MANY CHANGES IN FOOTBALL
RULES SUGGESTED NEXT YEAR

More trouble for the football rules
committee. In no previous winter has
this much-maligned body been so har-
ried by criticism, or so nearly swamped
by suggestions of every variety. some
good, some bad, but most Of them Of
doubtful value. The work OF its mem
beTs was watched last season closer
than ever before. and as a result fol-
lowers of the game have become divided
into two sharply defined classes, radi-
cal and conservative.
On one alteration in the rules the law
making body is at present practically

LAJ0IE TAKES REMNANT
Champion Batter Says But
Four Teams Stand Chance
TO Win Trophy.

Cleveland. March 12.-According to
Captain Lajoie of the Blues only four
teams have a chance 10 land the
American league pennant this fail.
Larry says that the race will be be-
tween Boston, Cleveland, New York
and Philadelphia with the other four
clubs fighting for the honor OF lead
ing the second division.
In sizing up the situation Larry has
the following 90 say;
Boston will be just as strong as last
year. but no stronger, as Hughes. in
mind, was a trihe better twirler than
Tannehill, at least he was harder for
US to hit than was fanny New York
will be in better shape. Last year the
Highlanders did not get started I'M
til they had secured Elberfeld and
Griffith had struck his gait. This year
they Will start off better. as Griffith
has practically recOgered his health,
while their infeld will have the ad-
vantage of playing together for sew
eral months.
"A year age Griffith had to start
out with an infisld that had never
played together and. naturally, he was
handicapped. Big John Anderson is q

suit OF an injury before the season

Willie Keller also should be in bet
ter form, as he was another who be
gan the season crippled, his shoulder

As to Clevelahd's chances, I only
ask for fair share of the luck and
a divorce from the injuries that put

Barney Oldfield sees the handwriting

years, with "A car far faster than any
Of the cars pitted against him. Now
the makers and importers are bringing

ers from Europe and America may en-
