Do Not Like the Action Taken BY
Joint Rules Committee

Chicago, May 4.-Disappointmen
was expressed at the University of
Chicago this week at an action OF
the national rules committee in put
ting crimp in open football by COM
polling forward passes behind the line
and cutting down the distance to be
gained i'm three downs from ten to

no more be seen. 1t was predicted that
the game of football will lose in popu-
larity now that the limitations have
been placed on the sport.

MANAGERS REGISTER KICK
ON RULINGS OF UMPIRES
Say American League Indicator
Handlers Interpret Rules
Incorrectly.
COACHERS HELPING RUNNERS

Chicago. May 1.-Two American
leauge umpires already have told
managers and players this season that
coachers can leave their territory near
first and third bases to help runners
back to the bases and still not cause
the runners to be called ont.
That has set players and managers
to wondering. Fred Payne and Mana
ger Duffy of the White Sox say their
team would have won the recent game
at st. Louis had OLoughlin called
Demmitt and Stone out when Manager
O'Connor ran out OF the third base
coacher's box To help them back To the
bag.
I'VE kicked. and O'Loughlin said
Pom johnson told him that was all
~ight" said Payne.
Monday Managers Mcclure and
Dufy asked KERN for ruling on that
point. in Cleveland.
ITS all right for the coacher to
'eave his box" was Kerin's reply
And that is the way Ban Johnson's
umnires are dealing with the rule that
reads as plainly as any rule ever
written.
Fan Johnson was wired as follows:
"Have American league umpireS
been Instructed to let coachers APP
rroach nearer that Is feet to first
and third bases?"
HIS answer was:
american league umpires have not
been so instructed.
WHAT'S the answer? Somebody Is
wrong.
The rule defining the coacher's box
says that no coacher shall approach
nearer than Is feet TO either first OF
third base Section 10 of rule Sc saws
that IF one or more members Of the
team at bat stand or collect around
base for which a base runner Is
irving. therehv confusing the feldinq
side and adding to the difficulty OF
making such play, the base runner
shall be declared cut for the inter-
fcrcr CO of his tearmate or team
mates"

Tyrus won't have a word to say

MIKE KELLY BECAME HERO
THROUGH SARCASTIC REPLY

There have been many players who
did not hesitate to pick up challenge
from the crowd. Mike Kelly was one
of these. In one of the last games he
ever played in Cleveland he had his
troubles from stalt to finish. Cy
Young pitcher for Cleveland, struck
the "only Kelly out twice in success
sion. on either occasion hit would
have won the game.
Mike had a way of saying sarcastic
things to the fans when luck was not
coming his way. and the fans never
hesitated to roar at Kelly whenever
their opportunity came. on this day.
as Kelly started toward the bench af-
ter his second strikcout, a man sitting
In the front row of the grandstand
arose, and putting his lips to the wire
screen, snarled.
your lamps have gone out, Kelly
You're a bum player for a $4,000
beauty
Kelly halted and looked up into the
stands from where the remark came
Taking off his hat and making
sweeping courtesy in the fans direc-
ton, Mike said:
II know II. old man; know It, And
II II wasn't for such easy guys as you
I'd be carrying a hod and getting
dollar and a quarter day, as you
probably are
The crowd roared its appreciation
and no one laughed more heartily than
the fan whom Kelly addressed, who
happened to be very well-known
and moderately wealthy man, whose
income probably was far I'm ex-
cess of that of the famous ball player.
