for the capture of the parties
who stole two horses in Jeffer-

to be headed this way. This is a

encourage not only officers but
many citizens to be on the look

The valley has been having the
most protracted spell of winter this
week which it has felt this season.
Snow began to fall on Saturday and
continued most of the day Sunday
making the deepest snow of the
winter. The thermometer drop
ped below zero on Sunday night
and has been down there every
night since. 1t IL quite uncomfor
able for those who have visitors
and have been telling them that
the Italian weather we had been
having always lasted all through
the winter months, but is Is not
severe enough to do any damage
and the snow will do a wonderful
amount OF good. This touch just
reminds US of what last winter was
and makes US thankful for what
we have been enjoying. 1t also

ways a sure prophet when he sees
his shadow. 1t Is only when he
fails to see it that his prophetic

VAlDOSTA WINS OPENING

Cheney is Driven From The Errors by Townsville
And Timely BinQes By VaIdosta Makes the Score
Eight to -Four.
(By Dick Utter.)

Valdosta, Ca, Aug. 29.-(Special. =
Valdosta was the winner of the first
game with Thomasville in the post
season series, to T. The game was
slow because of ad rizzling rain and
wet grounds Valdosta clearly out
classed the Thomasville crew.
Cheney opened on the mound for
the visitors, but innings were enough
for him. He was touched up for s
runs during his short stay. Roth re-
lieved him and Jared better. Winges
for the Ottos, was master Of the situa-
ton, and with the exception of two
innings, the second and the seventh,
he picthed shut-out ball.
The game was full of sensational
fielding stunts in spite of the slow
field. Schwartz and Hurley were The
whole show in that part of the game.
Happy Hawkins lead with the sticG,
getting three clean bingles.
In the fourth with three on Cham
bers and Medlock drove in runs. IN
the fifth Otto Jordan produced wal
lop that caused two more to tally.
A large crowd saw the game, IN
spite of the threatening weather.
Thomasville, Quitman and Waycross
furnished a bunch of fans. Tomorrow's
game will be played in Thomasville.

FOOTBALL IMPROVED BY
CHANGES IN The RULES
Kicking Important Factor Slight Modification in Rules
Expected to Make Gridiron Game Even More POpu.
lar Than Last FaIl-KiCkeFS in Demand

Football coaches will not have to
drill their men as hard in the fundd-
mentals of the rules this season as was
the case when the new game was first
tried out.
Then the players were at sea on
what to do on the field, and many OF
the coaches, too, were bit puzzled by
playing conditions as prescribed. But
the new game has passed its expert
mental stage now, and football au
thorities consider it a safer, sane
and more spectacular game than thai
under which there were so many in
iuries that reforms we're determined
by the public and college heads.
The small scoring in 1910 and 1911
also caused the followers of the
game to demand some changes in the
rules that would make scoring more
easy and not make it necessary for d
team to be much superior to its OPP
ponent in order to win. The game as
it worked out last year showed the
public the rule makers knew their
business when they drafted the code
under which the game was played.
Few Changes This Year.
The rules which made for more in
terest in the sport and furnished the
spectacular features last year will BE-
in force this season with few changes.
These are of minor Importance. PROB
ably the most important change eff
fected is that dealing with the kicking
rule.
It has been changed so that the
kicker need not of necessity stand five
wards back of the line of scrimmage
He may be as near the line as he
pleases. This change many experts
believe, will bring back some of the
old quick kicks from formation.
The rule affecting players leaving
the game who wish to be returned
has been altered so it reads, "A player
may be returned once at the beginning
of the fourth or last period" This was
brought about because under the old
rule a player could not be returned
to the game after be had once been
taken out, except at the beginning

Passes and Punts.

"Now penalty will be in force upon
advancing beyond the lines in case OF
punt-out This specific penalty is that
the punter's angle be moved five yards
away from the nearest goal post along
the goal line. Another ruling on punts
that will be enforced is that which de-
clares that if the punter-out makes Il
deliberate attempt by feint to draw
! his opponents have had time to return
behind the restraining line.
A relic of the old time when the ball
was snapped back always with the
hands, which has been in the rules for
, years has been done away with. 1t
read ''by one quick continuous motion
of the hands or Of the foot" and has
, been shortened by striking out the
words cor the foot"
The players may interfere with one
another until the forward pass is &C
tually made either after the forward
pass or kick is shown by the inser-
ton of new words in the rule. The
rule relating to the forward pass or :.
kick made from behind the goal line
has been made clearer, as has been
the rule relating to the dropping back
of linemen. In several places where
the official was not specified the om:-
sion has been supplied.
Kicking Important.
Under the revised rules kicking both
punting and drop-kicking, have played
an important part in results. The
coaches expect this will be the case
again this season, and many of Their,
gave their star kickers or men likely
to develop into useful players along
that line footballs when they went
away for the summer, so that they
might get plenty of practice in the
