FIELD GOAL THREE POINTS. Chaj by Football Committee—Posi tion of Ends on Forward Pass. An important chl-l” in the football rules was made by the intercollegiata football rules committee, which com- pleted its session at the Murray Hill hotel at New York, Baturday, in the reduction of points for & iram the field from four to three. this change, it was said, was to pre- vent two goals from the flald nw.umn( mora than & hard wen toucdeiwn and goal. Commenting en this change, members of the ocemmittee sald it would reduce the importanse on teams of star fleld-goal kickers, and make it harder for a mediocre team with a 800d_kicker to beat out a better all- round team without a star kicker. A chango was made in the ruleg re- lating to a touchback so as to relleve some of the hardships of the team down under the g ly when 1t has been forced there otherwise than by rushing. The new rules gives the team making the touchback twe rushes before the kick, while the old rule only provided the option of kicking out or keeping the ball for a scrimmage on the lipe. A rule was adopted provid ing tHat when a center feits or makes a fake attempt to pass the ball his team shall ba ized five Another change relating to the .en- Yorcement of penalties makes the rules provide tat no penalty can be impesed to carry the ball over the line either 774 |for a touchdown or a safety. It was so provided that hereafter play must immediately stop when blows his whistle for a foul. No change of moment in the rules relating to the forward pass was made, ‘but the rule zl clarified In one feat- ure, so that provide that the ends who are more than one foot behind the scrimmage line shall be out of play and cannot handle the ball. Heretofore the rule confused the referee in providing that the ends had to more than a foot but less than a yard beind the line, and the rule now makes the dead ‘wone more defintte. BURKE IN SHAPE. Star Nutmeg League Batter WIIl Boost Holyoke Aleng. Outfielder Frank Burke wrote to Owner Fred Winkler of Holyoke that he is in fine shape and feels sure that he will hit at a heavier clip than he did last year. *Burke's left arm was hurt last scason and this is considered the chlet reason why he didn’t do so well with the bat. However, the arm has been repaired, and Burke repo; that it will stand lots of wear an tear. He will leave his Pennsylvania home Monday for Holyoke. Burke, with Dolan and McCabe, look likely for the outfleld. The latter two are former pitchers and will not be asked to return to pitching. - Holyoke will play its first exhibition a week from Saturday with the Brook- Iyn Royal Giants, who think they are the Jack Johusons of the ‘Daseball wol referee hour’s ’réom ln& a liber- ot towels brought .

The American career of Joey Bow- ker was not a. very long or successful one. Hearing about the large sums Driseoll, -“Welsh, Moran and Robson ts | wade in this country, it didn't take much coaxing te bring Joey over. Bil- ly Plerce, the matchmaker of the Ar- mory club, sent for him and he hopped on & boat in a hurry. Pierce nut him on for twelve rounds with Al Delmont, and the latter won decisively. Then he took Bowker over to Philadelphia. and Tommy O"Toole put him away in & couple of rounds. Passing through New York atter the_bout, en route from Philadelphia to Boston, Plerce sald: “Bowker isn't fighting as well as he did three years ago, w he was besting Pinky Evans, Frankle Nell, Owen Moran, Splke Robson and Pedlar Palmer. Either the climate affected him or eise the parade has passed him. He's a nice, quiet, little chap and I would have liked to see him do well over , but he won't do in his present form net the fast American boys. 1 had mastched with Attell. but when he was defeated by Deimont and O'Toole, 1 called the bout off.

Manager Connery will have his base- ball candidates for the Hartford team report next Tuesday and from then on there will be semething doing for the Senators. Connery will have for catchers the veteran O'Leary. Wadleigh who was farmed by Hartford in Portsmouth, Va., last year, and Abrogast, Who comes from the west. For pitchers, Hartford will have such experts as Ev- ane, Schumann, Fischer. Swanson and Leverne, who did fine work for Wor- cester last year. These fellows are all good. Rogers from Missourl and a lad whose name is withheld will also be tried in the box. Connery will play first base and Jus- tice wil] be at shortstop again. For second and third bases, Frank Lobert, brother of Hans Lobert, the Cincinnati inflelder,_ George Metzger from Winni- peg with a_reputation, C. C. Warner from the Western association and Schulz from a Canadian fgam will try. Cobb is the only veteran Jutfielder left. James from Sloux City and How. ard Derringer of the Three-Eye league will also be_candidates for the out- field. Brannon from Hoboken, McKen- na from Pittsburg and McCusker from Philacdelphia are” more candidates for the outfleld. Motoroyzie Speeds 76 Miles Per Hour. The motorcycle race track which the veteran blcycle rider and race pro- moter, .fi Prince. has just campletad at Lox Adgeles is developing a speed in the little two-wheeled motor vehi- cles whic few peopie ever anticipated. On the opening day world’s records were broken in every event dut one, and all times from one to five miles were reduced to a remarkable extent. Jake De Rosier, the professional, rode a mile exhibition against time at the phenomeaal speed of 76 miles an hour: and in a five mile race he maintained an average speed over 72 miles an hour. Considering the size of the re- spective machines, this performance by a seven horse power motorcycle shows an efficiency never yet attained in_an automobile. This track jis three and one-third laps to the mile, which would meke it considerably slower than the great Brooklands track in Emngland, which has a cireuit of two and a half miles, scientifically banked for a speed of over a hundred miles an hour. To Jack Johnson, the heavyweight champlon, as great a fighter as Petef Jackson was in his palmiest days, was the question recently asked James J. Corbett in Denver and answered by him as follows: Owner Fred Winkler feels that he hag some good material on his list and is confident that it will show to ad- vantage-with Mike McCormick direct- ing the play It ig felt that the pitchers will be I have always thought Peter Jack- strong set, With some of last year's son was one of the world's a pugilist from footwork to of distance and a punch in either hand. He contrasted with Johnson in the point of cleverness. Petsr Jackson as a machine in the ring in man- re- #peots. Such cannot be said of John- son. The latter, however, possesses & way of handling himself that is almost as e ive a8 extreme cleverness. He is very awkward in many of his move- ments, but it is his awkwardness that fools his opponent. Jackson had a much better left hand than Johnson and he used it to great advantage. I'll never forget how hard I found it to stay away from him. He played for my jaw continually. but never landed hard enough to ioit me. But he ]anded more often in the sixty. one rounds that I fought him than any two other fighters I ever met.

In' the judgment of distance Jackson 31% wag also’ the superior of Johnsom, but in blocking Johnson probably equals Jackson. No better fight could be wished for than a battle between two men of the caliber of Jackson and Johnson. The former would probably have & big margin to the good at the finish, bm there would be some pyro- technics displayed before the count was give. Jackson would have been the win: HOT FIGHT FOR SHORTSTOP. Monnie Mack Has Bunch of Likely c-»d-d-tu—hrry Seems the Choice.
