This was considerable of an ut
terance for Charles Albert. who
likes to grin and let the other folks
converse.
Mark this also: Colonel Bender
will report in absolutely perfect
condition; for he has been taking
care of himself this winter. Bend

He looks it, too.
u ENDER has been having a great
time in Atlanta this winter.
He has hunted over most Of Geor-
gia, from the northern sections
clear to the depths of the Oconee
swamp: and he has killed a lot Of
game, for there are not a half dozen
better amateur gun performers in
ion.
Also Bender has played some
golf
marvellous player is this cool
headed pitcher His strength of
shoulder and arm and his great
knowledge Of the game make him
a dangerous man on the links. He
hits tremendous ball and his short
game is clever. He has only one
golting weakness He does not
know how to swear.
Most bah players are given to
profanity. ON and off the field. Your

far AS that goes, among golfers

is not unknown.
But none of it for Bender. He

ADAMSON NO MATCH
FOR FORD MUNGER
Baltimore Boy 0utpoints Him
All the Way in Bout at
Ardmore.

"Swatts" Adamson was not nearly as
clever as Ford Munger Of Baltimore in
the f1fteen-round bout at Ardmore and
the latter won rather easily. 1t was Num-
gers fight from the start. His work was
much superior to that Of Adamson, al
though he showed plainly that he lacked
hitting power.
Adamson tried to force the fighting from
the start with the result that he tired
himself considerably. He tried to carry
the fight to Munger, and the latter did not
have the least trouble in keeping out of
his way. He simply kept going by using
his feet to advantage and would step in
and deliver q couple Of jabs at any time
he saw a favorable opportunity.
The eleventh and twelfth rounds were
Munger's by a great margin, and he had
Adamson hanging on during the most of
the periods. It Is doubtful IL there was
single round In which Munger got the
worst Of the tussle.
Williams Of Baltimore and Shanky
Gardner Of this city fought six fast
rounds In the semi-windup and the bout
was declared a draw. The decision met
the popular acclaim Of the fans. Will
liams looked to have the margin In
weight Young Thomas, a local boy, was
knocked out by Kid Martin Of Baltimore.
The Baltimore lad had much on him in

ored fighter, was to have gone three
rounds, but slipped and fractured his
kneecap early in the first round.

FOOT BALL GUIDE
FOR 1918 IS OUT
Rules Have Been Much
Changed, But Book Is Com
prehensive- Other Gossip.
By II. G. BYRD.

The Capital City League has rearranged
its schedule. % that tho championship
will be decided without question. All the
postponed and tie games between Cornell
and tho Bankers will take place, and
| three Of them will be played successfully.
The first game Of the new schedule is
to be played today. It will take place be-
tween Cornell and Waverly. Waverly
Will appear In another game, one 1t has
scheduled with the Bankers for next
wednesday. All the other contests will
be between the American Security and
Trust and Cornell. the first Of which is
booked for tomorrow. Games between
these two clubs are also scheduled for
next Monday and Tuesday. After these
three games there will be one Wednesday
between the Trust Company and Waiver
ly, and Cornell and the Bankers will play
the final game Of the season Friday.
The games as arranged during the next
few days between Cornell and Bankers
will certainly show one thing about the
series that has been one Of the main con-
tentions in every contest in which the
two clubs have fgured-whether or not
the Bank team has another pitcher be-
side Ffenle who can beat Cornell. 1t
has been asserted by the Cornell players
Der Of the staff and that Ffenle is the
only one Of the Banks hurlers who has
the margin on them. Whether or not that
is true will be known within the next few
days. Fienle Is a pitcher who needs quite
q little rest to be at his best, and, with
the games coming one after another
other men will have to be depended upon
to win.

son Is out. 1t is probably the most re-
plete book Of the kind that has ever been
published. Here is an excerpt from a

About the only rule that is changed to
the extent Of affecting the style Of play
to any appreciable extent in foot ball Is
that relative to the place from behind
may be made. Last year 1t was necessary
that the punter be at least Ave yards be-
hind the line Of scrimmage. the same as
was required for q forward pass, but
this has been changed 50 that the kick
may be made from any position back OF
the hne Of scrimmage. One other change
win add something to the effectiveness
Of the forward pass, In that It will allow
tho men Of the offensive side to spill men
tually made. A play may be made In
this wise: The offense will send down
one or two men to get the defensive man
out Of the way, while the pass will be
made to some man who directly precedes
them or is slightly behind. The rule rela-
tive to the sending in Of substitutes in
the middle Of the last quarter will only
affect the game in that 1t will allow the
coaches wider latitude in making their
desired to save star player in a close
game. In case he Is somewhat overtrain-
ed, he need not be sent into the last
quarter at its beginning for fear that he
may not be able to go in later at time
when he might be greatly needed. AS
the rule now reads he may be kept out
until a crisis comes up.
