GRINNELL TO TAKE UP RUGBY lowa College May Substitute English Pastime for American Football— ' Conference Is Sought. The relative merits of the Rugby and American systems of football are up for discussion in the state of Iowa, with a possible change to the Rugby system. Grinnell contends the indorsement of the Rugby game by the Universi- tles of California and Leland Stanford and its practical results show that it 1s highly satisfactory. ‘rhe Grinnell Athletic association is asking for a conference with repre- sentatives from Morningside, Cornell, Coe, Upper Iowa, Simpson, Mount Pleasant, Highland Park, Penn and other colleges of the state, to en- deavor to introduce the new game.

The English- man displayed but scant knowledge of the game, and Gotch, it seemed to spectators, merely played with the Englishman.

FOUND RIGLER’S WEAK POINT Manager McGraw Soon Learned How Proud Umpire Was of His Teutonic Blood—Was Soon Chased. Umpire Rigler is proud of his Teu- tonic blood. He is one of the best um- pires in the business, and had much to do with dispelling the belief that it was necessary to be Irish to be a suc- cessful arbitrator, No one learned sooner than Man- ager MeGraw how proud Rigler was of his extractlon, and no ome was quick- er to try him out when he joined the National league staff.

Hjertberg, the trainer, who is in his native country shaping up the Swedish talent for the fifth Olympiad, which is to Dbe held fn Stockholm from June 29 to July 22, writes to a New York friend that he has strong hopes of his pupils winning the laurels. 5 Hjertberg was successful as trainer for the I. A. C., the N. Y. A. C. and Columbia university. When he had charge of the college boys they won pretty much everything. The Swede was selected last sum- mer by the committee formed in Swed- en to arrange for the Olympic games of 1912, and it was a proud day for Hjertberg when he went home to un- dertake his patriotic task. It was like coming into his own, a consummation that he had not foreseen when he came to America, because there was here a better fleld for his athletic instruction than in Scandinavia. The trainer writes as follows: “I actually think that the Swedes are go- ing to win the majority of the events. I never saw any men come up so fast, and, the pride and patriotism they show in their work, the care they take of themselves and their obedience show how much in earnest they are. “The world will be surprised in 1912 P REAL BILL NYE IN BASEBALL Tip O'Nelll, President of Western League, Tells Humorous Story of ~ Player Who Sought Release.

He sald this young Bill Nye appeared be- “fore the board of arbitration 6f minor leagues and aired his grievances as follows: “I played in this league in 1910. At | the close of the season I discovered they owed me for eleven days’ pay. When I went after my back pay they said they would let me know about it the next day. After thinking over it a day they told me they had paid me and they got me to thinking the same. “I played in that league again in 1911, They owed me for nineteen days back pay. When I went to them they sald they weuld think it over. They ‘thought’ over it two days this time and then got me to thinking the sagme thing. Since then, however, the more I have thought it over the more convinced I have become that they not only owed me for eleven days in 1910, but for nineteen days in 1911. “Now, your honors, I don't ask that this back pay be ordered up. All I do ask is that I be declared a free agent .and be released from this ‘hyp- notic league.’ " KILBANE AFTER ABE ATTELL Plans Being Made for Battle for Featherwelght Champlonship at Los Angel Feb. 22.

TO THE WAYS OF THE WILD Timid Doe Finds There Is S8ome Good After All In the White Bipeds of the City. The heart of a deer, a poor, timid, pretty little doe, must have been near to bursting 'with gratitude a few days ago. Somewhere up among the pines in the moonlight she must sure- ly have found a way, dumb -brute though she is, to tell her companions of the'antlered tribe how good after all are the white bipeds of the city when the hunting season is over.

Only the heroic work of Edise saved the children from belng mangled by the savage animal, but he himself was badly bitten. Edise {s a truck driver. He was driving in Hinsdale street when he 8aw a group of children on their way from school at the noon hour, run- ning and screaming. Following them was a great black dog, snapping at the little ones, but fortunately failing to fasten his teeth in any of them. Edise was without a weapon of any kind, but he leaped from his truck, ran at the dog and kicked him. The brute immediately turned its attention to its assailant and leaping at Edise fasténed its teeth In his left arm. Edise succeeded in breaking the hold When the dog agam seized him, this time catching the fingers of his left hand. ‘With his free hand Edise grabbed the dog by the throat and despite its struggles, held on. The choking forced the animal to release its grip on ‘the left hand of Edise, and he threw the beast to the sidewalk, knelt on it to prevent It squirming loose, and while a great crowd gathered and stood helpless he choked the animal to death—New York Globe. WORKING HOURS OF WOMEN Beveral Limiting Them to Sixty Hours or Less a Week. During their last session the legisla- tures of several states passed new laws regulating the number of work- Ing hours for women. South Carolina passed a law limiting them to 60 per week in mercantile houses and the textile mills, of which there are so many in the state. . In Ohlo and Massachusetts a 5i- hour bill has been enacted. The Ohlo bill applies to everything excepting botels and mercantile establishments. Utah and Missouri have also passed nitie-hour laws, says Health Culture. The ten-hour law which the leglela- ture of Illinois enacted in 1909 is en- larged o0 as to include practically every kind of establishment wherd women are employed.” Wisconsin has established a 55- hour week, excepting night work, which is less. Minnesota has strength- ened its ten-hour law by extending the penalty for violation go as to include manufacturing and mechanical estab- lishments. The states of Washington and California have passed eight-hour day laws for women. The law of Washington applies to the usual mer- cantile and mechanical establish- ments, restaurants, hotels and laun- dries, but the California act applies also to telegraph, telephone, express and transportation offices.
