~_NORWICH | fimfin‘ Change in the National in the Glens Falls Insurance Co. J. L LATHROP & SONS. B8 Shetucket Street, Norwich, Conn. - e e Pittsburg, Jan. 24.—The National playing season will be based on a schedule of 168 games, and upon that basis the joint schedule committee of the American and National leagues is working, although its labors here were not completed tonight. Another ses- sion will be held tomorrow and in the ‘meantime no information will be given out by any of the members. Chairman C. H. Ebetts of Brooklyn, chairman of the National league committee, said tonight that the work of the joint com- mittee was the rearranging of conflict- ing dates, and it was impossible to finish it tonight. As to the length of the schedule, he said that as chairman of the schedule committee he had been instructed by the six club presidents to arrange for 168 games. They had the determining power in voting it next month, and Mr. Dreyfuss and he had no vote by reason of being members of the committee; therefore the arrange- ments with the American league were being made on that basis. Mr. Eb- betts said further that as he was in- structed it would be a breach of trust to present any other than the 168 game schedule. ‘The committee on rules of the Na- tional league, which is also meeting here, was in session from 11 o'clock by morming until aimost midnight, pting . for a short time tonigh when the members attended a compli- mentary dinner given by Barney Drey fuss, president of the Pittsburg club. At this dinner President Ban Johnson of the American league and President Thomas J. Lynch of the National league exchanged expressions of har- mony and fraternity between the two leagues. The rules committee, like the joint schedule committee, would not make week. Waterbury, but get-"em curve.

The £ources and the motives of the Hquida- tion since the first of the present year, and which was manifestly renewed to- day, has not become clear vet. The persistence with which stocks wers sold today had the effect of clearly convincing opinion that undue import- tance had been given to adventitious causes for last week's break in prices, such as the Hocking Coal episode. Deeper causes are again sought for the efforts to convert stock holdings into cash and to.lighten holdings of securi- ties. The doubtful relation of corporations to the low was generally accepted as the principal underlying cause of the present weakness of stocks, according to the consensus of opinion today in stock market and financial circles The doubt centers at present on th outcome of the American Tobacco and the Standard Oil cases pending before the supreme court at Washington. As the time ripens when the handing down of a decision becomes possible, anxiety over the cutcome becomes more acute. The fear has grown up that a decision | in terms which would uphold substan- ‘tially the conclusions of the lower courts on these cases would present embarrassments in _carrying on the business of the great combinations of capital in the principal corporations or in a readjustment to the new condi- tions to be presented that might seri- ously dislocate financial and business arrangements.

Mr. Camp comments on Fish, cap- tain of last year's Harvard eleven, and choice for tackle on his all-American team, as follows: . “Fish of Harvard has made a name for himself at tackle both as a praduct of the plays that were effective before the introduction of the new game and as a man who took to the forward pass and on-side kick more naturally than any other tackle. In addition to this, he was a leader of men, and much of the attack and defense of his team was built about him.

Harvard sentiment the matter of football rule revision is succinetly set forth in the latest issue of the Harvard Bulletin. There can be no doubt about what the Crimson wants to have done. Suggestions are offered to the rule makers—suggestions that come pretty close to actual demands. Here, in full, is the last word of the Cambridge institution to the gentle- men of the committee: “The rules committee will soon have its first meeting for considering changes in_the rules of the game of footbail. Some of the members and many of the advisers of that commit- tee, earn their living by teaching un- dergraduates how to play the game and the natural inclination of such men will be to have the changes as few and as trivial as possible. A somewhat similar condition would arise if Mr. Courtney, the coach of the Cyrnell crew; Mr. Kennedy, th coach of the Yale crew, and Mr. Wray, coach of the Harvard crew. were io try, in response to a great popular de- mand, to bring about substantial changes in that form of sport. Radi- cal reforms are usually forced from the outside. “If we gauge correctly the senti- ment of the public and that of the teachers in the schools and colleges, no perfunctory or insincere revision of the football rules will be satisfac- tory. The game must be changed, so that it will be more attractive and less dangerous, Those who have seen the development of football say almost unanimously that the —ame has grown more and more uninter- esting and that the crowds of specta- tors at the important contests would be small if it were not for the college or_school spirit that is aroused. “But the important thing is fo re- move as far as possible the element of danger—danger of serious tem- porary or permanent injury, and cven of loss of life. Every red-blooded man is willing that there should be a rea- sonable amount of risk, as there is in Dbaseball, rowing, riding and _ other kinds of athletics. but most fathers do not want to see their sons run the chance of breaking their necks or fracturing their skulls for the enter- tainment of 40,000 people, more or Ies: “There are one or two things that b i ~ | chance of.qualifying for the mile.

These suggestions are called to the attention of the rules committee.” HANS IS A LEADER. Wagner is the Only National League Shortstop Who Topped the Batters.
