It was sald that Charles Weeghman, backer of the Chicago Federals, would buy the St. Paul Association Club if its franchise could be transferred to Chicago. T&hese reports persisted in spite of denials by both Weeghman and James A. Glimore, President of the Federals, Ban Johnson ts aaid to be in favor of bringing the St. Pauls here, while Murphy is agatnat it, it is said. Ac- cording to the reporte Johnson also wanta to move the Toledo Association Club to a city where it will be in competition’ with a Federal club. While Gilmore insisted there was no question of Toronto remaining in the Federal League, other Federal League officials here for the mee! to-day persisted in favoring the drop- ping of the Canadian city, ——— "ITORONTO TO REMAIN CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 7.—Har- ‘yard won the first game of its annual series with Yale last night by the score bse, & the snainn eye) hein mate three tutes of @ ten-minute os dropped had been ON CIRCUIT OF FEDS.

It is believed that this order will affect Harvard the most. It has long been ach Percy Haughton's custom to parade the side lines in the course of a game | Di and signal orders to the Crimson team by means of a cane. Now the Harvard coach must remain on the bench with the substitutes and allow bis captain to run the team. To guard against freak kicks the committee decided that all free kicks hitting the goal posts and bouncing out In the field of play must be put in scrimmage on the twenty-yard line and not run back by a picyer. TO PREVENT TRICK OF GROUND. ING FORWARD PA Other new rules formulated by the committee: Intentional grounding of forward passes. A team purposely grounding the ball when forced back in the act of making a forward pass is to be penalized ten yards from the point where the ball was put in ball. Spectators at the Army-Navy ‘game may recall how Quarterback Pritch- ard would often fling the ball to the ground to prevent loss of ground when forced back by the Middies when at- tempting a forward pass. The new ulti {s intended to prevent that tric! er qut of bounds—To be pen- alized five yards on the first offense. Formerly @ runner was not penalised Champion’s Earning Capacity With the Cue Amounts to £25,000 Annually. Many folks wonder how much Willie Hoppe, the billiard champton, g*ts out of @ victory, such as he won from George Sutton at the Hotel Astor the other evening. In this match the ballroom on the main floor was jammed, some 14,800 being taken in at the box office. Not only did the/| $5,000. men play for the championship em- blem but also for a side bet of $500. It ts one of the championship rulos that any challenger bas to make a bet of, $500 in order to be entitled to a match with the title holder.

C. last night McMahon went against Levineky in the main bout and Levinsky not only outpointed him decisively but he also handed him a nifty lacing. For three rounds McMahon held Levinsky even, but after that Dan Morgan's protege just waded into the Smoky scrapper with hard, straight left jabs to the face and heavy rights to the stomach. MecMahon at times waa very wild in delivering his blows, and while he managed to land wild swings to Le- | vinsky’s stomach or head, the latter *| would counter beautifully with stiff wallops on the nose or under the In the last four rounds Le- vinsky landed so frequently in Mc- Mahon's face that he bied freely from the nose. McMahon had an advantage of eight and one-half pounds on Le- ‘|vinsky, he weighing 1791-2 pounds, while Levinsky tipped the scales at 171, pounds. 6 ‘The ten-round go between Johnny .|Lore and Johnny Dundee, who can make the featherweight limit if he is unfortunate for for, besides being out- Dundee, he lost an addi- for being two pounds overweight.
