"DUTCH' BLOWING
 ABOUT CHAPPELLE

New Orleans, August 15.-(Special)- Memphis didn't release Chappelle uncon- ditonally. If she did she had no right to, and the unconditional release won't stand said Manager Frank tonight when shown the dispatch to the effect that Chappelle intended signing with Boston.
 ''The Memphis club asked waivers on Chappelle," continued the New Orleans manager and I claimed him the second day. Before they could release Chappelle internationally they had to get waivers from all Southern league clubs I refused to waiver and yesterday paid Memphis the waiver price, $400.
 "Chappelle is the property of the New Orleans club and he cannot play with Boston. 1 will stand pat as l have paid out the money for him. I am expecting him to report any time. I heard today that he was in Mississippi and had pitched a game for some Mississippi club, have heard nothing from him, but don't anticipate any trouble when he under stands that he cannot play anywhere else unless the New Orleans club disposes of him. Chappelle may have understood things that way, but he was mistaken, for the Memphis club could not release him in the face of my refusal to waive on him."

In less than five weeks active prac- tice of southern football teams will begin.
 It doesn't seem possible now, with an August sun steaming hot and the end of the baseball season still 35 days away; but the date for the donning of the moleskins is creeping upon us. Of course there will be no games of any importance in the south before September 26. But most teams will
 have had week or 10 days of practice before then.
 The Vanderbilt team yanks off the lid on the 26th. Tennessee, Tech and Arkansas open up October 8, and Au- burn October 5. October may be con- sidered the date of the real south ern opening, though no teams will do any serious playing before the following Saturday.
 The football teams in the south will have to face no elaborately revised rules this year as they have in the past. The changes in the code over last year are neither numerous or revolutionary. Briefly they are:
 l. Change in the forward pass rule. 2. Changes in the penalty for hurd- ling and roughness.
 B. Change in the length of the in- terval between halves.
 The forward pass, naturally, came in for the most changes. This play is still in it's formative state and Is be- ing tinkered with each year. Last
 season the forward pass play, as OK ecuted by many teams consisted in throwing the ball forward and letting
 several of the players on the passer'.'
 side and all of those on the other side
 scramble for it.
 This scrambling thing was not con
 sidered good football and yet at tn e
 same time the rule makers wanted to
 give the teams that really execute thu
 pass well and throw it to some cer-
 tain man on the team as good chance as they ever had. So the new forward
 pass rule requires that the man on
 the passer's side who first touches the
 ball must be the one to recover it it
 it is dropped, unless it is in the mean
 time touched by some member of the
 opposing team. It will therefore be
 impossible under the rules to send
 three or four men forward to get the
 forward pass, let one of the bunch slap
 it down and the rest scramble for It..
 The man who touches it must recover
 it or let the opposition have the first chance at it. If this rule Is broken
 that is, if some man on the passer's
 side touches the ball after 1t has been
 touched by another man on his side
 without previously being touched by an opponent the ball shall go over at
 the point where the ball was first
 legally touched.
 In order to define strictly just how
 much the players of both teams may
 use their hands and arms in attempt
 ing to get at ball that has been
 passed forward the rules provide that
 when the ball is in the air the players
 on the defensive side must not use their hands and arms on opponents except to push them out of the way to get at the ball themselves. That is, there must

be no holding, tackling and the like. Players who are going down the field under the pass have the same privi- lege as those going down under kick.
 The change in the hurdling and un- necessary roughness rule provides for a penalty of loss of 15 yards. point to be gained and number of downs to re- main the same. The old penalty for unnecessary roughness was 15 yards from spot where foul occurred, the ensuing down to be first down and the point to be gained to be 10 yards from the spot where the foul occurred.
 The intermission between the halves has been heightened to 15 minutes and a penalty provided if team does not appear on time.
 A few other minor changes have been made. The field judge, who never real ly had very hard job, has been made official timekeeper and now has juris- diction with the umpire over the bat ted ball rule. The penalty for batting, by the way, has been made loss of bali.
 It has been officially ruled that when fouls occur they may be declared by the side offended against unless they come under the forward pass rule. Of course in case of a disqualification this hoCS iol oaNS lHc OlltHulHB pldySi lIOHu being put out of the game.
 The only other change of the slight est importance is that if a ball kicked or passed forward, except in cases of try at goal, strikes the goal posts or cross bar it shall be considered to have crossed the goal line. In case the ball strikes an official the play shall be gone through with again.
 None of these rules are such as make any material difference with the new football' and the game that has been so popular In the south will continue so.

Montgomery, August 15-(Special. )-The Barons played listlessly Saturday, and this fact, combined with the excellence of "Whitey'' Guese's twirling, gave the To- calls comparatively easy victory
 At the end of the game the score stood Birmingham 1, Montgomery 3.
 The Barons' lonely run was made on an error and a long hit in the first inning Bliss, who was playing left field, let Hen- lines drive find a way through his out stretched legs.
 Bauer was in good trim, but the sup port received by him was listless and of the "don't care" caliber.
 Montgomery made It's first two runs in the second inning. Perry walked and was followed by Rockenfield, who ozoned Pope got plugged by a pitched ball. Perry went to third on a passed ball, Pope reaching second at the samt time. Shan non singled and both runners celebrated by crossing the rubber.
 Montgomerys last run was scored in the third inning. With one man down Reagan got hit by a pitched ball. He SlOle SeCOHu. GreHlluBer SdlellSQ to center and Reagan counted.
 From the third inning on to the finish the Barons played with a little more snap than during the first three innings, but their return to life was too late. iWth one man down in the seventh in- ming and three men on bases, however, the visitors woke up in time to make a double, and thus saved what would have been a bigger score.
 The game was called in the ninth inning when two men were down, in order to al- low the visitors to catch train home.
