certifying that the corporation pos
sesses the powers and authorities

left hand and from all accounts that is
what Kay has, but 1t seems that the
Indianapolis boy must have delivered the
goods or he would not have been selected
for the big fight with Shugrue. Bronson
also announced that he would not return
home until fall, and that IL Saylor beats
Shugrue he will be ready to match him
against Willie Ritcf1ie or Charley White
for 5000 side over the marathon route.
Ritchie Mitchell, Milwaukee product
in the featherweight class, is going to
have a real try-out August II, when
he tackles Bennie Chavez over the
marathon route in a twenty-round con-
test at Denver. Chavez. while he lost to
Champion Johnny Kilbane, has i'm
proved greatly of late and has de-
feated some very good boys, among
them Gene belmont of Memphis. who is
considered a very tough proposition
among the 122-pounders. Mitchell is
one of the school of boxers depending
q great deal upon a good straight left
hand and right cross and upper cut.
He is a pretty boxer and during the
past six months has gained enough in
weight to give him more strength. He
will develop into full-fedged light
weight within another year, but at the
the featherweight class Mitchell has
defeated such good boys as Cal De-
laney, Patsy Callahan and Patsy Bran
nigan. Providing the latitude does not
affect him in Colorado. he should stand
a splendid chance of holding Chavez to
a draw, with a possibility of beating
him. If he should happen to put over
a k. o. he would be in line for some
big matches in the west.

year to the 20-yard line. AS teams grad
ually became accustomed to making use
Of the scrimmage rather than actually
kicking the ball out, the rules committee
decided this year to abolish the kick-out
altogether and have every team under
any conditions after a touchback or
safety put the ball in play by a scrim-
mage on the 2O-yard line. This may be
somewhat of disadvantage under GER
tain conditions Of the wind but otherwise
it will not materially affect the game.
Another alteration was the recognition
by the committee that tripping could be
performed in some other way than by the
use of the foot or leg. 1t is well known
fact that a player can go down on the
ground and by the use of his hands trip
another player quite as well as by the use
of his foot or leg, and a clause has there
fore been inserted in the rule that in
cludes this tripping by the hands.
A very ludicrous incident of last year,
where player made an unnecessary
safety, is covered and avoided in the
rules this year by an alteration which
provides that kicked ball striking the
opponents goal bar or posts and bound
ing back into the field of play becomes
automatically touchback. whether It
be from an ordinary punt in the course
of play or from free kick of any kind
In order to facilitate the handling of the
big games, the field judge will be brought
back just as extra umpires are used in
important base ball games. He will act
as assistant to the referee and lineman
and thus will make the covering Of the
field more certain and positive. It is not
necessary to have this extra man in the
small games. and the rules provide for
this to save the teams expense.
There are few other alterations which
we shall comment upon later, but these
are the most important.

Even Stallings himself made prophecy.
while in last place, that Boston would
lead the league before September 1.
And it is not at all impossible that
this will be accomplished. Stallings has
almost repeated at Boston his career
while manager of the Yankees. In 1903
Stallings took hold of the New York
club, which had finished a sad and mis-
cradle last, and at the finish of the fol
lowing season he had them with their
heads up in second place. After accom-
plishing this wonder he was fired!

and speeding them at an 500 pace. Is
honor enough.
Oddly. the management of the Braves
are the only ones not surprised at dhe
remarkable showing of the boys from
Beantown.
President Gaffney remarked at the start
of the season:
Il have the best manager in base ball
in Stallings, and you mark my words,

as manager of another tailender that was
even worse than the Yankees were in
1909. Now he has them in second place
(or did have). All of which is a record
unapproached by the far-famed McGraw,
Jennings and Griffith in their famous
ascensions from the bottom to the top.
The success of the Boston Braves boys
is due entirely to the managerial ability
of Stallings, particularly shown in the
way he handled his pitchers and the
spirit inspired. Dick Rudolph was cast
aside several times by big league teams,
including the Giants. before Stallings was
