FOOT BALL RULES CHANGED
Committee Will Meet in February to
Decide on Alterations.
CHANGES ARE TO BE TRIED

M b Irk Mar n a-estea'
at Mrrllnc.
NKW TOKK, Jan. 22. According to let
t in and dispatches from the south. It will
nut be an entirely theoretical net of con
ditions which will confront tha foot ball
rules committee when It meets In this
city next month. Prof. Dennis of Cornell,
.chairman of the committee, recently sent
letters to all the members of the commlt
tta requesting them to name dates In Feb
ruary which would be agreeable to them
as conference days. . As yet he has not
received enough replies to be able to fix
tin a date which will be convenient to a
majority of the fourteen members of the
committee. It Is known, however, that the
mc rllng will not he called until about the
middle of next month.
In the Interim the leading members of
the committee expect to conduct a series
of experiments which will enable thetn to
grasp In a practicable manner the effect
of some of the proposed changes In the
foot ball playing code. In past years when
the foot ball rules committee has felt
called upon to alter the code many of the
changes were taken at their face value
. or on the recommendation of members
who had wltm-Hsed a crude tryout of the
proposed Innovation. As a result' It has
- sometimes happen 'd that the change did
not prove as satisfactory as had been
hoped for, a.id In fact proved of little ad
vantage. Unless the plans of the various members
of the committee miscarry, this will not
, be the case at the coming meeting. While
the proposed amendments which have been
offered as a solution of the conditions
which confront the game of football of to
day are radical In the extreme, the Com
mittee will not be obliged to discuss Its
, work blindly. In order that something
' concrete may be known, of the working of
the resultant plays under the proposed
changes It has been decided to give thei
, suggestions practicable tryouts ori the foot
ball field, with two college elevens as the
" means of the experiment. Blnce such a
. test could not be conducted on northern
gridirons at this season of the year, t&e
tryouts will be conducted on the foot ball
fields of the far south, whera weather
' conditions somewhat similar to a northern
j auturnn prevail at the present time.
. . . Tests to Be Made. '
, Ko far two Institutions have volunteered
their football teams for these experiments,
, and If there Is no hitch In the plans of the
' members of the committee will have
. a 'mass of first-hand Information relative
." to the worth of the proposed innovations
in the play, which will enable them to
. weigh the practicable utility of the same.
, At the University of Virginia at Charlotte
' vllle, Dr. V. A. Lambeth, who Is a mem
ber of the rules committee, will experi
ment, using the members of the first and
second elevens of that Institution. Captain
;' Yancey of the varsity team has entered
Into the spirit of the plan, as well as all
the members of the squad, and the players
have voluntarily agreed to resume light
training In order that they may be phy
sically able to give a capable demonstra
tion of the worth of the suggestions.
Further south, at the Georgia School of
Technology, a similar course of procedure
will be In order. Under , the guidance of
Coach Helaman there will be one or more
games played by elevens representing
Junior and senior classes of the institute.
These games, as In the case In ths trials
at tne university of Virginia, will be
conducted undsr a rough code already
drawn up by several of the leading mem
bers of the rules committee. Each move
of the players under what may possibly
be the foot ball code for 1910 will be care
fully noted. The resultant effects, both
from an offensive and "a defensive stand
point, will be carefully noted.
Complete reports of the value of the
suggested changes as shown In actual
competition will be- ready for submission
to the committee as a whole at Its coming
meeting in this city next month. In ad
dition those members of the body who
have-been able to watch the experiments
.. will explain the workings In detail. As a
result it Is hoped that when the discus
sion becomes general the rules cpmmlttee
T will have nn excellent Idea of the way the
proposed changes will work out on the
college foot brll field If they are enacted
Into the 1910 rules.
Camp Has SngKestlon. ,
It will not be possible to try out aR the
suggestions for Improving the game, since
they run Into hundreds. There are, how
ever, a number of radical changes which
. will come In for actual experiment, espe
cially those made by Walter Camp, wherein
It has been proposed to limit the width of
the forward line to ten yards. Mr. Camp's
suggestion was "let no player In the at
tack or the defence line up outside two
lines running parrallel to the side lines,
each of these lines being five yards from
the ball, thus making the scrimmage line
ten yards In width." At first sight this
. would appear to restrict the activities of
. the players and be conductive to a re
' turn of the old-style niaBs play which It Is
. the object of the rules committee to elim
inate. It may be found, however, that by coop
ing up the players in a smaller space new
plays will be evolved to make the neces
sary numbers of downs. Mr. Camp has also
suggested that the quarterback be per
milted to run with the ball without .the
five-yard restriction to right or left which
new -prevails. He further proposes that
any forward pass made over the scrimmage
line be Illegal, and that It be necessary to
gain fifteen lines; ten yards' between the

twenty-five and fifteen-yard lines and five
yards .between that point and the goal
lines.
Along entirely different lines are the sug
gestions advanced by Kdwln Fauver, the
physical director of Rwarthmore, college.
Mr. Fanver's suggestions, which are both
unique end radical, are as follows:
"1. To remove the rule preventing pass
ing over the line of scrimmage.
"2. To shorten the game and to to de
cieane the number of Injuries through ex
haustion. "3. To obviate unnecessary roughness by
making the ball dead as soon as any part
of the body of the player carrying It
touches the ground.
"4. To penalize the said player If he at
tempts to advance the ball from its posi
tion and to deal severely with any one who
falls maliciously upon the player.
"6. To introduce, the fair catch In the
forward pass, as In the punt, allowing any
one to Interfere with the progress ofthe
ball, provided the player Is not directly In
terfered with.
' This last suggestion," says Dr. Fauver,
"would remove the danger which has
arisen, from being pushed from under the
pass, but would not reduce the amount of
skill required to execute the play. This
might produce larger scores, but would not
detract from the interest In the game.
FOOD FOR THE REAL LIVE FANS
Pa Itairke I.Ikes the Idea of Taking
St. Joseph Into League.
Jach Holland Is at work recruiting a
strong team to represent St. Joseph In the
yestern league this year. He has a great
reputation for gathering youngsters and
making real ball players of them.
"Holland will put a good team Into St.
Joe this spring," said Pa Rourke at the
Smoke house last evening, in chatting with
the usual bunch of fans. "St. Joe Is ready
for good ball and the fans demand It. That 1 .
town gave good support to Its team in
1900-01-02, when McKlbben was at the helm,
but It has been without a team for six
years and is ripe for base ball. Holland Is
a better manager than McKlbben and a
better baso ball man and should be able to
give St. Joeseph a better team and thus get,
better support."
Frank Sparks of the Phillies and for
merly of the Giants contemplates retiring
from the game. He is now in the real
estate buHliicHs in Philadelphia and Is mak
ing money. Sparks was troubled last year
with rheumatism and has been under the
care of a specialist this winter with the
hope of restoring his arm to its former ef
fectiveness, but so far the ailment has not
been conquerer. He has been pitching In
the big leagues for ten years.
Matty Mclntyre, the Tiger outfielder, is
spending these winter mornings sitting, on
a rail at the Tampa race course, hearing
the hoofbeats of his own thoroughbred and
nervously working a stop watch, for Matty
.Is now a real owner. During the fall meet
ing at Windsor the hero of Staten island
purchased a thoroughbred King's Guinea
by r.ame. . When the thoroughbfeds moved
south for tho winter, racing Matty's nag
was among those taking the rail for Dixie.
It isn't a slow one, this King's Guinea.
Cy Young, veteran of all veteran twlrlers.
Intends to go to California to visit a brother
Uvirg on the coast for several weeks.
Young plans to arrange his trip so that he
will arrive at Hot Springs, Ark., about the
third week in February. Cy has been go
lr.g to the springs 'every spring of late
years, and the baths have done him a
world of good. He hopes to pitch In at
least thirty-games next season and' ex
pects to win twenty, of them. Cy will prob
ably be Joined at Hot Springs by a couple
of other Cleveland veterans, Bradley and
Joss. '
There Is some agitation among base ball
men favoring an increase of batting. Ned
Hanlon, a veteran base ball rule maker,
says the pitcher Bhould be put back a foot
and a half and advocates the abolition of
the Infield sacrifice hit. Fred Lake, man
ager of the Boston Nationals, favors the
reduction of the number of called balls
from four, to' three, which, in his opinion,
would make the pitcher put the sphere over
the pluto practically all the time. A ma
jority of base ball men, however. Insist
that the rules need no amending.
"Jlggs" Donahue, former first baseman
of the While Sox. who was with the Wash
ington Senators a part of last season and
was sold to the Minneapolis team of the
American association, is , attempting to
purchase the South Side ball park at Chi
cago owned by Captain Adrian C. Anson.
He would establish a semi-pro team there.
Tho deal will probably hinge upon whether
Donahue can get away from the Minneap
oils team without incurring the wrath of
the powers In organized base ball. It Is
said that Harry McCormlck, who played
left field for the New York Giants last
year, will be a member of Callahan's
Logan Square team this year. McCormlck
formerly played with Callahan and at the
end of last season announced that he Is
through with base ball as a regular busi
ness for all time. He has a position in
Chicago. I .
Same Crane, the old ball player of late
years known as a base ball writer for New
York papers, who has been in Tucson,
Ariz., for his health fd"f several months, la
so far Improved that he will Join the Giants
at their training camp at Marlln, Tex.,
next month and travel home with them
early in April.
Says the Sporting News, In discussing the
St. Louis Browns for 1910:
: "The classy boy for speed seems to be
Fisher,' the Omaha outfielder, who piled up
127 runs and stole eighty-eight ases, draw
ing down an average with the . willow of
.288. -He does not seem to be a particularly
brilliant .fielder,, either. Newman, a first
baseman from Houston, Is next best In the
matter of sio'n bases, with sixty-two in
133 games. IV, run-getting proclivities
don't appear to L so many, but such things
depend to a'larg extent on what sort of
batters he has behind him. Corridon, with
forty-nine steals and sixty runs, and King,
with forty-two and 107, respectively, make
a good showing In bjth departments, as
wen. as at tne pat."
Bert Keeley, who pitched for Omaha last
year. Is said to have signed with Jimmy
Callahan's Logan Square semi-pros In Chi
cago. Pa. Rourke Is still expecting him
back.

MAJOR LEAGUE MANAGERS
Seven Clubi Will Have New Ones
This Year.
LEADERS OF THE BIG BALL TEAMS
Dahlen Brooklyn, Lake Boston, Dooln
Philadelphia, Honors n Hed Sox,
Unity While Dos, McAIeer Sen
ators, O'Connor Ilrovrna.
Seven of the sixfen major league
ball teams that will soon go south for
spring training will have new managers.
It as difficult a matter to secure an expert
team handler, but the National .and
American league club owners believe
they have cornered the best In the pro
fession. Some of these managers have
already established themselves In the
favor of the fans and are confident of re
maining at the helm for many years to
come. But there are others who will find
that the coming season will be a cruolal
test and that unless they produce better
results than a year ago there may be suc
cessful applicants for their berths.
Three In Old Lpsiae.
There are three changes In the man
agerial ranks of the National league the
engagement of Bad Bill Dahlen by the
Brooklyn club, the appointment of Fred
Lake by the Boston club and, the promo
tion of Charles Dooln by the Philadelphia
club. Dahlen has never handled a ball
team, big or little, before, but has had
a world of experience on the field and is
beleved to be an excellent Judge of play
ing talent. Dahlen has played under sev
eral great generals. He broke Into fast
company as a member of the Chicago
Colts under Cuptaln Adrian C. Anson and
became a star shortstop and batsman.
After much experience In this role he
Joined the Brooklyns under Ned Hanlon
and helped that team to win two pennants.
Then he went over to the Giants, with
John McGraw at the helm, and played such
brilliant1 ball that his work enabled the
New Yorks to win two championships and
world's series. Dahlen was finally
traded to the Boston Nationals, with whom
he continued to do good work until lost
season, when he became dissatisfied and
was released at. the fag end of the season.
President Ebbets of the Rrooklyn club
tried to secure Dahlen to manage the
team a year ago, but the Boston club
wanted big money for his release, so there
was no deal. But the moment Dahlen
secured his walking papers Ebbets Wel
comed him with open arms and has firmly
announced since than that Bad Bill will
have absolute, control of the players.
Dahlen certainly - knows what "inBlde
ball" means. He Is conversant with the
methods employed by Anson, Hanlon and
McGraw, and is a fighter for his rights.
He is not a taskmaster and Is popular
with all players, but he will probably
Insist upon hard work and will develop
team play from the moment the Brooklyns
report to him at Hot Springs. Dahlen
will not play much ball himself, but he
will wear a uniform and will direct matters
from ths coaching lines. -.
Dooln pr John Kilns;. .
The promotion of Catcher Dooln to the
management of the Philadelphia Nationals
may be permanent, but there are some
persons who believe that before the Qua
kers begin the pennant race John Kling
will have the reins. But if Dooln keeps the
Job he will be an experiment pure and sim
ple. ' He is a star ball . player 'and well
liked, but he is hot headed and inclined
to .look for trouble with' the umpires, a
weakness In these days of discipline on the
diamond. Dooln succeeds William J. Mur
ray, a capable manager, who has been de
posed for personal reasons, so that he will
have his hands full to land the Quakers In
a higher position In the race.
John McGraw, of course, will manage
the. Giants again. His task will not be
an easy one. The Glans failed to come
up to the requirements last season and
when the pennant race ended the fans
were grumbling. McGraw so far has not
made any deals for new stars, for the
excellent reason that rival managers are
not willing to let go of competent men.
But the New York Nationals' plucky man
ager has more than forty ball players
under his wing and says that when the
deadwood has been eliminated he may
have a pretty fair team after all. He
can rely on Mathewson, Wlltse, Ames,
Schlet, Devlin, Brldwell, Doyle, Seymour
and. Murray as the framework, and with
several young pitchers and the possible
return to form of Fred Tenney he may
provide better base ball - at the Polo
grounds this year than the pessimists ex
pect.
Clarke In Old Groove.
Fred Clark will manage the Pittsburg
world's champions as usual, which means
that it isn't necessary to say much more,
He has a wonderful base ball machine and
probably will perfect it here and there
with new men.- Frank Chance will be In
charge of the Chicago Cubs, but he prob
ably win find It a difficult matter to
recover his lost laurels. Some of the Cubs
are believed to be on the down grade and
Chance is keeping an eye peeled for re
crults.
Fred Lake has a problem to solve in
Boston. Ho made a name for himself
last season as manager .of 'the Boston
Americans, but because, of a difference
over salary he was released outright by
President John I. Taylor,' vho declared
that Lake was not the one who deserved
credit for the excellent showing of the
Red Sox. Lake, in accepting the man
agement of the Hub Nationals, saw a
chance to redeem himself, but he will
begin with a tall end team and will have
to build it up gradually. As first-class
ball players are not to be had for the
asking, Lake will have to be satisfied
with his present layout, which means thut
Boston fans do not expect him to ac
complish wonders in a Blngle seosgn. .
Roger Bresnahan will again pilot the
St. Louis Cardinals and he has hopes.
He brought out some clever young players
last season and for a time the Cardinals
cut an Important figure, but stamlQa was
lacking, and when . the campaign ended
St. Louis fans did not handle Roger with
kid gloves. Clark Griffith, the Old Fox,
expects to have a very fast team in Cin
cinnati. He laid the foundation last year
and finished so well up in the race that
the fans of Redland are looking for
greater achievements. -
In the American.
Four of the American league teams
Boston, St. Louis, Washington and Chi
cago will havs new team handlers. Put
Donovan, who was released by Brooklyn
after the seasonof 108, will have charge
of the Red Sox Instead of Fred Lake.
Donovan was the team's scout last year
and picked up some speedy youngsters.
Ha has a rich club behind him this time,
wklch means a lot. and as he has had
plenty of experience Pr-wident Taylor
Itnlnks he will make good. Donovan has
jSwn In major league ball for more than
! twenty years. In which lime he has man
ned the St. Louis. Pittsburg and Wash-
jlngton teams, in addition to the Brook
lyns. He is a man or exemplary naous
and knows base ball from Alpha to
Orrega. '
That Hugh Duffy will 'make a splendid
J manager of the Chicago White Sox Is the
couseusua among waaing uaae iu ."
iMiffy and Owner Comlskey are old friends.
They Were players In rival teams back In
the old brotherhood days. As center floldor
of the Chicago more than twenty years
ago, Duffy was a star, and also led the
National league In batting one year. Later
he became a member of the champion Hus
tons, under the late Frank . Selee, and
played some great ball. When he took hold
of the management of the Philadelphia Na
tionals for Reach and Rogers, Duffy had
a hard road to travel, and soon quit in
disgust. In more recent years he has been
part owner and manager of the Providence
club. Last summer he sold Shortstop
Blackburn to Comlskey for $6,000, and at
the same time accepted the Old Roman's
offer to manage the White Sox.
Head of the Browns.
Jack O'Connor, the old catcher of the
Cleveland)!, i'lttsburgs and St. Louis
Urowns, will manage the last named team
this year. O'Connor was a star backstop
under Pat Tebeau and helped to make the
veteran pitcher Cy Young famous. In the
old days he made the lives of umpires
miserable, but he has seen the error of his
ways and now believes In accepting the
rulings as they are laid down. O'Connor
stopped active ball playing several years
ago, but he continued to act as scout for
the Browns until last year, when he became
the, manager of a minor league team in
the west. He Is popular with ball players
and enjoys the confidence of his new em
ployer, R. L. Hedges.
O'Connor takes the place of his old side
partner, James McAIeer. They played on
the Cleveland team for many years and
were fast friends. McAIeer had a crack
team in St. Louis In 1308. but last year a
hoodoo was busy and all kinds of accidents
kept the Browns out of the running. The
St, Louis critics made It decidedly unpleas
ant for McAIeer as a result, so he quit cold
when his contract was up and signed with
the Washington club for A salary of J10.000
year. McAIeer la a first-class manager,
in fact, the best that Washington has hod
fur many years. He has some fair material
to work with, and if he lands the Senators
In the first division he will be doing
wonders.
George Stalllngs will remain In charge
of the Highlanders, and he Is cbnfldent
the team will show a vast improvement.
He began last year with practically noth
ing and on the whole did extremely well.
He has gotten rid of Elberfeld, a disturb
ing element, and has secured a star catcher
in Lou Criger, who, if fit, will be a tower
of strength. Stalllngs has good pitchers,
several first-class1 fielders In Chose, Clard-
fier, Kngle, Austin and others, and some
very promising youngsters.
Connie Mack will manage the Philadel
phia Athletics as usual and Hughey Jen
nings will again handle the Detroits. These
team leaders are at the top notch and need
no words of. praise here. James McGuIre,
the veteran catcher, succeeded Napoleon
Lajole as manager of the Clevelands last
fall. He handled the Boston Americans for
a while In 1906, but was released. He will
practically begin all over again in Cleve
land, and he baa some excellent material.
PA E0 DUKE NOW
UETTIM READY
(Continued from Page One,
During this time the main strength of
the Omaha team has been In its pitchers
and Gondlng Is the lad who has brought
these to the ore.
A gflance at -the list of twlrlers who have
gone up from Omaha to the big leagues
and .made good will show the: result of
Gondlng' s work. Many of these came to
Omaha as green farm hands and others as
being too wild to be handled, but Gondlng
has steadied i them down and , made top
notchers of .them. Jack Pfelstsr was con
sidered too wild by Pittsburg to be any
earthly account on a team, but under the
steadying Influence of Gondlng he ' Is
counted by Chicago fans as one of the
best. Miner Brown went up from Onurtia
and some look on him as the best of ail.
Frank Owen became . a White Sox star.
Pat Ragun, who won the pennant for
Rochester in the Eastern league, Is an
Omaha product. Prairie City Brown started
Jn Omaha.
Cadman broke his foot early in the fray
last spring, but soon rounded to and dur
ing the latter part of the season caught
half the games. A new recruit Is Sam Ag
new from Lyons.
Eight Nctr Pitchers.
Pa has eight new pitchers on his list
and has the promise of others from big
league magnates. In addition to Sanders
and Hollenbeck of the last year's team, he
has bought Blaine Durbln (Danny Dreamer)
from Pittsburg. Durbln was with the Chi
cago Cubs for a couple of years and
pitched good ball when given an oppor
tunity, which was not often. He was
traded to Pittsburg and Rourke has bought
hUn outright for a good sum of real .money.
H. C. Patton was picked up in Kansas
during the latter part of last season and
won nearly all his games, making a most
favorable impression. E. Hanson Is a local
amateur of real merit who was tried laBt
year and then farmed out.- He made good
and wHl try for the team again this season.
The pride of the ttam is L. G. Slndelar, a
giant, 6 feet 4 inches tall, picked up at
Stanton last fall by Gondlng on, a barn
storming trip. The Omaha team lost the
game to him and on return Gondlng as
serted that a foul tip by Welch was the
only hit the Omaha leaguers made off
his delivery. J. E. Finch "Of St. Joseph
has been signed, but little is known of
his work. Other new pitchers are Walter
Thomas of Sawnee, O., who comes well
recommended; Roy Bovee of Lyons and
Guy Ferry, from the western part of, the
state.
Bert Keeley will also be with the Rourkes
this year. Keeley made a most favorable
Impression when he first arrived from
Washington with Schlpke, for he won six
straight games, but toward the tail end
of tne season he seemed to let up a little.
Potts will play short, the position he
held down during the last half of the
season, and Slugger Bill Schlpke will again
be found at third.. The Skipper Is winter
ing In the south and writes that his knee
has come around all right and that he is
anxious for the start of the season.
Pendry still belongs to the Omaha team.
Pa Rourke is looking for an lnfielder, an
outfielder and a pitcher from "the big
leagues.
Base ball will be seen at the old stand
at Vinton park this summer. Pa Rourke
had laid plans for securing a new site, upon
which he proposed to erect a new model
relnfbrced concrete plant. He secured op
tions on several locations, but has allowed
these to lapse, as he has renewed his
lease upon the present grounds.
The news of 'the loss of an eye by James
Kane was a severe blow to the Rourkes, as
they were counting upon him to cover first.
They await with Interest the outcome of
the operation upon his eyet
Pa Rourke is in touch with several of
the big league managers and has the
promise of some good players as soon as
they start the weeding out process. The
new rule, limiting the players which each
big league team may carry, will have the
effect of putting some splendid players
back in the minor leagues and Pa expects
to get his share.
