This block of stock was re- ported at the time to amount to 100,- 000 shares and it was inferred, from the price ruling in the market at the time the transaction was accomplish- ed, that the price pald was in the neighborhood of 60. It was the gen- eral belief that the placing of this block by the banking house closest to the United States Steel corporation carried with it implied obligations re- garding future dividend action and also market management and that it was an ‘integral part of the great market 85700 Penneylvania 1000 People’s Gas 14 8900 Pitsburg C.

Unless they furnish a | cheaper rate no attempt will be made to get jnto the Texas league. Christy Mathewson is no wonder when it comes to indoor baseball. The great Matty was one of the players that went to Troy from New York to meet Johnny Evers' indoor nine. The ball proved to be too clumsy for Mathewson to handle and he retired in the sixth inning after he had been touched up for 10 hits and had passed thre to first. Incidentally the invad- :l’sl were beaten by Evers’ ouffit 12 o 1. The Harvard wrestling association bas arranged a three months’ season, beginning Dee. 1, which is especially designed 'for football and crew men. This is also open to all members of the university and includes five lessons a week. The primary object of the as- sociation is to make the sport available to a large number of men. A team will also be maintained, to which un- dergraduates only are eligible. Com- petitive trials will be héld to pick the members of the team from the various classes from bantamweight, 115 pounds, to heavyweight, over 175 pounds. Optside meets, such as the New England amateur champlonships in the latter part of January, are open to any member of the association. The university championships will be held in Wahruaty, = \ exercised not to let the play degenerate into a mere kicking contest. Such would be the result of making the required dis- tance for the first down fifteen Instead of ten yards, unless some of the re- strictions imposed at present on the forward pass and the onside kick are removed. “Shifting the play five yards outside | of center when the ball is bétween the | two 25 yard lines, will mean merely the shifting of the line to meet it. There are many advantages in placing three or lee:en {?‘ur“men rb‘:kl of the line parallel to the line of scrimmage, as was proven by the Princeton fresh- man team this year. It seems a good idea, offering a variety of play at once bewildering and effective. “Penalties for rough play aer severs enough at present if the officlals are only wide awake enough to see what goes on. The difficulty in this case is not with the law, but with its applica- tion. Moreover, 'with an open game there would be less chance for rough play, and more probadility of detec- tion. “Finally, some more effective rule might well be passed to restrict coach- ing from the side lines, either by re- quiring the coaches to stay off the fleld or by imposing a seyere penalty upon the team so alded. ’ FORWARD PASS. Yost Says Cut It Out—Harvard Wants More of It. Fielding H. Yost, coach of the uni- versity of Michigan's football team, expressed his opinion on the guestion of whether interference should be done away with in the game. Coach Yoei's opinion on football is the opinion of the entire athletic body of Michigan university and can be set forth as such. “To abolish interference for the man carrying the ball would sound the death knell of football” says Coach Yost. “What would happen to * man who was imposed with the task of advancing the leather if he wera not afforded some protection? Take a man in the back fleld, for Instance. Give him the ball and let him try to iake it through er around the ememy’s line. ‘What would happen? Opposite to Lim would be 11 men intent on bringing him to earth, and the chances are 10 to 1 that the luckless carrier of the pigskin would be serlously injured cr killed. Accidents are plenty and deaths from injuries often occur, but If in- terference were abolished it wouldn't be safe for anybody to play the game. “If the reformers want to elimmate the dangers from the game, let them abolish the forward phss. There's where most of the danger lies. Do you think anybody would be foolhardy enough to think of allowing flying tackling in basketball? Imagine what a murderous game that would be if those tactics were allowed to prevail. Injuries and deaths have increased to an alarming extent since the forward pass has been in vogue, and if the reformers are sincere in their efforts to modify the game to a safe basis they should eliminate the forward pass and go back to the old style of play. “But to cut out in the interference, never; one might just as well play the "game in a parlor and go through pla; in their mind. Football would not football without the interference.” Urges Forward Pass. The Harvard Dally Crimson, in an editorial strongly advocates a chanage in the present rules of football. It says: “To legislate all danger out of foot- ball without changing it into a parlor game is clearly impossible, but it should be.modified to prevent serlous accidents which occur most frequently in mass plays. The remedy is to in- troduce more open play by removing the restrictions which now make the forward pass such an uncertain and desperate expedient. The Yale game showed how seldoy this play will be used as long as there are limitations which make it a mere last resource. Such change would make a more spec- tacular contest than the present rules encourage.” BASEBALL BRIEFS. Tommy Dowd I still befng talked of as the probable scout for the Red Sox next season.

You will hear them wondering why the club owners do not go and buy pitchers and catchers—just as if you could buy baseball material like so much. wheat. They little know.

I know of a big deal that was offered for a crack left handed pitcher, As matters turned out the pitcher went to the bad and the pitcher offered for him develo; into a crack, and there you are. You never can tell how soon the best pitchers will go to the bad and a rich asset be turned into some- thing entirely valueless.” BASKETBALL CHANGES SLOW UP THE GAME. Comment by Dr. Naismith, Who In- vented the Game. The revision of the basketball rules for the present season will work some important changes in the general style of game and tend to make it slower, according to Dr. James Naismith, the former Springfield Training school man, who invented the game, and who is now in Lawrence, Kan. “What I regard as the most im- portant change is the modification of section 1, rule 8, defining running with the ball,” said Dr. Naismith, recently, after looking over an ad- vance copy of the new rules. “By the change in that rule I think long goal shooting will be practically eliminated, and the short ‘dribble” wHl be em- phasized more than it has ever been before. Another thing that will be impossible is the practice of taking the long-sidestep to avoid the man who is guarding before shooting for a goal” Cut Out the Sidestep. The rule and the explanatory note follow: “Rule 8, section 1—If a play- er shall, while having the ball in his possession, advance in any direction, he shall be considered as running w' the ball” (Constituting a foul, formerly). The note reads: “It is understood that a man may advance one foot in any direction, but the re- maining foot must be kept in position until the ball has left his hands. In throwing for a goal. a man may jump from both feet, but the ball must leave his hands before one or both feet again touch the fioor.” In construing this rule some coach- es have thought that it was the in- tention to prevent aman from leaping into the air after a throw after mov- ing ome foot, as stated in the first part of the note. The effect of this con- struction would be to seriously hinder any goal shooting, but Dr. Naismith, who was a member of the committee, is of the opinion that no such con- struction will be attempted. “The on- ly intention was to prevent man from leaping aside to av his guard and then shooting for the goal after he his feet had touched the floor, said. Refe: Can Watch for Fouls. There are several other rather portant changes, one df them, rule providing that the reféree may call foul on any man on the team inste:l of the man with the ball and his op- ponent as formerly, and makes it iie duty of the referee to watch for fouls on all the men if the umpire se=ms careless or unfair. The umpire may call fouls on all but the man awith the ball and his opponent. Section 1 of rule 9 provides that in_ “dribbling” the dribble is not considered at end so long as the ball is in Under the old rule the “dribk considered at an end when the pls stopped, and it was a very hard mat- ter to determine what shall constitnt: a continuance of motion on the part of the man with the ball Ball Out of Bounds. There are two changes in the riies affecting a ball out of bounds. iy section 9 of rule 16: “If the ball 1e- turns to the court from out of bouads without being touched by a player, it shall be dead.” This prevents “carom- i eliminat, 1- ing” the ball and the element of luck in such a play. Sec- tions 1 and 2 of rule 6 provide that the player or the ball shall be outside if they touch the boundary line in- stead of the floor as formerly. Other less important changes allow the use of plate glass backgrounds for the goals, and allow a variation of three ounces in the weight of the ball in- stead of two as formerly. “Most of the changes were made in the Interests of the officials, and were almed to lighten the work of ths referee, especially,” said Dr. Naismith, “and T believe all the changes are good MEN'S BATH ROBES—in Blanket and Terry Robes, all with silk girdle—a big varlety—price range $2.98 to $12.00.
