Athletes Well Trained
For Wrestling Tourney

Trained to his maximum, every
wrestler who is to participate in to-
nights bouts at the Majestic Theater
is ready for the word to go. All dur
ing yesterday and last night the GYM
nasiums In the downtown sections were
the scene of strenuous preliminary
bouts. some of the athletes having used
the same training quarters during dif-
ferent periods Of the day, The South
ern Athletic Club, National Guard
Armory. and Y. NJ. c. A. have ali been
converted into temporary training
quarters, and the wrestlers have been
going through their practice bouts ''un-
der cover"
The principal match Of the tourna-
ment is that between Tom Dodge and
Joe Turner. who will contest title to
the middleweight belt. now held by the
latter. A purse amounting to $500 will
also be given to the winner. the pre-
sentation Of the belt and purse to take
place on the stage. Young Zybisco and
Bumps Turner meet in the second event,
and Leo PardellO. Italian heavyweight
wrestler, and Jim Calvin. Irish heavy
weight, clash in the last exhibition.

made that bounding ball cannot score
a legitimate goal.
The length of the periods. four in
number, are to remain the same. but the
interval between the first and second
and the third and fourth has been cut
to one minute. instead OF two. These
are believed to be the important changes.
The four most important changes are
those In relation to allowing the for
ward pass to be made across the goal
line. which is calculated to open UP the
game 70 a greater extent and to keep
line Of scrimmage. This will allow the
offensive team more chance to pierce
the line or attempt the forward pass
when within striking distance of the
goal line. Allowing four downs instead
Of three is we'll calculated to give the
make the necessary distance. where, un-
der the old rules. kicking had to be re-
sorted to.
No Neutral Zone.
Perhaps the most important change
and one which is to open up to a
! greater degree the possibilities of the
forward pass is the entire elimination
OF the 2o-yard zone. 1t is now ex-
pected that a pass of more than twenty
yards can be made at any time, the
same restrictions being placed upon
| those attempting to interfere with the
, catch.
Under the new code It will not be
possible to fall upon ball which has
bounded across the goal line for a
touchdown. This is calculated to pro-
tect the two men who run back kicks
against the ends and linemen who have
gone down on the kick. The ball will be
brought to the 20-yard line to- be put
In play or kicked after such instances.

decision made in the fifth inning OF
the section game between Ninth and
Nativity by Umpire Coliihower may
mean that tine double umpire system Is
to be employed In the remainder Of the
post-season games. The decision was
made on a play at second base and had
little bearing on the final result, but 1t
Is expected that in order to avoid SIM
liar questionable points arising the COM
mission may use the double umpire sys-
TEN.
Just why the double umpire system
is not used in the class B games is not
known. In class A two umpires are
used. and, while no games have been
played In the third section, 1t Is ex-
pected that but one was to be used.
President Young has the matter under
advisement, and players and managers
will no doubt put forth every effort to
have two umpires used In the games
which are now being played for the
championship.
President Young and Secretary Shurt-
left have advised manager Griffith, of
the Nationals, that the. plan to play the
Cleveland amateurs Is not advisable
from a financial standpoint, and 1t is
expected that the matter will be drop

Section A-Pepco VS.. Bankers.

Pepco and Bankers. playing before a
crowd estimated at close to 1900 yester-
day. fought out a nine-ninning pitchers
battle, which went at to in favor of
the Pepco team. Barton and Feinle op-
posed each other In one of the best
games Of the season, going along for
six innings without being scored upon.
In the sixth Manager Gray's players
got two tallies. With Murphy down on
a swell catch by Rawlings, Gill walked.
On hit and run play, Fury singled TO
right. Gill pulling up at third. Morris
bounced one to right, scoring Gill, and
Litz singled bringing Fury home for the
second score. Morris was retired at the
plate and Greene flied out to Riddle.

Fully 5000 persons saw Nativity take
its defeat and the crowd supported the

MORAL COURAGE

Few men lack a certain amont
OF physical courage. Few men
when marching in a regiment
with spirits buoyed by the glitter
OF arms and the cheers of COM
rades fail to keep in position
while the ranks are solid. but
when a man stands single hand
ed and is called upon in his iso-
latlon to take a stand for the
right as against expediency, he
is apt to balk.
In this very position Woodrow
Wilson has just aroused the
astonlshment and admiration of
his countrymen. Knowing how
much it is worth to carry his
own state he nevertheless spoken
IN the same. certain terms against
the candidacy of boss Jim
Smith which has characterized
his actions in all public matters.
His reward is commensurate
with his courage, for the people
OF New Jersey have buried the
candidate who for years disgrace
ed his constituency and have
nominated for the United States
Senate a man who is worthy to
run on the same ticket as Wood
row Wilson. More. While not
attempting to make nominations
IN state contest outside of New
Jersey, he plainly showed his
disapproval Of boss Murphy's
right to name a candidate for
Governor Of New York.
On Wednesday of last week
he invaded the enemy's country
where every mans business is
tied up in the meshes of a high
protective tariff and with that
degree of clearness Of vision,
fairness of manner and forceful-
ness Of speech which crop out
IN all his intercourse with his
fellow men he won a hearty re-
ception, respectful hearing and
a responsive spirit on the part
or his listeners.
Governor Wilson has the fac
ulty Of a clear perception, and
the skill to lay before his hearers
his views with such convincing
logic that they soon stand where
he stood.
