Labor Backing RED" -
Hayes is an Insurgent

SAN JOSE, Cal, July 2S.-The
Labor party the country over is
keenly interested in a nice little
political fight in the 5th congress
sional district of California.
1t is between Everis Hayes.
Red" Hayes as he is sometimes
called, and Mayor Chas. Dawson,
of San Jose. Both are after the
seat in congress, which has been
held by Hayes.
What makes the fight of rarti-
cular interest throughout the
country is the fact that Hayes is
using campaign literature in the
form of letter from Samuel Com
pers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, and it is one
of the greatest endorsements of a
candidate ever given by the head
of the labor party. 1t gives Hayes
record in full since he first took
his seat in the house and concludes
with the words: "He has given
every evidence of being faithful to
his great trust and has never hes
ftated to serve the cause of labor
and the best interests of all the
people whenever the opportunity
has afforded"
On the strength of this letter
and his record as an insurgent in
the house, Hayes is leading mis-
regular" machine republican OPP
ponent a merry chase for votes and
the outcome is being watched with

from the game. but Stage won a
part of his fight and the pass is
retained, with restrictions which
will in the opinion of foot ball
men make it every bit as effective
and not so dangerous.
Under the new rules the player
making the forward pass must be
at least five yards back of the line
of scrimmage, and the player re-
ceiving the pass must not be over
20 yards ahead of the scrimmage
line. This means that long passes
up and down the field will be done
away with, and, by keeping the
play closer, avoid the danger from
flying and hard tackles.
Flying tackles are barred, as is
also crawling with the ball, or
pulling and hauling the runneh by
his teammates.
A former pupil of Stages at
the Midway institute, and an ath-
lete generally regarded as one of
the greatest foot ball players who
ever donned the moleskins, dis
cussed the rules freely.
"Of course, just what effect they
will have on the game towards
making it safer is predetermined
at this time. We can't tell any
thing about it until the new plays
are tried out, but to me it appears
the committee has done it's work
we'll.

does not justify it by any means.
Many bad precedent has been fol-

courts.

ent las it is in this case) to bolster
one team at the expense of an
other.
If club owners want to strength
en- their teams during the season,
let them go to the minor elague
clubs and pay fair prices for the
talent they need instead of prac-
tically bribing tail end team with
an offer of money and a couple of
players who are going back, in ex-
change for men whose playing will
enable them to remain in front.
If a manager knows that all he
has to do to bolster his team is to
offer a financial inducement to a
second division club manager, he
is not pushed to the limit of his re-
.sourcefulness in the fall, when he
can get his pick of the players in
the way recognized as legitimate

COMPANY
IS Barred

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, July 28.-Auto-
mobilists all over the country are
today impressed with the fact that
it is the purpose of the American
Automobile association to remain
supreme in all matters of contro-
versy which come under it's juris-
diction.
Until further notice the Pre-
mier Motor Car company has been
barred from all contests held I'M
der the sanction of the contest
board of the association. The
company last week secured an in
junction in the Brooklyn courts
prohibiting the Chalmers Motor
Car company from receiving the
Glidden trophy, which had been
awarded by the referee to the
Premier company. Since the con-
test board of the association had
reversed the referees decision and
given the trophy to the Chalmers
company, the securing of an in
junction by the Premier people
was regarded as an affront to the
board and the barring of the COM
pany from subsequent contests re-
suited.

TIP WRIGHT COLUMN

Nothing has been heard of late
regarding that offer of $50, 900
which Hugh Jennings is said to
have made for Pitcher Walter
Johnson and Catcher Charlie
Street OF the Washington team.
The chances are that the deal
won't come off. In the first place
it is to be hoped Manager McAleer
has too much sense to dispose of
his stars, even for a small fortune,
and in the second place / believe
Ban Johnson would prohibit the
deal.
The Detroit management is
making efforts, beyond a doubt, to
bolster up the three time cham
pions of the American league in an
effort to bring a fourth pennant
home, but in the interest of clean
base ball it is not wise to let such
a deal go through.
Last year when Detroit was slip
ping, Jennings secured Jim Dele
hanty from Washington in place of
Herman Schaefer and Tom Jones
from st. Louis in exchange for
Claude Rossman. In both in
stances, cash went with the dis
carded players.
This change was effected late in
the season when Detroit was find
ing the going mighty rough, and
there IS no doubt the deal helped
the Tigers grab the pennant.
No one will deny that there was
precedent for the action, but this

Tacoma could gather after ~
men had tried at bat in the nine
innings that Jess Baker pitched
Spokane to victory yesterday.
Jess, Ianguid Jess, OF Steilacoom,
whom Tacoma brought into pro-
fessional ball and then trified
away because the rest OF the team
was not playing ball and the team
lost regularly, is being groomed
for a major league berth and his
conduct on the slab yesterday in
dicates that he will bring a good
price and will make good.
Tacoma never had a chance
Annis had his bad first inning
when the Indians chased three
men home. With Baker pitching
there was no hope OF ever getting
them back.

OLD METHOD.

Retaining the forward pass
with certain restrictions which
limit the zone of action will make
this play much safer in my opin-
ion, while it in no way interferes
with its effectiveness.
But the greatest innovation,
and the one for which the commit
tee is to be commended is limit
ing the game to four periods of
Is minutes each and permitting
players compelled to leave the
game for rest to return. This
does away with an exhausted man
keeping doggedly in the game, as
was the custom under the old
rules, where once a man was re-
moved to the side lines he had to
stay out. Many accidents hSve
been caused by men remaining in
the game when they were physical
ly exhausted, but refused to leave
the lineup.
Limiting tn eoutside kick to
20 yards is another good feature
But, of course, you must remem-
Der that the success of the rules
as good as they now appear to be
cannot be determined until the big
teams have taken them up and
tried them thoroughly. To me ii
appears certain the innovations
made in the game will make il
safer and more satisfying both t.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 2S.-Safer
and saner foot ball under the new
rules adopted recently is predicted
by Alonzo Stage, athletic director
of the University of Chicago, and
probably the best known man in
the foot ball world, who makes his
headquarters west of the Allie
ghanies. Further than this predic-
ton Stage absolutely refused to
discuss the rules, or to go into
details as to how they would affect
the style of play.
at would be impossible for me
to discuss these changes at this
time" said Stage "as many of
them are theoretical and must be
tested in play before we can tell
whether they will be a success or
a failure. However, from what /
have read / have no hesitation in
saying that in my opinion they
will effectually diminish the dam
ger in the game and at the same
time retain many of the thrills
which make the game so popu-
lar"
The forward pass is one OF
Stages pets, and he fought hard
to have it continued in use with
out any restrictions, but the east
ern men overruled him. Indeed,
for time it looked as if the for
ward pass was to be eliminated
