Pitcher Kroh Charged
With Being Ringer

WILKESBARRE. Pa, Aug IL
William l.. McCullum of this city,
president of the Susquehanna league,
has received charges that Pitcher
Floyd Kroh of the Chicago Nationals
had pitched for Danville of the Sus-
quehanna league against Bloomsbury
last Saturday. He assumed. it is
charged, the name of McHale and
posed as a pitcher by that name from
Colby college, who was being given a
tryout by Danville
He won his game easily by the score
of to l and showed such proficiency
that his cleverness was remarked.
Mrs. John Mears of Chicago, who was
in the grand stand, recognized him.
1t is charged that the Danville
management secured Kroh in Phila-
delphia, where he was suspended for
misbehavior.
President McCollum has given the
Danville management "a hours to
prove that the pitcher was not Kroh.

KEN DOLE'S INJURY
IS EXAGGERATED
Report That Stanford Ruuby
Captain Would Be Unable
to Play Denied
By WILLIAM UNMACK

The announcement that Ken Dole,
the Stanford Rugby captain for the
coming season, had been so badly in
jured that he would be unable to play
in the games this season, was without
foundation. The rumor originated in
the brain of some Stanford fan who
heard that Dole was injured in Aus
tralia, and, in being passed on from
one to the other the injury was
made to appear as something of an
extraordinary nature. The announce
ment caused a decided sensation in
football circles, and Stanford adher-
ents were particularly downcast at tho
affair.
Dole was slightly injured in one OF
the games in Australia, wrenched his
back a trifie and did not play for a
few games. He recovered, however,
and played previous to leaving Austria
liza The injury was received nearly
two months ago. No word has been
received from the team for over three
weeks, and those letters were another
three weeks old, SO that it can be seen
there was no cause for alarm over
Dole's condition.
Other members of the team were
slightly injured besides Dole, and Cap
tain Cert was hurt in the very first
game of the tour. Other men injured
were Bennett. Elliott, Horton, Leavitt,
Allen and Sandborn, but none of the in
juries was of a nature to cause any
alarm. The team will be back next
Sunday week, and it is expected that
the long sea voyage will have COM
pletely reinvigorated all the injured
men, and that they will all be in proper
condition to start the season as soon as
they land.
All the Santa Clara valley teams
are now out for practice. The Palo
Alto team has not up to the present
secured a coach, and it is not thought
likely that a professional will be en-
gagged. A member of the faculty will
in all probability coach fiie team. The
Santa Clara high school has no coach,
but this school will follow the lead of
the Santa Clara college, and whoever
coaches the college team will also act
for the high school
Santa Clara college has not secured
coach. though negotiations are now
pending with several well known
Rugby players. Harry Mckenzie has
definitely decided that he can not give
the necessary time to the coaching
this year, and SO will be unavailable
for the college team that he so ably
rounded into form last season.

pass or kick the ball unless he is FIVE
yards back Of the line of scrimmage.
The territory forward of the line of
scrimmage and consequently in the
enemy's camp, is adjudged neutral for
a distance of 20 yards pending the COM
pletion of a forward pass or kick. A
forward pass is not legal If the ball
crosses a line 20 yards in advance of
the spot where it was put in play, be-
fore touching the ground or player.
In the case of a kick, the players
on the defence within the 20 yard zone
must not interfere with the ends, or
other players until their opponents have
advanced 20 yards beyond the line of
scrimmage.
Interlocked interference, that is,
players of the side having the ball
taking hold of each other, or using
their hands or arms to grasp their
teammates in any way, is forbidden,
and it is also forbidden for any man on
the side having possession of the ball,
to push or pull in the man running
with the ball
Another innovation is to be noted in
regard to the substitution of players
during a game. A new rule provides
that a player who has been removed
for any cause except disqualification or
suspension, may be returned to the
game once at the beginning of any
subsequent period.
The longitudinal lines formerly mark
ing the field are done away with, as
the quarter back may now cross the
line Of scrimmage at any point.

Old System Of Halves Is Abolished and
Flying Tackle Is Eliminated

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-After working

culated 10 minimize greatly the danger
OF accidents existing under the old
rules. The time Of play is divided into
tour periods of Is minutes each in
stead OF two S5 minute halves. The
usual intermission of Is minutes is
maintained between the second and

three minutes only is allowed between
tae nrst and second and third and
fourth periods. During this short in

The flying tackle has been entirely
eliminated by new ruling that pro

BEAVER Wins FIRST /
SENDER CUP RACE.
Harp0On Finishes Ahead, but Is
Disqualified for F0ufing
Buoy

MARBLEHEAD, Mass, Aug. H.
The Beaver, owned by C. H. w. Fos-
ter, won the first of the Spanish
American sender yacht races here to-
day. The Harpoon, owned by C. F.
Adamson, second. finished first. but
disqualified herself by fouling a buoy
The Gina, owned by Guy Lowell. was
a close third. The Spaniards sailed a
poor race and were far astern.
The Chonta finished fourth, Papoose
fifth and Mosquito II sixth.
The race was over triangular
course, two miles to the leg. There
was an eight to ten knot noreaster
with some sea-
The official elapsed time follows:
Harpoon, 203 "a; Beaver, 03:46; Gina.
2:03:4S; Chonta, 2:11:55 Papoosey 2:16:21;
Mosquito III, 2:21:54
The Spanish team was made up of
the Chonta, the Papoose and the
Mosquito II, while the three defend
erS of the President Taft and Governor
Draper cups, which are the principal
trophies for this years racing, were
the Beaver, the Gina and the Har-
pooh.
According to the conditions of the
international sender yacht rules the
yachts were built in the country which
they represented and manned entirely
by Corinthian crews. The President
Taft cup will go to the yacht first win
ming three races, while the Governor
Draper cup will be awarded on prin-
ciples. The Eastern yacht club, which
has control over this years interna-
tional races with the federation of
Spanish yacht clubs, also offers first
and second prizes for each day. While
the best of feeling prevailed between
the yachtsmen and good sport is the
aim of each side, the Yankee tars are
rather anxious to relieve the defeat
in Spain three years ago for the
queens cup, although several minor
trophies were brought back after the
races at Bilbao and San Seba stan.

FOOTBALL SEASON
Opens SATURDAY
Lowell and Oakland High Teams
VIII Clash i'm Inaugural
Game

Considerable interest is being taken
in the opening game of football to be
played on Saturday between the
Lowell and Oakland high school teams
Both teams are practicing daily and
the men are fighting keenly for the
respective places. Lowell has a good
squad out daily and there are two
scrub teams selected of IS men each
and regular game is INDUCED in. The
team has now been out for more than
q week, but the form shown by the
men is very poor. Their condition
seems to be all right, but their knowl-
edge of several points is not as good
as last years team.
The men are taught to pass with
both hands and are instructed when
making a pass to turn the upper part
OF the body toward the man who is to
receive the pass. This is absolutely
wrong and it impedes the runners
progress to such an extent that his
liver the pass to his teammate the lat
ter, in most cases, is tackled the min
ute he receives the ball. The act of
twisting the body to pass not only
slackens the speed, but gives the other
players a clew to the man who will re-
celve the ball, and he is naturally a
target for the opposition.
Lowell had a good team last season
and the material is there for another
good team this season, but the little
fault mentioned is likely to cause the
men considerable embarrassment when
they stack up against team that
knows the game like Mission, PaIo
Alto or other Santa Clara valley teams.
The Oakland team has been prac-
q IN L or Il
and seems to be coming along nicely.
The men are of course new to the
game and show their lack of knowledge
on certain points, but with a little
more practice and a few games they
will prove a formidable team.

Mayor Did Not Spy on
New York Fight

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-E. A. Luescher,
just a plain citizen, mistaken for John
Purroy Mitchell, the acting mayor,
caused all the mystery surrounding the
stoppage of the Lang-Kaufman fight
at the Paramount athletic club last
night.
With friend he went to witness the
bout and learning in advance that the
police would interfere. he hired room
adjoining the club quarters to watch
proceedings. AS he left he was hailed
as being the acting mayor, and the
rumor spread that Mitchell had person
ally spied on the club before ordering
the bout called off.
Mitchell, while admitting that he had
instructed Police Commissioner Baker
to stop the bout, Indignantly denied
today that he was there in person, so
Luescher, innocent cause of the mys-
terry, sent a letter to the acting mayor
explaining how it all occurred.
Police Commissioner Baker issued a
statement this afternoon assuming full
responsibility for stopping the fight.
He had conferred with the acting
mayor and had received instructions to
prevent the bout
