Such a fentlenesa,
Harry Pulllam was r-lctd president
nf th National league Just a easy. Th
lnsurr-to didn't ucced In even making
a demonstration. Garry Herrmann ahowed
himself to b a "rent" by refusing to vote,
savin- he wouldn't obstruct the (alentlon
of Mr. Pulllam, and Johnteebrush voted
th biggest "no" he la capable of producing
at one mouthful. It would hav been mor
than New Tork If the magnate of th
Giant had endorsed the action of the man
who tamed Muggiiy the Umpire Kater. A
banquet to Conant and Roden, the retiring
Roatoneae, and th reception of Dovey of
Pt. Louis, the new Impressarlo of Bean
town, made up the rest of the proceeding
of the National league's annual session at
New York. Wonder If the Boston pair
thought of how they had let some player
pass Charlie Nichols, for example. The
"Kid" pitched for Boston thirteen seasons,
and won aeverul pennant for the team.
He was paid a big salary for hi work, and
drrlvered the goods. When Conant and
H"rten decided to let him go he was paid
off and dismissed at the close of the ea-
Mm. and tlicy didn't even nay goodbye to
hlnu He went Into the office, hi check
wa handed to him, and without a word
from th men Into whole coffer b had
drawn hundreds of thousands of dollar
lie went out Into the world. Dovey can aee
hi finish here any time he doesn't make
K"oJ on that flOO.OUO inurtgago that is draw
ing Interest on the Boston National league
ground. He'll have to huatle If he ex
pect to be equal to Charley Murphy'
record.
The circuit expander of th Western
league have been busy again adding St. Joe
and Tupeka to the town already In. Thl
bunch of extra wise guy has overlooked
th fact that the date for drafting town
expired December 1, and that the only way
to connect up with Doc Shlveley's prize
villages now ia buying them outright. To
get control of the two franchisee the -consent
of the other six must be obtained.
Thl means that the Western league will
have to buy out the Western association
tf It wants the two towns. In the mean
time Joe Canllllon has order Tlperlno to
ceil a meeting of the league, which will
be convened In Chicago sometime between
Christmas and New Year.
The Omaha Country club ha extended an
invitation to the Western Golf association
to hold 1U annual tournament on the Coun
try club course during th next summer.
The meet last year waa held at St. Loula,
but no. decision ha been made as to where
the meet will be held next lummer. Th
Country club 1 proud of It golf course,
and Justly bo, for It has been pronounced
asset of which the Country club Is also
of the experts who have played on them
all. The course Is varied with every kind
of an approach, with long and short holes
. and plenty of variety. A club house of
-sufficient slxe to accommodate the players
at one of these large tournaments I an
one of the best In the country by many
proud and every effort will be made to
land the big meet. Should this be done
the Country club will outdo Itself In the
way of entertainment and show the vis
itors a little western hospitality.

The entering wedge to a more reformed
foot bell, but a game more In accord with
the eld style wae made at the recent eon
ference at Chicago when tk big nine mt
to consider the new rules. Among th prin
cipal feature th conference decided upon
were:
Foot ball playing- schedule extended from
five to seven frames.
Retroactive features of three-year rule
eliminated; all student entering college be
fore September 1, law,, eligible to play four
years.
I: n I form limit set on beginning foot ball
practice at September 20.
Proposition to permit two freshmen inter
collegiate contemn In foot ball voted down.
Committee to select foot ball official re
appointed for another season.
Two-umpire sj stem In foot ball declared
successful and voted to continue another
year.
That all of these are for the benefit of
the game none will deny and the probabili
ties are they will be ratified by the schools.
The training table was not adopted, but
many hope thl will come in time. When
Alonco Stagg goes east to represent the
west In the rule committee he will hav
these six definite propositions to present.
In cose of a forward paae touchdown the
ground before being touched by a player,
allow the attacking team to retain the ball
with a fifteen-yard penalty Instead of hand
ing It over at the point where it was passed.
Allow tacKiing tielow the Knees.
Increase the Lima of halves from 90 to
36 minutes.
Allow the bark to pass th ball forward
without first taJilns- a oositlon five yard
out from the center.
Instiuct the head linesman to keen the
yard stick three yards out from the side
lines.
These all seem to he good sensible rules
and to have been recommended by a sea
son's work under the present rules. It Is
said that Mr. Stagg will not favor the
to four downs which some have suggested.
Th Lou Dillon case is settled, and al
though several most estimable men had
their reputations at stake over the event
they have been cleared by the recent de
cision. The testimony adduced at the re
cent hearing by the board of review of the
National Trotting association In the fa
mous doping case of Lou Dillon wa most
sensational and there was considerable talk,
of perjury. The board cleared E. E.
Smathers, the noted horseman who has
done so much with his money for th racing
game, of having hired a man to dope th
mare, but the testimony brought out many
questlenabl sides to th esse, which wa
not very creditable to all concerned.
Fays th Princeton Alumni Weekly; "That
play the forward pass originally proposed
as a means of offsetting th ten yards for
mat uown legislation ana or opening up
the game, was so hedged about with ex
ception that, as the Yale-Princeton game
has shown, any team 1 taking long chances
In Incorporating it as an Important part
of Its attack. One lesson the rules commit
tee should take to heart. In view of this
game. Is that the forward pass should be
freed of restrictions that leave Its legal
execution too much In the discretion of
officials. The onside kick, which waa not
ao much restricted by the committee, was
used to good advantage by Yale, whose
cotichus appreciated It advantages and
developed ia aa a fundamental part of the
Yale attack. Having been more uccessful
with th forward pass In early game.
Princeton paid less attention, to the onside
kirk, and It was not a factor- In the home
team play for advancing the ball."

The trouble of Eddl Oraney. president
of the fight trust and star wttne before

so fast that he Is unable to sidestep them.

complaint of Marry Corbet t has cropped up
since, and unless matter talc a sudden
turn Eddl will bar to equar himself
with the former master of th E1H street
situation. Oraney and Corbett were sup
posed to have formed a partnership to run
the Tuxedo saloon between them, with a
( prominent liquor firm to back them up.
But, so the tory goe, Oraney "put one
over" on Corbett at the proverbial elev
enth hour and succeeded In Installing him.

that he waa about to open up th Tuxedo
saloon a a headquarter for the sporting
fraternity and the "good fello
all along
the line. Oraney and Harry Corbett were
very close friend at this particular lme.
Orany aaJd h needed Corbett In hi busi
ness, and Corbett was only too delighted
tn take a chance at one of th most prom.

cording to reports. G rarer consented to .1
I low Corbett to get In on the Tuxedo and
j iRd his nam to the place In order to
further it patronas-e. But when Corbett
came around to settle up th final detail
he discovered, much to hi amassment,
that Oraney had already installed himself
s manager and master of ceremonies of
th plac. Corbett looked around for a
chare to force himself In, but. seeing that
the Jlttle horseshoer had already secured
the monopoly, he retired very gracefully.

Despite the' success, which ha greeted the
code under which the game wa played dur
ing the season Just closed the air Is full of
suggestion by which the originators be
lieve the play can be Improved. The pro
posed change run the gamut from minor
to radical, and if all were adopted the
game In 1M7 would certainly be a weird
affair. Among the suggestions already
made the more Important follow: The
uggestion which found general favor and
which will be submitted to the rule com
mittee, when It officially meets read, as
follows: "The substitution of a fifteen
yard penalty for the loss of the ball when
a forward pass hit the ground. The
abolition of the five-yard rule from center
In the forward pass. The allowing of two
forward passes In one scrimmage, K the
first does not cross the line of scrimmage.
No increase In the number of downs in
which to make ten yards. The exchanging
of positions between the ' linemen and
backs, providing that such a shift does
not produce mass plays. The abolition of

I sent him our 84-page book
containing photographs and full

I gave him the names ana ad

He wrote to these men and they
told him about tbe country ana
