THE OMAH A SUNDAY BEE: FOOT BALL RULES CHANGED| Committée Will Meet in February to Decide on Alterations. CHANGES ARE T0 BE TRIED Teams Will Be Used to Give a Prac- tlenl Test of the Modifica: Which May Be Suggested at Meeting. EW YORK, Jan ~According to fet- | ters and dispatches from the south, it will not be an entirely theoretical set of con- ditions which wiil confront tha foot ball rules committee when {t meets in this city next month. Prof. Dennis of Cornell, | chairman of the committee, recently sent letters to all the members of the commit- tea requesting them to name dates in Fob- | ruary which would be agreeable to them | as conference days. As yet he has not received enough replies to be able to fix on a date which will be convenient to a majority of the fourteen members of the committee. It fs known, however, that the meeting will not be called until about the middle of next month, In the interim the leading members of the committee expect to conduct a serles of experiments which will enable them to grasp In a practicable manner the effect of some of the proposed changes In the foot ball playing code. In past years when the foot ball rules committee has felt called upon to aiter the code many of the changes werc taken at thelr face value or the recommendation of members Wwho had witnessed a crude tryout of the proposed innovation. As a result: it has sometimes happencd that the change did not prove satisfactory as had been hoped for, aad in fact proved of little ad- vantage Unless the plans of the various members of the committee miscarry, this will not be the case at the coming meeting. While the proposed amendments which have been offered as a solution of the conditions which confront the game of football of to- day are radical in the extreme, the com- mittee will not be obliged to discuss its work blindly. In order that something concrete may be known_of the working of the resultant plays under the proposed changes it has been decided to glve the' suggestions practicable tryouts on the foot | ball fleld, with two college elevens as the ‘means of the experiment. Since such & test could not be conducted on northern gridirons at this season of the year, tryouts will be conducted on the foot flelds of the far south,’ where weather conditions somewhat similar to a morthern 1 autumn preyail at the present time. Tests to Be Made. So far two Institutions have volunteered their football teams for these experiments, and if there 1s no hitch in the plans of the members of the committee will have a’mass of first-hand information relative to the worth of the proposed Innovations in the play, which will enable them to weigh the practicable utllity of the same. At the University of Virginia at Charlotte- ville, Dr. W. A, Lambeth, who is a mem- ber of the rules committee, will experi- ment, using the members of the first and second elevens of that institution. Captain Yancey of the varsity team has entered into the spirit of the plan, as well as all the members of the squad, and the players have voluntarily agreed fo resume light training in order that they may be phy- sleally able to give a capable demonstra- tion of the worth of the suggestions. Further south, at the Georgla School of Technology, a similar course of procedure will be in order. Under the guidance of Coach Helsman there will be one or more games played by elevens representing junfor and senior classes of the institute. These games, as in the case in the trials at the University of Virginia, will be conducted under a rough code already drawn up by several of the leading mem- bers of the rules committee. Each move of the players under what may possibly be the foot ball code for 1910 will be care- fully noted. The resultant effects, both from an offensive and a defensive stand- | point, will be carefully noted. Complete reports of the value of suggested changes as shown In® actual competition will be' ready for submission to the committee as a whole at its coming meeting in this city next month. In ad- dition those members of the body who have been able to watch the experiments will explain the workings in detail. As a résult 1t is hoped that when the discus- slon becomes general the rules cpmmittee will have an excellent idea of the way the proposed changes will work out on the college foot ball field if they are enacted into the 1910 rules. Camp Has Sugmestion. It will not be possible to'try out aM. the suggestions for improving the game, since they run into hundreds. There are, how- ever, a number ‘of radical changes which will come In for actual experiment, espe- clally those made by Walter Camp, wherein it has been proposed to limit the width of the forward line to ten yards. Mr. Camp's suggestion was “let no player in the at- tack or the defence line up outside two Unes runiing parrallel to the side lines, ench of these lines being five vards from the ball, thus making the scrimmage line ten yards In width." At first sight this would appear to restrict the activitles of the players and be conductive to a re- turn of the old-style mass play which it is the object of the rules committee to elim- inate, It may be found, however, that by coop- ing up the players In a smaller space new plays will be evolved to make the neces- saty numbers of downs. Mr. Carap has also suggested that the quarterback -be per- mitted to Tun with the ball without the five-yard restriction to right or left which new- prevatls. He further proposes that| any forward pass made over the scrimmage line' be illegal, and that it be necessary to galn, fifteen lines; ten yards between . the the | Humphreys' Seventy-Seven Famous Remedy for Colds & GRIP Don’t wait till your bones begin to nche, take ““Seventy-seven' at once, at will knock out the Grip at the start, Don’t wait till you Legin to Cough apd Sneeze, take “Seventy-seven' at the first feeling of lassitude and weakness, it will break up the Cold at once.

Mr. Fauver's suggestions, which are both unique and radical, are as follows “1. To vemove the rule preventing pass- ing over the line of scrimmage. 2. To shorten the game and to #o de- | erease the number of injuries through ex- haustion “3. To obviate unnecessary roughness by making the ball dead as soon as any part of the body of the player carrying it touches the ground “4.

This might produce larger scores, but would not detract from the interest in the game. FOOD FOR THE REAL LIVE FANS Rourke Likes the Idea of Taking St. Joseph Into Lengue. Jack Holland 1s at work strong team to represent St Western league this year. He has a great feputation for gathering voungsters and making real ball players of them. “Holland will put a good team into St. Joe this spring,” sald Pa Rourke at the Smoke house last evening, in chatting with the usual bunch of fans. “St. Joe is ready recruiting a Joseph In the town gave good support to its team in 1900-01-02, when McKibben was at the helm, but it has been without a team for six years and is ripe for base ball. Holland is A better manager than McKibben and a better baso ball man and should be able to give St. Joeseph a better team and thus get better support.” Frank Sparks of the Phillies and for- merly of the Glants contemplates retiring from the game, He s now In the real estate business in Philadeiphia and is mak- ing money. Sparks was troubled last vear with rheumatism and has been under the care of a specialist this winter with the hope of restoring his arm to its former ef- fectiveness, but so far the allment has not been conquerer. He has been pitching in the big leagues for ten years. Matty Melntyre, the Tiger outfielder, is spending these winter mornings sitting. on | a rail at the Tampa race course, hearing | the hoofbeats of his own thoroughbred and nervously working a stop watch, for Matty 18 now a real owner. During the fall meet- ing at Windsor the hero of Staten island purchased a thoroughbred—King's Guinea by rame. When the thoroughbteds moved south for the winter, racing Matty's nag was among those taking the rall for Dixie. It 1sn't & slow one, this King's Guinea. Cy Young, veteran of all veteran twirlers, intends to go to California to visit a brother iivirg on the coast for several weeks. Young plans to arrange his trip so that he will arrive at Hot Springs, Ark., about the third week in February. Cy has been go- Irg to the springs ‘every spring of late years, and the baths have done him a world of good. He hopes to pitch in at least thirty” games next season and’ ex- pects to win twenty, of them. Cy will prob- ably be joined at Hot Springs by a couple of other Cleveland veterans, Bradley and Toss. P There is some agitation among base ball men favoring an increase of batting. Ned Hanlon, a veteran base ball rule maker, says the pitcher should be put back a foot and a half and advocates the abolition of the infield sacrifice hit. Fred Lake, man- ager of the Boston Natlonals, favors the reduction of the number of called balls from four. to three, which, in his opinion, the plato practically all the time. jority of base ball men, however, that the rules need no amending. A ma- insist “Jiggs” Donahue, former first baseman of the White Sox, who was with the Wash- ington Senators a part of last season and was #0ld to the Minneapolis team of the American association, 18 , attempting to purchase the South Side ball park at Chi- cago owned by Captain Adrian C. Anson. He would establish a semi-pro team there. The deal will probably hinge upon. whether Donahue can get away from the Minneap- olis team without incurring the wrath of the powers in organized base ball. It is said that Harry McCormick, who played left field for the New York Glauts last year, will be a member of Callahan’s Logan Square team this year. McCormick formerly played with Callahan and at the end of last season announced that he Is through with base ball as a regular busi- ness for all time. He has a position in Chicago. Same Crane, the old ball player of late years known as a base ball writep for New York papers, who has been in Tuecson, Ariz, for his health fJr several months, is 50 far improved that he will join the Glants at thelr training camp at Marlin, Tex., next month and travel home with them early in April. Says the Sporting News, in discussing the St. Louls Browns for 1910: The classy boy for speed seems to be Fisher, the Omaha outfielder, who piled up 127 runs and stole elghty-eight ‘ases, draw- ing down an average with the willow of 288 . He does not seem to be a particularly brilliant_fieldér, either.

Corridom; with torty-nine steals and sixty runs, and King, with forty-two 107, respectively, make a good showing In bgth departments, as well, 48 at the bat.” Bert Keeley, who pitched for Omaha last year, is said to have signed with Jimmy Callahan's Logan Square semi-pros in Chi- cago. Pa. Rourke is stlll expecting him back. Grand Cireuit Racing Sqhedule, DETROIT, ‘Mich., Jan. 2-—The Grand Cireult racing schedule has been an- nounced.

That [ After much MAJOR LEAGUE MANAGERS Seven Clubs Will Have New Ones This Year. LEADERS OF THE BIG BALL TEAMS Dahlen Brooklyn, Lake Bos , Dooln Red Sox, ox, MeAleer Sen- Donovan Duffy White ators, 0’Connor Browns. Seven of the sixteen ball teams that will soon go south for spring training will have new managers. It as difficult a matter to secure an expert team hahdler, but the National .and American league club owners belleve they have cornered the best in the pro- fession. Some of these managers have already established themselves In the tavor of the fans and are confident of re- maining at the helm for many years to come. But there are others who will find that the coming season will be a crueial test and that unless they produce better results than a year ago there may be suc- cesstul applicants for their berths. ee in Old League. There are three changes in the man- agerial ranks of the National league—the engagement of Bad Bill Dahlen by the Brooklyn club, the appointment of Fred Lake by the Boston club and the promo- tion of Charles Dooin by the Philadelphia club. Dahlen has never handled a ball team, big or little, before, but has ha a world of experience on the field and is befeved to be an excellent judge of play- ing talent. Dahlen has played under sev- eral great generals. He broke into fast company as a member of the Chicago Colts under Captain Adrian C. Anson and became a star shortstop and batsman, expérience in this role he joined the Brooklyns under and helped that team to win two pennants, Then he went over to the Glants, with John McGraw at the helm, and played such brilllant’ ball that his work enabled the New Yorks to win two champlonships and a world's series. Dahlen was finally traded to the Boston Nationals, with whom he continued to do good work until last season, when he became dissatisfied and was released at the fag end of the season. President Ebbets of the Rrooklyn club tried to secure’ Dahlen to manage the team a year ago, but the Boston club wanted big money for his release, so there was no deal. But the moment Dahlen secured his. walking papers comed him with open arms and has firmly announced sihce than that Bad Bill will have absolute control of the players. Dahlen certainly - knows what ‘“inside ball” means. He is conversant with the methods employed: by Anson, Hanlon and McGraw, and is a fighter for his rights. He Is not a taskmaster and s popular with all players, but he will probably insist upon hard work and will develop team play from the foment the Brooklyns report to him at Hot Springs. Dahlen will not play much ball himself, but he will wear a uniform and will direct matters trom the coaching lines. Dooin or John Kling. The promotion of Catcher Dooin to the management of the Philadelphia Natlonals may be permanent, but there are some persons who belleve that before the Qua- kers begin the pennant race John Kling will have the reins. But if Dooin keeps the Jjob he will bo an experiment pure and sim- ple. He is a star ball player and well liked, but he is hot headed and inclined to look for trouble with' the umpires, a weakness In these days of discipline on the diamond. Dooin succeeds William J. Mur- ray, a capable manager, who has been de- posed for personal reasons, so that he will have his hands full to land the Quakers in a higher position in the race. John McGraw, of course, will the Giants again. His task will an easy one. The Glans failed up to the requirements when the pennant race ended the fans were grumbling. McGraw so far has not made any deals for new stars, for the excellent reason that rival managers are not willing to let go of competent men, But the New York Nationals' plucky man- ager has more than forty ball players under his wing and says that when the deadwood has been eliminated he may have a pretty fair team after all. He can rely on Mathewson, Wiltse, Ames, Schlel, Devlin, Bridwell, Doyle, Seymour and Murray as the framework, and with several young pitchers and the possible return to form of Fred Tenney he may provide better base ball at the Polo grounds this year than the pessimists ex- pect. major league manage not be to come Clarke in 0ld Groove. Fred Clark will manage the Pittsburg world’s champlons as usual, which means that it isn't necessary to say much more, He has a wonderful base ball machine and probably will with new men;- Frank Chance will be in charge of the Chicago Cubs, but he prob- ably will find it a difficult matter to recover his lost laurels. Some of the Cubs are belleved to be on the down grade and Chance s keeplng an eye peeled for re- crults. / Fred Lake has a problem to solve Boston. He made a name for himself last season as manager uf'the Boston Americans, but because of a difference over salary he was released outright by President John I Taylor, ‘vho declared that Lake was not the one who deserved credit for the excellent showing of the Red Sox. Lake, in accepting the man- agement of the Hub Nationals, saw a chance to redeem himself, but he will begin with a tall end team and will have to bufld it up gradually. As first-class ball players are not to be had for the asking, Lake will have to be satistfed with his present layout, which means that Boston fans do not expect him to ac- complish wonders in a single seasgn. Roger Bresnahan will again pllot the St. Louls Cardinals and he has hopes. He brought out some clever young players last season and for a time the Cardinals cut an important figure, but stamipa was lacking, and when the campaign ended St. Louls fans did not handle Roger with kid gloves. Clark Griffith, the Old Fox, expects to have a very fast team in Cin- cinpati. He laid the foundation last year and finished so well up in the race that the fans of Redland are looking for greater achlevements. In the American. Four of the American league Boston, St. Louls, Washington and Chi- cago—will have new team handlers. Pat Donovan, who was released by Brooklyn after the season of 1908, will have charge of the Red Sox instead of Fred Lake. Donovan was the team's scout last year and picked up some speedy youngsters. He has a rich club behind him this time, Wwhich means a lot, and as he has had slenty of experience Prasident Taylor thinks he will make good. Donovan has been in major league ball for more than enty years, in which (ime he has man- aged the St. Louls, Pittsburg and Wash- ington teams, in addition 10 the Brook- lyns, He is a man of exemplary habits and knows base ball to Orrega.

Ned Hanlon | Ebbets wel- | last season and | perfect it here and there| Duffy and Owner Comiskey are old friends, They were players in rival teams back in the old brotherhood days. As center fielder of the Chicagos than twenty years ago, Duffy was a star, and also led the National league in batting one year. Later he became a member of the cham B tons, under the late Frank G. Selee, and played some great ball. When he took hold of the management of the Philadeiphia Na- tionals for Reach and Rogers, Duffy had a hard rohd to travel, and soon quit in disgust. In more r Nt years he has been part owner and manager of the Providence club. Last summer he sold Shortstop Blackburn to Comiskey the same time accepted the Old Roman's offer to manage the White Sox. Head of the Drowns. Jack 'O'Connor, the old catcher of the Clevelands, Pittsburgs and 8t. Louls Browns, will manage the last named team this year. O'Connor was a star backstop under Pat Tebeau and helped to make the veteran pitcher Cy Young famous. In the old days he made the lives of umpires miserable, but he has seen the error of his ways and now believes In accepting rulings as they are laid down. O'Connor stopped active ball playing several years ago, but he continued to act as scout for the Browns until last year, when he became the manager of a minor league team in the west. He is popular with ball players and enjoys the confidence of his new em- ployer, R. L. Hedges. O'Connor takes the place of his old side partner, James McAleer. They played on the Cleveland team for many years and were fast friends, MeAleer had a crack team In St. Louls in 1905, but last year a hoodoo was busy and all kinds of accidents Kept the Browns out of the running. The St. Louls critics made it decidedly unpleas- ant for McAleer as a result, so he quit cold when his contract was up and signed with the Washington club for A& salary of $10,000 a year. McAleer Is a first-class manager, in fact, the best that Washington has had | for many years. He has some fair material | |to work with, and it he lands the Senators In the first division he will be doing wonders, George Stallings will remain in charge of the Highlanders, and he Is confident the team will show a vast improvement. | He began last year with practically noth- Ing and on the whole did extremely well. He has gotten rid of Hiberfeld, a disturb- ing element, and has secured a star catcher In Lou Criger, who, if fit, will be a tower of strength. Stallings has good pitchers, several first-clasd fielders In Chase, Gard- ger, Engle, Austin and others, and some very promising youngsters, Connle Mack will manage the Philadel- phia Athletics as usual and Hughey Jen- nings will again handle the Detroits. These team leaders are at the top notch and need no words of.praise here. James McGuire, the veteran catcher, succeeded Napoleon Lajole as manager of the Clevelands last fall. He handled the Boston Americans for a while In 198, but was released. He will practically begin all over again in Cleve- land, and he has some excellent material, PA ROURKE NOW GETTING READY (Continued from Page Oneg mo During this time the main strength of the Omaha team has been In its pitchers and Gonding Is the lad who has brought for $6,000, and at| the | to to 1 fe to a these to the fore. A glance at ghe list of twirlers who have gone up from Omaha to the big leagues and goade good will show. the: result of Gonding’s wark. Many of these came to Omaha as green farm hands and others as being too wild to be handled, but Gonding has steadied; them down and made top notchers of them. Jack Pfeister was con- sidered top wild by Pittsburg to be any earthly account on & team, but under the steadying Influence of Gonding he' is counted by Chicago fans as one of the | best.

Eight Ne#v Pitchers. Pa has elght new pitchers on his lst and has the promise of others from big league magnates. In addition to Sanders and Hollenbeck of the last year's team, he has bought Blaine Durbin (Danny Dreamer) from Pittsburg. Durbin was with the Chi- cago Cubs for a couple of years and pitched good ball when given an oppor- tunity, which was not often. He was traded to Pittsburg and Rourke has bought him outright for a good sum of real money. H. C. Patton was picked up In Kansas during the latter part of last season and won nearly all his games, making a most | favorable impression. E.

Other new pitchers are Walter Thomas of Sawnee, O., who comes well | recommended; Roy Bovee of Lyons and Guy Ferry, from the western part of, the | state.

Keeley made a most favorable impression when he first arrived from Washington with Schipke, for he won six straight games, but toward the tall end | of tHe season he seemed to let up a little, Potts will play short, the position he held down during the last half of the season, and Slugger Bill Schipke will again be found at third.
