BASEBALL Committee Figures on 154 and 168 Games—New Rule Rescinded—Jimmy Clabby to Box 10 Rounds— Bouts | Regulations to Go Into Effect Thi Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 25.—Two sched- ules, one for a 154 and another for a 168 game playing season, will be sub- mitted to the National baseball league in New York next month. This was settled by the schedule committee to- night, although its labors have not yet been concluded. Another session Will be held tomorrow. Hard Work Making Two Schedules. The baseball folk, all but the mem- bers of the schedule committee of the two major leagues, left for their homes tonight. The protracted sessions of the schedule committee is caused by the arduous work of dovetailing the 168 with the American league’s 154 game schedule so as to avoid conflicting dates. Then, too, another arrange- ment of dates on the basis of a 164 game schedule for both is being pre- pared, so that whichever is adopted can be put into immediate effect. The decision to_present the two schedules to the National league was reached on a business basis, arguments for each side being recognized on their merits. The shorter schedule was pre- sented somewhat @s @ minority report to the league, while the longer sched- ule was drawn by Chairman Ebbets as he was instructed by the club man- agers of the league. Rescind Wild Pitch—Passed Ball Rule. Official scorers entered strong pro- fests against the wild pitch and passed ball ruling under the revised rules and the committee met today and rescind- ed it. It was pointed out that the bat- terymen handled the ball many times more than other players on the team without getting any credit for perfect work, and that it would be unjust to charge them with fielding errors for occasional slips. Utica Boxing Bouts. Utica, N. Y., Jan. 25—Billy Ryan of Syracuse won from Bobby, Critcher of Montreal in a three round bout before the American’ Athletic dlub here to- night. Jack Lamon of Watertown knocked out Jack Conley of Spring- field, Mass., in the second round of a preliminary bout. Collins Will Back Wilkerson. Bill Collins, who is at preseut on a trip_in Rhode Island, has written the sporting editor of The Bulletin to say that he is willing to.accept any propo- sition that is put up for a wrestling match between Kid Wilkerson and Young Wiibur for a little side bet on any night the Wilbur camp wants it. He will fix up matters as soon as he B9ts back from Providence. MATTY BALDWIN WINS. Roughed It With Owen Moran—English Fighter Clever and Clean Hitter. Boston, Jan. 25.—Matty Baldwin of Charlestown won the decision over Owen Moran of England at the end of twelve rounds of a close fight at the Armory Athletic association tonight. Baldwin roughed it through the early part of the bout and did some heavy hitting, while Moran .proved the clev- erer in blocking and clean hitting. The fight was even to the eleventh round, Baldwin showing a shade the better in the last two rounds. Knockouts at Pittsburg. Pittsbure, Jan. 25—Two knockouts in the preliminaries and a draw in a Six Tound fight between Thunderbolt Ed" Smith of Columbus, O. and Frank Moran of. this city were the features of a mill here tonight. Smith and Mo- ran, heavyweights, were on for_ the main bout. Buck Crouse of Pittsburg knocked out Frank Wettangal in the second round, and Battling Conners of Pittsburg knocked out Kid Stephoe of Columbus in the third round. Lavin Better in Ten Rounds. Buffalo, N. Y, Jan, 25.—Paddy Lavin of Buftalo and Fighting Dick Nelson New York boxed ten rounds here to- night. There was no decision. Lavin, in the opinion of the spectafors, had the better of the bout. Clabby and Mike Twin to Box. Milwaukee, Wis.

New York, Jan. 25.—The drastic Jiquidation which was renewed in the stock market today forced prices to the lowest level since the crest of the speculative wave was touched in Au- gust of last year, and, consequently, since early in the year 1908 in)the course of ihe rise which began at that period.

Bath Streat Instances were found in the Hill Pa- cifics and in the eastern trunk lines, in which stocks had been persistently marketed in the period preceding the present season of urgent pressure. The speculative character of the holdings which were being forced on the mar- ket was indicated by the distinction between those mentioned and the ex— ceedingly active speculative stocks which wers most severely handled in the day’s market. The case was ag- gravated where there had been any previous evidence of manipulation or of active operations by market pools. The burden of discussion in stock mar- ket quarters was all of the danger frotn threatened collision of corporations with the law and with the activities of the government authorities of Wash- ington. The attention paid to the sub- ject in the morning’s despatches from Washington aggravated the apprehen- sion which began to grow acute yes- terday. It was not until the statement on the subject made by President Taft was published in Wall street that the pangs of the market were at all as- suaged. It is true that by that time the purging process had proceeded to an extent that entitled the market to Wome relief from e normal reaction. There was much confusion of cause and effect in the hurly-burly of the market. There was evidence, for in- stance, that the banks were engaged in ciganing up their credit accounts end Were discriminating with severity againgt such stocks as justified sus- picion$ of pool manipulation. Critic- isms directed againsts the banks for thetr part in countenancing such mar— ket practices as have come under reprobation by advancing funds for such purposes have had their effect. The present growing abundance of loansble funds did not prevent the banks from proceeding with the with- drawal of tredits today where such considerations ruled. Hocking Coal is not the only stock that has been the subject of manipulation. Instances occurred today where attempts to mar- ket small accounts of such stocks, in compliance with the demands of money lenders, failed to discover a singie bid within ‘many points of the nominal quotation which has been maintained for the stock. The overhauling of loan accounts by the banks had its incen- tive, in part, from the apprehensions aroused by the treatment of corpora- tions by the law, as well as by the criticisms of the purely speculative position in the market. President Taft's expostulation with the presump. tlons indulged in by stock market in- terests of the purpose of the adminis- tration helped to cure some of the fears caused by the assertions of the past few days of new and aggressive departures in contemplation but did not restore earlier hopes of a compla- cent mood towards the transgressions of corporations under the anti-trust law.

Foul strikes are designated “illegally batted balls.” A coacher's box extending fifteen feet from the bases is provided. A batter throwing a bat before run- ning so that it hits umpire or catcher will be fined §5 for the first offense. Throwing a mask or glove at a bat- ted ball by a fielder entitles the batter who becomes a base runner to three bases. For the first time two umpires are offictally recognized in the national game and their duties are defined. The umpire behind the plate is the umpire in chief and the one on bases is desig- nated field umpire. Wild pitches and passed balls will be no longer recognized and these des- ignations disappear from the game. They will be classed as errors. The substitutes may be fined $10 after being warned and further may be sent to the clubhouse, to be called into the game by the captain as he needs them. A ball passing an infielder and hit— ting an umpire on foul ground per- mits a runner all the bases he can get. If an umpire is hit by a ball, no run- ner can score unless forced by base runners. No change can be made in the bat- tery box by a batter after a pitcher is ready to deliver a Ball. The batting order must be delivered to the umpire at the plate just before the game by the two captains. This order must be retained throughqut the game unless a man is taken out. ~ Umpires will make rulings on coach- ing violations or discoloring of the ball in their own judgment, without waiting for captains to notify them. Cut Down Yale’s Rowing. Yale's rowing schedule will be cur- tailed by the faculty this year, along with those of other branches of sports. It is now almost certain that the only race in which the ‘varsity will take part, aside from the Harvard regatta, will 'be_the regatta on the Schyulkill. The Yale navy never had so many challenges for races at the beginning of a season before. Georgetown, An- nagolis, Pennsylvania and Columbia all want races. In case_ Yale does not enter the Schuylkill regatta, a race may be arranged with Columbia on the Hudson, but this is very doubtful. The Yale faculty has strongly opposed the plan to send a. crew to either Annapolls or_to Washington. n reason fof Yale's disincli to go to Ph!fielphi& this sea. son is that the Easfer vacation comes in March, and Yale is finding it prac- tically impossible to get together a crew for such an early date.

The former, by trotting two heats in a contested race in 2.011-4 and 2.01 3-4, so far sur- passed all previous performances of that description as to make it impos- sible to compare them with hers. Nev- er before had a mile been trotted in a race below 2.03 1-4; while the best one ever made against time)“in the open’ was 201 Many horsemen consider the feat of Hamburg Belle the most wonderful In the entire history of trot- ting, and the amazement which it pro- duced Is attested by her sale the same day for $50900, by far the largest price ever pald for a trotting mare. Her subsequent lamentable death has only served to heighten the interest in her and make the year, upon her account, unforgetable. Native~ Belle’s achievment of lower- ing the world’s record for 2 year olds from 2.103-4 to 2.073-4, doing It in the second heat of a race, and thereby eclipsing a mark that stood for 18 years, perhaps means more than Hamburg Belle’s attainment. It is Tecogmized by the most advanced students of trotting evolution that the future of the breed lies with the colt trotters, and their progress will be the most reliable index of the intrinsic improve- ment that is taking place. Upon this account Native Belle'’s name now blazes in the trotting firmament like a beacon light. It is possible that she is as far ahead of her time as her pre- decessor, Arion, was of his event the vear 1909 wadl long mark an epoch because of having produced her. Another great performance tending to prove the rapid advancement of the inherent speed of the breed of trot ters furnished during the year 1909 was that of the yearling filly Miss Stokes, she reducing the world’s rec- ord for her age from 2.23 to 2.19-1-4. sen in connection with the record of Native Belle, her feat has afforded more encouragement to breeders than anything else of the past decade bar. ring, possibly, the 3 year old record Gen. Watts, 2.06 3-4, which that colt made in 1907. Two other trotters stand out above the rest_and help to make the year one of/sensationalism. These are Uh- lan, 2.021-2, and Penisa Maid, 2.04 1-1. The former by forcing Hamburg Belle to her record of 2.011-4 and subse- quently defeating her, has made him- self a candidate for the two minute honors and 1s generally recognized as the one supremely great aged per- fomer now living. Penisa Maid, ris- inz from nowhere to the altitude of the greatest stake winner of the year, at its close holding all the class trot- ters at her mercy, has written her name in luminous letters across the year's chronicles, and she, too, must be reckoned a two minute possibility. The one event of the vear on the pacing side that ranks with the feats of the trotters was that of Minor He: who equalled-the world’s pacing rec- ord of 1.591-4 “in the open” and once again_proved himself a genuine phe- nomenon—but as a whole the season lacked sadly in_ brilliancy from the “side wheel” angle. Values durinz the vear remained remarkably strong, ndg only as evidenced by the sale of Ham- burg Bele for $50,000 and that of 17h- lan for $35,000, but by the unusual success of the great auctions. EVERS MOST VALUABLE. Congress of Ball Players Awards Him the All Around Laurels: One gre}f all around ball player will ke a ball team, as Cobb has Detroit, gner Pittsburg, or Mathewson New but where can you find these v Yor men I heard quite an argument between a lot of crack ball players at McGraw's place meeting about who was the most valu- able baH player in the country to a team, and it finally sifted down to Wagner of Pittsburg, Evers of Chica- £o and Cobb of Detroit, says.Tim Mur- nane. Hugh Jennings figured that Ty Cobb was the most valuable man in the country to a team. ie is a remarkable all round bats- fan who can beat ogt bunts and then clean up the bases With a long drive, and the greatest run getter of the age, | always in condition and a fighter from art to finish,” said Hugh. McGraw thought that Hans Wag- ner was the most valuable all round batsman, a run getter, always in the game, and, placed in the infield, full of_inspiration. Hugh Duffy and Joe Kelley picked Johnny Evers as the most valuable man for a ball team, on the ground that he was a natural leader, as well as a remarkable all round ball player. Evers' great knowledge of inside ball, his quickness in taking advantage of Dhis opponent’s weakness, gave him the edge, is the way Duffy and Kelley fig- ured it out. William Keeler, Captain Anson, Tom MeCarthy, Roger Bresnahan and Jack Dunn took a hand in the fanning bee. and while the general opinion seemed to give Wagner the best of it, the fine line of dope put up by Duffy and Kel- ley forced the gathering to admit that Evers was a candy kid, Evers sat back with a friend and enjoyed the comparisons. Tt was the general impression of this congress of baseball talent that Ever: was about the only prominent mem. ber of the great Chicago Cub team that had not reached-the height of his work on the pall field. All the players of the once invinci- ble team were slowing up, some grow- ing tired and indifferent as a result of remaining too long in one city,where the pbulic has grown careless unless the team is always in the lead. It's the leader this year that counts in baseball, and not the champions of one year ago. The fact is, there is too much expected of the average ball Members New Yori and 28 Shetucket St., Norwich, Conn.
