping Of a
player obviously out of the play IS not
broad enough and that it should be ex-
tended to cover a wider category.

CHICAGO GRA1N MARKET

Chicago, March 9.-Swift downturns
in the value of grain resulted from

the southwest. Wheat closed unsettled

Corn finished 2 1902 !5-s to 3-4c down !;
oats off 191 1-8 to 2 3-4@2 7-sc and
provisions at setback of II to 70
cents.
With snow and rain in Kansas, Ok

apparent that the buying side Of the
wheat market was at big disadvan-
tage. SmaAness Of farm stocks Of &C.
reals as shown in the government re-
port had been evidently for the most
part discounted in advance and al
| though moderate Upturns in price took
place at the opening, the majority OF
| dealers were soon seen to be pressing to

Corn and oats gave way In sympathy
with wheat. For the time being the
corn market appeared to have no goot

GREB WILL. GIVE AWAY
10 PoUNDs TO GIBBONS

Harry Greb will have to give away
10 pounds in weight when he meets Tom
Gibbons in Madison Square Garden next
Monday evening for what may turn out
to be bout with Jack Dempsey for the
heavyweight championship of the world.
He stood on the scales recently and Tip
ped the beam at 164 pounds. On Monday
Tom Gibbons weighed ia pounds. I'm
der the conditions the men must weigh
in at 2 o'clock next Monday afternoon
at ITS pounds.
Even ten pounds is an advantage not
to be considered lightly, and Tom Glib
bons Is likely to make the most Of It.
Still George Engle, manager of Greb
makes light of this, contending that the
greater speed of his boy will more than
offset the poundage. Speaking further
about it, he said yesterday:
Last night I went over the records of
both with the greatest care and It
strikes me that Harry shows to much
better advantage, on paper, at least. OF
course, comparisons are not always re-
liable, but Greb Is absolutely confident,
and that means lot"
