few ALTERATIONS
in FOOTBALL RULES
Majority Of Changes Are Technical,
and will Have Little Effect
Upon Game.
WALTER CAMP EXPLAINS VIEWS

New York. July s1.-The intercollegiate
football rules, as promulgated by the
football rules committee yesterday. show
few changes in the gridiron code for the
season of 1918. The majority of the alter
atoms are technical and will have little
effect upon the game. The most impor-
tant change Is the rule which permits
the kicker to stand at any distance from
the line Of scrimmage when kicking, in
stead of at least five yards behind the
scrimmage line. Under the new regula-
lions 1t is expected that quick kicking
from directly behind the forwards will be
a playing feature.
Walter Camp, in outlining the work OF
the rules committee. states:
zone alteration was brought about by
the fact that a player could not be re-
turned to the game after he had once
been taken out, except at the beginning
of a period. 1t often happened that an
unexpected substitution was necessary in
the fourth period, and there seemed to be
no reason why an exception should not
be made in this case, but the rules for
bade 1t. hence they were altered this year
to read:
"'Player may be returned once at the
beginning of any period, or at any time
during the fourth or last period
1.-THE rule relating to a forward pass or
kick made from behind the goal line,
together with the rule relating to drop
ping back of linemen. has also been rem
dered clearer by changes in the wording.
I'm the rules regarding the conduct Of
players after a forward pass or after q
kick, insertion Of the words after the
pass has been made now makes It clear
that players may interfere with one an
other until the pass Ii actually made"

RICHMOND FANS
CHEER BOEHLLNG
Joe's Home Folks Root Hard
for Him When Tigers Win
on "Boehlins Day."
1,loO MAKE THE TRIP

"Boehling Day" was . success. with
the exception of the Richmond Thunder
bolt losing to the Tigers. The Richmond
fans cheered Joe the same as II he had
been winning. and showed by their root
ing that they thought Joe the kingpin
hurler Of the American League young
sters.
DR.. Parker and Gus Malbert, the SPORT
ing editor Of the Richmond Times-Dis-
patch, headed the delegation from the
Virginia capital There were some 1,1ct
in the party, and they made the park
ring with their shouts for Lefty Joe. Z"
The entire Battle Axe team occupied
seats in the boxes in front of the Rich.
mond delegation along the first base line.
while the Richmond Municipal Band
played between the innings. This band
was brought along by the Richmond
rooters. and when II played Dixie" the
boys from the South went wild.
Rattles. tin horns, Boosters gongs. and
every conceivable deyice to make noise
were used by the Richmond rooters.
Every time a man was retired by the
Climbers, the Richmond lads made the
welkin ring. while when Joe famed
Crawford in the first inning. the noise
could be heard way down Seventh Street
Joe was sure given a grand reception.
and the only thing lacking was a victory
over the Tigers. /boehlng showed that
he had not had enough rest, and tired
along about the fifth inning. Good field
ing by the Nationals aided him through
out the game.
Billy Belts. as spokesman for the Nav
Yard Boehling Club. presented Joe with
q handsome leather travelling bag, about
as nifty a bag as could be asked for. In
q few well-chosen words. Bill told Joe
and members Of the Nationals and Tigers
lust how the fans OF the navy yard
are pulling for the Climbers and Joe,
and then Joe hit liner at Gamer.
The Richmond delegation all carried
large pennants. with Richmond on them
in big letters. The Richmond rooters
were easy to single out. as they all had
a care-free look and were In for . good
time.
After the game . big crowd Of the
rooters waited outside for Joe. and when
the southpaw came out he was cheered
time and again.

II, Bobby. IT'S precious, and there are
several hurlers who wish they knew the
secret
To beat the Nationals yesterday Marx
Hall pitched exactly 100 balls. His best
inning was the third. when only seven
were delivered. During the nine rounds
he twirled sixty-one strikes, including
fouls, and sent up thirty-nine which were
called balls. He passed two and had
three balls on only two other batters,
each one striking out The Climbers were
hitting early, and did not take Q chance
on firing him toward the close of the
game by waiting him out. This II proved
by the number Of batters who took their
chance on the first ball pitched. OF these
there were eight, seven, or one-fourth Of
the number Of men retired by the De-
troit fielders being retired. not one of
the balls going out Of the infleld. The
only successful man was Milan. who sin
gled to left in the ninth.
In the same number of rounds Boehling
was compelled to send in no pitches.
seventy-four being strikes and thirty-six
being called balls. Joe hit one batter.
but did not pass any to first on balls.
Three men waited him to . three-and-two
count. one tanning. The other two were
retired by infielders. Like Hall. Joe's
best inning resulted in seven pitches, in
the sixth inning. In direct contrast to
the results obtained by the Climbers was
the work of the Detroit batters in hitting
the first ball pitched. Five times Detroit
batters offered at the initial pitch, and
on each occasion a hit resulted four
singles and q double.
