' None of th Yale foot ball officials has yet appeared except Walter Camp, who has been her most of the aummer. Mr. Camp says that th officials will have an extremely difficult task enforcing the rules this fall, a they will b compiled to watch many place at onue (knd look tor mora than double th penalties usually enforced. -Tale men admit that the new rules will revolutionize the game, and small attend' once at all the matohea this fall, with a travesty on the sport, are freely pre. dieted. Wide flung rush lines, plenty of dodging, - mass play dropped and plenty of punting and long passing are believed to be in store for the spectators. While no announcement has bean made, it la rumored that Yale's veteran coach. George Foster Sanford, will bo seen fre quently with the eleven this fall, and that h will appear at Lakevlll a oon as th players report. Yale begin this season with the smallest number of veterans on any eleven tn years, Only Captain Fred Daly, Johnny Kllpat rlck and Quarterback How are In col- leg. Walter Camp, Jr., Holladay Phlllbln, and Spalding, th back field of the fresh men last fall, ar prominent candidates for th team.

TAX IN PROPORTION TO POWER Piston I Not aa Klement of the Formala Nearly ai Arrante aa the Man Complicated Meteoda. According to the provision of th new automobile law of New Tork state, which went Into effect August 1, motorists must pay annually a tax according to the horse power of their cars, ba.vd on the home power formula adopted some yeaia ago by the Association of Licensed Automobile Manufacturers, and known as th A. L. A. M. horsepower formula. The annual taxes are as follows: For cars of twenty-five, horsepower or lem, 6. For cars of more than twenty-five and loan than thlrty-flv horsepower, $10. For cars of thlrty-flv and less than fifty horsepower, $15. For cars of tifty horsepower or more, S23. There have been o many Inquiries re cently that it is thought well to explain how the user of an automobile driven by a ganollne engine ran tell easily th official horsepower rating of his car under the New York law. , The Association of Licensed Automobile Manufacturers publishes In th annual hand book of Gasoline automobile a table from which can be seen at a glance the ratine; of a. car according to the official formula. This table la also published In pamphlet form, ahowlng th ratings of all motor of from one to sit cylinders, having a bore of from two and one-halt to tlx Inches (or sixty-four to 152 millimeters). Flartire for Yourself.. Anybody can, however, figure) for himself the rating of hla car, without referring to this table. Recaun the formula la very simple, being as Tollowi: (D square times N divided by two and one-half), wherein D represents the cylinder bore, N the number of cylinder aid 2.5 k constant based on the average view of the engineer as to a fair conservative rating for a four-cyllndr motor at 1,000 feet per minute piston speed. All there I to do, after knowing the cylinder bore I to square the same, multi ply by the number of cylinders and divide the result by two and one-half. The Association of Licensed Automobile Manufacturers' formula, therefore, oon- tltitte a simple, fair, uniform rating basis for automobile engines, within the limits of construction which have for some time oome to be recognised In the motor car industry a commercially satisfactory.' The primary purpose of th formula wa to give light to the public as between motor rated high, as offering big value, and those rated modestly, aa showing superior performance over nominally high-powered car. It is i now adequately realised that the Assocla- i Uon of Licensed Automobile Manufacturers lifraf mi. i. i . . ,. cnaraoier mat can be devised and that It 1. moreover, almost inappreciably less ao curate than any of the most complicated formula that have been advanced, so ilons; as it la applied to the ordinary atandard engines which are used for ttv propulsion or pleasur vehicles. Piston speed I not an element of the Association of Licensed Automobile Manu facturers' formula Itself. But tho formula based on 1,000 feet per minute piston speed; that Is, In the cas of two motor having the same number of cylinders and th saw clylnder bore, but different length of stroke, it Is assumed that th motor with th shorter stroke will, mak a greater number of revolution per minute relatively. A1 per exAmpl th application of th Association of Licensed Automobile Manu. facturers' formula to a four-cylinder motor with a five-inch bore would be as follows: Square of five inches equals twenty-five; multiplied by four, th number of cylinder, quals 100; divided by two and one-half. give rorty horsepower, Phillies to Get Shakeup Soon Quaker Nationals Are Fast Bunch, but Indication is They Will Be Sifted. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 27.-Thar are rumor of a shakeup in the rank of th Philadelphia Nationals. Th Phlllle hav a fast fielding, hard-hitting team and yet they are fighting to keep out of the econd division.

The victory Old not com a a aurprtse because Kohn was rated as the better player, but Koch had a 30 handicap, while his opponent had only a 15Vfc one and had been playing a splendid game of tennis all through the tournament. But In the finals of 'yesterday the latter went to pieces and was beaten by a large margin. A high wind blowing over the court pre vented very close shots being mad by either player and made th sets slower than they would have been, but In spit of this, ther was a fairly large aud Fence on hand watching th playing with great Interest. Kuhn played a fine net game In the first two sets but was very wild, knocking many balls outside. He really would have won the match If he had been more sure of his placement of the ball. Koch' serve carried him out of several tight place, and his steady persevering style of playing wore down his opponent so that one game after another fell to blm. Yesterday' victory gives Koch the first leg of the etors cup and entitles him to hold It until challenged by the winner of th September tournament The sholng made by several of the player In the event just finished will have a decided effect In changing their rating in the next handicap placing. The .September event will close th tennis season In Omaha, although, the court of all the clubs In the city will be open for practice.

Good Material I Scarce and Scoot llnatle. The scramble for material In the major league for the next season la already fierce and promises to be even more bo before 1911 comes around. Every big league team Is out with its scouts trying 'to make a good clean-up, and all are finding the job a little bigger than their best resources csn easily match. The reason simply Is that major league material Is scarce, that Is, the competition I ao keen that top notch era ar quickly seised. It Is not that the country is not full of good, young ball players, but rather that the demands of th majors are being raised every year and It I a ease of the survival of th fittest and th fittest must be more fit than ever. We have seen th long list of farmed-out play ers who hav been recalled and In addi tion to these scores of other .recruit ar being pulled In by new fishermen "for men." Pitchers, are, of course, more In demand than any others because they are always harder to get. Minor and major league teams alike have had ample export enc to testify to this fact This year has been on of th worst In th history of base ball for pitchers, that is, the demand has so far exceeded the supply that nearly every team ha felt the pressure of the situation and suffered In consequence,- to some extent , GAME AT COUNCIL BLUFFS TODAY Amerlcaas and Merchants to Meet Tals Afternoon.

Without qualification, Plank declare that the Cleveland second baseman Is th harder man of the pair to pitch to with the Idea of outguessing him. This Is the manner In which Plank com pares the two: Lajole hits anything. In side, outside, high or low, over the plate, and It Is almost Impossible to pitch and fool him. Stick one close to his belt, and be will crash It over the Infield, mayhap to th fence. Drop one low, and he will hit it a mile. Around his shoulders, he will do the same thing. Groove one, and It 1 suicide. "I never try to outguess Lejole, for I admit that 1 have nothing with which . 1 can fool him. I simply take my chance, and confess that he Is my superior. The easiest time to pitch to the big fellow Is when there ar men on the bases. He does not hit then as he doe when the pillows are empty. "Two years ago In Cleveland I was trying to waste a ball. He hit It a lick with his bat and knocked It over the roof of a build ing out of the grounds. I pushed him one tn the last series with the. Naps inside and down around his knees. He bounced it to left field. That's the reason I pitch to Larry and hope for luck. You can't out guess him. - "With Ty Cobb U Is different, although Ty can hit anything that Is thrown to him. However, he Is not hard for m to iltch to, perhaps because he 1 a left-hand bat ter, and Lajole a right. You can fool the Oeorglan where you cannot the Frenchman. When I am pitching Against Detroit I take a chance with "Cobb, and sometimes can outguess him, although I admit his blllty as a batsman. You must pitch to Cobb. He will not reach out and hit a wast bill out of th lot like Lajole. He waits for you to hand It to him where he thinks he can hit it, and unless he gets It there he is not so formidable. "Cobb, with his great sprinting ability, beats out bunts and Infield hits. That's why you have to figure him all the time Larry is the slugger, pure and simple. Now. If Lajole were as fast as Cobb and laid down bunts, he would stay at tti top. No on could touch him In the Ameri can league. Foor good, clean hitting tie la In a class by himself, and when he gets one. it 1b one on which a boy could get to first, second, third or home. He Is the real batter In the league, the hard man to pitch to and a clean hitter." COAST TO BE STRONG AT MEET Idea that Kast Has it iincuea Appears a Uelaslon. NEW YORK. Aug. 27. Follower of ath letics In th cast who have so far figured on the probabilities of the Amateur Ath letic union national meet at New. Orleans seem to think that the main tussle for the point championship will tie' between a couple ot oiub In this locality. According to the local critic 'the west and the pa cific, coast will only exist in the light of fillers in for the entry list, with th men from these places partly , acting as trial horses for the wonderful boys from th Atlantic seaboard. In the history, of American sport ther never was a greater delusion, aa can be shown by th men training In th dif ferent quarters. To begin with, th Olym pto olub has announced that It will send Rose. Plaw, Edward. Miller, Snedlger, Oerhadt and Scott, the 8tanford university pole vaulter. Were no others to com from the coast, these men would cause trouble In the best company and win first from the best the world could produce. The Seattle Athletic club won the point championship of th national meet last year, but th fact that it athletic were working, on their own grounds accounted for the success more than their excellence aa performers. The club had every avail able point maker on the firing Hue and therefor profited greatly by the other team' weaknesses her and ther. 8 till th wearer of th blue diamond had some. flrat-class men, who will be seen in harness again this year.
