THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS.
FOR THIS FALL
N EW YORK. /July 81.—College
football this fall will conform
in practically every respect
the code of rules which gov
erned the sport last year. What few
alterations the 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
heretofore. It is expected that this
vnll put a premium on quick kicking
from directly behind the forwards and
fidd a new feature of always welcome
‘Uncertainty.
Can Replace Men Freely.
••TDther alteration make? possible
-^restricted substitution in the last
or fourth period of the game. The
“Jle relating to substitution was
changed to read:
“Players may be returned once at
top beginning of any period or at any
* time during the fourth or last period.”
* A specific penalty has been placed
< jupon advancing beyond the lines in
’case of a punt out. In this case the
punters’ angle wlil 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 offside the ref
eree must not permit him to kick the
hall 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 ihe hands or of the foot,”
has been shortened 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 bee^i
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 wae
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-
dei:
Richards and Shields, first; Luther
and Lewis, second; Graves and Mc-
Nlel, third; and Glenn and Renel,
fourth.
Lewis rode one of the best races
of his career, and his thirteen min
utes on the tracK practically settled
his combination in a high p’ace at
the finish.
The next meet is scheduled for
Friday night, and the <ard is under
preparation today, to be announced
later. '
Harry Gi-nn. the Atlanta rider,
shelved 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.
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 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 me.
"He can’t get away, though. .Tones
and I will go north to-night and grab
Ritchie when he arrives in San Fran
cisco.”

i 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 tne ob
jectionable person. Fultz 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.
“l’he 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 enc. 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 iar disre
garded them."

From Waterloo to Grand Opera
By W. W. Nanghton.
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 wffl surely return to tho
United States in September to fight
his conviction on the white plavery
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, bdild a sanitarium and
become a patron of grand oper-.
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 «iy that John
son will box either Sam Langford or
Sam McVey. Well, McVey is Btill 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 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 case of first come, first
served.
It behooves Langford to watch out.
