and iniuring ten others aboard the
collier. The tug Atlantic Of the At

may be of great Importance in the de-
gliding of games. A great field goal
kicker might, under it, be substituted
at a critical moment, whereas he
might otherwise have been unable to
return. Again. a fast back, b strong
lineman or a good forward-passer
may be sent in, who under the old rule
requiring him to be SEM in at the be-
inning Of the quarter would have
been kept on the sidelines. Thus it is
seen that this rule gives a chance to
change the result of a close game,
which under the old rule would not
have been given. ....
Another change which may be ex-
pected to bring about a real change in
the play Of the different teams Is that
which removes the Limitation reuuir-
ing the kicker to be at least five yards
behind his line when getting off his
kick, allowing him to kick from any
lace behind his line. This change is
a very important one, and without
oubt the most important made by the
committee. 1t no doubt will bring back
the quick kicks from running forma-
ton up close to the line, and thus
work a change in the general play of
many teams. These quick kicks add a
great deal to the game, both from the
spectators viewpoint and from that of
the players

GREAT RACE IN
THE ASSOCIATION

st. Paul Dispatch: This A. A. race
surely is a real fight and no one can
figure out what the next round will
bring forth. The Millers. after a weeks
possession OF the top notch. were hurl-
ed from their eminence by Mike
kelley's sassy Indians. who had done
the same trick to the Brewers a few
days before. The tail-end team has
been some factor in the fight despite
its lowly position. Whoever wins the
flag will have gone through a grueling
experience such as few pennant win
ners ave to go up against.
1t has been a grand fight and what
ever the result there Is honor enough
for all. Where a race Is as close as
TINS there is no sure proof that the
best team wins.
The difference in percentage among
the first four teams at the end Of the
race Will be so small as to practically
leave them a tie so far as actual merit
Is concerned. Amy one of a dozen
things might IA changed the result
in so close a struggle.
Incidentally Kelley's Indianapolis
Braves have a chance to climb out of
last place this week, as they lack but
a game Of being even with Kansas
City. With the race a week to go there
are seven positions undecided. The
only team that Is definitely located is
st. Paul. The first four teams can all
change their position, and 80 can the
last three. Surely a race could not
well be closer tina his,
