STAGG IN FAVOR
 OF CHANGING RULE

Chicago, Dec. IA. A1onzo Stagg, who as director of athletics at the University of Chicago achieved the football cham of the westeDn intercollegiate conference, will attend the meeting of the football rules com mittee in New York next February and at that time will recommend that the rule relating to throwing of the kicker should not be enforced too se- vereIy. He said the art of blocking punts is one of the best plays in foot ball.
 Under the present ruling player who merely bumps the kicker after the latter has sent the ball down the field should be put out of the game. It is generally the case that a player of the defending team cannot check himself quickly enough to avoid pumping the kicker, and Stagg be- Iieves the rule should be amended and the officials made the sole judges whether the kicker is roughed inten- tiona4Iy or accidentally.

The Meriden baseball franchise may land in North Adams, Mass, after all Owner Joe Whalen of the Meriden club has written to newspapermen deal with the Scinski brothers has not been closed and it is still possible for North Adams to purchase the fran chise. Although the Scinski brothers have taken an option they have done nothing lately to close the deal and President O'Rourke has been unable to get any information from them.

Big Bill Edwards, the former Princeton star, picks the following: Merrillat, West Point, and Wagner, Pittsburgh, ends; Storer, Harvard, and BaIlin, Princeton, tackles; Brown, Navy, and Pennock, Harvard, guards; McEwan, West Point, center: Prichard. West Point, quarterback; Mahan, Harvard, and Guyon, Carlisle, halfbacks; Brick1ey, Harvard, fullback.

 The value of the open game was shown Saturday when West Point beat the Navy in the annual football battle by -22y to g. The Army could do nothing by line attacks but when they opened up with foreward passes and end runs, rolled up three touch downs. The passes were thrown from a western formation taught to the cadets by the Michigan coach, Hurry Up'' Yost.

SWEENEY WON'T
 BECOME MANAGER

Capt. Bill Sweeney of the Braves is so we'll satisfied with his position in the Boston club that he will make no effort to secure the berth as manager of the Cincinnati Reds which Presi- dent Gaffney gave him permission to do, in letter to him. If the Cincin- nati club wishes to secure the services Of Sweeney it will have to come to him with pretty strong inducements.
 Following is Sweeney's reply to the letter from President 7Gaffney, which explains itself:
 .TYour very kind favor of the 18th was handed to me this morning by MT. Nickerson. I wish to assure you of my sincere thanks and apprecia- tion. fully appreciate the generous spirit which you have shown. I am at loss just now to definitely state whether or not will seek the posi- tfon of manager of the Cincinnati club. conditions with me have changed greatly since your connection with the Boston club, so much so that now find perfect satisfaction in my sur roundings, treatment, etc, so that 1 am not anxious to attain the man agerial goal as was some years ago.
 'I have never been treated better during by baseball career than I have been since you became president Of the club. Particularly do I appreciate MT. Stalling's kind treatment of me in the financial matter last sea son.
 Since last season I have determined to permanently locate in Boston and am now busiIy engaged planting seed for future insurance business which I know will eventually bear fruit So that for the addition of $1,000 or $2,0OO salary I do not think it will pay to seek the Cincinnati management. If the Cincinnati club wishes to obtain my services they will probably make the overtures for my release

YAMADA WANTS
 TO PLAY HOPPE

Willie Hoppe, the champion at 18.2 tbalkline billiards, who recently suc- ceeSfully defended his title against Calvin DemareSt, when he defeated his challenger by 500 to 294, will in all probability be called upon to again de- fend his title in January against Koji Yamada, the Japanese expert. Yama- ,da, since he has been in this country, has shown himself to be in the first ranks of balkline opponents, and more than once has caused Cnlook CTS to marvel at his wonderful accom- p1fsh- ments with the ivory spheres.
 Yamada is probably the youngest player now aspiring to the champion ship ranks, having taken to the game of billiards from a scientific stand point in the last five years. When he first began playing in America he had but little experience at the 1S.2 balk- line style of game. During his first year he contested in the championship tournament, and was the only player to win a game from Hoppe-

Hints to
 Advertisers
By HOLLAND.


 THE man who prepares \ copy for a printer, wheth- CT it iS a reading notice or an advertisement, should re- member a few essentials. Typewriter copy Is better than that made with a pen or pencil. But if you must ] use a pencil write as plainly as possible. Do not crowd your words together. Leave plenty of space at the top and bottom of the page and between lines. Paper is cheaper than a mans time deciphering illegible writing WRITE ONLY ON ONE - SIDE OF THE PAPER, and if you use more than one sheet number the pages Re member that some man must read what you are writing and that he does not know what you mean to say and must be guided by what you do say. Write your copy as plainly as you would like to have the other man write 1t if you had to put it in type Designate the lines that you want displayed and do not expect extra large type in q small space.
 The editor of this paper knows something about ad- vertising and a good deal about the typographical art. He will be glad to have you consult him about preparing your copy. The advice he offers will be free and hon. est. And you don't need to follow it unless it seems sound to you.

MERIDEN FRANCHISE MAY
 60 TO NORTH ADAMS, MASS.
Control Of Boston Red Sox Passes
 From McAleer And McRoy

Roaring Red Rorty, who at various times umpired in the old Connecticut league, will be with the international league next season. President Bar row of the big minor organiza ton has made him a 1attering offer and Red was never known to overlook any thing that looked like money so he will probably accept. For the past few seasons in the New England league, Rorty has been quoting ex- tracts from Joe Mfller's joke book and has been getting away with it to such an extent that they think he is a comedian up there.
 Official batting averages of the Ma tiona1 league issued today show tha Jake Daubert of Brooklyn, is the lead ing batsman with the fine average Phillies is second with .341. In stol- en bases Max Carey of the Pirates, leads with 61.
 Control of the Boston American league club passed from the hands yesterday when Joseph Lannin bought their stock for about $220,0 The present owners were unpopular in Boston since the 1912 worlds series when the Royal Hooters were depriv- ed of their seats by Secretary McRoy. The rise of the National league in Boston last season convinced Ban Johnson that radical measures must be taken to restore the American league to favor. Bill Carrigan will probably remain as manager of the Sox for next season at least.
 Joe Tinker, who was relieved of his job as manager of the Cincinnati club, says he prefers a place in Chicago to any other club because he has a business in the Windy City. Chicago is prepared to trade Bresnahan and Corrideon for Tinker. The Phillies are willing to give Knabe for him. Tinker says Three Finger Brown will be the next Cincinnati manager. - Quarterback Prichard has been elected captain of the West Point eleven for next year. The cadets gave the team a. great welcome when they arrived home yesterday.
