IT should not bo neeeseary to enact a
law forbifldlna; manager to dim-lone,
prior to time of delivery, the name
of player sold or traded. The evil
of such a shiftless custom should be
so Impressive by this time that managers,
for eel f-pi election, would refrain from It.
The B has taken this position before,
and It bellevea the reasons that actuated
It on former occasions exlnt and are more
Patent today than ever. Events of the last
few weeks of the base ball season fur
nished ample evidence for the argument
that manager makes a serious mistake
whenever he lets player know that he
has been ,sold. The effect, too often, on
the player la bad. It Is not necessary to
go beyond th membership of the Omaha
team to find a flagrant example. One
very flashy player whose sale to a big
league team was heralded far and ule
dropped from a batting average of far over
.300 and a. splendid fielding and base run
ning average to the mediocre class and
wound up th season rather an ordinary
player than the real star he was and had
keen throughout the season. Other such
examples are not lacking In the Western
league. Of course, all players are not af
fected th same way. (Some don't allow a
promotion to affect them, but ball play
ers are like the rent of the human family
and some prove too lame to resist the
temptation to yield to the subtle spirit of
Indifference under such circumstances, feel
ing that they have a record to fall back
tpon and that will carry them through.
If, this very Omaha player had put up the
game before his Vurchase that he did
after, his purchase would never have come
about. And then there are other reasons
that should commend themselves to own
era and managers for adopting a more dis
creet policy with reference to the exchange
of players, and the wonder Is that It has
not been adopted long ago.
Wagner and Cobb compared In the recent
world's series about as well as twosuch
stars under the same conditions might be
expected to compare. Wagner batted .STB.
Cobb .231. Wagner stole six ibases, Cobb,
the marvel of speed, two. The comparison
Is all against Cobb, and many fans have
concluded on the basis of the showing the
po men made that Wagner is far and
J' Jvay the better ball player: all of which
nubtlens Is true, and nobody seems to
jlecognlza that fact moro readily than
f'obb himself. Before the series began the
. if-oung Tiger reproved a friend for oompar-
flng him with Wagner and after the series
had got under way he expressed the wish
that he might one day become as great a
player as Wagner. But a word Is to be
said In Cobb's favor, especially as to the
matter of base running, the department
of the1 game in which he is so far ahead
( tf any1 other man In the American league
I It Is a notable fact that Detroit's catching
i department Is not strong and that In
j every one- of the three world's series the
C.catchers have been decidedly weak on
etr throwing. On the other hand, Glb
wn of Pittsburg was at his best during
the recent battle and his best means as
gtfod as there Is, for Gibson throws with
Irtadly precision and Is as great a catcher
sj extsta. Manifestly this gives Wagner a
tremendous advantage. It is seriously to
beV doubted tf Wagner would have stolen
six bases had ha been running against a
eatcher' of the Olbson class, and the cir
cumstances of the case force the question.
"Might not tba results have been reversed
had Olbson been behind the bat for De
troit and Kohmtdt or - (Manage for Pitts
burg?" But, of course, a seasoned Wagner
Is a better ball player than a growing
Cobb and - that Is not disparaging the
young Georgian In the least.
What does the winter hold for the West
ern league? That Is a question of prime
interest. If the Invasion on the part of the
some American association teams should
transpire by spring then the fate of the
Western Is -a reorganization; If this In
iainn la AalavaA a vaar' the circuit out
p r rl
' her will, tn all probability, remain intact.
, Without wishing to disturb the equili
brium of tha base ball world to the det
riment of the game, Omaha hopes for
the Invasion and the sooner the better.
There; Is no reason why Its untlmate re
sulto should be other than beneficial. The
base ball world Is a big one and Is grow
ing an there! la enough patronage to tha
cities that would be Invaded to go around.
Omaha's Interest, of course. Is selfish. It
wants to get Into faster company, . where
it belongs. It has been on a waw a
circuit long enough.

Player, and Spectator! Alike.
CRITICAL PERIOD OF THE GAME
Important Conference and Agreement
at Winter of lNn-loo at ew
Haven and What It Meant
to the Uaair,
In the winter of Wb-VMb, before an open
fire at New Haven, with sleet and snow
beatln at the windows and the wind
howling a gale cutside. three men sat
thrashing out the never-falling mbject of
foot ball strategy. One was the captain
of the next year's team at Yale, the second
the field coach and the third was a grad
uate adviser.
"It's the fundamentals we must work
on." said the field coach. "The reason
why we had such a close call last year
was because we have been gradually drift
ing away from the good old principles of
blocking your man, getting through and
tackling low. I tell you, any toitm that
masters those fundamentals In the ' f lm
month can then build up a g.ime that
will win." a
"That's true," said the captain. "We
worked on other things so much that we
were certainly weak In the cardinal prin
ciples." "I agree absolutely with that.'' said the
adviser, "but I also believe that in the
general system the possibilities of offense
are not half exhausted and that a set of
plays can be given a team that will sim
ply annihilate the defense of the oppo
nents, provided, of course, the men know
straight foot ball."
"By Jove! It would be pretty fine," said
the captain, "if we could do that!"
"It can be done," said the graduate, "but
It will be the hardest for you and the
coach to carry It out."
"What do you mean by that?" queried
the coach.
"Because the plays will be entirely un
satisfactory to everybody while they are
being put In practice. By the first of No
vember everyone will critlse them, bemoan
ths time spent upon them and predict the
direst failure if they are continued."
(are, He Means It.
"Do you really mean .that?"
"Certainly 7. do, and then it will be up
to you to 'stand the gaff,' as they say,
and carry them through until they begin
to have their effect. The first week they
may work a little from their very novelty
and because the men are Interested. Then
before the Individual members of the team
bave had sufficient practice to make them
complete every movement with precision,
the defense will prove the stronger. The
scrub, will stop the plays or tangle them
all up; the team will first lose confidence,
then ambition, and finally you will find
even your best men, while not In rebellion,
desirous of dropping the plays anil
going back to the simple ones upon which
they have been drilled in the past."
'I can't believe that," said the captain.
"They must see that It Is practice prac
tice that Is needed."
"But that Is just what they cannot be
lieve, and even you and your coach here
will be ready to abandon the plays."
"Not If you say they are good."
"Well, If my judgment of pace and the
present defense Is not all wrong, I am
sure the plays will come out all right. If
you will keep at them to the end."
"We'll stick to them fast enough," Jaun
tily returned the captain.
"It's a bargain then," suld the graduate.
"I'll lay them out and give thera tr you."
Tha whiter passed and the spring and
summer. Fall practice began, and the aeries
of plays was put Into effect. They - were
based entirely upon the theory that the
opponents had been taught to play low and
to chargo forward Immediately upon the
snap of the ball. The lines of attack were
so disposed as to make this very chargo
of each man In his line place him In such
a position that except by tcemendous effort
he could not recover his balance so as to
oppose effective resistance to the attack.
The new plays necessitated a heavy full
back, and no other being at hand, on of
the tackles. Perry Hale, waB taken from
the linn and made the regular full-back.
Another .green player was placed at tackte.
Chance Brought Criticism.
By the first of November great was tho
criticism of the team. It was "slow, pain
fully slow." A respectable end run was
certainly out of the question. The back
field, to use the expression of one of the
coaches, waa "slower than molasses In
January." Finally the captain called up
the graduate one evening and said that he
thought they would have to put the full
back up at tackle again and get ft faster,
lighter mart who could keep up pace
enough to keep up with the rest of the
backs.
"But that means thu abandonment of the
plays," said the graduate.
"I know; but every one says they pever
will work, and something must be done."
"Where's McBrlde?" asked the graduate,
naming the field coach.
"Over In his room at the hotel," said the
captain.
"I am going down to see him. Don't do
anything till I see you later."
"All right; but thlnrs look pretty dark."
When the three men met later In the
evening. It was a depressing occasion. The
captain reported that almost every man
on the team had lost confidence. He had
talked with them Individually, and all
wanted the back field speeded up and
Hals, the heavy fullback, put Into his old
position at tackle. The coach said that he
was hearing nothing else from the coaches
who had seen the gam In New York
against Columbia.
It was Indeed a serious time, but it was
finally agreed that the present positions
and plays should be maintained until the
gam with the Carlisle Indians, and if by
that time and in that game they did not
show their worth, the graduate wis will,
lug to see them abandoned, and Hale sent
up Into the line at tacke, and a faster
back field developed. Only one who has
either captained or coached a foot ball
team can appreciate the feelings of these
three men on the eve of the Indian game.
Each knew that failure then meant too
short a time to develop the' team along
other lines. They had virtually burned
their bridges behind them, and Were now to
stake their season on the work of the next
afternoon.
Radical (ban are Made.
On that evening a still further chance
waa detenuium uou. The big full-back
was such a factor in himself that ' the
graduate urged an even greater hasard,
but a betUT test of the play. He sug
gested that another man, Dupee, should
replace Hale for that game man not
nearly so powerful, but one who knew the
plays and would by the experience ut a
game fit himself to take tha placeSt the
full-back In the later championship games
with Harvard and Princeton, should any
Injury lucapacltate the regular man. This
emed Indeed too much, but was finally
accepted, and the two teams lined up.
From the very start the Yale team, with
Its new plays, marched down the field
through and over the bewildered opponents,
six, eight, ten, a duicn ..s at a 3ou,
untUl the coach of the Indians exclaimed:
"I rannot understand "hst is the matter
with my men. I never saw them so turn
pletely at a."
The final score was to 0. and the
plays hsd "made good." The Princeton
game was won ?t to K. and the Harvard
game 38 to 0. and within a year half the
teams In the country were playing "tackle
hack" plays. In the game of that year
Harvard played apiain-t Yale no fewer than
twenty men. They were considerably
heavier than the Yale men, and yet the
majority of those who wore taken out were
not Injured, but rather so exhauxted by
their efforts to meet these plays ns to
make Inadvisable to replace them with
fresh men.
Huch an Incident of a foot ball campaign
may throw some light upon the reasons
why the sport has acquired Its tenacious
hold upon players and vpectuior. History
shows that the game of foot, ball has been
severely criticised and denounced and even
forbidden by law, but with singular In
sistence It continues to aert Its vitality,
and it never wss more popular than In
America today. Kant and west, north and
south. It spreads. Whatever objections
there may be to It or. rather, to the abuse
of It the history of the sport would Indi
cate that It Is "here to stay," and the part
of wisdom both of Its advocates and Its
critics would seem to consist in endeavor
ing to eliminate the objectionable fea
tures. Walter Camp In November Century.
HEAVIER TEAMS ARE BENEFITED
i v.
Hew Rale Give Advantage to Team
With Most Wright.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-For the first time
In many years a new rule has been adopted
in foot ball that Is to the advantage of
the heavier team. .All of the big elevens
ar jumping at the opportunity to put the
ball in play on the twenty-five-yard lino
after a touchback. Instead of being com
pelled to kick off as was required under
the old rule. This play may be a little
technical to the spectator, but it Is of
immense advantage to a team that under
ordinary conditions has the upper hand
while In possession of the ball.
Under the former rule after a touchback
had been made the side making the touch
down was required to bring the ball out to
the twenty-five-yard line and kick It to
their opponents. The new rule permits
them to Immediately put the ball In scrim
mage If they desire. This gives the team
ft chance to keep possession of the ball
until It has tried all the ways at Its com
mand of advancing It. If It falls it can
Still resort to the punt, which is just as
good as a kick-off from the twenty-five-yard
line. In two of the games last Sat
urday the' "Big Four" teams put the ball
In play this way and carried It all tho way
across the field.
There is always danger In giving the ball
to a fast squad of opponents on a kick.
They are likely to bring the ball back past
the middle of the field and the goal will
again be endangered. Under this new rule,
however, a team can rush the ball out of
danger, and then If It is desired punt it
out of any kind of danger, All of the big
college, teams are delighted with this
change In the rules. It somewhat lessens
their growing fear of the formerly weak
teams who are becoming more of a menace
every season.
If the rule makers Intended to put ft
damper on drop kicking or goals from the
field when they fixed the value of that
kind of a goal at three points their plans
have gone sadly awry. The most spectac
ular features of foot ball In these days of
open play are the drop kick and the for
ward pas. The sight of a ball spinning
from the field and through the goal posts
gives the foot ball enthusiast the same
thrill as does ft hqme run in base ball with
two out. The fact that It now takes two
field goals to equal a touchdown has not
dampened the ardor of the kickers in the
least. . It was a drop kick that saved
Princeton from being blanked In the game
with Fordham, and tho Carlisle' Indiana
have used the play repeatedly to pile up
large scores.
For a while the Yale, Princeton and Har
vard teams figured thai they need not pay
so much attention to the development of
drop kickers as in the past, but in the last
few days there has been ft runli on the
part of the coaches to dip up booters of
class. All of a sudden they realized up
at Harvard that it was a field goal that
beat Yale last year.
Coach McCormlck of Princeton figures,
and very sensibly, too, that, while a field
goal will not beat a touchdown, the other
team must have a touchdown to beat the
kick. And touchdowns ar not so easily
made under the rule requiring that ten
yards must be made In three downs.
Stndants to Support Crew.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23. Savannah, instead
of Marlln Springs May be the training
quarters of the Giants next spring. At any
rate, strong pressure Is being brought by
sporting men of the Georgia city to induce
Manager McGraw to bring his aggregation
of ball tossers to that 'city.
The plan haa already been broached to
McGraw by several Savanahites who are
now here booming the project. Nick Cor

club. Is Interested in the scheme.
The Savannah club, It 1s understood. Is to
provide Itself with an up-to-date park for

East and West.
INDIFFERENCE AT PRINCETON
nmetblnx Abnnt Charles ' W ilson,
Princeton's fw Trarlc roach,
nnd Men He Will Hare
Thin easos).
The new track coach at Princeton,
Charles II. Wilson, has begun his work
there. Wlleon succeeds such men as Wal
ter Christie, the lute Jim Robinson und Al
Copoland in a place that Is by no means
easy to fill. Track sports at Princeton
have not been successful nt all for yeare,
barring of course, the team of isoo. which
was second in the Intercollegiate games.
Wherefore many changes In coaches, each
in turn being taken up enthusiastically,
subsequently to sever Ills connection with
the place with no, great feeling of loxs on
either side.
It need not be Imagined that this is In
variably the fault of the trainer. Some
trainers might eally have known a little
more or might have been willing to be
taught by experience. There might have
been a trifle more tact shown or a bit
greater tendency toward conciliation or
coaxing. The men who tried to build up
track teams at Trlnceton did not 'fall be
cause they wanted to. It was a matter of
a living and a pleasant Situation If they
coi-.ld make good.
But there Is, for one thing, a fatal In.
difference to track sports at Princeton,
which comes as a blight on the hupes of
the average trainer. The men are there,
goodness knows. They can be seen in the
streets, on the lawn tennis courts, on the
scrub baso ball diamond) in the spring, or
on the foot ball fields In the autumn, or on
the lake In good weather. They are al
most everywhere but on the track In run
ning suits. They tell you there "Prince
ton's great spring sport is base ball," and
their part la it Is to sit on the bleachers
to watch the varsity playing. The ma
terial la there, but it remains still for
Princeton to show anything much better
than a one man track team.
Not Knonarh Application.
Furthermore, some of those men who do
come out appear to feel that track and
field proficiency can be gained all In one
week, Husky foot ball men report a week
before a meet, as an especial favor, and
undertake to become first raters In that
time. A well known weight thrower be
longing to a club in this city it was not
Flanagan, as will appear went down to
Princeton once or twice In the last two
years to help coach. His Impressions were
something like these: "A big foot ball
man, who hasn't trained a step since the
fall, comes out to throw tha hammer In
the spring, and Just because he has a lot
of strength he and every one else around
there gets the Impression he ought to catch
on right away and be throwing ' record
distances In no time. In fact, tf he doesn't,
the college will pronounce htra dub. Just
because he haa strength they think he
should be doing In a week what John Flan
agan ha worked years to attain. That Is
the spirit there with the field men."
So it la, between lndif forence and cock
surenes tha,t Princeton track athletic
have suffered. If Wilson, the new trainer,
Is to do good work there, he will need help.
He cannot do everything all alone and un
less the undergraduates begin this autumn
to work for him, he won't have the chance
to do himself justice. It is hardly the right
thins; to hire a man to coach a team when
the material Isn't supplied to him, too.
This Isn't Wilson's first attempt at
coaching a college track team. He Just lift
Purdue, which is to the middle west what
Princeton is to the east. That is, it Is the
weak track athletic college. Wilson did
good work at Purdue the last two seasons,
so he has a fair chance to oope with Prince
ton lndifferenceuntil he strangles It. That
Is his only way of making a Buccess of his
term at Princeton.
Wilson Is much on tho type of man that
James K. Sullivan said some time ago
ought to make a good trainer for a college.
He was himself an athlete around Chicago
for some years and competed in almost
everything. He wasn't a topnolcher as a
performer, but It doesn't take a world's
champion to make the best trainer. Wil
son competed for the First Regiment Atlf
letic association of Chicago. About eight
years ago he quit the amateur side and
took up professional training.
Wilson's Career.
Ho had a good relay team of the First
regiment at the Pan-American games in
Buffalo. After three seasons with the
First regiment, he took up work with tho
Central Young Men's Christian association
of Chicago and after two seasons with
those athletes he was engaged by the Uni
versity of Illinois. After one year Purdue
wanted him, and he went to Lafayette for
two seasons.
So Wilson, who is now only 32 years old,
lean, keen-eyed and hardy looking, comes
to Princeton with some experience even if
not heralded as a world beater. Anyway,
it isn't so much what he has done as what
he will do that counts, Wilson looks as it
he could do much. He has taken hold
well at Princeton and there Is enthusiasm
over his coming.
Wilson was recommended to Princeton

CLAY COURT TENNIS IN OMAHA
Tennis Faperta Hare at I.nat Aroused
the Rast to Recognition. "
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-In many way It
Is evident that there Is a growing dis
position among lawn tennis players to be
come pioneers along lines which have
heretofore been little explored or not
penetrated at all. Among the follower
of the sport the contlnuanoe of the lawn
tennis prestige, class and control to ft
limited numbers of players In ' the east
has appeared unfortunate. Yet this group
of men, by position of office and playing
skill, had made themselves the dominant
factors. It has heretofore been Impossible
to fairly align against them adequate
reasons for changes, except Insofar as
their loose methods of upholding the rules
and of enforcing tournament management
were concerned.
But the players of the middle west have
at last taken a stand which promises In
some ways to change the lawn tennis
man of this country. These players In
tend to hold an earth court national chaifc
plonship tournament next season. Two
years ago they promulgated the same
Idea, but without success. Under able
leadership, however, of such men as Dr.
P. B. Hawk, now of the University of
Illinois at Urban, 111.; Will M..Wood of
the Omaha Field club, Omaha, Neb., and
Ralph Holterholt of the Ohio Lawn Ten
nis association of Cincinnati, O., It I eafe
to predict that the plan of a national
tournament upon the hard earth playing
surfaces will surely be decided and under
tho'' sanction and direction of the United
States National Lawn Tennis association.
It must be admitted that the appearance
of the Californlans among eastern lawn
tennis players created a rlppie that ha
stirred every follower of the courts
throughout the country. Their perform
ance awakened especially the middle west
to the fact that It was quite possible and
probable that among Its clubs and courts
were young players who needed but the
Inspiration to bring forth men approach
ing the skill, courage and hardihood of a
McLoughlln or a Long.
They argued as they did two years ago
that, whereas. It was Impossible for many
of their western players to mov on to
Newport, and there experience the dis
heartening uncertainty of the difference
between the earth . playing surfaces and
turf. It was quite possible for the situa
tion to be reversed and tha west, or mid
dle section of this broad country, where
earth courts abound and where glass
playing surfac Is a rarity, t hold
national championship of their own under
reasonable circumstances and conditions
which would be of material benefit to the
game In every way.
At the time that the project was brought
before the National association two years
ago at its annual nteeting of the Waldorf
Astoria, the Idea was fairly well sup
ported by argument. It being mad evident
that the request wa quite within reason
able scope, because a national champion
ship tournament was held upon turf,, as
at Newport, another was held indoors
upon boards at thus national Indoor Meet
ing on the Seventh Regiment Armory
courts, and that whereas the greater part
of the playing In this country waa upon
other surfaces than turf. It was quite
reasonable to promulgate such a tourna
ment. Frederick B. Alexander, the Inter
nationalist last year, who has always been
regarded as the peer of all player upon
th dirt courts, was In favor of this cham
