Killing MAY NOT
Be RE|NsTATEO
That Is Inference From Deal ia
Which Chicago Nationals Secure
Another Catcher of Ability.

CHICAGO, March 2i.-Chicago base
ball fans were chagrined today when
they heard Manager Chance, or the
Cubs. had traded Pitchers Knapp ana
Willis TO the Lincoln, Neb.. club OF the
Western league for Catcher Nome
macher. seeing in the deal an intima-
ton that the National Commission VIII
refuse TO reinstate Johnny King, the
great Cub catcher.
II is believed here that Chance has
been tipped on to the probable action
OF the commission and set about AT
once TO bolster up his backstopping de-
partment. The Cubs already have
Archer, Moran and Neenham as catch-
ers, and were there any change OF
King joining the team, II Is incon'
ceivable that the manager would go
after nth catcher.
The continual postponement or maj
action in the now famous case tends
TO strengthen the belief that the de-
cision expected tomorrow will be ad'
verse TO King.

FOR NEW STYLE FOOTBALL
Chicago Coach Has Perfected Set OF
Rules to Spring on Committee

the national football rules committee,

have a gridiron jolt OF huge proper
tons in store for them. and from no
less an authority than Coach Stage o.
the University OF Chicago. Stagg has
fully developed game up his sleeve
and he will spring the whole thing
on the critics.
The University or Chicago fans are
agitated over the latest Staggian in
vention all the more because the coach
has elected TO keep it 4 secret. He
declared that he would carry his new
game with him in a stronghold, and
that he will not open it under any con
sideration before he gets safely inside
the Murray Hill hotel.
Coach Stages assistants and few
insiders at the Midway have much
dope on this invention. and they ar
firm the game OF Stagg stands good
chance Of adoption In its entirety.
The Maroons attribute Stages sill
ence as TO the details OF his rules 20
modesty, and he admits that he does
not wish 10 appear as the entire com
mittee II Is therefore no breach OF
faith, say the wise Maroons. 10 an
nounce that Stages game contains ex-
ceptional opportunities for the use OF

predominating in the doings. Other
innovations will be division OF the con
test into four quarters instead OF two
halves. adjustment OF the penalty for
spoiled forward passes. and the pro
vision that only players on the ends
Of the lines may receive the forward
pass.

rules until go east" declared Coach
Stagg. My experiments in the south
were all made for the benefit OF the
game. and will give my conclusions

that the walk was not on the grade

B SAN ANTONIO. Tex, March "a
Ealetudinarians who are ever MAINTAIN

the stomach from q receptacle oi

interest this year in watching the
career Of Pitcher Edwin Oren sum
mers OF the Detroit baseball club, and
comparing his work with that OF ais

ne chalked up as meat-eatcr in lsVs
and formerly.
For this year Mr.. Summers will pro
pei the pellet for Detroit. on energy
born solely OF vegetable food, eggs
and fish.
No Use For Meat.
The decision is one which the big
pitcher has adopted after thorough
resume OF the authorities and an tnr-
mate investigation OF the various prop
critics OF foods. Up to date he has
cut meat completely from his bill o.
fnre at the training camp. He expects
10 continue the experiment through
The season or until convinced OF The
utility OF such a campaign.
There may be some who will call
me a crank" said Summers today IN
discussing the case. but I'm going 20
give the vegetable diet a thorough
trial. | am sure that, in the past,
have eaten too much meat My doc
tor tells me that right now have con-
siderable uric acid in my system,
which comes largely from meat diet.
All the authorities seem to agree that
mans vigor is increased by the
change from a combination to vege-
table diet. / expect to drink plenty
OF milk, eat eggs at least twice day.
and indulge freely in fresh vegetables.
with fish when l know that II Is per
fectly fresh as we get 1t in Detroit
and the cities OF the league that are on

oiling His Knees, Too.
Summers believes that part OF the
trouble he experienced last year with
his knees was due to lack or luorica-
tion of the joints. He has been told
that this Is one of the symptoms or ths
presence of an undue amount or uric
acid in his system. He Is employing
the vegetable diet 10 improve this con
ittion and Is also taking daily GER
tain amount OF olive oil, which he De-
1icves will go TO the spot and prevent
the friction which still results wnen
ne ilexes the knee joints.
So far as history tells, Summers ex-
periment in baseball will be in the ma
fure Of distinct novelty. At any rate
there exists no prior. case OF vegetari'
an;sm in the big leagues. IL his exam
Me proves successful IL will surely be
used as q potent argument In favor OIL
that plan of diet by those who have
always maintained that meat Is 9
dangerous food and OF doubtful
strengthening powers.
