FOB IS FILL
N EW YORK. July 31.—College
football this fall will conform
In practically every respect
with the code of rules which gov
erned the sport laet year. What few
alterations th© football rules com
mittee made were of technical nature
and for the most part served only to
clarify the wording of ambiguity.
One somewhat important change,
however, will permit the kicker to
stand at any distance from the line of
scrimmage when booting the ball in
stead of at least 5 yards back as
«i? to * ore * ,s expected that this
will put a premium on quick kicking
from directly behind the forwards and
add a new feature of always welcome
uncertainty.
Can Replace Men Freely.
Another alteration makes* possible
unrestricted substitution in the last
or fourth period of the game. The
rule relating to substitution was
changed to read:
“Players may be returned once at
the beginning of any period or at any
time during the fourth or last period.”
A specific penalty has been placed
upon advancing beyond the lines in
case of a punt out. In this case the
punters' angle will be moved 5 yards
away from the nearest goal post along
the goal line. If the punter out makes
a deliberate attempt by a feint to
draw the opponents off side the ref
eree must not permit him to kick the
ball until the opponents have had time
to return behind their restraining line.
Concerning Forward Pass.
In the rules regarding the conduct
of players after a forward pass or
after a kick insertion of the words
“after the pass has been made" now
makes it clear that players may in
terfere with one another until the pass
is actually made.
A relic of the time when the ball
was not always snapped back with
the hands has been eliminated. The
rule, which read:
“By one continuous motion of the
hands or of the foot” has been short
ened by cutting out the words “of the
foot.”
The rule relating to a forward pass
or a kick made from behind the goal
line, together with the rule relating to
dropping back linemen, has also been
rendered clearer by changes in the
wording.

Schwartz-Lockner Disqualified
I T is certainly tough luck for a
plucky pair of motorcycle racers
to be disqualified for a technical
breach of the rules, after finishing
first in a terrific half-hour grind. But
If Schwartz and Lockner suffered that
penalty, they at least earned the
praise of a big crowd at the Drome
last night, and they set a fearful
clip for the long race.
The reason for disqualification was
that both partners were on the track
at the same time to an extent that
was b»rred by the rules.
The finish was listed in this or-
dei •
Richards and Shields, first; Luther
and Lewis, second; Graves and Mc-
Niel, third; and Glenn and Renel,
fourth.
Lewis rode one of the best races
of his career, and his thirteen min
utes on the track prac'ically settled
his combination in a high p’aee at
the finish.
The next meet is scheduled for
Friday night, and tho card Is under
preparation today, to be announced
later.

onds, but gave a fine exhibition of
riding.
Graves won his heat and the final
in the Motordrome sweepstakes in
a furious drive. The time was 1:22.
BASEBALL SUMMARY
Wolgast Says Ritchie
Is Dodging Match
LOS ANGELES, July 31.—The next
skirmish between the rivals, Ad Wol
gast and Willie Ritchie, will occur
in San Francisco. Ritchie left for
the northern city in his automobile
yesterday morning. Wolgast and
Manager Tom Jones will take the
Lark train to-night for San Fran
cisco, figuring to beat the champion
into the city and be in waiting for
him when Ritchie arrives home.
Wolgast does not mince his words
In charging that the champion ran
out on him.
“We were around town from 9 iA
the morning until midnight on Tues
day, but could not coax Ritchie into
a meeting,” said Ad to-day. "The
fact that he got out of tow r n at day
light shows how he feels about tak
ing another chance against me.
“He can’t get away, though. Jones
and I will go north to-night and grab
Ritchie when he arrives in San Fran
cisco."

From Waterloo to Grand Opera
By W. W. Naughtcm.
I T can hardly be that all the stories
which float across the Atlantic
concerning Jack Johnson are true.
To begin with, one alleged interview
with the big negro has him saying
that he will surely return to the
United States In September to fight
his conviction on the white slavery
charge, while another tells that John
son has decided to build a small villa
In the suburbs of Paris and that he
has become morose over his self-im
posed banishment from the United
States.
This later interview* has Johnson
saying: “My ambition has always
been to live in France, but I am
very melancholy because I shall never
see the land of my birth.”
The reports of Johnson’s pugilistic
intentions are also confused. One
has it that he is looking forward
to a world's championship match with
A1 Palzer In Paris in September, and
another says that he has accepted five
thousand dollars advance n oney from
a Russian promoter who plans to han
dle a Johnson-Langford match in
Moscow this coming fall.
Johnson has been quite loquacious
in respect to the things he Intends
to do apart from fighting. He has
informed his Parisian friends that he
is about to put a brand-new patent
medicine on the market and that he
purposes stocking a library with “all
the books written about Napoleon.”
He Is also going to visit the field
of Waterloo, build a sanitarium and
become a patron of grand opera.
Probably Jack hopes that a diversity
of pursuits will help him forget his
troubles.

as one of the principals will be

CAPITAL CITY GOLFERS
TO CLASH IN TOURNAMENT
The Capital City Club’s first golf
tournament will start Saturday after
noon, when the qualifying round of the
tournament for the president's cup will
be played.
The players will qualify from scratch,
but In the match play the club handi
caps will apply. As many flights as fill
will be played.
The first and second rounds of match
play must be completed by August 6. the
semi-finals by August 7. and the finals
by August 9.
YOUR EYES ARE
cards. It ts practically a certainty
that his first opponent abroad will be
a man of his own color, and It will
be interesting to see on whom the
preference falls.
Reports from Russia pay that John-
son will box either 8am Langford or
Sam McVey. Well, McVey Is still in
Australia, where he has gone on the
vaudeville stage and la being billed
as “tho black Caruso."
Langford is wondering what the fu
ture holds In the way of matches.
He Is ready enough to box Joe Jean
nette. who, by the way, haa been the
most persistent challenger Jack John
son ever had.
As everything is fair In love and
pugilism, it may be that Jeannette
will execute a flank movement on
friend Langford. He may manage to
detain Sam at this end by promising
to come out here and box him and
then depart surreptitiously for Paris,
where, In the present condition of
Jack Johnson’s finances, It will prob
ably be a ease of first come, first
served.
It behooves Langford to watch out.
