FOBWAfiD PASS TO BE FEATURE
root Ball Will Her This IMny Much
tsed This Fall.
NEW YORK, Sept. H.-College foot ball
this aeaaon promise to produce the fastest
gamo even Been on the gridiron. The new
rulea successfully stood the test last year,
and the masters of the game have wisely
made the two changea which were neces
sary. Ten minutes has been added to the
playing time each half now being thirty
flve minutes long and the possibilities of
the forward pasa, so popular with specta
tors, have been Increased by muklng the
play less risky to use on the first and
second downs. Instead of losing the ball
in case the parward pass strikes the ground
before striking a player of either side,
the same side now retains possession of the
ball, but loBes fifteen yards. When the
forward pass Is essayed on the third
In case the forward pass strikes the ground
without striking a player, or Is otherwise
made Illegally, the ball must be surrend
ered to the other side, as was the case
last season.
Lengthening the game ten minutes Is
undoubtedly a good thing because it gives
a team a better opportunity to work out
Its campaign. Ijick of tlmo last year pre
vented several elevens from doing the lit
tle bit more necessary to prevent a tie
after the weakest point In the defense of
their opponent's had been discovered nnd
the best attack to use against them set
In motion, uflere Is no denying the fact
that the team capable of altering Its sys
tem of play should have the limit of time
In which to carry out Its complete pro
gram. The forward pass will probably be the
most popular play of the year. No team
last year, unless It had a man who was
very accurate In passing the ball, cared
to take any chances with the Innovation.
Tho players liked It, but they were afraid
of it. Rather than make a mess of the
play and lose the ball they fell back on
the old game. But things are changed
now, because tho possibility of making
twenty or thirty yards or possibly a touch
down with tho long pass will make the
loss of fifteen yards, should the play go
wild on the first or second down, look
very small. Then again many men behind
the line who were not very successful In
making the pass last year should ba cap
able of handling It this year and approach
the splendid achievements of Halfback
Veeder of Tale, who was peer In this de
partment of the game In 1906.
Another change which will stop much
argument permits a lineman to carry the
ball, provided he does not leave his posi
tion on the line until the ball Is put In
play. The ten-yard rule Is preserved ex
actly as before, having met with almost
general approval, In that It made far less
effective anything like mass plays, and
forced the open play, which everybody so
much desired.
BIO NINE TEAMS GETTING BUSY
Talking; About Freshman Hole, bat
Preparing to Play.
CHICAGO, Hept. 14. The foot ball rooters
of the west are looking forward with some
misgivings to the approach of the gridiron
season, for this fall the reform legislation
of ths Western conference will hit the ma
jority of the former "Big Nine" teams In
full force, and the coaches And the supply
of available men for the teams cut down
Just about one-half. For the first time In
western foot ball history only the sopho
mores and Juniors will be eligible for places
on the teams, owing to the four-year rule,
which ths conference has enforced this
year, and this leaves many good players,
now seniors, on the side lines. Tho under
graduates became fairly accustomed to the
lack of freshmen In the games last season,
but they put off the evil day wherein they
must reullse the deprivation of the seniors,
and now that It Is upon them they grieve
aorely.
Notwithstanding the handicap, the
coaches of the various teams are
mentally arranging their forces and
they hope for the best. Coach Alonso II
fitagg of tho University of Chicago says
that hs haa little- Idea how his team will
hap up, but with a few first-class men
remaining as a nucleus the others may be
worked up into form more easily, Hs has
two veteran halves In Captain Pe Tray
and Harold Iddlngs, and there are a num
ber of prospective backs of good ability,
chief of whom Is Taylor, who has speed
nough to plsy at end with advantage.
The quarterback position, left vacant by
Walter IX-kirsull. will probably fall to the
lot of 'Walter Steffen.
The Maroon team will have a large num
ber of new plays to master this season,
for. after the game with Minnesota last

which he had not brought Into use, and for
the last month he has been doping out
more maneuvers calculated to worry an
opposing team. He Is confident of formu
lating a plan of offense and defense before
practice begins on September 23, that will
Insure' a string of victories for Chicago.
Captain de Tray Is as confident of the suc
cess of these new plays, but both he and
his men will find the task of mastering the
details of each far from easy. Slgnuls
for 100 or more different plai must be well
studied lest they be confused and bring woe
Instead of triumph to an eleven.
However uncertain the outlook Is at Chi
cago, the foot ball men of tho University
of Wisconsin feel confident of a victorious
season. The Badger team will again he
coached by pr. C. P. Hutchlns. who re
turned recently from the east, and ho will
have as an assistant a man who Is as yet
unknown to the undergraduates, but who
Is said to be a well known foot ball star.
All but four of last year's team will return
to collego and all will be available this fall
If two or three of them work off their study
conditions successfully. The official train
ing, as allowed by the conference rules,
will begin on September 20, but several of
the men who have been attending the
summer school have been training on their
own hook and will bo In good trim when
they get out to fall on the plgakin. The
Drat game of the Badgers' season will be
played on October 26 with the University
of Illinois.
Illinois, by the way. will very likely pro
duce a tpeedy team this year. The alumni
has decided to get to work and help In the
coaching line this year In order to try and
get out a team better than the rather
medlvcre eleven which has represenieo
the blue and orange during the last two
seasons. Artie Hall, a former captain of
the team and one of the four coaches who
turned out the strong 1904 team, will be
head coach, and bis permanent assistant
will be Jus Llndgren. Also Hall expects
many of the alumni to descend upon the
practice field before the first game with
Chicago on October 19 and give their ad
vice to the players. There Is much inter
est fe't in the game with Chicago, for It
will be the first time that the Maroon
players have appeared at Urbana since
1K97, when Chicago won, 18 to 12. loacn
Hall Is confident that this year he will be
uhl to srive Stagg'a men an even closer
rub If he la not able to conquer them.

NEXT YEAR'S TEAMS IN SIGHT
y
Fans In Dl Lragari Oet Look at tho
Future.
NEW YORK, Sept. 14. Already talk
about next year's base ball teams Is rife
and the fans are beginning to else up the
artists who are slated to furnish 1908 en
tertainment. It Is all settled out In Cleve
land that the Blues wil'l line up practically
the same way next year as they did this
season. They have bought very few play
ers and the announcement has gone forth
that all the buying for this season has been
done. A few men may be drafted, but even
that Is doubt fnl. Monte Wood has been re
called from Albany, but It Is not likely that
ha will be used next year. Ben Caffyn has
been recalled from Akron, but Toledo of
tho American association wants him. The
Blues will probably line up next year as
follows: Joss, Rhoades, Hess, Thlelman,
Iilebhardt, Berger, Chech and. possibly,
Clarkson or Bernard, pitchers; Clarke, He
rnia and Wakefield, catchers; Stovall,
Lister and Daubert, first base; Lajole, sec
ond base; Turner, shortstop; Bradley, third
base; Perrlng and Nlll, utility tnflelders;
Hlnchman, Birmingham, Flick and Josh
Clarke, outfielders.
Since it has been said that this Is Ned
Hanlon's last year as leader of the Cincin
nati Reds, there Is much speculation as to
Who will fill his place. Bill Clarke, of the
Toledo American association team is a
likely candidate at present. There are
many base ball powers who think that
Clarke would make an Ideal leader for the
Reds. Ills succession to Hanlon's Job would
be popular in Cincinnati. If the place Is
offered to Clarke It Is said that BUI Ar
mour will not stand in tha way of his ac
ceptance. The recent purchase of Pitcher Lake
from the Jersey City club by Frank Farrell
of the Yankees has developed some feeling
between Farrell and Billy Murray of ths
Phillies, who also wanted Lake. Murray
owna a third Interest in the Jersey "City
olub. Lake was sold through a mistake
and because the president of the club Is a
friend of Farrell. Murray so desired Lake
that he went to Saratoga to explain the
mlHtake to Farrell. Farrell listened to the
wall attentively, but said nothing about re
leasing Lake to Murray.
BENDER IS A HEAP BIG INJUN
If Atbletlrs Win Pennant It Will Be
Da to Hint.
NKW YORK, Sept. H.-If the American
league pennant of lyf goes to Philadelphia
Connie Mack will find no one to whom
more thanks are due than his big Indian
pitcher. Albert Bender. Bender has made

i the Present seaaon for consecutive victories,
' i'v" a siar with the willow
ana came to the rescue of his team In
many a pinch. But it la his pitching rec
ord that commands most attention.
Beginning on June 35. Bender won everv
one of the eleven games he pitched until
August 2a. In those games the Athletics
scored forty-five runs, while their op-
poner.is scored out eleven, an average of
one run to a game. The opnoslag teams
i never scored more than two runs on Ben
dir. And the remarkable part of It Is that
j Bender was used aealnat the strongest
j teams on the league, the teams thst are
racing the Athletics for the pennant. On
August 20 Bender's streak was broken when

Bender clinched the hold of the Athletics
on the pennant two years ago. Wise ones

STYLE AMONG BALL PLAYERS
Being Physical Style, Such a Grare t
and Finish.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE STARS
1
Men Whoir Work Attracts Ileoanso
of the Manner of It na
Mucli as by Their
Ability.
While style does not amocnt to a pinch
of snuff In making n base ball plnyer any
the more valuable as a performer. It does !
not do him any l.nrni. and It gives ft dis
tinction to his play that goes well wl'h
patrons of the game. It Is an ornamental
rather than a us. -fnl attribute, an Intangible
sort of a quality, but none the losa In evi
dence. There are players In the big league
ranks whose bearing, whose mannerisms,
so to speak, attract attention and make
them prominent and oft-times popular In n
degree secondary only to thtir ability to
play the game.
Four players stand out above all the
others In the possession of this quality of
style. They are Napoleon Ltijole of the
Clevelanda, Hal Chaie.or the New York
Americans, Jimmy Collins of the Philadel
phia Americans and John (llomts) Wagner
of the Pittsburgs. Wagner Is somewhat
different from the other three. He Is not
the graoefd player they are Indeed grace
Is not his strong point hut his movements
and methods on the field nre none the less
pronounced.
The brawny, active Flttsburg shortstop
possesses a rough one Is tempted to say
uncouth dash nnd energy that Is good to
look upon. He Is the personification of
power and nglllty and skill not from the
smoothness of his movements when In ac
tion, but for his ability to swoop hither and
thither In pursuit of batted balls and to
deal mighty Wows to the ball with bis bat,
In spite of want of smoothness of move
ment. His Is the activity and strength of
the gorilla quickness, rapidity In getting
over ground at seeming vnrlanee with his
bulk, masked when In repose by an appear
ance of primitive clumsiness.
Chase Is a Wonder.
Chase is a type of an altogether different
sort. He is the other extreme. Like Wag
ner, he Is fast, but, unlike Wagner, his
every motion and position betoken speed.
No other player on the diamond equals him
In clan. He Is as lithe nnd unstudied In
his movements aB a panther. He combines
naturalness, gracefulness nnd a certain boy
ish unrestralnedness. There Is a magnetism
about him that brings people out tn the
hall park "Just to see Chase play." This
aside from hlB skill as a player. He Is a
big drawing card, as are Wagner and
Lajole.

""V"
U(J.l,
Jimmy Collins Is Finished.
There Is more finish to the graceful move
ments of Jimmy Collins than to the wUder,
freer movements of Chase. The word
"finished" describes Collins better than any
other. He seems to be In repose whether
standing still or gliding over the turf" for a
ground hit. He Is not particularly graceful
or a fast runner on the bases, but on a
bunt, for Instance, there Is sureness, speed
and admirably Judged expenditure of energy
In his movements. His poise is well nigh
perfect muscles and nervous force and the
brain that directs them seem to be In
harmonious accord. He always has com
mand of his physical equipment. His style
is finished, polished; his "form" proper. In
throwing, waiting for a fly ball or making a
play on a ground ball he Is a master of
technique.
Now, as to Lajole, there is not tho dash
or the verve In his playing that accompany
the work of Chase and Wugner. Larry Is
graceful, however. Also he Is tall, straight
and a fine figure of a man. He probably
has a larger Individual following than iny
player in the country. He und Wagner ure
ths most conspicuous figures on tho ball
field, with Chase a close second.
The great charm of Lajole's work Is Its
ease. Nothing looks difficult for him

He dips

his manner of taking a ball on the bound

possess as many qualities that go to beget i Bummpr

possess some to make their playing attrac

Uoolln of the Philadelphia Nationals is one
of these. He Is lithe, slim and fust. Joe
Tinker of the Chicago Nationals has uny
amount of dash, while Kid Elberfeld is
noted for his peppery ways. The prettiest
runner in base bull Is George Browne of
the Polo grounds. Arthur Devlin, not espe
cially graceful, has any amount of vitality
and dash.
I'obb Fall of Daring.
Ty Cobb of the Detroit s Is a player of
strong characteristics. He Is a louse Jointed,
Umber, aggrressive chap, full of during, best
satisfied when he Is doln something. He
attracts attention. So does Magic of the
Philadelphia Nationals. Mugee is graceful
and a man you always expect to do some

bearing. Resolution is stamped all over
him. He looks the situation squuiely in the

MOTOR BOAT CLUB'S RACE WEEK
llnilson Hlvrr to lie ffrene of Fxcltlnar
t Ontesf .
NEW YORK. Sept. 14,-The race week
of the Motor Boat Club of America, In
which Is Included tho national motor boat
carnival, will ho held on the Hudson river
commencing the week of 8eptembr SI. It
Is an event that brli.gs together Ihe great
est fleet of high speed boats that have
ever participated In one event. Boats of
the high speed type and pleasure boats as
well compete and the great Interest dis
played by owners of the latter type of boats
bespeaks for the occasion a greater number
of entries than'the club has ever received
On previous occasions owners of pleasure
boats have been holding alorf, owing to
the fact that In many events they have
been compelled to enter against racers.
The rules this year, however, separate the
racing from the pleasure boats, and when
a boat, by reason of the difference In rating
for horse power between racer and cruiser,
may rate In cither division It Is classed as
a racer.
Interest In the race week far surpasses
that of any other year, nnd there Is no
event held where there Is such a diversified
list of events, in fact every kind of racing
one might wish to Indulge In. Events are
open to members of all regularly organised
yacht or motor boat clubs of the United
Slates, Kurone or Canada, and the races
nre governed by tho rules of the Motor
Boat Club of America. An entrance fee
of $5 covers nil entries for events In which
tho boat Is to participate, and which Is
returned to tho owner If the boat takes
part In the events In which It Is entered.
The propelling power may be any form of
combustion engine, using gasoline, kerosene
or naphtha.
The program of events for the week Is na
follows? Monday, September 23, reliability
trials; Tuesday morning, September 24, mile
speed trials against existing world's
ri'cords; Tuesday afternoon, free-for-all-race,
also races for motor dingeys, and will
generally be looked upon as ladies' day;
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, series
races, all classes, in which are Included the
; perpetual challenge trophies for the cham-
design and efficiency of boats propelled by
Internal combustion engines. Points are
awarded for reliability In operation, regu
larity in covering the course, or uniformity
of cpeed throughout the test; fuel economy,
lubricating economy, speed, reversibility,
ease of control, starting nnd final condi
tion of boat after trial. These trials will
extend over a period of six hours, from 11
a. m. to 5 p. m. AH boats will race as one
class, a first prize being awarded the boat
obtaining the highest number of marks, a
second prize where four or more boats
complete the trials and a third prize If
seven or more boats comply with that con
dition Certificates of performance, show
ing speed, distance run, number of stops,
consumption and other politts will also be
given to all boats that complete the trial.
In the event of a tie In the total number of
marks the boat with the highest number of
murks for reliability shall take precedence;
In the event of their still being a tie speed
shall be taken, and so on, In the order of
the respective values of the points.
SWEDEN AND OLYMPIC GAMES
Scandinavian Athletes Prepare for
Hta Meet at London,
NEW YORK, Sept. 14. Sweden Is busily
engaged preparing for the London Olympic
I names next year. The Swedes went to the
: Olympic 'games at Athens last year and
surprised the world by finishing second
' In tho point score. England claimed the
honor on the points scored by Its far
away colonists, but It rightly belonged to
the plucky men of Sweden.
A fact that will favor the Swedes In
the London Olympiad Is that the games
will be held In midsummer. Because of
the early date of the Grecian Olympiad In
li the Swedes had to go into the meet
with scarcely a day's preparation. All
their grounds were snow bound up to the
time they left for Athens, in April, while
such a thing as an Indoor track Is un
known In Sweden. Next year they will
have ample time to prepare and the
chances are they will show some amazing
performances.
Anions the men Sweden will send to the
London Olympiad are Svanberg, the dls-
tance runner; Hellstrom. a 4.21 mller; Mel-
lander, the ull-around winner at Athens

NEW PHASE OF COLLEGE ROWING
Single rnlla to lie Added tn Itaees
at Panahkeepale.
NEW YORK, Sept. 14. -If the sentiments
expressed at an Informal conference of
college, coaches who have their wards in
the Poughkeepsle reaatta every year have
any weight at the annual meeting of the
Intercolh glnte Rowing association, then a
new feature will be added to next year's
racing program. It will be a race for
single sculls. At the conference Kills F.
Ward of the University of Pennsylvania.
James C. Rice of Columbia and James A.
Ten Eyck of Syracuse pledged themselves
to provide single scullers for next year's
regstta. Tho coaches Joined In the opin
ion that, with the consent of the stewards
of the association, It will be possible to
furnish every season some of the best ex
hibitions of single sculling ever seen in
this country.
Years ago single sculling wss a part of
the annual racing, but Interest In It lagged
and It finally was withdrawn. Now the,
conches are enthusiastic over the prob
able renewal ef this branch of waterman- I
ship. With tho resumption of sculling- It j
Is hoped that interest In the racing of
sculling crews will pe aroused and that
eventually quadruple and octuple sculling
crew events will be listed in the pro
gram. BOSHTU BILL MUST WAIT LONG
Not Likely to Get Another Match In
America Soon.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. It-Jimmy
Cofrroth expected to match Al Kauffman
with BUI Squires, but Billy Delaney states
that his protege has received a theatrical
offer in the east, which he will accept.
Squires, however, Is to blame for the
match falling through. Two weeks ago
CofTroth went tn San Rafael to secure the
Australian's signature to a contract to
box Kauffman, Delaney having already
accepted on behalf of the latter, but the
slow, methodical Antipodean declined to
sign articles, stating that he would wait
until after the big fight. If ho had signed
at that time the fight would have been
held at the Mission street arena the latter
part of this month. As it is. Boshter BUI
may have a long wait before he gets an
other opportunity to show his worth to
an American audience.
TROUBLE WITH YALE ATHLETES
Several Specialists Will Not Itetorn
to School.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept. 14.-Several
rumors bearing on the athletic situation In
all Its branches, are .floating about at Yale,
and, although they are most disquieting,
they will not down. The principal report Is
that Captain Charles Ide, captain of the
'varsity crew last spring, who was re
elected to the position for next year, will
not return to college. It Is also said that
William Ooebel, guard on the 'varsity foot
ball team and record breaking shotputter,
has given up college because of his fath
er's death, and that Fred Murphy, a fresh
man foot ball star of last season, who was
expected to make the 'varsity team this
fall, haa decided to go to Princeton.
ST. ANDREW'S CLUB IS GRACIOUS
l'. S. Q. A. Mar Sosraest Changes In
tho Golf Holes.
NEW YORK. Sept. lt.-Captaln Burn,
chairman of '.the rules committee of St.
Andrew's Golf club of Scotland, haa writ
ten Daniel Chaunoey, president of the
United States Golf association. In reply to
the letter's letter suggesting that America
be represented In the revision of the rules ,
as follows:
It Is with the greatest satisfaction that
I received your letter of the 24th ult.,
and It will receive full attention from the
rules of golf committee at their meeting
In September. When the rules were last
framed, in 1902, it was perfectly under
stood that the questions submitted to the
rules committee would disclose weak spots
In them, and It was merely a question of
how long a time should elapse before
these errors had to be corrected. Last
May the rules committee decided that, as
about two hundred questions had been
submitted, the time had arrived when this
should be done, and I am glad to say that
the work Is progressing more rapidly than
seemed possible. In accordance with tha
promise that was made by my predecessor,
B. Hall Biyth, you shall have a rough
draft of the amended rules Immediately
they are read. Meantime, It will be of tho
greatest service to us If your association
can give us a note of the points which It
wishes altered; and, if I might venture a
suggestion merely for our convenience In
tabulating them along with our own points
It Is that the present rules be taken In
order as a basis and the point noted
against It, as, for Instance, "Medal Rule
6. Penalty too severe; suggest it should
be, etc."
Any other views which your association
holds regarding the rules as to tabulation,
etc., will receive every attention from the
rules of golf committee.
