THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FOB THIS FULL 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 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 6 yards back as heretofore. It Is 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. %r other alteration makes possible l-mrestricted substitution in tl»*. last or fourth period of the game. The r.hle 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. h '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 offside 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 wdth 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 wdth the rule relating to dropping back linemen, has also been rendered clearer by changes in the wording.

J— Richards-Shields Team Winner +•+ +1+ +•+ +•+ •«••+ +•+ 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 barred by the rules. The finish was listed In this or- dei: Richards and Shields, first; Luther and Lewis, second; Graves and Me* Niel, third; knd Glenn and Renel, fourth. Lewis rode one of the best races of his career, and his thirteen min utes on the track prac'lcally settled his combination in a high p’aee at the finish. . The next meet is scheduled for Friday night, and the card is under preparation today, to be announced later. • Harry GSnnn, the Atlanta rider, showed class lust night :u winning a two-ralle 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, bht 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 me. “He can’t get away, though.

FULTZ PANS COMMISSION FOP 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- Atnletlc 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. Fultz to-day said: “According to reports from Philadel phia, Cohb. 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 ieered out of the game by the crowd. “The fact that the spectator was al lowed to remain In the stand proves that the method adop*ed by organized hall for handling this evil is grossly inade quate. “A player should not he 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 provr* of much benefit, but the National Commission has so far disre garded them." +•+ +•+ From Waterloo to Grand Opera By W.

July 31.—Jack Keat ing, the local heavyweight, stopped Frank McQuinness, heavyweight champion of the English navy, In the fourth round of a scheduled ten- round bout at the St. Nicholas A. C. last night. The Englishman quit In the fourth round. In another ten-round clash between heavyweights, A1 Kubiak stopped George Weigner in the first round, after 30 seconds of fighting. The opening bout of ten rounds be tween Porky Flynn, of Boston, and Barney Williams, of Philadelphia, ended in a draw. RITCHIE AND CROSS TO HOOK UP LABOR DAY LOS ANGET.ES, CAL., July 81.— Leach Cross, of New York* practical ly was matched to-day to meet Wil lie Ritchie, lightweight champion, here on Labor Day. Ritchie has accepted and Cross has informed Promoter McCarey that h© will box the champion on any terms. BRITTON TO MEET BURNS. NEW YORK. —Jack_J5rit- ton, the clever Chicago lightweight, probably has been matched to box Frankie Burns, of Oakland, at the State A. C., in Denver, on August IL 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 th© big negro has him saying that he will surely nptura to tho 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 Part.* and that he has become morose over hts self-im posed banishment from the United States. This later interview ha* Johnson saying: “My ambition has always been to live in France but I am very melancholy because I ehall never see tl*» 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 John son-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 operv 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 say 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 &a “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 moet persistent challenger Jack John son ever had. As everything is fair In love and pugilism, it may he 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.
