BASEBALL Expert Naughton Suggests That Set of Boxing Rules Be Framed By W. W. Naughton. S AX FRANCISCO, Sept. 16.—1 t would prove difficult, no doubt, to frame a set of box tng rules that would cover every point that was likely to crop up. but it certainly looks as though the time is ripe for making the at tempt. The initiative in a movement of that kind should be taken by some official body that is far removed from the petty jealousies of the game pugilistic and it appears to the writer that the New York box ing commission just about fills the hill. It would be the easiest matter possible for the commission to des ignate a few Eastern experts and entrust to them the task of devising a manual that would be a guide to ringmen and referee and would win the appreciation of the public. Some years ago Jack O’Brien and Bob Fitzsimmons boxed in San Francisco and Fitz collapsed in his corner during the resting spell w htch followed the thirteenth round. As it was evident the Cornish man was past continuing the ref eree declared in favor of O'Brien, and then confusions arose. Some one wanted to know if O’Brien had won In thirteen rounds and Fitz's hacker* answered "decidedly not." Fitzsimmons did not come up for the fourteenth round,” argued the O’Brien crowd. "But Fitzsimmons went to his corner an undefeated man at the end of the thirteenth round," re torted the Fitzsimmons followers. The question was never settled satisfactorily and even now the record books credit O’Brien with a victory in thirteen rounds without carrying any foot note to explain that Fitzsimmons really went to pieces while his seconds were grooming him for the fourteenth round. Mix-Up in Recent Fight. There was a similar occurrence in the Charley Miller-Jim Flynn bout. Both men were in fighting attitude when the gong signalled the end of the fifteenth round. On hearing the bell they dropped their For Home Decoration -•’U> x J : ••S3O-J| Iff. r jbo HI wmMlB B These Beautiful Pictures jgj v r m* / w^W? : a * - •* •’4w' ■ !_•*" *_ At Less Than Half Their Value Choice of fom - subjects, attractively framed, in two sizes : 16x24 75c and 2 coupons. 20x28 89c and 2 coupons.

Miller then complained of a broken rib and a few seconds later Referee “Spider" Kelly went over to Flynn’s corner and hoisted Flynn's sweat sodden gloves aloft, the orthodox manner of denoting the winner. There was heavy betting that Miller would “stay" fifteen rounds and the fellows who wagered that way clamored for their money. The sporting authorities here were almost a unit in declaring that Miller had lasted the full fif teen rounds, but there were other angles to the betting. Pool Sellers Refunded Coin. Ihe poo! sellers wriggled out of a tight corner by refunding all the fifteen-round money to the original placers -and the Miller-Flynn fif teen-round incident may be con sidered closed. But when the New York boxing commission, or whoever it may be, appoints al committee to frame up to-date boxing rules it seems to me that the following should be in serted somewhere: RULE—When from any cause it shall be made to appear between rounds that a boxer is unable to continue the referee shall await the signal for starting the following round. Then if either boxer fails to toe the scratch he shall be ad judged loser. It may be worded more grace fully and with more regard to euphony and construction, but the idea is there. The thing is to do away with a boxer winning or los ing "between rounds.” HIGH-CLASS BOUTS FOR GAY GOTHAM THIS WEEK NEW YORK.

DAMON RUNYON, CHARLES DRYDEN ’ WHO WILL BE A SAM WHITE HERO THIS FALL? By Philip Bruce. YXtHO Will be the Sam White yy of the 1912 football season? Sanford B. White won the football championship for Prince ton last year, and for himself he gained recognition as the most brilliant athlete in the annals of American collegiate sport. His in dividual work won both the Yale and Harvard football games of 1911. Many experts say that this year’s new rules w ill obliviate this individual starring, that the team whose players are of the greatest average strength will do the win ning. Now, it is only the truth that these experts know very little about what football is going to be like this year. Under the new’ rules ways may be discovered to revolu tionize the gridiron game. These experts no doubt reason thought fully in doping out the end of in dividual prominence, but still it is the writer's humble opinion that more than one of the important games of 1912 will be one-man vic tories. and that next Thanksgiving will see a new collegian crowned the hero of footballdom. it was Sam White last year and Ted Coy the year before, and it will- be some one else this year. There's a new’ one every year. Even when the hero of one season has another year in the game, he doesn’t repeat. The most important change that will be brought about by the new’ rules is the allowance of four downs instead of three in which to advance the ball ten yards. This, it is widely claimed, puts a pre mium on the old-time game—the kill-the-tackle mass plays—giving a decided advantage to the heavy teams that are best at straight football. This argues that the 1912 star will be another catapulting line plunger of the Ted Coy type. Sprinter Has Best Chance. A little thought, however, will make it clear to the student of the game that the husky full back is not the logical candidate. A com paratively light man is more likely to be the owner of the face favored for display on the November sport pages. He will probably be a lithe, Shifty sprinter, with great ability in dodging and shaking off tacklers, and a particular knack of catching the forward pass and getting away with It fast. The reason for this lies in the fact that the forward pass will reach its greatest development this THE BASEBALL CARD. SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Standing of the Clubs. W. 1,. PC I W L. PC.

SMITH . * * • year. This is the play that is going to make the high scores, and that is going to win games. And it is the star performer in this play who will be the star of the 1911 season. The four-down rule, coupled with the new rule which allows the at tacking side to make forward passes of unlimited length, even across the goal line, opens up unlimited pos sibilities for the forward pass. As the rule protecting the receiver of the forward pass is still in force, the offense is given vast liberty in the use of this play. « The right of the offense to make ' forward passes over the goal line w’ill make it necessary for the de fense to keep its second line back, instead of massing Its whole strength on the line in the manner that caused so many failures to score last year after the offense had carried the ball down to the ten-yard line. Princeton Has Had Great Men. Princeton won’t have Sam White this year, but she may have, his suc cessor. Walter Gamp once said, "For brilliancy of achievement, no teams have produced so many stars as those of Princeton.” Princeton has had men like Mc- Mann, McNair, Moffat, Lamar, Ames, King and DeWitt, who alone have won a great game, and it has had a Poe. who alone defeated Yale two years in succession, but never before White's time has Princeton or any other college had a man who by individual achievement won two baseball games from Yale and a football game from both Yale and Harvard. White's fame has not been for gotten with his graduation. His achievements seem all the more marvelous in retrospect. In 1911 he won Princeton’s third and deciding baseball game with Yale. With the score a blank. White reached sec ond base. Sterrett, who is now with the New York Yankees, drove a short hit into right field, which Corey gathered up on the run and swiftly whipped to Merritt, at third, to catch White. White, according to rule, should have slid to the base. Instead, he kept his feet and, taking a daring chance, rounded the bag and leaped for the plate The ball seemed to strike Merritt's glove simultaneously with White’s foot on the bag Something, per haps White's audacity, caused Mer ritt momentarily to juggle the ball, and in that moment White slid across the plate with the winning run Last autumn, in the Princeton- CARE OF THE TEETH IMPORTANT TO HEALTH Without perfect teeth one can not enjoy perfect health.

Dunlap, Princeton's left end, knocked the ball from the hands of Hollister, of Harvard, w ho was about to try a drop-kick. Al most before the ball touched the ground, the ever alert White had seized It and was off for the goal, 100 yards away, in a race in w’hich he distanced his pursuers and secret} a touchdow n. Scarcely had the second half opened when Gard ner. of Harvard, rashly decided to scoop up a bounding ball on his one-yard line, instead of falling on It. and instantly he was swept over the goal line in the strong arms of White for as afety and the deciding score of the game. Two weeks later Yale, in the first ten minutes of play, was driving Princeton to the goal line with a bewildering shift play. Suddenly, on a pass from center, the ball struck the ground at the side of Dunn, full back for Yale. Sam White, dashing in from end, picked up the hall from the ground as lie would a baseball, instantly he was in full stride for Yale’s goal. RO yards away, which he crossed, car rying with him Arthur Howe, the Yale captain, who had tackled him on the five-yard line. And thus came a football championship to Princeton. Last June, at Princeton, Yale led the Tigers by one run on the dia mond. Princeton was at bat, with one man out and the bases full, it was Sam White who came to the plate In the crisis. Coolly he let three balls go by. one of them a strike, and then met the fourth squarely with his bat and drove it • far over the left flelder’s head, scoring three men and winning the game. A Good Scholar, Too. But the reliability of this man Is not confined to sports. At Princeton last autumn Professoi J. Duncan Spaeth, of the English department, the day before the football game with Yale, assigned to his senior class in English a theme which each man was to write and present the following Tuesday morning. The next day Princeton defeated Yale, through the efficient playing of Sam White. Sunday intervened, and Monday was devoted to a holi day celebrating the victory. When the senior class in English assem bled on Tuesday morning, man aft er man arose and asked to be ex cused from handing In his essay, on the ground of the previous day's distractions, One man alone did not flunk. Quietly he handed in his essay, and it was a good one. That man was Sam White. CURE FOR WEAK KIDNEYS FREE Relieves Urinary and Kidney Troubles, Backache, Strain ing, Swelling, Etc.

They didn’t startle any body at the start of the race. They didn't pile up garfle after game and astound by their brilliancy in the middle of the race. They are not traveling such a swift pace at this stage of the game. Neither did they play had base ball at the start of the fight. Nor did they fall into a slump during the middle distance. There are no indications that they are going to play bad baseball at the finish. I hat’s the reason they are going to win that pennant.
