1® o '7' Fott.ball In the w*t will be h'es brutal hereafter, if the rules just revised are adopted. The committee which was empowered by the seven big Western colleges to change the rules has been at work since December IS, and has completed its labors. The old time “tackles back” play will be a thing of the past, there will be no more piling on after a player has been downed, and It will be decidedly unpro s fitable to “slug" or hold in the line. Hereafter a touch-down and a goal will ■ count five Instead of Six; a goal from field ■ kick, four; a goal from place kick, three; ■ touch-down, failing goal, four, and a " aafety, two. Another change for the better is In the time allowed for delay in case of accident. This has been a disagreeable feature of the game heretofore. Tom Sharkey Is after Peter Maher for another fight. Not long ago Maher's managers wrote a letter to the effect that Sharkey was afraid of Peter, and would not make another match. The ex-sailor, however, came to time promptly with a communication, In which he stated that after his coming fight with Jeffrie® he would fight .Maher in six weeks, to a ( finish, for the largest purse obtainable and as big a side purse as Peter's backers ; cared to name. Sharkey alro declared that he would i agree to fight Maher in ’Frlaoo, New Or leans. Carson City or Greater New York, and would cover any deposit that Maher's backers cared to make. All the terms are agreeable to Maher, end a match seems probable. Sharkey’s fight, with Maher in New York last winter caused so much talK that the mention of another contest sets the sports on edge again. When Sharkey sent Maher sprawling to the ropes with a rap on the jaw. the sailor gained a host of friends, who still believe he can beat his rival, but Peters friends became so confident when he quickly knocked Sharkey down, and they have ttaid ever since that IT the battle had gone another round it would have been nil over, but the shouting. The regular weekly meeting of the St. Louis Association Football League was held Tuesday evening. A rule was made > that will prohibit the Cycling Club from I resigning Ashton. The rule is; "When a flayer is once signed by a club and after wards released he cannot become a mem ber of the same (dub again, without the consent of all the other clubs in the league.’’ The Shamrocks released Wild and Nag fl an d signed McLaughlin, Jack Lally and , Josh Lewis. The Carpels signed Sheldon i and Shaughnessy. The assigning of the | Cappels of Shaughinessy and McLaughlin Io the Shamrocks was a trade agreed upon between the two elevens. The protested game between the t’yellsts and Sham rocks did not come up. Friends of George D. Gideon believe that when the time conics he will agree to be come a candidate for president of the L. A. W. This time may not be until the national assembly in St. Ixniis next month. Sterling Elliott, who is Gideon's manager, Is willing to bet SIOO that the Philadilphl man will be elected. Manager Frank Selee will be with Boston again next year. Hi has just informed President Ben Johnson, of the Western League. that he could not secure his re lease. and declared off all negotiations for a the eighth Western League franchise. Se " lee had been figuring for some time on se curing the franchise for Omaha, but Presi dent Soden refused to b t him go. \ telegram from Rock Ledge. Fla., says: M F. Dwyer has received a dispatch from .lames R. Keene, of New York, accepting Ben Brush at $25,000. Koene undoubtedly intends to ship the horse to England to race there. The special bulletin of the Western League averages shows Mcßride, of St. Paul, who will be with Cincinnati next year, to have been the leading batsman. His percentage was .357.

Louis Bierbauer. the second baseman who was sold by Pittsburg to St. Louis, and who d< sorted the B~owns. has de cided to play ball again next season. but refuses to say where. He is getting in i shape by punching the bag and running, i and says he is in better condition and ' lighter than he has been in may’ nears. i Texas will be a'prcty lively baseball I • -enter this ytar.

He is eligible in I all the Derbies in- the West, and it is ex- I ,acted he will be campaigned there. he Ryes of the Southwest League were home to the Homes Tuesday evening ■won four out of five games. The Acmes 1 won four out of five from the Imperials. I The Crescents were at home to the Nia garas .and won all of the five games. Jake Schaefer and his former partner met m the handicap billiard tournament at Chicago Tuesday evening, and the lat ter won by a score of 26'1 to 139. Schaefer ! was to have played 400 to his opponent's 260, but he could not get out of his own I way. F Bob Douglass will be tried hard when he meets Tommy Tracey at the Oriental theatre in an eight-round bout on Feb ruary 3. Douglass has beaten all the sec- I ond-raters arou-nd St. Louis and Chicago, , and has been after Tracey for some time. AS FANS LIKE IT. ■Captain Anscn and Jimmy Barry are to play handball together in Chicago. Jack Glasscock has given up all idea of becoming a Wheeling magnate, and has ■ signed with St. Paul. Harvey Watkins has again deserted the white tents and red lemonade and will | again be the financial manager of the New ; York club. Manager Ewing, who still has a few stamps of denial In stock, has pasted one of the latest revival of that ancient Millcr ] Ritchey for Hill yarn. Elwood, Munice, Alexandria, Anderson, I Marlon and Dunkirk are to organize the Indiana Gas-Belt Lfague. Organization will take place at Elwood. Dick Hanley, who lives in Quakerdom, will join the college coachers. He has been engaged to train the Villa Nova can didates, and starts in February Ist. “Kid” Gleason is like Bug Holliday.

ESSENCE OF JABOLOGY. “Doc” Payne was knocked out by "Kid" McCoy in their exhibition at Louisville. Jim Johnson is still fishing for fistic fame. He has challenged C. C. Smith, the Black Thunderbolt. Jack Hanley will spar three friendly rounds with "Kid” Lavigne at the Foun tain Square Theatre on Friday night. Joe Wolcott has assumed a contract to build a Mansard roof on Jim Janney, the Black Demon of the Potomac, in Baltimore on the 17th. The People’s Athletic Club has been re fused a permit, and the proposed mill be tween Charley Burns and Gus Fredericks next Monday night has been declared oft’. These variegated Griffos are becoming too numerous. Billy Teller was entitled the Black Griffo. and after a smoking up somebody in Cincinnati has discovered “Yellow Griffo.” M. Wellington Leonard is not taking much time to breathe between scraps. He goes to Toronto to meet Martin Judge, of Philadelphia, before the Crescent Ath letic Club next Saturday night. Peter Maher, who has been quietly rest ing in Quakerdom, where he wedded his better half, has broken the silence to re- ■ mark: “Corbett is a bloody big stiff, and i he won't fight anybody. He ran away from | me, and would never have fought Fitz- ; simmons if the public had not driven him I into it. Corbett will never fight again if he can help it.” What beautiful language these fighting Gentlemen use! A Clever Trick. It certainly looks like it, but there is really no trick about it. Anybody can try it who has lame back and weak kidneys, malaria or nervous troubles. We mean he can cure himself right away by taking Electric Bitters. This medicine tones up the whole system, acts as a stimulant to the liver and kidneys, is a blood purifier and nerve tonic. It cures constipation, headache, fainting spells, sleeplessness and melancholy. It is purely vegetable, a mild laxative, and restores the system to its natural vigor. Try Electric Bitters and be convinced that they are a miracle worker. Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50c. a bottle at H. J. Lamar & Sons’ drug store. Edward Everett Hale. Dr. Hale served the ministry in Wash ington for a year or two and from 184(5 to 1850 in Worcester, where he is affectionate ly remembered in many ways and partic ularly as founder of its public library, and he was commissioned pastor of Ino South Congregation church 41 years ago, where he is n r.-rying and baptizing the children and grandchildren of his early parishion ers. But he does not belong to the South Congregational church. He has always maintained that to give, oneself fully to any particular work, and especially to that of the ministry, to make the gift real ly great, one must enlarge oneself by the widest service which intensifies the man ■ and makes him able to offer a worthy : offering. So he has bad a planetary inllu ; Slice through his institution of “Ten | Times One Is Ten” and “Lend a Hand,’’ of Wadsworth clubs and Lend a Hand | clubs all over the world, in every sort of j philanthropic work, economic, social and j industrial. His progress through the west a year or two ago was a kind of peaceful triumph. No name is more familiar on the lips of good men everywhere. His literary work has been stupendous, reaching to 50 vol umes and tenfold 50 volumes in uncollect ed articles, studies and sermons. He has caught the popular fancy as few purely ■ literary men have ever done with “My Double and How He Undid Me ’and “The ! Man Without a Country.” But these are j only unconsidered trifles in the bibliog raphy of the prolific author who is now delighting everybody with the reminis cences of his rich acquaintance with men and things, the expression of a ripe mind, full without prolixity, liberal without garrulity and instructive without pedan try.—Time and the Hour. Emergency Doctors In Faris. In Paris a list of doctors ready to attend fn ease of emergencies occurring in the ! night is published for the convenience of the public. Originally, we learn, a fee of 10 francs was the standard payment, but more recently a pool has been instituted ' and the result divided quarterly among I the doctors. This system has alienated the better class practitioner, and now the em ployment of the whole class has become endangered by the death of a patient treat ed by one of the members who lives on £ls per annum, with a stock of instru ments as scanty as his income.—London Hospital.
