The latest revision of the football rules, edited by Walter Camp, the Yale football mentor, has one new the game has developed during the past few seasons. This is the new rule which prohibits an incoming substitute from communicating with his team on the field until after the first play. In mdny of the big grid- { iron games the substitute subterfuge was carried on to unreasonable ex- tremes. It was no uncommon sight 10 see a substitute sent from side lines with information at a criti- cal point of a game, Side-line coaching has been a sub- been grappling for the last few sea-| sons. First, the side lines were] cleared of the many assistant coaches | and scouts, who used to crowd both | sides of the field at the important | games. The freedom of head coach | was also. restricted, and when the! new rules permitted frequent sub-| stitutions, these players were used | as a means of conveying informa-| tion from the coaches to the @ = The newest and best Records are now in stock, COMIC, SENTIMENTAL, SACRED Let us play you over a few Records today.

One of the dahgerous features | of the forward pass has been the lia- bility of the reeeiver of the ball be- ing roughed. A new rule this season provides that when a player inter- feres with a player attempting to catch the forward pass, the penalty will be the loss of the ball to the offénded side, at the spot where the foul was committed. g The place kick has: been more clearly defined in the new code, and the 'play must be made by kicking the ball from its position when rest- ing on the ground. This does away with the use of artifical tees, such as were used in somé of the games last season. In one or two contests place kicks were made by placing a headgear on the ground and kicking the ball while it rested on the head gear, Gradually the rule makers are eliminating the objectionable feat- ures of the gridiron game, In the present edition of the rules the com- mittee points out that the rules as they stand to-day should be allowed to crystallize as nearly as possible in their present form. contest SUGGESTING DATES FOR WORLD'S SERIES Saturday; Oct. 6th at Chicago is What Ban Johnson Proposes.

Seats for the world's series base- ball games this year will not be re. served by mail, but every ticket possible will be placed on public sale at the grounds, the New York National League announced. Num. erous letters asking for reservations have been received by the elub, it was stated. "Absolutely no reservations will be made and nothing will be done in regard to the world's series until the time thas arrived when it will be possible to issue an announce- ment covering all details," the club's, statement said. PRESIDENT J. K. TENER SHOWED BACK-BONE When He Fined Manager Mc- Graw of The New York Giants. In fining John J. McGraw an ad- ditional $1,000 for allowing an at. tack on President John K. Tener to be printed as coming from him, the National League set a precedent here that it will find to be extreme- ly helpful to it in the future. By showing a backbone and a desire to begin quashing all attacks on ad- ministration of the league the dir. ectors will find it much easiet to curb outbursts in the future. Tacked on to the bpttom of the lengthy statement in which the di- rectors answered the request of the New York Chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America was a warning te managers and other employees of the league that future occurrences in which the head of the league or the league is made the victim of an attack suspension for the rest of tHe season will be a minimum punishinent. There is at least one manager in the National League, and several players who never have had any hesitancy in: showing some contempt for the way things have been done in the league, They doubtless will be curbed. It has been customary for base. ball followers in the east to poke some fun at the National League, calling it grandmother and other similar names. They have been ac- castomed to pointing to the Ameri- can League as the virile, Czar-like exponent of capital punishment in the baseball world. 'The staggering! punishment meted out to McGraw, however, is direct proof that the last days of Presiden' Tener in the older circuit are going to he flavor. ed with some distinetly Czar-like ac- tions. : The edict absolved the baseball writers from any blame in connec. tion with the episode that first re- sulted in a meeting of the directors and what amounted to a formal apology from MeGraw. 'He declared he did not make any srah atate- ments as those. attributea io him, and left the writers to hold the sack. lan The incident was reopened at the request of the writers, and, while the last decisiofi admits it was not proven McGraw actually attacked the president with the words attri. buted to him, he was fined and re. primanded for having allowed the interview to be printed when it would haye been . easy for him to ol n - os Afath Swigler, a star pitcher at the University of Pennsylvania last season, and signed by the Giants beter add a couple of more to it and | watching for a chance to "even up' WHY MACK CHASED BUSH. "Bullet Joe" Gives Explanation of | Why He Was Suspended. i Pitcher Joe Bush, who was Yast week suspended for the rest of the season by Manager Mack of the Ath-| Yetics, explaining his tilt with Mack said: i "The trouble started after the! fifth inning Wednesday when I was | bumped for six runs and Cleveland | took the lead. -I went back to the | bench feeling pretty sore, for I want- ed win that game, not so much for myself but for the team. One of the A's stepped up to the plate and slam- med out a pretty hit, * 'Yes, and the other fellows were walloping-them; too," replied Connié| 'if you would keep yourself in eon- | dition.' "'Who said I am tiof,' I asked. 'I'm al right, but my | arm is bad. I had no right to be in| there in the first place.' " 'That will cost you a hundred,' replied Mack. "At that, I lost my head, 'You had | | { | | not in condi-! make it good,' 1 told him. "* "All right," said Connle, 'you are fined $200 and suspended for the | rest of the season. You will leave' the club to-night. Bush also admitted that Mach had called him for remaining out until 1 a.m. one night in Cleveland. "Bullet Joe" explained that he h attended a theatre.
