Washington, Aug. 22.-President Will
son today nominated Samuel 8. Gray
bill to be postmaster at Hutchinson,
Kan, also F. M. Murphy at Clyde.
The nomination Of Graybill to the
Hutchinson pOstmastership means the
present state live stock sanitary COM
missioner has come into a reward that
has long been deferred. 1t marks the
end Of the bitter fight of more than a
years standing for the job as stamp
canceler in Congressman George A.
Neeley's home town and all that re-
mains for the placing of Graybill in his
new office is the formal confirmation
by the United States senate. GraybiIl
will probably be confirmed next week
Among Neeleys most ardent sup
porters and faithful friends, Graybill
stands alone and at the top. 1t IL not
SO much the actual service that Gray
bill has performed-although Graybill
was always on the job In Neeley's be-
half. Neeley never needed a man FRI
day but that Graybill was on the side
lines ready to volunteer his services.
When Neeley was nominated for con-
gress in the Dodge City convention in
1911, following the death OF the late
Ed Madison, Graybill was chairman Of
the Seventh district Democratic COM
mittee and worked day and night to se-
cure the Hutchinson lawyers election.
In the campaign two years ago. Gray
bill thought of nothing except Neeley'a
success.
Then came the fight for the postof-
fice. Sheriff X. C. Beck wanted the
Job. So did Graybill. Finally Beck saw
the handwriting on the wall, dropped
out of the fight and worked for Colonel
"Bil'' Sapp In the recent senatorial
primaries Yet there was never an
hour when Graybill was not true to the
faith and he gave the best that he pos
aeased that Neeley might Vfu Now he
reaps his reward in receiving an ap-
pointment that has been held up fol
months.
GraybiH will leaye the state service
as live stock sanitary commissioner al
soon as his appointment il confirmed

advised his friends that Taylor Riddle

OFFENCE GETS PREFERENCE
IN DECISIONS OF OFFICIALS
Such Is Ruling at Annual Meeting to Interpret
1914 Football Code-kick Bounding From
Goal Posts Is Anybody Ball

10y a defensive player or member Of
the kicking team 'onside.'
The point relating to the use OF hands
by the defensive team was decided only
ifter the warfnest OF discussions. David
l.. Futz of Brown, head OF the Baseball
Players Fraternity and n well known foot
ball umpire, was strong in his protest
against allowing the defensive player ~
mold n opponent under any conditions.
strongly against Fultz was q. Foster
Sanford, formerly n Yale line coach. but
now in charge Of the squad at Rutgers.
The centre rush will be allowed no
leeway In his passing. and the moment
the ball moves from its initial position on
the ground IT shall be considered as
being in play. In cases Of fumbles
after "felnts" to pass tho ball back
from centre the ball shall be declared
dead. and defensive players shall not
he allowed the privilege OF refusing the
penalty even In case Of the recovery OF
the ball after tumble.
IL was ruled that IN cases of use
OF hands rather than shoulders 10y men
not "onside" after an untouched bound
ing kick the receiving team shall be
awarded the ball and hive yards besides
This ruling was made for n play on
which defensive player is pushed onto
the ball by member of the kicking
team
Sanford's point was that an Inherent
principle OF all defence was the use ot
hands to yet NJ the man with the ball.
even II this meant holding an opponent
aud trying to push him into the play.
Sanford called Fultz to no uncertain task
for decisions made last year. and finally
was successful in carrying his point. II
was ruled that the defensive team might
hold" until tho play developed" Some
Insisted that the play would not develop
until the ball had passed the scrimmage
line. but the final decision of the central
board was that the referee should decide
this point In fact.
The rules were 10 slmplhed that there
no longer II any doubt that the rules
committee intends that In all cases n
kicked bah hitting the goal posts. ex,
cept when a field goal il made on the
