EW YORK July 31.—College
football this fall will conform
'a oractically every respect
to tile code of rules which gov-
ed the sport last year. What few
pr&tions the football rules com-
ittee made were of technical nature
for the most part served only to
the wording of ambiguity.
[One somewhat important change,
wever, will permit the kicker to
*ici at any distance from the line of
Ifnmage when booting the ball in-
d of at least 5 yards back as
tofore. It is expected that this
put a premium on quick kicking
i directly behind the forwards and
a new feature of always welcome
irtainty.

fourth period of the game. The

[ Concerning Forward Pass.

players after a forward pass or

actually made.

rule relating to a forward pass
i kick made from behind the goal
f together with the rule relating to
pping back linemen, has also been
dered clearer by changes in the

lie.

Richards-Shields Team Winner
.
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 Liockner 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 barred by the rules.
The finish was listed in this or-
iei:
Richards and Shields, first: Luther
and Lewis, second; Graves and Mc-
Niel, third; and Glenn and Renel,
fourth.
Lewis rode one of the best race©
of his career, and his thirteen min
utes o'n the tracK practically settled
lus combination in a liign place at
the finish.
The next meet is scheduled for
Friday night, and the card is under
preparation today, to be announced
later.

showed class last night ;ti winning
a two-mile match race from Luther
In 1:28 2-5, and later, riding Graves’
Excelsior, tried for the track record of
:38 4-5. He missed it by three sec
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.
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 in
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 town at day
light shows how he feels about tak
ing another chance against mp.
“He can’t get away, though. Jpnes
and I will go north to-night and grab
Ritchie when he arrives in San Fran
cisco.”

FULTZ PANS COMMISSION
FOR STAND IN COBB CASE
NEW YORK, July 31.—The unsuc
cessful attempt of Ty Cobb to have a
spectator removed from the stands at
Philadelphia on Tuesday during the De
troit-Athletic game is to be made the
subject of an investigation by the Bas-
ball Players’ Fraternity.
According to Cobb, the spectator ad
dressed objectionable language to him.
Mindful of the trouble he caused in this
city a year ago when he attempted to
rebuke physically a like offender. Cobb
called upon the umpire to eject the ob
jectionable person. FiAts to-day said:
"According to reports from Philadel
phia, Cobb, attempting to follow out the
plan laid down by the National Com
mission, appealed to the umpire to eject
a spectator who had insulted him, and
was Jeered out of the game by the
crowd.
“The fact that the spectator was al
lowed to remain in the stand proves that
the method adopted by organized ball
for handling this evil is grossly inade
quate.
"A player should not be made to stul
tify himself in this maner. The mag
nates should make a sincere effort to
put an end to this long standing evil.
"The Players’ Fraternity has repeat
edly made suggestions which, if adopted,
would prove of much benefit, but the
National Commission has so far disre
garded them.”

From Waterloo to Grand Opera
By W. W. Naughton.
I T can hardly be that all the st&j;ies
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 th&t 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 ”aP
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.
• • •
T HAT a “fight” with Jack Johnson
as one of the principals will be
announced very soon is quite on the
cards. It is 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 sav that John
son will box either Sam Langford or
Sam McVey. Well, McVey Is still In
Australia, where he has gone on the
vaudeville stage and is being billed
as "the 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. has been the
most persistent ©ballenger 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 case of first come, first
served
It behooves Langford to watch out.
CAPITAL CIU

S COTTY McKENZIE, profession
al for the Capital City Club,

Mr. Slade, the new proprietor of
