15 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.

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.” J. Johnson a Fairy-Tale Hero STANDING OF CLUBS. 50UTHERN LEAGUE. Games Thursday.

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. CAPITAL CITY CLUB COURSE IN FINE SHAPE S COTTY McKENZIE. profession al for the Capital City Club, has been working with Gaelic fervor for three weeks, getting the greens and turf of the Brookhaven course in fln e condition for the first tournament, which is to be for the president’s cup.
